Chapter 291: Arc 17: The Straw Hats Step In! An Uproarious Deadly Battle at the Execution Ground


"Those fools..." Usohachi sighed. "I knew they couldn't hold back."

"This is gonna be trouble." Orobi predicted.

"Not that we can blame them." Sahiko noted.

"They did a good job saving Otoko." Franosuke added.


"How dare you interfere with her execution?" Orochi growled. "More friends of the rat have appeared. Yasuie's daughter, that accursed brat is a serious criminal. Samurai, go ahead and kill everyone who interferes with the execution. Get them." he gave the order.

Working in tandem, both Zorojuro and Sangoro fought off the attacking samurai.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have time for you." Zorojuro informed the chef.


"The Straw Hat Pirates' Roronoa Zoro, and the other one is, Vinsmoke Sanji." X Drake pulled out the bounty posters.

"So, the Straw Hats are really here in Wano." Hawkins remarked.

"I can't believe that they showed their faces so brazenly." X Drake stated. "I'll just finish you off." he activated his Devil Fruit powers and changed into his Allosaurus form.


"Shoot!" Daikoku gave the order to fire at the two revealed Straw Hats. "That damn ronin..." he cursed, Zorojuro's sword cutting through the bullet before they could reach their target. "Next, get ready. Shoot!"

Coating his leg with Armament Haki, Sangoro used 'Quasi' to deflect the fired bullets. "Take Otoko and run already."

"No, not yet." Zorojuro turned to Orochi. "He needs to be... take care of her." he handed Tōko to Sangoro. Deflecting the bullets fired by Orochi's guards with just his swords, he glared at Orochi. "I gotta cut you myself!" he promised.

"Stop, you idiot." Sangoro rebuked, deflecting the bullets fired by Daikoku's squad with his Haki-coated leg. "Tonoyasu sacrificed himself for what?"

"720-Pound Phoenix!" Zorojuro blasted the attacking samurai guards with two energy blasts, the two energy blades continuing their way towards Orochi when Kyoshiro jumped in and blocked out the attack.


"He repelled Zoro's sword attack?" Usohachi was shocked.

"I think he was the one who cut Komurasaki." Onami supplied.


"Lord, you're too careless." Kyoshiro chided. "You should not come to the execution ground with such poor security.

"You are right." Orochi agreed. "And that ronin... he was really going to kill me."


Sangoro found himself engaged in a fight against X Drake in his Allosaurus form. "Take this!" leaping into the air to dodge the large jaw, the cook slammed a 'Flambé Shot' on X Drake's snort.


"What should we do?" Usohachi asked. "Are we gonna stand here and just watch?"

"When it comes to this, we gotta fight, too." Franosuke interjected.

"Wait a minute." Kanjuro objected. "That will ruin the whole plan."

"And if we get involved with this, we can no longer stay in the capital.' Onami reminded.

"Even so, we can't let them display Yasuie-sama's body to public view." Shinobu protested. "We must take it away somehow."

"Let's split up." Sahiko suggested. "Where should we meet? Shinobu and Kanjuro, head out discreetly. It's our own crew who created this mess, it's up to us to take care of it."


"Take Shogun-sama to the castle." Kyoshiro told the guards.

"I won't let him go." Zorojuro readied his stance. "Do it." he told Franosuke who had dropped in.

"Strong Right!" Franosuke fired out his extendable fist after taking on the bullets that were intended for Zorojuro. "There he is." snatching up Yasuie's body, he made a run for it. "Usohachi, you saved me." he spotted the crew's sniper taking out the samurai chasing him.

"Mil Fleur: Gigantesco Mano, Spank!" Orobi sent two large hands tunneling towards the samurai.

"The enemies are strong." Daikoku warned. "Surround them!"

"Ex-quip: Dragonite Wheel's Armor!" in response, Sahiko summoned her multi-shot armor. "Dance, my swords! Circle Sword!" she sent her summoned swords flying towards the attacking samurai.

"Thunderbolt Tempo!" Onami sent down her lightning attack for additional damage.

"Outta my way!" Zorojuro demanded.

"I think not." Kyoshiro was ready to face his new opponent.

"In that case..." Zorojuro made the first move and attacked. "I'll cut you!"

"I am the Shogun's dog." Kyoshiro stated, easily deflecting Zorojuro's twin blades.

"Poêle à Frire: Spectre!" Sangoro sent his rapid flaming kicks downwards on X Drake. "Let's wrap this up and get out of here!"

"Special Attack: Atlas Comet!" Usohachi fired off four of his gunpowder pellets.

"Mil Fleur: Gigantesco Mano!" Orobi readied her next attack.

"Weapons Left!" Franosuke wasted no time in fired out his rapid-fire weaponry.

"Ex-quip: Blizzard Plate!" Sahiko swapped out to one of her elemental armors. "Blizzard Wind!"

"Tornado Tempo!" Onami souped up Sahiko's icy blizzard attack, and locking the rest of the samurai in solid ice.
