Chapter 9 Red Historical Texts
Wano Country, the City of Flowers.
Three days was more than enough time for Luo Ji to leave Changying Port and head to the Flower Capital.
After he finished his killing spree, he used his Pen-Pen Fruit powers to transform into an ordinary resident and hide in the town.
When he saw the appearance of Queen the Plague, he knew that the Beasts Pirates' great expedition had not yet begun.
He decisively left Udon to avoid being caught by the Beasts Pirates.
His performance will begin after the Beasts Pirates leave.
Anyway, this expedition lasted a very long time, and Fire Fist Ace even had time to stay in Amigasa Village for a few weeks to learn how to weave straw hats.
Naroji can take this opportunity to visit the Flower Capital and obtain the historical texts related to the Red Army.
By the way, let Kozuki Sukiyaki meet his courtesan granddaughter and make him obediently hand over his stonemasonry skills and sea stone craftsmanship.
When we go to Oni Island to find Yamato, we'll have another way to open the explosive sea stone handcuffs.
On a bustling flower street in the City of Flowers.
A young man was holding a little girl, and an old man wearing a mask was standing next to him.
"Was that really... her?"
Sukiyaki looked at the stunning courtesan who was the center of attention, her voice trembling slightly.
But this kind of attention from thousands is not the kind of admiration that sukiyaki desires.
How could the princess of the Kozuki family become a courtesan who shows her face in public like this?!
This made traditional Kozuki Sukiyaki feel extremely uncomfortable and humiliated.
However, Sukiyaki was unaware that Denjiro had been protecting Hiyori all along, and thought that Hiyori was just an imaginary courtesan.
"Hand over the craftsmanship I want, and I might be able to have a face-to-face discussion with you."
Luo Ji said calmly that not only does Sukiyaki look down on the profession of courtesan, but Kozuki Hiyori also despises this identity.
This is why, after learning of Momonosuke and the Nine Red Scabbards' return, Komurasaki decisively faked her death and, with the help of Denjiro disguised as Kyoshiro, completely concealed her identity as the courtesan Komurasaki and restored her to the identity of Kozuki Hiyori.
If the people of Wano Country and the retainers of the Kozuki family knew that their Princess Hiyori was actually the former courtesan Komurasaki, who had previously been a snob and exploitative, countless people would probably reject her.
Even if people eventually learn that Xiao Zi earned money to help civilians and to restore her country and launch a counterattack.
However, this identity will ultimately not be accepted by the traditional Wano Country.
Like Boule de Suif, the prostitute in Maupassant's story.
This is human nature!
No matter how great you are, the barriers and labels associated with your identity are indelible.
Moreover, this is the land of Wa, which has been closed off for eight hundred years and is extremely traditional.
Prejudice between people is like a mountain; no matter how hard you try, you can't move it an inch.
If Luo Ji were to expose Xiao Zi's true identity now, even if she regained Kozuki Hiyori's noble status, she would still not be tolerated by Wano Country.
"No! Please don't! Let's go!"
Kozuki Sukiyaki hurriedly pleaded, "Hiyori's identity cannot be exposed, otherwise the Kozuki family will be disgraced, and even Hiyori will be in danger of death."
With Sukiyaki's mental state collapsing, he now basically takes whatever Luo Ji asks of him.
He handed over the stonemason family's skills and told Luo Ji about the secret chambers of the general's mansion and various ancient secrets.
All for Luo Ji's sake in protecting Xiao Zi's identity.
If Luo Ji and others were in a good mood after obtaining the historical documents, they might tell him about Denjiro.
Let him know that Hiyori Kozuki is actually a... pure princess.
With a look of utter despair, Kozuki Sukiyaki willingly returned to the prison scroll, unwilling to face this terrible reality.
Luo Ji watched the courtesan walk away and began to rob the rich in the Flower Capital to make some money.
While we're at it, let's find Shinobu, the user of the Ripe Ripe Fruit.
In a gangster mansion, Luo Ji killed some samurai and looted their valuables.
He and Tama enjoyed real food in the Flower Capital while searching for Shinobu's whereabouts and waiting for news from the Beast Pirates.
He also stockpiled large quantities of food and fresh water.
'Once the Beasts Pirates set sail, I'll infiltrate the General's mansion.'
'To find Shinobu, we can use puppet portraits of Kin'emon and Kikunojo to make an appearance; that should attract Shinobu to come to us.'
Luo Ji is preparing his plans in the Flower Capital, working hard to familiarize himself with and develop his Devil Fruit abilities, as well as to cultivate his Haki.
A few days after he arrived in the Flower Capital, he finally learned of the Beasts Pirates' departure amidst heated discussions among a large number of samurai and ninjas.
"They've finally left!"
Luo Ji revealed an ambitious smile!
Luo Ji transformed into a completely different person and emerged from the home of an ordinary member of the Oniwabanshu.
Following the detailed map provided by Sukiyaki, he infiltrated the dark room along the route Sukiyaki had taken to escape.
While the Beasts Pirates are on their great expedition, Orochi is indulging in unrestrained pleasure, inviting a large number of songstresses to the shogun's mansion for a banquet.
He clearly believed that Kaido of the Beasts had reached his peak strength, and no one on the seas dared to provoke him.
Only the Beasts Pirates dare to attack others; no one dares to covet Kaido's Wano Country stronghold.
Amidst the boisterous music of the festival outside, Luo Ji sneaked into the dark room and searched for quite a while before finally finding the secret passage leading to the ancient Wano Country.
This ancient underground passage is several kilometers high.
"The walls protecting Wano Country don't seem as high as I imagined!"
"Pluto, the god of the underworld, could not possibly be a giant ship of ten thousand meters in length."
Luo Ji was somewhat disappointed. The legendary ancient weapon was probably not as big as the 10,000-meter island ship, the Gran Tesoro, owned by the Golden Emperor Tesoro.
It's not even comparable to island ships like the Terror Three-masted Sail or the Glossaedi, which are several kilometers long.
"However, this actually gives me a greater chance to take the Hades warship away."
Luo Ji licked his lips. His current scroll could hold as much seawater as the entire Ghost Island.
He still has a slim chance of stealing Pluto, the god of the underworld.
Even if it's temporarily unusable, you should still keep it in your own hands.
As Luo Ji arrived at the underground palace of the ancient Wano Country, he finally saw the red historical text.
"Ha, that red historical text from Fishman Island was taken away by that burned man."
"Then I, Lao Tzu, will keep this red historical record of Wano Country safe!"
Luo Ji looked at the red historical text, which was about the size of a small house, and summoned a huge scroll to cover and hide it.
"Alright! We've basically got everything Wano Country wanted to steal. Now let's see if we can take the Pluton Battleship with us."
Luo Ji grinned and leisurely left the underground palace.
Meanwhile, the grand feast at the General's Mansion had reached its climax.
When Luo Ji appeared above the General's Mansion, Kurozumi Orochi had already rushed into the dance troupe and joined them in singing and dancing, looking quite dashing.
Looking at the large number of Oniwaban ninjas and Mikai-gumi samurai, Luo Ji suppressed his desire to attack Kurozumi Orochi.
After all, drawing a Yamata no Orochi with Kurozumi Orochi's blood, combined with Luo Ji's Pen-Pen Fruit ability, should be able to unleash considerable combat power.
Luo Ji wanted to develop his Pen-Pen Fruit ability to a level comparable to the powerful effects of Vegapunk's Paramecia-type green blood.
'Next time, I'll bring Yamato and wreak havoc in the Flower Capital!'
Luo Ji glanced at the grand ball, ignoring the beautiful courtesan Xiao Zi, and quietly left.
He has only been in the One Piece world for a short time.
It's not time for him to make a scene yet.
