Of course, Kin'emon did not expect to set out on the journey to Usagi with Vivian and his group.
Therefore, on the way to Usagi, Kin'emon would always secretly leave secret codes on the road that only they knew when Vivian and others were not paying attention.
But what he obviously didn't know was that Vivian saw all of this.
There was no other way. Apart from the fact that he had cultivated his Observation Haki to a very high level, he had previously acquired the ability of clairvoyance. It could be said that as long as he wanted to, no one could do anything under his nose.
"I guess that signal was left for his companions. As for what it means, I have no idea." Jinbei glanced at the fresh mark that Kin'emon had just carved on the tree by the roadside, then lowered his voice and spoke in a low voice.
Vivian nodded when she heard this.
Of course he knew what the code meant.
They said they would gather at the port town of Blade Dance Port in Shiramu Village in a week.
As for why they gathered there, it was naturally because they planned to take advantage of the Beasts Pirates' banquet to attack Onigashima with the people they organized and defeat Kaido.
"But to be honest, I originally thought that apart from the Flower Capital, the rest of Wano Country would be extremely poor and desolate. I didn't expect that Udon Township would also have such a relatively prosperous town."
Vivian was walking on the road with a lollipop in his mouth. The lollipop stick had poked a piece of the black cloth covering his face, but his face was still not clearly visible.
Hearing this, Jinbei also nodded, "I just saw the situation outside of Murasaki, and I thought that under Kaido's rule, the entire Wano Country would present the same situation. I didn't expect that this place would look no different from the outside world..."
However, before he could finish his words, a group of burly men holding iron chains suddenly appeared from all directions, grabbed a man who was selling handicrafts on the side of the road, and quickly dragged him away.
All navy soldiers: (⊙_⊙)
Jinbei: (°ー°〃)
"What's going on?" Domino asked.
Kin'emon, who was walking in front, heard this and answered, "It's the jailer from the quarry who's here to arrest people again."
"Did the man just now commit a crime?" someone asked.
"I'm not sure." Kin'emon shook his head, "But I think it's likely that he offended a jailer."
According to the information brought by Kikunosuke who had been lurking in Udon, in this town, the jailers in the prisoner quarry are like "the king of heaven". Anyone who provokes them will almost immediately be arrested in the quarry on false charges and tortured inhumanely.
"More than half of the people in this town have been arrested and imprisoned in the quarry. Those who are still here can almost be called the walking dead."
They are ruled and tortured by Kaido's men all day long. They have no thoughts of their own and dare not resist at all. Once they leave this place, they will have no way to survive.
This is the current situation of most civilians still living in the town of Rabbit Bowl.
Vivian looked around and saw that almost everyone her eyes met had lifeless eyes. They were like walking corpses, carrying firewood or holding vegetable baskets, walking mechanically on the road.
"No wonder.."
I had a very strange feeling when I entered the town just now.
But then he thought again, if it were him, living in such a desperate town, he would probably become like these people.
"Can't you just run away?" Domino frowned and asked with pity in his eyes.
"If you try to escape and are caught, you will be locked up in the quarry forever and forced to work until you die," Kin'emon explained.
Most of the people here don't have the strength to fight against pirates, so it is extremely difficult for them to escape when they are not paying attention.
When everyone heard Kin'emon's words, they subconsciously clenched their fists. Just as they were feeling angry, Fujitora suddenly said, "Then how can we find Plague Queen?"
"Didn't this opportunity come to me on its own initiative?"
As soon as Fujitora finished speaking, Vivian pointed forward, and everyone immediately looked in the direction he pointed, only to see the group of burly prison guards who had just arrested someone, now wearing handcuffs and leg shackles, and quickly surrounded them.
"Oh? A strange face?"
"From another town?"
The leading man with long black hair and an elephant head on his chest raised his eyebrows and asked Vivian and the others.
Kin'emon was about to answer that they came from the Flower Capital, but at this moment, Vivian stepped forward first, winked at Kin'emon, and then said to the man, "We are from the outer island."
"Outer island?"
The long-haired man raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
You know, no outsiders have entered Udon Township for many years, of course, except for Luffy and Kidd's gang who were caught and entered the quarry a few days ago.
"People from the outer islands actually landed in Wano Country? Don't you know the rules of our country?"
After saying that, the man waved his hand at the jailers behind him and said, "Cuff them all and lock them up in the quarry!"
"Yes! Lord Babanuki!"
Upon receiving the order, the prison guards rushed forward and handcuffed Vivian's hands and feet.
Domino, Fujitora, and Jinpei were about to protest when they heard Vivian say, "Don't be impulsive! Since the adults in Rabbit Bowl Village want to invite us to be their guests, let's just go and take a look."
"this?"
Jinbei and the other soldiers looked at each other.
Babanuki couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "Guests? Very good, boys, when we get to the quarry, we'll greet them well."
"yes!"
Card!
Kakakaka!
Chains were chained onto the wrists and ankles of all the naval soldiers, including Kin'emon, and they were all caught on the street and twisted towards the quarry.
Somehow, Kin'emon originally planned to escape directly, but after seeing the calmness and confidence on Vivian's face, he suddenly changed his mind and chose to stay with her.
"I hope I didn't make a wrong bet this time."
Kin'emon, who was also shackled, turned his head and glanced at Kikunosuke and others who were hiding in the dark and looking at him. Then he opened his mouth and made the shape of his mouth: "You go to the meeting place first, I will come later."
Finished speaking.
Watching Kin'emon and Vivian being taken away, Kikunojo and the other two people hiding in the corner of the alley looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, then turned around, jumped onto the roof, and quickly left.
