"That's not it! Don't lie!" Shinpachi pointed at the thick stack of video tapes in Kamenashi's arms angrily, "It's a scum turtle who left his wife who was laying eggs and ran around with a videotape! And why did you write [Doraimon] on the videotape?! This kind of disguise can be seen through at a glance! Scum turtle!"
But suddenly, Kamenashi stopped, and Otae and others also stopped and gathered together.
"No matter where you look, there are turtles. This island is completely surrounded." Looking at the sea turtles that surrounded them, Otae said.
"We're going to be caught. What should we do? Hey!" Hasegawa shouted.
Kyubei, who was at the side, pulled out her sword and rushed toward the sea turtles without any explanation.
"Why aren't there any reliable men at this critical moment?" After taking care of a turtle, Kyubei couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"Hold on!" Shinpachi picked up a wooden stick from the ground and forced a turtle back, "They will definitely come! Gin-san and Kawaki-san, they will definitely come!"
Just like this, about ten minutes later...
Shinpachi and the others had already dealt with many sea turtles, but it seemed they were still far from enough. The endless sea turtles once again rushed toward Shinpachi and the others. At this time, everyone was already a little tired.
At this time, Gintoki's voice suddenly came.
"Oh, sorry to keep you waiting..."
"Gin-san!" Shinpachi was delighted and looked in the direction of the voice. Everyone also looked over, but then their expressions froze.
They saw a silver-haired old man with a walking stick in one hand, the other hand behind his back, and a tall old man with slightly red hair slowly walking over. These two people were Gintoki and Kawaki.
Behind Gintoki and Kawaki were the expressionless Kagura and Tsukuyo, as well as Sogo, who was holding the portrait.
"Who are you guys?!" Shinpachi was a little overwhelmed.
"It's Gin-chan and little uncle-aru," Kagura replied.
"Isn't... isn't this Shinpachi-kun..." Kawaki said slowly, "We haven't seen each other for three hundred years, and you've grown so big..."
"Wait a minute! Why did the two of you become like this?!" Shinpachi shouted, then twitched his eyes and pointed at the portrait in Sogo's arms, "Wait a minute, that... the portrait of an old man in Okita-san's arms, could it be Hijikata-san! What exactly happened?!"
"No... not a portrait..." Toshiro said slowly, "It's... ah? What am I going to say?"
"The portrait spoke!!"
"Did you guys touch the sample Treasure Chest G I secretly brought out from Ryugu Palace?" Kamenashi, captured by the sea turtles, looked at Gintoki and the others in disbelief.
"What sample?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.
"Yes... What is it?" Gintoki was also puzzled.
"I don't know..." Kawaki shook his head and then looked at Gintoki beside him, "I've wanted to ask since earlier, who are you? Why can't I help but want to get mad when I see you?"
"Who are you?" Gintoki looked at Kawaki, "And I also feel very unhappy when I see you."
"I see..." Kawaki and Gintoki nodded at the same time. Then, the two stood at the same place and started to fight.
"No way!" Shinpachi shouted.
At this moment, Sogo couldn't help but say...
"Hey, sea turtles." Sogo looked at the sea turtles that had surrounded him.
"That's great. Luckily, there's still a normal man," Shinpachi said, slightly relieved.
"You can arrest whatever you want! But..." Sogo continued, then wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at the portrait in his hand, "Before that, please allow me to throw Hijikata-san's portrait... put it here!"
"Wa... wait a moment..." Toshiro quickly shouted, "You just want to leave me here, right? You want to leave me here, right? And why am I the only one who turned into a portrait?!"
Toshiro suddenly coughed violently as he spoke, "No, now this body...it started to crumble after spitting out so much..."
"Then, please rest in peace here, Hijikata-san." As he spoke, Sogo placed Toshiro's portrait in front of a large tree.
"Wait! At least bring me along!" Toshiro hurriedly shouted.
Seeing the meaningless quarrel between the two, Shinpachi adjusted his glasses and walked before a sea turtle soldier. He stretched out his hands and smiled with tears on his face, "Alright, arrest us quickly."
"Oh, oh." The sea turtle soldier quickly grabbed a rope and tied up Shinpachi's hands.
"It... it's our turn..." Kawaki and Gintoki lined up behind Shinpachi.
"Are you in such a hurry?!" Shinpachi turned around and retorted, "By the way, do you really know what's going on"
"Uh... Don't underestimate the elderly!" Kawaki shouted, "Old people sometimes can't lose to young people!"
"That's right, That's right," Gintoki nodded, then looked at Kawaki, who was in front of him again, "Speaking of which... who are you?"
"You two are exactly the same!" Shinpachi said angrily, "No one got to the point!"
"It's my turn next time," Sogo walked over with a rope in his hand and revealed a sly smile. He looked at the sea turtle soldier in front of him and asked, "Do you really know how to tie it up? Do you want me to teach you? I am very skilled in turtle binding?"
"Huh? Really?" The sea turtle soldier blushed.
"Are you coming too?!" Shinpachi shouted angrily.
"That... please don't leave me behind..." Toshiro shouted.
"Then please, Hijikata-san, say something like [I'm really happy to be a portrait~]," Sogo, whose hands were tied, turned around and said to Toshiro's portrait, "If you say such words, I'll bring you along."
"Who would say such things!" Toshiro said angrily, "It's already been three hundred years, but your sadistic side hasn't been cured?"
"Then I don't care." Sogo shrugged and said indifferently.
"Alright, alright!" Seeing that everyone was really going to abandon him, Toshiro covered his face and muttered, "I'm really happy to be a portrait! I'm really happy not to be like them! Cough, cough, cough... How is it? Is it okay?"
...
At the bottom of the sea, Ryugu Palace.
In fact, the so-called Ryugu Palace was originally a huge mobile brothel that wandered between various planets. It did not belong to any country and surpassed any legal system.
Being loved by many powerful people to obtain great power, even the current Ryugu Palace had the ability to contend with a country.
After Kawaki and the others were brought here, they were imprisoned. As for Kamenashi, he should have been locked up separately.
Through the iron cell, looking at the sea turtle soldiers escorting the old man and the old lady, Shinpachi murmured, "The humans who were turned into old people were constantly sent here. Sooner or later, we will..."
Kyubei, sitting cross-legged on the ground with her arms crossed, analyzed, "Although I don't know what that Otohime is planning to do, she really intends to make this planet with only old people."
"What exactly should we do?" Hasegawa was also sitting on the ground and was a little restless, "That turtles were taken elsewhere, and our movements were restricted."
As he said that, Hasegawa looked at the two old men watching TV with their backs to the crowd and a portrait, saying, "These guys have also become like that. But why are these guys watching crosstalk all day? Why is there a TV in the prison cell? Why are the portraits crying while watching the crosstalk show?"
"I'm so touched..." Toshiro murmured and then looked at Gintoki and Kawaki, "Can the next show be changed to mayonnaise's cooking show? This is a bit too exciting for the elderly."
"That..." Kawaki turned his head to look at Tsukuyo and said, "Can I trouble you to change the channel? It doesn't matter if it's sumo, but can you change it to a woman sumo?"
"No, no!" The portrait on the side quickly retorted, "That kind of thing is even more exciting! If you look at it, your blood pressure will rise if you are not careful! My sons often remind me of this. At this age, don't cause trouble for the children."
"Ah, that makes sense." As he spoke, Kawaki again turned around and looked at the TV show without turning his eyes.
"Hey, these people really make people angry," Shinpachi murmured, "Do you only think about that kind of thing when you become an old man?!"
"That..." At this time, Kawaki turned his head again and slowly said, "Since women's sumo is not good, can women's wrestling be watched?"
"There is no difference at all!" Shinpachi complained loudly.
"Ah... I see..." As he spoke, Kawaki once again turned his head.
After nearly ten seconds, Gintoki looked at Kawaki and said, "Kawaki, in the end...do you only think about that kind of thing when you become an old man?"
"It's so slow!" Shinpachi shouted, "It's really too slow to retort! How much time do you want to take?! Besides, I have already retorted, so you don't have to force yourself to do it. Just leave it to me."
"Don't treat me like an old man," Gintoki looked at Shinpachi and said word by word, "I won't lose to a young man."
"It's really you, Gintoki," Kawaki crossed his arms and muttered, "Young people nowadays are dull and boring, just like when I was young..."
Speaking of this, Kawaki stopped and started to cheer again.
"These two guys are really annoying. I will definitely ignore them if they continue to pretend to be stupid next time..." Shinpachi sighed softly and then sat down on the ground.
"What exactly is going on?" Kyubei looked at Kawaki, Gintoki, and Toshiro, who had turned into a portrait, "Their behavior has become more and more like that of an old man."
"Is there no way to restore it to its original state?" Shinpachi looked up and asked.
