One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

However, as a user of the Mythical Zoan-type Orochi Fruit, Kurozumi Orochi did not die so easily.

"Kaido!"

The corpse of the black charcoal serpent began to twist, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into the form of a six-headed serpent.

Oh, another head is gone, another life has been taken.

The giant snake, with its six heads thrashing about, roared incredulously at Kaido, "What have you done?!"

"A bug-like creature, its life force is as tenacious as a bug's."

Kaido was getting impatient, seemingly feeling that wasting even a second on someone like Kurozumi Orochi was a luxury. "Why don't you just die quietly?"

Orochi was a cowardly man, but when his life was threatened, he forgot his fear and exclaimed in astonishment, "Kaido! Are you going to betray me?"

"betray?"

Kaido sneered, "Are you questioning a pirate?"

Because I lack morality, you cannot deny me on a moral level.

"Forget it, there's no point in talking to you any longer."

Before Orochi could reply, Kaido turned to Ian and said, "Kid, since you are his successor, you should take care of him."

"Teacher Kai, is this really a good idea?"

Ian scratched his head. "No matter what, Wano Country is quite important to us, isn't it? It's ridiculous to make someone like me, who has absolutely no management experience, the shogun."

Let alone this lifetime, even before I transmigrated, the highest official position I ever held was only a health committee member.

Kaido frowned slightly and said matter-of-factly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even an idiot like Kurozumi Orochi can do it, so why can't you?"

Ian was completely stunned.

Wow, that makes so much sense, there's absolutely no way to refute it.

Ian thought about it for a moment and realized it might actually work.

Becoming the shogun of Wano Country means you've switched to a civilian job, right?

That might mean I won't have to travel for work anymore.

Not bad at all.

"Then I can give it a try."

Ian nodded seriously.

Who would have thought that I, at only eight years old, would become a national leader?

Ian's rapid change in attitude surprised even Teacher Kay.

However, he immediately pointed to the black charcoal snake that was baring its fangs and claws.

"Then, let's deal with him now."

"Dad! I want one too!"

Yamato volunteered, raising her little hand high, "That nasty guy, I'm going to teach him a lesson with Ian!"

"Don't you dare cause trouble, you little brat,"

Kaido grabbed the small horn on Yamato's forehead, lifted the little girl up, and placed her on his shoulder. "This is Ian's battle."

I understand, it was the war that marked the transition of power, right?

"Looks like I'll have to show my skills."

Ian took a step forward.

Killing a giant snake is as simple as kicking a stray dog ​​to death on the roadside; it's incredibly easy.

"Kaido! You want to kill me!!"

Kurozumi Orochi finally realized that Kaido was preparing to eliminate him. His six snake heads suddenly twisted and contorted, and then, his rage could no longer be contained. "Fine! You bastard, you've used me and then discarded me, haven't you! I won't let you get away with this!!"

"Fu Lu Shou! Send your men to attack!"

The flames that had blocked Jin's path had been extinguished, but Fukurokuju, who led the Orochi Oniwabanshu, remained silent.

He glanced at Orochi, then turned to look at Kaido.

"Then make your choice!"

Teacher Kai shouted, "Those who wish to follow the great serpent, stand behind him; those who wish to surrender to me, now!"

"Your Majesty!"

The samurai under Kurozumi Orochi, as well as the ninjas led by Fukurokuju, remained silent.

Their silence filled Orochi with dread. He roared angrily, "Fukurokuju! What are you all standing there for?"

Fukurokuju took a deep breath, and the unusually long-headed bald man gave Kurozumi Orochi a long look.

He said, "We are the Oniwabanshu, ninjas who have served the Shogun of Wano Country for generations. We are 100% loyal to the Shogun."

Orochi's eyes lit up instantly, "Fukurokuju!"

I never knew you were so loyal.

Even Ian began to look at this bald man with new respect.

In the original work, this guy was quite loyal to Orochi. When Orochi faked his death, he pretended to surrender to Kaido, but after Orochi was resurrected, he remained loyal to him.

However, the next second, Fu Lu Shou knelt down directly in front of Teacher Kai.

"We are loyal only to the General. Whoever is the General, we will be loyal to him."

Ian's lips twitched slightly.

Quite honest.

So you decided to switch allegiance immediately because you realized the giant serpent was doomed, right?

"Fu Lu Shou! Are you going to betray me too?"

Orochi was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

"Orochi, we once betrayed the Kozuki family to follow you because you are the shogun of Wano Country,"

Fukurokuju was now directly referring to Kurozumi Orochi as "Orochi," saying, "Now, we must also go and follow the new shogun."

"This is the way of life for ninjas."

Seeing that Fukurokuju had knelt down, his ninjas no longer hesitated and knelt down as well.

Seeing that the ninjas had all knelt, the other samurai followed suit and knelt down as well.

Who wants to die with the giant serpent?

"How could this be! How could this be!"

Orochi screamed excitedly, "How dare you betray me! I'll kill you all! I'll kill you all!"

"Hehehe! That's just how the world is!"

Kaido burst into laughter, "Orochi, if you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being a weakling!"

"Ian! What are you still hesitating for?"

Ian twisted his neck, took a step forward, and as his foot landed, brilliant golden light shone from his body. His wide golden wings unfurled, and the golden-armored winged man made his entrance, bringing with him a wave of heat!

"Wow!"

The crowd, already stunned into silence by the sudden turn of events, was even more astonished by Ian's transformation, which was clearly extraordinary.

"No, don't come near me!"

The scorching heat hit them head-on, and the previously enraged snake instantly retreated in terror, yelling, "You bastard, don't come any closer to me!"

"Ok?"

Ian tilted his head.

An old woman and an old man stood in front of the giant snake.

"At this point, even weeping and pleas are of no use."

The old woman named Kurozumi Mugami wept, "Orochi, fight as Kurozumi until the end."

"No! No! How can I die here!"

The giant black serpent trembled as it staggered backward. "How could I possibly die here! You men, stop them! Buy me some time!"

With that, he fled in a disheveled state.

However, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

Fu Lu Shou, sword in hand, said calmly, “Orochi, General Ian hasn’t said you can leave yet.”

"Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity!!"

The black charcoal serpent's eyes were practically spitting fire.

Traitors are more hateful than mere enemies!

Ian almost burst out laughing.

When it comes to being opportunistic, this guy is truly first-rate.

Is this the ninja's prediction?

Ian stepped forward, and flames rose from his body.

"Come on, the charcoal should be burned to ashes."

One against three, what do I, Yi, have to fear?

Golden flames rose up, and a terrifying heatwave instantly spread throughout the area, even making the oil pot on the still-burning campfire nearby seem cold.

"Oh!!"
