Chapter 280: Arc 17: Panic! To Orobi's And Sahiko's Rescue!


With the Orochi Oniwabanshu out of commission, Orobi grabbed Sahiko and the two women made a break for it.

"This is Orobi." Orobi pulled out her Smart Tanishi. "Onami, Shinobu, Bonekichi, I'm sorry, but we've been discovered by the enemies."


"What?" Onami gasped, hidden in the ceiling with Shinobu. "Robin and Sasha were found?"

"Oh no, that's a big deal." Bonekichi moaned. "I can't believe they found them."


"There are some ninja in the castle." Orobi reported. "11 of them at least."


"Fukurokuju." Shinobu breathed. "Fukurokuju is the leader of the ninja force. Orochi's Oniwabanshu led by him is a group of capable ninja. I'm sure they'll go after them. Let's protect those tow, Onami."

"Robin, where are you and Sasha?" Onami asked.

"You're a geisha." an unfamiliar male voice sounded from the other end and Orobi was forced to disconnect. "What are you doing here?"


"Watch your step." Orobi steadied the drunk man.


"Disconnected." Onami blinked.

"We have to find them ourselves." Shinobu decided.

"Brook, did you hear that?" Onami asked. "Find Sasha and Robin and protect them."


"How pleasant!" Orochi was drowned yet another cup of sake. "Orobi, the new girl." he spotted Orobi. "Where have you been? Come closer."

"Yes." acting bashful, Orobi slid up to Orochi. "I'm sorry, My Lord. I just went to the kitchens to check up on my younger sister."

"You lovely one." Orochi gushed. "I'm feeling good."

"Here you go, My Lord." Orobi refilled his sake cup.

"It's delicious!" Orochi laughed. "Sake tastes better when you pour it."

"Thank you very much." Orobi smiled. "By the way," she looked around. "This banquet is really enchanting. I'm so honored to be invited to something like this."

"I'm happy too." Orochi grabbed her hand. "To have you. I want to drink the night away with you."

"Those words..." Orobi faked a blush. "Even if you are joking, they make me happy."

"No, I'm not joking." Orochi protested. "I'm serious."

"I'm so grateful." Orobi played her role to the fullest. "Now, My Lord, I heard you would have a big banquet at Onigashima on the day of the Fire Festival."

"I will." Orochi confirmed. "Every official of Wano and all of the Beast Pirates will be there."

"That many people?" Orobi was astonished. "I can't believe how powerful you are. How amazing."

"It's an annual festival." Orochi remarked. "We must do it in a lavish manner."

"My sister and I want to attend that banquet." Orobi requested. "Please summon us. My sister has a new type of rakugan I am sure everyone would enjoy to the fullest."

"All right." Orochi agreed wholeheartedly. "Count on me."

"Whoa, such treasures will be taken to Onigashima?" Orobi continued to pry more information from Orochi.

"Indeed." Orochi grinned. "Do you want to hear more about the Fire Festival, Orobi?"

"Yes," Orobi nodded. "I want to become acquainted with you more and more."

"Then, would you like to compete to become my primary consort?" Orochi drooled. "Komurasaki." he turned to the Oiran who had tapped him on his sleeve.

"You're so mean." Komurasaki pouted.

"Don't pout, Komurasaki." Orochi drew her into an embrace. "How cute. You're very, very cute."

"Here you go, My Lord." taking over from Orobi, Komurasaki refilled Orochi's cup.

"Komurasaki, the top Oiran." one of Kyoshiro's subordinates looked on enviously. "She's beautiful. I wish I were Orochi-sama, bu I'm scared of her darker side."

"Don't worry.' his companion laughed. "She won't fall in love with you. Right, Boss Kyoshiro? She's more tamed than any women from your pleasure hall."

"Don't talk about the courtesans like they're dogs or something." Kyoshiro sipped his sake. "People are flowers. If you are not clean water, your ladies won't bloom elegantly."

"But I heard that you brought out the Tobi Roppo just to take down one soba cook." his subordinate pointed out. "You're relentless as always."

"We yakuza become parents to nay underling once we exchange cups of sake." Kyoshiro explained. "If your child comes home beaten up, what will you do?"

"My, I'm always impressed by your chivalry." Sahiko served up a block of mushi-yokan to Kyoshiro.

"You're right, Kyoshiro." Orochi cut in. "You always crush your enemies with overwhelming force; to make sure they'll never stand against you. Even if it's a ghost. Oi, wagashi girl, get me some of that yokan."

"Right away, My Lord." Sahiko gathered her plates.
