Inside the cabin.
Knock, knock.
“Lord Momo, it's time for dinner.”
“……”
Hearing the voice of his retainer from outside, Momo walked over and opened the door.
Kin'emon was holding a bowl, his eyes filled with worry as he looked at the listless young lord behind the door.
“……What's for dinner today?”
“Salted fish and seaweed broth.”
“I see.”
Momo took the bowl.
Seeing him take the bowl and about to retreat back into the cabin, Kin'emon couldn't help but say, “Lord Momo! Please, what are you so afraid of?!”
The retainer’s sudden question startled Momo.
His face was a bit ugly, and he lowered his head.
The hands holding the soup bowl tightened, his whole body seemed to be in fear and hesitation.
“……Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand.”
“Lord Momo?”
“Just listen to me, alright?! Just get past this time, and even if it's the Four Emperors Kaido, it won't matter! As long as we can get through this time! We won't have to be afraid of anything anymore!!”
Bang!!
The cabin door was slammed shut.
Looking at the room locked from the inside, Kin'emon couldn't help but sigh.
This wasn't the first time he had tried to communicate with Momo, but whenever the topic came up, Momo would become very resistant.
Ugh!
Kin'emon walked onto the deck with a worried expression.
“How is it, Lord Momo still refusing to leave the room?”
“……Yes, Lord Momo is still afraid.”
“Did something happen that we don't know about?”
There were two other retainers of the Kozuki family on deck, Kanjuro and Raizo.
Momo, who knew the plot of his world, already knew that Kanjuro was a traitor, but the man had done his best before tearing off his disguise, so Momo didn't plan to directly expose him.
Of course, it didn't really matter if he did or not...
“What a big moon.”
“Who's there?!”
The three samurai instantly became alert.
Following the sound, the three of them saw a young and beautiful figure at the back of the deck.
Fang Mingjing was looking up at the moon in the sky.
It was a full moon today.
The moonlight was beautiful.
However, Kin'emon and the others couldn't feel it, or rather, they were looking at Fang Mingjing, who was bathed in the bright moonlight, only to feel a strange sense of panic coming over them.
“Good evening. And good night.”
Fang Mingjing turned around and looked at them, smiling slightly.
“——!”
Before the three samurai could do anything, they saw a slender blade in Fang Mingjing's hand.
Shatter, you illusion of moonlit water.
Bang!
Kin'emon and the others vaguely heard the sound of a mirror breaking, and then they all stood there motionless.
“Such a terrifying ability.”
Mihawk the Hawk-Eye sighed in admiration.
He had been sailing the seas for many years, and had seen countless Devil Fruit users, but he had never heard of such a terrifying ability as Kyoka Suigetsu.
“Kyoka Suigetsu is really useful.”
“It's a good thing this ability can't be used on members of the chat group… but it seems that there are still hidden dangers.”
“Hmm?”
“Although it can't be used on group members, it can be used on the people they are connected to. If one were to travel to the world of a certain member and use this ability to manipulate the five senses, one could easily disrupt their lives.”
Obviously, after watching the materials of "Bleach", Hawk-Eye had always been wary of Aizen.
After all, he was a real schemer, and his mind was very deep...
“Don't worry, Aizen is very smart.”
Fang Mingjing laughed, “Precisely because he is so smart, he would never put himself in opposition to everyone in the chat group.”
As they talked, they had already walked into the cabin.
The door to Momo’s room was closed.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Who is it?”
Momo’s voice came from inside.
He was very vigilant, and he would never open the room unless he heard the familiar voice of his retainer.
But a mere wooden door could not do anything...
Fang Mingjing directly dismantled the door, and then, in the room behind the door, he saw the Kozuki Momo, full of fear, curled up in a ball.
“How, how did you find me?!”
He looked very shaky, his whole body trembling, “My guards… Kin'emon and the others, where are they!”
“They are on deck. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt innocent people.”
Innocent…
It seemed that this word stimulated Momo, he gritted his teeth, although he was scared to death, he still stammered and questioned Fang Mingjing:
“Then, then what did I do! I haven’t done anything! Why are you here to kill me?!”
If he had really done the things in the plot, Momo would have grudgingly accepted it, but the problem was that he hadn’t done anything now! Why would he be killed?!”
“Do you still not understand the point?”
“Wh……”
“If you hadn’t watched the plot, I wouldn’t have bothered to come all this way.”
“——!”
Fang Mingjing was too lazy to talk to him anymore.
Under Momo's desperate gaze, he swung his blade.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Thus, the wicked life of Kozuki Momo came to an end before it even began.
“Alright, mission accomplished, I'm going back.”
“Not staying a few more days?”
“No, I'll come back to visit you next time.”
Fang Mingjing refused quite decisively.
He had been playing in this world for a few days, and after completing the task, he really wanted to see Gu Shiyun.
