One Piece: From the God Valley Era

Wano Country, the City of Flowers.

This is the center of Wano Country, and also its most prosperous city.

The Kozuki clan lives in this place; they are the uncrowned kings of this land and the rulers of this country.

The current shogun is named Kozuki Sukiyaki, and he has a son named Kozuki Oden.

Kozuki Sukiyaki has a great reputation in Wano Country, almost a model of a wise ruler, but Kozuki Oden was a demon.

Shortly after birth, it threw its wet nurse out, displaying a monstrous talent.

At the age of 2, it was able to catch two rabbits at the same time, demonstrating amazing leg strength.

At the age of 4, he threw a huge rock and killed a giant bear.

At the age of 6, he began frequenting brothels.

At the age of 8, he got into a fight with a gambler while drinking.

At the age of 9, he was blacklisted by a gang, which enraged him so much that he burned down a gang casino and was arrested for assault.

At the age of 10, he entered the quarry as a prisoner, but due to the talent of the Kozuki family, he was promoted to head stonemason.

At the age of 14, he was wanted again for altering a river course due to drought, which caused a major flood.

At the age of 15, he threatened the abbot of a temple and went into hiding there, abducting women every night to build his harem...

He didn't stop traveling until he was eighteen, after severing ties with his father, Kozuki Sukiyaki. This time, he became like a normal person.

Later, he appeared here and became the daimyo of Kuri. He made great achievements and made a name for himself, which impressed Kozuki Sukiyaki and made him retract his words of severing his relationship with his father.

Today, the former Demon Maru, now the Kuri Daimyo Kozuki Oden, has reappeared in the Flower Capital.

And his first stop was... to enjoy himself in the arcades of the Flower Capital, find some fun, and then have dinner with his father.

That's his entire schedule for today.

"Kozuki Oden!?"

"It's Kozuki Oden!"

"That guy is back."

"Run!"

When Kozuki Oden stepped into the Flower Capital, the people on the street were terrified and fled in panic.

It has to be said that Kozuki Oden's reputation was still too bad, even after he conquered Kuri and became a daimyo.

Furthermore, they did not believe that a demon like Kozuki Oden could govern Kuri well. Kuri was already chaotic, and now that Kozuki Oden had gone there, the place would surely become a living hell.

Although this is their stereotype, it fits their perception of Kozuki Oden.

"What the hell are these guys like?" Kozuki Oden looked at the scattering crowd and curled his lip. "I'm the daimyo of Kuri now, not the Kozuki Oden I used to be. What kind of attitude is this? It's really going too far."

Upon hearing this, Kin'emon said, "It's all because what you did before, Lord Oden, was too outrageous, making it difficult for everyone to change their impression of you in a short time."

"However, I believe that once you truly transform Jiuli into the ideal holy land you envision, they will naturally understand you."

"At that time, they will surely kneel before you and sincerely repent."

In his view, these people were all troublemakers.

Lord Oden is the only son of Lord Sukiyaki and the future shogun of Wano Country. How could they treat their shogun like this?

That's a sure way to get yourself killed!

"I thought so too." Denjiro smiled. "Lord Oden, let's go to Lord Sukiyaki's place."

"No!" Kozuki Oden grinned. "I need to go to the promenade first. I haven't been there in a long time, and I miss it."

"Besides, if I don't go to see them when I return to the Flower Capital, they'll be heartbroken."

"So you can wander around the Flower Capital or go to my father's place. I'll go back by myself tonight."

"Eh, Lord Oden?!" Kin'emon exclaimed anxiously, "How could you go to a place like that? It's not befitting your status."

"How about we call them to Lightmoon City?"

The former Kozuki Oden was a demon, so it's not surprising that he did anything.

But now that he's a high-ranking official in Jiuli, how can he go to a place like that? Besides, there are too many people there, so he needs to be mindful of his image.

However, Kozuki Oden had virtually no image in Wano Country.

His image was no better than that of a bandit in the mountains.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Kozuki Oden said sternly, his face expressionless. "Of course, you should go to the brothel to find women; that's where the excitement begins!"

"You guys just do your own thing, don't worry about me."

After saying that, he strode towards the covered walkway.

Kin'emon and Denjiro were Kozuki Oden's bodyguards, but in reality, Kozuki Oden didn't need any bodyguards at all.

There are few in the entire Wano Country who can rival Kozuki Oden, so he doesn't need any guards at all.

They are completely superfluous.

But Kozuki Oden was already the daimyo of Kuri, so he still needed to have the proper pomp and circumstance.

"Lord Oden..."

"Stop shouting. You know very well what Lord Oden is like. Let's go to Kozuki Castle to see Lord Sukiyaki."

"That's all we can do."

Kin'emon sighed and was just about to head towards Kozuki Castle when he suddenly saw Lord Oden stop. He was overjoyed, thinking that Lord Oden was not going.

Just as I was about to say something, it suddenly got dark.

"Hey, it's getting dark."

He instinctively looked up and saw a colossal object appearing in the sky above the City of Flowers, blocking out the sun and causing this situation.

And this behemoth is...

dragon!

It's a dragon!

The legendary creature, the dragon!

Wano Country is no stranger to dragons.

Long ago there was a story of a samurai slaying a dragon, and that samurai was Ryuma, the master of the black sword Shusui.

Ryoma has been dead for hundreds of years, and his weapon Shusui is still enshrined. However, in the future, Moria will take the black sword Shusui and Ryoma's body with him.

In the end, Zoro obtained the black sword Shusui, and after arriving in Wano Country, he returned it to its rightful owner.

Currently, the bodies of Shusui and Ryuma are still in Wano Country.

"A dragon?" Denjiro screamed in terror as he looked at the enormous creature in the sky.

Records are one thing, but when they actually see the legendary creatures, they are still terrified.

People are always like this when facing the unknown.

And it wasn't just Kin'emon and Denjiro who were like this; everyone else in the Flower Capital was the same.

Kozuki Oden stopped because he noticed the enormous creature flying in from the sky.

"A dragon? Wano Country has dragons?" Kozuki Oden stared at the dragon in the sky, stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically: "Not only is it a dragon, but there are two other people on its back."

"And my feeling is..."

"A strongman, an absolute strongman!"

The visitors were Acnoya, Kaido, and Gloriosa.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Just then, Kaido transformed from his dragon form into human form and landed on the streets of the Flower Capital along with Acnoya and Gloriosa.

"Oh, a descendant of the Kozuki clan..."

"Kozuki Oden!"

Even in the crowd, Acnoya recognized Kozuki Oden at a glance.
