"What do you mean by this?"
The man was still wondering, but Ann had already decided to verify her guess.
She said directly, "Consider this a reward for you bringing me here. Something will probably happen during this time. If you don't want to die, not only should you not say you are related to Hyogoro, but you should also hide yourself."
Keeping such a character might be useful later, so Ann gave a slight hint, "You should have also seen those samurai and ninja. They are here to find Hyogoro. If Hyogoro didn't do anything wrong, would such a large group come?"
That's all she would say, because she didn't have much time to waste here. Whether the man understood or not depended on his own brain.
If something still happened to him, then Ann wouldn't need such a stupid person as a possible informant, so after speaking, she immediately disappeared.
She ran in the direction she had come from, and she had already released her Observation Haki. Her Observation Haki could cover a world with a radius of ten kilometers. In some countries on the sea, she could cover the entire country with her Observation Haki.
However, Wano Country is a big country, comparable to Alabasta before. Ann naturally couldn't cover the entire country, but as long as Hyogoro didn't leave this range, she should be able to sense him.
!
It's just that there are too many people here, and she is not familiar with Hyogoro at all. At most, she has seen him once when passing by. It will be a difficult task to find him in a short time.
Observation Haki cannot let people see the truth of others, and can only distinguish them by body size and gender. That is to say, to find the corresponding body type, and also a man and a woman together.
However, at this time, she discovered someone who surprised her quite a bit.
"Why is he here?"
Ann continued to run outside the city. Before finding Hyogoro and his wife, she wanted to see another person.
Or rather…
Another devil!
"Why are you here?"
Outside the Flower Capital, Ann directly appeared in front of a man.
His lower body was wearing black suit pants, and his upper body was wearing a gray checkered shirt. He also had black sunglasses on his head, and a short flat haircut . He was tall, much taller than Ann.
He seemed to be about to enter the Flower Capital, but Ann directly appeared in front of him.
The man of course saw Ann, but he didn't have any emotional fluctuations. He just said calmly, "Where I appear shouldn't be under anyone's jurisdiction. It's strange that a Marine Admiral appears in this kind of place."
Ann glanced at the surrounding crowd and said in a low voice, "Toguro, I always thought you weren't on the same path as those devils."
That's right, the one who appeared in front of Ann was Toguro!
Although Toguro is also a devil, he is a half-devil, and from his previous actions, he just wanted to collect the Shikon Jewel to obtain eternal life. This is an idea that most humans have, so over time, people no longer targeted him as a devil.
After Ann became a Marine Admiral, she naturally obtained a lot of confidential information. Like when she was Roger, she didn't know how Toguro appeared, but now she can swagger into the Marine's intelligence room and freely access his information.
According to Marine intelligence, Toguro was originally just a human from the Sabaody Archipelago. Although he was strong, he was old and weak.
Zero gave Toguro a way out, which was to become a devil. After becoming a devil, he could obtain eternal life.
However, Zero himself can only turn people into half-devils. To become a complete devil, you also need the Shikon Jewel. This is why Toguro is so obsessed with the Shikon Jewel.
That is to say, Toguro is a new type of half-devil that has nothing to do with the devils from tens of thousands of years ago, so people's views on him are naturally different from those on Tunfo, Aatrox, and others.
After all, Toguro's performance is more like a pirate than a devil. Roger had dealt with Toguro several times before, but now he has appeared in Wano Country, in a country where a devil lord might appear in the future.
This of course aroused Ann's suspicion.
"I never need anyone to walk the same path with me, and I won't walk the same path with others." Toguro said calmly.
The two of them stood there carrying on a conversation, and it was very cold. This looked a little strange in the eyes of the surrounding people, but the two of them exuded a strong aura of "keep away," so no one dared to approach.
Hearing Toguro's words, Ann frowned and said, "Is your purpose for coming here the Shikon Jewel?"
"I don't need to answer your question." Toguro put his hands in his pockets and swaggered past Ann.
Ann stood there without taking action. Taking action here would expose her too much, and it would definitely attract the attention of many people. That would undoubtedly expose her existence in the open.
She is here to investigate secretly!
And taking action would probably not get anything out of him either. Toguro is not comparable to that casino man before. His strength is extremely strong, not inferior to her at all.
Because the two of them are not the same type, Ann chose to focus on Observation Haki in order to investigate Makima, but Toguro is a pure strength monster.
She was already in a state of full Observation Haki, so she naturally used weakness perception, but she found that Toguro's body had no weaknesses at all. This monster had trained his body into an iron wall. Every inch of his body contained explosive power.
Fighting with this kind of enemy is really too troublesome, let's leave it to Roger later.
Anyway, she and Roger share information.
She turned her head and took a deep look at Toguro who was walking towards the Flower Capital, then looked forward again.
Toguro is also here, adding another variable, but it's good to be able to see clearly how many unstable factors are in Wano Country in advance.
[An old book friend who has known me for ten years recommended me a book-chasing app, Yeguo Reading! It's really easy to use. I rely on this to read aloud and listen to books while driving and before going to bed to pass the time. You can download it here. yeguoyuedu]
She plans to communicate with the Thunder God later to see if he has any clues.
She continued to move forward while thinking, Toguro was just an interlude, the most important thing is to find Hyogoro and his wife.
Ann had a faint feeling in her heart that what happened in Hyogoro's house might be the origin of everything!
It's just that the time she spent in the Flower Capital was a bit long, which means it's very likely that Hyogoro and his wife have already left her Observation Haki's capture range.
After all, they seemed very anxious, and Hyogoro should have realized that something bad might happen to him, so their speed of advance was naturally very fast.
But…
No matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than Ann, not to mention that he is carrying a lot of things, and he is also carrying his wife.
"Found them!"
Ann traveled a distance forward and immediately captured the figures of two people!
