"Guhahahaha!"
"You want me to tell you? Impossible!"
Kurozumi Orochi's snake head displayed an eerily human-like expression as he laughed maniacally.
Hearing this, Bob nodded.
It seemed they'd have to resort to stronger measures - some people only learned when faced with dire consequences.
"Kaido!" Bob called out, looking towards Kaido.
The moment the words left his mouth, Kaido began swinging his kanabo as he approached Kurozumi Orochi.
In an instant, muscles bulged on Kaido's arms as tremendous power emanated from his body.
He swung the massive kanabo directly at another of Orochi's heads.
Instantly, another blood-curdling scream rang out as that head was reduced to pulp in the blink of an eye.
But Kaido wasn't finished yet.
After smashing that head, he quickly prepared his next attack.
Like a child playing with toys, Kaido wound up and delivered another crushing blow with his kanabo to yet another Orochi snake head's.
"AHHH!!"
A scream of utter agony came from Kurozumi Orochi's last remaining head - his original snake head.
If this one were destroyed by Kaido, death would be certain for him.
"I'll give you one more chance. If you don't talk, it won't just be another kanabo strike,"
"But I'll torture you to death! I've been researching some new methods lately - would you like to be my test subject?"
Kaido delivered a kick to Orochi's body as he spoke.
"W-wait a moment!" Orochi could no longer afford to worry about his current pain.
He knew Kaido was completely serious.
Not only would he die, but he might suffer unimaginable torment before he reduce to a bloddy pulp.
"If I talk... can I keep my life?" Orochi suppressed his terror as he addressed Bob.
"Agreed," Bob replied with a slight smile and nod.
Hearing this, Orochi hesitated no longer and revealed the World Government's plans.
"The World Government came here with two objectives!"
"First - to let the samurai and Kaido weaken each other, then swoop in to claim Wano Country!"
"Second - to capture Nico Robin and take her back!"
Orochi laid out everything he knew without holding anything back.
Upon hearing this, everyone present froze, even Kaido's expression changed dramatically.
He hadn't anticipated the World Government taking interest in his New Onigashima plan.
Had Bob not arrived, his eventual battle with the Straw Hat might have allowed the World Government to seize advantage.
This operation could have significantly strengthened the World Government's power.
Not only would this fail to aid the Revolutionary Army, it might actually have the opposite effect.
Luffy and his crew wore expressions of fury - the fact that the World Government still sought to capture Robin was utterly despicable.
Luffy would never allow any of his crewmates to be placed in such danger.
Now everyone realized, Had Bob not appeared, the World Government's interference could have led to disastrous consequences.
"I've told you everything!"
"Now... can I go?" Orochi's sole remaining head looked pleadingly at Bob.
Bob gave Orochi a brief, indifferent glance before turning his attention to the Red Scabbards and others.
Feeling Bob's gaze, the warriors' faces lit up with joy as they instantly understood his intention.
The next moment.
Amidst the crowd, Kyoshiro leaped up, raising his sword high and charging towards Orochi.
"Thud!"
The sound of sharp steel slicing through flesh echoed as Kurozumi Orochi's last remaining head was severed with a single slash.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
The head hit the ground with a dull thud, rolling forward a short distance.
The expression on the snake face was one of utter disbelief.
With that, Kurozumi Orochi was truly dead.
As for the three CP0 agents, they had been killed even before Orochi met his end.
The samurai's, witnessing the demise of the man who had oppressed Wano for over twenty years—and at their own hands—felt an overwhelming sense of liberation.
A few of the more emotional samurai's even had tears welling in their eyes.
At this moment, they had finally achieved vengeance.
Their eyes turned to Bob, filled with gratitude.
Bob responded to their gazes with a faint smile before casting a deep glance at Luffy and the others.
Then, he turned to Kaido and said.
"The rest is up to you!"
Without waiting for a response, Bob vanished from sight, transforming into a black streak as he sped into the distance.
His goal—inviting Luffy and the others and exposing the World Government's conspiracy—had been accomplished.
There was no further reason to stay.
As for Luffy's answer, Bob wasn't in a hurry.
As the Child of the World, a man determined to become the Pirate King, Luffy possessed an unshakable resolve.
If he could be persuaded so easily, he would never have achieved what he had.
After Bob left, Kaido looked at the rookie pirates before him.
"Cease the fighting!"
"Our battle no longer holds any meaning!"
"As for Wano… I've lost interest!" Kaido's voice boomed like thunder, resounding across all of Onigashima.
His words weren't just for Luffy and his crew but for everyone still engaged in combat below.
Those at the base of Onigashima stiffened upon hearing Kaido's declaration.
The Beasts Pirates instinctively halted their attacks and their opponents followed suit.
"Hmph! Kaido!"
"You come and go as you please!"
"What about Wano's suffering all these years? Who will answer for that?"
Among the Red Scabbards, one particularly radical samurai glared at Kaido as he spoke.
He had no issue with Bob's departure, but Kaido—this ruthless pirate—had to pay for his crimes.
"Let's go back," Kin'emon exhaled deeply and said.
As he spoke, he took the samurai's hand, preparing to leave.
Wano had been saved.
Kurozumi Orochi was dead.
Kaido's words implied he would withdraw from Wano, granting the country its long-awaited freedom.
This was the best outcome Kin'emon could have hoped for.
As for making Kaido pay—that was nothing more than childish delusion.
Such words held no real weight.
"But..." The samurai still wanted to break free, but seeing the other samurai's had already retreated, he said nothing more.
"Yamato! Come back with me!"
