One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 14 Deceiving Fire Fist Ace

Wielding the second-generation Onikiri, Luo Ji charged straight towards the Sea Stone processing plant and finished product warehouse.

"Quick! Pack all the Seastone weapons and Seastone artifacts into the boxes."

Whoever fills it up the fastest, I'll let them go first!

Luo Ji shouted loudly at the prisoners and slaves, and casually killed some of the animal guards.

"You! I know you, Hana no Hyōgor, the yakuza boss of Hana no Kyoto."

"Hurry up and help organize these samurai; I have a surprise for you."

"By the way, the yakuza bosses of Udon, Hakumai, Nozomi, and Suzuko, come out here!"

Luo Ji shouted quickly, and soon all the guys who had been called out came over.

"Help me pack up all these finished sea stone products, and I'll let you go."

Also, let me tell you a secret: your Kozuki Sukiyaki General is not dead yet!

"If you behave well, I'll tell you where sukiyaki is!"

Luo Ji smiled faintly, instantly attracting the attention of all mortals.

One of the men in the prison, wearing a straw hat, was extremely excited, his webbed hands gripping the prison bars tightly.

"What! The old general is still alive?"

"Didn't Kurozumi Orochi say that the old general died of illness?!"

The yakuza bosses, including Hana no Hyōgoro, shouted excitedly.

Since Kozuki Sukiyaki died of illness, Kozuki Oden was executed, and Kozuki Momonosuke disappeared, they all thought that the Kozuki family had perished.

This made them feel utterly hopeless.

"Hurry up and get to work! The faster you finish the mission, the sooner you'll find out the whereabouts of Kozuki Sukiyaki."

Luo Ji gave a serious order, explaining that the sea stone mine was so large and had many processing lines.

In order to seize more seastone weapons and other tools, he planned to mobilize all the laborers to loot the seastone mines clean.

Upon hearing Luo Ji's order, the yakuza boss of the Flower Capital, [Houken] Hana no Hyōgoro, and the yakuza boss of Udon, [Ketsumonji] Ōmasa,...

The yakuza bosses are: Hakumai's "Broken Hat" Tsunagoro, Nozomi's "Snake Eyes" Yataihei, and Suzuko's "Evening Glory" Acho.

These five underworld bosses quickly mobilized the warriors, prisoners, and slaves at the seastone mine to confiscate all the finished and semi-finished seastone products, as well as freshly mined seastone ore.

Everything was gathered in the Hailou Stone warehouse where Luo Ji was located; some were packed into boxes, and others were made into crates.

They were determined to complete the packing and moving orders given by Luo Ji.

Meanwhile, Yamato was releasing prisoners in large numbers and even helping them open the sea stone torture devices and ordinary steel torture devices.

After all, sea stone is very precious, and not every prisoner is qualified to wear sea stone shackles.

Kawamatsu, one of the Nine Red Scabbards, was also rescued by Yamato.

This fish-man also wanted to find out the whereabouts of Kozuki Sukiyaki from Luo Ji.

He was also very proactive in working towards the area closer to Luoji.

But when he saw Luo Ji summoning scrolls and storing boxes of Seastone inside them...

A terrible thought popped into his mind.

This looks so much like Raizo's scroll magic.

Oden, Nekomamushi, and Inuarashi, who had traveled across the sea, said that the so-called sorcerers of Wano Country were actually Devil Fruit users from the outer sea.

This Devil Fruit ability is unique.

Only when the previous owner dies will the Devil Fruit power be reborn and obtained by someone else.

"Could it be that Raizo is dead?"

Kawamatsu trembled and took a few steps back, unable to accept this fact.

If Raizo is dead, then what about Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Kikunojo, and Kanjuro? Did something happen to them?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

He Song clenched his fists, his breathing became rapid, and his mind went blank.

"No! Lord Oden said that Devil Fruit abilities also have similar abilities, called hierarchical abilities!"

This young man's sorcery might be similar to Raizo's.

Yes, that must be it. Raizo and the others must be alright.

Lady Toki's Time-Time Fruit ability will definitely not fail!

Kawamatsu kept hypnotizing himself to accept this conjecture: Lord Oden's prophecy must be correct, and Lady Toki's abilities must be safe.

"Luo Ji! What are you doing? Come with me to save people and beat these bastards up!"

Yamato was incredibly excited and fought with great gusto. Seeing the prisoners regain their freedom one by one filled her with immense joy.

Defeating the Beasts Pirates and saving Wano Country is one of the things she has wanted to do most all these years.

"These small matters are fine with you. Next, we're going to the City of Flowers!"

Luo Ji kept storing boxes of sea stone, a smile on his face, wondering how much this batch of goods would be worth.

Even if you don't sell it, keeping it for your own use would still be a huge fortune.

Fire Fist Ace watched as these two men took control of the situation so quickly and were able to order so many prisoners to work.

I'd like to get to know these two people for a while.

They might even form an alliance and defeat the Beasts Pirates together.

I don't know if they are free agents or pirates.

If they were free agents, Ace would have invited them to join his crew.

"Hey friend, are you pirates too? You're pretty good!"

Sensing that Yamato posed a greater threat, Fire Fist Ace chose to seek information from Luo Ji.

This young man looks like a support crew member.

"Portgas D. Ace, I know you!"

"Your good brother Sabo is still alive. Do you want to know where he is?"

"If you want, do a few things for me."

Luo Ji started by collecting the Sea Stone chests with a bombshell, leaving Fire Fist Ace dumbfounded.

"What! You're saying Sabo isn't dead! Who are you! How do you know about me and Sabo?!"

Fire Fist Ace was very excited. Not many people probably know that he, Sabo, and Luffy had become sworn brothers.

How could this strange young man know such a secret?

Are they from Windmill Village, or from Garp's side?

"My name is Luo Ji, and I am an ability user who can see the fate of some people!"

Luo Ji gave Fire Fist Ace a meaningful look, but his hand movements did not slow down.

"destiny?"

Fire Fist Ace's expression turned serious. Was it a Devil Fruit ability involving fate?

This is absolutely outrageous!

"What do you want me to do to tell me about Sabo?"

Fire Fist Ace asked with some skepticism, wanting to test him further.

"Just follow me for a few days."

"By the way, your younger brother, Straw Hat Luffy, is quite an amazing guy!"

Luo Ji made a simple request and revealed some other information to gain Fire Fist Ace's trust.

"Did even Luffy see it?"

What are you going to do in the next few days?

I have other things to do.

Fire Fist Ace hesitated for a moment, then asked again, explaining that he still needed to go to Onigashima to challenge Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.

"What important matter do you have to discuss? By the way, the Beasts Pirates have already set sail on a grand expedition, and Kaido of the Beasts shouldn't be in Wano Country for the next few weeks."

If you want to know about Sabo, you'd better follow me for a few days first!

"I'll take you to defeat this country's evil general!"

Luo Ji had an expression that seemed to see through everything, which made Fire Fist Ace's eyes widen again.

This guy even knows that he's going to challenge Kaido of the Beasts?

This was their first time meeting.

It seems his ability to see parts of the future is real!
