Chapter 1232: I Am But a Brick
Chapter 1232: I Am But a Brick
As Kuro flew back, actions were also unfolding in Wano Country.
At the island below the waterfall’s sea area, Kas glanced at Yin Lawa, who lay motionless on the ground. Suddenly, he looked up toward the sky. A dark shadow loomed—a massive jet-black winged dragon descending rapidly, its claws gripping something. As it neared low altitude, the dragon twisted midair, transforming into a human figure that landed before Kas in a swirl of dust.
“Abel,” Kas rumbled.
The figure before him was none other than Kemuri (Kuro’s subordinate), who tossed Zang Jing onto the ground beside Yin Lawa. “Mr. Kas, these people sneaked into Wano Country while you were away.”
Kas frowned. “Trying to infiltrate Wano Country while we were out?”
“It’s likely more complicated than that,” Wilbur mused. “Based on the song’s characteristics from those headphones, if the one called ‘Red’ entered Wano Country, their melody might plunge the entire population into illusions. The Wano people were already under our guidance. If such fantasies take root, we’ll face not just territorial issues, but a battle for their very minds.”
He glanced at the two fallen foes. “But they’ve exposed key weaknesses. First, ‘Ideal Village’s combat power is lacking—they had to lure our forces out this way, or they’d stand no chance against us. Second, they’re cautious. Given their ability to induce illusions, most would boldly march in. The fact they infiltrated secretly suggests they have aerial mobility, right, Abel?”
“A Zoan Devil Fruit user capable of flight,” Kemuri confirmed.
“This caution implies Ideal Village has a strategist aiming to seize Wano Country at minimal cost. Third, they possess intelligence on us. Otherwise, they couldn’t have timed their move so precisely when Mr. Kuzan and we were all away. They just didn’t anticipate you’d be guarding that spot.”
“You’re as sharp as ever, Wilbur. You see what others miss.”
Wilbur shook his head humbly. “Just basic analysis. Unlike your resolve, Kas, I can only contribute small merits.”
“Merits have no size,” Kas countered. “We’re all bricks in Mr. Kuro’s grand ideal. His vision is like a towering building—no single brick can stand alone. Only together can we form something great!”
“Kas!!”
“Wilbur!!”
Kemuri: “….”
Donald facepalmed. Here we go again.
After a tense silence, Kemuri, clearly unable to endure their fiery mutual admiration any longer, asked, “What’s next?”
Kas clenched his fist, his tone grave. “We strike back. We’ll find this Ideal Village and shatter their delusions. I’ll make them see—empty dreams have no place here!”
“I’m coming too,” Kemuri said firmly. “I need to confirm if their ‘Red Officer’ is truly of my kin.”
Meanwhile, aboard a navigating pirate ship elsewhere on the ocean, an elderly man hung up the receiver, sighing. “Failure, it seems.”
“Officer Constance!” Deng Shi and others nearby rushed to him. “Kemuri was supposed to be imprisoned! How did he defeat Zang Jing? Did he escape?”
“Let’s hope it was an escape.” Constance gazed toward the Grand Line, pausing before ordering, “Prepare the coated membranes. Initiate Plan B. Continue navigating as planned.”
“Aye!!”
Constance turned to them, his voice chilling. “This mission is perilous. Be ready to sacrifice your lives. Even if you die, you must hold them back. Understood?”
“For Ideal Village!!”
“Aye…” Constance exhaled, his voice heavy. “For our Ideal Village.”
…
A few days later.
In Wano Country’s Flower Capital, atop the castle tower, Lida rolled around the room Kuro had claimed, sprawling on the tatami mats with a bored sigh. “So boring… Where’s Kuro?”
“I heard someone ambushed here earlier, but I was off eating in Kuri. Missed all the fun.”
Staring at the ceiling, she suddenly turned. “Hey,(End of Chapter)
