The bandits of Head Mountain had plagued Kuri for a long ti. At that ti, Ashura Doji, known as the monster of Kuri, led the Head Mountain bandits, and ordinary people had no way to deal with them.
Later, Kozuki Oden subdued Ashura Doji, and the bandit problem in Kuri was naturally resolved. During the days when Oden was absent, although these bandits were occasionally restless, they were suppressed by the returning Ashura Doji.
However, now that they have all died, the Head Mountain bandits lost control. Initially, due to fear, they behaved for a while, but as ti passed, they eventually returned to looting.
Without a leader, these bandits could not cause a significant commotion. The strength of Denjiro and others was more than sufficient to deal with these bandits, and the Shinsengumi following them were far superior in both numbers and equipnt compared to the bandits.
Sending a supervising army was rely because of distrust towards them.
As for the order signed by Kozuki Hiyori, it was not actually King who handled it this ti. He just truthfully reported the actions of those bandits within the country.
Kozuki Hiyori, without understanding much about Head Mountain, cooperatively signed the order.
Outside the Head Mountain’s fortress, the rain kept hitting Denjiro’s face, the water splashing dirtied his glasses, temporarily blurring his vision. After so training, the people of the Shinsengumi could withstand this rain.
As for Greninja, such weather was the most comfortable environnt for him.
Buzz~
A sound in the air broke the unique silence under the rain. A massive Water Shuriken appeared in Greninja’s hand.
As the scale of the water-ford shuriken grew large enough, Greninja hurled it towards the fortress gate.
Boom!
The gate was not a Charizard storing fla; the flying Water Shuriken exploded with a roar upon contact with the fortress gate, shattering the wooden gate instantly.
"Do I still need to teach you what to do next? I’ll report all your actions truthfully."
"..."
Denjiro and the others did not speak but silently drew their swords. Kozuki Hiyori was currently in the hands of the other side, leaving them almost helpless in this situation.
This was also the way the Hundred Beasts utilized these three people. Their survival carried symbolic significance, but since they were unwilling to join the Beasts Pirates, they were forced to work in this manner.
This was an experint; although they were not top combatants, they were not weak on The Sea. Such dangerous and siege-like tasks were entirely assignable to them.
Inside the Head Mountain’s fortress, the bandits, looking at the shattered gate, were yet to understand what happened when cries of kill from outside already reached them. The reward system of the Shinsengumi was simple, they paid money.
Under the lure of interest, they attacked the bandits rcilessly.
But this wasn’t the main point. These bandits were Ashura Doji’s subordinates. Seeing Denjiro leading the group, their eyes were filled with confusion.
"Lord Denjiro?!"
"Surrender... The tis have changed...."
Faced with the bandits, Denjiro had no better options. For them, Kozuki Hiyori was far more important than these people.
In the end, so chose to surrender, but those aware of their sins, knowing they couldn’t evade Wano Kuni’s laws, and those loyal to Ashura Doji did not. They picked up weapons and launched a counterattack.
This was a battle with no suspense; the bandits only had so old-fashioned muskets, which might or might not fire in such rainy weather, while the Shinsengumi wielded Wano Kuni’s newly forged equipnt.
Coupled with the three forr Oden’s retainers who had to exert themselves, the bandits were quickly annihilated.
The bandits who were criminals were easier to dispose of, but those originally loyal to Ashura Doji gave Denjiro a different look, making Denjiro’s vision even blurrier.
...
The wheels of fate continued to turn, unimpeded by the existence or demise of individuals.
The ti reached the latter half of 1505.
The World Governnt’s investigation into Purilite never ceased, but the trail abruptly ended after tracing to a Black Market in the New World, where it was Purilite’s last known location.
In today’s New World, besides the three main territories occupied by Whitebeard, Kaidou, and Charlotte Linlin, there were many buffer zones and scattered small territories.
Purilite’s disappearance location was perilous; the closest island was a Hive Island, forrly Rocks’ territory - Hive Island.
Normally, this island should have been occupied by Ochoku, a survivor of Rocks’ remnant after the Summit War, who was eventually defeated by Blackbeard, with so weird contribution from a Navy Colonel nad Coby.
It’s unclear how this colonel got involved in such a large-scale battle.
But now that Ochoku is dead, the island has beco even more chaotic, greatly increasing the difficulty of the World Governnt’s investigation.
anwhile, on Ghost Island, Elizabeth laid an egg, which was subsequently sent to the Hundred Beasts Pokemon Center, cared for by Chansey. Biologists from Ohara on Sky Island repeatedly requested and received the qualification to monitor the situation through caras.
A few scholars took turns around the clock to observe the egg, witnessing this rare miracle, though they underestimated the hatching duration of the egg.
Mandfeish gladly accepted a transfer and began appearing on Fishman Island more frequently, and his underlings, like the scholars, watched their boss, eager to see when Mandfeish would evolve.
The Hancock sisters gradually integrated into life on Ghost Island, and Olga felt she had gained a rather peculiar little sister, such as during their baths together when she sotis acted a bit inappropriately.
Aside from nurous new red crosses on the map, many things proceeded smoothly, like the plan that Tesoro proposed initially.
The Hundred Beasts Fruit underwent a large-scale restructuring. Although the company’s na remained unchanged, it gained many subsidiary departnts, transforming from its initial form into a holding company.
Paving the way with money, Tesoro also connected with so World Governnt officials. In this environnt, expanding the business couldn’t be avoided, much like welcoming the Heavenly Celestial Dragon with a smile, while cursing them internally.
Without breaking ties, only a Heavenly Celestial Dragon could counter another, as he had recently gained favor from a jewelry-loving Heavenly Celestial Dragon with a "natural" blood diamond, using him to handle another who had intentions towards Stella.
However, this also deepened his loathing for the Heavenly Celestial Dragon as a group.
