One Piece: Wudang Byakuya, deputy captain of the Straw Hats

The fox who is called "Onimaru" by Jinemon is the partner of the former daimyo Shogetsu Ushimaru.

Like Qioba, he was originally just a fox, and then by chance, he ate the animal line, human fruit, phantom beast species, and Daijindo form, not only can he spit out human words, but also can transform into the legendary monster - Daijindo.

After Kaido came to the country of Wa, after the Black Carbon Great Serpent overthrew the Mitsuki clan, Reihou also turned into a snowy cemetery.

The fox that survived became the gravekeeper of this cemetery.

Until a few years ago, River Pine, one of the nine heroes of the Red Sheath, came here.

"Lord Kawamatsu said that the katana buried here will definitely come in handy this year. From that time on, I worked with Lord Kawamatsu to collect Reigo's katana and drive away the bandits.

Orochimaru, who had re-transformed into the form of the Great Entrance, said while guiding the way to several people from Jinweimon,

"It's just that Lord Kawamatsu never came back after going out once. I borrowed the name of Lord Kawamatsu once [Ushi Onimaru of the Robber Bridge] and continued to act in Reigo. Hearing

this, Jinweimen's face was also not good-looking.

Kawamatsu did not follow himself and the others through time and space, but took on the burden of taking care of Hiyori and adults.

But after so long after their return, no trace of River Pine has been found.

Either the two are hiding too deeply, or... It's just that it's already been caught.

Jinemon clenched his fists, Kawamatsu's safety aside, if Hiyo-sama was also killed because of this, he really didn't know how to explain to Ota-sama after death.

At this time, several people had already arrived in the depths of Linghou, where there was a house half-buried by the wind and snow.

Coming to the door, Orochimaru hesitated, looked at Jinweimon and said

, "Sir, do you really want outsiders to know about this place?" Not to mention that the guy still holds the national treasure and doesn't return it..."

"Hey, don't let me hear the bad words." There are some things that I have explained very clearly. Solon

looked bad.

"Okay, okay, Solon don't be angry." Choiba smoothed Solon's hair and said with a smile: "After all, no one will easily believe such a thing as someone who has died for hundreds of years giving you a knife." "

Hmph." Solon folded his hands to his chest and said no more.

His purpose was simple, just to find clues about the Frost Moon clan, which Orochimaru had said a lot before.

But he won't have a good impression of him just because the other party is Frost Moon Orochimaru's partner.

Similarly, even if he knew that Solon's mentor was from the Frost Moon clan, Orochimaru would not be close to Solon.

The master he served was only Frost Moon Ushimaru, not some Frost Moon Kozaburō, Koshiro or something.

Not to mention people who have long left Wano Country.

"It doesn't matter, Qiushui's affairs are not in a hurry, the most important thing now is to liberate the country of Wa."

Jinweimon said to the onimaru, "Your Excellency Solon is not a thief, but the inheritor of a national treasure, and we have no reason to ask for it directly.

These words made Solon nodd, Jinweimon has indeed learned a lot, it seems that the effect of beating him was good.

After a moment of silence, Onimaru nodded and pushed the door open.

As soon as several people entered the room, they were frightened by the scene in front of them.

Inside the huge house, countless katanas are neatly arranged, and each one is polished to the extreme.

Jinemon looked at Orochimaru.

If it was just speculation before, now he can be sure.

In the past few years, Onimaru has not only collected the entire Reigo's katana here, but also polished it day and night, so that it can become a weapon that can be used at any time.

Add to that the fact that he has to fight bandits who covet these katanas at any time, and you can imagine how sad his life has been all these years.

It's no wonder that Qioba is healing Onimaru's injuries, and they are surprised by the injuries on his body.

Even those who are phantom beast species demon fruit abilities have old injuries that cannot be healed.

Just before Jinemon could come out of his shock, Onimaru chose to say goodbye to him.

"My mission is complete, Lord Jinweimon."

"Wait a minute." Jinemon stopped Onimaru who walked to the door: "Why... Why are you willing to do this, you should know, even if we succeed, it is..."

Jinweimon suddenly didn't know how to express it.

How did he say, could it be said that the Frost Moon clan had perished, and even if they recaptured the country of Wa, it would be meaningless to the Frost Moon clan, the Frost Moon Ox Pill, and the entire Ling Hou.

Jinweimen's mood was very complicated, he had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to explain it, he only felt panicked in his heart.

He remembered what Ota-sama had said before he died, and he also remembered the riddle that Haku Ye had told to himself not long ago.

Faintly, he felt that something was about to be figured out by himself.

Perhaps hearing the meaning of Jinweimen, Onimaru looked outside the door, and the flying snow that fluttered in the sky slowly fell, more than ten years like a day.

Empress Ling never seemed to have changed, but he knew that the Empress Ling in his heart would never come back.

"For those who are still alive, Lord Jinweimon."

Onimaru turned around, looked at Jinweimon quietly, looked him directly in the eye and said, "For them not to live like me."

With those words, Onimaru turned and stepped out the door.

At that moment, Ghost Pill turned into a fox again, moving his limbs and slowly leaving.

...

"Solon, what are you thinking?"

Choiba asked, lying on Solon's head.

"I was wondering if the Devil Fruit you ate was a little useless..."

Solon dumb, dumb Solon!! "

For the living?"

Ignoring the fight of one man and one beast, Jinweimen muttered,

"Then what are we for?"

——

In the wind and snow, the figure of the fox Onimaru slowly revealed, and he came to lie down in front of a small dirt bag covered in the wind and snow.

He licked his almost scabbed wound a few times and raised his head.

In front of the earthen bag, a broken katana is inserted.

"Whaa

This is the crown of Frost Moon Ushoumaru, and the only place where he can commemorate Frost Moon Ushoumaru.

In recent years, because he has been too busy, he has rarely had the opportunity to take a look.

But now, he can finally stay here forever, with his master and best partner.

Orochimaru curled up in front of the crown and slowly closed his eyes.

The wind and snow seemed to be a little bigger, and Onimaru even felt the chill pierce his body.

He didn't seem to be able to resist such weather.

But... That's fine.

Just when Orochimaru's consciousness became more and more blurred and he was about to fall into a deep sleep, a sound of footsteps came.

"Is this your partner's graveyard?"

Solon stepped out of the wind and snow and looked at the crown in front of Orochimaru, his gaze locked on the broken knife.

"Good knife...,"

Onimachimaru stood up and yelled at Solon.

Carelessly, he didn't even notice that anyone was following him.

He stood in front of the broken knife and looked at Solon with his fangs bared.

I know that this guy of yours is not a good person, and even wants to steal a broken knife?!

"What kind of look you guy, I'm not here to steal a knife this time." No, I didn't steal a knife either!

Solon was a little angry, he was confused by this fox.

Onimachimaru didn't move, but became more vigilant.

He just admitted both!

"Oh, whatever you want."

Solon laughed, ignoring Orochimaru's murderous eyes, and sat down like this.

Then he said to himself,

"I used to have a great partner... It can also be said that it is an opponent. "

Onimaru didn't slack, this guy must be trying to fool himself.

"At that time, I had just entered the Taoist Hall to learn swords, and she was the most powerful peer in the entire Taoist Hall. I'm not convinced, and I swear to defeat her..."

Solon said as if he couldn't see Orochimaru.

At first, Onimaru was still extremely vigilant, full of caution at Solon's words.

But slowly, his body relaxed.

Perhaps because the story is too good, or maybe it is mixed with real emotions, Orochimaru has a new understanding of the man in front of him.

He must have missed that guy a lot....

"So I swear that I must live and live by any means until the day I become the number one swordsman in the world, so that my name will sound in heaven."

After saying these words, Solon looked down.

Onimaru didn't know when, he was already lying beside him, sleeping deeply.

He laughed: "Sometimes the living guys have to work harder, for those who died. Solon

stood up and looked again at the tomb that symbolized the Frost Moon Bull Pill.

"You have a great partner."

——

When Onimaru woke up again, he was put on an overcoat at an unknown time, and there was a pot of wine in front of him.

After a long time, he opened the wine altar and took a sip of the fragrant wine.

It was warm, and it seemed that even the chill in the body was dispelled.
