Chapter 258: Fake

On the 2nd floor, Oden runs around but can't find Orochi. So he goes up but still can't find any trace of Orochi. Oden goes to the upper floors to find Orochi and finally finds him on the 5th floor.

Well, at least that's what he thought because the one there isn't Orochi but someone else, an old woman, Kurozumi Higurashi. The old woman has Clone Clone Fruit that allows her to change her appearance into someone else.

"Nikyokyokyo, are you looking for Lord Orochi, Oden? Too bad, he isn't here," says Higurashi.

"Higurashi!? Damn, where is Orochi?" asks Oden angrily.

"Who knows? Maybe he is busy destroying Kuri now, nikyokyokyo," laughs Higurashi sinisterly. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Oden widens his eyes hearing that because that means Orochi is attacking Kuri now. It makes Oden angry and he rushes to attack Higurashi while shouting angrily. He jumps and then swings his swords at Higurashi.

*CLANG*

But Oden's swords suddenly hits a greenish transparent barrier.

"Semimaru!?" says Oden in surprise when he sees an old man sitting on the back.

"Nikyokyokyo, you won't have any chance, Oden. Do it, Semimaru!" orders Higurashi.

Suddenly, the barrier transforms into a big ball that entraps Oden inside it. The 2 Kurozumis plan to make Oden unable to move by trapping him inside a barrier.

"Let me go, you two!" shouts Oden as he tries to attack the barrier using his sword, but no scratch is formed.

"Nikyokyokyo, it's futile, Oden, you will just stay there and wait for everything you've fought for to get destroyed," says Higurashi.

"Damn! I won't forgive you," says Oden angrily.

*BOOM*

Suddenly, an explosion happens at Oden's location and engulfs him. But when the dust disappears, the barrier & Oden can be seen to be fine.

"What happen?" asks Higurashi in confusion.

"Mr. Oden, please calm down. You can get out of this predicament easily if you are calm. Your judgment has become dull because you don't think calmly," says Dela who is standing near the stairs from below with her secretary suit.

Dela is holding a riffle which she used to shoot an explosive bullet just now. She wanted to test the barrier's toughness, but it was a lot tougher than she thought. The explosive bullet couldn't even scratch it even though it has high destructive power.

"Dela-chan! Why are you here?" asks Oden.

"Vice-Captain ordered me to see what you're up to when he saw you ran here. I never thought that you would get caught by enemies," says Dela.

"Haha, sorry about this. Wait! It's not the time to do this, Kuri is in danger! Orochi is attacking Kuri," says Oden.

Says Dela as he runs down the stairs to the lower floor. Semimaru stops the barrier ball right in front of the stairs leading down. He can't see the lower floor so he can't control the barrier ball to chase Dela.

To defeat Semimaru, Dela needs to come up again. So she will need to go through the stairs again. He just needs to prevent that from happening so he uses the barrier ball to block the entrance.

Semimaru then changes the barrier's shape from a ball to a square to fit the entrance. Dela won't be able to pass through it so she needs to take a detour for other entrances located far away. Of course, Oden is still inside the barrier, dizzy from the roll before.

Semimaru is just about to get up to check on Higurashi, but suddenly, *BOOM BOOM BOOM*. The floor below and around him suddenly explode and collapse. The explosions aren't big but the floor is still collapsing and he is engulfed in it.

Those explosions also make the surrounding area collapse including the entrance where Oden is. They also destroyed the lower floor, the 4th floor. Oden, Higurashi, & Semimaru then fall to the 3rd floor together.

The barrier that traps Oden disappears as the explosions happen. So now Oden needs to protect himself without the barrier. But it's easy for Oden to do it. He just needs to cover his body with A-Haki.

The rubbles from the 4th & 5th floors fall & gather on the 3rd floor. After some moments, someone comes out from the rubbles, it's Oden. Something like this won't injure him too much even if he doesn't use Haki.

"*Cough cough*, what happened? Why do the floors suddenly collapse?" asks Oden while looking up at the big holes.

"It seems you are fine, huh?" asks Dela as she approaches Oden from afar.

"Huh? Dela-chan, was this your doing?" asks Oden.

"Yes, I put explosives below the location where that old man sits. Although it seems I overdid it a little," says Dela.

Dela suddenly throws some grenades into the rubbles and creates big explosions again. Oden runs while yelling at her to stop.

"Hmm, now they've died for sure," says Dela while looking at 2 charred corpses.

"Uh, are they Higurashi & Semimaru?" asks Oden.

"Yes, they haven't died, so I needed to kill them because Captain gave a direct order to kill these 2 if we met them. Their abilities are too troublesome. Now, Lord Oden, what's your next move?" asks Dela.

Oden thinks for a while before answering, "I will return to Kuri."
