บท 61: Kurozumi Orochi's Ambush

The box opened, and a mink with its tail and ears were covered in Storm Flame.

This was Belphegor's Box Weapons, the Visone Tempesta!

Due to Storm Flame's disintegration characteristic, it could disintegrate anything it touched. In Varia's arc, Bel gained a complete advantage because of his Box Weapon.

However, Kozuki Oden's retainers were not such easy opponents. They also possessed extraordinary strength, especially Ashura Doji and Denjiro. Although Belphegor's strength was not bad, he would have a hard time dealing with all of them by himself.

Of course, Bel might not be able to win, but he definitely would not lose. After all, there was still Lussuria standing behind him. As Varia's Sun Guardian, how could he just stand by and watch when his companion was losing? He indeed had no intention of making a move now, but it did not mean that he would still stand where he was and watch the show forever.

"Aren't you guys going to make a move first? If I make a move first, I am not sure if you will still have a chance, ushishishi!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bel directly threw out his knife, and the Visone Tempesta also rushed out quickly to Kin'emon and the others.

Even though the knives and the Visone Tempesta were extremely deadly, Kin'emon had their own advantage, which was numbers!

Apart from Kanjuro and Raizo, who was in charge of guarding Kozuki Oden, they had twice the number compared to their opponent. Even if they were no match in a one-on-one battle, wouldn't two-on-one be enough?

They might even choose a target and gang up on one target instead.

They looked at each other and understood their own thoughts. Kin'emon, Denjiro, and Kikunojo simultaneously swung their weapons and rushed towards Belphegor.

Ashura noticed this and rushed toward Lussuria with Kawamatsu, while Inuarashi and Nekomamushi approached Enel and Crowley, respectively.

Seeing the opponent's action, Lussuria said helplessly, "Why do you idiots have to come even though I have no intention of fighting?"

"Or are you trying to say that I am weaker than Bel?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lussuria was intercepted by Ashura Doji and Kawamatsu. As a Muay Thai master, he would only shine in close combat. Moreover, he was a Sun Guardian. Sun Flame's characteristic was to induce and improve any type of activity. It can increase the rate of blood flow and cell regeneration. In other words, he could increase his body function, and it also granted him high-speed self-regeneration.

Therefore, almost everyone with Sun Flame excelled in close combat.

Although Lussuria was a very flamboyant person, he was by no means weak.

"Hey, hey, hey, you have at least two opponents. Why do I only get one? Aren't you guys being too disrespectful?"

Enel was very dissatisfied with the fact that only Inuarashi came to find him. In his mind, he was the family of Fire God Giotto, so he was a young god and would eventually grow into a great god like his big brother Giotto.

Therefore, he was equal to a god, yet the opponent only sent out one person...

No, it was not even a person, but a dog. This was simply an insult!

Thinking of this, Enel's expression instantly became sinister. He did not hesitate to take out Dying Will Pill and swallow it in one gulp. Then, the sound of thunderstrike lightly sounded. The Lightning Flame was ignited on his forehead, and green lightning spread around his body. In addition, the long stick in his hand was also clad in Color of Arms Haki.

Inuarashi, who was approaching him, was stunned. To be honest, when Inuarashi found out that his opponent was a child, he kind of underestimated him. After all, how strong could a child be? Even if that child was a genius, he had not truly grown up yet.

But now, his thoughts had changed. To be able to use Color of Arms Haki, and considering the lightning around his body, the kid must be a Devil Fruit user, right?

In any case, this child was definitely not an easy opponent!

At the same time, Crowley, who was confronting Nekomamushi, also took out Dying Will Pill and swallowed it. The Storm Flame appeared on his forehead. Unlike Enel, the reason why he immediately took his Dying Will Pill was that he felt that the big cat in front of him was very strong. If he did not enter Dying Will Mode, he would be no match against him.

However, it was a completely different story when he was in Dying Will Mode!

The battle was about to break out, and that was also when Raizo and Kanjuro quickly carried Kozuki Oden and began to flee into the distance.

They ought to find a quiet and safe place to let Kozuki Oden recover. After all, they strongly believed that their master was the only hope for this country.

"Stop, Raizo, Kanjuro..."

In the forest outside Kuri, Kozuki Oden powerlessly said, "There is no need to risk yourself for me. Leave me here and leave quickly!"

"What are you talking about, Oden-sama! How can we give up on you and leave by ourselves?" Raizo did not understand why his master would suddenly say such words, but he knew that he could not do that, nor would he do that.

"That's right, we will never abandon you!" Kanjuro also chimed in at this moment.

Hearing their answers, Kozuki Oden smiled in relief before shaking his head. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "I was at fault this time. I shouldn't have fought Giotto. However, I don't regret it. I can't allow others to wrong my retainers!"

As he said this, his eyes became determined again. Although he thought that he had made a mistake in the battle with Giotto, he would never regret it.

"Gufuhahaha! I didn't expect that you would be defeated by that unknown brat. I really have to thank him for saving me a lot of trouble. Speaking of which, who would have thought that the famous Kozuki Oden would meet his demise in this remote forest..."

Hearing this voice, both Raizo and Kanjuro became nervous.

As for Kozuki Oden, he was not surprised because just now. He had already detected some people waiting to ambush him with his Color of Observation Haki. "Come out, Orochi. Why do you even bother hiding?"
