One Piece's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 50
Three days later.
Wuxuan City, ‘Leaf House.’
“Lord Wakuraba, the goods you ordered have arrived.”
The merchant greeted him with a big smile.
“They are all the types you like.”
“Hmm.”
Behind the curtain, Wakuraba responded indifferently.
He casually tossed out a bag of gold coins.
“I will not treat you poorly for working for me.”
The merchant quickly picked up the money bag and bowed deeply, saying, “Thank you, Lord Wakuraba! Thank you, Lord Wakuraba!”
“Get lost!”
There was nothing to chat about with this kind of trash.
Wakuraba waved his hand dismissively.
The merchant wisely left the room with respect.
Shortly after, two maids dressed in thin veils entered with their heads down, saying, “My lord, the humans that were just brought in have been cleaned.”
Before they could finish speaking, Wakuraba interrupted them.
“Keep them in the cellar for now.”
The maids nodded in agreement.
Wakuraba had particular tastes and preferred plump individuals.
Everyone in ‘Leaf House’ knew about it.
At the same time, outside the city.
“Wow!”
Looking at the city in front of him, Tanjiro, who was from the countryside, couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
He turned his head and shouted excitedly, “Zenitsu, Inosuke, come and look!”
“Ahahaha, Boar Rush, Boar Rush!”
Inosuke was eager to enter the city without hesitation.
Zenitsu, being the most sensible, quickly stopped him.
“Wait! If you rush in like that, the guards will think you’re suspicious!”
Genya walked over from a distance with a scowl on his face, “Quit shouting. You may not mind looking ridiculous, but I do.”
Zenitsu shrugged.
“Tch, of course, the young master from a wealthy family has different views from us country folk.”
As soon as he spoke, he was already being his usual sneaky self.
Genya’s eyelid twitched.
He flashed a terrifying smile, “Do you want to fight or something?”
Whoa.
Trying to scare people, huh?
Zenitsu skillfully hid behind Tanjiro and Inosuke.
“Tanjiro, Inosuke, let’s go together!”
Tanjiro looked troubled.
Inosuke, on the other hand, seemed eager.
At that moment, the quiet Kanao came gracefully, softly saying, “The master said that whoever causes trouble at the city gate won’t get dinner tonight.”
No dinner?
That was too harsh!
Including Genya, the four boys shivered and obediently stood at the city gate.
At first glance, they looked like four stone pillars.
About five to six minutes later, Jon calmly walked over.
He glanced at the four of them.
He smiled, “No fights, right?”
“No!”
The four nodded rapidly.
Taking advantage of his closeness with Jon, Zenitsu grinned, “We get along well.”
“I believe you.”
Jon casually flicked Zenitsu on the head.
“Let’s go, enter the city!”
If you believe me, why did you flick my head?
Zenitsu followed Jon with a bitter face as they walked towards the city gate.
There were guards stationed on both sides of the city gate, and an entry fee was required.
It was a small fee, which Jon didn’t mind.
But asking Inosuke to take off his headgear?
No way.
“Can you turn a blind eye on that?”
Facing the guards, Jon calmly slipped them some money.
The guards weighed it and warned, “Don’t cause trouble!”
With that, they moved aside and allowed Jon and his group to enter the city.
Inside the city.
The streets were bustling, and buildings were everywhere.
As one of the major cities in the northwest of Honshu, the prosperity of Wuxuan City was beyond question.
Jon quickly made a plan.
“Let’s first check into the inn, then split up to gather information on Wakuraba.”
The five had no objections.
Zenitsu’s eyes darted around, rubbing his hands as he moved closer to Kanao, “Um, Kanao, should we team up and investigate?”
Kanao did not expect Zenitsu to be so forward.
After a moment of silence, she nodded, “Okay.”
Taking advantage of others’ unwillingness to refuse, he just directly launched his attack.
Jon chuckled.
Zenitsu, you were still too young.
“Zenitsu and I will be in one group, Genya and Inosuke in another, and Kanao and Tanjiro in the last group. That’s settled.”
Zenitsu: !!!?(??)?
Genya: (???#)
Though it seemed like he was knocking down Zenitsu, the pair Jon decided on was undoubtedly very reasonable.
After being apart for more than an hour.
They had a clear understanding of Wakuraba’s situation.
“Wakuraba is the owner of ‘Leaf House’ and is very wealthy.”
“It is said that he has many partnerships with various merchants.”
“He often helps the poor and has a good reputation.”
“He is knowledgeable and respected.”
A wealthy and charitable demon.
Hiding in plain sight.
This guy was indeed quite clever.
Jon scratched his eyebrows, recalling Wakuraba’s actions in the plot.
Among the many lower-ranking demon moons, he was the only one brave enough to flee from Kibutsuji Muzan.
“Master.”
Suddenly, Kanao tugged on Jon’s sleeve.
Jon snapped out of his thoughts.
“What is it?”
“Tanjiro and I heard that a merchant delivered a batch of goods to ‘Leaf House’ this morning.” Kanao blinked, “I think that might be the people who were abducted.”
If she put it that way, it was very likely.
Demons were bloodthirsty and could not eat normal food.
Since Wakuraba disguised himself as a merchant and used deliveries to cover up his crimes, no one suspected him.
A murderous intent surged in Jon’s eyes.
Fame came early.
Eradicating evil also had to come early.
So, Wakuraba, within a day, your ashes will be scattered!
Without hesitation, Jon led Zenitsu and the others straight to ‘Leaf House.’
As soon as they entered.
He noticed something was off.
For a shop, the place was far too dark.
Not only was it completely dark, but the windows were also shut tight!
Hundreds of oil lamps emitted a faint glow.
Under the dim light, a beautiful maid approached, bowing and saying, “Welcome to ‘Leaf House.’ May I ask what you need?”
“We are from out of town and would like to buy some local specialties.”
Jon casually made up a reason, subtly glancing at Tanjiro.
Tanjiro shook his head.
This maid was not a demon.
However, Tanjiro sniffed a few more times.
His expression gradually became solemn.
Jon understood what was happening.
He smiled lightly, “Speaking of which, I am from the same hometown as your boss, Wakuraba.”
“You know Lord Wakuraba?”
The maid was surprised.
“Of course, if you don’t believe me, ask him to come out and meet me.” Jon’s gaze was calm, “He’ll know who I am then.”
“Uh, please wait a moment.”
In this era, coming from the same hometown usually signified that you at least know each other.
The maid didn’t dare delay and gracefully returned to the back room.
Before long, a young man with short hair, wearing sunglasses and a kimono, walked out.
“Which one of you is from my hometown?” Wakuraba smiled.
“Me.”
Jon took a step forward, subtly shielding his disciples.
“You?”
Wakuraba was a bit puzzled.
However, after looking at Tanjiro and the others’ clothes, he realized.
“You all are from the Demon Slayer Corps!”
