Amigasa Village.
Tenguyama Hitetsu's residence.
Kozuki Sukiyaki, disguised as a swordsmith, was also greatly shocked by the sudden changes in the Flower Capital.
However, he did not choose to step forward, but continued to carve beautiful girl dolls here, silently waiting for the day of the prophecy to arrive.
In the quiet of the night, in the basement.
Having just finished carving a beautiful girl doll, Kozuki Sukiyaki, I rubbed my slightly hungry stomach and prepared to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
The moment he opened the wooden door to the basement.
A figure wearing a straw hat and a black trench coat with a red cloud pattern was sitting silently in the living room.
"Who are you?" Kozuki Sukiyaki surprise.
"Just like rotten wood, the day you're waiting for will never come." The Hermit casually patted Kozuki Sukiyaki on the head.
The terrifying corrosive power instantly poured over him, and before Kozuki Sukiyaki could even scream, he was instantly turned into a pool of blood.
"Target cleared."
Vic, who had come to provide temporary support, surfaced from underground. "This guy's weapon crafting skills are decent. He's hidden dozens of Skillful Grade Sword, two ordinary Great Grade Sword, and a Great Grade Sword sword. We also found this Devil Fruit in a nearby canyon."
" The Nidai Kitetsu and the Millet-Millet Fruit?" The Hermit casually picked up the Nidai Kitetsu, completely disregarding the eerie aura emanating from the demonic sword. "If you don't want to be destroyed by me, submit immediately, otherwise..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Corrosion Gas emanating from the Hermit surged, mixed with Armament Haki, and poured into the Nidai Kitetsu.
The Nidai Kitetsu sensed the destructive, Corrosion Gas, and its blade began to vibrate wildly before finally ceasing to vibrate completely.
The Hermit immediately withdrew the Corrosion Gas and then used pure Armament Haki to infuse it. The infusion was very smooth, and he easily touched the core of the sword spirit.
Clearly, the Nidai Kitetsu also backed down.
As Noah's Apostle, the Hermit's character is a fusion of Hanover and Noah. His attitude towards this uncontrollable external force is simple: if it doesn't submit, it will be destroyed.
After acquiring the Nidai Kitetsu, he casually activated a card.
[ Magic Card: Teleportation ]
Instantly Teleportation the Millet-Millet Fruit to the Castle Space.
Bege's Castle Space, as his abilities have been further developed, has expanded into a colossal castle, measuring 3 kilometers by 3 kilometers by 1 kilometer.
At this point, the interior of the Castle Space was divided into various functional areas.
This includes the part where Bege fights the physical giant in the castle, i. e., the battle zone.
There are also material storage area, emergency medical area, escape and reception area, goods receiving area, fruit recycling area, temporary detention area, integrated transportation area, and central control area.
Within these areas, several hundred members of the Noah Family are on duty in shifts.
For example, the Devil Fruit Millet-Millet Fruit that had just been Teleportation was immediately registered by the staff, and their superiors were notified to hand it over to Noah for safekeeping as soon as possible.
Vic manipulated the surrounding rocks, carrying the Hermit down into the ground.
For users of the Rock-Rock Devil Fruit User, the underground is like a dragon entering the sea; aside from avoiding some underground water veins, they can basically move freely.
After leaving the Amigasa Village.
The two quickly moved from the underground of Kuri towards the nearby Ebisu Town.
Two days later.
In a forest northwest of Ebisu Town, the dying Shimotsuki Yasuie was directly dissolved into a pool of blood by Hermit.
Continue to the northern cemetery in Ringo Ward.
Having found the hidden Gyukimaru, Vic and the Hermit didn't waste any words. These special individuals who ate the Human-Human Fruit are usually very stubborn, and unless they are raised from a young age, there is no way to change their minds.
Vic captured Gyukimaru, then used Seastone Handcuffs to seal his abilities before sending him back to the Castle Space to retrieve the Devil Fruit.
On the other side.
Robin and Black Maria have completed the initial phase of their purge of the Flower Capital region, wiping out the underworld gangs and illegal businessmen. As a result, the Udon prison is now overcrowded.
Just then, Robin and Black Maria arrived at the Pleasure Hall District.
The two stopped in front of a room.
A series of cold, desolate shamisen sounds drifted from inside.
Creak! Black Maria pushed open the wooden door.
The girl kneeling inside, upon seeing Black Maria and Robin, said calmly, "Lady Maria, I, Komurasaki, greet you."
"She is indeed a beauty, but unfortunately we are on different sides." Robin smiled as he looked into the girl's large eyes.
Upon hearing this, Kozuki Hiyori's heart tightened suddenly.
Robin's gaze deepened as he muttered to himself, "Can prophecies really come true? It's a pity you won't see it..."
Kozuki Hiyori trembled slightly.
In an instant, Black Maria's spider silk bound Kozuki Hiyori tightly. "Don't be afraid, your sister will let you leave quietly!"
"No..."
Pfft! The venom was injected instantly, Kozuki Hiyori's face began to turn purple before she quickly fell into a coma, dying completely in less than ten seconds.
Robin remained completely calm throughout.
She understood Noah's thinking perfectly: any enemy must be eliminated completely to prevent future troubles.
Being too kind is harmful to both oneself and others.
From the moment the Noah Family took control of Wano Country, it signified an irreconcilable feud with the Kozuki Clan. They had replaced Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi as the "major villain" that the Kozuki Clan had to defeat.
Since we are destined to be enemies, there is no need to show mercy.
Black Maria then ignited the spider silk, Kozuki Hiyori's corpse was instantly set ablaze. Leaving no important enemy with a corpse was one of the Noah Family's rules.
Suddenly Robin's Den Den Mushi rang.
"This is Flower Garden. What brings you here?"
"Sir, we have detected an electrical signal. The two parties communicating are Minamoto Ryuchi, the former Finance Minister of the Flower Capital, and Kamijo Kota from the Hakumai region."
"During the call, Minamoto Ryuchi planned to contact nobles in other regions to select a suitable candidate from the remaining Shimotsuki, Fugetsu, and Uzuki clans and enthrone them as the new Shogun of Wano Country."
"Furthermore, Minamoto Ryuchi plans to bring in the Whitebeard Pirates to fight against our Sky Empire. He plans to send his son, Minamoto Toraji, as an envoy to the Whitebeard Pirates to persuade them."
Robin sneered, "So, seeing our actions, they're starting to act desperately? Continue monitoring."
"Yes."
I hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Robin and Black Maria left the deserted Pleasure Hall District.
Just as the two stepped out of the Pleasure Hall District.
Hundreds of masked warriors emerged from both sides of the street.
"Kill!"
"Avenge the boss!"
"Damn intruders!"
Robin stared blankly at the samurai. "What despicable parasites."
' Flower World: Mandala!'
In an instant, a large number of flowers sprouted from the ground around them, emitting a strong anesthetic toxin.
" Hair Flower - Ten Thousand Snakes!"
The flowers on the ground instantly transformed into countless venomous snakes, which immediately wrapped around the hundreds of warriors.
These warriors, under the combined attack of anesthetic toxins and snakes, were wiped out in an instant, dying tragically on the street.
The spies hidden around them couldn't help but feel a chill run through their bodies.
Soon after, the city defense troops also arrived.
"Lord Flower Garden, I'm so sorry..."
Robin waved his hand. "Alright, they're just some parasites. You guys clean this up."
The company commander breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, sir."
