"Kyoshiro-san! T-T-The Oniwabanshu are....!" one of Kyoshiro's thugs shrieked.

"What?!" Denjiro exclaimed.

"...Huh?"

Kouzuki Hiyori, still reeling from the revelation of Ian's identity, was momentarily stunned. She hadn't realized his reputation outside the Flower Capital was so big.

To single-handedly defeat both Kaido and Big Mom... such a feat suggested an alliance with Whitebeard was not out of the question. And the remaining samurai of the Kozuki Clan were waiting in the wings, ready to strike.

Just as Hiyori was about to speak, a booming voice echoed from outside, followed by several figures bursting into the room.

"All courtesans, withdraw! Oniwabanshu on official business! All unrelated personnel, clear the area!"

The leader, clad in black, wore a mask and carried two swords crossed on his back. His left hand formed a series of rapid hand seals, his sharp gaze fixed on Ian. The courtesans, initially startled, quickly retreated in fear. The Oniwabanshu?

Tashigi, seated beside Ian, also wore an expression of surprise. These were Orochi's personal guards, under his direct command, a force even Kyoshiro couldn't mobilize. She was more surprised to encounter ninja in this land of samurai.

Kyoshiro watched the chaotic scene unfold below, his eyes narrowing slightly.

With a *whoosh*, he and Kouzuki Hiyori descended from the third floor to the main hall. Upon seeing Kyoshiro, the Oniwabanshu members immediately bowed.

"Kyoshiro-san. We are here on Fukurokuju's orders to apprehend a dangerous individual."

"If those are Fukurokuju's orders...then proceed. However, any damage to my establishment will be compensated in full." Kyoshiro's gaze swept over the four ninja.

Fukurokuju, like himself, served as Orochi's personal guard, and both possessed the authority to act independently under special circumstances. Kouzuki Hiyori was about to speak, but Kyoshiro stopped her. He still didn't fully trust Ian.

If the rumors of "Black Winged Devil" were true, then dealing with these ninja would be a trivial matter. And if so, perhaps joining their rebellion against Orochi...

...wasn't such a bad idea. He couldn't risk revealing his true allegiance prematurely. They had worked too hard to gain Orochi's trust and infiltrate his inner circle.

"Honestly..." Ian sighed, his expression unchanged as the ninja surrounded them. Tashigi rested her chin on her hand, tilting her head as she looked at him.

"Why is it that wherever we go, there's always someone trying to spoil the fun? It seems they don't trust us, even after we offered to help them restore their clan without asking for anything in return. And this is how they repay us."

The courtesans quickly evacuated, leaving only the Oniwabanshu, Kyoshiro, and his companions in the hall. The rest of the patrons had retreated to the streets outside.

"Surrender!" one of the ninja commanded.

"This area is completely surrounded. Escape is impossible against the Oniwabanshu, the most elite ninja force in Wano." The ninja encircled Ian and Tashigi, their weapons and shuriken drawn, their gazes cold and hostile.
