章 206: Wano's Dethroned Lord

Flying over the country, I could see a few towers of smoke slowly rising from multiple areas within the island.

'They must've already started making those weapon plants'

It wasn't as bad as it was in the anime when Luffy had arrived there. However, I could tell that they were on a small pace to get there soon. Looking back, the shores of the sea was pretty far from where I currently was, highlighting the vastness of the land of Wano.

The capital wasn't too far from where I was, so I decided that I would go there first. I didn't know exactly where Oden had been staying, but there was a strong possibility that I was going to get an answer from whoever had been staying there.

I deliberately had kept quiet from Toki and the rest of her family because I didn't know how they'd react to hear that I would be arriving there.

I spread my Observation Haki to a nearby range to sense if anything odd had come up. However, other than the animals, there wasn't anything worth noting. So I continued my pace towards the capital.

The lights illuminating from the city gave the capital a soft comfortable ambience. It was quite beautiful, unfortunately that capital was probably under the rule of a Lord who didn't love his people.

I could see the large tree which held the Lord's castle. I boosted the speed at which I had been flying and soared through the sky, and I eventually found myself floating right in front of the Lord's castle.

I wasted no time breaking into the castle, causing the alarms that had been set within the castle to go off. Countless samurai immediately appeared and promptly surrounded me with countless weapons drawn.

"Surrender! Criminal Trespasser, you have invaded the Lord's Castle!" A commander promptly emerged from the group of soldiers and ordered me.

"I'm looking for that guy, where is he?"

"Like we'd tell you, you piece of trash!"

"Arrest him, no! Kill him!!"

The environment around us quickly became tense as I could feel all their killing intent aimed right at me. They were truly sincere about killing me.

"Alright, I guess I'll look for someone who can then," I replied.

I immediately let out my Conqueror's Haki and incapacitated all the surrounding soldiers. Even the commander was knocked out as a result of the Haki. I quietly kept walking along the corridors of the castle. Looking for anyone who could tell me where the Lord had been staying, but nobody was willing to give me that small piece of information, making the work a lot harder than it needed to be.

Eventually, I managed to run into a maid who had happened to be cleaning by a nearby room. Naturally, I slowly approached her and patiently waited for her to finish her cleaning.

She let out a squeal before jumping back.

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to kill you. I just need you to answer my question, and I'll let you go," I quickly consoled the panicking woman.

"Where's the Lord?" I asked calmly.

"He....he's on the very top floor. That's where he usually sleeps," She replied after a brief moment of hesitation.

"Thank you."

With that, I left her to her own business and slowly began reaching the stairs. Naturally, soldiers would immediately appear at every corner that I would turn, and they would all fall thanks to my immediate use of Conqueror's Haki.

Eventually, after going through a couple of flights of stairs, I managed to find the Lord's bedroom. It was quite grandiose with the double doors with the gold lined highlights.

Grabbing a gold plated door handle, I calmly pulled the doors open. The two doors groaned as it gave way. What appeared immediately in front of me would be something that no amount of bleach could ever wipe from my eyes and memory.

The Lord of Wano was currently butt-ass naked on top of a beautiful lady. His eyes full of lust as he got busy with her. The scene of his flailing butt was so traumatizing that I almost gauged my eyes from its socket.

'*ugh* I'm actually picking my eyes out after this'

"Excuse me, you got a second?" I asked politely, yet casually.

The big headed lord immediately froze before slowly turning to me. The lady he was fucking also froze and looked at me with a flustered expression as well.

"Who the hell are you?! How'd you get past the guards?? Guards!!! Get Him!!!!"

The room immediately was filled with even more soldiers compared to the number that I had encountered before.

"Have him executed immediately after he's captured. Matter of fact, kill him now!!!" The Lord roared as he pointed his finger at me.

"There's no need to be so violent, I'm just asking you to help me out with something," I replied casually.

However, the guards were clearly not having it.

They immediately rushed at me all at once, I think they're overall goal was to impale me from all sides at once.

However, with a simple release of my Conqueror's Haki, all of them immediately dropped to the floor unconscious. I had to limit it to my immediate surroundings so that I didn't accidentally knock the Lord out.

As a result, I didn't manage to get all of them at once, and some of them had been watching me knock all of those soldiers out without me having to lift a finger.

"D-Demon!"

"We have to exorcise this monstrosity before it's too late!" Another soldier said gravely.

"S-Someone call Fukurokuju! I know that he'll be able to handle this bastard without any hard effort!" The Lord roared as he fumbled to cover his body with a bathrobe.

A man with ridiculously long ears immediately appeared after the Lord called his name. He had been accompanied with several more ninjas as they all knelt in front of the now covered Lord.

"You called my Lord," the man, Fukurokuju immediately responded.

"Kill him!!!! Kill him now!!!!!!!" The Lord roared angrily while pointing at me.

"It will be done," Fukurokuju immediately said before disappearing and reappearing right in front of me.

His subordinates immediately surrounded me as they pointed their blades at me.

"Give up, the least we can do is make your death swift," One of the ninja's instructed.

The other's made a motion to run their blades right through my vitals: heart, tendons, wrists and throat. All these vitals were mercilessly stabbed through by all these ninjas.

Fukurokuju didn't even bother looking at me, he simply bowed in front of the Lord and reported the immediate situation.

"My Lord, the target has been eliminated," Fukurokuju reported calmly.

"You sure about that?" I asked.

The ninja's hadn't used Haki, so their blades didn't even make a dent on my skin. If anything, it felt like small little pins had been prickling my skin. It felt more annoying than painful, so I could manage.

Although I was still calm throughout the entire situation. The same couldn't be said for the rest of the people that were in the room. They all had their mouths agape as they saw the blades of the ninjas didn't have any affect on me.

"T-That's impossible! My blade is sharp enough to split rocks like butter!" Another ninja remarked as he tried to press the blade even further down my throat.

"Look, I don't want to kill you all. But I do have a question, I'm looking for someone, do you know where they live?"
