She curtsied to Qian He and said softly,
"My lord, it is a great honor to attend the banquet with you. You can just call me Xiao Zi."
"Hmm? Ma'am, you seem to know me?"
"No, I just sensed your aura and wanted to get to know you. Also, I believe General Orochi would also like to get to know a strong person like you."
"Hehe, I'm not interested in any generals, I just want to visit that general's mansion."
Hearing Chiga's disrespectful tone towards Kurozumi Orochi, Hiyori was even more pleased. It seemed that this person had no interest in Kurozumi Orochi's status as a general. Wouldn't that make it easier to use him to kill Kurozumi Orochi?
Hiyori harbored deep disgust for Orochi, but she still expressed it verbally.
"My lord, you should watch your words. General Orochi has a bad temper."
Chiga didn't say anything, but just smiled at Hiyori. Hiyori felt uncomfortable under Chiga's gaze, as if all her secrets were being exposed to those purple eyes.
Not daring to meet Chiga's Rinnegan eyes any longer, Hiyori quickly turned her head away, leading the way while feigning composure as she spoke.
"We still don't know the adult's name."
"Uchiha Chika".
"So it's Lord Chiga. Lord Chiga isn't a resident here, is he? Did you come here with your lover?"
Upon hearing the word "lover," Kalifa blushed, but immediately spoke up to explain.
"We don't..."
However, Chiga interrupted her directly.
"We're not here for sightseeing."
After speaking, Chiga gently tightened his grip on her hand. Kalifa glanced at Chiga shyly, but was overjoyed inside. Chiga had only denied the purpose of their visit, without elaborating on the word "lover."
Whether it was intentional or not, Kalifa felt that her journey to Wano Country was complete.
Seeing the exchange of glances between Chiga and Kalifa, Hiyori felt a pang of envy. Because of her background, such a relationship was impossible for her.
But thinking of her dead parents and missing brother, Hiyori's eyes quickly hardened again. For her now, nothing else mattered except revenge.
Hiyori's expression returned to normal, and she continued with the previous question.
"Then why has Your Excellency come here...?"
"I'm here to run some official business, and incidentally kill someone."
Murder? Upon hearing this word, Hiyori was startled and stopped thinking about the official business Chiga mentioned.
Coming to Wano Country to kill someone? Given the power Senga has displayed, who could he possibly be specifically coming here to kill? The only ones of significant importance are Kurozumi Orochi or… Kaido?!
Thinking of Kaido, Hiyori felt a strong hatred, but even stronger than hatred was fear.
She hated Kaido for boiling her father, Kozuki Oden, to death, but Kaido's almost invincible power made her feel incredibly powerless and terrified.
So even though she knew that Chika was also a terrifyingly strong person, she didn't think about whether Chika could kill Kaido; she just wanted him to kill Orochi.
Moreover, she wasn't a bad person at heart; she felt that with the aura Chiga displayed, killing Orochi would be more than enough.
However, facing Kaido was still too dangerous, and she didn't want such a young and powerful person to perish under Kaido's spiked club.
Hiyori never expected that the person Chiga wanted to kill wasn't Orochi, nor Kaido, but her useless older brother, Momonosuke.
Wano Country, Shogun's Mansion
In the purple Mediterranean Sea, a black charcoal serpent wearing a golden crown excitedly approached Hiyori and reached out to hug her.
However, this time Hiyori unusually avoided it and even glanced at Chiga behind her.
Orochi then noticed Chiga and Kalifa behind Hiyori. Seeing Chiga's face, which was completely different from his own, Orochi frowned, feeling displeased.
But when he saw Kalifa, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. How come he had never seen such a beautiful woman before?
After thinking for a moment, he didn't press Hiyori further, but instead asked,
"Little Purple, who are these two?"
"This gentleman's name is Uchiha Chika, and over there is his lover, Kalifa."
"Uchiha Chika? That name sounds so familiar?"
Because Kaido was protecting him, Orochi was not afraid of the World Government or the Navy at all. He only knew about Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the three Admirals. He hadn't cared much about the others since he became the Shogun of Wano Country.
Although the name sounded familiar, he couldn't remember who it was after thinking for a long time, so he stopped thinking about it and looked at Kalifa with a lewd expression.
"Alright, since you're Xiao Zi's guest, come on over. You, Qian He, go find a seat. This Ms. Kalifa, please have a drink with me!"
This flippant tone directly enraged Kalifa. Apart from Chika, she was indifferent to any man. How dare this Kurozumi Orochi, who looked like a giant wild boar, say such a thing?
Kalifa's long legs, hidden beneath her kimono, twitched slightly, ready to deliver a powerful kick that would send the black charcoal serpent to its doom.
However, before she could make a move, a terrifying repulsive force erupted, and Orochi's lewd smile was still on his face when he was thrown away. The entire building was also shaken into a pile of ruins by this repulsive force.
Chiga stood quietly in a clean, circular clearing amidst the ruins, with Hiyori looking dazed and Kalifa looking indifferent beside her.
The commotion caused a stir, and the henchmen of the general's mansion rushed over. They were all stunned to see the snake's dwelling reduced to ruins. One of the henchmen, seeing Qianhe standing clean in the middle, angrily shouted...
"Who are you? Where is General Orochi?!"
Chiga stood still, coldly glancing at the henchman who had spoken earlier. Locked onto by the Rinnegan, the henchman suddenly felt a strange fear.
Before he could speak again, his clothes suddenly billowed out, and then...
Bang!
The henchman's body exploded like fireworks, turning into a cloud of bloody smoke that filled the air.
The surrounding henchmen were immediately terrified by this horrific scene. They looked at Chiga with trembling eyes, and like the other henchman, they met Chiga's Rinnegan gaze.
Bang bang bang!
Under a clear sky, a series of explosions rang out, and clusters of blood-red fireworks rose up throughout the general's mansion, creating a truly eerie scene.
Chapter 123 The Death of Kurozumi Orochi
Hiyori was also seeing such a massacre for the first time. A strong smell of blood hit her face, and she turned pale. She hurriedly threw off her specially made wooden clogs and bent down to gag a few times.
After getting rid of her wooden clogs, Hiyori's height dropped to about 1.7 meters, making her look much shorter.
Compared to Hiyori, Kalifa looked much better. She habitually made the motion of pushing up her glasses, but since she wasn't wearing them today, she pushed them directly onto the bridge of her nose, letting out a cute "Eh!" which amused Chiga.
Hiyori slowly straightened up, glanced at Chiga with fear on her face, and then turned her head away. She dared not think about recruiting Chiga anymore; what had just happened was too terrifying.
Kalifa looked around and found that apart from the three people there, there was no other living person in sight. She looked at Qianhe and said,
"Boss, where should we go now? To Ghost Island?"
Hiyori, who was standing nearby, was startled when she heard that the two were going to Oni Island. She mustered up her courage and asked...
"You two are going to Onigashima? That's Kaido's stronghold. Don't you know Kaido?"
Chiga didn't even glance at Hiyori, and said indifferently,
"I know, it's just one of the Four Emperors' crews, nothing to worry about."
It's just one of the Four Emperors' crews...
Hiyori felt her brain wasn't quite working properly. Aren't the Four Emperors the most powerful groups on this sea? How come this man was talking about them like some ordinary civilian organization?
She couldn't help but ask,
"May I ask who you are?"
Chiga didn't say anything this time. He didn't like Hiyori to begin with, so why should he answer her questions?
Kalifa, however, looked at Chihiro and said in a proud tone,
"My boss is a vice admiral in the navy, codename Purple Scale!"
Chika glanced at Kalifa helplessly and said,
"Alright, my name is useless in Wano Country. We should get down to business."
After saying that, Chiga suddenly stretched out her hand in the direction where the giant snake had been thrown away and said...
"Before we get down to business, there's still one piece of trash we haven't taken care of, Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Guidance."
Buzz! Countless pebbles were pulled toward Chiga by gravity, and among them was a huge figure, none other than Kurozumi Orochi.
Kalifa and Hiyori were both shocked to see Orochi. How did this guy survive such an attack?
*Snap!* Orochi's neck was grabbed by Chiga. He stared at Chiga in disbelief, not understanding how Chiga knew he was still alive.
He knew that he couldn't get away with it by relying on his Devil Fruit powers, but he still had some confidence, which came from Kaido.
Orochi quickly brought up his lifeline, Kaido, and shouted,
"You can't kill me! If you kill me, Kaido won't let you get away with it. I'm the Shogun of Wano Country!"
"Oh? You're one of Kaido's men? Then you deserve to die even more."
Chiga unleashed a dazzling purple lightning bolt from his hand, which instantly spread to the entire body of the Kurozumi Orochi. After letting out a miserable scream, the Orochi's eyes rolled back in its head.
However, Chiga still showed no intention of letting go. He knew that this guy was a user of the Mythical Zoan type, Yamata no Orochi Fruit, and had eight lives.
Sure enough, Orochi regained consciousness shortly afterward. He looked at Chiga in fear, thinking to himself,
"What's going on? He knows about my Devil Fruit ability!?"
Before he could think any further, purple lightning flashed again on Chiga's hand. Kurozumi Orochi's pupils shrank, and he forcefully broke free from Chiga's hand, jumped to an open space, and used his Devil Fruit ability to transform into a monster with eight heads.
Of course, Chiga deliberately let him go, just to see the effect of the Yamata no Orochi fruit. Otherwise, even ten more Kurozumi Orochi wouldn't be able to break free from his grasp.
Chiga examined the current appearance of Kurozumi Orochi. His skin had turned green, and he had eight snake-like necks, with the middle neck being a darker color.
Looking at the black charcoal serpent, Chika shook her head. It was indeed too ugly. It was better not to absorb it. She would keep it for now and wait until she found a suitable person to absorb it.
Thinking of this, Qianhe's arm became entirely elemental. He raised his arm, and a bolt of purple lightning shot into the sky.
Boom boom boom boom!
Five bolts of purple lightning struck the black charcoal serpent in succession, and its five green heads closed their eyes one after another, leaving only the last darker-colored head.
Chiga used Universal Pull again to pull Orochi over. This time, he didn't give him any chance to speak and directly used the abilities of the Human Path and Preta Path of the Rinnegan to pull out Orochi's soul along with his Devil Fruit power.
This time, Orochi could no longer be resurrected. His body was casually thrown away by Chiga like trash. Orochi, who had only been a general for a few years, died in his general's mansion.
