If the Mountain Won't Come to Me, I'll Go to the Mountain!

After a brief moment of self-admiration, Kanjuro immediately withdrew the power of the Pen-Pen Fruit.

He is still within Oden's sphere of influence, so it's not the right time to send out the fake man directly.

Kanjuro already had a plan in mind for Orochi's mission.

I'll just go out for a stroll tomorrow, then send a message to Oden saying that I've actually found a survivor in the Akutami family!

Afterwards, he brought back the dummy that was attacking Kaido's base and secretly hid it in Oden's house.

There are some troublesome aspects to this.

That is, Kanjuro's dummy, although it has a certain degree of autonomous action.

However, their combat capabilities were limited, and they could not withstand heavy destruction.

Therefore, he will have to personally carry out the attack on Kaido's base.

He needs to find a secluded spot and eliminate all of Kaido's men afterward to prevent the news from getting out and giving him away.

Just as Kanjuro was outlining his plan to "deceive the real thing,"

Even though he's far away at the small mine, Akutami is preparing to come out of seclusion again!

Mining site.

Looking at the Sky Manipulation, which had become completely dark, Akutami fell into deep doubt.

Logically speaking, the Beasts Pirates are such a large pirate crew.

Surely it's not like we can't make it even after almost a whole day has passed?

What, do they need to go through procedures to send out troops?

Can't I move until the process is complete?

Akutami even wondered if the skinny pirate he had let go had deserted and not returned to the Beasts Pirates.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the Beasts Pirates haven't arrived yet!

And even if the other party escaped, that doesn't make sense.

This mine has been out of contact for so long, haven't the Beasts Pirates received a single piece of news?

"I finally wanted to confront you head-on, but you made me wait this long!"

Akuta angrily flung his hand into the air and shouted.

Blanch!

Since Kaido doesn't want a quick victory with him.

Then the Akuta will engage in a tug-of-war with him!

You're doomed if I don't scratch you!

On the morning of the third day.

Onigashima, the base of the Beasts Pirates.

Jin was sitting in his room, holding a cup of hot tea, enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet.

Yesterday, he displayed a level of intelligence that completely outclassed Big Brother, successfully thwarting the enemy's treacherous plan to lure him away from the mountain, which put him in a very good mood.

However, this good mood didn't last long.

Bang!

The door was violently pushed open, and a pirate stumbled and scrambled in.

"Lord Jin! Something terrible has happened!"

Jin paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup, and the veins on his forehead visibly twitched.

"What's wrong now?"

These past few days, he's heard the phrase "something terrible has happened" so frequently that it makes him instinctively want to punch someone whenever he hears it.

"Our transport convoy has been attacked!"

"What?!"

Jin suddenly stood up, staring incredulously at the pirate who had brought the news.

"What did you say? Which transport team? When did this happen?"

"It's... it's the transport convoy from the north carrying seastone!" The pirate who delivered the message trembled with fear at Jin's imposing presence.

"Yesterday afternoon, the guys at the port noticed the transport convoy hadn't arrived. They sent someone to check and found out the convoy had been wiped out on the way, and even the sea stone they were escorting had been stolen!"

Jin's face instantly turned ashen.

Sea floor stone!

That's one of the Beasts Pirates' most important strategic resources in Wano Country!

Although seastone is a specialty of the pirate world, currently only the artisans of Wano Country possess the technology to process it.

Kaido's interest in Wano Country is largely due to its Seastone.

"Who! Who did this?!"

Ember practically roared as he asked the question.

The pirate who brought the message shrank back and spoke tremblingly.

"It was... done by a guy named Akuta."

Jin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

"Who did you say it was?"

"It's Akuta."

The pirate repeated himself, and also explained his source of information.

"The attacker left his name in white lime on the spot, saying his name was Akuta!"

The pirate, however, continued, somewhat puzzled.

"But what did that attacker write...? Why didn't I go find him while I was in the mine?"

"So you say you hate it when people are late, and you're taking over this transport team as punishment for us?"

Jin didn't quite hear what was said after that.

The image of the skinny pirate from yesterday flashed through his mind.

An absurd idea popped into Jin's mind.

Could it be that everything that skinny pirate said yesterday was true?

A madman named Akutami really did attack the mine.

And he hasn't left yet!

But only Jin knows what he's thinking.

The pirate who brought the message looked at King, who was lost in memories, and cautiously spoke.

"Lord Jin, do you... know this fellow named Akuta?"

King did not answer the pirate's question.

He certainly "knows" her.

Yesterday, he even gave his brother several large sinuses because of this name.

He dismissed every word the skinny pirate uttered as the fabrication of a cowardly deserter.

What kind of user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit?

What's waiting for Lord Kaido at the mine?

The attackers were not from Wano Country.

It's all fake!

But now...

What that skinny pirate said is very likely true; at the very least, it's true that the other party was waiting for him at the mine.

However, based on his analysis, they did not send anyone to the mine to check the situation.

Then this madman turned around and attacked a transport convoy as "punishment"?!

"Lord Jin?" the pirate who brought the message called out cautiously again.

Jin took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

His mind raced as he considered the next course of action.

First and foremost, Big Brother must never find out about this.

My Big Brother is so busy every day, let's not trouble him with this kind of thing.

Just as Jin was lost in thought, another series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

The second pirate who came to deliver the message rushed in, his expression even more terrified than the first.

"Lord Jin!"

"One of our factories has been attacked!"

Jin suddenly raised his head.

"What did you say?! There are experts too!"

The pirate who brought the news said breathlessly:

"The newly built weapons factory to the west was burned down in the middle of the night last night!"

"The attackers also left a message outside the factory, saying, 'What interest is this for wasting my time?'"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Jin stood there, feeling a chill run down his spine!

Interest?

What did that madman take their Beasts Pirates' base for?

A bank?!

A victim whose base he wiped out actually had the nerve to ask him for interest?

Is there no law anymore?!

Is there no law left?!

He's going to the Flower Capital to report to Oden!
