I Have No Interest In Devil Fruit

"Little old man will not admit his mistake! You must be Lord Ryoma! Frost Moon Ryoma!"

The little old man with a turban rushed towards Brook. His tone was excited and shocked, but his expression remained as unwavering as a dead person's.

Frost Moon? Sauron's eyes moved.

Brook repeatedly waved his hands and explained: "I'm not, my name is Brook, and I'm not Mr. Ryoma~ yohohohoho, even though I'm a corpse like Ryoma!"

Sanji blushed, "Don't say such things that will misunderstand him!"

The little old man danced with a straight face and said, "Twenty-two years ago, the Pirate Rebellion broke out in the Wano country. The body of the sword god Ryoma buried in the bell go cemetery was stolen. The whole country is really sad!"

"Look! You have misunderstood!"

"The one that was stolen along with Mr. Ryoma's body was the dragon-slaying saber you held back then—the national treasure of the Wano Kingdom, the black sword Qiushui!" the little old man stared excitedly. Holding the knife at Brook's waist, "It's this one! Unexpectedly, after twenty-two years, Mr. Ryoma, you personally brought back the national treasure..."

"I'm really not Ryoma!" Brook quickly explained, "As you said, Ryoma's body and this autumn water were stolen together - that pirate is called Moonlight Moriah! We fought him and met him In order to become a zombie Ryoma, that’s why I got this sword! That’s all.”

I thought this explanation was clear enough, but the little old man still didn't believe it.

"How is it possible! Master Ryoma, please don't joke..." He said, pulling off his hood.

Luffy and Chopper pointed at each other at the same time, shocked: "Brooke?!"

"Stop playing tricks at this time!" Nami gave the two idiots a slight thunderbolt to wake them up.

Under the cold moon, the little old man took off his hood, revealing a blue afro.

"You are me?!" Brooke was surprised.

boom! Nami punched Brook on the head, and the black afro was smoking.

The little old man had a stern face, but with tears in his eyes, he said earnestly: "I am dissatisfied with you all, the little old man also has the blood of the Frost Moon clan... It is rumored that if a warrior of the Frost Moon clan has an explosive head, he is an unborn swordsman." The posture of Ryoma-sama back then is such an afro!"

What is it! Ace and the others were speechless.

"However, Lord Ryoma thinks that exploding hair is inconvenient, so he wears his hair in a bun all the year round..." the little old man pondered.

So you're just making it up! Usopp suppressed his complaints.

Lynch smiled and said, "Then you are also an unborn swordsman?"

The little old man said with a straight face, lonely: "How can the little old man be worthy of the name of swordsman..."

"There seems to be a story!" Robin looked up at the moon, "There is moonlight, there is wine, do you want to hear it?"

Marko smiled and said, "It's just a matter of learning about the current situation in Wano Country from this local."

...

In this small abandoned village, everyone cleared away the ruins and set up a bonfire.

Leiyun Sol, Mjolnir, Sif, Hela, and Ace's Fire Cloud Roger floated above everyone's heads to shield them from the wind.

Sanji follows Meili into the mirror where Meili's body is preserved, and takes ingredients from the ship Meili stored in the mirror world. Huoyun Susano spit flames towards the firewood pile to support the combustion, roasting the meat soup.

Lynch embraced Robin with open arms, and lay down together on Ymir's white and soft clouds. Usopp imitated everything, and rubbed against his Thunder Cloud Mody. Sauron untied the three knives and set them aside. Ace reached out and fiddled with the firewood in the fire, and Luffy salivated as he smelled the aroma of the broth. Chopper put his head on Mei Li, and they blinked their big eyes at the little old man, who was stroking the autumn water that Brook handed him.

After listening to Sauron, Brook and others' explanations, the old man finally reluctantly accepted the cruel reality. Lord Afro Skull is not Ryoma himself.

But this autumn water is real. The old man drew his sword out of its sheath, and rubbed it lightly on the pitch-black blade with a straight face.

"Speaking of which, I still don't know your name." Sauron folded his arms and said, "You said before that you are also a member of the Frost Moon Clan?"

"I dare not take it." The little old man sighed with a straight face, "You can call me Lao Kang."

It's so strange to speak... Nami and Chopper thought to themselves.

"Isn't he funny?" Luffy turned around and said with a smile, "His face has no expression at all, just like a robot!"

"How interesting is this!" Nami was not doing much, Ace had already flicked Luffy's head with his fingers, and said angrily, "Isn't that rude?"

"It's okay, it's okay," Lao Kang waved his hands with a stern face, "The little old man has been wandering around in Wano country all year round, picking up garbage for a living, and he accidentally ate poisonous fruit by mistake a few days ago, that's why he became a person with facial paralysis... "

Chopper raised his hand and said, "Facial paralysis? Let me take a look for you!"

Lao Kang was about to resign, Usopp smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chopper is a doctor! The best kind!"

"You..." Lao Kang was quite moved, but his face still had that zombie-like expression on his face. He finally sighed, "You are also pirates from the outer seas, right? Listen to the little old man's persuasion, this place is dangerous and full of dangers ..." He looked around, the night was dark, and he smiled wryly, "Twenty years have been spent, and after Ximei and Ling, even Baiwu has become such a barren place. Such a place is really not a place to stay for a long time."

Marco said: "Then why don't you leave?"

Lao Kang said: "Life is the people of the country of Harmony, and death is the ghost of the country of Harmony."

Frankie was in awe. Brooke looked at himself, touched his head and said, "Am I also a ghost of Wano now?"

"Merry is the only one!" "Brooke, you are at best the corpse of Wano Country." "Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed. Meili, who was suddenly caught by CUE, patted her head blankly.

The atmosphere on both sides is completely out of tune. Robin laughed, leaning on Lynch's arm, pillowed on the comfortable Ymir, took a sip of the meat soup from Sanji, tasted it, and gave Lynch a spoonful.

Lu Fei picked up the meat soup and drank it, and didn't listen carefully to the conversation between Lao Kang and everyone.

After eating the hot soup, Lao Kang had complicated emotions and was extremely moved. Unfortunately, after his facial paralysis, he had no tears to cry at all.

He tasted the meat soup carefully and carefully, seeing that these pirates from the sea did not listen to dissuasion, he sighed: "If you want to know anything, just ask."

Ace said: "I want to know where this is, and how to get to the weaving village in Jiuli."

"Have you ever been to Wano Country?" Lao Kang was very surprised.

Sauron said: "I am more interested in the Frost Moon you mentioned."

Brook said: "Mr. Kang mentioned the tomb of Mr. Longma before, right? I wonder if you can tell us the location. I want to take Qiushui to worship."

"If you worship Ryoma, count me in." Sauron added.

"And I want to know more..." Sanji bit his cigarette and looked at the wilderness around him in the middle of the night. "On the way here, I saw many smoking buildings. Are those factories?"

Usopp clapped his palms together, "I only heard that Wano is a closed country of samurai, but I didn't expect there to be so many factories!"

Hearing about the factory, Lao Kang's expression seemed to stiffen a bit.

"Let me explain one by one..." The bonfire was burning, and everyone listened to Lao Kang's eloquence. Roger, a cloud of fire floating above his head, resisted the desire to swallow the fire in one gulp while everyone was not paying attention. Lao Kang drew a rough map of Wano Country on the ground with a branch, and said slowly: "The six villages of Wano Country are Baiwu here, Bell Queen to the north, Nozomi to the west of Bell Queen, and Jiuli to the west. , and the rabbit bowl in the east of Kuri and the west of Baiwu. The center surrounded by the five villages is the capital of flowers where Shogun Wano is located... The weaving village you are looking for is probably on the south coast of Kuri... ..."

Flower City? Robin was a little surprised. It's a coincidence that this has the same name as the capital after the Kingdom of Flowers was renamed.

And Lynch stared at Lao Kang, thinking: Doflamingo died more than ten years ago, and Dressrosa was safe and sound, but the original intention of man-made devil fruit "smile" does not lie in Doflamingo in the final analysis , but in the technology that Caesar stole from Vegapunk. The boy Caesar is still alive, and Kaido also needs to create an army of capable people, so the appearance of the smile fruit in a different form is an inevitable result... This old Kang is not laughing uncontrollably like in the comics, but turned into a zombie The facial paralysis is caused by eating different versions of man-made devil fruit—a failed product?

Luffy never listened to other people's stories. After eating the hot soup, he patted his belly in satisfaction, jumped on Roger's back and fell asleep.

Lao Kang looked at these well-meaning foreigners, and just briefly introduced the situation in Wano Country.

After more than 20 years, due to the excessive taxation of officials, the originally beautiful Wano country gradually withered, Nozomi, Suzugo, Baiwu... more and more villages and towns are deserted, and there are no people living in the ten miles or hundreds of miles...

"He didn't mention Kaido." Robin whispered to Lynch.

Obviously, Lao Kang didn't mention Kaido, or Kaido's puppet, the tyrant general Orochi of Wano, because he was worried that they would go to trouble with Orochi and Kaido out of righteous indignation... In Lao Kang's eyes, these people are all He is a good person with a good heart, and he is just a passerby who meets by chance. Lao Kang didn't want to hurt them because of his words.

Lao Kang marked the location of Jiuli Weaving Li Village for Ace, and marked the location of the northern cemetery behind the bell for Brook and Sauron, and reminded: "It is rumored that there is a monk who specializes in robbery and stealing other people's weapons. If you When you go to worship, you need to be careful."

Sauron smiled and said, "It seems that that guy has a lot of good knives in his hand?"

Lao Kang was speechless, I just want to remind you not to lose your knife! Why do you act like you want to turn around and rob that person...

Lao Kang marked them the location of the capital of flowers. Although he doesn't want these good people to run into that bastard Orochi, but with the reputation of the Flower City, these people will be famous as long as they are in Wano Country sooner or later, so he might as well take the opportunity to remind them that if they go to the Flower City, they must Be careful where you go, and don't expose your identities as foreigners.

"The country is closed to the outside world, and people from overseas are easily recognized." Lao Kang reminded, "If you enter the capital of flowers, you'd better change into the local clothes of Wano..."

"A kimono?" Usopp and the others were quite interested.

Lao Kang deliberately ignored Sanji's question, and mentioned the factories he wanted to inquire about, saying only that they were ordinary places for quarrying and forging knives. Wano country's sword is famous all over the world, and everyone will naturally not doubt its existence.

In the deserted village, the fire, some people fell asleep, some listened to Lao Kang talking about the good old days of Wano Country, and more and more people fell asleep.

Lao Kang didn't take it seriously, staring blankly at the smaller and smaller flames, talking to himself with a straight face.

Suddenly, the bonfire ignited higher with a bang, Lao Kang looked aside, Ace reached into the fire and fiddled with it, and asked casually, "Why didn't you mention Kaido at all?"

"Okay, Ace, don't scare him." Marco said with his eyes closed, leaning on Susano, and changed into a comfortable position.

Ace shrugged, "Okay."

Lao Kang was stunned.

Over there, on the Ymir cloud that looks like a double bed, Robin leaned on Lynch's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Among the past events that Lao Kang talked about scatteredly, I always feel... The shadow of it was intentionally omitted by him..."

Lynch wondered: "You can hear this? It's different for a scholar who likes to organize historical documents..."

Robin patted his chest lightly.

Lynch smiled slightly, and Robin noticed that the figure lingering in the mouth of Lao Kang—the former Baiwu daimyo Shuangyue Kang’s family—was obviously that Guangyue Mitian.

The night is quiet, only the light beeping beeping in the fire is left, and I don't know the whiteness of the east.

In the twilight of the morning sun, Lao Kang took out a piece of paper from his arms. On the crumpled paper are pattern codes that only Wano people can read.

This is a piece of paper that appeared in various villages a month ago.

Like other samurai who are determined to overthrow Orochi and Kaido, and still believe that the Kozuki family will return, Lao Kang also followed the instructions of the code to find the past-but found nothing. The samurai who gathered from all over the place with the same piece of paper did not see the "red sheaths" who inherited the will of the Kozuki family. Instead, they were arrested by the people sent by Orochi and Kaido because of their whereabouts. To prison, to death.

Lao Kang held the piece of paper tightly and sighed heavily in his heart. Nineteen years suddenly seemed like a dream... It's time to wake up from this dream.

...

Sauron opened his eyes, "You always seem to be looking at me secretly, can you know why?"

With a stern face, Lao Kang hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just... Your appearance reminds me of a brother of the same clan. He..."

"What, is that a samurai?" Zoro stood up, stretched himself, and tied three knives.

It was already dawn, and everyone woke up one after another. Luffy rested his head on Huoyun Roger, and his feet hung on Leiyun Myernir, stretched like noodles, and finally fell down with a plop, rubbing his eyes sleepily .

Lynch and Robin sat on Ymir, looking at the rising sun in the distance. The relationship between the two is really good, Zoro smiled, and heard Lao Kang behind sighed with emotion: "That's right. The samurai... Ushimaru used to be the number one swordsman in this country."

"Oh?" Sauron didn't feel sleepy when he heard the number one swordsman.

Chopper looked around, "Where's Sanji?"

Mei Li said: "He said to go to the nearby river to see if there are any local fish that can be used as ingredients for everyone's breakfast."

"No need to eat breakfast!" Ace jumped up, "Let's go to weaving bamboo village now. Or I can go with Marco by ourselves."

"Let's go together?" Usopp suggested.

"By the river?" Lao Kang's face—well, his eyes—had changed drastically, and he hurriedly searched for the nearest river, "No, you must not eat the river water or poisonous fish here..."

"Poisonous fish?" Franky and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

"By the way! I haven't checked you for facial paralysis yet!" Chopper chased after him, "Stop!"

Lynch and Robin jumped off the thunder cloud, "Let's go, there seems to be some excitement ahead."

lively? Nami originally thought that Lynch was talking about Sanji, Lao Kang and Chopper who were chasing after her, but suddenly she heard something in her heart, "Many people... rushed this way!"

"Go and see!" Luffy ran away immediately.

"Don't run around!" Sauron chased after him, not knowing whether there was a pulley under his feet or something, so he turned the corner on the spot.

"You're the one who shouldn't run around!" Franky and Usopp abducted Sauron.

"A bunch of bastards!" Nami raised her forehead to keep up.

"Hehehe..." Robin and Lynch walked behind with a smile. The young people were lively and full of energy.

Not far away, a more energetic person appeared—a few hundred meters in front of Luffy and the others, a few people in kimonos and holding long knives, dripping with blood, were embarrassed and weak towards this side Fleeing, and behind them followed a large group of pirates with neat leather armor and horn decorations.

"A man from Kaido?" Sanji jumped out of nowhere.

Usopp turned his head and asked, "Why is your face so ugly?"

Sanji's face was ashen, with bloodshot eyes, he bit the flue and said, "Because I have encountered the most disgusting thing in my life... Those factories discharge waste water, poisoning the soil, rivers, plants, fish... Those who ruin food I absolutely cannot tolerate this behavior! Hey, Frankie!" He turned his head and said, "Would you like to go and have a look together? Lao Kang just told the truth, those factories are not places for forging knives at all, but black factories for making weapons what."

"Oh? Make weapons?" Franky rubbed his fists with bright eyes, "Then go and see!"

Sanji picked up Usopp and ran away. Before leaving, he shouted: "Luffy, is it okay to leave this place to you?"

"Hee hee." Lu Fei made an OK gesture.

"Why did you bring me!!" Usopp tearfully watched being taken away by Sanji all the way, and together with Franky, formed a team to find those black-hearted factories to settle accounts. Sanji's voice was faintly heard: "Nonsense, Your invisibility ability is more convenient to sneak in..."

On the other side of the crowd, the wounded warriors who were running towards them suddenly changed direction and fled towards the dilapidated wild forest on the side of the road.

Among the chasing crowd, the dinosaur-headed man at the head shouted: "Samurai of Niagasa village, you have nowhere to escape—huh?"

Dinosaur Head suddenly noticed the group of people in the distance. When he saw Marco, Luffy, and Ace in the front, his complexion became more and more gloomy. Suddenly his face turned pale.

Drake? Lynch recognized the kid.
