Pirate: I am Kozuki's nemesis and Nika's enemy!

At night, the atmosphere in the Bell Tower area was extremely tense.

Ushimaru Shimotsuki took a bath, changed his clothes, knelt down in front of a huge bronze statue, and prayed for help from the god believed in by Wano Country.

"Master Ushimaru, the pirates are here!"

"Komakone" Onimaru came to his side and whispered in his ear.

Shimotsuki Ushimaru nodded, got up from the ground, and rushed towards the tallest building in the Suzuho area.

"I hope...the gods of Wano Country can help our Shimotsuki family survive this disaster."

Standing on the top of the Bell Hill, Ushimaru Shimotsuki let the flying snow drift into his eyes and looked at the moon with great piety.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the sky changed color, the bright moonlight was completely blocked by dark clouds, and the earth was pitch black.

The wind was howling and lightning was brewing in the sky.

"Pants!"

A silver-white bolt of lightning fell from the sky, splitting the entire sky into two like a "middle-parted" comb.

"kill!!"

Suddenly, shouts of killing rang out from all directions all over the mountains, and a towering pirate flag appeared in Shimotsuki Ushimaru's eyes.

Moriah, carrying a large steel knife, led the way, followed by an army of zombies and pirates.

"Defeated general, this time it's your turn, Master Moria, to initiate the attack!"

A cruel smile appeared on Moria's lips, and he pointed at Shimotsuki Gyumaru who was standing at the highest point.

"Damn it! He actually manipulated and forced my dead uncle!"

A warrior saw the appearance of the zombie army behind Moria and said angrily.

"How should we fight this battle?"

Before the fight started, some samurai cried out in surprise. They were not Kozuki Oden, and they could not do such a thing as insulting the corpses of their relatives and friends.

"Catch the leader first, watch me!"

"Komaru" Onimaru, who had eaten the Animal-type Human-Human Fruit, the Mythical Beast Species, and the Dairudo form, roared, jumped down from the building, and suddenly attacked Moria.

"This is... a piece of fine fur!"

"It's just right for Lord Jello!"

Looking at the talking fox in front of him, Moria was extremely excited. He held the steel knife across his body and stared at it intently.

"Onimaru" felt humiliated and used the ability of the fruit to transform into a tall, burly and rough man. He held a long-handled knife in both hands and glared at Moria.

"Hmph... a bowl of fish skin soup that can replenish collagen!"

"It's just right for Lord Ushimaru!"

"Ghost Maru" licked his lips and said relentlessly.

"court death!!"

Moria roared and slashed at "Onimaru", and the battle started instantly.

At the top of the bell queen, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, holding a knife, condensed the domineering power of "Ryusakura" and flowed it at the tip of the knife. The light emitted by the purple-black sword energy kept flickering in the dark night.

He was facing a black dragon with eyes glowing with faint blue light, and the thing he had to protect behind him had already turned into a vast sea of ​​fire.

Many strangers who were unfamiliar to each other on weekdays were completely cooked under the roasting of this big fire.

"You want everything, so you are destined to get nothing."

"You could have given up the little power that the Shimotsuki family had behind the bell to ensure the safety of everyone."

"There is still time and opportunity, but such an opportunity is lost forever."

Jello's cold voice echoed in Shimotsuki Ushimaru's ears like a devil's whisper.

"Hahaha…………"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru opened his mouth and laughed with his head raised. His heart was cold, his voice was very creepy, and his expression became extremely excited.

"As long as Senior Longma cuts off this evil dragon with one sword like he did back then, everything will be saved!"

As the voice fell, Shimotsuki Ushimaru raised the two swords in his hands and slashed at the huge body of the black dragon. The two terrifying black sword energies tore through the dark clouds and shot towards Jello.

"Then was then, and the present is now."

"Those who dream of slaying dragons, times have changed!"

After saying this, the black dragon raised its claws, condensed the power of thunder and lightning, and blasted towards the crossed sword energy.

"Boom!" With a loud explosion, the two men's fight was evenly matched, and a huge amount of black smoke was generated in the air.

A cold light flashed from Shimotsuki Niuwan's eyes, and he leaped up, taking advantage of the cover of smoke, and slashed at the huge body of the black dragon with his knife.

The observation Haki on Jello's body sensed the attack route of Shimotsuki Gyumaru, and the huge dragon body changed its posture in the air, avoiding all his offensive moves.

"Damn it, it's like you predicted all my actions."

Shimotsuki Ushimaru, whose sword swings had missed every time, shook his head and stood back at the highest point of the building unwillingly.

"This is called Observation Haki."

"It is an effective fighting technique that is neglected by your own country, Wano."

"But your moves are very fast, and it does take a lot of effort to dodge them, so I finally chose to fight you this way."

Zero transformed into a human form, holding a black knife in his hand covered with domineering aura, and looked at the other party coldly.

"National treasure Qiu Shui?!"

"It actually fell into the hands of a fellow like you!"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru recognized the black sword in Jello's hand. It was the national treasure of their Wano country, the famous sword "Autumn Water".

"I know it has special meaning to you, so I use it against you."

Jello's eyes turned cold, and the dark red domineering aura in his body gushed out at this moment, like an endless wave, launching a fierce attack on Shimotsuki Gyumaru who was standing opposite him.

Shimotsuki Ushimaru was caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Conqueror's Haki and took several steps back.

Jello took advantage of this opportunity and gathered all his domineering power on the big sword "Autumn Water". At the same time, he urged the power of thunder and fire, mixed them together, and wrapped up an extremely long sword force.

Pure force suppression, without any sword skills.

"If I have to give this next move a name—"

"I choose to call it - God's Cry!!"

Jello slashed fiercely with the terrifying force of the knife, cutting Shimotsuki Niuwan's body in half, and the lower half of his body sprayed blood into the sky like a fountain.

His upper body hit the bricks and tiles heavily, and Shimotsuki Ushimaru's eyes became unfocused.

"A warrior has no sense of pain..."

Even though the white snowflakes fell on his face and dyed it red, Shimotsuki Ushimaru used these words to maintain his last dignity as a samurai and accepted his death with a smile.

When Shimotsuki Ushimaru's body turned completely cold, the first ray of light of a new day penetrated the dark clouds and floated behind the scorched earth.

Moria stepped on the corpse of "Komakone" Onimaru and ordered his men to rush into the daimyo's mansion to finish the work.

Not long after, the flag representing the Beasts Pirates slowly rose at the highest point in the Bell Queen area.

Jello looked up at the sky, seeing the long-lost sun.

"The frost and snow behind the bell... It's over!"
