"Kinemon, Kanjuro, Raizo, Koju..."

Looking at a group of old acquaintances who had been "buried in the ground" twenty years ago, Jiutenmaru's face was as ugly as a ghost.

And next to these four old colleagues, whose appearance and age are the same as those of twenty years ago, there is also an eight-year-old ghost.

Sakutenmaru could recognize him as Momonosuke, the son of Mitsuki Mita, but he hadn't grown up at all after twenty years.

"This..."

Seeing such a strange scene, Jiutenmaru even left behind the matter of his commutation, and just muttered to himself:

"Is that legend true?"

"The undead of the Guangyue family, really back?"

Twenty years ago, before her death, Mrs. Shi had left a prophetic song claiming that Kaido would be defeated by nine samurai twenty years later.

And after Ota Castle was burned down that year, the Hundred Beast Pirates did not find the bodies of Momonosuke, Kinemon and others in the city, as if they had disappeared out of thin air from the impermeable encirclement.

Prophecy combined with miracles creates a mystical legend.

Despite the efforts of the Beast Pirates to control public opinion, a terrifying legend has spread among the few who know about it:

One day in the year 1522 of the Haiyuan calendar, the missing spirits of the Guangyue clan will reappear in the world to defeat Kaido and take revenge.

Sakutenmaru originally believed in this legend, because Mrs. Shi was originally a woman with mysterious powers.

However, later Sakutenmaru didn't believe it.

Because Kaido had already died in the sea in 1519, and in 1522, Wano Country had already made great strides into a well-off society, who still believed in the legend of Shinto?

But now, the "undead of the Guangyue clan" is really here.

"Undead?"

"No, no, no..."

Kinemon hurriedly shook his head and explained carefully:

"We are time-travelers who were sent twenty years later by Mrs. Shi with the power of the fruit of time, not some undead."

"Traverser?"

Jiutenmaru was slightly stunned, but he quickly accepted this somewhat outrageous setting.

Because he was also a close minister of Guangyue Yutian at that time, he naturally knew something about the mysterious Mrs. Shi, and vaguely knew that she herself was a strange person who traveled through time from ancient times.

"Wait..."

After Sakutenmaru figured out the origin of Kinemon and the others, he immediately had doubts about their intentions:

"So what are you doing now?"

He finally remembered his embarrassing situation, and couldn't help but ask angrily:

"I'm doing a good job here, what are you doing here?"

"Huh?"

Kinemon's face froze, and he asked in a daze:

"We are here to save you from the sea of suffering, how can we say that we are making trouble?"

"Help me?!"

Sakutenmaru looked at the guards who had fallen to the ground, and felt annoyed in his heart.

He was originally the leader of the bandits who was subdued by Mita, and when he was a retainer in the Guangyue clan, he only served Ota, and his relationship with Kinemon and others was not very good.

Now seeing Kinemon and others behaving so recklessly, Jiutenmaru couldn't help but reprimand in a deep voice:

"Do I need you to save me?"

"If you want to cut someone, you can cut someone? Don't look at what era it is! ”

"The current Wano Country is no longer a place where you old samurai can make trouble!"

"Get out!"

"I'm not interested in messing around with you!"

"What?"

The faces of the four of Kinemon changed one after another, and Momonosuke was even more shocked by the powerful aura of Sakutenmaru.

"Sakutenmaru!"

Hearing Sakutenmaru's such merciless words, Kinemon couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache:

"Are you just succumbing to the status quo?"

He pointed to Momonosuke's face, which didn't look like a human lord no matter how he looked, and said to Jiutenmaru seriously:

"Although Mita-sama is dead, his bloodline still remains."

"Now that the head of the Kotsuki clan, Lord Momonosuke, is here, how can you, as a retainer of the Kotsuki clan..."

"Hehe..."

Without waiting for Kinemon to finish speaking, Jiutenmaru smiled coldly:

"Retainers? I never said I was a retainer of the Guangyue clan! ”

"The only one who makes me loyal is Mita-sama."

"What convinced me and determined to achieve it was only Mita-sama's beliefs."

"Now that Mita-sama is no longer here, and his ambition has been realized, why should I follow you to mess around anymore?"

As he spoke, Satenmaru glanced at Momonosuke disdainfully.

"Just this lascivious child who will only nurse in the arms of a woman and ruin the family style of the Guangyue family?"

"He doesn't deserve to be the master of my Jiutenmaru!"

What kind of virtue is Momonosuke, how can he, a close minister of Mita, not know?

It is said that the tiger father has no dogs, but compared to Mitsuki Mita, who can talk and laugh with Whitebeard and Roger, this Momonosuke is like the seed of the old Kameda next door.

If Kaido hadn't come early and hadn't let Momonosuke grow up on his young master throne again, maybe this kid would have been able to mix up the nickname of "Nine Mile Silver Gun Little Overlord" and make some "My dad is Mita" cheat deeds.

"You!"

Kinemon was choked and speechless, and Momonosuke's face became extremely ugly.

After holding it back for a long time, Kinemon blushed and accused Jiutenmaru of saying:

"Momonosuke-sama is the purest bloodline of the Mitsuki clan, how can you, how can you be so disrespectful to him?"

"Huh!"

Jiutenmaru scoffed at the feudal and backward bloodline theory of Kinemon, and didn't even bother to refute it, but just shouted coldly:

"I'll say it again, get out!"

"Don't bother me to build Demacianism."

Kinemon was so angry that his blood was spurting and his muscles were violent, and he could only scold bitterly:

"I'm waiting for the risk to come to the rescue, but you are still content with the status quo, and you are only willing to be a dog for Kaido!"

"Good! Let's go! ”

"The revenge of the lord, we will avenge it ourselves!"

With that, Kinemon pulled Momonosuke, who was scolded by Sakutenmaru, and angrily wanted to leave the place.

"Wait..."

Jiutenmaru stopped them out loud, and asked in a bit of a daze:

"You... Think I'm working for Kaido right now? ”

"Also... And to avenge the Lord? ”

"What's wrong?"

Kinemon stopped and asked indignantly:

"You are willing to fall and are unwilling to make a move, do you want us loyal ministers to submit to the Hundred Beast Pirates?"

"Hmm..."

Sakutenmaru was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

"That..."

He was silent for a moment before he asked with a strange expression:

"After you arrived at this era, didn't you ask someone about the situation?"

"We're looking for that, too."

Kinemon didn't have anything else in mind, but replied directly:

"But as soon as we landed in Ota Castle, we were besieged by Kaido's minions."

"The thief chased after him too closely, and he used a strange means of telecommunication to issue a wanted notice for the whole city, so that we ran all the way and didn't have time to learn more."

"Originally, we were going to ask you about the situation..."

As he spoke, Kinemon himself vaguely felt that something was wrong.

On the other hand, the three of them, Raizou, Xiaoju, and Kanjuro, had already noticed the strange expression of Jiutenmaru, and suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

“......”

Jiutenmaru was silent for a while, and then asked a little helplessly:

"That is to say..."

"How many of you are the terrorists on the radio who slashed construction workers at the construction site of Yutian Castle and attacked state officials in Jiuli?"

"That's right..."

Jiutenmaru paused slightly, looked at the guards who had fallen to the ground so far, and said:

"Now we have to add one more charge of robbery."

"Slashing a construction worker?"

Kinemon was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't react a little:

"Aren't those people the samurai under the Black Charcoal Orpentine?"

"The black charcoal snake died more than two years ago."

Jiutenmaru helplessly supported his forehead, and added:

"Still dying with Kaido."

As soon as these words came out, the air suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

"That, that..."

Kinemon became a little stammering: "Then whose men did we cut before?" ”

"Don't worry about it so much..."

Jiutenmaru sighed deeply, and said meaningfully:

"In that case, you don't have to go."

"Huh?"

Kinemon was a little puzzled, but Jiutenmaru's incomparably strong body suddenly moved, and he and Momonosuke were firmly grasped in his hands one by one.

"Y-What are you doing?"

Looking at Jiutenmaru, who suddenly attacked the friendly army, Raizang, Kanjuro, and Xiaoju suddenly panicked.

Jiutenmaru's strength is far above a few of them, and even if he has shackles on his body, he can easily take them down.

"Ugh..."

Jiutenmaru sighed and said seriously:

"Don't get excited, I'm doing it for your own good."

"You'll know later, there's no good going for going against the Alliance."

"It's better to go in early, explain things clearly to the leaders of the alliance, and get leniency."

"Besides..."

"You should do me once..."

Jiutenmaru naturally had a fat face with a fierce appearance, and suddenly gave birth to a look of shame very disobediently:

"If I catch you terrorists, I will probably be given a first-class credit."

"Send you in, and I'll come out."

...................................................

Nine Mile City, police interrogation room.

The eight characters of "leniency in confession and strictness in resistance" are prominently pasted on the wall, and the cold wind of the night blows outside the narrow iron window.

The blinding light struck Momonosuke straight in the face, and the faces of the two interrogators were as cold as ice that would never melt.

Momonosuke panicked.

At this moment, Momonosuke was betrayed by his family's former retainers, and was forcibly taken away from Kinemon and others, and sent into this interrogation room alone.

He is a carefree aristocratic young master, where has he experienced such a thing?

Just a few days ago, Momonosuke was still enjoying life in the arms of a beautiful maid in the arms of a beautiful maid in the tall castle of Ota Castle.

But in just a few days, he went from the future successor of Wano Country to a down-and-out prince of the dead prince, and from the prince of the dead prince to a terrorist who was beaten by everyone, all the way into such a lonely and helpless situation.

"Boy, we'll tell you clearly."

As soon as it opened, the interrogators mercilessly gave Momonosuke a dismissal:

"Carrying out terrorist attacks, attacking public officials, causing mass casualties among the people and League cadres..."

"Ten shots are enough for your crimes."

"I advise you to cooperate well now, strive for leniency, and maybe you can save your life."

After saying this, Momonosuke was immediately scared silly.

"I—I don't want to die!"

Momonosuke said with tears in his eyes.

"If you don't want to die, answer the question well!"

The interrogators' voices were as cold as their faces:

"Name?"

"Light, light moon Momonosuke."

Momonosuke replied tremblingly.

"Light Moon..."

The two inquisitors frowned, realizing that things were not simple:

"Is it the Kogetsu clan who ruled the country of Wano in the past?"

"That's right."

Momonosuke nodded like pounded garlic.

"A descendant of the Wano Country Shogun?"

The faces of the two inquisitors became more and more gloomy, and one of them slapped the table heavily:

"Then you are carrying out terrorist attacks here, are you planning to carry out armed restoration and subvert the rule of the alliance?!"

"No, no, no..."

Momonosuke hurriedly shook his head.

If you can really carry out armed restoration, Momonosuke naturally wants to do it.

After all, who wouldn't want to continue to be a noble young master if they could?

But times have changed.

Jiu Tianmaru still had some affection before, at least before sending them to the official, he explained the basic situation of this era clearly.

So, Momonosuke knew what he had done, and he knew what he had to say.

Without waiting for the inquisitor to continue to ask questions, Momonosuke told the whole story by himself like pouring beans:

"I'm actually the son of Mitsuki Mita, the same Momonosuke who built a tomb in Mita Castle."

"Twenty years ago, when the Hundred Beast Pirates burned down Ota Castle, my mother sent me and my retainers to the future twenty years later, which is now."

"We're not going to carry out a terrorist attack, but..."

"Stop, stop!"

The two inquisitors were stunned for a while, and hurriedly stopped Momonosuke.

They glared at each other and read the message Momonosuke had uttered word by word:

"You mean..."

"You're actually the same Momonosuke from twenty years ago, but instead of dying in the fire, you've traveled to the present?"

"Yes."

Momonosuke nodded earnestly.

"This kid..."

The two inquisitors looked at each other, and their faces became more and more strange:

"It can't be mentally ill, right?"

Then, one of the inquisitors took a special look at Momonosuke's cowardice, and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's still a kid..."

"Why did you make this mistake?"

The inquisitor's words were completely in Momonosuke's ears.

He had been frightened by the word "shot" before, and when he heard that the interrogator did not believe his rhetoric at all, he was even more nervous and almost suffocated.

And now, Momonosuke heard some key words that could be used in the words of the inquisitor, and immediately grasped them as a lifesaver:

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"I'm still a kid! And、And... I'm not in a good head! ”

"I didn't do any of those things on purpose."

Minors plus mental illness, the two magic weapons offered by Momonosuke are really useful.

Both inquisitors were touched.

"An eight-year-old child has mental problems at a young age."

"This..."

One of the inquisitors said with emotion:

"If you leave this alone, will you have to grow up?"

"yes!"

Another inquisitor immediately chimed in:

"This kid can lead people to carry out terrorist attacks at the age of eight, which is almost the same as that thirteen-year-old demon Rob Luqi who killed five hundred people!"

"And his brain is not good, and it is estimated that he will not be able to save him by transforming his studies."

"Or..."

They glanced at each other and did not shy away from exchanging their opinions:

"Just shoot it, right?"
