In the shadow of the ruins of the island of ghosts and the capital of flowers, Momo's assistant held the handle of the knife and paced back and forth anxiously.

"Why haven't you come back?" He already had some suspicions, "Ju Zhicheng ...... him"

"His Royal Highness Momonosuke." Ah Ren pursed his lips, "I look at him, I'm afraid that the situation is not good, and he has already taken refuge in the Frost Moon family." ”

At the mention of the Frost Moon family, Momonosuke felt a little stuffy in his chest.

He never imagined that the man who was so loyal to his father and grandfather would now be so hateful!

A traitor, if he is a traitor, I should not believe him...... If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in the General's Mansion, I should have chopped him with a knife!

Shinobi's words stung Momonosuke.

He thought that Yizang had also betrayed, and Ju Zhicheng was Yizang's younger brother, could it be really as Ah Ren said, Ju Zhicheng him......

"His Royal Highness Momonosuke!" At this moment, a familiar call pulled him back from his thoughts.

I saw Kikuno Cheng, who was wearing a kimono and had a Ji hairstyle, leading two men with a rough appearance, and walked over quickly.

Kinemon and Kanjuro, who were resting on the side, as well as a dozen or so samurai, all got up and walked over.

"His Royal Highness Momonosuke." Ju Zhicheng happily stretched out his hand and signaled, "These two are people with lofty ideals who are willing to join us. ”

"So little?" Ren pouted.

Not long ago, both Kanjuro and Kikunojo were ordered to recruit men.

Kanjuro brought back more than a dozen people, but Kikuzhicheng only brought back two, which is indeed too few in comparison.

Momonosuke was secretly relieved to see that Kikunocheng did not turn his back, but he was also a little dissatisfied when he saw that there were only two of them, and they looked lazy and lazy.

"Tell me, why do you want to follow me?" He asked.

One of them looked at Momonosuke from beginning to end a few times, then squinted his eyes and said with a breath in his eyes:

"Lao Tzu can't help it, he used to be a thief well, and the soldiers of the Deep Sea Empire came to cut off Lao Tzu's financial route, and Lao Tzu was wanted everywhere, so Lao Tzu had to come to ......"

With a sonorous thud, Kanjuro pulled the katana out of his brush-like scabbard and placed it next to the man's neck, causing him to jerk and raise his hands.

"How dare you be rude to His Royal Highness Momonosuke?" Kanjuro was indignant, "Momonosuke's father, but the famous Mita Daimyo, you dare to call yourself 'Lao Tzu'?" ”

"Lao Tzu...... I...... I ......"

Without waiting for the man to explain, Kanjuro wiped the knife and spurted out.

The man clutched his hands to his throat in horror, then fell straight to the ground, trembling for a while, like an old hen that had been bled out, and stopped moving.

Momonosuke frowned, and when he saw the blood, he had some desire to vomit, and silently took two steps back.

Kanjuro immediately knelt down in front of him: "His Royal Highness Momonosuke, I am guilty, please punish me, I really can't see him humiliate His Royal Highness Mita, and I will ...... in a hurry"

"None...... It's okay......" Momonosuke swallowed the discomfort in his throat, "You're doing a great job...... You're loyal...... Done right. ”

Ju Zhicheng was stunned for a while, and the previous joy disappeared, and he stood aside silently.

It was all he could muster, and the others, including some of his former acquaintances, were reluctant to rebel.

He didn't understand how Kanjuro had found so many helpers.

The other man was already so frightened that he fell to the ground and cried out:

"Your Highness spares your life!"

"Villain...... The villain was originally a commoner, but he was persecuted by the Deep Sea Empire and the Frost Moon family, and when he heard that His Highness had returned, his reverence was like the waves of the country of Wano, and he immediately followed! ”

"My faithfulness is evident from the sun and the moon!"

Ah Ren couldn't help but say to the side: "Your Highness, this is what the people want, the tyranny of the Deep Sea Empire and the Frost Moon Family doomed their rule to not last long. ”

Momonosuke listened, his brows finally stretched a little, smiled slightly, and said, "Very good." ”

Ju Zhicheng pursed his lips tightly, because he knew the truth of the matter.

Now the ordinary people of the country can eat well, save some surplus money, and have the opportunity to go overseas, who wants to be a thief and be in danger?

It's nothing more than the previous bandits, rogues, and underworlds.

Where are the persecuted civilians who come to follow?

The person who knelt on the ground was an underworld before, and he had bullied the Frost Moon Kang family when he was still pretending to be crazy and stupid in Ebisu Town to help the poor, and he took advantage of it in the town.

Later, the situation in Wano Country changed dramatically, and he offended the current Wano Country General, and he felt scared, so he hid in the mountains and wilderness, until today.

In fact, the Frost Moon Kang family has long forgotten that there is such a person as him, and even if they meet now, they may not be able to remember it.

Ju Zhicheng knew this, but looking at the atmosphere in front of him, he was reluctant to say it, so as not to reduce the already low morale.

It's just that Momonosuke turned around and looked at it for a long time, still a little frustrated.

Why is it different from what Kinemon, Shinobi, Kanjuro, and Raizo say?

I've revealed my identity, why are there so many dozen people following me?

How will this build the country of Wano and restore the glory of his father and grandfather?

As if sensing Momonosuke's frustration, Kinemon stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, didn't Raizo contact us yesterday with 'Zhiluo'?" ”

"He, along with Inulan, Cat Viper, and a large army of fur tribes, have already arrived in the outer seas of Wazhi, but there are too many deep-sea imperial ships patrolling, and a large group of them can't blend in."

"We have agreed to start an incident in Wano Country, and then cooperate with them inside and outside, first regain the position of General of Wano Country, and then attack Phoenix Island."

"Your Highness, don't worry, these dozen or so people in front of us are our foundation, as long as we make a sound, the samurai who admire your prestige will only come in a steady stream."

Momonosuke hesitated: "Is that really the case?" ”

"It will definitely be so!" Kanjuro, whose whole face was brushed with white powder, was categorical, "Your Highness, didn't Ren say it?" Everyone in Wano Country is looking forward to your return. ”

Ah Ren was pushed out, and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Highness." They were only confused by Kaido and the Great Snake's foolish tactics for many years, and they were frightened by the Deep Sea Empire and the Frost Moon Yasu. ”

"We just have to respond to the will of the people! Your Highness, make up your mind to take down the research institute in the Nine Mile Harbor first, and let everyone in Wano Country know that you have returned! ”

"It's not a good thing to hear the sound of machines every day and every night in that research institute, and to drop suspicious powder into the sea!"

"If we take and destroy there, we will help the people of the entire Nine Miles, and they will naturally be grateful to us!"

Momonosuke listened to Shinobi's words and couldn't help but nod again and again.

Because of Kaido, he was quite disgusted by these steel behemoths brought from the outside world.

Ju Zhicheng couldn't hold back any longer, he paused and walked out: "Your Highness, I am against destroying that machine!" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him and frowned.

Ninja raised his voice even more.

"It's you again! The Frost Moon Kang family and Yizang rebelled, and you said you didn't believe it, but you also saw it. Now we say that the machine is harmful to Wano Country, and you don't believe it again, do you? ”

Momonosuke also had a cold face, staring at Kikunojo.

Ju Zhicheng was under great pressure, but he still stubbornly said: "I have inquired, the machine and the medicinal powder are used to solve the pollution problem in the island of Wano Country and the open sea......"

"Impossible! Ju Zhicheng, confused! Kanjuro shook his head again and again, "As Shinobu said, the people of the Deep Sea Empire will be so kind to help us and the country?" ”

Kinemon couldn't help but sigh and was heartbroken: "Kikunojo, do you also want to learn from your brother and treat those foreign ones as good?" ”

Momonosuke also looked disappointed.

Ju Zhicheng saw that everyone didn't believe him, and he knew that he didn't need to say anything next.

The machine and the powder can obviously purify the pollution...... The people of Jiuli said this, and they did feel the change in water quality little by little.

He asked them one by one, and the answers were all the same, and some people did complain that they were too loud, but the benefits were obvious.

Ju Zhicheng is really speechless.

Every time he was going to say something, this group of people would use the matter of Brother Yizang to pressure him, and he was not a person without a temper, and he had already suppressed a fire in his heart.

"Good, good." He said in a bad tone, "If you don't believe it, forget it." ”

"Presumptuous!" Kanjuro pointed to Kikunojo's nose, "What kind of tone are you?" His Royal Highness Momonosuke is here! ”

"I ...... Alas......" Kikuzhicheng choked in his throat, "I won't say anything, it's all right?" ”

Everyone sneered.

At this moment, Ju Zhicheng suddenly had a wonderful feeling, as if the originally blocked thoughts suddenly opened.

He looked at the people in front of him, and only felt that they were extremely strange.

This group of people is crazy, they are all crazy.
