One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 172: The Warrior's View on Beasts
"Beasts? How come they are in Wano Country?" Kozuki knew about Beasts for a simple reason. He heard from the people in Whitebeard and Roger's pirate group that Whitebeard had attended a wedding of Beasts, and Roger also said he had been there. During the trip to the New World, Roger also said he wanted to go to Beasts' territory to ask for wine, but unfortunately missed it because they were not on the same route. But they didn't expect that Beasts would actually be in Wano Country? What's going on?

"Madam Toki, this is a long story. A few years ago, General Kozuki Sukiyaki passed away. Lord Oden was not there at the time, and for some reason, Lord Sukiyaki made a guy named Kurozumi Orochi the acting general. Then after Kurozumi Orochi came to power, it didn't take long for him to find the Beasts and claim to be an ally. Many samurai and underworld heroes were persecuted by this group of hateful guys." Kin'emon said gritting his teeth.

This is what Kin'emon thinks of the beasts. In fact, this is also the view of many samurai and gangsters in Wano Country. We are living well here, why do you suddenly come out to help those untouchables? They are bullied? They deserve it, why don't we get bullied? Isn't it because they are too weak?

This is the ideology formed by the isolation and class solidification of Wano Country. Ordinary people have only a lifelong fate of being exploited by labor. The reason why the gangsters in Wano Country can have such a high reputation, and even some gangster leaders can become some daimyo or even the guests of the general, is because this is the only way for ordinary people to get by. After all, it is difficult to become a samurai. If you become a mountain bandit without enough physical strength, you will be wiped out by others at any time. But to become a gangster, you just need to be ruthless. How ruthless? They think they are going back to exploit those ordinary people like themselves.

If this kind of thing happened in another place, there would probably have been an uprising a long time ago. Regardless of whether it would succeed or not, at least there would have been people resisting. But the weird thing about Wano Country is that there is no such thing. Everyone here is a "ninja". They have endured this situation for 800 years, and no one has stood up to oppose it. Kozuki Oden's desire to go out to sea is the most rebellious behavior, but it is normal. If it were not for this situation, when Kozuki Oden did that kind of thing back then, there would have been people who would have fought with Kozuki Oden regardless of life and death, and there would not have been any so-called extraordinary man.

Maybe someone would say that this is wrong? Didn't someone complain to Kozuki Sukiyaki? Kozuki Oden was punished for this.

This incident can be said to be a way for Kozuki Sukiyaki to shut people up. Of course, Sukiyaki was not shutting up the people, but the daimyo and the like. By sending his son to a local place to be a daimyo, he would have something to say no matter how well he did. If he did well, it would naturally become a merit in the future. If he did not do well, he could be recalled and reprimanded and become the so-called son of the shogun again. There was nothing serious anyway, it was just a play. What Sukiyaki did not expect was that Kozuki Oden actually ran away and became a pirate because of this. Later, the Kurozumi family rose, and the real and fake Sukiyaki came into being. They turned the Kurozumi Orochi into the acting shogun, and by accident they attracted the World Government and the Beasts, and it became what it is now.

"Huh? But we only heard good things from the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates before?" Inuarashi asked curiously. They have been following Kozuki Oden outside in the past few years and know very little about Wano Country, but he always feels that the Beasts are not such domineering people, and just now at the Deep Port, it seems that the other party is just doing things according to the regulations. That Beasts Public Security Management Regulations is obviously a very detailed thing.

"You must have been deceived. None of those outsiders are good people. Humph, several of my brothers were captured by them, and I don't know when they can be rescued. Several others were killed by them. How can such guys be considered good people!" Kin'emon was still muttering bad things about the beasts, but Inuarashi found that only Raizo and Kanjuro were agreeing with Kin'emon, while Kawamatsu and Kikunosuke remained silent.

"By the way, where is Ashura Douji? Why can't I see him?" Inuarashi didn't completely believe Kin'emon's words, but as a comrade-in-arms, he didn't say it on the spot, but chose to change the subject.

"You are talking about him. Since Lord Oden went out to sea, he returned to the mountains and became his bandit leader again. It would be easy for that group of people to get into trouble without him to manage them. As the matter was urgent, I did not go to look for him before leaving, but I can go to look for him later." Kawamatsu, who was a fishman but called himself a kappa, cleared up Inuarashi's confusion. As for Cat Viper, he was now cursing the beasts with Kanjuro and others, and did not notice the situation of Ashura Douji at all.

"Okay, let's call him over when the time comes. After all, he hasn't met the lady yet." Inuarashi nodded and said.

"I've wanted to ask this before, where is my brother?" Kikunosuke, who is obviously a man but more beautiful than many women and wearing a women's kimono, asked Inuarashi.

"Izo? He's still on Whitebeard's ship. At that time, Lord Oden went to Roger's pirate group from Whitebeard's ship, but Izo did not follow. Instead, he chose to stay and sail with Whitebeard." Inuarashi said slowly, and his words made Kikunosuke breathe a sigh of relief. He was very worried that something had happened to his brother. After all, he knew nothing about the open sea, and he didn't know what kind of situation he might encounter. Although samurai are proud to die in battle, as brothers who grew up together singing and selling songs, he still thinks that it is best if nothing happens to him.

"We'll reach Oden Castle in a while, and then we won't have to see those damn beasts. They've been getting more and more rampant recently. Kuri, Hakumai, Kimi, Udon, Linghou, and other places except the Flower Capital can be seen. They even call themselves the Patrol Team, what a disgusting bunch of guys." Raizo with a big face didn't have any good feelings towards the beasts. After all, the beasts were nominally an ally of Kurozumi Orochi, and his mortal enemy Fukurokuju was one of Kurozumi Orochi's subordinates. He hated the beasts because of him.

"By the way, I heard about a quarry before? What is that?" Cat Viper couldn't help asking after seeing Kikunosuke helping Kozuki back to the cabin, but he was so stifled that it was difficult for a guy like him to hold back his words. "Quarry! That's the true face of the beasts. They capture people everywhere and throw them into the quarry to help them dig seastone. All the people who go in are powerful samurai or gangsters, and they also built a factory to work for them." Speaking of this, Kin'emon immediately became excited. He was almost caught more than once. If he hadn't run fast, he would have been working in it now, but many of his brothers had gone in.

"That's right, those guys are like that. On the surface, they follow the rules, but in fact, they just want to capture strong people to do hard labor for them. They are definitely evil and treacherous!" Kanjuro, known as "Shimi's Monster", said this in his actor's voice. As a traitor of Kurozumi Orochi, no one has ever doubted him. It has to be said that his acting skills are absolutely superb. He just got the news from Kurozumi Orochi that he must ensure that Oden and others have a dislike for the beasts. Since Oden is not here, let others have a dislike for the beasts.

"Is there no one objecting?" Inuarashi asked curiously.

"We can't resist. The beasts are much stronger than us. Unless Lord Oden comes back, only under his leadership can we drive out the beasts. Oh, and there's also Kurozumi Orochi." Kanjuro is still performing his acting, and it has to be said that the feeling of heartache is so similar.

"Is this what you want to say to Oden?" At some point, Kozuki Toki appeared behind everyone, with Kikunosuke looking apologetic.

"Yes, ma'am, I'm sorry, we, we have no other choice." Kanjuro lowered his head first, and he looked as if he wanted to commit seppuku on the spot to apologize.

"It's okay, it's not your fault. And don't worry, Oden should be back soon, it will take at most a year." Kozuki did not blame them, but said with a smile.

"Really? That's great, but ma'am, you'd better go into the cabin quickly. You haven't recovered from your illness yet. Don't get blown by the wind again, Kikunojo!" Kanjuro's eyes were filled with tears and he wanted to cry out loud. The people around him seemed to be infected by him and were very excited, especially Inuarashi and Cat Viper. Inuarashi no longer doubted the authenticity of what they said.

In this way, several people took a boat through the inland sea and returned to Oden Castle, and their information was placed on Baijuu's desk.

"What about Kozuki Oden's family and retainers? Forget it. There's no need to pay attention to them. By the way, is there anything going on in the quarry recently?" Kaido asked Lily after reading the information and throwing it aside.

"There were a few guys who were disobedient before, and they felt much better after being beaten up and given increased sentences. After all, many of their crimes can be released in a few months, so there's no need to fight with those guys serving life sentences or decades of imprisonment." Lily said as she looked out the window at Yamato, Jack and Maria playing.

"That's fine. I don't know how Ono Linsan is doing in Zou. Let's contact him when the time comes and have them come over to celebrate the New Year."

"Okay, I'll tell you then."
