Kanjuro was missing.
No one knew where he went, but no one seems to saw him after Kaido's rampage.
''And no one will.' Yuta thought to himself with a smile on his face.
'Anti-Bully provision 99… the very second last of the provision on my long non-used anti-bully guildlines which I honestly hardly got any use of.
It was the last provision since the higher the number the serious the action taken.
And 99 stands for Kidnaped and Silenced…'
Beyond this, it was outright war. Something no one would like to see, especially him at that age when he was quirkless, weak and pretty powerless.
While he never used any of those provison pass 33, which only goes as far as accidental injury to hospitalise the boys or some how don't let them come to school, the guidebook he almost though would be useless to him came in handy now.
'Seems everything got it used, isn't it.' He mused.
With Kanjuro out of the picture, there would no one feeding intel to Kurozumi. The alliance members did seems down and worried about their, 'Very Trusted' friend going missing, however, Yuta was sure that it won't last for long.
Not like they have any other option about it, Kanjuro gone now.
'While I might be a Hero, but I'm no new comer to killing. I have kill when times needed me to and I'll intent to do it in future as well.' Yuta let out a sigh.
"Hey Yuta, why you're ignoring me. Come on, tell us already how come did you heard Kaido." Luffy shouted, annoyed at him losing so badly against that Dragon while Yuta who was actually few years younger than him come out on top so easily.
Well, if only he was consious to see the entire fight, Yuta by no means would say he came out on top, let alone easily ?
"Yes, Yuta was awesome. He fought Kaido on equal footing. Almost beat him." Chooper's eyes sparkled with awe, recalling the battle.
Currently little reindeer was healing both him and Luffy who was still grumbling.
And Law was also there, apparently the guy got shot by a Sea Stone nailed by Hawkins.
He too looked interested in knowing how Yuta bypass that almost inpenetrable defence of Kaido.
"Its called Ryou… or Internal Destruction." Yuta didn't mind explaining, if anything he would like if Luffy learns it.
"Its an application of Armament Haki. Here let me show you." Yuta covered his finger with Armament Haki and flick it at Luffy's shoulder.
"Ahaaaa…. It hurts, its hurts, it hurts."
Immense pain rank in his shoulder, he started to jump like an monkey who's ball's have been stepped on.
"What was that for." he asked irritably.
"To show you how important that technique of Haki is. Remember that feeling, you'll gonna need if you wish to kill beat Kaido." Yuta just shrugged, no caring much about the boy's pain.
He had faced much more pain during his training, why not a bit of it seen felt my the Protagonist too. Its only fair right.
"You want to learn it as well." Yuta turned to Law, finger already ready with Armament Haki.
"No thanks, I'll pass." Law was quick enough to leave the room entirely before Yuta's can flick his finger again.
'Tch, he's no fun.'
"Anyways, do you wish to learn this technique or what ?" Yuta faced Luffy seriously.
"Hell I do. I'm gonna beat that Kaido's ass." Irritable but still determined, Luffy nodded his head in confirmation.
"Good, then go ask Maki to tech you then."
"Eh! You're not gonna teach me ?" He looked like he heard it wrong.
"Nope, I got better things to do."
"Then why did you hit me." He complained, almost like a kicked puppy.
"How else you would knew how important this technique is to beat Kaido."
"Ahhhh…I'll get you for this you know."
"We'll see." Yuta Shurgged. Not interested to bicker with him.
…
Leaving Luffy in Maki's capable yet irritated hands, for dumbing the dumbest dum dum on her lap to get train, Yuta left the hidden hideout for Udon.
The team needed men and the only way to do so is through gather the remaining free samurai who are willingly to fight for Wano and Kozuki name and freeing those who were already imprisoned foor attempting the same before.
Meaning going to Udon, the prison of Wano. Kaido had many imprisioned there. The rebellion would need their help for that.
And thus he did exactly that.
Leaving the hideout, he crept along the outer wall of Udon Prison, watching guards march in pairs. The place looked like a fortress — high stone walls, watchtowers, and the smell of sweat and iron in the air. He turned to Maki, who stood beside him, ready and calm.
"We can't just smash the gate," Law said. "Too many reinforcements. If we rush in, they'll kill the prisoners to stop a riot."
He brought Law just in case.
Yuta nodded. "Right. Plan A: sneak inside, find the men who actually want to fight for Wano, convince them, then break them out quietly. Less blood, more chaos for Kaido later."
Law Snorted. "Don't be so optimism. Do you really thing after so many years of imprisonment they will be willing to fight just cause you ask nicely. And more importantly how do you plan to get past the walls?"
"Leave the former for me, as for the latter its even simplier, disguise and distraction," Yuta smiled.
"You cause a disturbance on the west tower — make them focus there. I'll slip through the supply gate with a cart. Queen's men do supply checks. He won't expect a kid hiding behind barrels."
Law looked at Yuta like an idiot, he only asked to make him use his devil fruit.
You know, Ope Ope No Mi, space power and all. Its easy to bypass those walls with those. But what this idiot does…
Sighing, Law decided to do what Yuta planned in the end. While going in with his devil fruit might be easy, however, it wouldn't be hard to avoid Queen's men. Distracting them is better anyway.
Turns out Yuta was pro at this.
The distraction worked better than expected. Law tossed a small flare that exploded with noise and smoke on the west side. Guards ran toward the commotion. Yuta, disguised as a low-level laborer, pushed a creaky cart through the supply gate while the sergeant barked orders.
Inside, the prison smelled worse. Yuta moved like a shadow, following notes he'd gathered from spies and a few friendly faces among the workers. He found the cellblock where most of the rebellious samurai and ex-samurai were held. Through the bars he saw hardened faces — but eyes that still burned with purpose.
Yuta tapped on the bars. An old samurai peered out. "Who are you?"
"Name's Yuta," he said softly. "New here. Please take care of me."
He wasn't planning on convincing them immediately. First he had to gather intel and that would take time.
With him inside, Law's job was too done, he didn't plan to linger, he rather go and find out how much Yuta's intel about Big Mom coming here hold weight.
