The flowing bands of light in the starry sky are an incomparably magnificent cosmic spectacle.

However, at this moment, when the people in the Sky Tree Square saw such a magnificent scene reproduced in front of them, under the colorful fireworks in the sky, the expressions on people's faces did not have the idea of appreciating this landscape, nor did they think that this was a natural formation.

In this world full of powerful people, the people under the Sky Tree saw this paradoxical scene, and their minds couldn't help but think of some news that was circulating in the "Bloody Night of the Sky Tree" two months ago, and then an irrepressible fear of the unknown surged in their hearts.

As if to confirm their conjectures.

At this time, those people wearing Metropolitan Police Department uniforms around the Sky Tree Square began to organize the orderly evacuation of people close to the entrances of the three squares, and the hearts of the people in the square suddenly sank when they saw this.

Something really happened!

Under different scenes and moods, the fireworks that were full of expectations for peace and prosperity just now were shining above people's heads like "death omens", and the people gathered in the square panicked like ants on a hot pot.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I don't know!"

"Did you just receive a municipal text message on your phone? Say let's get out of here. ”

"Evacuate quickly? He was the one who let us come, and now he is the one who let us evacuate, and those bastards above don't take our lives seriously at all. ”

"What now? When will so many people be evacuated? ”

"No matter! I'm going first! I still have children. ”

“......”

It is difficult for human nature to stand the test in the face of life and death.

Once the panic spread, even before it was clear what was going on, the people under the Sky Tree had already begun to stir and panic.

"Zizi Zizi ——!"

Without warning, a piercing sound of electricity suddenly came from the radio in the three squares of the Sky Tree.

The volume pulled to the maximum penetration of the electric sound of the disaster evacuation loudspeaker instantly made the restless crowd under the dark clouds unconsciously hold their heads and cover their ears!

When the sound of electricity finally ended, everyone looked at each other with their heads in their hands, and they all saw the dazedness in each other's eyes and the doubt that had not yet dissipated!

At this time, a gentle man's voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker radio in the three squares of the Sky Tree, and it sounded like it had a soothing magical effect.

"Good evening everyone, don't be nervous, you are not in any danger."

At this voice, the team in charge of the SAT who maintained law and order at the scene was stunned, turned his head to the team members on the side and said, "This voice, I don't sound familiar to me." ”

The team member next to him also looked up at the sky tree not far away with some blankness, and said with some uncertainty, "Sounds like... It seems to be a bit of the voice of the Kimura team leader. ”

"Which Kimura leader..."The captain of the SAT was about to say this, but the words suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he suddenly realized in his mind that he had said something stupid.

In the past two months, the person who can be called "Kimura Team Leader" is naturally the new leader of the Third Investigation Group, Kimura Shiraku, who was born in a chaebol family and relied on his family's financial resources to hire hunters to maintain law and order in New Tokyo a while ago.

It's just weird.

Team leader Kimura has been on a business trip for almost a week.

How did you suddenly appear here?

His heart was full of puzzlement, but the warm and soft voice of Kimura Baituo on the radio continued to come, which made people's hearts inexplicably calm.

"Although you are not in danger, just now, I saw your panic, can someone tell me, what are you panicking about?"

"Actually, I can guess it without saying it, ability."

"It's a panic about ability, ability represents power, the power to kill others, just like politicians and chaebols are to ordinary people, just like heaven and man are to everyone."

"But everything shouldn't be like this, the world has been dead for a thousand years, and people's silence for a thousand years has made this world more like hell than hell."

"No one is born in the heavens, even if they are celestials, and the so-called celestials are not as noble and sacred as we imagine, they are also greedy and stupid, they create oppression and fear, they are afraid of resistance, their voices are everywhere in the air, they want to prove that they have the right to speak in this era, but it just exposes their fear of old age and infirmity..."

At this moment, the live broadcast signal of the Sky Tree is broadcast in a very short time through various live broadcasts, and it is presented in front of people of different identities, statuses and races all over the world in the Cross Continent.

In the face of Kimura Hakutaku's voice under the new Tokyo Sky Tree, some people listened to it silently, some people listened to angry and vicious words, and some people only felt childish and ridiculous when they heard it... Everyone's face showed a completely different look and expression.

However, this time, the soft, soft voice of the Sky Tree PA broadcast continued.

"Whether it is capable or not, everyone is born for their own reasons, the Creator will not create a completely useless person, even if he is now trampled under his feet and stepped into the abyss, then he will eventually draw from the abyss the power to overcome fear to change all this, and then they will finally understand that among the options of dignity, money, power and life, power is the eternal truth!"

"As you can see, the order and rules of this era are crumbling, and only the strength of the blade and the determination to die can keep us and our country alive in this earth-shaking wave."

"I hear the awakening of a new era! I heard the reincarnation of the pendulum turning in one circle! Status, homeland, dignity.... Everything we have lost will be regained! As for the aristocratic celestials who are dying and old and peeping fearfully into the earth...

The deceased is gone,

The king is no longer king.

Do you hear that?! ”

The words on the radio echoed in the drizzle as the night fell, and the originally noisy and restless square suddenly fell silent.

Looking at the fireworks rising into the sky,

Over the years, all kinds of turmoil and tragedies that have occurred in Wano Country suddenly came to mind.

Those humans who died tragically at the hands of the celestial nobles.

Those teenagers who disappeared mysteriously.

The old people who staged a demonstration and fell under the double bridge.

Even under their feet, two months ago, there was a sensational "Sky Tree Bloody Night" here under the ruthlessness of the Adjudicator.

They are numb enough to get used to it.

But everything...

It shouldn't be like this.

What went wrong?

Most of the people gathered at Sky Tree Square today are young people.

Being young doesn't mean that they are fools who blindly believe in the government, it's just that they have been oppressed for too long and too ruthlessly in the past ten or twenty years since they were born, and the recent turbulent situation in Wano Country has made them hold back at home for so many days, and they urgently need a window to vent.

But on what basis do they "take" such a risk?

Strength.

That's right, at the end of the day.

And not because they don't have the power?

At this moment, under the influence of some quietly dispersed field, everyone in the east and west squares under the sky tree, including the tower square in the middle, stood in place in a daze, the word "power" inexplicably appeared in their minds, and an unprecedented desire surged in their hearts.

That's right, the mirror.

This realm can not only make itself a "flower reflected in the mirror, a moon floating in the water", but also affect the senses and judgments of everyone in the field, so that people's thinking unconsciously falls into a situation dominated by the domain controller.

......

Sky Tree, more than 300 meters above the ground, on the Tianwang Corridor.

Kimura Shirataka stood in front of the circular glass canopy, looking down at the people below with their heads tilted like a "creator" from the sky, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Behind him, the seven members of the Chasseur Squad carried heavy black cargo boxes on their backs, and everyone had a shocked and dazed look on their faces after hearing Kimura Hakutaku's words.

They were tasked with helping to explore and investigate the world of hell, and they didn't expect to be involved in some incredible event by the person who hired them in front of them.

Vice-captain Yoshitsu Ichiro swallowed his saliva and glanced at Teresa and Ellenda on the side, both of whom saw the complexity in each other's eyes.

This public speech just now...

If you heard me correctly, it should be tantamount to declaring war on the Celestial Man and the World Government, right?

Can war be declared on the World Government and the Celestials?

Are you kidding...

Why is he?!

As soon as this thought came to mind, everyone remembered the heavy cargo box they were carrying behind them, and their hearts were suddenly shocked, and the expression on their faces became a little complicated.

These fruits are all "devil fruits" with extremely high mortality rates, and most of them die directly when they make deals with demons!

Only a very few, very few, will survive.

Is this man gambling the future of his country and the lives of all of his people on these fruits?

I have to say,

It's a thrilling gamble!

And they may become witnesses to the prologue of this bloody history.

Or... Accomplice.

But who wants to get caught up in this muddy water!

The faces of the people in the hunter squad were complicated, but a sense of powerlessness swelled in their hearts, and they couldn't help but recall the scene that had just happened in the hell world in their minds.

Tokugawa Chestnut Tiger, Saka Honzun, and the White Yaksha who took advantage of both defeats that day to kill two ninth-order powerhouses in a row.

In fact, in a flash, Titi was all trapped in place by the man in front of him.

Eventually, the border gates will close again.

If those people can't get out of that heaven and earth before then, I'm afraid they will stay in that hellish world full of dead silence and despair forever...

Just when the mood of the people in the chasseur team was heavy and complicated, Kimura Baituo's warm and magnetic voice sounded in everyone's ears again when the hearts of countless people in the Sky Tree Square were at a loss.

"I have heard the longing of your hearts, and now, I will respond to your longing."

After finishing speaking, Kimura Hakutaku turned around and said softly to Yoshitsu Ichiro, who was standing behind him:

"Captain Yoshizu, please take them and carry these fruits into the elevator, someone below will take over."

"Huh? Belch... Be! ”

Yoshitsu Ichiro couldn't resist the man's gaze, but finally nodded and replied stubbornly.

Next, the first batch of fruits brought back from the hell world were placed in the Sky Tree's sightseeing elevator, all the way down, as if sent into an abyss with no bottom in sight.

......

"Ridiculous! Is this guy crazy! ”

The parliament building, the office of the Prime Minister, Interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi, slammed the table, but everything was already useless.

He sat down in the chair behind him a little dejectedly, his heart full of remorse for giving power to Kimura Hakutaku, a kind and reliable man.

He, the interim prime minister, was ordered to be in danger, and he was impressed by Kimura Shiraku's harmless smiling face and generosity in saving the country from danger, thinking that this was a rare and different heir to a chaebol family.

Now it seems that

He's not just different.

Simply a complete lunatic.

But it's too late to say anything.

Nobuo Kobayashi, the new foreign minister and interim prime minister, is well aware that the so-called "fruit" in Kimura's mouth is like a Pandora's box, which once opened, it never ends.

On the first floor of the Sky Tree, at the entrance of the elevator, there was a ding, and the downward elevator arrived.

As soon as the elevator door opened,

The boxes of fruit were taken over by a group of people from the 3rd Reconnaissance Group wearing navy blue windbreakers.

These people are all the old men of the fifth team led by Kimura Hakutaka in the third investigation group over the years, and everyone's face is full of pilgrimage-like fanaticism and loyalty.

"Be careful! Don't break it! ”

"Yes!"

Under the transportation of this team full of execution, the fruits in the black cargo box were quickly transported to the first floor of the Sky Tree and piled in front of the people near the Sky Tree in the square.

There aren't too many words.

The people of the third reconnaissance group silently unsealed the boxes and distributed the fresh and golden-looking oranges inside to the hands of the surrounding group of people.

People took it and looked curiously at the orange in their hands, as if it had nothing to do with the power of the man on the radio, but there seemed to be a voice howling in their heads with hunger!

"Eat me! Eat me! Eat me! ”

Finally, someone could not bear the sound that came straight into his head, and like a greedy beast, he took a bite of an orange without even peeling the skin.

Suddenly, the sweet juice instantly filled the taste buds, and the whole person's mind buzzed like a loud bell.

At this moment, he seems to follow the vision of a stranger, hurrying through this life in a completely unfamiliar world with a slide-like perspective.

Then...

What's the matter...

Grows out of the body!

The people gathered at the back of the square, watching those oranges full of temptation being eaten by others near the water, felt some subtle changes in them, and suddenly couldn't help but pounce on them, but like a group of fanatical pilgrims, they raised their hands and shouted:

"Mine mine!"

"I want it too, what about mine?"

“......”

For a moment, the crowd below seemed to be crazy, sniffing the intoxicating sweetness of the air with the tip of their noses.

A few minutes ago, they were still trying to evacuate towards the exit of the square, but now they frantically swarmed towards the wind direction of the Sky Tree.

The warm and magnetic voice sounded again on the Sky Tree broadcast, and Kimura Hakutaku looked at the second batch of black cargo boxes that were carried onto the sightseeing elevator, and said softly:

"You don't need to worry, everyone who came to the square today, everyone in our Wano country, has a chance to 'choose again'."

"Re-chosen? Do you really think so? ”

Without warning, an unfamiliar voice came from the Sky Tree.

Suddenly, the smile on the corner of Kimura Baituo's mouth condensed slightly, and he saw two large fast knives with ten thousand refining blade patterns appearing in the light blue flowing light band behind him.

One blade is carved with a lifelike Kuriga dragon, and the other is like a bird with wings ready to fly, all exuding a murderous aura!

After the double knife, the figure could not be seen clearly.

The pale blue flames were already rushing like a raging tide, dispelling every inch of darkness around them, and illuminating the huge Tianwang Corridor in the sky like a night pearl in the middle of the night.

Canglei X Cangyan!

Fire Thunder God Slash!

Boom!

The only sightseeing elevator on the Sky Tree carries the second batch of fruits that have just been carried up.

Under this terrifying impact, a terrifying light burst out, and countless glass shards splattered in all directions.

With the influx of flames.

In the blink of an eye, whether it was the fruit or the elevator, all disappeared into the Tianwang Corridor.

All that was left of the original elevator entrance was a pitch-black, charred void, and a figure standing next to the void holding twin knives and wearing a White Yaksha mask.

Everyone in the hunter squad was shocked!

They stared at Higashinohara with stunned faces as they suddenly emerged from behind the Boundary Gate.

He broke through the [Heaven and Earth] of the Kimura team leader?

Behind, Kimura Shirato lowered his head slightly, and the half-long hair on his forehead was gently stirred by the wave of flames.

Immediately, he slowly raised his head, and a smile reappeared on his face and said to Higashinohara, "It seems that your injuries have recovered much faster than I expected. ”

Higashinohara did not answer this question.

Through the glass curtain wall of the Tianwang Corridor, he looked down on the frenetic crowd in the square at his feet.

Silently feeling the faint realm around him that can affect people's emotions and senses like a canopy of heaven over the square, a deep disgust flashed in his eyes.

"That's what you call ... Let the people make their own choice? ”

Faced with the questioning, Kimura Hakuto smiled indifferently, shook his head and said, "My field has never been able to change people's inner thoughts, it can only guide and amplify their heart's truest desires and give them the courage to try." ”

After finishing speaking, Kimura Shirato looked at the pitch-black and scorched elevator beside Higashinohara, and the smile that often hung on the corner of his mouth finally disappeared little by little, and said in a low voice:

"No matter what you think, but one thing you can't deny, I and all those who have followed me now and in the future, we are all people who 'do things', people who are 'doing things seriously' for the sake of this country and for the change of this era... Or is it you? What shall I call you? ”

"A clown in a mask?"

"A terrorist without ideals?"

"I think I have done righteous, but who will thank you? Isn't it because you know in your own heart that you are running away from all this, evading the responsibilities that come with your own abilities? ”

In the night,

The drizzle fell in the sky, and the camera of the new Tokyo station was very clearly shown to Higashinohara wearing a white-faced fanged yaksha mask.

Many people who were nervous sitting in front of the TV recognized that this was the "White Yaksha", a popular hunter in New Tokyo a week ago.

It's just that at this moment, Higashinohara lowered his head, as if he was caught in some kind of thought.

But soon, everyone in front of the TV noticed that the masked figure under the camera raised his head again, and looked firmly at Kimura Shirakuta, who was standing opposite him.

"No, I have never considered myself a messenger of justice, nor have I considered myself a moralist, nor have I felt that my own abilities have any responsibility for the future of Wano Country, and I have said from the beginning that if what I do is barely justice, it is only justice motivated by interest."

"Everything I do is what I feel is the right thing to do, what I think is the right thing."

Well, it can also improve attributes.

Under the white-faced fanged Yaksha mask, Higashinohara's voice was calmer than ever.

He continued as if asking himself a question:

"What is correct?

Well, killing pays for life, sin has to pay, good people have a good end, and personal ambitions, no matter how great, should not be above anyone's life. ”

"You say there are always people who have to sacrifice, so why can't it be you? A new era has been built at the expense of the people at the bottom, no matter how beautiful you describe it.

I just think...

Incredibly filthy rancid. ”

Hearing Higashinohara's last words, Kimura Shirata's gentle smile finally came up.

He stared directly at the mask on Higashinohara's face, a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Having said that, it's nothing more than the sophistry of a selfish person who doesn't want to bear a sense of moral guilt, hehe, you don't even dare to take off this white yaksha mask on your face..."

"Who says I wouldn't dare?"

Higashinohara interrupted him suddenly.

Suddenly, the air around him suddenly fell silent.

Everyone in the hunter squad looked at Higashinohara in amazement, and then at the TV helicopter with "Shin Tokyo TV" printed on it in the sky above their heads, proving that all this was under the live TV camera.

This man who has hidden his identity for some reason is really excited by the words of the Kimura team leader to reveal his identity?

While they were wondering,

Higashinohara had already raised his hand and placed it under the large, white-fanged Yaksha mask on his face.

Kimura Baituo's mocking words were interrupted, and after being slightly stunned, he thought of something in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly to reveal a familiar gentle smile.

It's like waiting for a good show.

Higashinohara didn't play anything, but he still hugged the pipa and half-covered his face, and after raising his hand, he simply took off the "White Yaksha" mask on his face that had been worn for almost a month.

In the next moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Along with it, there was also a gentle smile that had just curled up at the corner of Kimura Hakutaku's mouth.

Higashinohara took off the White Yaksha mask.

Exposed...

A dark golden dragonfly mask.

For the first time, Kimura Hakutaka showed a slightly cold look on his harmless gentle face, squinting his narrow eyes, looking directly at Higashinohara wearing a dragonfly mask, and said in an extremely low voice,

"You're in... Are you kidding me? ”

At the same time, however,

When Higashinohara's long-lost dark golden dragonfly mask was presented to countless people around the world through the live broadcast of New Tokyo TV.

Suddenly, the major forces and organizations were in an uproar!
