I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 162 Mongo: I Have No Other Interests in Wano Country.jpg
Mung felt that this so-called soul-summoning talisman no longer belonged to this world.

But in fact.

Who can say for sure?

Even though Shimotsuki Ryoma is dead, decades later, a guy named Gecko Moria will dig up Shimotsuki Ryoma's corpse and turn him into a zombie soldier under his command.

That's right, it's the same zombie soldier that the Knights of God used with the Shadow-Shadow Fruit that Lippri and the others encountered in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Although Mongols captured the knight of gods, he was unable to kill him; he only freed the shadow that the knight had taken away.

However, many years later, this knight of gods may die.

Then the fruit he possessed was lost.

In the end, he became something that would be considered a disgrace even among the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

all in all.

Monger's main goal for this trip to Wano Country is to train his crew. If he can actually cross time and fight Shimotsuki Ryoma, that would be a pleasant surprise.

After all, Shimotsuki Ryoma once repelled the World Nobles who broke into Wano Country.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Shimotsuki Ryoma may also have mastered the Haki that can break through immortality.

"That's what makes things interesting."

Monger was in a good mood, and even his gaze toward Shimotsuki Shinko and Shimotsuki Kozaburo became more pleasing.

Meanwhile, Shimotsuki Nobuko also composed herself.

Just as Shimotsuki Kozaburo was heartbroken that Tengetsu was already married, Shimotsuki Shinko also felt a little regretful that Munger already had a wife.

After all, Mongo's strength and appearance surpassed all the men she had seen in Wano Country, so how could he not make her, a young girl in the prime of her life, fall in love?

However, she met such an outstanding man before even leaving Wano Country, so she must be able to meet many more men who suit her after leaving Wano Country, right?

Thinking about this, Shimotsuki Shinko became even more eager to see the outside world.

"Munger, now it's your turn to tell us about what's happening outside!"

As mentioned before, Shimotsuki Kozaburo introduced them to the current situation in Wano Country, while Mongo told them about the world outside Wano Country.

Now that Shimotsuki Shinko has brought it up, Munger naturally won't refuse.

"Haha, where should I begin?"

Monger thought for a moment and then called to his crew.

"It's fate that we met. If you're not in a hurry to leave, we can take a short rest and then explain things slowly."

"Uh-huh!"

Shimotsuki's eyes sparkled.

She had no idea that the pirate crew the man standing before her had built was one of the most powerful forces in the world.

Not to mention the Sphinx's guards who were undergoing training.

Monger alone could probably rival the entire Wano Country.

In the end, strength reigns supreme in this vast ocean!

Shimotsuki Kozaburo hesitated, wanting to say something but then stopping himself. He wanted to say that Munger was a dangerous person, but they had already agreed on a deal, and now he was leaving without listening to anything. Wouldn't that mean he was guilty?
and.

With his sharp eyes, he noticed the two knives at Monger's waist. He didn't recognize the snow-white one, but he was very familiar with the other.

Shimotsuki Kozaburo was somewhat shocked: "That sword at your waist, could it be the Onikiri!?"

"Oh, you mean this one?"

Monger patted the black sword at his waist and laughed, "This is a trophy I got from a swordsman after a fight."

"Speaking of which, that swordsman might have some connection with your Wano Country."

"fate?"

Shigetsuki Kozaburo and Shigetsutsu Osakiko looked at each other.

The swordsman that Mongols mentioned is none other than Izabaron V. Nasujuro, one of the Five Elders. Just from his name, you can tell that Venus must have some connection with Wano Country.

It's very likely that they were from Wano Country many years ago!

However, Venus Izabaron V. Nasujuro has probably been away from Wano Country for a long time, so Shimotsuki Shinko and Shimotsuki Kozaburo have no recollection of him at all.

However, as a swordsmith, Shimotsuki Kozaburo could not possibly fail to recognize this sword.

Ghost!

One of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords!

In this era, there was only one model of Kitetsu. There was no such thing as the second or third generation Kitetsu. There was only the one that served as the prototype in the hands of Izanbaron V. Nasujuro.

That's also the most famous one!
After all, the second generation Kitetsu is only one of the twenty-one Great Grade Swords.

The Sandai Kitetsu is not even among the fifty good swords.

It's just a common, quick knife.

Therefore, seeing that Mongo had a Supreme Grade Sword in his hand, Shimotsuki Kozaburo, a swordsmith, was extremely eager to possess it.

After all, it was a work he poured his heart and soul into.

He only had two great swords; one of them was left in Wano Country, and the other was the Wado Ichimonji at his waist.

His desire to go to sea was also to seek inspiration.

The Supreme Grade Sword is the source of inspiration.

If he could forge an unparalleled great sword in his lifetime, he would have no regrets even if he died!

Samurai is just a way of life.

Forging swords is the real fun!

Seeing through Shimotsuki Kozaburo's thoughts, Mung shook his head and chuckled.

"then."

"Eh!?"

When he saw Munger throw him the priceless Supreme Grade Sword, Shimotsuki Kozaburo was immediately flustered and almost lost his grip on the sword.

"Didn't we agree before? I would explain the situation of this world to you, and this knife is included in that."

"Monger laughed."

“We’ll be staying in Wano Country for a while. You can return the sword to me when we leave.”

Aren't you afraid I'll steal the knife and run away?
Shimotsuki Kozaburo muttered to himself, "This is a Supreme Grade Sword. If it were in Wano Country, a land of samurai, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a national treasure."

"If you didn't have Onikiri, then..."

Shimotsuki Kozaburo could tell that Munger was probably also a swordsman.

I just don't know if it's a one-handed swordsman or a two-handed swordsman.

"This is all I need!"

Monger patted the long sword at his waist. What Ghostly Blade? What Supreme Grade Sword? Laughable. He wasn't familiar with it at all. He only needed Frost Shadow.

It was only then that Shimotsuki Kozaburo noticed.

Not only is the sword in his hand a Supreme Grade Sword, but the sword at Munger's waist is also one of the top-tier swords.

Frost Shadow, one of the twenty-one Great Grade Swords.

It is on the same level as the Enma and Wado Ichimonji he forged.

and.

As a swordsmith, Shimotsuki Kozaburo was completely captivated by the Kitetsu, neglecting the other sword at Mung's waist.

This is enough to explain the characteristics of a knife.

Reserved!

Only when his attention was fully focused on Frost Shadow did Shimotsuki Kozaburo faintly sense an aura from the sword that made his heart pound.

Black knife!

If we say that the Onikiri in his hand is because it was forged in an ancient era and has been tempered by countless people, it has finally reached the level of a black sword.

What about the frost-covered mark on Monge's waist?

Although Wano Country is closed off, it still has some knowledge of the world's top swords.

The time when Frostshadow appeared in this world.

Probably no more than fifty years!

In just fifty years, Frostbone showed signs of transforming from an ordinary Great Grade Sword into a Black Sword—no, it shouldn't be called signs.

It seems that it's only one step away from completely turning into a black blade.

It is possible to do this.

What level of powerful individuals possessed it in the past?

Shimotsuki Kozaburo was somewhat terrified.

He hadn't considered that Frost Shadow had been using Monge's sword from beginning to end.

After all, Munger doesn't look old.

She's at most ten years older than him!
Moreover, this was inferred from Munger's mature and composed demeanor. (Little sister)
When Shimotsuki Kozaburo saw Shimotsuki Shinko chatting away next to Munger, his heart skipped a beat. She was clearly an unmarried woman, yet she was standing so close to a strange man.

Forget it.

Those who take people have short hands and eat people with soft mouths.

Shimotsuki Kozaburo thought that if Munger was willing to use the Onikiri as a betrothal gift, then even his father would probably agree to the marriage.

All I can say is, you're overthinking it.

Although Shimotsuki Shinko is playful and cute, her eyes still hold the innocent naiveté of a young girl, giving the impression that she could be easily tricked into bed.

But that's precisely why girls like this should be treated well.

and.

Monger wouldn't stoop to having any feelings for a girl he'd just met.

Amatsuki and Liprit are still right there!

Poke~
Lipriy, now back to normal size, sat next to Monger, occasionally poking his lower back with her finger, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

After all, she had just heard it.

Meng Ge personally acknowledged that Tian Yue Shi was his wife, but he never publicly acknowledged her in this way!

The girl is extremely jealous.

Then, without warning, Lipriy was pulled into Monger's arms.

"Also, let me introduce you. Although Lipri is my crew member and also my wife, we have been unable to prepare a proper wedding because we have been sailing at sea all this time. This is my dereliction of duty as a man."

Monger gently kissed Lipriy's forehead, and in front of a group of people, Lipriy almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Monger introduced the world situation and explained their predicament.

Because they are enemies of the Celestial Dragons.

Therefore, Monger had to be careful in many things.

If one day...

He really wanted to enjoy happy times with Lipley and the others.

Then the Celestial Dragons must die!
Since we've already offended them, we must nip it in the bud and eliminate any future troubles!
The World Government, the Celestial Dragons.

Navy, pirates.

Governmental member states, non-governmental member states.

Wano Country had been closed off from the world for many years, and its people knew very little about the outside world. Monger's explanation helped Shimotsuki Shinko and Shimotsuki Kozaburo fill in this gap.

Of course, Shimotsuki Shinko definitely remembered the knowledge that Munger had shared.

But whether Shimotsuki Kozaburo remembered it or not is hard to say.

Forget about Shimotsuki Shinji; with his mind completely focused on the Supreme Grade Sword in his hand, Shimotsuki Kozaburo had even forgotten their original purpose.

So much so.

"Kozaburo, vibrator!!"

A powerful roar suddenly rang out, startling Shimotsuki Kozaburo, who was immersed in his own world. When he saw a short-haired man leading a large group of samurai charging towards them, he was immediately panicked.

"Uncle Fengye!?"

Even Shimotsuki Shinko, who was sitting next to Monger listening to his stories, was shocked when she saw the samurai.

"Father!?"

That's right, the one who arrived with a large group of samurai was the current head of the Shimotsuki family and the daimyo of the Suzugo region in Wano Country.

He is also Shimotsuki Shinko's father.

Shimotsuki Shinko and Shimotsuki Kozaburo left without Shimotsuki Fuya's knowledge. Now that they see Shimotsuki Fuya running over with a group of people, how could they not be alarmed?

[Ding! A daimyo has been spotted in the Ringo region of Wano Country. Defeating him will reward you with a Soul Summoning Seal.]

Ok?
Upon seeing the system notification, Mung looked at Shimotsuki Shinobu beside him, and then at Shimotsuki Kazeya who was rushing towards them.

The corners of his mouth curled up.

He suddenly leaned close to Shimotsuki Nobuko and asked, "Miss Nobuko, do you still want to leave Wano Country?"

Seeing Monger suddenly approaching her, Shimotsuki Nobuko's heart skipped a beat.

But I was worried that my father might catch me.

They might just be sent to marry the little devil from the Fengyue family.

Thinking of this, Shimotsuki Shinoko gritted her teeth and nodded heavily.

"I want to leave!"

"Haha, since that's the case, then from now on you are our prisoners!"

Monger's gaze sharpened.

Apart from Shimotsuki Shinko and Shimotsuki Kozaburo, all the other Shimotsuki family members who wanted to go to sea collapsed on the ground.

Then he beckoned.

A ring of cold air suddenly rose from Shimotsuki Kozaburo's body.

"what is this?"

Shimotsuki Kozaburo tried to touch the cold air ring, but as soon as he did, a bone-chilling cold emanated from it, and his entire body instantly froze into frost.

It’s so cold!

"Haha, I suggest you don't touch this. This is an ability I developed specifically to imprison strong individuals like you."

Simple freezing is either too weak, in which case the body may break free easily, or too strong, in which case it may cause irreversible damage to the body.

Therefore, Monge developed this cooling ring.

If you don't touch the air conditioning ring, nothing will happen.

But once you touch the air conditioning ring...

The more intense the resistance, the more pronounced the effect of freezing the body.

Upon hearing Monger's words, Shimotsuki Kozaburo expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Then why am I the only one being controlled? Why is Zhenzi unaffected?"

"Of course it's because..."

Monger looked at Shimotsuki Kozaburo and grinned.

"She's my key bargaining chip!"

Of course, before negotiating, Monger first needs to demonstrate his side's strength.

Shimotsuki Kazeya is quite strong.

Just as Shimotsuki Kozaburo said, Wano Country is not lacking in samurai stronger than him.

After all, although Wano Country in this era experienced the rebellion of the Kurozumi family, the damage it suffered was far less severe than in later generations.

Therefore, it's not just about frost, moon, and wind.

Among that group of samurai alone, Monger discovered several strong individuals whose strength was no less than that of Shimotsuki Kozaburo, with the strongest of them being Shimotsuki Fuya.

He is the current head of the Shimotsuki family and also the daimyo of the Suzugo region.

Frost Moon Wind's strength is already close to the 200 million level.

"Lipri, you're in charge of dealing with Shimotsuki Kaze."

"Newgate, Lingling."

"You two deal with the other stronger warriors."

"Shiki, Zefa, Stussy, Crane."

"The rest of the warriors are yours!"

With a wave of his hand, Monger immediately assigned tasks to his crew members.

"Ugh, I want to go too!?"

Pointing to himself, Stussy looked at Monger with disbelief.

"Of course!"

Why didn't you go then?

"She's injured!"

Stussy was only stunned for a moment before realizing what Monger meant by "injury." It was thanks to her help that Amatsuki was able to get "injured."

The thought of this made Stusch grit his teeth.

"Hmph, fine, I'll go!"

He's almost a master of the Six Powers, and with Munger watching over him, there's practically no risk in dealing with weaker samurai.

Shimotsuki Shinko then realized what was happening.

Monger's plan was simply to use the Shimotsuki family as a springboard to attack Wano Country.
Upon realizing this, Shimotsuki Shinko immediately became anxious.

"You bastard Mongo, you still say you have no designs on Wano Country!?"
