Onmyoji of the Grand Line

"Lord Mu Chan!"

Green, carrying the Heavenly Evil F3, bowed respectfully.

"Um?!"

Kurotan Musashi was taken aback, and asked with slight surprise, "Are you... Green?"

Green smiled and said, "Lady Muchan, under the guidance of Lord Seimei, I have made further progress!"

Seimei smiled gently and said, "This is due to Green's own efforts."

Kurozumi Musashi nodded knowingly, then looked at Yuki-onna and Hakuro with an even wider smile. "Excellent! Excellent! Yuki-onna and Hakuro's power is growing stronger and stronger; this is truly fantastic!"

"Master Harumi!"

"With the help of Lady Yuki-onna and Lady Hakuro, it will be much easier to control Wano Country in the future!"

Kurozumi Musashi spoke with a sense of relief, her words carrying a feeling of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection).

Seimei smiled and shook his head, saying, "Grandma Muchan, as you know, I don't actually like this so-called position of general. However, just as I said at the beginning, this is the fate of the Kurozumi clan. Because of this position, the Kurozumi clan has lost everything. Since that's the case, I will take this position."

"Yes!"

Kurozumi Musashi nodded respectfully without saying anything. This was something her young master had once said: he truly had no interest in the position of Shogun of Wano Country.

Actually!

Kurotan Musamura knew that if her young master had grown up normally, he should have become a respectable great swordsman or a legendary Onmyoji. Unfortunately, the family did not give the young master the right to choose. Even though he did not like it, the young master still resolutely shouldered the family's responsibilities.

"Little Lord!"

Kurotan Muchan continued her report: "The old woman has found a branch of the Kurotan clan, supposedly members of the main family. She has already sent people to search for them."

"Our family..."

Seimei pondered for a moment, then said, "Search carefully. No matter what, find as many members of the Kurozumi clan's bloodline as possible. How is Orochi doing?"

Just as Seimei said, although he was not interested in the so-called position of general, it was his fate and his duty. Therefore, he would never run away from it. On the contrary, he would work even harder to seize it. This was the responsibility he should fulfill.

That's why Seimei has always been striving to become stronger, because only by becoming stronger can he truly fulfill his responsibilities.

Kurozumi Musashi pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master, Orochi..."

"I see."

Seimei calmly said, "Let Orochi continue to handle the affairs of Wano Country's main island. Once he has finished dealing with them, then get rid of Orochi."

"Yes!"

Kurozumi Musashi acted without hesitation, displaying decisiveness and ruthlessness—qualities that a successor should possess.

Chapter 38: The Relationship Between the Two Members of the Kurozumi Family and Captain Rocks

Seimei and Kurozumi Hachiman walked deeper into Kuroba Island, crossing streams and artificial hills, and discussed many things, including the situation within Wano Country.

"Hmm~"

Seimei pondered for a moment and said, "Kanjuro's mission is too dangerous. Tell Kanjuro not to expose himself."

"Yes!"

Kurotan Muchan bowed her head respectfully, her heart filled with joy. Her young master was a decisive and ruthless heir, yet he also cherished his subordinates. Only in this way could such an heir be truly qualified!

"Grandma Muchan".

"What is your relationship with Captain Rocks?"

Seimei asked the question that had been on his mind.

8 is indeed true!

Captain Rocks' words have proven that he is definitely related to Kurozumi Musashi and Kurozumi Serimaru. That's why he finds it strange. Moreover, the mission from the Warring Kingdom was also assigned to him, which obviously indicates that there is some connection.

2. So Seimei asked the question, and while asking the question, he also casually mentioned some things.

1. "I see!"

Kurozumi Musashi didn't answer immediately, but said seriously, "Young Master, why don't you let Musashi accompany you to Hollen? Hollen is very powerful. Whether it's the World Government's reserve forces or the CP organization, it's very troublesome and difficult to deal with from all aspects, and..."

4. Seriously!

2. Kurozumi Muchan really didn't want her young master to go to Hollen if she could, as it was far too dangerous. However! With 20 Devil Fruits, and knowing Hollen's special nature, she knew that her young master would never give up such a gain.

7. For this reason, Kurozumi Higurashi thought it would be good to bring Kurozumi Semamaru along.

8 After all!

Although Kurozumi Semimaru is old, his strength is by no means weak. Yuki-onna and Hakuro are no match for him. They are real powerhouses at the level of a near-Admiral. Coupled with the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, which has unparalleled defensive power, even Admiral-level powerhouses cannot do anything to Kurozumi Semimaru.

"No need."

Seimei shook his head and refused, saying, "It's better for Semimaru to stay on Black Feather Island. There are still many things to take care of. Apart from that, I will handle this matter."

"Yes!"

Kurotan Muchan didn't try to persuade him any further. She knew very well that her young master was definitely not someone who would recklessly fight without any certainty. However, as an elder of the family, she was still quite worried!

"Ugh!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Kurozumi Musashi also let out a sigh.

"Hehehe~~~"

Seimei smiled and said, "Grandma Muchan, you don't need to be so nervous. Since I've taken on this mission, I'm confident in my abilities. Why don't you tell me about your relationship with Captain Rocks?"

"Alright!"

"Old woman, let me tell you what happened in the past."

Kurozumi Musashi also wore a smile, her eyes sparkling with reminiscence. It was something from a long time ago, something very distant!

"40 years ago."

"Ok!"

"When I was around thirty years old, I was an old woman named Chanmaru."

"After our first journey, the two of us returned to Black Feather Island."

"before that."

"Actually, the two of us met Rocks during our first journey. He was a terrifying monster among our peers! His strength was so terrifying that he was like a monster."

As Kurozumi Musashi gradually described the events, Seimei learned what had happened 40 years ago, in the previous era.

The previous era!

That was an era of many heroes rising up, including Rocks, Kurozumi Higurashi, Kurozumi Semimaru, and Alec, who was then a Marine Admiral. In that era, the heroes continued to clash time and again in the New World.

Kurozumi Hōsei and Kurozumi Semaki were among Rocks' earliest companions.

Rocks was once someone's subordinate, the Black Pearl Pirates! Who was the captain? Kurozumi Higurashi didn't say, only that he was a person forgotten by history.

Of course.

These things are not important. After that, the Black Pearl Pirates gradually became the most powerful pirate crew in the world.

Over time.

The Black Pearl Pirates also fell apart. The reason is simple: Rocks was an ambitious man. He killed the captain of the Black Pearl Pirates and modified the Black Pearl, which became the prototype of the current Xebec Sword.

after that.

The Black Pearl Pirates have split and fallen apart! Rocks has established the Rocks Pirates on the high seas, while Kurozumi Hagoromo and Kurozumi Semimaru have returned to Kuroba Island. As for the old monsters of their generation? They either chose to go into seclusion or have already been killed by Rocks.

"..."

Listening quietly to Kurozumi Musashi's description, Seimei felt as if he had returned to that turbulent era.

"really!"

"No matter when, on this vast ocean, the legends and stories will never end!"

Seimei spoke with a sigh, as if he were lamenting everything that had happened.

"Hehehe~~~"

Hei Tan Mu Chan smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, everything from the past has long since come to an end. This is a new era, an era that belongs to you, Young Master!"

Seimei smiled and said, "Perhaps!"

A smile played on his lips. This ocean was nearly ten times larger than the Blue Star he knew from his previous life, and such a vast ocean would surely produce magnificent sights at any time.

In the original work!

Four Emperors!

Your Majesty Shichibukai!

Naval Headquarters!

They represent the balance of this world, but what balance do they represent? The New World? The Grand Line? Perhaps! They only represent the balance of the New World, but what about the Four Seas? How much is hidden there?
