The autumn water flying out of the sky was like an arrow entwined with lightning, drawing a black and red startling light in the air.
Strong winds and showers.
They were all crushed by this startling light, pointing directly at Peggy Wan.
Peggy Wan felt a strong sense of crisis in an instant, and when she reacted, the black-red startling light flashed in her eyes.
The next moment.
The autumn water came with a startling light and penetrated Peggy Wan's chest diagonally.
at the same time.
A turbulent ring-shaped air wave took Peggy Wan as the center point and swept away in all directions.
The autumn water that penetrated Peggy Wan's chest was held by a right hand that appeared out of thin air before it was about to plunge into the ground.
The moment that hand grasped the handle of the autumn water knife.
The terrifying power that was like an ancient ferocious beast that blessed the autumn water suddenly became extremely docile and calmed down silently.
The owner of this hand is naturally Mod, who came in an instant with the ability to change his body.
From throwing the autumn water through Peggy Wan's chest, to instantly coming to hold the autumn water that is about to fall to the ground.
The whole process to the end.
In the eyes of everyone, it is just a moment of effort.
Maude turned her back to Peggy Wan, her arms shook slightly, she shook off the blood from Qiu Shui Dao's body, and said calmly:
"You don't even have the strength to fight back. How can you kill me?"
Before she finished speaking, Maude put the autumn water into the sheath.
After hearing Mod's words, Peggy Wan's body seemed to have just reacted. First, it was shaken violently, and its chest was penetrated by autumn water, and then a large amount of blood spattered out.
"Yes, yes... poof..."
Peggy Wan opened his mouth to speak, but spit out a large mouthful of blood.
Unable to speak any more, he slumped to the ground.
Bang.
There was a muffled sound.
Peggy Wan's body hit the ground heavily and gradually returned to human form.
The sound of falling to the ground was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in the hearts of Kinemon and other samurai and fur warriors.
They looked at Maud standing behind Peggywan with dull eyes.
After witnessing the "shock light" just now, they finally understood why they felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in Maude.
"What a terrible move..."
The scene just now flashed through their minds, and Kinemon and the others could not suppress the shock that surged from their hearts.
The terrifying speed and penetrating power, as well as the ability to follow the knife.
Just watching, Kinemon and others couldn't resist at all.
Even if they just imagined it, they couldn't figure out how to prevent this move.
"That man... who is he?"
While Kinemon and others were shocked, they also became very curious about the origins of Mod, who held the national treasure of Wano.
Denjiro struggled to suppress the shock in his heart and continued to walk forward.
at the same time.
The coast of Wano, across the sea from Onigashima.
Momonosuke and Hiyori stood side by side on the shore.
The waves hit the rocks and shattered into huge mist, which fell on Momonosuke and Hiyori.
The rain blown by the strong wind also slapped on the faces and bodies of Momonosuke and Hiyori.
Despite this, after Kinemon and the others left by boat, the two brothers and sister had been standing here, silently looking at the wind, rain and waves ahead.
"Princess Hiyori, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain first."
Hiyori's maid, Xiaonanzi, saw the rain getting heavier and heavier, and couldn't help but make suggestions.
She already knew Hiyori's true identity, and her title was changed to Princess Hiyori.
"Um."
Hiyori nodded slightly and looked at her brother Momonosuke, whose appearance, body and mind were all those of twenty years ago.
Her red lips parted slightly and she was about to speak.
But there was a harsh laughter coming from the rain curtain.
Hiyori was startled when she heard the sound and looked in the direction where the laughter came from.
I saw a mighty team headed by a big snake, coming against the wind and rain.
"Dear Xiao Zi, oh, no, it's my dear Princess Hiyori."
Orochi, who was sitting on the sedan chair, looked at Hiyori and Momonosuke with a horrified look on his face.
Chapter 378 Hostages
long, long ago-
Kuotan Orochi, who conspired to steal Wano Country, placed an undercover agent next to Oden, whom he thought was stupid.
Whether it is the past more than 20 years ago, or now more than 20 years later.
The undercover agents he placed next to Oden were always able to deliver enough information to him in a timely manner.
Just like now.
Through the intelligence carefully left behind by the undercover agent, Orochi mastered the movements of Momonosuke and his party, and also learned that the once-famous oiran Komurasaki in Kyoto was actually the Princess Hiyori of the Kozuki clan.
Of course.
Orochi, who escaped with the ability of the phantom beast species Yamata no Orochi, based on the information left by the undercover Kanjuro, led his surviving subordinates to face Momonosuke and Hiyori in the wind and rain.
Seeing the Orochi coming with a huge team, Hiyori, who was completely unprepared, suddenly panicked.
Not to mention Momonosuke, who was not very good at heart, was so frightened that his whole body became weak and he was about to sit down on the ground.
"elder brother… "
Hiyori held Momonosuke's arm in time to prevent Momonosuke from being embarrassed in front of Orochi and the others.
"Orochi, haven't you already..."
Hiyori supported Momonosuke and looked nervously at Orochi, who was sitting on the sedan.
While in the Flower Capital, Denjiro had clearly confirmed the news of Orochi's death.
But why is the big snake still alive...
Moreover, why would Orochi know their movements
While panicking, Hiyori vaguely noticed something.
"Gufuhaha..."
Even the sound of wind and rain could not cover up the sneer of the big snake.
"Did I disappoint you, my dear Princess Hiyori... Humph, it's really in vain that I, the general, loved you so much before."
“…”
Hiyori gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Konan leaned against Hiyori's side. She was clearly so scared that her body was shaking rapidly, but her face was full of laughter.
This is because she accidentally ate the artificial fruit and because she failed to acquire abilities, she lost any expression except "laughing".
She was extremely frightened and could only laugh out loud now.
Such an inconsistent performance reveals a hint of bitterness in this dangerous situation.
Momonosuke was also close to Hiyori, his thin body, like Konan, was trembling rapidly due to fear.
Without any warriors to protect them, they turned their backs to the stormy waves and faced the serpents.
Nothing could be more desperate than this situation.
"Gufuhaha, why don't you speak? Are you wondering why this general is not dead?"
The big snake in control of the situation smiled wildly and wantonly.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you. You two don't have long to live anyway."
Saying that, Orochi used his ability.
Under the horrified gazes of Momonosuke and Hiyori, Orochi's face and body instantly swelled, and in an instant he turned into the appearance of Yamata-no-Orochi.
only.
The big snake that transformed into the form of Yamata no Orochi now has only seven snake heads left.
"It's precisely because of this ability... Everyone else was smashed into pieces by the falling island, but I was able to survive, Gufuhahaha!!!"
The seven elongated snake heads moved forward in front of Hiyori.
Hiyori managed to remain calm, her right hand was quietly hidden in her kimono, and she looked up at the huge snake head so close at hand.
Orochi stared at Hiyori and gradually stopped laughing.
He thought that Hiyori would be paralyzed by fear in an instant, but he didn't expect to be so calm, and he lost interest for a moment.
Plop!
Momonosuke sat down on the ground and stared blankly at the snake head in front of him.
Unspeakable despair kept impacting his thoughts, making him almost collapse.
However, the mouthpiece seemed to be strangled by a pair of big hands, preventing him from expressing his fear through sound.
"Haha, hahaha...!!!"
Xiaonan's laughter sounded from his ears, as if he was mocking his timidity.
Orochi ignored Konan's reaction, and turned his cold snake eyes to look at Momonosuke who was paralyzed by fear.
"Gufuhaha, that Kozuki Oden actually gave birth to such a useless waste!"
Seeing Momonosuke's miserable performance, Orochi couldn't help but flash back to Oden's heroic posture in the oil pan for an hour, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud like Konan.
Momonosuke's eyes were filled with tears, his lips trembled, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
Just when Orochi focused on Momonosuke, Hiyori suddenly pulled out a dagger forged from sake iron ore from her kimono and slashed hard at one of Orochi's heads.
laugh!
A splash of blood.
On the snake head struck by the dagger, there was a slight wound from the eye to the corner of the lip.
"Um?!"
The big snake was suddenly hit and felt the wound was slightly numb, and suddenly became furious.
Without even thinking, he controlled the injured snake head and slammed it against Hiyori's body.
Bang!
The arrogant force directly knocked Hiyori away who had no power to resist.
Momonosuke and Konan, who were originally leaning on Hiyori's side, were thrown to the side by the aftermath of the impact.
"Damn it!"
After taking action, Orochi immediately regretted it.
But even if he regretted it, he could only watch Hiyori fly towards the sea.
Under his gaze, Hiyori's graceful body was like a kite with its string broken, falling towards the sea that was constantly stirring up turbulent waves.
