Naruto Minato Template Ch 290 : In Zou 3

As the aftermath of Jack's attack settled, Kinemon gathered everyone around. His expression was serious, and everyone sensed that he had something important to reveal.

"Everyone, I have something to confess," Kinemon began, his voice steady but solemn. "I am not Momonosuke's father. Momonosuke is the son of Kozuki Oden, the next Daimyo of Wano."

There was a collective gasp from the Straw Hats and their allies. Luffy blinked in surprise, while Zoro and the others exchanged glances. Momonosuke stood by, a determined look on his face, showing a maturity beyond his years.

Kinemon continued, "We need to find the last member of our group, Raizo. He's the reason Jack attacked Zou."

"What!!"

When they finally located Raizo, it was a surprise to everyone. The "samurai" they had been searching for turned out to be a ninja and not the imposing figure they had imagined. Raizo was stout, with a round face and an almost comical appearance. He didn't exude the power or presence one might expect.

All the straw hats and even Momonosuke and a few of the Mink tribe look at Raizo and then back to Kirito. Comparing them and internally thinking that Kirito is far better, at least when it comes to looks. 

But more than that, Kirito is powerful. He kills Doflamingo. Just no one can do that.

Luffy, ever the candid one, couldn't help but point out the obvious. "Hey, Raizo, you're a ninja, but Kirito looks way cooler!"

Raizo scratched his head sheepishly. "I may not look impressive, but I assure you, I am skilled in the art of ninjutsu."

Kirito gave a small, reassuring smile. "Appearances aren't everything. Skills matter most."

With Raizo now part of their group, the Straw Hats, Heart Pirates, and members of the Mink Tribe gathered to plan their next moves. They knew they had two critical missions ahead of them.

Pedro, Carrot, and the other minks joined the meeting, bringing their insights and experiences.

"We need to split into two teams," Law said, taking the lead in outlining their strategy.

Luffy, always eager for action, immediately jumped in. "I'll lead the team to save Sanji! Nami, Brook, Pedro and Chopper will come with me."

Pedro nodded, his face serious. "Big Mom's territory is dangerous. But I have been there before, I can help you. Not to mention, not many people know where the poneglyph is in the Cake Island."

Chopper, although nervous, was resolute. "We'll save Sanji no matter what!"

Meanwhile, Kirito, standing beside Zoro, Robin, and Ussop, was ready for the second mission. "Our team will go to Wano. We need to gather allies and prepare for the battle to liberate the country from Kaido's rule."

Zoro grinned. "I'm ready. Better than attenting that cooks wedding."

"We need to locate Kozuki Oden's allies and rally them for the fight. Wano's liberation will be a massive undertaking. But don't forget our main goal. Our main goal is to bring down Kaido."

Pedro looked at Kirito. "You're impressive, Kirito. With your skills, we'll have a better chance."

Kirito, humble but confident, replied, "We'll do whatever it takes to succeed. I also have a reason to go to Wano." Kirito said as he thought of Asuna.

The teams were set. Luffy's group would head to Cake Island to rescue Sanji from Big Mom's clutches. Kirito's group would make their way to Wano, ready to gather allies and prepare for the coming battle against Kaido.

Luffy's team took Sunny while Kirito and others took other ship.

Luffy, always the spirited one, gave a thumbs up. "Let's save Sanji and take down Kaido!"

Zoro smirked, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "We'll handle whatever comes our way."

With the final preparations made, the Straw Hats, Heart Pirates, and their allies set off on their respective missions. The journey to Whole Cake Island and Wano would be fraught with danger, but their resolve was unwavering.

As they sailed away from Zou, the memories of their time there and the bonds they had formed stayed with them. The adventures that lay ahead would test their limits, but together, they knew they could overcome anything.
