One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 900: Hiyori's Wit

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

A temporary platform, much smaller than the one that could bear Kaido's weight back then, but there are fewer people this time, so it is not a problem. Perhaps the only problem is that too many people gathered here, which has completely exceeded the normal population density. Too many people are constantly squeezing forward, causing this temporary platform to look precarious. Fortunately, Jack and others are here to help maintain order, which barely ensures that nothing will happen at the scene.

But even so, the situation at the scene was too intense, and Kin'emon and others who were brought out of the dead mine were stunned by the situation around them. They didn't understand why things turned out like this. Hiyori wanted to kill Momonosuke, and the ordinary people around also wanted to kill Momonosuke, but they didn't see anyone who wanted to help Momonosuke. What about those samurai? Why didn't they see any of them?
"What are you doing? That's Kozuki Momonosuke! He's the descendant of the general of Wano Country! What do you want to do! "

Kin'emon was tied up but he could still make sounds. He shouted loudly but no one gave him a positive response. The only things that greeted him were rotten vegetable leaves and tomatoes flying towards him. Oh, there were no eggs, because the people of Wano Country still don't like to waste eggs. After all, this thing was a very precious thing in the past.

"Go to hell! Go to hell with the generals and all that! The best thing for us is not having them around!"

"That's right! It's because of you samurai, daimyo, and shogun that we have lived such a miserable life for so many years! You all should die! Die!"

"Samurai should die!"

"Hurry up and make that Kozuki family member apologize for his damn father!"

Countless people were cursing wildly, making Momonosuke, who was kneeling on the platform at the moment, look terrified. He still didn't understand how things turned out like this. Kin'emon and the others had clearly said that someone would definitely come to rescue them, and that there would definitely be samurai who were dissatisfied with the Beasts operating in secret, and that the people of Wano Country were waiting for his return to lead the people to break the high-pressure rule of the Beasts. But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

"Why? Why is it different from what you said? Obviously you said this before, it's not like this! Obviously you said this before, it's not like this!!!"

Momonosuke burst into tears. In the original timeline, facing Kaido and others, he could still shout that Kozuki Oden was a great samurai. After all, whether this guy was cheering himself up or really thought so, at least the beasts in that timeline did a lot of evil. In comparison, the samurai became less hateful. But now it is different. The samurai has become a synonym for evil. You say he is a great samurai? He is indeed. The greatest samurai is the same as the worst villain in the eyes of the people of Wano.

"Because they have been lying to you from the beginning to the end. They are the most hateful liars in the world, the kind that even deceive themselves. Yes, they deceived you and said that the samurai are righteous, but in fact they are the biggest villains of this country and the cancer of this country. They do not produce anything and only know how to show off their military power all day long, as if the country cannot survive without them. But in fact, the country has become a better place without them. Don't you think so? My dear brother, sir."

Hiyori walked up to Momonosuke with a cat-like step, looked down at him and said.

"That's impossible. Mother and father would never lie to me."

Momonosuke couldn't even speak clearly when he was crying, but he still held his head high and said that this was just pure stubbornness, the last stubbornness of a person who already knew his future and realized that there was no way to escape.

"Really? If they didn't lie to you, why did they die? I just said that I would judge the Kozuki clan, but so many people came. Don't you think it's strange? Even if we can control the civilians, why didn't any samurai speak to you? I'm not afraid to tell you that the two daimyos of the Shimotsuki family are still alive and well, but one has resigned as the speaker and runs a nursery at home, and the other is an instructor in the patrol team. They are not far from you, so why is no one willing to come to save you? Did they really not lie to you?"

Hiyori's words were like the devil's whisper, reaching Momonosuke's ears, making Momonosuke, who was already not very determined, even more at a loss as to what to do.

"No, no, no! You are lying to me! You must be lying to me!" Momonosuke finally collapsed. His pupils kept shaking as if they were about to jump out of their sockets, but his eyes were unfocused and he didn't even know where to look.

"Oh, I'm not lying to you, my dear brother. Look, aren't those the people you've been waiting for? They are right there, watching you being executed. Of course, it's not me who has the final say on whether to execute you, but the people. But the result is the same, isn't it? Listen, they are calling you. Isn't it great?"

Hiyori spoke to Momonosuke with a very broken expression, and the shouting around him also made Momonosuke shudder.

"Hiyori, we, we are brother and sister, we are brother and sister, why, why do we have to kill each other? Why? I can, I can give up my identity as a member of the Kozuki family, I can make them surrender."

Momonosuke said with a look of fear on his face.

"It's too late, it's too late my brother. If you had said this a few days ago, before your identity was revealed, you could have saved your life. But now, it's too late. Public opinion is overwhelming. No one can stop this from happening. And I know that you don't really understand anything. You're just scared because you know that you're simply going to die."

Hiyori stood up, looked at the crowd below, raised her hands, and suddenly everything around her became quiet, which made Jack and others breathe a sigh of relief. If they squeezed forward any further, someone might rush in. These people were really ready to rush up and eat those guys kneeling on the stage alive. If they got an upset stomach, it would be a bit difficult to deal with. After all, they couldn't use medical insurance in this situation, and it was very expensive to pay for medical treatment in full.

"Everyone! I think you all gathered here, obviously you already know what we are going to do. Of course, yes, we are going to conduct a trial, a trial of a celebrity, a member of the Kozuki family, the descendant of a person who had an impact on the entire Wano Country. Yes, he is the son of Kozuki Oden - Kozuki Momonosuke!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Hiyori's words immediately caused cheers from everyone. These people had been waiting for this moment, and finally their wait was not in vain. They had been waiting for this moment.

"But before that, I want to introduce myself to you all. After all, many people here may not know my name yet. So, let me introduce myself. My name is Hiyori, and my last name is also Kozuki. Yes, the man on trial, Kozuki Momonosuke, is actually my brother. Yes, I am also the child of Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Hiyori."

Many people were shocked by Hiyori's sudden words. They didn't understand what was going on. Wasn't it a normal trial? Why did two people from the Kozuki family suddenly appear? And the initiator of the trial and the person being tried were both from the Kozuki family. What was going on?
"Yes, I have disappointed many people. I am also from the Kozuki family and the daughter of Kozuki Oden. However, I can assure you that there will be no more Kozuki in the future. Yes, there will not be one, because I hereby declare that I will completely give up the surname of the Kozuki clan, no longer recognize myself as a member of the Kozuki family, do not enjoy any inheritance rights, and will no longer use the surname. I will only live as Hiyori!"

Hiyori's words on the platform made some people who knew the internal situation deeply helpless. This was a typical trick. Losing Kozuki's identity would only reduce a debuff for you. Anyway, you were a member of the Hundred Beasts, and you didn't need Kozuki's identity at all. The Hundred Beasts didn't need any strong claims either.

But ordinary people don't know this. After hearing what Rihe said, they immediately started cheering. Although more than 20 years have passed, for some older people, they still recognize the inheritance of some surnames, and for Rihe to say this, in their opinion, this is a great sacrifice.

And what comes next is the highlight.
