Chapter 258: No Matter What Age, a Man Will Stand up When It’s Time for Him to Stand Up!
"At this time, are you still thinking about that kind of thing?!" Shinpachi shouted, "Pay attention to the atmosphere, bastard!"
"No, I just want to test whether my counting stick is still alive..." Kawaki explained, and then his expression became sad, "After all, I have become an old man. I don't know whether it is still alive or not. I am also very sad... I don't know if my old friend who has fought with me for so many years is still alive or not... really..."
After that, Kawaki wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"That kind of thing doesn't matter!" Shinpachi shouted in a somewhat broken voice, "Even if your counting stick is still alive, what will you do? What do you want to do when you become an old man?! No! That's it! If Otohime's plan succeeds, all the beautiful young ladies will disappear! Even if your counting stick is still alive, it will still be useless! "
"That's terrible! We have to stop her quickly!" Kawaki said with a frightened face and then turned to walk to the door first, "Gintoki, can you still move? Can you still "stand" up?"
"Of course," Gintoki curled the corners of his mouth and snorted, then turned and walked to the door, "Men... Even at this age, when you should "stand" up, they can still "stand" up!"
"Although I am touched that you two are determined to destroy Otohime's plan..." Shinpachi adjusted his glasses and muttered expressionlessly, "But when I think about how you two are doing this for such a boring reason, I can't feel touched..."
"Are you stupid?" The Old Toshiro on the portrait glanced at Shinpachi and spat disdainfully, "The two of them have that kind of personality. You have been with them for so long, don't you understand? The tsundere-type, both of them are the tsundere-type!"
"In other words..." Shinpachi widened his eyes as he looked at the two old men standing at the door. At one moment, Shinpachi saw Gintoki and Kawaki, standing straight in front of him, although they looked sloppy as usual, "Gin-san... Kawaki-san..."
"Truly amazing, there is actually someone who can miss a person for thousands of years..." Kawaki l looked up slightly and sighed softly, "If it were me...it would definitely not be possible..."
"That's right; it doesn't matter if it's the reason for her becoming twisted. However, to be able to maintain the longing for thousands of years, we should go and praise it in person." Gintoki rubbed his shoulders, "At least I should rub the shoulders of this old lady who has lived for thousands of years..."
"That makes sense." Kawaki smiled, "Let's attack in one go."
After saying that, Kawaki and Gintoki walked out at the same time.
"Hey! Gin-san, Kawaki-san!" Shinpachi hurriedly shouted at the backs of the two people, "It's too reckless! With that kind of body!"
"Hey, kid! Look at the screen behind you!" Old Toshiro on the portrait reminded him.
...
On the other side, in the spaceship control room where Otohime was located.
"Hehe, It's all over now!" Otohime glanced at the white-haired Otae, who was lying on the ground. Then, she turned around and walked to the Ryugu Palace control console, "The world will sink into the deep, dark sea. I'll become the only beautiful person in this whole world!"
As she spoke, Otohime forcefully slapped a switch in front of her and shouted, "Heavenly Old Age Cannon! Fire!!"
However, after a full ten seconds, Otohime did not receive any feedback from the screen in front of her.
"What's going on?!" Otohime asked into the microphone on the console.
"The main computer has been hacked." The operator on the other side replied, "Fifteen minutes until the system recovers and the Old Age Cannon fires."
Hearing this, Otohime's face was full of disbelief...
...
On the other side, Kawaki and Gintoki had just walked out of the small room in the corner where the deep freeze device was stored.
As for Shinpachi, he was stopped by Toshiro and looked at the small screen in front of him together with him.
[I have entrusted hope to you... ]
"Eh? What is this..." Before Shinpachi could finish speaking, he saw a lifting platform slowly rising on the ground beside him. On the lifting platform was a cannon bullet with a diameter of about 30 centimeters and a length of 60 centimeters.
[This is the Anti-aging vaccine I created based on Otohime-sama's research. It can destroy the Aging virus. ]
[Fire this out to cover the whole world... Please...]
[Save Otohime. ---Urashima. ]
"This is..." Shinpachi looked at the man in the deep-freeze capsule with his eyes closed in disbelief.
...
"Who is it? Who is stopping me?!" Otohime stood in place, looked around, and shouted with a ferocious face.
However, suddenly, Otohime glanced at the screen and saw Gintoki and Kawaki slowly walking over. She muttered in disbelief, "No... impossible! They become like that and still want to resist me... Even though they have become so old, they still want to challenge me?!"
"No, no!" Otohime finally noticed something, "They are heading in the direction of the cannon! Are they going to stop the Heavenly Old Age Cannon from firing?"
At this time, a broadcast sounded.
[Ten minutes until the system recovers and the Old Age Cannon fires!]
"Idiots! How can they catch up with that speed?" Otohime spat disdainfully at the microphone in front of her, "Enemies are in Area B-57! Go and catch them immediately!"
However, Otohime soon discovered that behind Kawaki and Gintoki were all armed old turtle soldiers. Their speed was basically equal to that of Kawaki and Gintoki, "Too slow! Both the enemy and our side are too slow!"
"It's a mistake!" Otohime held her head in frustration, "A complete calculation error! I should have reserved some normal soldiers in advance..."
...
"Ha, the opponents are all old men..." Gintoki held his hands behind his back and stopped to look behind him.
"Old man vs. old man, under the same conditions, you won't lose..." Kawaki also turned back to look, "Moreover... my counting stick is still alive! No... it may be dead! But now, I will pretend it is still alive at this uncertain moment! The more this moment is, the more you have to cheer yourself up! Do you think so, Gintoki?"
"As expected of Kawaki..." Gintoki replied, "But in my opinion, our counting stick is most likely dead..."
"Don't say such depressing things!" Kawaki seriously criticized, "It must still be alive! Even if it really died, you can ask Shenron to resurrect it! Shenron can resurrect people who have died once! Don't give up, Gintoki!"
Then, Kawaki and Gintoki looked at each other and nodded. Their feet speed instantly increased several times, leaving the old turtle soldier far behind!
All of this was seen by Otohime through the monitor.
"So fast! As an old man, their speed is too fast!" Otohime was shocked. Then, she looked at the turtle soldiers moving slowly behind Kawaki and Gintoki on the monitor. She said with a speechless face, "In comparison... these guards are too slow! Who are these guys?!"
"It's really annoying!" Otohime's fist heavily hit the console in front of her.
At this time, the broadcast sounded again.
[Eight minutes until the system recovers and the Old Age Cannon fires!]
"No one will say that you will be ugly after becoming an old man!" Gintoki gritted his teeth and shouted, "Let me show you the potential abilities of old men!!"
"Otohime! My counting stick is still alive!" Kawaki also shouted, "Three more shots won't be a problem!"
[Seven minutes until the Old Age Cannon fires!]
Suddenly, a group of old turtle soldiers appeared not far in front of Kawaki and Gintoki, blocking their way.
"Hold on! That's it!" the leading turtle soldier shouted, "I won't let you go any further!"
Kawaki winked at Gintoki, who was standing to the side. Then, the two of them shouted and shrank into the turtle shell. They quickly rolled over to the turtle soldiers in front of them. Regarding this... the two of them had learned it from Hasegawa and Kamenashi.
"I forgot to tell you!" Kawaki shouted, "I'm very good at bowling!"
Gintoki and Kawaki instantly dispersed the turtle soldiers.
...
On the other side, Shinpachi picked up the cannon bullet from the lifting platform and revealed a determined expression. Then, he looked at Old Toshiro's portrait on the side, "Well, I'm sorry, Hijikata-san. I can only leave you here first. Now, there are more important things to do!"
"Go quickly, boy." Old Toshiro curled his lips, "I'll leave the future of Earth to you."
"En!" Shinpachi nodded heavily and then rushed out with the Anti-aging vaccine bullet.
Two minutes later, the bored Toshiro looked at the deep-freeze capsule beside him and asked, "Do you... like mayonnaise?"
The screen: (...)
...
Looking at Kawaki and Gintoki on the monitor, Otohime took a step back in disbelief.
"Those old people... how is that possible..." Otohime murmured, "I can't believe they could do that..."
"That..." Otae slowly raised her head, "That is the creature you think is ugly and not worth mentioning. Why don't you stop them with your own ugly, twisted ways? No matter how wrinkled you become or how bent your waist is, their will is as strong and straight as a sword and will never break! If you can stop it, try it!"
...
[Six minutes until the Old Age Cannon fires!]
Kawaki and Gintoki were still running forward, but this time, Shinpachi's surprised voice sounded from behind them.
"Gin-san! Kawaki-san!" Shinpachi, holding the Anti-aging vaccine bullet, followed not far behind Kawaki and Gintoki, "Finally found it! This is the last weapon that can save the world!"
