Arriving at the inn, both ex Yakuza took a seat on the table Jin used earlier and ordered some snacks and drinks to accompany their conversations.
"Well, tell me about yourself, Jin."
Koujiro started the conversation while handing out Jin a bottle of sake and opened one for himself.
"Where should I start … I came from the Arisaka family, you probably never heard of us, we were just a small family back then when Wano still ruled by the Kozuki family, but when Orochi and the Beast pirate take over, we Arisaka family become gunsmiths, but I'm better at using guns rather than making one, so I joined the Yakuza. That's pretty much it I guess."
Jin said then opened his sake, taking a sip, his eyes widened for a moment then just shrugged it off because he is more a whiskey kind of guy.
"Yeah, I never heard of your family before, so what makes you leave Wano? Your boss was Kyoshiro, right?" Asked Koujiro.
"Yeah, you know about him? I left Wano because I want to see what the outside world looks like, nothing personal. How about you? What made you leave Wano?" Asked Jin back.
"Nothing much, I left Wano pretty much after boss Hyogoro got captured by Orochi's men. So, that rifle of yours made by your family?"
"Yeah, my father made it, it's the best rifle he ever made, but I modified it a little bit so I can fight with it in close combat. I actually fight better at close combat rather than the usual sniper style but I still can shoot targets a few kilometres away. So, what's that magic you showed me back at the beach?"
"Eh, it's just something I learned back on New World on some island, I forgot what the island was called."
Koujiro said bullshitting about his inventory.
Both men talked back and forth about their journey for hours, mostly Koujiro's stories came from The Helper.
"Let me know when the dogs are coming, I'll clean up the palace's treasury hehehe, I'll stay here in the meantime."
Koujiro said getting up from his seat then walked towards the bar to continue drinking.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A month and a half passed, Koujiro spent his time mostly at the inn drinking and working as a bouncer for the bar, aside from getting drunk and kicking some troublemakers out of the inn, he spent his spare time getting used to his new strength and learn a few tricks helped by The Helper.
He now can lift up to a few tons and crush a boulder the size of a house with a few punches and a single swing with the full-size Norimitsu. His regeneration speed also improved, although he still had to reattach his limb if got cut instead of growing a whole new limb.
While Koujiro was drinking at the bar, as usual, Jin came to the inn, took a seat next to him and ordered a few shots of whiskey.
"My informer said that the dogs are coming tomorrow, me and my men are ready, you've studied the palace's blueprint?"
Jin asked after taking a shot of whiskey.
"I've taken a look at the blueprint, I know where the goods are."
"Alright, I just came to tell you that, I have to prepare some stuff and round up the men, remember, make it noisy up there."
"Got it, pick me up first before going to the high town, I could use a ride there to save time."
Koujiro said before Jin left the inn.
Next day early in the morning, Koujiro was already sitting at the bar waiting for Jin and his men. After a few minutes of waiting and a sake bottle later, Jin arrived in front of the inn driving a carriage.
"Yo, hop in, the other carriage is already on its way to the high town."
Jin said while standing at the door.
Koujiro walked out of the inn then hopped on the carriage sitting next to Jin. A few minutes later they arrived at the almost empty high town, passing through a gate with two guards, they checked the carriage and asked what their purpose was for entering the high town, saying that they're doing a construction job on a noble mansion, the guards let them pass.
Dropping Koujiro near the Royal Palace, Jin drove the carriage towards the inner area of the high town.
After a few minutes waiting for Jin to rob his target, Koujiro pulled out the Normitsu then ran towards the Royal Palace main gate.
"Hold there and drop your weapon!"
Shouted one of the guards after spotting a man running towards them while holding a huge sword.
Koujiro ignored the guards and ran through the guards swinging his sword, cutting the guards in pieces and destroying the gate.
Sounds of walls and buildings getting destroyed from the Royal Palace can be heard throughout the high town, making all the guards around the high town heading to the Royal Palace.
Koujiro cut and destroyed everything in his path and headed straight towards the treasury.
Meanwhile, in a mansion, Jin and his men were unloading their stuff from the carriage, a scroll dropped from the carriage's seat. Picking up the scroll, Jin opened it and saw the Royal Palace's blueprint that he gave to Koujiro with a straight line from the main gate towards the treasury drawn on it.
"Hehe, what a crazy man."
Jin said after seeing the straightforward plan that Koujiro sketched on the blueprint.
At the Royal Palace, Koujiro killed everyone that was blocking his way. After a few minutes of destroying walls and killing some guards, he reached the treasury, destroying the huge metal double doors with a few swings of his huge swords, he saw a mountain of gold and money inside the treasury.
Putting everything into his inventory in seconds, he immediately ran straight to the main gate, killing some guards that just arrived. Koujiro kept running towards the high town gate, on his way toward the gate, he noticed a carriage parked in front of a mansion, recognizing the carriage was the one Jin used earlier, he turned around and entered the mansion.
"Yoo Jin, you guys better hurry up, I saw some soldiers running towards the high town from the town centre, meet me at the inn, I'll kill the guards at the gate."
Koujiro shouted while standing at the doorway then ran towards the high town's gate killing the guards there.
Leaving the high town area, he found an empty house and took a quick bath cleaning all the blood from his body.
After taking a bath, he wore his last set of clean clothes and stored his weapons into the inventory. Exiting the house, he walked slowly towards the tavern while a bunch of soldiers ran towards the high town.
After an hour of waiting for Jin in the inn, He arrived at the inn wearing a big smile on his face.
"Heh, you met the soldiers?"
Koujiro asked while handing out a bottle of whiskey to Jin.
"Yeah we did, we killed them all though, you didn't hear the gunshots?"
Jin replied, then opened his bottle of whiskey and chugged it halfway.
"Nah, it's too noisy in here earlier, they were talking about some kid on a boat getting shot by a cannon on the port and the grey terminal got burned down last night. I just heard about it from these goons, you got nice loot?"
Koujiro just shrugged, not caring about what happened.
"Oh yeah, I heard about the grey terminal this morning, when we got there to hide the carriages, everything was burned down."
"Got any plan where to go after this?"
Koujiro asked Jin.
"I have no plan for now, just waiting for things to cool down, then sell all the loot and split it with the boys."
"How about you sail with me? I have a ship on the gulf near the grey terminal, it's a frigate so we can operate it with ten men. Bring along your heist crew, I don't know if there is a witness or not, but it's better to flee from the kingdom after what you guys did."
Koujiro already bought a ship on his way back from the high town using the money he took from the Royal Palace.
"Sail like a pirate?"
Jin asked him.
"Umm yeah, you're already a criminal anyway, you can be the first mate if you want."
"I would go with you, but I'll talk with the men first."
Jin accepted and both men shook hands to seal the deal.
"Wait, also bring your loot to the ship tomorrow, I can help you sell them."
Koujiro said to Jin before he left the inn and Jin just waved his hand.
Drinking his ass off until the bar closed, he fell asleep on the bar like every other day.
Waking up early in the morning from the alarm sound inside his head, he got out of the inn and walked toward the grey terminal to take out the ship he bought and place it where he agreed to meet Jin yesterday.
Arriving at the gulf area on the grey terminal, he took out the ship by placing the portal above the water dropping the ship.
The ship was a three-masted frigate, her stern was decorated in crimson-red and gold colours, along with the name of the vessel. The bow and the sterncastle were decorated with numerous skeletons, while the outer walls of the captain's cabin were decorated with numerous skulls, with fifteen cannons on each side and two chase guns in front of the ship.
Hopping onto the ship, Koujiro looked around then fell asleep on a hammock hanging near the ship mast.
