Chapter 465: The Frost Moon of the Kang Family (Ch 465)

The country of peace.

The General’s Mansion in the Flower City.

After a while, the four of them returned to the courtyard where the Liberty was parked.

Looking outside, at the prosperous Flower City under the moonlight, and thinking of what they had just seen and heard underground, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit dazed.

Time can indeed change a lot.

“Um!”

Walking out of the room, everyone’s eyes turned to the wall on the right behind the Liberty.

He was not looking at the wall, but at a dark shadow squatting on the wall.

“Korata, we saw this guy on the boat when we were spreading newspapers before.”

Kuina stared at the black shadow and said calmly, “I felt there was something wrong with this guy at the time. He was sneaking around on the roof, but I didn’t expect him to follow me here.”

Having said that, Kuina did not take any action.

Although the old man on the wall was somewhat powerful, he was not even qualified to make her draw her sword in front of them.

“Since you are here and have not hidden your whereabouts, I think you have something to talk to me about.”

Staring at Shimotsuki Yasuie, a hint of interest appeared in Kong Tai’s blue pupils. With his intuition and observation Haki, he could of course easily sense that someone was following them.

To be honest, he didn’t know who it was, but because he didn’t sense any malicious intent, he didn’t take it seriously.

Now seeing the familiar attire, he knew who the person was after just a moment’s thought.

Smiling and shaking his head, Kota reached out and pulled off the wine gourd from his waist, uncorked it, and looked up…

In the moonlight, it reflected bright silver, like a glowing wine, flowing slowly along the gourd mouth into Kong Da’s open mouth.

Gulp——!

Putting down the wine gourd, Kota swallowed the wine in his mouth, exhaled the alcohol, and looked at Shimotsuki Yasuie again.

“Don’t you want to ask? Or am I wrong?”

On the wall, a hint of hesitation appeared on Shimotsuki Yasuie’s face, which was covered by a headscarf.

If he didn’t know who Kota and the others were before, he wouldn’t have known even if he met them before today.

But after reading the newspaper and now seeing the real person, he certainly knew who the silver-haired boy below and the blue-haired girl next to him were.

Even though he is young, too young, he is a super strong man who can kill Kaido!

The hesitation was not because of fear, but because now that he had seen the real person, he was afraid that the information in the newspaper was false.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of falling into despair just after seeing hope.

So the hesitation is understandable.

Gritting his teeth, Shimotsuki Kangjia leaned on the wall with both hands and fell inside the wall.

Now that I’m here, how can I not ask for clarification?

Since the newspapers were scattered by the person responsible for the incident himself, and they came here, they must have some purpose.

Regardless of whether this purpose is good or bad for Wano Country, it will not be worse than the current situation ruled by Orochi and Kaido.

Moreover, based on his decades of experience in judging people and the fact that he did not feel any malice towards Kota and the others, he could tell that Kota and the others were not cruel people.

As the distance got closer, when he really saw Kota’s appearance, he couldn’t help but sigh.

“How young!”

Of course, this is just an exclamation.

“Hmm! The smell of blood.”

He had been squatting on the wall for a long time. Because the banquet hall of the general’s mansion was in front of him, he did not go forward and therefore did not know what was happening inside.

He was wondering why the general’s mansion was so quiet today, it was a little too quiet and abnormal.

If it weren’t for the quietness, he wouldn’t have been able to come here so easily.

Now it seems…

Walking out of the shadows, Shimotsuki Yasuie’s entire body appeared under the light.

Being bathed in light meant that, standing here, he could already see what was going on in the room.

so……

“That is…”

Even though he had expected it in his heart, when he actually saw it, his heart still suddenly shrank and his pupils widened to the extreme.

“Well, sir, tell me!” Kota looked at the shocked Shimotsuki Yasuie with interest, and asked with a smile, “Why are you following us all the way?”

“Did you do this?”

Shimotsuki Yasuie didn’t ask anything else, but pointed at the room behind Kota with a slight stutter and asked loudly.

“Yeah!” Kota nodded. “This general called Kurozumi Orochi is so ignorant. We are just here to stay for one night, but he actually, actually…”

At this point, Kota pretended to be scared, patted his chest, and continued with lingering fear: “He actually wanted to kill us.”

“Since you want to kill us, of course we have to resist.”

“I didn’t expect it…” Kota spread his hands helplessly and shrugged. “These guys look scary, but I didn’t expect them to be so weak. I just moved my fingers and they all fell down.”

“It’s not my fault!”

“After all, they were the first to take action.”

As Yasuie Shimotsuki watched Kota’s vivid performance, the tension in his heart slowly disappeared. He knew that Kota was joking, but he did not sense any malice in his words, but rather gentleness.

“Mr. Silver… Silver-haired,” Shimotsuki Yasuie hesitated slightly when facing the deep blue pupils of the sky, but still said, “Is it okay for me to call you that?”

“No problem,” Kota put away the frivolous look on his face and said with a smile, “Tell me what’s the problem. I think the person in the room behind me is the one you want to kill. We don’t have any special purpose for coming here, we just want to see the legendary Wano Country.”

“Although I feel disgusted with the guy behind me, I am still very friendly to the entire Wano Country.”

Looking again at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure with its head and body separated, lying at the innermost part of the room and bringing Wano Country into the abyss, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Shimotsuki Yasuie’s eyes.

In his heart, he has an unshirkable responsibility for the current state of Wano Country.

Because Kurozumi Orochi was his disciple in the beginning, and it was his failure to judge people that allowed this guy to grow to this point.

However, what he didn’t know was that all of this was a conspiracy of the two old guys behind Kurozumi Orochi. Even if there was no such great name as Bai Wu, there would be other great names who would allow this guy to get what he wanted in the end.

Because the Kurozumi Murasaki behind this guy is the user of the Mimicry Fruit and can transform into anyone.

As long as he doesn’t reveal any flaws, I’m afraid no one in Wano Country will be able to see it except Kozuki Oden.

This alone is enough to allow them to do whatever they want in Wano Country.

What’s more, Kozuki Oden always wanted to go to sea and had no intention of taking over the position of general. Later, he followed Whitebeard and left Wano Country.

During this period, even without the previous preparation, this guy could achieve their goal.

Therefore, Shimotsuki Yasuie was not as important as he imagined.

Of course, he didn’t know any of this.

In his eyes, Kurozumi Orochi was his subordinate, and was sent out by Bai Wu. As the first person to come into contact with Kurozumi Orochi, he certainly had an unshirkable responsibility.
