One Piece: From the God Valley Era

"You want to know how I knew?" Acnoya smiled slightly: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."

"Some things you think are secrets, but they can't escape the notice of those who are interested."

"I know all about your dirty dealings with the World Government."

Upon hearing this, Sukiyaki Kozuki was stunned, her face turning pale.

He thought that not many people in Wano Country knew about it, but people from outside Wano Country did, and even his own son Oden didn't know about it.

He dared not speak out because the impact would be too great.

If word gets out, things will get out of control, and Udon Daiming is one of the people who know the truth.

After all, the quarry was located in Udon, and as a prominent figure in Udon, he couldn't possibly be unaware of its reputation.

Meanwhile, Wano Country is a closed country, and no one has left for a long time. Even if someone does, they do so secretly and illegally. Yet he has been trading with people from the outer sea for so many years.

Even his own son, Kozuki Oden, would find it unbearable.

Kozuki Oden always wanted to leave Wano Country to explore the outer seas, but he was always stopped by Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Even Kozuki Oden couldn't stand this level of double standards.

Of course, the fact that Kozuki Oden was an only child was also one of the reasons.

After Kozuki Oden was born, Kozuki Sukiyaki did try, but there was no progress.

It's probably because Demon Oden exhausted all of Sukiyaki's life force!

Acnoya laughed at Kozuki Sukiyaki's ashen appearance: "Looks like you don't want the rest of Wano Country to know about this either."

"Then just say it out loud, and I can preserve your last bit of reputation."

"Otherwise, I'll tell everyone what you've done."

Sukiyaki, you don't want the rest of Wano Country to know about this, do you?

Although he was a pirate, and few people might believe what he said, there were traces to his transport of sea stone out of the country.

Once the clues are connected, the truth will be revealed.

Many people had already suspected this for a long time.

Since the quarry has been open all along, and the stones extracted are not needed by Wano Country, where did these stones go?

It was sold, of course, but nobody knows who it was sold to.

No one investigated before, after all, Kozuki Sukiyaki was a shogun and had a terrifying demon son, but now everything has changed.

If you really investigate, you can find out anything. There are no secrets in this world.

Kozuki Sukiyaki seemed to have resigned himself to his fate. He raised his head, looked at Acnoya, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes: "Release Oden, release my son, please?"

"I can exchange it for ledgers and the technology of seastone."

"Please give Oden a chance to live!"

He performed a standard dogeza (a deep, prostrate kowtow), his forehead slamming heavily onto the floor with a loud thud.

Oden was his only thought, and the only descendant of the Kozuki clan. He could not die, he absolutely could not die.

He didn't want to see the Kozuki family, which had been passed down for eight hundred years, die out in his generation.

As for the technology of using sea stone, that is no longer important.

"No!" Acnoya said bluntly, "Kozuki Oden and you must die. The Kozuki bloodline must be severed."

It's better for the bloodline of a disgusting person to disappear from this world, so he can sleep with a smile on his face.

"I...you..."

Upon hearing this, Kozuki Sukiyaki looked up in surprise, her face full of confusion.

"Why? What did we do to offend you that you won't give us any way out?"

He didn't know Acnoya at all; he only knew that Acnoya was originally an officer of the Rocks Pirates and then the captain of the Dragon Ball Pirates.

As for why they had to keep pressing him, he had no idea.

Kozuki Sukiyaki's information is time-sensitive; he mainly obtains information from World Government agents or newspapers.

However, Wano Country is too closed off, and newspapers from outside rarely circulate in Wano Country.

Therefore, the information he knew was outdated. He didn't know that the Rocks Pirates had disbanded, nor did he know what Acnoya's latest bounty was.

Of course, Acnoa himself didn't know either.

Only low-ranking pirates use bounties to demonstrate their status; nowadays, pirates rely on strength and their actions.

And the things they did weren't the kind of things that involved killing civilians; that would be too boring.

They robbed the royal treasury of member kingdoms, attacked the Grand Line Navy branch, and destroyed the World Government's overseas offices...

These are the things that great pirates do.

He scoffed at the idea that Luffy and his crew's lack of evasion and avoidance in the face of Charlotte Linlin was the behavior of great pirates.

This thing can be smashed to pieces with one slap, yet it's used for gambling?

The pirates of the future are truly too decadent.

"You haven't offended me, I just simply dislike you!"

In his past life, when he watched One Piece, the Wano Country arc really disgusted him.

So when he saw this family this time, he simply decided to send them into reincarnation.

My lord, I can't bear to see anyone suffer; I'm just too kind-hearted.

However, since Toki Amatsuki hadn't yet traveled from the past to the present, and Momonosuke hadn't been born, there was no way to end this evil brat, which is a bit of a shame.

"A born evil pirate!" Sukiyaki said fiercely.

Acnoya shrugged, looking indifferent: "Give me the ledger, and I can leave you a whole body and bury you in the Kozuki family's grave. Otherwise, I'll just leave you in the wild to feed the stray dogs."

"You demon...you demon..."

Upon hearing this, Kozuki Sukiyaki's eyes went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

How could someone be so wicked as to prevent them from being buried in the Kozuki family's graves and even throw them out to be fed to wild dogs?

Killing someone is nothing more than a beheading.

This is absolutely vicious.

"Whether you're a born evil pirate or a demon, all I want is to get what's mine."

"Answer me, Kozuki Sukiyaki, what is your choice?!"

"I..." Kozuki Sukiyaki opened her mouth, looking at Acnoya with a sense of fear in her eyes, her mouth twitching slightly: "I...I'll give it to you, I'll give you everything."

Upon hearing this, Acnoya smiled and said, "Very good, a smart choice is sukiyaki."

"And I'll tell you something else by the way."

"The people of Daimyo Prefecture and the people of Kuri have colluded to rescue Kozuki Oden and then flee overseas."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Kozuki Sukiyaki was dumbfounded.

He was dumbfounded not because these people were going to come to rescue them, but because their plan had been discovered.

Since the plan has already been discovered, it's no longer a plan, but a clandestine conspiracy.

With proper preparation, the Dragon Ball Pirates will surely seize this opportunity to crush them in one fell swoop and pacify the entire Wano Country.

Thinking of this, Sukiyaki's face turned ashen.

It's over, it's over!
