Chapter 93 – Franky's Thoughts, the So-Called Moon
Just as Nami was about to close the cabin door—
She suddenly realized something.
Momonosuke's crying had stopped.
"Wait…"
She quickly ran back outside and rushed up the stairs.
Brook and Chopper were already standing there.
Chopper looked nervous.
"Brother Itachi… did you bully him?"
He looked around.
Itachi stood quietly nearby.
Under the orange tree, Momonosuke was curled up on the ground, trembling.
A long trail of yellow stains stretched across the deck.
"Ah!"
Chopper gasped.
"The kid wet himself!"
He immediately rushed downstairs to grab cloth and supplies.
"I need to make a diaper!"
Brook scratched his skull thoughtfully.
"Yohoho…"
"It doesn't look like Itachi-san did anything excessive."
Only a few minutes had passed since Itachi began questioning Momonosuke.
Still—
Brook secretly felt a little satisfied seeing the little pervert so frightened.
Nami walked past him and stared at Itachi.
"Did you do something to him?"
"No harm was done."
Itachi calmly shook his head and walked downstairs.
Brook raised a teacup.
"Yohoho!"
"Itachi-san, would you like some black tea?"
Itachi nodded and sat beside the railing.
Momonosuke's Panic
Meanwhile, Nami tried to comfort Momonosuke.
But suddenly—
Momonosuke pushed her away.
"You're all devils!"
"Devils!"
"I want my father!"
In his panic, he transformed into his pink dragon form and rushed down the stairs.
Nami hurried after him.
But the moment Momonosuke saw Itachi again—
He froze.
His body trembled violently.
Then he ran straight into the boys' dormitory, slammed the door shut, and hid under the blanket.
No matter how much Nami knocked—
He refused to come out.
Finally she turned toward Itachi angrily.
"Itachi!"
"What did you do to him?"
"He's just a child!"
"He's not an ordinary child."
Itachi's voice remained calm.
But something unusual appeared in his eyes.
Nami had never seen that expression before.
There was doubt.
Confusion.
And deep beneath it—
A faint hint of killing intent.
"He belongs to the Kozuki Clan."
Itachi touched the small token inside his clothes.
"The Kozuki Clan?"
Nami frowned in confusion.
"And Kin'emon is not his father."
"He's only a servant of the Kozuki family."
"A servant?!"
Nami's eyes widened.
"What do you mean?"
Itachi replied quietly.
"They are the royal family of Wano Country."
"Royal family?!"
Brook dropped the teacup he was carrying.
"Then… Momonosuke is a prince?"
Nami instinctively stepped back.
She suddenly felt as if a dangerous current surrounded the child.
"More precisely," Itachi said,
"He is the former ruler of Wano."
What Itachi Learned
The information matched the final words spoken by the crooked old man Itachi met earlier.
Inside Tsukuyomi, Itachi had forced Momonosuke to reveal his memories.
From those memories, Itachi learned something important.
The Kozuki family had been destroyed.
Only Momonosuke survived.
In the boy's memories—
His father was an incredibly powerful warrior.
A man who once sailed to the end of the Grand Line alongside the Pirate King.
But in the end—
His father was defeated.
Defeated by a horned demon.
As Itachi analyzed the memory, doubts appeared.
If Momonosuke's story was correct—
Then the battle was simply a defeat in combat.
But that didn't match the emotions Itachi had sensed from the old man earlier.
What Itachi felt then was not merely defeat.
It was something else.
Resentment.
Humiliation.
Deep unwillingness.
Those emotions did not belong to someone who had simply lost a fair fight.
Which meant—
Something else had happened in Wano Country.
Something far more complicated.
Back in the Casino Restaurant
Meanwhile, in the Dressrosa casino restaurant—
The moment Luffy pointed out the result of the roulette—
The masked leader's face darkened.
But before he could order his men to attack—
The old man suddenly drew a blade from his cane.
Flash.
He moved with incredible speed.
In an instant—
Several gang members attempting to sneak up behind him were struck.
The old man then slashed directly across the leader's body.
Yet—
There was no visible wound.
"Hey…"
"The old man's blind."
"No wonder he can't see the wheel."
"Wait… that speed!"
Luffy continued slurping his soba noodles casually.
But the gang members suddenly froze.
Then—
They collapsed to the ground.
As if an invisible mountain had fallen on them.
"So heavy!"
"What is this?!"
The masked leader struggled desperately.
But the pressure kept increasing.
Suddenly—
The entire casino floor began sinking downward around them.
The old man calmly sheathed his blade.
"There is too much evil in this world."
"And most of it cannot be seen."
Panic erupted throughout the restaurant.
"Someone attacked the Donquixote Family!"
"That foreigner is dead!"
"Run!"
Guests fled the building.
Zoro Notices Something
From his seat, Zoro watched everything with a grin.
"Like I thought."
"That old man isn't ordinary."
He raised his wine glass.
But suddenly—
He frowned.
Something felt wrong.
He looked down at his side.
"…Huh?"
One of his swords was missing.
"WHAT?!"
"Where's my sword?!"
Zoro's eyes widened.
Shusui was gone.
Kin'emon immediately exploded.
"I told you!"
"That sword belongs to Wano Country!"
"It was stolen from Ryuma's grave!"
"The national treasure!"
"And now it's gone again!"
"Shut up, you annoying samurai!"
Zoro searched frantically.
Soon he noticed something strange.
Not only his sword—
Many people inside the restaurant had lost their belongings during the chaos.
The monkey toy waiter struck his gong again.
"CLANG!"
"It must be a fairy prank!"
"Ah! A fairy prank!"
"Please do not worry!"
"It is only a fairy's joke!"
"What kind of idiot toy is this…" Zoro muttered.
Then—
He suddenly saw something shocking.
Shusui flew out of the window by itself.
"HEY!"
"You thief!"
Zoro grabbed his remaining swords and jumped out the window.
Kin'emon followed immediately.
"Shusui!"
"Give back Shusui!"
Sanji chased after them.
"Oi! Marimo! Don't run off!"
Franky remained inside.
He looked at Luffy, who was still watching the blind old man.
The others had already disappeared.
Franky crossed his arms.
"…Seriously."
"Looks like this mission will depend on me."
