[V3] - Chapter 32. Four Emperors? I'm Aiming Right For The Four Emperors!
---
Yuto looked coldly at Jinbe, who was kneeling before him, then glanced at the uninjured Yumi and the three little ones beside her. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. He reached out and gently patted Yumi's reddened eyes.
"It's okay! It's okay! Dad's here! Dad will help teach them a lesson for Yumi in a bit!"
They were truly asking for death!
As those words fell—
The three little ones, still children, also clung to Dad. With Dad there, they seemed much less afraid, and said: "Dad~"
"Uncle Yuto!" Nearby, Shirahoshi also lowered her head weakly, eyes red as she whispered, "I'm sorry. I couldn't protect Yumi and the others!"
"It's not your fault!" Yuto smiled and patted Shirahoshi's head. Once he saw she wasn't crying anymore, he turned his gaze back toward Jinbe, who still had his head buried against the ground, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body. "How impressive! You couldn't even keep an eye on a single half-crippled fish-man! Captain of the Sun Pirates, the Knight of the Sea, Jinbe!"
"Sorry! I was careless!" Jinbe knew full well it was his fault. Back then, he was the one who had chosen to spare Hody Jones's life.
And as a result—
Who could have expected—
That guy would turn out so insane, directly attacking Princess Shirahoshi and three little children?!
Feeling that terrifying aura emanating from the man in front of him—
Jinbe already knew he was extremely strong. If he weren't, the Sun Pirates back then wouldn't have been defeated by him alone. But… at that time, Boss Yuto had been all smiles and hadn't exuded this kind of terrifying presence like he did now.
Jinbe still didn't lift his head, and said earnestly: "I'll personally deal with Hody Jones, to give you and the children an explanation!"
"No need! That guy, and any fish-men connected to him—I'll handle them myself!" Yuto shot him a cold look and refused outright. Then he glanced at Robin, who looked guilt-ridden, and his expression softened slightly. "And afterwards? Did the Sun Pirates arrive?"
"No, they didn't!" Robin shook her head and hesitated for a moment, then said, "Later on… a giant radiating green light appeared…"
She hadn't even finished speaking—
"It was Brother Obito! Brother Obito~" Asuka was the first to interject. "Dad, in the end, Brother Obito showed up and defeated them." She raised her little fist. This cheerful kid seemed to have already forgotten the sorrow from earlier. "And then, Uncle Neptune and the others finally arrived!"
"Obito…?" Yuto blinked in surprise. Internally, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a bit thankful. Otherwise, he'd have been left with no choice but to let this world taste pain.
Fortunately, that guy had only planned to capture people at first. Otherwise, he'd have regretted it to death—even if there was a way to resurrect, he'd still have regretted it!
As expected… from now on, he really couldn't let these three little ones run around everywhere anymore.
He'd thought spending just one day on Fish-Man Island would be fine, that nothing would happen. Yet as soon as they were about to return, something nearly went wrong.
Then he looked around the area, and when his gaze swept past that White Zetsu, he also paused for a second. But right now, he paid him no mind.
"Where's Obito?"
After all—
Ever since he'd brought him into this world, he hadn't seen him appear again.
So he'd ended up running off to Fish-Man Island!
As his words fell—
Asuka raised her hand again and earnestly said: "Brother Obito, after seeing we were okay, went off to capture the bad guys…"
Her soft and cute voice hadn't even finished—
When suddenly—
The surrounding space twisted violently.
A faint voice drifted over: "I'm right here!"
Then, under everyone's astonished gazes, Obito, who hadn't been seen for so long, appeared before them. And then… bang bang, two loud thuds echoed, as though he'd tossed two objects onto the ground.
Those were—
"Drought Jack and Hody Jones!"
Jinbe froze.
Obito glanced at him once, then ignored him. He looked at Yuto and said coolly: "The rest were all fed to the fish. As for these two guys—I thought about it and brought them back."
Devil Fruit users?
With such obvious weaknesses, and they dared to run around on the sea right in front of him? Did they really think he, a ninja, was just some pushover?
"How do you plan to deal with them?"
"How to deal with them? Obviously, feed them to the fish!" Yuto immediately made the three little ones turn around, and said in the same calm tone, "You shouldn't have brought them back!"
Just finishing them off was enough. He didn't need any information, and besides, there were kids present!
As his words fell—
He stared at the two guys sprawled there like dead dogs, and his eyes suddenly widened…
"Boss Yuto!!!" Jinbe suddenly spoke up again, in his deep, rumbling voice. "Let me handle it personally…"
However—
Before he could finish his sentence—
A terrifying aura erupted. Under everyone's shocked gazes, it was compressed and twisted on the spot.
In the blink of an eye… it instantly turned into ashes. The space before them was now empty, as though nothing had ever existed there just moments ago.
This…
What on earth kind of power was that?!
After coming back to his senses, he sighed. "Hody Jones was dealt with personally by me. It wasn't Boss Yuto who did it!"
This was Fish-Man Island.
Though there were reasons for what happened, Hody Jones still had some reputation on Fish-Man Island. If word got out that he'd been killed by a human just like that, who knew what the fish-men below would think!
"No need!" Yuto, however, was not appreciative. "I did it myself! You dared to bully my daughter—if it weren't for Yumi still being here… hmph!" His tone turned icy, and he turned his head to look at the White Zetsu who was standing there dumbly. "Now it's your turn… daring to lurk inside my daughter—what are you plotting?"
"I… hehe~" 9527 scratched his head embarrassedly. "Um, well, this and that…"
How was he supposed to say it?
Could he just blurt out that they were planning to let Yumi and the others inherit his legacy?
Thinking of this, he suddenly let out a mountain-like laugh. "Sorry, Yuto-sama! Actually, we mean no harm…"
Before he could finish his words—
"Forget it! I'm not in the mood to listen anymore!" Yuto was feeling quite irritable now, and impatiently stretched out his hand. "When the time comes, I'll go talk to Otsutsuki Kaguya personally…"
While speaking, he was just about to strike—
But he was stopped!
He was stopped by Yumi.
Yumi looked weakly at her father, speaking cautiously: "Dad, can you let 9527 go?"
"9527?"
What kind of weird name was that?!
"Boss Yumi!" Seeing Yumi pleading for his life, 9527 froze for a moment. But then he grinned and said cheerfully, "It's fine! It's fine! I'm not that easy to kill! Boss Yumi doesn't have to worry—grow up happy and carefree~"
"But, but…" Yumi, hearing White Zetsu's words, then looked at Yuto pitifully. "He's a good person! Dad, can you please not kill him? Pretty please~ pretty please~"
"…"
This guy.
What exactly had he done to his daughter?
Yuto twitched an eyelid, staring at the grinning White Zetsu. But then he looked at the three little ones staring at him with pitiful eyes, and let out a helpless sigh. "All right! Dad will listen to Yumi!"
Forget it.
He'd spare this guy's life. After all, back then, it was thanks to this fellow protecting Yumi.
Besides—
It wasn't like he underestimated these guys—
But these worthless losers… even if they stayed alive, it wouldn't really be a problem!
He turned his head and looked at Obito beside him, patting his shoulder with some emotion. "It's all thanks to you, Obito!" He sighed with deep feeling. "You've really grown up! All that love Dad gave you wasn't wasted!"
"… Get lost!"
This guy was seriously annoying!
Obito gave Yuto a speechless look. Then, as if remembering something, he said gleefully, "I'm fine, but… you're screwed! When you get back, you're definitely in for a beating! Don't worry—when the time comes, I'll set up the camera and film it all nicely!"
"…"
He'd been wrong just now!
This Obito was definitely not obedient!
Yuto shot Obito a glare.
However—
Obito completely ignored the glare of this annoying guy and said calmly, "So, what are you planning to do next? From the sound of it, this Beasts Pirates is pretty strong around here!"
"What to do?" Yuto, upon hearing this, no longer joked around with Obito. He let out a cold snort and said, "Beasts Pirates? They dared to lay hands on my daughter—if I don't kill them, how the hell am I supposed to show my face in the ninja world again? I can't even protect my own daughter—I'd probably get beaten to death by Suzune and the others!"
"So?"
"Declare war!"
As soon as Yuto's cold words fell—
Robin, Neptune, and Jinbe's expressions all changed in shock.
"No!" Jinbe quickly blocked Yuto, speaking seriously. "Boss Yuto, that's one of the Four Emperors of the Sea! They're not so easily dealt with. Leave it to me. I'll get Dad to—"
Before he could finish—
"Four Emperors?" Yuto cut him off directly, his tone icy as he said, "I'm aiming right for the Four Emperors!"
As he spoke, he ignored Jinbe altogether, turned his head, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number. "Hey, Minato, help me out with something!"
Meanwhile—
Seeing that he himself was fine, and that Yuto Group was now preparing to declare war, 9527 grew excited too. He gritted his teeth viciously. "Dare to bully our Boss White Zetsu—that's looking down on our White Zetsu Army! Die! They all have to die!" He also whipped out his own phone. "Hey! Everyone, get your asses over here! Our boss got bullied!"
War.
It was about to begin!
