One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 395: Kikunojo and Izo
While the big guys were chatting happily, the people from several pirate groups were also chatting enthusiastically, and there was also a burst of crying among them. This crying naturally seemed a bit discordant, but no one who knew the inside story blamed him, and this person was Kikunosuke who was lying in Izo's arms at this time.

"Brother, I don't know what to choose."

Kikunosuke raised his head and looked at Izo. That little face that was more feminine than a woman's was so pitiful that anyone who saw it would feel pity for him. And Izo also looked at his brother with heartache.

"Akira, to be honest, my father told me about this before. I am also confused and I don't know what to do. We are Lord Oden's retainers. I should have returned to Wano Country after knowing this. Even if I have to risk my life, I should have avenged Lord Oden. But, but, I can't do it. I can't convince myself. I have been to the territory under the Beasts and seen the scenery there. I still can't forget how bright the smiles on the faces of the two children were when they were called home by their parents for dinner. I can't help but think, if the Wano Country was under the rule of the Beasts back then, would we two be able to be called home by our parents for dinner like those two children, instead of performing for those big shots! Damn performance!"

As Izang spoke, he could not help but roar. Over the years, the fact that they had been living on the streets and making money by dancing and singing for those nobles would always be a thorn in his heart, a thorn that could not be removed. No one knew how much he had suffered at that time. The perversion of that group of nobles was unimaginable. In order to prevent Kikunosuke from starving to death, he even agreed to the unreasonable request of a perverted noble, just because they had not eaten for three days. Even now, when he thought of that incident, Izang still felt nauseous.

Therefore, when he learned that Kozuki Oden had died in battle and Wano Country was liberated by all beasts, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment. He didn't know whether to cry bitterly for the death of the monarch who saved his life and taught him skills, or to laugh heartily for the demise of the nobles of Wano Country.

In the end, he did nothing. He walked back to his room in a daze and stayed there quietly for the whole night. When the sun rose the next day, he walked out of the room with bloodshot eyes. He ate, chatted, and slept as usual. No one noticed anything unusual, as if nothing had happened.

Maybe nothing really happened, because life went on without any changes. Even when no one mentioned it, Izo's spirit was actually better. Perhaps it was because he no longer had to worry about Kozuki Oden's situation, ever again.

"Brother, I have actually come to terms with the death of Lord Oden a long time ago. The dead cannot be resurrected, and the current situation in Wano Country is better than before. However, Denjiro and his men have not given up their plan of revenge. I don't know what to choose. Should I join them in avenging Lord Oden and push the people of Wano Country, who have finally lived a good life, into dire straits? Or should I completely break away from my past life and become an ordinary member of Wano Country?"

Kikunojo sat on the ground with a sigh. Kikunojo, who always behaved like a lady, had been in a state of confusion since she was pardoned at the New Year. After seeing Hiyori twice and making sure that there was no problem with Hiyori's life, she became decadent. This time she came to the Whitebeard Pirates because Lily inadvertently remembered that there seemed to be a man in the Whitebeard Pirates who was Kikunojo's brother, so she sent Luke to find Kikunojo and bring him here.

"I don't know, Kiku. If it were in the past, I might have said that it is our duty to be loyal to the monarch. I would have said the same thing even if it was anyone else who ruled Wano Country. But it was the Beasts. Why had it to be the Beasts? I can't convince myself. The Beasts' way of ruling is almost what I have always dreamed of. It was even a wonderful life that I dared not imagine in the past. We all came from that time. We know what a disgusting group the nobles are. Even Lord Oden, is Lord Oden really that good?"

Izo was also sitting on the ground, leaning against Kikunosuke. It was unclear whether his words were trying to convince himself or Kikunosuke, or perhaps both.

"I don't deny that Lord Oden saved our lives. If it weren't for Lord Oden's oden, we would have died that day. But what did Lord Oden do? We all know that those rumors are not groundless. Anyone who has lived in the Flower Capital for a long time will know that cooking oden with human bones and the harem night that caused a sensation in the city are all things that Lord Oden has done. Did Lord Oden really get punished? I don't think so. He is still the daimyo and the son of the general. Even though Kuri is relatively poor, so what? If it weren't for Orochi's conspiracy at the time, Oden Castle would not be short of money at all. What about us?"

There was unconsciously hatred mixed into Yi Zang's words, and his gums were already oozing blood because he clenched his teeth too hard.

"What about us? Our father became a criminal because of a trumped-up charge, just because our father felt sorry for the poor and took the initiative to reduce the land tax. Then those damn guys wished our father was a criminal, deprived us of our family name, deprived us of all our property, removed us from the ranks of samurai, and forced us to sing on the streets to survive, and in turn we had to sing for those damn guys. Hearing their wanton laughter, the beasts did well, and they died well! They should have been killed! They died too easily! And they ended up dying in battle, they should all have been boiled in a cauldron! Sent to work in the mines for the rest of their lives! Pinned down on the streets, pointed at by thousands of people, and trampled by tens of thousands of people!"

Izo's voice became louder and louder, his face became more and more crazy. Although not as handsome as his brother's, his face was distorted beyond recognition. If they were not in a remote location, Izo's appearance would definitely scare a few people. "Brother, I understand what you said. In fact, when I learned that the samurai families who had framed our family were tried or killed, I had already given up the idea of ​​revenge, but I couldn't abandon Denjiro, Ashura Douji and the others. They didn't listen to me at all. Brother, why don't you go back and convince them that their plan would never succeed. In fact, the beasts already knew their idea. They were just wishful thinking. After all, as retainers of His Highness Oden, I don't want to see them jump into the fire pit." Kikunosuke looked at Izo with a distorted face and whispered.

"Let's not talk about that for now. What about Kin'emon, Raizo and the others? I know that Kawamatsu was sent to Fishman Island. It is said that he was under house arrest on Fishman Island and was not allowed to go out. But why didn't Kin'emon, Raizo, Kanjuro, and the cat and dog say anything? And why didn't I see Momonosuke-sama when I met Hiyori-sama? You didn't mention any of these."

Izo took a few deep breaths and asked after he managed to calm down. He was a little confused just now as to why Kikunojo never mentioned these people once, as if he was intentionally covering up something.

"Well, brother, I'm actually not sure where they went. I just heard from Kawamatsu that Madam Shi asked them to go to the future, but Kawamatsu didn't say much about what that meant. Maybe even he himself didn't know."

Kikunojo said with some embarrassment. He didn't mean to hide it from Izo, but Kikunojo herself didn't understand what was going on. At that time, she was just lamenting that Momonosuke and Hiyori were still alive and didn't listen much. Naturally, it was impossible for her to explain it clearly to Izo. In addition, those who have the ability of devil fruits are still called sorcerers in Wano Country, and Kozuki Toki had never used her ability before, so it was normal for Kikunojo not to know.

"Going to the future? What do you mean? Could it be that he is a Devil Fruit user?"

Izo, who has been overseas for many years, thinks much faster than Kikunosuke. He thought of the ability of the devil fruit first, but he really doesn't know what fruit can send others to the future. After all, Kozuki Toki traveled through time from more than 800 years ago. If she didn't die, it means that the Toki Toki Fruit has never appeared again in these 800 years. It is normal that no one knows about this fruit.

"I don't know about that. Maybe, brother, please give me an answer. Should we go and persuade Denjiro and the others?"

Kikunosuke asked.

"Let me think about it, Aju, let me think about it. But you must not conflict with the Beasts, at least not before the Beasts do anything. If something really happens, remember to come to me. The Beasts will definitely not stop you. Or you can just stay here. You will be safer on Whitebeard's ship." Yi Zang said in a deep voice.

"Please allow me to think about it, brother." Kikunosuke also replied.
