Blocking Bright's path were the ninjas under Kurozumi Orochi, known as the Guardians of the Inner Court.
Of course, the ninjas of this world were worlds apart from the ones next door. Without Devil Fruits, they were little different from ordinary people, relying on nothing more than strange martial arts and tools.
Bright's assessment of these people was that they were not even as good as the Nine Red Scabbards. Utter trash.
"Who the hell are you?"
With his subordinates standing before him, Kurozumi Orochi regained some of his courage. He snapped angrily, "You dare barge into this general's Castle Keep? You've got some nerve!"
"General, judging by this man's attire, he appears to have come from overseas."
Fukurokuju, the leader of the Guardians of the Inner Court, a man with a huge bald head and long earlobes, spoke calmly.
"O-Overseas?"
Kurozumi Orochi's expression changed abruptly. He said in alarm, "Could you be one of the Charlotte Family?"
This country had been closed off from the world for eight hundred years. Its people knew nothing of the outside world.
But Kurozumi Orochi was naturally an exception.
The News Birds of the all-pervasive World Economic News Agency could not cover this country, but they could at least deliver newspapers to Onigashima.
As Kaido's partner, Orochi naturally knew of the Charlotte Family. He even knew that they had come to Wano Country to cause trouble for the Beasts Pirates. For all he knew, they might already be fighting by now.
This guy had arrived at far too convenient a time. There was a very high chance he was connected to the Charlotte Family!
Bright could not be bothered to deal with him. "Anyway, could you move aside?"
Kurozumi Orochi had no other virtues, but he could take a beating.
