Chapter 478 Desperate Kin'emon, the young master... is dead?
Watching the children walk towards the enormous house with Nami, Usopp's face showed a hint of emotion as he said, "To think they could build such a large house in such a short time..."
It must be said that he truly lives up to his reputation as Xiyan Yao.
"With his abilities, isn't it normal for him to be able to do something like this?" Zoro laughed.
"That's true," Usopp said with a smile.
That man was, after all, the legendary Blood-Eyed Ninja!
So it's really not surprising that someone could do something like this.
Just then, a commotion came from afar, which immediately caught Usopp's attention.
"What's going on?" Usopp asked, walking over. "What are you all arguing about?"
"Kin'emon is alive!" Brook exclaimed excitedly to Usopp. "He's not dead!"
Usopp: ? ? ?
He's not dead?
What does that mean?
How could someone survive being exposed to such deadly poison gas?
With this thought in mind, Usopp walked to the other side of the stove and then noticed Kin'emon lying on the ground, panting heavily.
"He's really not dead!" Usopp exclaimed in shock.
Why is that?
Didn't Caesar say that contact with that poison gas would be fatal?
Why is Kin'emon alright?
Luffy, standing to the side, looked at Kin'emon in surprise and said, "So you're immune to toxins too!"
Amazing!
"Immune toxins?"
Kin'emon paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I do not possess such ability..."
""
Before he could finish speaking, his expression immediately turned ferocious, as if he had just thought of something.
"Momonosuke, wait for me!" Kin'emon shouted excitedly, "I'm coming to find you!"
What a blunder... what a complete blunder!
Unexpectedly, he actually killed the young master with his own hands...
Thinking of this, Kin'emon shed painful tears.
"Calm down, Kin'emon," Usopp said. "The one you killed earlier wasn't your son!"
""
"Really?!"
Kin'emon, as if grasping at a last straw, immediately revealed an excited expression and said, "That dragon really isn't Momonosuke?!"
If that's really the case... that would be wonderful!
"Of course not," Usopp said. "Zan-type Devil Fruit users revert to human form after being defeated, but that dragon didn't, so he can't be your son."
After saying that, Usopp paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides... if the other person really is your son, why doesn't he acknowledge you as his son?"
You can't expect the other person to become completely unrecognizable after turning into an animal.
That's obviously impossible!
After all, Zoan-type Devil Fruit users do not lose their minds after transforming!
"Yes...you're right!!"
As if he had figured something out, Kin'emon murmured, "If that person really is Momonosuke, he will definitely acknowledge me."
Since there isn't one, it means the other person isn't Momonosuke!
With that thought, Kin'emon relaxed completely.
Then, he turned to Brooke and said, "Speaking of which, Lord Corpse mentioned this to me before, but I was too agitated at the time, so..."
"6
"I'm sorry, Corpse Lord."
"Yohohohoho~"
Brooke chuckled and waved her hand, saying, "It's alright, I understand how you feel, so don't worry about it."
He understood why Kin'emon had become the way he was, and naturally he wouldn't blame him.
"That's good."
Kin'emon breathed a sigh of relief. If he could, he didn't want to offend these people, after all... they had saved his life.
Then, as if noticing the situation on the island, Kin'emon looked shocked and said, "This..."
Where am I?
Is this still Punk Hazard?
Could it be that the Straw Hat Pirates took him away while he was unconscious?
No, he hasn't found Momonosuke yet, he can't leave!
"This is Punk Hazard," Usopp said.
Kin'emon: ? ? ?
Upon hearing Usopp's words, Kin'emon immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Usopp with a face full of question marks.
What does it mean to say that this is Punk Hazard?
Isn't Punk Hazard a special island where ice and fire coexist?
But this is clearly a ruin now.
"I know you don't want to believe it, but..." Usopp hesitated for a moment, then continued, "It's the truth."
"What exactly happened?"
Kin'emon excitedly grabbed Usopp's shoulder and said, "Long-nosed Lord, why did you say this is Punk Hazard?"
If this really is Punk Hazard, then why has it become ruins?
"It's a long story," Usopp sighed. "A lot happened after I fell unconscious."
Seeing that Kin'emon's expression had become even more agitated than before, Usopp quickly said, "In short, a terrible explosion occurred on this island not long ago."
"It was because of this huge explosion that this place was reduced to ruins."
As he finished speaking, Usopp's expression became complicated.
Because he knew what that meant.
Under those circumstances, Kin'emon's son could not have survived.
After all... the island almost disappeared...
If it weren't for west Yan, they would have died too!
"Impossible!" Kin'emon roared excitedly, "How could there be such a terrible explosion?"
"You must be lying to me, right!"
Please, he must be lying to me!
otherwise....
Usopp fell silent upon hearing this. How was he supposed to answer that question?
Seeing Kin'emon's excited expression, Sanji sighed and then silently lit a cigarette for himself.
After finishing this task, Sanji exhaled a smoke ring and said, "Kin'emon, it's true."
"That explosion was terrifying; we were almost killed in it..."
'
If west Yan hadn't been here, they would all be dead!
Upon hearing this, Kin'emon glanced at Sanji, then at the others who remained silent, and immediately understood.
These people... were not lying.
The young master... he's really dead?!
"How...how could this be..."
Kin'emon, in despair, released his grip on Usopp's hand and said with a distraught expression, "Why did this happen?!"
What should I do?
If the young master dies... what will he do?
Did he commit seppuku?
He who let his young master die here truly doesn't deserve to live on.
Seeing Kin'emon's seemingly despondent expression, Brook paused for a moment before saying, "Mr. Kin'emon, don't be so pessimistic."
"Maybe... your son survived somewhere in the research institute?"
Although the explosion was terrifying, who knows if the research institute had any explosion protection measures?
If there were one, wouldn't the other person have survived?
"You...you mean?!"
Kin'emon suddenly looked up at Brook, his expression excited, and said, "There's still a chance Momonosuke is alive?!"
"That's possible."
Usopp opened his mouth as he listened to their conversation. He really wanted to say that such a thing was unlikely, since the research institute had basically been destroyed.
But he swallowed the words back down his throat.
Because... he cannot deprive a father of hope.
Thinking of this, Usopp sighed silently.
"Then I'm going to find him!" Kin'emon exclaimed excitedly. "I'm going over there to find him!"
Regardless of the circumstances, he needed to confirm whether his young master was still alive!
If he were still alive, that would be the time when he was most needed!
"Wait for me, young master, I'm coming to save you right away!" Kin'emon roared in his heart.
With that thought in mind, Kin'emon turned and ran off into the distance, clearly intending to go check out the research institute.
"Wait a moment!"
Sanji grabbed Kin'emon's arm, forcefully stopping him.
"Lord Sanji, what are you going to do?"
"Are you just going to go like this?" Sanji pointed in the direction of the research institute ruins and said, "Although there's not much poisonous gas left over from the explosion,... without knowing the exact location, can you find anyone?"
"What should we do then?" Kin'emon asked anxiously.
We can't just do nothing.
If the young master dies because of this... he will never be able to forgive himself!
"Of course, I'll try to help you rescue them," Sanji said calmly. "It would be best to first check if there are any special architectural features inside the research institute, such as bomb shelters or something similar."
"Then let's go find Caesar," Usopp said, glancing at Caesar. "After all, that guy knows the situation inside the research institute best."
"Yes, that's what I meant too."
After saying that, Sanji paused for a moment, then glanced at Caesar, who was bound by seastone handcuffs, and continued, "Of course, it would be even better if we could get information about where your son is from Caesar."
This way, they wouldn't have to wander around the ruins of the research institute like headless flies.
"That's right, you're right."
Kin'emon, forcing himself to calm down, said, "It would be best if we could confirm Momonosuke's location."
This way, we can rescue the young master as quickly as possible.
With that thought in mind, Kin'emon drew his sword and walked step by step toward Caesar.
"Um?"
Caesar, who was thinking about how to escape, suddenly shuddered and asked in confusion, "Why do I suddenly feel a bit of danger?"
Is it just my imagination?
Thinking of this, Caesar subconsciously looked around and then noticed Kin'emon walking towards him silently, holding a sword in his hand.
Caesar: !!!
No, what do you mean?
Is this guy here to kill him?
Thinking this, Caesar cried out in terror, "Hey, what are you trying to do, you warrior?"
"Hey, Straw Hat Boy, aren't you going to do anything about this?"
He's a very important hostage!
Luffy didn't answer, he just glanced at him and looked away.
Caesar: ? ? ?
No, what do you mean?
"tell me."
Kin'emon held his sword to Caesar's neck and asked, "Where is Momonosuke?"
Caesar was stunned when he saw the knife to his neck.
What the hell is Momonosuke?
Who is Momonosuke?
Seeing that Caesar did not answer the question, Kin'emon assumed he didn't want to answer, so he widened his eyes and said, "Tell me!"
"Where is Momonosuke?!"
"First, you have to tell me, who is Momonosuke?!" Caesar exclaimed in horror. "And could you please put the sword away? I can't transform into my elemental form right now!"
If his hand had even slipped, he could have died!
"Momonosuke is my son!"
"But I don't know your son!"
Upon hearing Caesar's terrified voice, Law instinctively turned to look at Caesar's situation and then frowned.
"What do you mean?"
west Yan, who had also noticed the situation, said, "Perhaps it's to get some information from Caesar."
"Don't worry, with Luffy and the others around, they won't really kill Caesar."
Several of Kin'emon's companions are with him, so it's impossible for him to actually kill Caesar. Therefore, west Yan has nothing to worry about.
Seeing what west Yan had said, Luo didn't say anything more.
However, his eyes did not leave his gaze; he remained fixed on the situation in the distance.
"How could you not recognize him?" Kin'emon said with a ferocious grin. "You've seen him before!"
Someone told him personally that Caesar had seen his son!
"But I..."
Before Caesar could finish speaking, he noticed the knife on his neck move slightly, which startled him so much that he immediately screamed.
"Let me think about it! Let me think about it!" Caesar cried. "Give me some time!"
Seeing that Caesar seemed to be relenting, Kin'emon gently moved the sword away, which relieved Caesar.
"Looking for my son... looking for my son..." Caesar thought to himself, annoyed. "There are so many kids in the research institute, how is anyone supposed to know which one is his son!"
That despicable samurai!
Wait a minute... a samurai?
As if he had just thought of something, Caesar's eyes immediately lit up.
"I know who you're talking about!" Caesar said. "You must be that brat with the samurai hair."
"Yes, it's him."
A glimmer of hope appeared in Kin'emon's heart, and he said, "Do you know where he is?"
If he knew where the young master was, he would rescue him as quickly as possible!
"have no idea...
'
"Um?
""
"Wait!" Caesar shouted again as he saw the knife approaching once more. "Let me think!"
Is this person sick?
Why did you hand me a knife without warning?
That could kill you!
After mentally shouting a few times, Caesar began to ponder the brat's information again.
After a moment, he said, "If I remember correctly, that kid always seemed to refuse to eat candy..."
""
Although I don't know how it happened, the kid was indeed not poisoned because of it.
"That's great!" Usopp said. "After all, that candy is poisonous!"
In this way, Kin'emon's son would not need to worry about being poisoned.
This is really good news!
Kin'emon also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his young master had always adhered to the principles of being a samurai.
Well done, young master!
In this way, you won't fall for this villain's poison!
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Kin'emon's face.
As expected of his young master!
