One Piece: From the God Valley Era

After leaving, the three members of the Kurotan clan quickly found their young master.

Since the incident in the Flower Capital, they brought the young master, who was under the tutelage of the Shimotsuki Yasuie family, to the Flower Capital.

Upon arriving in the Flower Capital, they found it in complete chaos.

Then Kozuki Oden was defeated, Hyogoro was captured, and all the daimyo were defeated.

That's how we ended up in this situation.

but...

"Huh?" Kurozumi Orochi's expression changed upon hearing the words brought by his clansmen: "Make me his dog?"

"Before, I was the dog of the Shimotsuki Yasuie family, the dog of Kozuki Oden, and now I'm going to become someone else's dog?"

"Then I've wasted my time, and what right does an outsider like him have to become the shogun of Wano Country?"

"I am the man who deserves to be a general!"

At this point, Orochi was still confused about the situation, just like Acnoya, the Dragon Ball Pirates, the Kozuki clan, and the Daimyo.

But in reality, they weren't that kind.

"Lord Orochi, please keep your voice down. If anyone else hears us, we're doomed." The Kurozumi clan member glanced around instinctively, looking miserable.

Having experienced the vicissitudes of life, they knew what to do and when to do it.

Even if it means being a dog.

They would be willing to be dogs if it meant survival.

Although Kurozumi Orochi was in the same boat, he had already begun to rise to power, and his ambition was eager to be unleashed.

Furthermore, Orochi's current state is due to someone instigating him.

"Lord Orochi." At this moment, a somewhat aged figure appeared behind him: "Acnoya is much stronger. He is a strongman no less than Rocks, and in the battle of God Valley, he even killed one of the Five Elders, one of the leaders of the World Government."

"Now that he's here, we have no chance to resist. We can only stay by his side and wait for an opportunity to act."

"So this is our best option: to go and see Lord Orochi."

"The Five Elders? Rocks? Really?"

Upon hearing this, Kurozumi Orochi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Kurozumi Orochi knew some information about overseas locations, and this information was brought to him by Kurozumi Higurashi.

However, the person who spoke just now was not Kurozumi Musashi, but Kurozumi Semamaru, who was also a member of the Kurozumi clan and a user of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit.

Now that Orochi knows this information, it means that Kurozumi Higurashi has been in contact with them, and may even have returned to Wano Country.

"It's true."

Then, another figure appeared beside Kurozumi Orochi.

It was Hei Tan Muchan, who looked like an old woman.

"I was among them that day and witnessed it firsthand, and I used a drug to evade Acnoa's detection," Kurozumi Mujou said in a deep voice.

She had been a member of the Rocks Pirates and worked as an intelligence agent, so she was very familiar with the Rocks Pirates' intelligence and also knew about Acnoya's abilities.

Anyone he had ever seen could not escape his Observation Haki. To this end, she obtained a potion that she could apply to her body to shield herself from some of her aura. Combined with the ability of the Imitation Fruit, she was able to evade Acnoya's large-scale Observation Haki.

After the God Valley incident, she returned to Wano Country, preparing to join forces with Kurozumi Orochi to destroy the Kozuki clan.

But plans can't keep up with changes. Acnoya set his sights on Wano Country and swept away all obstacles with lightning speed.

This caused their plans to fail before they even began.

However, the Kurotan clan are not exactly law-abiding people, so since this plan doesn't work, they'll try a different one.

First, she works under Acnoya, then she disguises herself as someone else to cause trouble. Over time, Acnoya will lose popularity here and eventually be abandoned by everyone.

This was the plan she had prepared to carry out on the Kozuki clan, and now it was the same when she applied it to Acnoya.

The only problem is that Acnoya is stronger than the entire Wano Country.

But it's not a big problem; at worst, I'll become one of Acnoya's people and poison him.

The Imitation Fruit is just that awesome!

"It's actually true!"

Kurozumi Orochi stared in disbelief, displaying his exaggerated facial expressions.

"So our best option right now is to align ourselves with Acnoya, as long as we are careful enough."

"Besides, Lord Orochi, you are still young and have plenty of time. Even if you just have to wait it out, you can outlast Acnoya," Kurozumi Higurashi said.

"That makes sense. I'm still young, I'm sure I can outlive him!" Kurozumi Orochi nodded, thinking the plan was excellent.

He's already endured so many years, he doesn't care about enduring a few more.

Acnoya: Oh? Old man, well, I'm sorry, I'm immortal.

In the Dragon Ball world, he made a wish to Shenron and gained immortality.

As long as no one can kill him, he can live forever.

It's wishful thinking for Kurozumi Orochi to want to compete with him in lifespan.

"Young Master, from now on you must be patient. Go to Acnoa now. Only those who are obedient can win his favor and become his confidants. Then we can act according to the situation," Kurozumi Muchan continued.

"Okay, I understand."

Kurozumi Orochi took a deep breath, stood up, and his expression began to change, eventually becoming a fawning one.

This was his disguise color all along; he always looked like this when he met Kozuki Oden and Shimotsuki Yasuie, which fooled many people.

Furthermore, Oden considered him a good brother and even wanted to introduce him to his father, but this incident happened.

"Let's go, take me to Lord Acnoya now." Kurozumi Orochi strode forward.

"Yes, Orochi-sama."

......

"Lord Acnoya..."

The black charcoal serpent approached Acnoya, hunching over, rubbing its hands together, its face full of fawning.

Acnoya looked at the giant black serpent before him with amusement: "You're the giant black serpent?"

"Yes, Lord Acnoya, I am Kurozumi Orochi."

"A descendant of the Kurozumi clan who previously instigated a rebellion in Wano Country." Kurozumi Orochi revealed his own shortcomings.

Now that Acnoya already knows, there's no need for him to hide it anymore; he can just tell everyone openly.

Hearing this, Acnoya laughed: "You're very honest, Kurozumi Orochi. I like honest people."

"From now on, you'll stay by my side."

Since Orochi is so honest, let's give him a chance.

Upon hearing this, Kurozumi Orochi was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "He became his confidant so easily?"

"It seems Acnoya is nothing special after all."

"Thank you, Lord Acnoya!"

Kurozumi Orochi bowed deeply in gratitude.
