I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 578 The King's Mercy is also Oppression
Now that the banquet is over, it's time to start the killing.

There are still many things that have not been dealt with in Wano Country. Kurozumi Orochi and those rebellious samurai are not the whole of Wano Country. Those who are truly rooted in Wano Country are the nobles who have the title of dukes and nobles.

Kaido's invasion and Kurozumi Orochi's rule have only forced the five major families of Wano Country, Kozuki, Amae, Shimotsuki, Fugetsu, and Ugetsu, to retreat into the darkness, but people still exist, and the nobles under these families are living a better life.

These individuals are Lily's main targets for elimination.

Although Kaido wanted to use war to overthrow the nobles, Kurozumi Orochi had always been in charge before that. He didn't want to care about how the power in Wano Country was divided. He only wanted to build a weapons factory.

It doesn’t mean that some things will disappear just because the family is gone. If you want them to disappear, you must clean them up thoroughly!

A run-down village.

"Crane Girl! I found you!"

A group of pirates rushed into the dilapidated town, surrounded a tea stall and the woman in the blue kimono.

The sudden commotion startled the people who were eating and drinking tea in the tea stall. They immediately moved away, but they did not run away.

As for this village close to the Flower Capital, they are also deeply harmed by pirates.

Kaido has never truly mastered Wano Country, and the same is true for Kurozumi Orochi. Although he killed the daimyos who refused to pledge allegiance to him in various places, he only achieved this point and did not gain a deeper understanding of the country.

Kaido is on Onigashima, Orochi is in the Flower Capital, and they don't care much about the rest. At most, they just let the pirates move around. Some villages and towns have been robbed by pirates.

It's just like robbing the surrounding islands that haven't paid protection fees. Those islands will only be protected if they pay protection fees. If they don't pay protection fees, not only other pirates, but even the big pirates that cover their sphere of influence will still rob them.

Pirates, that's what they are.

Generally speaking, if they see pirates, they should run away immediately.

But this group of pirates was different. After a few days of distributing food and relief, they felt that the pirates called the "Disaster Pirates" were all good people. Apart from distributing food, they did not do anything to oppress others. They were even better than those former samurai masters.

As if they were treating them as equals, some people even helped others build houses and repair things when they were drunk.

This made some people understand these people. Although they were still pirates, before becoming pirates, they were all repairmen and ordinary vendors in certain places.

They are all transformed from ordinary people.

This made the people nearby let down their guard. Although they didn't communicate with the people arm in arm, they didn't run away when they saw people either.

It seemed that after the natural disaster came, those vicious pirates who had robbed them from the Beasts Pirates had become better.

Occasionally when I passed by and eavesdropped, I heard them say that when a new captain was replaced, everyone had to abide by the new captain's rules. Those who did not abide by the rules had been skinned and boned at the port. I heard that the bones had been turned into the shape of wings, like a blood eagle!
Those pirates are also afraid, so they are not afraid anymore.

Now that the pirates have surrounded this place, they did not leave immediately, but just watched nervously.

"I wonder what you want from a country woman like my daughter?"

The crane girl stroked the hair that fell on her forehead, and said calmly, "If you want to take the rice balls, I can give them to you. Besides that, there is nothing else for you to grab here."

"He's quite good at talking."

A crisp voice was heard from behind the pirate.

The men automatically separated into two rows, revealing the blonde beauty who had appeared on the national live broadcast.

"What do you want to incite with this? After Sarge came, he never robbed you of anything because you were too poor and you were the weak."

Lily looked at the Crane Girl coldly, "Don't blame others for things that didn't happen. That's malicious rumor-mongering and a rebellion that is trying to shake the foundation of Sage's rule. Besides, you are not a country woman or an ordinary person. You are the leader of the 'Nine Evils of the Red Scabbards' and the wife of 'Foxfire' Kin'emon, the biggest retainer of the Kozuki Family who is hindering their rule."

The crane girl's pupils shrank and cold sweat ran down her forehead.

It was discovered
It’s not difficult to know this.

The royalist intelligence system is connected to the entire Flower City, and during this period of time it has also been expanded. There are animals of all sizes wearing surveillance glasses in various locations across the country, reporting what they see and hear.

Nobles and ministers from all over the country, the remaining daimyo families, and even the families of these samurai were all found out.

In addition, by sending out Foz F and the newly defected Oniwabanshu, it would not be too easy to gather intelligence here.

Once we find it, we will naturally start killing!
It was even easier to identify it because Lily didn't want to identify it at all.

No matter if they are relatives or family members, anyone who mentions the names on the list will be put on her kill list once they are monitored!

If you kill all ten people, there might be some innocent people, but if you kill every other one among the ten people, there will definitely be some who slip through the net!
Sage paid for them free food out of his own pocket, saving them from starvation, and supplies were provided in a steady stream until the work promised to them was fulfilled.

At this time, normal people would be grateful. Those who worry about the former rebel group and curse Sag are definitely not normal people.

Then kill!

"Originally, as a warrior class, you can be forgiven. You have no real power and no right to rule, but you have declared that you can rebel in the name of restoring the master. Unless you pledge allegiance again, just like those warriors pledged allegiance to Sager, otherwise..."

Lily said coldly: "All those who are close to him will be killed!"

This is never a game!

This is a life-and-death fight!
Kill them all, then there will be no oppression in this place!
Sag will not oppress them, and no one except Sag is qualified to oppress them!
"What loyalty? The shameful name 'Orochi Samurai'?!"

The Tsurugi stopped pretending and shouted, "Wano Country is the Wano Country of the Kozuki family! It is passed down from generation to generation. It is not Kurotan, nor is it just a pirate from the outer sea! One day, someone will definitely expel the barbarians and defeat the Tokugawa shogunate!"

As she said that, she took out the wakizashi hidden at her waist and rushed towards Lily.

laugh!
A flash of cold light caused her movements to slow down. A line of blood appeared on her neck, and when she fell, blood spurted out like a fountain.

Lily didn't even look at it, turned around and left, "Next one."

Before arriving at Jiuli, she had already cleaned up the surroundings, from far to near.

The God of Wealth Town in Baiwu area was the first to take action.

Return to the port of Linghou area.

The Tokei Port in the Usagi region.

Neko Port in the Hime region.

Now, it is the largest area of ​​Jiuli.

Kill all the remaining warriors and nobles.

Edit the village.

A village in the Kuri area, famous in Wano Country for producing bamboo hats.

And here, there is a swordsmith, Tenguyama Hichetsu, wearing a Tengu mask and standing on stilts.

At this time, the place where he was was still surrounded by pirates. The door of the house was wide open, and Tenguyama Hichet was kneeling on the ground, as if waiting for something, and there was no sound under the mask.

"Kotsuki Sukiyaki."

Lily walked in and looked down at the kneeling Tengushan Feiche, "You're in trouble."

"It was discovered"

The man took off the red Tengu mask, revealing an old face.

It was the former daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country and also the former shogun, Kotsuki Sukiyaki.

"Pirates, you are such a hateful bunch. You are even more hateful than Kaido. You have killed all the innocent people."

Kozuki Sukiyaki hated Lily, but also had some confusion, "Why? If it was just for the sake of ruling, the food distribution policy implemented by that pirate should be enough."

"This is the difference between us. I have studied your deeds among the people."

Lily said: "You are a good general. You value order and law. Under your rule, people do not commit crimes."

"If that's the case, why are you still insisting on it? I'm just a knife maker now."

Kozuki Sukiyaki said: "When I was the general, I also took good care of the civilians under my rule."

"When you say caring for someone, do you mean that when you see someone who can't pay taxes, you pay the taxes on his behalf to save him from starvation?"

Lily said: "This level of care is nothing compared to what we have given you. Your natural identity destined you to be the oppressed party. You are the last one. When you die, we will announce it to Wano Country, telling them that the rulers of Wano Country and those with bloodlines and claims will disappear completely."

The king's act of mercy to the common people was at most this, and it could only be this way.

They cannot change the rules that are based on their rule, as that would undermine their foundation.

And those rulers who are unable to delve deeper and understand the truth will, according to their status, do a good deed in the eyes of the public.

but
That was originally theirs!

It's always been theirs!

laugh!
Lily grasped the hilt of the sword, and immediately a ray of light appeared, cutting a line on Kozuki Sukiyaki's neck, then she turned and left.

"Take the head and broadcast it live first, then go around the whole country of Wano and tell them that the old rule is over and the new rule has arrived!"

……

The five major families and local nobles all disappeared in the territory of Wano Country under Lily's personal efforts.

No matter who you are, no matter what you have done, no matter what your difficulties are, or no matter your age.

Only one piece of charcoal was left.

The Kurozumi family was originally a noble family of Wano Country, but after Lily's investigation, she found that the family had long had a bad reputation.

Before Kurozumi Orochi became the shogun, this family had tried to rebel against the rule of the Kozuki family and was expelled from the family. They were hated by everyone in Wano Country, and members of the family even hid their surnames just to survive.

For example.
"Kurozumi Yu, and Kurozumi Kanjuro."

In the banquet hall of the Black Ship, Sager sat on the throne, looking at the purple-haired girl who looked nervous and rubbed her hands with her head down.

A strange beast beside her bared its fangs, trying to protect Ayu, but under Sag's gaze, it lowered its body and trembled slightly.

A little further away, there was a tall man with bangs of blood-red hair and Kabuki makeup kneeling on the ground.

After Sager glanced at them, he turned to the strange beast and said with a smile: "Is this the Komainu? It looks like the stone lions at the door. Wano Country is really a good place, with many rare and exotic animals."

Lily, who was standing by, nodded and said, "Hawkins found a deer with flaming mane in Wano Country, and he seemed to like it very much."

There are quite a few exotic beasts in Wano Country, including majestic giant bulls with fur as black as flowing light, giant chickens with combs like flames, and even dinosaurs. These things are probably not native to the country, but were brought from some ancient islands by Kaido's men.

"Well, let Lao Huo mark out an area to ensure a good environment. These animals are quite rare and cannot be found anywhere else. Don't waste them."

The architecture of Wano Country can be found similar to that in the sea, but the animals produced in Wano Country are unique and cannot be seen in the sea.

Collecting it is also a kind of treasure.

"Let me talk about you two from the Black Charcoal Family. Logically, you should have been executed by Lily, but I kept you."

"Yes, thank you very much, Governor!"

Kanjuro touched his head to the ground and said respectfully: "I am willing to serve the Governor-General! The Kurotan family has been loyal to the Governor-General for generations!"

It was he who revealed to Sage that Kozuki Sukiyaki was still alive.

Because Kurozumi Orochi usurped the throne and imprisoned him in the deep layer, he disappeared and his body was never found.

It’s hard to say if we haven’t seen the body, so we have to investigate.

Unexpectedly, they actually found it out, and they did what Kanjuro had always wanted to do.

The five major families are gone, and the environment in Wano Country that has made the Kurozumi family always despised is about to disappear. Those nobles are all dead, and no one will discriminate against them anymore. They can restore their names and live upright in this country.

what?
Can only be a civilian?
In the past, they were not even qualified to be civilians.

Just like pests, once their identities are discovered, they will be hunted down and killed.

Kurozumi Orochi's parents are, and so are his parents.

"Master, is he dead?"

Ah Yu's eyes were filled with tears, but she tried hard not to cry out loud, "But, but my master did nothing wrong, my parents were also killed by pirates, you asked me to surrender, I, I..."

"Your parents were killed by pirates in a weapons factory."

Lily said, "But the source is that your parents were afraid that your surname would be discovered, so they did the lowest-level job in the eyes of Wano Country. They hid their identities and were looked down upon by everyone and treated as abandoned children. Even in the weapons factory, they were used as slaves by those craftsmen. In the final analysis, it is still Wano Country."

"No one knows why Kozuki Sukiyaki took you in. You can cry for him, but you have to understand that you became like this because of this place."

Lily said: "Stay alive, Sage will allow you to have a new life."

Except for those who should be killed, not all others should be killed.

A little girl like this should have the chance to live and choose her life again.
