One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 257 Stomach Pain
When the beastmen were reveling on Onigashima, what were the warriors of Wano doing? Answer: They were also reveling.

The reason for the beast carnival is very simple. They feel that they have been dragging on in Wano Country for too long, and now it is finally going to end.

The samurai of Wano Country had similar ideas. In their view, beasts were nothing but that. After all, what was so great about a group of poor and untouchable guys? The reason they didn't fight before was because their superiors told them to wait. They just didn't fight, not that they were afraid of them. What's more, they still had Kozuki Oden. Although they didn't know why, Kozuki Oden's reputation among the people of Wano Country plummeted after the Kamasutra dance in recent years (although he didn't have much reputation to begin with), his reputation among the samurai class and the aristocratic class did not decrease but increased. They thought that Oden sacrificed himself for the greater good. I don't know from which angle they thought that Kamasutra was a righteous act. Maybe their brain circuits were different.

But they really believed it, so when they learned that they would go to war with the beasts in the New Year, completely drive them away, and they could return to their domineering state, these noble warriors immediately began to revel, and their previous financial difficulties were swept away. Anyway, they could return to their previous state in a month, so who would care about that little food? Come on, come on, let's have fun. They completely forgot why they retreated to the city wall in the first place.

What was Oden doing at this time? He was drinking with Orochi. Over the past few years, Oden really felt that Orochi was of the same mind as him and believed in Orochi's words. Now he didn't need Orochi to fool him. He just needed to say a few words. If there were any loopholes, it didn't matter. Oden, who was good at making up his mind, would fill them in for him.

"Orochi, do you think New Year's Day is really a suitable time for the decisive battle?" Oden asked Orochi hesitantly, holding a glass of wine. It's not that he didn't want to have a decisive battle with the beasts, he had wanted to do so for a long time. The reason for his hesitation was very simple. It was New Year's Day. He felt that New Year's Day should be celebrated at home with family instead of fighting and killing, which is a taboo on New Year's Day. He also wanted to make oden for his family.

"Lord Oden, we have discussed this several times. The New Year Festival is the most suitable opportunity. I will pretend to invite the beastmen to the banquet, and then I will smash the cups as a signal to kill their leader. The other samurai will take the opportunity to attack Onigashima and destroy them in one fell swoop." Orochi was speechless. How many times has this happened? He proposed a decisive battle at the New Year two months ago, but Oden has been hesitating, and the reason for his hesitation is still so speechless. The New Year should be spent with family, and blood should not be seen at the New Year.

When did you become so traditional? Didn't Kozuki Oden despise all etiquette and tradition? Are you really Kozuki Oden? Over the past few years, Orochi's fear of Kozuki Oden has become weaker and weaker, because he used to think that Kozuki Oden was an unreasonable madman, not only powerful in force, but also unrestrained, as if no rules could restrain him, doing things according to his own preferences, and chopping people whenever he wanted. That crazy feeling frightened Orochi.

But now, Orochi found that Oden had changed. He started to abide by the rules. He had a family and things he cared about. The once powerful Kozuki Oden disappeared. Even though his strength was still strong, he had lost his indestructible body and he had weaknesses.

Moreover, Orochi discovered that there was weakness in Oden's inner character that ordinary people could not imagine. He was not good at making decisions on his own. This kind of character made him more suitable to be a second-in-command, or a general who charged into battle, rather than a qualified leader. He was too credulous. Fortunately, he had been preventing Oden and Kaido from meeting, otherwise Oden would most likely be persuaded by the beasts. If Oden went to sea again, they would be completely forced to death by the beasts. After all, it was obvious what the beasts had done in recent years, and Orochi was not something they could tolerate.

The reason why Orochi didn't wait two more years to start the decisive battle was very simple. He couldn't bear it anymore. The food was getting less and less, and the beasts were getting closer and closer. It was a problem for him to go out to sea now. Don't forget that their final plan was to find Whitebeard. What if he couldn't go out to sea? He had to start the war quickly while the beasts still reluctantly admitted that they were allies, otherwise the next plan would be impossible.

Some people may wonder, the beasts have been making quite a lot of noise on the sea in recent years? Didn't Orochi know that the beasts have become allies with Whitebeard?

Very simple. Although the negotiation process between the beasts and the other three emperors, such as Whitebeard, was introduced before, it is because the main perspective is on the beasts, so everyone can understand it so clearly. It is impossible to shout out to the whole world to do something to deceive the World Government, otherwise the World Government will not deal with you? After all, if the World Government really wants to fight to the death, the four emperors really can't withstand the attack of the World Government. After all, the foundation of the eight hundred year old behemoth is not simple at all, and no one knows how many secret weapons they have hidden.

As for the big snake, he didn't know that his subordinates had been infiltrated like a sieve. All the information he knew about the outside world was what the beasts wanted them to know. If the beasts didn't want him to know, then the big snake would never know it even if he risked his life. So now, whether it was the black charcoal big snake or the black charcoal dusk cicada, they were still dreaming of being able to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf. Not only did they not have a clear understanding of the beasts, they also didn't have a clear understanding of themselves. They didn't know that the beasts didn't attack not because they were unsure, but just wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop while standing up for justice.

"Okay, but are you sure my surprise attack will work?" Oden nodded and reluctantly accepted Orochi's statement, but questioned the method of action.

"Lord Oden, don't forget that in addition to Kaido, there is also Rose Lily among the Beasts. You are the only one with the highest level of combat power here. We believe that you will have no problem in a one-on-one fight, but it will be very difficult if it is two-on-one. As long as we succeed in the sneak attack at the beginning, we can quickly make the Beasts lose an important combat power, or at least greatly reduce its combat power, and the others can hold it back. Then, once you hit one of the opponents, you can free up your hands to deal with the other one. We want to ensure victory, don't we?" Orochi advised.

"I know that this will cause some damage to your reputation, Lord Oden. After all, a powerful samurai would not bother to launch a sneak attack. But this is for the people of Wano Country. I implore Lord Oden to consider the overall situation. As for your reputation in the future, I promise that I will do my best to clear your name, even if it means my death." Orochi once again entered the actor mode and began to express his talent.

"No! You can't die, Orochi. I know that people outside have many misunderstandings about you. My reputation is not a problem. After all, I didn't have much of a reputation back then, and I don't mind being a little bit worse. But you, many people misunderstand you, and think that you are a person who is greedy for power and is taking advantage of my absence to get promoted. In fact, I know how much pressure you have been under in this position. It must be difficult to deal with a behemoth like the Hundred Beasts, but you have been able to persist for so long. Thank you for your hard work. After we successfully drive away the Hundred Beasts, I will truly become brothers with you, and I will definitely clear your name then. Moreover, I know that I am not the material to rule a country. After I establish the Country of Wano, I will officially give you the position of Shogun. I believe that the Country of Wano will be better under your leadership than under my leadership." Oden's face was also full of excitement. He held Orochi's hand and said sincerely.

"No, no, no, how can I be so high-minded as Lord Oden? Just the position of acting shogun makes me uneasy, how can I really become the shogun of Wano Country? Absolutely not! Lord Oden, you are too flattering to me. What's more, the fact that I am brothers with Lord Oden is just a polite remark when General Kozuki Sukiyaki was in office. I dare not be so high-minded. What's more, my last name is Kurotan, Lord Oden, and my ancestors have done excessive things. No one will trust me." Orochi was also confused by Oden's words. He never thought that Oden would say this. In the eyes of people like him, power is everything. How could anyone let go? The most important thing is that he knows clearly that Oden can do what he says, and it is not false.

"Your ancestors are your ancestors, and you are you. I believe you will be fine. You will definitely be able to protect the founding country of Wano and wait for Joy Boy's arrival!" Kozuki Oden said confidently.

"Lord Oden!!!" Orochi shouted excitedly.

"Orochi!!!" Oden was also very excited.

The two of them hugged each other tightly. What a touching (disgusting) friendship.
