"so you are saying that you guys are capable of taking down kaido by yourselves?"

Hearing law words, rimuru couldn't help but smile faintly

"That's true, but to be honest, kaido and big mom are not our biggest obstacle nor our objective..nevermind that, so you guys agree with this alliance?"

The crowd falls into deep silence for a while, an alliance between pirates is not something to be taken lightly

The possibility of being betrayed is quite high, plus with the octagram infamous and notorious reputation

Anyone would think twice before getting involved with them

"Shishishi! Then let's go kick kaido's ass together! Having octagram as an ally is equivalent of having a thousand battleships after all!!"

Of course, out of all peoples luffy is the one who agree with it immediatelyy

But that does not mean his action is reckless, among other people here, luffy have really know all too well with the octagram pirates

".....well, if luffy-dono said so"

A few seconds after, everybody also agree with this alliance, though law seem a little bit reluctant.

"Well then, i'm gonna go first and inform milim"

As rimuru about to dissapear, law suddenly held rimuru shoulder.

"Wait, we will meet at onigashima"

Hearing this, rimuru look at law with cold gaze

>

'sure enough'

Rimuru then just smile and nodded.

Meanwhile, at the okobore town.

"Ara, valentine-san, you are wearing kimono in the wrong way"

Otsuru say with a concern tone, but dino who is also there couldn't help but gigling

"Pfft--"

Hearing this, luminous cast a cold glare toward dino.

"Don't laugh you dipshit. Nobody above failure, including me"

"......."

"That's right dino, you never fail at anything before right?"

"Of course! I'm someone who never knew the concept of failure before-"

"You can only fail if you actually do something after all"

"..........."

"You've never failed since you've never done jack shit"

'damn bitch!'

Otsuru seeing this let out a hearty chuckles

"You two must be really close"

But before dino and luminous could retort back, they noticed that the villager is rushing for some reason

"Otsuru-san! Let's go! Beast pirates has come to our village, we need to greet them!"

Dino and luminous couldn't help but flinch a little,

'to think beast pirates would come here....'

Luminous thought about it, but quickly decided to just see the situation first

Otsuru who was in panicked grab luminous hand and run toward with the villagers to greet the beast pirates

Dino also follow them until they found the villagers is kneeling in fron of big man with a lion face on his belly

'Holdem..'

Dino mutter in his heart, for now he couldn't make any obvious resistant and just kneel alongside with the villagers

'is he came here to find out the stolen food..? How....shit, the timeline has gone messed up from originals!'

While dino is in deep thought, holdem roar suddenly resounded

"Does anybody about the stolen foods a few days ago?! Don't hide anything and come out! Otherwise we would not spare even the children!"

Facing with such threat, all the villagers shiver.

But even that, no one is standing, they are afraid, yes. But to betray the samurais who will liberating this country? That is out of the question.

"I see, well then! We just need to cut down this stubborn fools!"

As holdem ordered his mens to murder the villagers, a single person stood out to stop this.

"Hm?"

"My name is otsuru! I know about the foods that you are talking about! If you want, then i can lead you there, but i want you to promise no harm for the villagers!"

The villagers hesring this couldn't help but let out an ugly expression, they all know that otsuru is sacrifing her life for these

How can they stay still?

"Wait! Otsuru-san! You don't need to sacrifice your life for the food we ate!"

"That's right! I just wanted to eat a nice meal before i drop dead!"

"The food is gone! We ate it all!"

One by one villagers stood out, preventing holdem before he got any closer to otsuru-san

"So it's you guys! Kill them all!"

Holdem said so while killing the old man that stand in front of him by crushing his head with his hand.

Soo the beast pirates began to attack the villagers with a smile on their faces

Luminous seeing this, couldn't help but gritting her teeth due to thus event

"You lot dare-!!!"

But before luminous could spring into action, all the surrounding pirates is being cut into two

"Ahh....this is the first time i've ever feel this pissed off since ramiris stold my pillow..."

"Y-you! Who are you!"

Dino didn't bother answering his question before he rush toward holdem using his two swords

*Ting!!*

'th-this pressure..!!! Conqueror haki?!'

Holdem couldn't his shock as the moment he clashed the blade with dino, he felt an overwhelming present that shouldn't belong to this world

'this is bad......if dino is in that state.....even i can't stop him!'

Even though luminous said so in her heart, her face couldn't help but reveal an excited smile

Dino on the other hand quickly retracted his swords and swing it back in an instant, immediately cutting both of holdem's hands

"Y-you..!!!"

Before holdem could even see dino, he sense a figure right behind his head, ready to decapitate him

With glowing sinister blue eyes, dino mutter softly yet full of murderous intent

"......You're in the presence of an angel"
