On a large ship of the Beast Pirates, Kaido's face was grim. His All-Stars didn't dare to make a sound. Anyone who wasn't a fool could see that Kaido was very angry.
"Have you found anything?"
Kaido spoke, his voice like a muffled thunder, making people's ears hurt.
"We did... That Shin Uzumaki, not long ago—he severely injured Marine Fleet Admiral Kong. Now Kong's life and death are unknown. Then Shin Uzumaki came to the New World—to Wano Country." King the Conflagration, one of the All-Stars, said to Kaido.
As the strongest of the All-Stars, Kaido's strongest subordinate, King's strength was very powerful. He had the record of kicking Big Mom into amnesia.
————
"SEVERELY INJURED STEEL BONE KONG!!"
Kaido clenched his fists tightly. If he had heard this intel before seeing Shin Uzumaki, he might not have believed it.
But now, Kaido absolutely believed this intel was true. Though he hadn't fought a life-or-death battle with Shin—Kaido knew he was no match.
If there had been even a sliver of a chance, Kaido wouldn't have abandoned the favorable situation in Wano Country and fled in disgrace.
"Captain, how about we all go together and wipe out that Shin Uzumaki?"
Jack the Drought asked Kaido.
"..." Kaido glanced at Jack the Drought coldly. He was no match. What good would it do to bring all the members of the Beast Pirates?
The Beast Pirates were not as strong as they would be in the future, but the All-Stars had already gathered. But even so, Kaido had no confidence that he could defeat Shin Uzumaki with the three of them.
————
"Leave Wano Country." Kaido gave the order, swallowing his humiliation.
As for the military factories in Wano Country, Kaido didn't want them anymore. He threw them all away. He'd think of a way to get them back in the future if he had the chance.
"I'll remember this. One day, I'll pay it back." Kaido's gaze fixed on the direction of Wano Country.
Shin still didn't know that he had earned the hatred of one of the future Four Emperors.
If Shin didn't want to let Kaido go, Kaido would have been killed by Shin long ago. The fact that Kaido could keep his life was entirely due to Shin letting him go.
————
The news of Kaido's setback in Wano Country quickly spread. As for what exactly happened within Wano, no one knew. But the matter of Shin going to Wano Country was not a secret. After all, Shin's ship was still parked at the port.
"Wano Country has experienced great turmoil. According to intel from our internal sources, Kozuki Oden was killed by Kaido and Orochi. And Orochi died at the hands of Shin Uzumaki."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said to the other Five Elders. He glanced at the bald Five Elder in a white robe.
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro held a sword very similar to the Sandai Kitetsu, his face expressionless. He didn't seem to care much about the mention of Wano.
"Is Shin Uzumaki related to Wano Country? From his name, it can be inferred that he is from Wano..." Saint Topman Warcury guessed.
"Very likely. Only by coming from Wano could we not be able to investigate his identity," Saint Marcus Mars strongly agreed with Saint Topman Warcury's guess.
"Then how should we treat him?" Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro finally spoke, asking the other Five Elders.
Shin Uzumaki had become famous in one battle. Even the Five Elders had to pay attention. After all, they were very clear about Kong's strength.
Kong's strength was not weaker than any of them. Though he was eighty years old—thanks to good medical conditions, his strength could still be maintained at its peak.
Unlike pirates, the Marines had an advantage, which was medical conditions. Their peak period was longer than pirates. People of the same era, perhaps the Marine side was still going strong, but the pirates were plagued by injuries.
"Let CP0 continue to investigate secretly. If necessary, we will eliminate him with all our might."
The Five Elders finally reached a unified opinion. If necessary, they would act together to eliminate this threat, Shin Uzumaki.
Powerful and uncontrollable, that was a huge threat.
Whether it was the Marines, the pirates—or the World Government, at this moment, they all wanted to know Shin's information.
But they probably wouldn't be able to find out about Shin, because Shin was not from this world.
Could they investigate and find out Shin was a transmigrator?
————
The matter of Wano Country came to a temporary end.
At this time, the supreme leader of Wano Country was dead, but no one went to snatch the position of shogun.
Shin was still in Wano Country—and the daimyos of various places in Wano were well aware. No one would be foolish enough to jump out at this time.
The once-prosperous Flower Capital had now become the most chaotic place, even comparable to the former Kuri.
And Shin, who was being investigated by all parties, was currently in front of a waterfall. Shin had built a house here.
He didn't have to worry about food; he could just go out and buy some.
At this moment, Shin was guiding Hancock's swordsmanship.
"Actually, the simpler the move, the greater the power it can unleash."
Shin's swordsmanship had no fancy moves. It was purely swordsmanship trained for killing. The sword aura was also one of overwhelming force.
"Watch."
Shin drew the Kusanagi Blade and swung it towards the waterfall in front of him. With one slash, he cut the waterfall in two. The falling water was unable to fall due to the influence of the sword aura.
"Using sword aura and sword momentum to influence the operation of nature." Shin said to Hancock with a smile.
Now Shin was wholeheartedly teaching Hancock. Robin had already given up on practicing swordsmanship because Robin was not suitable for it.
Robin had no talent in this aspect. Her greatest talent was deciphering the Poneglyphs.
"Shin, Your swordsmanship may not be suitable for Hancock..."
Olvia walked to Shin's side and said seriously to him.
Shin was stunned for a moment—then fell into deep thought. He found that what Olvia said seemed to be right.
His swordsmanship might not be suitable for Hancock. Only with his strength could he unleash that power.
Even if Hancock practiced for a lifetime, she probably wouldn't be able to obtain such terrifying power.
Women didn't have an advantage in swordsmanship. Because their strength was not enough.
Unless they were born with exceptional talent. But how many such people were there?
