One Piece: From the God Valley Era

A little while later...

The samurai, carrying the Kozuki Sukiyaki on his back, jumped off the roof of the shogun's mansion and landed safely.

Two ninjas and two samurai landed together, making a total of six people including Kozuki Sukiyaki.

"General, where are we going now?" asked the samurai carrying the Kozuki Sukiyaki.

The Flower Capital is in chaos now, and they don't know where to run.

After all, the Flower Capital had never been this chaotic before, and they were momentarily at a loss.

Most importantly, the woman who broke into the general's mansion was far too strong; they were no match for her at all. Perhaps only Lord Oden could rival her.

But now Lord Oden is also entangled, and they don't know where to run.

Upon hearing this, Kozuki Sukiyaki pondered for a moment: "Go find Hyogoro."

"Huh? Looking for Hyogoro?" The samurai were stunned, their faces showing surprise. "Shogun, he's the head of a yakuza gang! How can you go looking for him?!"

Hyogoro is the head of a yakuza gang who has unified the chaotic underworld of the Flower Capital and is the uncrowned king of the Flower Capital.

Such a guy must have ambitions. What if he has some evil intentions? Going to Hyogoro under these circumstances would be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter.

"No, absolutely not! Lord Sukiyaki must not go to Hyogoro." The samurai and ninja all rejected the suggestion.

They are Sukiyaki's personal guards, and they absolutely cannot allow the General to be in such a dangerous situation.

"Hyōgorō isn't that kind of person. He wouldn't lay a hand on me, and he has a good relationship with Oden. He's someone I can entrust with my affairs," said Kozuki Sukiyaki. "Besides, in this situation, I'm in great danger no matter where I am."

"So if I go to Hyogoro's place, he won't hurt me."

"this..."

Seeing Kozuki Sukiyaki's unwavering resolve, everyone was momentarily speechless.

After all, he was the general, and they were just guards; they couldn't fight city hall.

"General, if anything seems amiss, we will hold off Hyogoro for you. You must leave immediately."

"I know." Kozuki Sukiyaki nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Kozuki Sukiyaki and his group headed towards Hyogoro's residence.

Hyogoro is a prominent figure in the Flower Capital; almost everyone knows where he lives.

only...

Hyogoro was not at home at that time.

He is also a member of the City of Flowers, belonging to the Lawful Faction, and naturally he would step forward to defend himself in the event of an invasion.

so...

"Who are you!?"

Tall and imposing, with a blue vest-shaped tattoo adorned with pink flowers embellishing his chest and back, and sporting fiery blue hair and a blue goatee, Hyogoro appeared before Acnoa.

"Hyōgor?" Acnoya looked at the tall man in front of him and smiled.

People weaken very quickly after losing their faith, and so does their body.

In the original story, Hyogoro was imprisoned in a quarry by Kaido after his wife's death, and later became a short old man, completely different from his current appearance. He no longer resembles the king of the underground capital of the Flower Capital and exudes any domineering aura.

Right? Beliefs are really strange.

"You know me?" Hyogoro frowned, secretly glancing at Kozuki Oden, who was fighting in the distance, and thought to himself.

"They're actually fighting Oden to a standstill; it seems the invaders are no ordinary people."

"And something happened at the General's Mansion too. Who exactly are they?!"

"A remnant of the Kurozumi clan, or pirates from overseas?"

Wano Country is isolated from news, but Hyogoro, as the underground king of the Flower Capital, has his own intelligence network and knows about pirates.

Furthermore, Wano Country has been invaded by pirates before.

However, it has been a long time since the last pirate invasion, so most people don't have much of an impression of pirate crews, or even know what pirates are.

But he knew very well.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of them being pirates is greater than that of the remnants of the Kurozumi clan.

After all, the Black Charcoal Clan couldn't possibly have such a powerful individual, otherwise they would have started causing trouble long ago.

"Yes, I am the captain of the Dragon Ball Pirates, my name is Acnoya." Acnoya introduced himself casually, "I came here to bring happiness to Wano Country."

"Bring happiness?" Hyogoro's expression turned serious. "Wano Country was originally a happy country, but you brought disaster after you came."

"You're really good at blatantly lying!"

"Not enough! Wano Country's happiness is not enough!" Acnoya said. "Besides, something needs to be destroyed before happiness can be achieved; this is just a little growing pain."

"For example, the Kozuki clan, who have been entrenched in Wano Country for hundreds of years."

"Besides these, there are also the so-called daimyo. These are all unnecessary existences that must be eliminated in order to bring happiness to Wano Country."

"Nonsense!" Hyogoro shouted, his heart pounding with fear.

How could someone want to kill the general and the daimyo? Where did this madman come from?

We absolutely cannot let him do that, or Wano Country will be destroyed.

"It seems you have come with ill intentions, then I cannot stand by and watch you wreak havoc in Wano Country."

"You madman, take this!"

Flower One-Sword Style!

Hyogoro rushed over, his whole body radiating a purple aura, and the longsword in his hand gleaming with an obsidian-like luster.

"good!"

Acnoa looked at Hyogoro charging towards him, nodded, and smiled slightly: "Not bad, your strength and Haki are also very strong."

"But that's not enough!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Hyogoro was slightly startled, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

Suddenly, Acnoya's figure disappeared before his eyes, followed by the whispers of a demon in his ear.

"Hyōgor, have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

Heigoro heard the sound and felt the terrifying attack, but he had no time to react.

So fast!

"Lightning-speed kick!"

call out!

Acnoa suddenly appeared beside Hyogoro, surrounded by golden energy, arms crossed, and launched himself forward with long legs.

Suddenly, Hyogoro felt a sharp pain in his head, and a tremendous force struck him. His entire body was sent flying uncontrollably, crashing into a building beside him, continuing its flight without slowing down.

"Feels really good, he can hit hard and take a beating." Acnoya nodded as he watched Hyogoro fly backward.

Hyogoro is quite strong; he could be considered an officer even within the Rocks Pirates, and he's even stronger than most officers.

But he's still considerably weaker than him, Rocks, Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin, and the Golden Lion.

However, this is enough for Wano Country.

"Wow, that was fast! Uncle Hyogoro was kicked away so easily. This guy is even stronger than Kaido!"

"Is this the kind of powerful individual from overseas?"

Kozuki Oden became increasingly excited.

"Heh heh heh heh, you dare to get distracted while fighting me?"

"court death!"
