Today is December 15th.

Half a month has passed since the Rising Sun Port incident at the beginning of the month.

During the past half month, the senior management of Wano Country did not care about the wanted members of the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates who were free in the sea, and focused all their energy on the investigation of the vicious assassination - trying to catch up before

The special operations investigation team of the World Government in Beijing found out an explanation as soon as possible.

But as the investigation deepened, they found themselves trapped in a muddy swamp.

The man hiding behind the dark golden dragonfly mask suddenly appeared out of thin air.

And every time he appears, he is either in a hurry or on the road to rush for time. His actions are always so decisive and ruthless, without any sloppiness at all.

Like a dragonfly touching water, it splits at the first touch.

Appeared very unexpectedly,

And disappeared very suddenly.

This left Masato Ishikawa, the leader of the task force ordered by the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate and the former head of the Investigation Section 1, quite helpless. For the past half month, every morning when I got up from bed, my hair would fall out in handfuls.

Originally, he planned to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup every day, get a hairstyle after retirement, introduce it to his marriage and find a second spring in his life, but now his plan has changed to look for a suitable wig first.

Tomorrow, members of the World Government's Celestial Special Operation Investigation Team will arrive in New Tokyo. If they still can't find anything like they are now, then the honeymoon period between the World Government and Wano will probably end early.

Already.

By then, not only Wano's economic and trade cooperation will be sanctioned by the world government, but its status among the more than 300 allies on the mainland may also fall to the bottom. Saya, which borders Wano to the north, is now experiencing frequent civil wars.

The Grand Duchy is the best example.

Thinking about it makes me really bald!

Masato Ishikawa scratched his head in distress.

Dong dong dong—!

At this time, someone knocked on the office door.

Soon, someone from outside came in, bowed and reported quickly, "Director Ishikawa, the people from the Immigration Bureau discovered that a large number of immigrants with doubtful identities appeared at New Tokyo Airport in the past two days. From the analysis of the surveillance,

Look...it looks like they might be pirates."

Ishikawa Masato was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily, "Pirates? People from the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates still dare to come ashore?"

The visitor hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It doesn't feel like he's from the Sakamoto Dragon Pirates, or even the pirates from the East China Sea."

"Pirates from other seas?"

Masato Ishikawa pondered for two seconds.

He had a lot of things to worry about now, scratched his head and waved his hand, "Assign colleagues from other classes to keep an eye on it. Tomorrow the World Government's Celestial Special Investigation Team will come. Don't let the pirates cause any more trouble at this juncture.

"

He is a little scared now.

What if the targets of these pirates are the Celestial Beings of the Special Investigation Team - the people who saw Representative Hope die on Rising Sun Island in Wano Country and traveled thousands of miles to assassinate the investigation team?

The World Government will definitely be furious, thinking that this is a dragon's den and a tiger's den... Then the senior officials of Wano Country will probably really cry.

However, although the investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department was unable to produce any results, the Wano cabinet high-level officials put pressure on mainstream media such as NHK and Shin-Tokyo Channel.

The man behind the dragonfly mask has now become a high-risk social figure in Wano's news and public opinion, and is called "the devil hiding behind the mask to play with people's hearts."

If anyone encounters,

You must report it in time.

.....

new tokyo,

Takehara Minami Private Academy.

"Hey, hey, have you read the news? Captain Dragonfly is wanted nationwide, and there is a bounty!"

"Haha, those guys from the TV station are really following the wind. Didn't they say some time ago that Captain Dragonfly is the positive energy Wano desperately needs? And they also called on each of us to have justice driven by interest?

"

"Well... Actually, the TV station also has its own difficulties. My father works in the NHK News Department. I heard that the cabinet minister has been putting pressure on him, otherwise the News Department will have to make corrections."

"That's spineless! Huh! That Celestial Councilor should have died a long time ago. I can understand why he is wanted as a pirate. Why should Captain Dragonfly be wanted?"

"..."

In the afternoon classroom,

The sky outside is a little gloomy.

Seven or eight boys and girls in the back row of Class F of the first year gathered together before lunch break to chat about the latest hot events. Higashinohara, who was sitting in the second to last row, sat in his seat and stared at his nose and heart, as if he was an old monk in trance and entered the manual of sins.

Continue with the "Intracranial Sword Training" of Kodachi Nito Ryu.

His current level of swordsmanship in the Kodachi Two-sword style has been raised from intermediate to advanced, and then to master, but the proficiency level that needs to be upgraded has also changed from 10 to 100, so it is not as fast as before.

Fortunately, the advanced proficiency level is enough for now. Higashinohara's double-sword style swordsmanship in the afternoon practical class at the academy recently was amazing. The teacher of the practical class even called him the only swordsman genius he has ever seen in his life.

This suddenly transformed him from a weed in the repeater class that no one cared about before to a potential dark horse. The teachers and classmates in the class were very optimistic about his entrance exam at the end of February next year.

...

"Dongye, are you meditating?"

When he opened his eyes, Yuuto Aida walked towards him and whispered, "Tell me, what a good method this is. The exercise method you told me last time is of no use."

Of course it's of no use to you.

Higashinohara thought to himself, but said, "No, I worked out for a long time yesterday, so I need to take a nap to rest."

Yuuto Aida didn't dwell on this, and quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, the winter vacation is about ten years away. What are Higashino's plans?"

"Working... uh, maybe going back to my hometown." Higashinohara said not sure.

This is the first Tokyo he has spent in this world. Every January 1st of the new year in Wano is the Spring Festival, and there is a tradition of going home to celebrate the New Year. I don’t know if I will go back to my hometown at that time.

"It's part-time work again, are you the working emperor?"

Yuuto Aida rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, "We are planning to go on a study trip to Hokkaido during the winter vacation. Your home is in Hokkaido. Do you want to come too? It will take about three or four days, and it won't delay your return home for the New Year."

"You want money?"

Higashinohara asked warily.

"Don't worry, I'm using this semester's class fee, and the missing part will be covered by Mr. Tadokawa."

Yuuto Aida said mysteriously, "Don't you know, Higashino, Teacher Tatokawa is said to be the eldest daughter of the Tatokawa family, and she is the real rich woman in New Tokyo, hehehe..."

"I really don't know about this, but your smile is a bit obscene." Higashinohara reminded, "We'll see when the time comes. I'll join you when I have time."

"Okay! By the way, one more thing. There will be an ice and snow festival in the school in a while. As a commemoration of our last day in the school in the second semester, remember to participate."

"That's no problem."

Higashinohara nodded.

He knew about the Ice and Snow Festival, which was held on December 25th every year just like Christmas in previous lives.

After this day, most schools in Wano will end the second semester, take about two weeks of winter vacation, and wait until around January 7th to start the third semester.

The two of them were chatting with each other.

After a while, a little girl with long pale blond hair appeared in the corridor outside the classroom. Carrying a small schoolbag, she ran happily towards the classroom window where Higashinohara was. The natural curls at the end of her hair swayed as she ran, making her look very cute.

Dazzling.

For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted to the little girl outside the corridor, and then their eyes were turned to Higashinohara in the back row of the classroom.

After more than half a month, although it was incredible, everyone in Class F of the first year still reluctantly accepted the "setting" that the brightest rising stars of Higashinohara and Takehara Minami private schools met.

I am also used to the fact that at noon, the little girl with delicate facial features like a doll will happily stand at the back window of Class F, First Year, and share the lunch with Higashinohara with the lunch made by the family chef.

And Nishimaru Miria is also worthy of the title of the brightest rising star of Takehara Minami Private Academy. She has only been in school for just over half a month, and it is said that she can defeat the outstanding students from Class A of the first year in a practical class in the afternoon, which shows that she is a high-ranking double

The terrifying increase in strength of ability users in the talent sequence.

There were even rumors in the academy that the big shot of the Third Investigation Team had already trained this girl as his designated successor. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little envious after hearing the rumors.

How come I am not as lucky as Higashinohara to be able to meet the daughter of a big man in trouble and successfully make such a good relationship with her?

Is it because I'm not handsome enough?

...

The glass of the back door by the window was pulled open, and Nishimaru Miria was standing by the window with her little head raised, chewing sushi in her little mouth, her face full of happiness and satisfaction.

Suddenly, she remembered something again and looked at Higashinohara and asked, "Brother, do you want to go to Hokkaido together during the winter vacation?"

"Hmm? Are your class going too?"

Higashinohara was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Asuka Tachigawa was also Nishimaru Miria's class teacher. Did that guy cover the travel expenses for both classes?

The rich woman is by my side...
To be continued...
