This was the first time Hiyori had ever witnessed such a massacre. A strong stench of blood assaulted her senses, and her face turned pale. She quickly threw off her specially made wooden clogs and bent over to gag a few times.
After getting rid of her wooden clogs, Hiyori's height dropped to about 1.70 meters, making her look much shorter.
Compared to Hiyori, Kalifa looked much better. She habitually made the motion of pushing up her glasses, but since she wasn't wearing them today, she pushed them directly onto the bridge of her nose, letting out a cute "Eh!" which Ichiraku Senga.
Hiyori slowly straightened up, glanced at Senga with fear on her face, and then turned her head away. She dared not think about recruiting Senga anymore; what had just happened was too terrifying.
Kalifa looked around and found that apart from the three people there, there was no other living person in sight. She looked at Senga and said...
"Boss, where should we go now? To Onigashima?"
Hiyori, who was standing nearby, was startled Hiyori she heard that the two were going to Onigashima. She mustered her courage and asked...
"You two are going to Onigashima? That's Kaido's stronghold. Don't you know Kaido?"
Senga didn't even glance at Hiyori, and said indifferently,
"I know, it's just one of the Four Emperors' teams, nothing to worry about."
It's just one of the Four Emperors' crews...
Hiyori felt her brain wasn't quite working properly. Aren't the Four Emperors the most powerful groups on this sea? How come this man was talking about them like some ordinary civilian organization?
She couldn't help but ask,
"May I ask who you are?"
Senga didn't speak this time. He didn't like Hiyori to begin with, so why should he answer her questions?
Kalifa, however, looked at Senga and said in a proud tone,
"My boss is Marine Vice Admiral, codename Purple Kirin!"
Senga glanced at Kalifa helplessly and said,
"Alright, my name is useless in Wano Country now. We should get down to business."
After saying that, Senga suddenly stretched out her hand in the direction where the Orochi had been thrown away and said...
"Before we get down to business, there's still one piece of trash we need to take care of, Banshō Ten'in."
With a whoosh, countless pebbles were pulled toward Senga by gravity, and among them was a huge figure, none other than Kurozumi Orochi.
Upon seeing the Kurozumi Orochi, Kalifa and Hiyori were both shocked. How did this guy survive such an attack?
*Snap! Kurozumi Orochi was grabbed by the neck by Senga. He stared at Senga in disbelief, not understanding how Senga knew he was still alive.
He knew that he couldn't get away with it by relying on his Devil Fruit ability, but he still had some confidence, which came from Kaido.
Kurozumi Orochi quickly brought out his lifeline, Kaido, and shouted,
"You can't kill me! If you kill me, Kaido won't let you get away with it. I'm the Shogun of Wano Country!"
"Oh? You're one of Kaido's men? Then you deserve to die even more."
Senga unleashed a dazzling purple lightning bolt from his hand, which instantly spread to the entire body of the Kurozumi Orochi. After letting out a miserable scream, the Orochi's Byakugan rolled back in its head.
However, Senga still showed no intention of letting go. He knew that this guy was Ability User of the Mythical Zoan, Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit, and had eight lives.
Sure enough, Kurozumi Orochi regained consciousness shortly afterward. He looked at Senga in fear, thinking to himself,
"What's going on? He knows about my Devil Fruit ability!?"
Before he could think any further, purple lightning flashed again on Senga's hand. Kurozumi Orochi's pupils shrank, and he forcefully broke free from Senga's hand, jumped to an open space, and used his Devil Fruit ability to transform into a monster with eight heads.
Of course, Senga deliberately let him go, just to see the effect of the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit. Otherwise, even ten more Kurozumi Orochi wouldn't be able to break free from his grasp.
Senga examined Kurozumi Orochi's current appearance. His skin had turned green, and he had eight snake-like necks, with the middle one being a darker color.
Looking at the Kurozumi Orochi, Senga shook his head. It was indeed too ugly. It was better not to absorb it. He would keep it for now and wait until he found a suitable person to absorb it.
Thinking of this, Senga's arm became entirely elemental. He raised his arm, and a bolt of purple lightning shot into the sky.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
Five bolts of purple lightning struck the Kurozumi Orochi in succession, and its five green heads closed their eyes one after another, leaving only the last, darker-colored head remaining.
Senga used Banshō Ten'in again to pull Kurozumi Orochi over. This time, she didn't give him any chance to speak and directly used the abilities of the Human Path and Rinnegan Preta Path to pull out Kurozumi Orochi's soul along with his Devil Fruit power.
This time, Kurozumi Orochi was no longer able to be resurrected. His body was carelessly tossed aside by Senga like trash. Kurozumi Orochi, who had only been a general for a few years, died in his own general's mansion.
In Senga's hand now lay a purple, pineapple-shaped Devil Fruit, the very same Devil Fruit that Kurozumi Orochi —a Mythical Zoan fruit that grants its Ability User seven extra lives and enhances their physique.
Senga tossed the fruit aside, then turned to look at Kalifa, wondering if she would be interested in this Mythical Zoan.
Kalifa understood Senga's meaning, but when she thought of the extremely ugly appearance of Kurozumi Orochi after his transformation, she shook her head decisively, her expression filled with undisguised disgust.
Seeing Kalifa's expression, Senga wasn't surprised at all. To be honest, he really didn't want Kalifa to eat this fruit. Just imagining his beautiful little secretary suddenly turning into a monster with eight heads was too much to bear.
However, regarding Mythical Zoan, Senga thought of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit would be very suitable for Kalifa, and he also knew the location of that Devil Fruit. After this trip to Onigashima, he might as well go and get it.
Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit into the Door-Door Space, Senga thought for a moment, then turned to look at Hiyori, who had been standing there dumbfounded for a Hiyori, and asked,
"Hey, do you know how to get to Oden Castle?"
Upon hearing the name Oden, Kozuki Hiyori trembled. That place held painful memories for her. She couldn't help but ask...
"I know, but what are you going there for?"
Senga rolled her eyes, thinking, "I'm going to go there and kill your useless brother. What do you think I'm going to do?"
But it's best not to tell her. Kozuki Hiyori didn't do anything too serious, and telling her would be too cruel.
Thinking of this, Senga said impatiently,
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. All you need to do is tell me the location. I don't want to repeat myself."
Senga's tone sent a shiver down Kozuki Hiyori's spine. She dared not delay any longer and directly told Senga the location of Oden Castle, since it had already become a pile of ruins and nothing was left.
Having obtained the location of Oden Castle, Senga ignored her and, pulling Kalifa, vanished in a flash.
