Who Is Chuchu Baby?!

The skinny pirate covered his face, completely at a loss for words to explain.

These days, nobody believes him when he tells the truth!

Akuta is truly a user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit!

Just as the skinny pirate was pondering how to convince King...

Jin suddenly looked at the pirate who was basically unharmed except for some dust.

"The mine was attacked? How come you're the only one who escaped?"

The skinny pirate trembled slightly, then froze on the spot.

He couldn't very well say that he abandoned his comrades and ran away during the battle, could he?

He frantically tried to find reasons for himself.

"This... that... is... is..."

Just as the skinny pirate was wondering how to explain, he suddenly remembered what the Akuta had shouted to him at the end.

His eyes lit up.

"It was the attacker who asked me to tell you that he deliberately let me go!"

Jin frowned.

"Deliver a message? What message?"

Seeing that Jin believed him, the skinny pirate's face lit up with joy, and he quickly spoke up.

"That man said his name is Akuta, and he's waiting for Kaido at the mine... Master, have Lord Kaido take men to find him!"

After he finished speaking, a deathly silence fell over the surroundings.

Jin remained silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on the thin pirate's face.

"You mean... someone attacked us, and instead of running away, they stayed put, directing Lord Kaido to come over?"

"Forehead..."

The skinny pirate opened his mouth.

He had intended to say yes, but Jin's tone sent chills down his spine.

Upon closer reflection, something does seem a bit off.

What sane person would attack the Beasts Pirates' territory and not run away, but stay put and wait for Kaido to personally lead his men over?

Isn't that just courting death?

But... but that's exactly what he heard.

The skinny pirate, sweat beading on his forehead, could only nod reluctantly.

"That's what I heard..."

Snap!

The next moment, Jin slapped him on the other side of his face, sending him flying.

"You're still saying things that insult my intelligence!"

Jin's chest heaved violently.

"What do you take me for? A pointy-headed idiot!"

The skinny pirate covered his swollen face, tears streaming down his face.

"Lord Jin... what I said is true... it's really true..."

Jin took a deep breath and looked at him with a disappointed expression.

"Losing the battle isn't the problem; the problem is that you still haven't realized it!"

The skinny pirate looked up blankly.

Jin, looking utterly pathetic, pointed at him and said angrily, "You're so useless!"

"This fight is clearly an old man toying with a child."

He's been lying to you the whole time!

The skinny pirate was stunned.

Jin's tone was full of certainty, as if he had seen through everything.

"What do you mean, 'stay put and wait for Lord Kaido'?"

"They're clearly messing with us, trying to make us come all this way for nothing!"

"You idiot!"

The skinny pirate opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Logically speaking, Jhin's analysis is flawless.

How could an attacker simply sit still and wait to be caught?

That doesn't make sense!

But a voice of reason within him told him something else.

That guy named Akuta doesn't seem to be playing a trick on people!

His tone was serious, even somewhat expectant.

It was as if he were really waiting for Lord Kaido to come to the mine.

But the skinny pirate dared not say those words again.

He was afraid that if he continued talking, Lord Jin would give him another big sinus.

Ignoring the conflicted look on the skinny pirate's face, King continued to ask:

Who attacked you? Did you see them?

The skinny pirate cautiously raised his head, his voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz:

"He's really not from Wano Country... His name is Akuta, he's an outsider."

Snap!

Jin slapped him away again.

"Who is it?!"

King's patience had clearly run out, and he exposed the skinny pirate in one fell swoop.

"What outsider! You're the one who deserted in the face of battle, completely unaware of what the other side really looked like!"

"The other party is clearly a samurai from Wano Country!"

The skinny pirate got up from the ground, his face so swollen that he was unrecognizable, and he could barely speak.

"Lord Jin... he really is an outsider... the way he speaks, and his clothes, don't seem like those of someone from Wano Country..."

Snap!

His response was another slap from Jhin.

"Who is the attacker?!"

Ember's roar echoed through the encampment.

The skinny pirate finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He knelt down with a thud.

"They are... samurai from Wano Country!"

Jin's raised hand froze in mid-air.

He slowly lowered his arm, and the anger on his face gradually subsided.

"That's right."

Jin nodded in satisfaction, his tone softening slightly.

"It's okay if you don't know, but don't spread false information and deceive people."

"Why are you saying they were outsiders when it was clearly a Wano Country samurai who attacked them?"

The skinny pirate knelt on the ground, tears silently streaming down his swollen cheeks.

"Lord Jin is right... they are samurai from Wano Country..."

Under King's "gentle" persuasion, the skinny pirate finally admitted that he had been lying.

The attacker was not an outsider, but a local samurai from Wano Country.

It wasn't that he didn't insist on the truth; it was just that Lord Jin's slap was too painful.

Seeing that the skinny pirate had finally "figured it out," Jin crossed his arms with satisfaction and began to re-examine the entire sequence of events.

"Since they are samurai from Wano Country, it means my judgment was correct from the beginning."

Jin paced back and forth a few steps, then suddenly stopped and looked at the skinny pirate again.

"By the way, what was that samurai's name again?"

The skinny pirate trembled, fearing another slap was coming his way.

He spoke cautiously, his voice trembling with tears:

"That outsider... the samurai said his name was Akuta."

Jin frowned, repeatedly muttering that name to himself.

"Akuta... Akutami... Akutami..."

Suddenly, a fragment of memory flashed through his mind.

Jin stopped abruptly and blurted out:

"Akutami!"

He turned around abruptly, his eyes gleaming with an all-knowing light.

"I know who he is!"

"When Big Brother first entered Wano Country, he clashed with several local samurai families, one of which was named Akutami!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt his reasoning was airtight.

"This is clearly an abbreviation of ' Akutami '!"

"That attacker must be from the Akutami family!"

"They came for us, for revenge!"

"They were even behind the last mine attack!"

The skinny pirate opened his mouth, feeling that something was amiss.

He had indeed heard of the Akutami.

But he remembered that the Akutami family had long since declined, and now he was just a manga artist, right?

The conflict started because Kaido got drunk and went bungee jumping from the sky, accidentally crashing into someone's house and wiping out their entire crew.

They probably don't have the ability to take revenge on the Beasts Pirates, right?

But just as he was about to speak, the pain on his face interrupted him.

You can't say that, what if you get another big sinus ulcer?

Seeing the skinny pirate's hesitant expression, King assumed he was impressed by his reasoning and nodded in satisfaction.

Having figured everything out, Jin no longer delayed.

"You provided excellent intelligence this time. Take good care of yourself and recover from your injuries here."

"I need to get back to Big Brother immediately and tell him to prepare!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jhin's body began to deform in the flames.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant pteranodon and flew towards Ghost Island.
