Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 298 Request
On an island in the New World, Kozuki Oden was drinking in a tavern. He had gained a bit of fame during this time, but not many people knew him.

At this time, a group of drunk pirates were chatting nearby.

One pirate suggested, "Admiral Golden Lion has already started recruiting. Let's go and join him. If we join his pirate group, we will surely become a pirate that no one dares to mess with."

"Big Mom from Wan Guo is also recruiting. She's a great beauty. And I heard she doesn't have any requirements for her husband. She's a hot beauty, and I think I should have a chance."

"I'm going to Beehive Island to seek refuge with Master Twin. He was the first to cause trouble in the Holy Land, and I've heard rumors that he will definitely change the world." A man with many scars on his body spoke.

The remaining pirate groups are not very famous.

At this time, the first pirate to speak boasted: "Did you hear? The navy occupied a country in the New World."

"Hasn't the New World been tacitly granted to us pirates? How dare the Navy act like this? Aren't they afraid that those pirate kings will start causing trouble?"

"Of course it's because the great Admiral Golden Lion destroyed Marineford and they started to break this tacit agreement. The Seven Warlords of the Sea, which were just established by the World Government, have all been wiped out by several Pirate Kings. It's really funny. Hahahaha."

"I didn't expect Roger to be so powerful. He didn't do anything big. He actually killed two Shichibukai without making any noise."

The God Valley incident was covered up because it involved the Celestial Dragons. The only thing people remember about Roger is that he tried to find the Final Island.

At this time, a pirate who was somewhat worried about his hometown asked: "Which country was destroyed? I hope it is not our hometown."

The well-informed pirate replied nonchalantly, "It's not a famous country. I think it's called Wano Country. I heard there are only samurai there. It's no big deal. If it's destroyed, it's destroyed."

The closed-off Wano Country is not well-known among pirates. It is just a country that no one has ever heard of.

After hearing these conversations, Oden overturned the table in front of him and rushed to the front of several people anxiously, asking in a anxious tone:

"What are you talking about? What happened in Wano Country?"

His samurai appearance made the pirates understand what was going on at a glance. This person should be from Wano Country.

So the person who knew the news answered the question:

"The news said that Wano Country was destroyed by the navy because it provided weapons to the Admiral."

Oden argued vigorously, "Impossible. We in Wano Country have never had any contact with any pirates. We will never provide weapons to any admiral."

The aura that erupted from him made these pirates very afraid, but no matter what he did here, it was useless.

The destruction of Wano Country has become a fact.

The pirate who told this story found the newspaper containing a lot of information from the miscellaneous items nearby and handed it to Oden.

"The newspaper said that it's been about a month since Wano Country was destroyed. I haven't heard of anyone escaping. So..."

His words were very subtle.

After receiving the newspaper, Oden couldn't wait to read it.

Photos of Wano Country in ruins were published in the newspapers, and among those lying on the ground were even several of Oden's retainers. A sense of guilt emerged in Oden's heart. If he had not set out to sea without permission, would he have been able to protect his hometown?
"Give him a drink, and I'll pay for it."

The pirate, worried about his hometown, asked Oden for a glass of wine. He could understand his feelings. Men on the sea need to help each other.

"If you want revenge, then come with me to join the Admiral's pirate group. He will accept all pirates who surrender to him. And the Admiral has already defeated many navy."

Golden Lion was not picky about who he recruited; he was superstitious about the power of military strength. He could obviously kill countless ordinary soldiers by himself.

Perhaps this is the main reason why he did not obtain the Conqueror's Haki.

The newspaper in Oden's hand was torn by his strength.

"Samurai! Stop wallowing in pain. A man on the sea should be free and unrestrained. Now that your homeland has been destroyed, take revenge on the navy."

It is normal for pirates to hate the navy, as everyone has different reasons for going to sea.

Oden saw Lu Chen's name in the newspaper, and he was indeed a powerful pirate.

So Oden thought that based on his friendship with him, he should be able to persuade him to help him retake Wano Country.

Then Oden arrived at Beehive Island without much effort, because there were countless pirates who wanted to join Lu Chen. So he easily found a ship to Beehive Island.

Afterwards, he finally met the owner of Beehive Island as he wished.

As soon as Kozuki Oden saw Lu Chen, he knelt down in front of him and begged, "Please help me save Wano Country."

Lu Chen looked at Oden who was kneeling on the ground and begging, and said, "The newspaper said that Wano Country has been completely destroyed by the navy. It would be useless for you to go back now."

Oden said with certainty: "It will be useful. There must be someone who survived the attack of the navy. The people I know are not men of such a level. So they must still be alive."

"Please help me recapture Wano Country in consideration of the fact that I gave the national treasure of Wano Country to your friend."

When the position of general was offered to him, he disdained it, but now he wants to become the general of Wano Country. It can only be said that humans are indeed very complicated creatures.

Lu Chen couldn't refuse this request. It was indeed Oden who helped Musashi obtain the second generation of Kitetsu.

"I can take some men with you back to Wano Country to take a look, but I don't think the situation will be very good. The newspaper said that the navy dispatched a force far exceeding the Demon Slayer Order. It would be difficult for anyone to survive under that kind of artillery fire."

With tears in his eyes, Oden thanked Lu Chen: "Thank you, Lord Lu Chen. I am willing to join your pirate group after this. But before that, I must go back to Wano Country to take a look."

Lu Chen called one of his men and said, "Go prepare the ship. Let's go to Wano Country to see why the navy occupied it."

Lu Chen actually speculated that the navy's occupation of Wano Country was definitely for seastone and iron ore. It would be abnormal for such strategic materials to be left outside.

Perhaps it was because Kaido's name intimidated the World Government.

Following Lu Chen's order, the pirates of Beehive Island were mobilized, and a pirate fleet was formed.
