One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 276: War of Wano Country (XIV)

"What did you say?" Kozuki Toki's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present stunned. Why did they come back with so much trouble? Wasn't it to ensure the safety of Kozuki Toki and the two little princes? But Kozuki Toki actually said she would not leave. How could this be possible?
"Calm down, I won't leave, but that doesn't mean Momonosuke and Hiyori won't leave. Have I ever told you that I'm not from this era?" Kozuki Toki continued to shock people by asking another question, and this question once again left several people with question marks in their heads.

Not from this era? What is Toki talking about? Did Lord Oden's death have such a huge impact on Toki that she went insane?
"I know you don't understand, but what I said is the truth. I came from the past. I am a devil fruit user, which is what you call a sorcerer. I have the ability to travel through time, but unfortunately, my ability only allows me to move forward, not backward. I traveled all the way from the past to the present, trying to find a way back to Wano Country, but I never succeeded until I met Kozuki Oden. Although I am from Wano Country, this Wano Country is not my hometown, and the only Oden who gave me a home has left. I don't want to continue wandering, so, that's it, I don't plan to leave."

Tears flowed from Kozuki Toki's eyes. She was a homeless wanderer. Even though she returned to Wano Country, it was far different from the Wano Country of the past. She could not find any trace of her life here in the past. The only one who could support her was Kozuki Oden, so she almost blindly agreed with Kozuki Oden. But now, the only wall supporting her collapsed. The reason why she has not really collapsed yet is the two little guys who regard her as a wall, her own children - Kozuki Momonosuke and Kozuki Hiyori.

She needed to find a way for the two children, a way to survive, and what she was saying now was to find a way for the two children to survive.

"But Lord Momonosuke and Lord Hiyori still need you." Kin'emon said a little excitedly. He couldn't bear to see Kotsuki die here like this. As a samurai and a retainer, he couldn't accept it.

"Listen to me. In a while, I will activate my ability to send you and Momonosuke to the future. The current Wano Country cannot be saved, but it may not be saved in the future. By that time, they should have forgotten about you, and you will be safe then. Only by going out to sea at that time will you be able to find helpers." Kozuki Toki said.

"What about Lord Hiyori?" The careful Kawamatsu suddenly discovered the problem. In Kotsuki Toki's words just now, there was no mention of Kotsuki Hiyori, only Kotsuki Momonosuke.

"This is another thing I want to ask you, Kawamatsu. I hope I can trouble you to take Hiyori away by water, but not too far, just in Wano Country. Hiyori is too young, she is only three years old and will be four soon. At this age, she will not be able to provide any help even in the future. On the contrary, she will become a burden. So I don't plan to let Hiyori go to the future. You just take Hiyori away. I believe that the beasts will not doubt a child of this age." Kozuki Toki looked at Kawamatsu and said.

"Yes, madam, but I, I can't take care of the child." Kawamatsu said with some embarrassment. In fact, there was one thing he didn't say. In the whole Wano Country, he should be the only fishman. His target was too obvious. It was actually very dangerous to let him take the child away. But he thought about it again. It seemed that these people of his were all strange in shape. Except for Kikunosuke and Denjiro, they were all easy to recognize. But these two people were not here. It wouldn't make any difference if anyone else replaced them. He could also move in the water, which was relatively convenient, so he didn't mention this.

"It's okay, take this. I left a platinum ingot in the basement. It should be enough for a few years. Thank you for your hard work." Mitsuki Toki took out a key and handed it to Kawamatsu, and when Kawamatsu just took it, he took it.

Suddenly, they felt a surge of envy, and flames rose from the ground, instantly covering the Daimyo's mansion, while Kanjuro rushed in directly through the door.

"What are you waiting for! Hurry up and leave! The beasts are coming! They are setting fires everywhere!" Kanjuro shouted to the people present.

As if cooperating with him, a loud elephant roar sounded, and the figure of the giant mammoth that Archaon transformed into could be seen clearly even in the house. Against the backdrop of the firelight, it looked like a demon coming from hell.

"Mrs. Toki! Children, the children are here." Raizo rushed out of the fire holding the two children. The fire came too suddenly and he had no time to react. He was originally busy dressing Momonosuke and he didn't care about that anymore. He hurriedly put on a shirt and rushed down holding the two children. Fortunately, as the user of the Roll-Roll Fruit, he used the scroll to absorb the flames all the way down and did not let the two children get hurt.

"Mother, what happened?" Momonosuke asked in panic as he looked at Mitsuki in front of him. At this time, the temperature in the house had begun to rise sharply. The wooden structure of the house was burning very quickly, and now there was fire everywhere.

"Momonosuke, although you are still young, I am sorry that you have to grow up now. Your father is dead, and now you are the only male in the Kozuki family. You have to prepare yourself. You will be the future head of the Kozuki family. Remember, live as a real man." Kotsuki Toki tidied up Momonosuke's clothes. Although he looked funny without pants and only wearing a crotchless pants, there was no smile in Kotsuki Toki's eyes, and he spoke with a serious face.

"Mother, what's going on? Where is father? Where did he go?" Momonosuke didn't understand what death was at all. He was still a child now, not even as old as the one in the original book who traveled through time. There was no time for him to react. He was completely panicked at this moment.

But Kozuki no longer had time to care about Momonosuke's feelings. Looking at the people in front of him, Kozuki stood up and saluted solemnly. "I'm counting on you." Kozuki said.

"How dare we disobey your command." Kin'emon and the others who had heard Kotsuki Toki's plan returned the greeting respectfully, with tears in their eyes. Raizo and Kanjuro who had not heard it were bewildered, but now was not the time to ask questions, so they could only bow down in panic.

"Mother, what's going on? Mother?" Momonosuke was completely panicked. The flames all around him frightened him, and he was also scared by Kotsuki Toki's condition. He could only grab the corner of Kotsuki Toki's clothes and shake it, eager to know the answer, but no one answered him.

Kotsuki Toki picked up Momonosuke and solemnly handed him to Kin'emon, who took him with a serious face. But Momonosuke just kept crying and calling him mother, he didn't understand anything.

Mitsuki Toki was also very heartbroken now. No real mother would want her child to take risks, but she couldn't think of a better way. She could only bear the pain and not look at the few people and reach out her hand to them.

"Shishi, go forward!" Along with Mitsuki Toki's words, a strange light wave flew towards the few people. Suddenly, they turned into a ray of light and disappeared in the room. After doing all this, Mitsuki Toki seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant. His feet went soft and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Kawamatsu supported him in time and he did not fall directly to the ground.

"Mrs. Shi, are you really not leaving with me?" He Song asked, looking at Guangyue, whose face was pale.

"No, Kawamatsu, you should take Hiyori and leave quickly. We won't be able to hold on here any longer." Mitsuki Toki barely sat up straight and said to Kawamatsu.

"Well, Madam Shi, see you in the next life. I'm taking my leave." He Song also knew that now was not the time to dawdle. He picked up Kozuki Hiyori, who was in a daze and couldn't even tell the situation in front of him. After bowing again, He Song held back his tears, turned around and jumped out of the sea of ​​fire. When he looked back at the Daimyo Mansion for the last time, he saw the wooden beams that finally couldn't hold up collapsed, and the entire Daimyo Mansion turned into a burning ruin.

"Everyone has left. There's nothing to do. Oden, I'm here." Kozuki sat in the middle of the room, looking at the flames all around her, but she didn't feel any warmth in her eyes at all, because no matter how hot the flames were, they couldn't warm her cold heart at this moment.

In a trance, Guangyue Toki saw a person in the firelight. The iconic dish-like hair was so familiar, and the heartless smile on his face was so warm. She seemed to have returned to that day when she was rescued from the water and saw the man in front of her.

"Are you from Wano Country too? Want to go back to Wano Country? No problem! I'll take you back when I have time!" Kozuki Oden said with a thumbs up and a silly smile on his face.

"Oden, I'm here." Kozuki closed his eyes, and the next moment the beam of the house fell down with flames.

Kozuki Toki——died! Kozuki Momonosuke and five of his Nine Red Scabbards——disappeared! Kozuki Hiyori and Kawamatsu——fled!
