Chapter 13 Invasion of the Seastone Mine
"Come on! I'll take you flying!"
Luo Ji drew the giant crane again, and with Yamato in his arms, flew into the sky, leaving Oni Island and heading towards Udon District.
"Are we going to set sail?"
Yamato looked excitedly at the blue sea below. After so many years, she had finally left Oni Island again.
In fact, she had been to Kuri Ward when she was a child and saw Kozuki Oden endure the "Boiling Cauldron Punishment" for an hour, and regarded him as the strongest samurai.
She also witnessed Kaido abandoning Momonosuke at Oden Castle.
It was around that time that she found Oden's nautical log left behind in Oden Castle, which opened up a new world for her.
Later, she expressed to Kaido her desire to become a strong person like Kozuki Oden, to go on sea adventures, and to explore the world.
As a result, he was reprimanded and displeased by Kaido.
Later, they even put her in sea stone bomb handcuffs, forbidding her from leaving Wano Country, and even from leaving Onigashima.
"Before you leave, don't you want to give Kurozumi Orochi a good beating? Kaido isn't protecting him in Wano Country right now."
Luo Ji smiled faintly and said that he wanted to trick Yamato into going to cause a ruckus in the Flower Capital.
He wanted to obtain Kurozumi Orochi's blood to draw an even more perfect Yamata no Orochi.
Moreover, the Flower Capital is incredibly wealthy, and Luo Ji wants to seize a large amount of gold and treasure to fund his overseas expeditions.
Kurozumi Orochi has been in the weapons and sea stone business for many years and is very wealthy.
Most importantly, to get from Oni Island to the Flower Capital, you have to pass through Udon Ward.
Luo Ji also wanted to seize another sea stone mine and make a fortune.
While we're at it, let's release the slaves and prisoners from the Seastone Mine and let them cause some trouble for the Beasts Pirates, so they won't come looking for trouble with Luo Ji and Yamato so quickly.
"That's right! I despise Kurozumi Orochi the most, let's go and kill him this time!"
Yamato's eyes lit up, his adventurous spirit surging. This was the thrilling life of a pirate, where revenge was taken and kindness was repaid.
"Let's go, we'll also go to the sea stone mine to rescue people!"
Luo Ji chuckled. He had already set his sights on all the sea stone stocks, determined to earn enough capital to go to sea this time.
"Yes! We still need to save people!"
Yamato is like a broken record; whatever she decides the new captain should do is what she wants to do.
This is so exciting!
"Hahaha! Let's make a huge scene!"
Luo Ji grinned. With Yamato, a powerful being with both three types of Haki and a Mythical Beast, protecting him, he could snatch even more good things.
Their hearty laughter echoed across the South China Sea.
···
Not long ago in Amigasa Village, Fire Fist Ace heard the villagers' complaints, which made him immediately decide to rescue the men who were being forced to work in the weapons factory, as well as some children who had been captured and taken to Onigashima.
Kind-hearted Ace refused any payment from the poor villagers, only learning a little about hat-making skills as his reward.
Fire Fist Ace has already investigated the general situation in Wano Country and knows the strength of the Beast Pirates stationed in various regions.
He quickly took action, wreaking havoc on weapons and poison gas factories near the village of Bengashi, and freeing a large number of slaves and workers.
He then headed straight for the sea stone mine in the nearby Udon district, because the Beasts Pirates had a major garrison there, and he wanted to defeat these pirates who exploited the common people.
But Fire Fist Ace's luck seems a bit too good.
The guards and the Shinpushi (a type of fighter) stationed at the Seastone Mine rushed back to Onigashima because of the Yamato incident.
When Fire Fist Ace attacked the Seastone Mine alone, only a deputy warden and a True Fighter remained to guard it.
The two sides engaged in a fierce fight.
However, Fire Fist Ace, who had little experience with Seastone weapons, still suffered a great loss.
When Ace was hit by a Seastone bullet, he almost thought he was going to die.
A wary Ace unleashed a powerful burst of fire energy, his enormous fire fist leaving Deputy Warden Davego half-dead.
When Luo Ji flew to the Seastone Mine with Yamato, Fire Fist Ace was still fighting a large number of soldiers in the mine.
The proliferation of various Seastone weapons made Ace extremely uncomfortable.
"It was him!!"
When Luo Ji saw the fiery figure, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
It seems that his presence with Jade and Kozuki Sukiyaki did indeed cause a slight change in the Fire Fist Ace storyline.
Luckily, I went to Onigashima early and managed to trick Yamato into boarding the ship.
Otherwise, once Fire Fist Ace and Yamato cross paths, it will be troublesome for Luo Ji to deceive Yamato.
"You know him? He's very powerful with fire!"
Yamato looked down at the battlefield with eager anticipation, wishing he could join the fight immediately and liberate the slaves and prisoners.
"The captain of the Spade Pirates, his grandfather is the Marine hero Garp, the Iron Fist!"
Luo Ji smiled meaningfully, as if he could trick another thug into causing trouble in the Flower Capital.
That way, it can also divert some of Kaido's attention.
"He's a pirate captain too? And he's the grandson of a Marine?"
"Iron Fist Garp? Isn't that the legendary Marine who chased after the Pirate King Roger? Oden wrote about him in his nautical log!!"
Upon hearing this introduction, Yamato's eyes lit up, but she no longer felt any eagerness to befriend this naval grandson.
"Let's go! We'll join in the fun! I heard that this Fire Fist Ace is planning to challenge all the Four Emperors and become the Pirate King."
Luo Ji, along with Yamato, joined the battle with overwhelming momentum, and Yamato's Conqueror's Haki directly dominated the entire scene.
Without his demon mask and dressed differently, the members of the Beasts Pirates didn't recognize Yamato for a moment.
"Another enemy attack! Quickly call Warden Babanuki and the others back!!"
The Beast Squad Leaders guarding the Seastone Mine shouted in panic.
They truly did not expect that shortly after Kaido of the Beasts led his large fleet on a sea expedition, someone would invade the Beasts Pirates' headquarters.
These newcomers are really timid!
When Governor Kaido returns, all these invaders will die, no matter where they flee to.
Babanuki and his men, who had just set sail to return to Ghost Island, were also furious when they heard the emergency call from the Sea Stone mine.
On one hand, young master Yamato has been kidnapped, and on the other hand, the sea stone mine has been invaded. What should they choose?
It's true that as soon as Kaido of the Beasts left, all sorts of monsters and demons started to appear.
"What do we do?! Warden!"
The two deputy wardens, Dopon and Solitia, anxiously inquired about Babanuki's situation, as both were important matters that urgently needed to be resolved.
"Damn it! Fire Fist Ace and Gol D. Rogi, where did these two arrogant newbies come from?!"
"You two continue on Onigashima to find Master Yamato, I'm going back to deal with that Fire Fist Ace!"
Babanuki had no choice but to split his forces in two, each to deal with the two urgent matters.
"Yes!"
The small fleet immediately split up in the inland sea to carry out their respective missions.
In the Seastone mine, Fire Fist Ace saw the two suddenly appearing powerful figures and assumed they were reinforcements from the Beasts Pirates, so he immediately became wary.
But he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were also fighting the Beasts Pirates and releasing prisoners.
He felt an unprecedented sense of threat from that white-haired woman with two horns.
This is far more terrifying than those vice admirals.
