Next, Al began to recount his experiences during the World Conference.
To celebrate the success of the operation, El took out the delicious ingredients obtained from the Celestial Dragons' granary and gave them to Nojigo to prepare a sumptuous meal.
As for the matter of the items marked by the Knights of God, Al was not aware of it.
However, since his black hole space has an almost static time characteristic, El plans to store all these foods in the black hole space as the future food warehouse of the El Pirates.
As long as El does not use those exquisitely crafted tableware, even if they have been bound to the life paper, Shamrock and his Knights of God will not be able to find El's exact location through the life paper because these items are always in a different space.
Soon, the delicious dishes carefully prepared by Nojigo were served and filled the entire dining table.
When everyone started to taste these dishes made with precious ingredients, an indescribable deliciousness spread in the mouth instantly, as if the most essence of nature was brought directly to the tip of the tongue.
Whether it is tender and juicy meat or fresh and refreshing vegetables, they are all transformed into amazing delicacies under Nojiko's skillful hands.
This meal has special meaning for Al and his companions.
Because Reiju is about to leave them and go to Alabasta with the territory of the Germa Kingdom, using the resources there to usher in a new era of the Germa Empire.
"This meal is really great," Reiju said softly, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Everyone looked at Reiju who was about to leave with some reluctance, and the dinner was carried out in a warm and slightly sad atmosphere, with everyone enjoying this rare moment of gathering.
El looked at the atmosphere in front of him and said, "Don't look so sad. When we leave Wano Country, we will also go to Alabasta. Then we can continue to see each other."
Everyone felt better after hearing what Al said. Nami even joked, "Captain Al, your second child will be born soon."
Her words were full of lightness and joy, trying to add a warm atmosphere to this farewell dinner.
However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
After hearing what Nami said, Reiju fell into deep thought.
Her gaze became distant and her thoughts seemed to drift to some place that only she could reach.
After a long moment, Reiju's face flushed slightly. She quietly took out her cell phone and quickly typed a line of words on the screen: "El, I can be like Hancock and Vivi."
But when she was about to click send, her inner shyness made her finger stop in mid-air and she couldn't press it any further.
Although the atmosphere after dinner was still lively, Reiju's heart was no longer here.
She knew very well what this message meant. It was not only a confession of her feelings, but also a commitment to the future.
It was not until she said goodbye to everyone and was alone that she finally mustered up the courage to send the edited message.
As the message was sent, Reiju felt relieved, as if a huge stone in her heart had finally fallen to the ground.
She had no idea what kind of response this message would bring.
But she knew it was a step she had to take.
At this moment, her mood was complicated and excited. She had both expectations for the future and worries about being rejected.
When Reiju led the Germa Kingdom to Alabasta, Nami also spread the sails and steered the Orange Windmill towards Wano Country.
At this moment, El was sitting in the captain's room, holding his phone tightly in his hand. The message on the screen was from Reiju: "El, I can be like Hancock and Vivi."
Al sighed, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and complicated emotions, not knowing how to respond to this message.
In Reiju's eyes, she really couldn't clear herself from this.
Perhaps, in everyone's eyes, his reputation as a lustful man has long been deeply rooted.
Chapter 236 Arrival at Wano Country
Finally, Al put his phone down, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.
His current true form is a dragon. Let’s talk about this matter after we return to Alabasta.
As for Shakya, after the discussion with Jiazhi, he had returned to the moon.
Inspired by El, several of Vegapunk's clones were equipped with green blood made from the bloodline factor of the bear.
With the ability of the Meat-Globe Fruit, these clones can now appear freely anywhere, greatly enhancing their flexibility of movement.
Before he left, he had read out all the information about the loan shark king's funds and the location of the warehouses of the old warehousing business that Dr. Vegapunk had read out, and he handed all this data to Reiju.
Under Reiju's close contact and Sabo's careful planning, the Revolutionary Army launched a bold operation, targeting the material reserves of the loan shark king and the old warehouse owners.
The four commanders of the revolutionary army in the four seas set up a dragnet and launched attacks in various places at the same time, seizing a large amount of supplies and funds.
After this victory, the Revolutionary Army took part of the spoils, and the remaining supplies were transported to Alabasta via ships from all over the world.
After editing the mission to find and kill the user of the Pen-Pen Fruit, Al, with the help of detection skills, commanded the Orange Windmill to Wano Country.
And in the land of Wano Country, Momonosuke finally met his grandfather Kotsuki Sukiyaki.
At the same time, the nine red scabbards who were loyal to Kozuki Oden, except for Kawamatsu who was imprisoned in Usagi Prison and Cat and Dog who were rushing to Wano Country, the remaining six have continued to gather under Momonosuke.
Denjiro still lurks beside Yamato in disguise as Kyoshiro, secretly delivering much-needed supplies to Kotsuki Sukiyaki.
Originally, when Denjiro brought Sukiyaki and the others to find Ashura Douji, the other party was unmoved by Kyoshiro's request.
Ashura Douji admired Oden and became his retainer, not because he was a vassal of the Kozuki clan.
However, he still chose to shelter them for the sake of the name of Shimotsuki Yasushi.
Later, under the persuasion of Kin'emon, the leader of the Nine Red Scabbards, the heart that was almost dead due to the tragic sacrifice of the samurai on Onigashima ten years ago, was revived again.
During the more than 20 years of Kurozumi Orochi's brutal rule, the people of Wano Country suffered from oppression and exploitation and lived in misery.
Farmlands are abandoned, food is scarce, and people are struggling for basic survival every day.
The greed and cruelty of Kurozumi Orochi destroyed all the foundations of the country, making them miss the peace that the Kozuki family once brought.
However, in the past year, Yamato has made great efforts to improve the people's livelihood in Wano Country because he listened to El's advice.
Under her governance, the first thing she did was to solve the most pressing food problem left behind by the Kurozumi Snake.
At the same time, she also set up public canteens to ensure that even the poorest families had food to eat and clothes to wear.
As the days passed, these practical measures gradually won her the hearts of the people and they began to accept Yamato's rule.
When Al arrived at Jiulitou Mountain, both Cat and Dog had already arrived there.
What surprised him a little but was also reasonable was that the Straw Hat Pirates were also among them.
Seeing El's arrival, Luffy's fighting spirit was completely ignited.
Luffy, who has always aimed to become the Pirate King, also wants to be like El and have the strength to rival the Four Emperors.
"Al, let me do it this time. I want to challenge Kaido with my own strength."
Luffy's voice was filled with determination, and every word revealed his anticipation for this battle.
After hearing this, Al showed a meaningful smile and responded: "No problem, Luffy, this time I am only responsible for holding Kaido's daughter back, the rest is up to you and the Nine Red Scabbards."
However, the shopkeeper Cat Viper could no longer hold back and asked angrily, "Al, we have eight of the Nine Red Scabbards now. Who is the undercover? Find him for us. I will tear him into pieces with my own hands."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the people on the field suddenly changed and they showed shocked expressions.
The most shocked was Kanjuro. A trace of panic flashed across his eyes for a moment, but he quickly concealed his inner turmoil.
He said, "Could it be He Song? All of us have gathered here, but only He Song is missing."
Although he tried to make his tone sound natural, the barely concealed panic still couldn't escape Al's sharp eyes.
However, there was another person on the field who was even angrier than Cat Viper. When Ashura Douji heard Cat Viper mention the existence of an undercover agent, he recalled those warriors who sacrificed their lives for their ideals ten years ago.
He said with bloodshot eyes: "Is there really an undercover among us? I must kill him with my own hands."
Al nodded and said slowly: "Among the Nine Red Scabbards, there is indeed an undercover agent from the Kurozumi family, but he is not Kawamatsu. As you all know, Kawamatsu is a fishman and not a member of the Kurozumi family."
These words were like a heavy hammer, shattering the last bit of hope in Kanjuro's heart.
Hearing what El said, Kanjuro became even more panicked, his eyes wavering, as if he was looking for a way to escape from here.
Kin'emon asked with a sad look in his eyes: "Sir Al, please tell us who betrayed Lord Oden."
They had just traveled from the past to twenty years later, and the death of Kozuki Oden seemed to be just around the corner. The pain still deeply hurt his heart.
Al looked at the people in front of him, beckoned to the newly married Brin to come forward to help, and explained: "If I directly point out who the undercover is, no matter what evidence there is, the person I point out will definitely not accept it."
Everyone nodded in agreement with Al's words, their eyes revealing a desire for the truth.
Al pointed at Brin beside him and said, "The lady next to me can extract fragments of other people's memories and show them to everyone, just like Kanjuro can make the things he draw become real."
Hearing this, Kanjuro's heart sank to the bottom. His heart was filled with struggle and anxiety, and he kept wondering whether the other party was cheating him.
He knew that once his secret was exposed, an inescapable fate would await him.
Just as Kanjuro was hesitating, suddenly, a huge dragon claw transformed by El grabbed him and made him completely unable to move.
This sudden restraint terrified Kanjuro. He tried to break free but to no avail. He could only watch what happened next.
Following Al's instructions, Brin began to use her abilities, reaching into Kanjuro's forehead and pulling out fragments of his memories.
Those memories unfolded slowly in the air like slides, and soon Brin found the memory fragments she needed.
She showed these clips in front of everyone, and Kin'emon and others clearly saw how Kanjuro in the video secretly passed information to Kurozumi Orochi.
Every detail was clear and revealed his betrayal beyond any doubt.
Seeing these scenes, the expressions of the Nine Red Scabbards turned from shock to anger, and Kanjuro completely lost the chance to defend himself. His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of despair and fear.
Everyone's eyes were filled with incredible anger.
"Why? Why did you do this?" Kin'emon's voice trembled, his eyes full of pain, "Lord Oden has been very kind to you, why did you betray us?"
Ashura Douji's eyes turned red with anger, his nails almost dug into his palms from his clenched fists, his voice filled with anger, "You bastard, how can you be worthy of those warriors who died in the battle of Onigashima?"
Facing the angry and disappointed gazes of the crowd, Kanjuro was silent for a moment, as if he had finally decided not to hide it anymore.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a complex emotion, and said: "Just because my name is Kurozumi Kanjuro."
After hearing his answer, Ashura Boy and Cat Viper could no longer suppress their anger.
There was raging anger in their eyes as they drew out their weapons at the same time. The friction of metal made a harsh sound and drew two cold arcs in the air.
Immediately afterwards, a muffled sound broke the brief silence, and Kanjuro's body drooped limply, and blood quickly dyed the ground beneath his feet red.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the hearts of the Nine Red Scabbards were filled with mixed emotions, including anger towards the betrayer and mourning for his passing.
Al noticed that the Bibi Fruit had been reborn in his mission space, and then he let go of Kanjuro's body and put it aside with satisfaction.
He said to Kin'emon: "I will lead our people to the Flower Capital. All you have to do is focus on defeating Kaido on Onigashima. As long as he fails, I will take away the current General Yamato and return Wano Country to the Kozuki clan."
Kin'emon didn't know much about El, and was filled with caution and doubt.
He frowned slightly and asked Al: "Sir Al, can you really do this?"
El nodded and replied: "It is not difficult to get Yamato to return the position of general, but if you don't have the strength to defeat Kaido, all this will be meaningless."
At this time, Luffy stood up, with a fiery fighting spirit in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, I will definitely defeat Kaido."
El smiled and looked at Luffy, "I also believe that you can do it, Luffy."
Then he said to Usopp and the others: "Don't worry even if you lose in the front. Kaido likes to recruit subordinates. Those who refuse to obey him will only be thrown into prison. At least their lives will not be in danger. I will only take action after all of you are captured."
Luffy looked a little angry, he put his hands on his hips, "I won't lose!"
After discussing with the Nine Red Scabbards, Kozuki Sukiyaki found him with Momonosuke.
There was a hint of anticipation in Kozuki Momonosuke's eyes, and his little face flushed slightly, making him look both nervous and excited.
"Al," Kozuki Sukiyaki began, "Momonosuke has been missing his sister, Hiyori. He wants to know, how is she doing now?"
Hearing Sukiyaki's question, Al smiled and said, "Hiyori is living a good life now. She is now loved by the general public."
After saying that, Al took out a hand-cranked radio and Den Den Mushi that he had prepared long ago.
He flicked the switch lightly and adjusted the frequency expertly until a soft sound slowly flowed out.
This is a heart-to-heart radio program hosted by Hiyori Kozuki.
At this moment, she was having a cordial conversation with the people on the phone, listening to their stories and giving them support and encouragement.
As the call came to an end, Hiyori hummed a melodious tune. The sound was like a clear mountain stream, flowing into the hearts of the listeners.
Momonosuke's eyes were fixed on the radio, as if he wanted to see his sister through the small speaker.
El said softly, "This is the show she hosts. As for this Den Den Mushi, you can contact her directly."
It was something that Hiyori had specially asked someone to send to the Sabaody Archipelago a long time ago, and later it was sent to Dressrosa through the local Chamber of Commerce.
However, due to Wano Country's policy of isolation, it was not until the arrival of El that the Den Den Mushi was successfully handed over to Sukiyaki.
