Chapter 604 The True Identity of the Kang Family (Ch 604)

After Zoro said goodbye to Onimaru, he left Linghou with Chopper and Kin’emon.

More than a decade of wind and snow have completely buried the past of this place, but fortunately, not nothing was gained.

Zoro learned more about the Shimotsuki clan, and Kin’emon also found weapons enough to support a war.

As for Chopper…he barely knows an animal like himself who has eaten a devil fruit?

At least for Zoro, he was quite satisfied with this trip.

However, when he returned to Ebisu Town, he heard bad news.

“Oh no, oh no! Orochi is going to publicly execute Tono Yasushi in the Flower Capital!”

“What is going on? How did Tono Yasushi offend the people in the Shogun’s Mansion?”

“I heard that Tono Yasushi is the ‘Chou Shi San Ke Xiao Monk’. He was the one who stole things from the rich families to support us!”

“What? It’s Tono Yasushi?! He…he…ah…”

There was a crowd of people at the town gate.

The people in the town ran towards the Flower Capital while loudly exchanging information.

After learning of Tono Yasushi’s identity, the crowd sighed deeply.

The impoverished man who couldn’t afford to support his own daughter risked his life to steal life-saving property for the people in the town.

Just think about it and you will know what kind of pressure the man who rushes around every day is carrying behind the scenes.

“Tono Yasushi… that uncle.”

Zoro frowned, and the image of a smiling man automatically appeared in his mind.

Although he didn’t say anything, Tono Yasushi can be regarded as the first man recognized by Zoro in Wano Country.

The guy who made him smile even when life was hard had a profound impact on Zoro.

He had also heard of the name of Choushi Sanke Xiaoseng, but before knowing this guy’s identity, Zoro would not comment on such a guy with a hidden identity.

But after knowing that this person was Tono Yasushi, Zoro had to raise his evaluation of him to a higher level.

If the person who robs the rich to help the poor is a rich person, such behavior can only be considered acceptable.

But if it is someone who is in a situation like Tono Yasushi, there is nothing much to say except admiration.

But at this moment, a cry of surprise rang out again from the crowd.

“What?!! Tono Yasushi is the Lord of Shimotsuki Yasushi? He is our Hakuma Daimyo?!!”

“It’s true. The news has spread all over the Flower Capital. The Great Snake is going to publicly execute Master Kang!!!”

“Master Kang is still alive?! I…I am from Baiwu! How could this be?!”

“No! I have to save Master Kang. He can’t die!”

“I’ll go too. Master Kang has suffered enough for us over the years. I absolutely cannot watch that bastard Da She kill Master Kang!”

…

The crowd roared. This group of guys who looked malnourished suddenly burst out with powerful momentum and rushed towards the Flower City.

What’s weird is that these people, some angry, some sad, and some crying, all have the same smile on their faces.

Such a scene made Chopper feel a little creepy.

But Zoro had no time to think about these things. When he heard that Tono Yasushi was Shimotsuki Yasushi, he stood there in a daze.

Shimotsuki Yasuie, he had heard of this name from Onimaru and Kin’emon before.

He is as famous as the Reigo daimyo Shimotsuki Ushimaru, or even more famous than the Hakumai daimyo.

This was a man who, when Oden was still a playboy and was driven out of the Flower Capital by Sukiyaki, the people of Wano Country even thought that he should inherit the position of Shogun after Sukiyaki’s death.

Zoro was shocked, not because of Tono Yasushi’s powerful identity, but because of what Tono Yasushi had said to him.

——

“Eh? Master is looking for the Shimotsuki clan?”

“He’s dead.”

“They are all dead. The Shimotsuki clan once served the Kozuki clan for generations. They were a group of very remarkable warriors, but now they are all dead.”

——

When he heard that he was looking for the Shimotsuki clan, the man actually danced with joy and said these words with a smile on his face.

What kind of mood was that guy in when he said such words?

Bastard! How dare you lie to me!

Zoro supported Chopper on his head and said, “Let’s go first.”

Then, a powerful aura burst out from his body, and he rushed straight towards the Flower Capital with both legs.

He wants to find that bastard and ask him questions face to face!

Zoro’s aura was filled with murderous intent, and although it was unconscious, it still shocked the crowd.

The flow of people came to an abrupt stop, all suppressed by this momentum and unable to move, and those with weak bodies fell directly to the ground.

No one dared to look up to see who was passing by.

In the hearts of these people, this kind of momentum had only been felt in one person before.

Captain of the Beasts Pirates – Kaido.

The guy who almost destroyed Wano Country single-handedly made the entire country surrender in this way.

At the front of the crowd, a few people looked up in surprise.

“This aura… seems to be from Zoro,” Luo said uncertainly.

“It must be that guy. Awooo! It looks like Zoro is in a bad mood right now!” Franky said while watching the fun.

“Is it because of that Shimotsuki Yasushi family?” Jinbei on the side guessed: “Since coming to Wano Country, Zoro seems to be very interested in the Shimotsuki clan, and he should have had dealings with Tono Yasushi before.”

Luo and Franky nodded, they also thought this was more likely.

Fortunately, they all saw Chopper on Zoro’s head, so they didn’t have to worry about Zoro getting lost.

“Is that murderous man your partner? Quick, stop him.”

At this time, although his body was as conspicuous as a ball, Anin, who was still dressed as a ninja, became a little anxious.

“If he ruins the plan, the sacrifice of Lord Kang will be in vain!”

“It will be even harder to overthrow the snake!”

After learning that Tono Yasushi was to be publicly executed and his true identity, Shinobu and his companions understood his intentions.

He was prepared to sacrifice himself so that everyone’s plan could continue.

No wonder when everyone was discussing it a day ago, Lord Kang reassured everyone with an expression that said there was no need to worry.

Although she felt pain in her heart, Ah Ren also knew that this was the choice made by the Kang family and they could not stop it…

But it was obvious that the swordsman, who was filled with murderous intent, was about to go over and disrupt the situation. How could she just stand by and watch?

So at this moment, she quickly explained the pros and cons to Luo and the others.

In response to Ninja’s words, Franky and the other two nodded seriously at first, and then… nothing happened.

Stop Zoro?

Stop joking. Not to mention whether they can stop it or not, they have no reason to stop it at all.

Zoro is their partner.

The Straw Hat Pirates will only support their partners in whatever they want to do, without any reasons.

Besides, what Ninja said about disrupting the plan…

What does it mean to the Straw Hat Pirates today?

They can handle anything!
