Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

Chapter 167 Ghost Island

At the border between the Suzugo region and the Flower Capital, Kozuki Sukiyaki was wearing a mask and waiting quietly.

Three days ago, the Kuja Pirates ordered him to wait here and witness an event, but he still doesn't know why.

He didn't dare to escape because the other party knew his identity.

If Kurozumi Orochi knew that he was not dead, all his two years of hiding would be wasted.

Just when he was racking his brains for the solution, members of the Nine Snakes Pirates appeared.

A group of people walked towards the boundary river.

Kotsuki Sukiyaki suddenly became nervous and thought to himself: Will they kill me after the "witness" is over?

"Kotsuki Sukiyaki, do you recognize this knife?" A childish and cold voice brought Kotsuki Sukiyaki back to his senses.

"Knife?"

Kozuki Sukiyaki was at a loss for a moment.

However, when he saw the knife in Kuina's hand, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Wado Ichimonji!" Kotsuki Sukiyaki exclaimed in surprise.

This sword was made by Shimotsuki Kozaburo. It was a twenty-first-level sharp sword when it was first made, and caused a sensation in Wano Country.

Shimotsuki Kozaburo once said that if this sword could absorb spirits, it could be promoted to a supreme sword of the twelfth level!

Kozuki Sukiyaki himself is also an excellent swordsmith, so he naturally noticed that the Wado Ichimonji in Kuina's hand has now completed the absorption of spirit.

"It's good that you recognize me." Kuina's voice was firm and steady.

"My grandfather created the Wado Ichimonji in order to surpass the first generation of Kitetsu of your Kozuki family."

"Now that the Wado Ichimonji has completed the soul-collection, in the future, I will definitely find the first generation of Kitetsu and defeat it!"

Kuina's words echoed in the air like a solemn oath.

"I see……"

At this moment, Kozuki Sukiyaki finally realized what he was witnessing.

"So you are the granddaughter of Kozaburo... Can you let me take a look at the current Wado Ichimonji?" Kotsuki Sukiyaki asked earnestly.

Kuina did not refuse and handed the Wado Ichimonji in her hand to Kotsuki Sukiyaki.

As soon as Kozuki Sukiyaki took the Wado Ichimonji, he immediately realized that the sword seemed to have life and contained a strong sense of self-awareness.

Although he had never come into contact with a famous sword of the twelfth level, the Wado Ichimonji in his hand at this moment undoubtedly surpassed the twenty-one level.

He gently pulled out the Wado Ichimonji, and saw a soft white light flash by like lightning.

In an instant, the excitement in Kozuki Sukiyaki's eyes was beyond words.

This is a supreme sword of the twelfth level!

As a swordsmith, being able to forge a famous sword of the twelfth level is his lifelong pursuit!

However, now, his former opponent has succeeded and left him far behind.

Although Kotsuki Sukiyaki was unwilling at this time, he had to admit defeat to Shimotsuki Kosaburo.

He put the Wado Ichimonji back into the sheath and handed it back to Kuina: "Although Kozaburo did succeed, this does not mean that Wado Ichimonji surpassed the first generation of Kitetsu of my Kozuki family!"

Although Kotsuki Sukiyaki himself was defeated by Shimotsuki Kozaburo, the two swords have not yet officially clashed, so it is still unknown which one is stronger.

Therefore, he would naturally be unwilling to admit that the first generation of Kitetsu created by the Kozuki family was not as good as Wado Ichimonji.

"Then live well, I will make sure you witness with your own eyes how the first generation of Kitetsu was defeated miserably by Wado Ichimonji!" Kuina said proudly.

She knew very well that it was a pipe dream to convince Kozuki Sukiyaki at this moment.

In the future, she is bound to defeat the bald man holding the first generation of Kitetsu!

However, Kuina doesn't know yet that at that time, the first generation of Kitetsu had already changed its master.

And the person she needs to defeat is no longer the Five Elders, but that familiar powerful enemy.

Soon, everyone ignored Kozuki Sukiyaki and resolutely crossed the boundary river and returned to the Flower Capital.

Kozuki Sukiyaki stared at Kuina's figure walking away, feeling mixed emotions. He suddenly had a premonition that the future of Wano Country might be controlled by this woman from the Shimotsuki family!

"Snake Princess, you guys go back to the inn first. I'm going to Ghost Island." After returning to the Flower Capital, Gerard said to the Empress.

At this point, all of the goals of coming to the Kingdom of Heaven have been achieved, and it is time to leave this bleak country.

"Well~ be careful." The empress responded softly.

Jellal nodded, then sped off towards Onigashima.

After Jellal left, the Empress looked towards Onigashima and said coldly: "Kuina, keep a close eye on any movement on Onigashima. If Kaido dares to harm Jellal, we will kill him immediately!"

"Okay, Sister Snake." Kuina responded quickly, and immediately transformed into a human-beast form.

After the empress gave the order, everyone returned to the inn together.

On the other side, Jellal flew over Onigashima in a short while.

With the help of his Observation Haki, he easily found out Kaido's whereabouts, and then broke directly into Kaido's mansion.

"Who are you?"

"How dare you break into Admiral Kaido's residence..."

"Men, capture him and hand him over to Admiral Kaido for punishment!"

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, Jellal was surrounded by the soldiers of the Beasts Pirates.

Seeing this, Jellal released his aura like a tiger descending from a mountain.

The overwhelming force instantly stopped all the pirates in their tracks as if they were cast under a spell.

These pirates looked at Jellal, all of them terrified.

"Get out!" Gerard's roar was as cold as the wind in the dead of winter, icy and bone-chilling.

These pirates are all members of the Beasts Pirates and will be Yamato's subordinates in the future. For Yamato's sake, Jellal does not want to kill them.

"Tyrant Sword Jellal!"

"What are you doing on our Ghost Island?"

After learning about the situation, Jin rushed over and happened to see this scene.

"Tyrant Sword Jellal!?"

"Hey, hey, hey... Is this the sword that defeated the admiral of the navy?"

"No...it's impossible..."

When the pirates around heard Jin say Jellal's name, they became like frightened birds and became chaotic in an instant.

They looked at Gerard, like fish trapped in a ditch, swallowing their saliva continuously, trying to ease the fear in their hearts.

Jellal looked at Jin and asked without further ado, "Where's Kaido? Where is he?"

Jin looked at Jellal deeply, and finally remembered that his admiral had once said that he wanted the Nine Snakes Pirates to take Master Yamato away.

"Please follow me..." Although he was reluctant, Jhin still took Jellal into the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, Gerard heard thunderous snoring.

Gerald's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Can't this guy do something else besides drinking?

For example, if he could organize the combat power of his own pirate group, wouldn't it be easier for Yamato to take over in the future?

Jhin was also a little embarrassed at this time. He didn't expect that his admiral was drunk again.

"Boss Kaido, wake up..." Jin pushed Kaido a few times, but Kaido was like a sleeping lion, showing no signs of waking up.

"Admiral Kaido, wake up!"

"Master Yamato ran away!"

Jin shouted directly into Kaido's ear.

Kaido immediately woke up like a disturbed beast, and murderous intent flashed in his opened eyes!
