"Prisoner Mine?"
Zoro, Robin, Luo, and the others were fine upon hearing the name. They had been in Wano Country for some time and knew what sort of place it was.
But it was Luffy and Nami's first time hearing of it.
Still, just from its name, they knew it was no good place.
"It holds everyone who has resisted Kaido. Wano Country possesses a special craft that can process Seastone into weapons against ability users, such as bullets and nails. That is why the mine exists. According to our intelligence, Kawamatsu is there."
Kin'emon of the Foxfire explained in detail.
"Kawamatsu is one of the Nine Red Scabbards and is known as Wano Country's strongest sumo wrestler. If we can gain his help, we'll be like tigers with wings!"
Then, he laid out the plan.
"We need to split into three groups. First, infiltrate the mine and rescue Kawamatsu. Most of the people there are Pirates captured for opposing Kaido. If we can recruit them on the spot, they'll become a powerful force."
"Second, continue searching for the other Nine Red Scabbards. They were all Lord Oden's retainers, and their strength is extraordinary. If we can unite them, our odds of victory will improve."
"Third, continue gathering intelligence and strike directly when the time is right!"
Clearly, during his time lying low in Wano Country, he had put in no small amount of effort. Not only had he gathered remarkably thorough intelligence, but his plans were also meticulously arranged.
Though their situation remained utterly dire, and these few people challenging Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi was no different from smashing eggs against a rock, they at least had a clear path now.
As long as they followed the plan smoothly, defeating Kaido was not impossible.
"The mine? I'll go!"
