Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 303 Return to Mary Geoise

Ugh, I'm completely devastated.

Looking at Hiyori Kozuki, who was lying on top of him and crying, Tomokazu Uchiha felt a bit of pleasure, but also a bit of a headache.

The other person's behavior was not one of panic when their identity was exposed, but rather as if their hidden true face had been revealed, their most shameful side had been seen by others, and they had given up on themselves completely.

No, it's not that she's given up on herself; it's more like she's desperately deceiving herself, deceiving herself that she's just a lowly courtesan named Komurasaki, and not some princess of Wano Country.

Only in this way can Hiyori Kozuki—no, the courtesan Komurasaki—continue to live. Only Komurasaki could commit such a sin and reveal such a shameful state, and never Hiyori Kozuki.

First came frantic screams and painful cries, which gradually turned into sounds of enduring pain and indulging in pleasure. However, just as Hiyori was about to faint, Hiyori Uchiha gently touched her forehead, bringing her back to consciousness.

"No... I'm not Kozuki Hiyori, I'm Komurasaki, I'm just a lowly courtesan, not some princess of Wano Country..."

Even after regaining consciousness, Hiyori Kozuki was still muttering to herself, her expression dazed. Hiyu Uchiha gently stroked her hair and said softly:

"It seems you can't handle this psychological pressure anymore! Well, that's right, after all, you've also contributed to all the evil things I've done."

"Hmm, tell me, what do you think would happen if I revealed your identity to these unruly people of Wano Country right now?"

As soon as Uchiha Hiyu finished speaking, he once again experienced the same muscle contraction he felt when Kozuki Hiyori's identity was revealed. He let out a muffled groan. However, Kozuki Hiyori's eyes were already lifeless, and she trembled as she stretched out her palm, which contained an aura of dominance, and pressed it against her chest.

Uchiha Touya let out a long sigh, pulled his hand away from Kozuki Hiyori's, and chuckled as he spoke:

"So you can't handle the pressure and you're ready to die? That's not like a member of the Kozuki clan. Don't forget, even if you die, I can revive you right now."

"Please, Lord Feiyu, let me die... It seems I've done so much for you, served you for so long..."

Hiyori Kozuki seemed to have lost her soul, begging for mercy like a walking corpse. However, her begging was not for life, but for death.

"Tsk, it seems you really can't live as Hiyori Kozuki anymore. In that case, I'll just make you, like all my women, completely transform into my likeness, body and soul. How about that?"

Hiyori trembled slightly, but her face showed not fear, but joy:

"Really? Thank you for your mercy. Let me become your woman completely, Lady Tou!"

Hiyori Kozuki no longer has the will to live. In fact, because of Tou Uchiha's existence, she can't even die. In that case, completely losing herself is a good escape option for her, who is currently in agony.

"Then serve me well! When you wake up again, you'll be completely mine!"

"I understand, Lady Hiyori!" Hiyori's charming smile returned, and she began to move.

Even when Hiyori Kozuki fell into a coma again, she still had a happy smile on her face, completely different from the perverse madness or deep sorrow that she usually wore, even when she was unconscious.

When Hiyori regained consciousness, she felt a huge shadow looming over her. She looked up and saw that it was Black Maria sitting by her bedside.

"Welcome to be a full member of our team, Ms. Hiyori Kozuki!"

Black Maria exhaled a smoke ring and said with a grin to Hiyori, who also wore a gentle and happy smile:

"Yes, I have finally become Lord Tou's woman completely!"

……

"The training was very successful! Even without using any methods to distort the mind, Hiyori Kozuki has completely transformed into my likeness."

With a smile on his face, Uchiha Hiyori had not actually done anything to Kozuki Hiyori. He had merely deceived her, and the Wano Country princess, whose mind had long since collapsed, had imprinted her own mind with a steel seal.

He hummed a little tune and patted the rump of his mount:

"Run, Yamato! Let's go to the training grounds! Haven't you always wanted to get the training methods from Runte and Black Maria? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll teach you a couple of moves."

Amidst the barking, the white wolf girl named Yamato excitedly carried Uchiha Tou to the training ground. Compared to Kozuki Hiyori, Yamato had long since become Uchiha Tou's loyal dog, indulging in the joy that Uchiha Tou brought her.

In a sense, Yamato, who has little contact with the outside world, possesses all three types of Haki and great strength, but is too naive and inexperienced, is the truly easy target to get close to.

Direct torture had little effect on Yamato, but when faced with pleasure, this demon child became a loyal dog almost instantly.

Thinking about it carefully, the reason why Yamato became a die-hard fan of Kozuki Oden after reading his nautical notes is simply because she had a very poor spiritual world since childhood. And it is only natural for someone with a poor spiritual world to suddenly enjoy something even more enjoyable than the sound of a conch shell and become completely obsessed.

In the end, Uchiha Touyu left with Kozuki Hiyori and Yamato. After Kozuki Hiyori imprinted her mind on herself, her personality became even more extreme than those of Uchiha Touyu's harem.

Perhaps it's just the nature of the people of Wano Country that they always go from one extreme to another, making them practically polar beings on a per capita basis, with no middle ground or way to reconcile things.

The only surviving member of the Kozuki clan and the princess of Wano Country is truly formidable in her oppression of the people of Wano. Relying on the prestige she gained through the "right of first night," she directed her students to plunder the entire country of Wano.

Devil Fruits, famous swords, beauties hiding through the power of their families, and... the remnants of the Kozuki clan, including Kozuki Hiyori's grandfather, the former shogun of Wano Country, Kozuki Sukiyaki, were all unearthed by Kozuki Hiyori.

To this day, Uchiha Hiyori still remembers the look of obsequiousness on her face as she offered her treasures and beauties, and the cruelty of turning them into real sukiyaki amidst the desperate roars of her grandfather, Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Not to mention people like Ashura Doji and Shimotsuki Yasuie, who were all cold-bloodedly executed by Kozuki Hiyori under the pretext of eliminating future troubles.

Even after that, Hiyori Kozuki created a blood sacrifice plan for Wano Country, classifying all the elderly people over 50 years old in Wano Country as useless and turning them all into sacrifices.

Well, there's one more thing. Now, no one in Wano Country dares to curse Hiyori anymore. In fact, when Hiyori goes out, her entourage is almost the same as that of the Celestial Dragons—everyone in Wano Country has to prostrate themselves on the ground with their heads on the ground. Anyone who dares to raise their head will have their whole family die.

Even Uchiha Tou felt that Hiyori's changes were a bit extreme, let alone Black Maria. The current ruler of Wano Country didn't want Hiyori to stay here any longer. She was a little worried that if she wasn't kept an eye on her one day, Hiyori might kill everyone in Wano Country!

As for Yamato, it has now become Uchiha Touyu's personal mount, so of course it has to stay by his side.

After departing from Wano Country, it took the group several days to return to Mary Geoise, the sacred land on the Red Line.

They arrived at Mary Geoise again, but there were hardly any Celestial Dragons left in this holy land. Because he disliked these idiots, Uchiha Touyu added a little something to their inner demons, and now these Celestial Dragons had all become "enlightened monks" who had no desires.

A more accurate description would be that of a mental patient who has undergone lobotomy, who, while lacking intelligence, desires, and memories, also lacks worries and can live a peaceful life like a plant.

Officials in the World Government could all sense that since those idiotic Celestial Dragons were gone, the entire World Government's operations had become much easier.

Moreover, the money accumulated by the Celestial Dragons over generations has greatly eased the World Government's finances. Whether it's the large-scale naval conscription or the preparation for a world war, the World Government's finances are under tremendous pressure, but the Celestial Dragons' treasury has made up for this.

Although it's called a slush fund, the wealth accumulated by the Celestial Dragons is actually several times higher than the World Government's own income, roughly equivalent to 20 years of the World Government's total income. With such a large sum of money, they have more than enough to rebuild the navy or prepare for a world war.

"Back again, Mary Geoise is still the same as always!"

Standing before the magnificent holy land, Uchiha Touyu smiled. What was a holy land in the eyes of others was a terrifying demon cave in the eyes of this great demon Uchiha Touyu. His divine sense swept across the land and he could feel the painful wails from every inch of it.

"Excellent, truly excellent! This place is practically a feng shui treasure trove for cultivating demonic arts!"

"Once I set up some more formations, using the Netherworld White Bone Banner as the array's core, the souls and blood essence of all those who perished in war throughout the world will be able to be collected!"

If this were any cultivation world, Uchiha Touyu would never dare to do such a thing. Otherwise, as soon as such a world-level formation was set up, cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths around the world would come knocking on his door and tear him to pieces.

However, it doesn't matter in the pirate world. Not to mention that those roughnecks in the pirate world can't understand it at all, even if they knew the formation he set up, they still wouldn't be a match for him if all the people in the pirate world were together.

"Is this the legendary Mary Geoise? It really is a beautiful place!"

Hiyori, Yamato, Rebecca, and the other members of Uchiha Hiyori's harem, whom she had gathered in the New World, were visiting Mary Geoise for the first time. They couldn't see the true nature of the city, but from the outside, it certainly looked like a paradise on earth.

"Yes, we'll be living here from now on."

Uchiha Touyu nodded and said with a smile, "Training in a place like this will probably speed up my demonic cultivation by three points!"

Moreover, as the formation was set up, a large number of souls and blood energy gathered in the city, which could further enhance the resentment within the city, transforming it into a demonic version of a blessed land.

"Living in Mary Geoise?! Won't those Celestial Dragons cause trouble?"

Nami blinked her eyes and asked with some confusion.

"It's alright, there are probably no more than ten Celestial Dragons left in Mary Geoise!"

Uchiha Tobi shook his head. Apart from the Five Elders, there were only a few members of the Knights of God left. He had already controlled these remaining Celestial Dragons, so there would be no accidents.

Besides, the Five Elders and the Knights of God, these elites among the Celestial Dragons, may... no, I should say they are definitely not good people, but they are much smarter than ordinary Celestial Dragons. They know exactly who they shouldn't mess with.

Soon, Uchiha Hiyu, accompanied by a group of beautiful women, entered the Pangu Palace, where the Five Elders were already waiting.

Upon seeing Uchiha Tou enter, the Five Elders didn't say much, but immediately knelt down on one knee:

"Lord Touyu, we are ready. Once you give the order, we can declare war on all non-World Government member states!"

"Let's begin!"

Uchiha Touyu nodded, a smile appearing on his face:

"Notify all operational departments of the Navy and the World Government, as well as all member states of the World Government, to prepare for the World Unification War!"

"In this battle, we will not take prisoners!"

The order, carrying a faint scent of blood, greatly invigorated the Five Elders:

"clear!!"

While the Five Elders were dispatching troops to prepare for the start of the war, Uchiha Touyu was also making arrangements in Mary Geoise. His demonic arts included a built-in array, but Uchiha Touyu had never used it before, and it would take several days to set it up properly.

Fortunately, demonic cultivation techniques do not require any rare or precious materials; they only require sufficient "human materials" to meet the requirements. Otherwise, Uchiha Touyu would have a real headache.

There aren't many other things, but Mary Geoise has everything from human remains to the Celestial Dragons, who have been dehumanized for many years. You can easily find many mass graves by searching around.

If all else fails, you can just find some pirates. Although Impel Down was ravaged by Uchiha Hiyu and hasn't been repaired yet, the World Government has more than one prison. Impel Down is just the largest and most secure one of its many prisons.
