Walker. Lot, the old man of the Celestial Snake Clan, is the oldest and oldest of the three Nine Families who set off for Wano Country this time.

He is now 143 years old.

Even though he was dying.

But no one dared to underestimate this old man.

A god-level ability in the early stage of the ninth order, a complete [rule] master, and a rare existence in the entire world.

When the old man was young, no matter where he went, he would become a real mainstay of countless people kneeling and awe, even if he was placed in the unfathomable behemoth of the Nine Great Families, which lasted for thousands of years.

That's right, today's old people are in their last years, and their strength may have declined.

Even if you can't go to the next level in the early stage of the ninth order, I'm afraid you won't have a few years to live.

But this trip to the country of Wano, the existence of the Sky Tree [Boundary Gate] is a gorgeous transformation and turning point in life for this old man.

However, compared with the two faces and tall postures of the companions this time, they looked like old men in their fifties and sixties at most.

Walker, the old man of the Celestial Snake Clan, was full of wrinkles under his neatly combed silver hair, and each wrinkle was written with spring, summer, autumn and winter, and his body was unconsciously rickety when he walked, as if he was full of old age at dusk.

In fact, the reason why this is so is because he is too "greedy".

For example, at this moment, Wano Country is in a hotel specially prepared for them to stay.

Old man Walker was dressed in a white bathrobe, his face was red, his eyes were full of enjoyment and sinking, and he held a transparent goblet in his hand, which was filled with a liquid stained with burgundy plasma.

He tilted his head and took a sip, savoring the mellow taste of the blood plasma—one of the few treasures he had brought from his private collection in Shangjing's cold storage.

Drink one less drink.

As for why not "take local materials", I am really used to drinking the carefully raised treasures of Abraham's manor farm, and then look at those in other places.... It's hard to catch.

It must be said that Walker is the one with the greatest demand for plasma among the elderly.

Because of him alone, Abraham's estate had to be "replenished" from the outside every week.

Walker has been reminded that regular "eating" is the long-term way, and excessive "overeating" will only destroy the balance of body functions, and form an irreplaceable dependence on it.

Walker understands these truths.

However, he was born in the Heavenly Snake Clan, and he seemed to be unable to resist these delicious and tempting things.

I also regretted it afterwards,

The next time everything was still the same, but it also made his personality more and more distorted and violent.

......

Knock knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Coming in was a guard from the guardhouse of the Prime Minister's Office, carrying an antique boxy box.

A young girl at the front desk of the hotel followed the guard, and when she entered the room, she looked up and looked around from the corner of her eye, and quickly withdrew her gaze.

After entering the door, the black-clad guard stood respectfully in front of the old man Walker, and placed the boxy box in his hand on the coffee table near the floor-to-ceiling window.

Pressing the hidden button, the box opened, and an inch of sharp light instantly refracted onto Walker's face.

The old man Walker smiled and took a closer look, turned his head to look at the densely patterned fast knife lying in the box, and said softly, "Is this what your prime minister calls a thank you gift?" ”

The black-clothed guard knew what kind of esteemed existence the old man in front of him was, and although he heard the banter in the other party's tone, his face still respectfully glanced at the young girl next to him.

The young girl hurriedly stepped forward, her tone a little nervous at first, but her good professionalism calmed her down quickly, and her voice explained in a crisp voice the origin and name of one of the twelve craftsmen of Kyoto's supreme sword.

The Lion King.

The famous knife forged by the famous craftsman of Kyoto, the hand-smelted iron of the heavenly and human meteors, has a slender blade, a prominent waist, a "fuxin" at the tip of the knife, and a pattern of "lion's roar under the moon" printed under the sword.

However, at this moment, the old man Walker's eyes were quickly attracted by the black paint on the handle, scabbard and metal parts of this big fast knife, and his face gradually showed a look of interest.

That's not "black" in the ordinary sense.

It was more like a demonic blade drawn from the abyss, and if you looked closely, you could even see the black gas that was slowly overflowing from the scabbard.

"This is..."

The black-clothed guard nodded, and although he didn't understand the meaning of the word, he said solemnly, "As you can see, this is a 'magic tool'!" ”

Hearing the word 'magic equipment', the wrinkles on the old man's face suddenly bloomed like wild chrysanthemums, revealing a very hearty smile.

He walked over softly and drew his knife, and in an instant, it was as if a breach had been opened in the embankment.

An endless stream of black qi instantly spread out like a tide, and the air around it peeled off and twisted.

The young girl who was standing on the side to explain was suddenly dumbfounded, almost subconsciously took a step back, and stared at the blade in the old man's hand with a frightened face, as if he had escaped from a cage.

Her prior understanding of this "magic tool" Lion King was limited to the owner of the family who obtained it from the Momomiya Dojo in Kyoto, and after falling into the hands of the Judicial Division, it was transferred to the Metropolitan Police Department, and finally appeared in front of the old man in front of her.

I thought it was just a big fast knife, but I didn't expect to see such a strange scene at all.

It's as if the sword in front of me suddenly came to life, and you can even hear a vigorous and powerful heartbeat in your ears, as well as an urgent thirst for blood, as if you want to choose someone to devour...... The idea immediately startled the young girl herself!

No way!

When pigs fly!

How can a sword come back to life?

.....

"Hmm... Not bad... It's really nice..."

At this time, the old man Walker gently stroked the sword, and his face showed a very cherished expression, as if he was stroking something extremely kind, and muttered to himself, "You are very close to me, and you are also the same as me, are you very eager for fresh blood..."

The black-clothed guard was a little awe-inspiring when he saw the old man's affectionate appearance, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

As the prime minister's personal bodyguard, he certainly knew that the old man in front of him with a high status from Shangjing was the grand finale of the dinner at the Prime Minister's official residence tonight.

It is also a "shot in the arm" prepared by the Prime Minister for those chaebols and families from Wano Country tonight.

Now that the old man is satisfied, it means that tonight's affairs will at least not be messed up.

It's just that the eyes of this old man with turquoise vertical pupils are as cloudy as dead fish eyes, which are too weird, and the black-clothed guard immediately bowed respectfully when he saw that he didn't have anything to do with himself this time:

"The Prime Minister must be very happy that you will like the gifts we have prepared, and tonight's banquet awaits you, and I am sure that you will be satisfied after the dinner."

After speaking, the black-clothed guard glanced at the young girl at the front desk of the hotel next to her, who was a little frightened by the strange scene in front of her.

The young girl, who was at a loss for what to do, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned, quickly tied her hands in front of her, bowed respectfully, lowered her head and trotted quickly towards the black-clothed guard.

Unexpectedly, the two turned around and just walked to the door of the suite, when the old man behind them said lightly, but the young girl with lingering palpitations on her face suddenly fell into an ice cave!

"You go,

She stayed. ”

The young girl's body froze in place, her back to the old man, not daring to make any sound at all.

He just bit his thin lips and looked at the guards in the Prime Minister's guardhouse with pleading.

She didn't speak.

But those misty eyes clearly said three words.

Help me!

The young girl felt the danger.

It's not a danger in the ordinary sense, it's a danger to your life that you are afraid of "predators".

The black-clothed guard was also stunned for a moment!

As the person in the guard room next to the prime minister, this man in his thirties was only tasked with delivering this gift to the big man who came to Uekyo this afternoon.

He doesn't need to worry about anything else.

He couldn't handle it.

But the young girl at the front desk of the hotel in front of him, from the first time he met, he felt very much like his sister from his hometown in Kagoshima, and his eyes were crooked like a crescent moon when he smiled.

There is only one elevator in the Tianren Hotel to go directly to the top suite, and when he got on the elevator, the girl who laughed was still friendly to help him block the elevator after completing the complicated registration procedures at the front desk, otherwise he might have missed the appointed time to visit.

But now...

The man in the Prime Minister's guardhouse has a deep sense of powerlessness and frustration welling up in his heart...

In the face of the cry for help from this young girl who had just helped my own laughter, he tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to say something...

But in the end, nothing was said.

You can't even turn your head around.

Just silently took heavy steps, and the moment he walked out of the door, he ruthlessly avoided the other party's gaze in the desperate eyes of the girl behind him, and closed the door of the penthouse suite......

This damn world!

A wave of impotent anger welled up in the man's heart!

......

In the suite, the old man Walker's leisurely gaze fell on the slightly trembling body and white pink neck of the young girl with her back to her.

In his eyes, what was bubbling in the slightly convex veins of his neck was not any blood, but the fleeting youth that made people feel cherished.

Not... The inventory brought in by the cold storage is running out, and it's time to replenish some fresh nutrients.

"You're also eager to... Isn't it? ”

The old man Walker looked down at the [Lion King] he had just gotten in his hand, and said with a gentle stroke, but he remembered today's dinner in his mind.

"Then let's enjoy the pre-dinner appetizer dessert."

For the elderly, Wano Country is dead or alive, to what extent the economy has collapsed and regressed, and the Prime Minister wants to use him to stabilize people's hearts...

He didn't care.

All he cares about is tonight's "inspection".

If the quality can reach half the level of the farm in Abraham Manor, then when the Sky Tree [Boundary Gate] opens again, the three of them will be able to enjoy the aftertaste before leaving...

......

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Under the gray sky,

The white residence of the Prime Minister, which is regularly painted once a month, looks particularly plain and solemn surrounded by a green lawn, full of solemnity and solemnity of power.

It is said that the designer of the official residence of the Prime Minister of Wano Cabinet was invited from the United States of Tagos to design the presidential residence of Tagos, and the official residence of the Prime Minister of Wano Country is now in the style of the official residence of the President of Tagos.

In order to protect the safety of the person who holds the highest power in Wano Country, the Prime Minister's official residence is empty, and the height of even the scattered buildings in a slightly remote area is strictly limited.

Dressed in a well-tailored waiter's suit, Higashinohara boarded a black business car from the White Eagle Company in front of a hotel five kilometers away from the Prime Minister's residence.

White Eagle Company.

For decades, we have been focusing on outsourcing services for the National Assembly building, the Prime Minister's Residence, and other official banquets in Wano Country.

No other commercial activities are accepted.

Because it is professional, it is reassuring.

After all, it is impossible for a political center such as the Prime Minister's Office to maintain a group of waiters and waiters, and it is naturally better to have a professional and reliable outsourcing company.

Higashinohara's identity today is that the White Eagle Company temporarily replaced a dinner party "temporary worker" because of the shortage of employees caused by some vicious events that have occurred in the downtown area of New Tokyo in recent days.

When he signed up for the interview, he used a fake identity that Satoru Aragaki helped him forge when he used to do private work for the Aragaki Detective Agency, so today his name is "Tatsumi Sakata", a dream-chasing boy from Osaka Prefecture.

After about ten minutes of riding through seven or eight traffic lights along the way, Higashinohara and his party came to the border of the Prime Minister's Office and stopped at a fountain on a green grass.

Directly opposite walked a group of people in the Prime Minister's Guardhouse dressed in black, with headphones pinned to their ears, and their faces were serious and there was no superfluous emotion.

Pushing professional instruments, he came over to carry out the final security check for Higashinohara and others and reminded them of some matters that need to be paid attention to during today's dinner.

Listening to the words in his ear, Higashinohara has a wealth of experience in part-time work, which has been highly praised by employers and even praised him as the "emperor of part-time work", and he is no stranger to all this in front of him.

Even because of the excellent appearance conditions, the deputy captain of the guard room who came to inspect felt that the quality of today's outsourced waiters seemed to be a notch higher than usual, and his heart became more and more satisfied.

......

Of course, the dinner party doesn't start until the evening.

In fact, at any banquet, guests will weigh their identity and role in the banquet to decide when they should enter the venue.

While Higashinohara and the others were standing by the fountain on the periphery of the cyan lawn and receiving security checks and training in the guardhouse, from time to time cars that recognized or did not recognize the license plates passed by them and drove straight towards the white official residence.

The fact that these bigwigs were able to drive their cars here already speaks for themselves, and it is clear that there is no need to come back to the Prime Minister's Guardhouse.

The few waiters standing next to Higashinohara are all eye-to-nose and heart-to-heart, with good professionalism.

It was only when the car passed by them and drove towards the white mansion that everyone secretly glanced at the back windows of those cars out of the corner of their eyes, secretly wondering how noble the person sitting in the car was, and a kind of pride in their hearts was born.

Even if it is a waiter, to put it bluntly, the waiter at the dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion is not made by anyone.

After a while, the security check and short pre-dinner training on Higashinohara's side ended.

The group got into the car in silence and drove towards the Prime Minister's Office again.

In the back seat of the car, Higashinohara looked sideways slightly, looking at the white mansion in front of him that was getting closer and closer in the field of vision, his eyes couldn't help but squint slightly, and a strange feeling arose in his heart inexplicably.

For any ordinary person in Wano Country, even in the hearts of Higashinohara's parents and naughty sister in this life...

This white mansion, which was condensed by the will of countless people in Wano Country and symbolizes the concentration of supreme power in Wano Country, is sacred and inviolable.

But then he thought about what he was going to do today...

Risking the world's condemnation?

Higashinohara smiled silently, thinking that the matter should not be so serious, and lowered his head slightly.

He just wanted to kill tonight.

Kill all who deserve to be killed!
