Arriving at the tavern, both ex Yakuza take 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 a gun 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 you family before, so what makes you leave Wano? Your boss was Kyoshiro, right?"
"Yeah, you know about him? I left Wano because I want to see the outside world looks like, nothing personal."
"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 target few kilometres away, so what is that magic you showed me at back at the beach?"
"Eh, it's just something I learned back on New World on some island, I forgot what the island 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 on the tavern drinking and works as a bouncer for the tavern, aside from getting drunk and kicking some troublemakers out of the tavern, he spent his spare time getting used to his new strength and learn few tricks helped by The Helper.
He now can lift up to a few tons and crush a boulder with the size of a house with few punches and a single swing with a full-size Norimitsu, and his regeneration speed also improved although he still has to reattach his limb if got cut instead of growing a whole new limb.
While Koujiro drinking on the bar, as usual, Jin visit the tavern and took a seat next to him, and ordered few shots of whiskey.
"My informer said that the dogs are coming tomorrow, I and my men are ready, you've studied the palace's blueprint?"
Jin said 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 you going to the high town, I could use a ride there to save time."
Koujiro said before Jun walks out the tavern.
Next day early in the morning, Koujiro already sitting at the bar waiting for Jin and his men, few minutes of waiting and a sake bottle later, Jin arrived in front of the tavern with driving a carriage.
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
"Yo, hop in, the other carriage already on its way to the high town."
Jin said while standing on the door.
Koujiro walked out of the tavern then hopped on the carriage sitting next to Jin. A few minutes later they arrived on the almost empty high town, passing through a gate with two guards, they checked the carriage and ask what is their purpose entering the high town, saying that they're doing a construction job on a noble mansion, the guards let him pass.
Dropping Koujiro near the Royal Palace, Jin drive the carriage towards the inner area of 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 run 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 destroy everything in his path and heads straight towards the treasury.
Meanwhile, on a mansion, Jin and his men are unloading their stuff from the carriage a scroll dropped from the carriage's seat, picking up the scroll Jin opened it and see 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 sketch on the blueprint.
On the Royal Palace, Koujiro kill everyone that blocking his way, after a few minutes of destroying walls and killed some guards, he reached the treasury, destroying the huge metal double doors after few swings of his huge swords, there he sees a mountain of gold and money inside the treasury.
Putting everything inside the treasury into his inventory in seconds, he immediately runs straight the main gate, killing some guards that just arrived, Koujiro keep walking towards the high town gate, on his way toward the gate, he noticed a carriage parked in front of a mansion, recognizing the carriage is the one who 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 tavern, I'll kill the guards on the gate."
Koujiro shouted while standing at the doorway then run towards the high town gate killing the guards there.
Leaving the high town area, he found an empty house and take a quick bath cleaning all the blood from his body.
After taking a bath, he wears his last set of clean clothes and stores his weapons into the inventory, exiting the house he walks slowly towards the tavern while a bunch of soldiers running towards the high town.
After an hour of waiting for Jin on the tavern, he arrived on the tavern wearing a big smile on his face.
"Heh, you met the soldiers?"
Koujiro said 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 chug it halfway.
"Nah, it's too noisy in here earlier, they were talking about some kid on a boat got 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 get there to hide the carriages everything is burned down."
"Got any plan where to go after this?"
Koujiro asked Jin.
"I got no plan for now, just waiting for things to cool down then sell all the loot and split it with the boys."
"How about sail with me? I got 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 are 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 handshake 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 walked out the tavern and Jin just waved his hand.
Drinking his ass off until the tavern close, he fell asleep on the bar like every other day.
Waking up early in the morning from the alarm sound inside his head, he gets out of the tavern and walks 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 takes out the ship by placing the portal above the water dropping the ship.
The ship is 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 miniature 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 on to the ship, Koujiro look around then take asleep on a hammock hanged near the ship mast.
