Chapter 450 – Wano 05.

    [Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

    Third Person POV

    New Word.

    ...

    ...

    "You''re going to fight, Sensei?" Tama couldn''t help but ask curiously. It had been hours since Big Brother had left with his crew, and now it was already nighttime.

    Tama wanted to go with them, but Luffy had said there were still dangerous tasks ahead, and it might be unsafe for her. Even though she insisted she could be helpful with her Akuma no Mi, Luffy promised he would return soon.

    Now she looked at her sensei, waiting for his response, a little worried to see him standing still for hours as if lost in thought.

    "I..." He hesitated, pressing his lips together. "I''d be ashamed to show myself again after hiding for so many years... but I can''t keep hiding forever. Even if I''m labeled a coward by everyone and I''m not a great warrior, I will fight as well." He finished with a determined look.

    "Sensei... then it''s true that you''re Oden''s father..." Tama murmured, not having discussed this with him since Big Brother had revealed it.

    "Yes... you can call me a coward if you want," he murmured in a sad tone.

    "No, Sensei is an important person, and I know you couldn''t change the entire country alone. But if there''s a chance to restore Wano as Big Brother said, you must help, and I will join too!" she exclaimed.

    "Tama..." Sukiyaki murmured, cautious about her words, but he nodded in the end. It was time for him to fight or die for the country he had abandoned in recent years.

    At that moment, someone burst into the house, landing in front of the two.

    "What''s going on here? What is that construction, and where is the mountain that used to be in the middle of the forest?!" Shinobu approached quickly.

    "Big Sister Shinobu!!" Tama exclaimed, running to her.

    Shinobu looked at the little girl and then at Sukiyaki, relieved to see they were both okay. She let out a sigh of relief before kneeling to look at Tama carefully.

    "Can you tell me what happened here, Tama?" Shinobu asked. She wasn''t supposed to know about Oden''s father originally, but with the recent events around the world, it had been revealed through Tama.

    Sukiyaki introduced himself to Shinobu and mentioned that he had been in contact with some of the Red Scabbards.

    She had been in the region when strange things started happening: towns receiving food and weapons as if by magic, and people claiming a man wearing a straw hat had appeared, promising to fight Kaido. Upon hearing this, Shinobu rushed to one of Kuri''s towns, found one of the Red Scabbards hiding in the area, and convinced him to finally meet Sukiyaki.

    On her way here, however, she and Jibuemon noticed strange signs in the forest. They split up: Jibuemon went to investigate the forest, where someone wielding a sword was causing destruction where a mountain should have been, while Shinobu came to check on Tama and Sukiyaki.

    "Big Sister Shinobu, I met Big Brother Luffy and Big Sister Lucy, and all their friends!" Tama exclaimed excitedly. "They came here, gave us food, and said they''re going to fight Kaido. I forgot to ask, but we''re going to join them! You will too, won''t you, Big Sister?" she asked, her eyes shining with enthusiasm.

    "If it''s true..." Shinobu murmured, glancing at Sukiyaki, who nodded.

    "Yes, sit down. I''ll tell you the details," he said.

    "Alright. And what about the person in the forest? Jibuemon went to investigate," Shinobu asked.

    "No need to worry about that. He''s a friend of Big Brother Luffy," Tama replied, trying to ease her concerns. But at that moment, someone appeared at the door.

    "Excuse me," Zoro said, entering while dragging an unconscious body. He threw the body forward with a sharp motion. "This lunatic attacked me out of nowhere and cut my vivre card... Can you tell me where the region Luffy went to is? I''ve already mastered the sword," Zoro declared confidently.

    The next moment, an invisible shockwave rippled out from the center, stunning everyone. The guards began collapsing one by one, unable to withstand the overwhelming Haki dominating the area. Even the strongest prisoners winced, feeling the suffocating weight of the kingly presence, though it wasn''t directly aimed at them.

    "Well, looks like it''s over," said a figure stepping out of the smoke. His hat sat firmly on his head, his iconic outfit—shirtless, wearing only pants and boots—with a black admiral''s cape fluttering in the wind, bearing the Jolly Roger emblazoned on the back. His entirely black attire stood out as he revealed himself to everyone. No one could utter a word, paralyzed by the sheer suddenness of the events unfolding before them.

    "Straw... Straw Hat!" a voice finally managed to exclaim in frustration.

    "Well, I''m here to set you all free. But I didn''t expect to find someone like you here," Luffy said, looking with interest at Hyogoro, a renowned Ryuu practitioner. He also noticed Kawamatsu, who stared at him wide-eyed with a curious expression.

    "Anyway, you''re all lucky I came. After all, I''m here to take over this prison and set you all free!" Luffy declared with a grin.

    Meanwhile, the ship began descending, landing in the middle of the prison, which was already entirely subdued. Not a single person remained standing after the overwhelming display of Luffy''s Haki. Luffy then turned to Kid, who stood beside Killer. It seemed that Kid had also come here, though in this timeline, he hadn''t yet lost his arm to Shanks.
