Roger and his crew also set off for the Wano Country, and because the entire ship was mobilized without relying on Nameless' instant teleportation, they still needed a long time to sail.
Roger thought for a moment and felt that they would arrive a few days later than An.
However, it would still take more than a year for the demon lord to appear, so there was no need to rush.
Now, let's turn our attention back to the Wano Country...
Tsukimado returned to the house of Hyogoro.
As he returned home, he became more and more angry. How dare that Kenshin Himura treat him like that?
He was just a commoner, while he was the son of a Wano general. How could Kenshin want to kill him?
Moreover, he hadn't done anything wrong. Since it was on the land of Wano, couldn't he, as the son of a general, go and see? What rule of Wano forbids walking with someone else?
The pain and tearing sensation in his body made his anger accumulate more and more. The blood on his chest was still stimulating his nerves. He clenched his fists tightly and quickly ran towards Hyogoro's house.
His blood-covered appearance caused many people to exclaim along the way. These exclamations only added to Tsukimado's madness.
What were these people freaking out about? They were a bunch of useless people!
Amidst a series of exclamations and panic, Tsukimado kicked open the door of Hyogoro's house and suppressed the anger in his heart as he went in.
At this moment, Hyogoro was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the sun. When he saw Tsukimado suddenly barging in, covered in blood, he was astonished and quickly stood up and ran over.
"Tsukimado, what's wrong?!"
Seeing Hyogoro's concerned expression, Tsukimado's anger eased a bit, but he was still puzzled.
What's wrong with me?
Was it so easy to be controlled by anger just now?
But when he thought of Kenshin Himura, he couldn't help but feel angry again. It wasn't just because Kenshin Himura killed him, but also because Kenshin's talent was evidently superior to his!
Tsukimado always thought he was invincible, but Kenshin Himura was obviously younger than him and yet possessed sword skills far superior to his own. And he even killed him with his own hands. Flames of jealousy burned in his heart, not just anger.
How could this happen?!
"Hyogoro boss! Tell me everything about Kenshin Himura and his master!"
As soon as Hyogoro heard this, he knew that Tsukimado had suffered a big loss with them. He hesitated a bit, but when he saw Tsukimado covered in blood and the deep and bone-seen knife marks ahead, he couldn't help but say, "Tsukimado, you should go and heal first."
"No!" Tsukimado suddenly roared. This roar tore open the wound again, causing blood to gush out, but he seemed oblivious, pressing his hands firmly on Hyogoro's shoulders and shouting loudly, "I must know their information!"
His eyes were bloodshot, with a hint of darkness in the redness, making Hyogoro sweat on his forehead. Being stared at by those blood-red eyes, Tsukimado seemed like a fierce beast about to devour someone!
Hyogoro instinctively wanted to step back, but Tsukimado's hands were like iron clamps, firmly holding him in front of him. He even felt Tsukimado's hands tightening, causing his shoulders to ache.
"Are you crazy?! Tsukimado!"
Hyogoro pushed Tsukimado away, as a boss in the underworld, Hyogoro was never short of courage and ferocity. He also angrily said, "Do you know what you're doing?!"
This push made Tsukimado seem to wake up suddenly. He stepped back two steps abruptly, the red light in his eyes disappeared, and he suddenly calmed down.
"I..."
He looked strangely at his own hands, while Hyogoro continued, "Go and treat your injuries! If you really want to know something, wait until you're healed, and I'll tell you then."
Tsukimado heard Hyogoro's words in his ears, but he was in a strange state at the moment.
What did I just do?
Tsukimado was a scoundrel. He forcibly took women, caused great floods, and ate oden with the bodies of the dead, but he had never treated people around him like this...
with murderous intent?!
Yes, there was indeed a bit of dissatisfaction with Hyogoro in his heart just now, and that little dissatisfaction quickly turned into ugly murderous intent. He had actually thought about killing Hyogoro!
This...
Shouldn't be like this!
He stood still for a moment, then quickly shook his head to clear his mind.
But soon, another voice appeared in his mind.
He must find Kenshin Himura, no matter the cost. He was killed by Kenshin Himura once, so he must kill him back!
This was his purpose in coming back from hell, to bring Kenshin Himura into the realm of death!
He felt a severe headache, very severe. He couldn't help but cover his head with both hands. The pain in his head was even more intense than the wound on his body, causing him to kneel down on the ground suddenly and pass out directly.
"Tsukimado?!"
Watching Tsukimado suddenly collapse after being stunned, Hyogoro was also surprised. He quickly ran over and called for help.
"Someone! Quickly take Tsukimado to the hospital, and then report the matter to the general here!"
Hyogoro was a big figure in the underworld, but his identity had long been recognized by the authorities. Otherwise, Tsukimado would not have come here repeatedly.
Following his orders, someone quickly took Tsukimado away, and at the same time, someone went to report to the general's mansion.
He stood alone in place, looking at the familiar land, feeling puzzled for a moment.
What...
happened?
Tsukimado went to find Kenshin Himura before. He thought Kenshin Himura should have shaken off Tsukimado, and even if he couldn't shake off Tsukimado, there shouldn't have been a problem with Kenshin's strength. But he never expected that it would be Tsukimado who ran into trouble.
"Could it be that Kenshin has grown so strong in these years?"
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Bige, I really admire your disciple's level, but you've also brought a disaster upon yourself."
Who is Tsukimado? He is the heir of the general in Wano. There is only one son in the family of the Hyogoro family. Now, besides such things, how can the official Wano tolerate it?
Despite the fact that the Hyogoro family had severed relations with him before, that was purely to deceive people. There was only one son in the Hyogoro family, and who would be the next general if they severed relations with him?
Previously, the problem of the Hyogoro family, which had no descendants, almost caused a great chaos. The Kurosumi family believed that the Hyogoro family, which had no heirs, would definitely choose other daimyos to be the general. That was the cause of the turmoil. Fortunately, the current general of the Wano Country, Hyogoro Kozuki, was born, and the conspiracy of the Kurosumi family was revealed.
Tsukimado, in the Wano Country, is very important!
