The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 328 This is an extremely thorny matter.

Oden Castle!

Several of Kozuki Oden's retainers looked at their lord, Kozuki Oden.

Kin'emon's expression turned serious. "Lord Oden, what does the 'five-year deception' mentioned on this note mean, 'prepare in advance'?"

When questioned, Kozuki Oden remained silent, his actions not being disclosed to his loyal retainers.

Therefore, they did not know the reason why Kozuki Oden danced in the street for five years. They were simply trusting him out of their hearts and were convinced that their lord must have some unspeakable secret.

Denjiro, still wearing his glasses, pondered, "Is it a scam? Is it a conspiracy?"

Raizo, with his large face, crossed his arms in front of him and said in a deep voice, "What is the purpose? To provoke a civil war in Wano?"

Kanjuro, with the enormous calligraphy brush in front of him, asked the question that had been lingering in his mind, "But who sent this?"

The stout Ashura Child looked at the crowd, unsure of how to begin.

The remaining Kikunojo, Kawamatsu, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi exchanged bewildered glances.

Kozuki Oden frowned, unsure of who the other party was.

But this note was clearly telling him that there was a problem with that five-year agreement.

Is it a deliberate attempt to provoke war, or is it all a hoax?

Kin'emon's heart skipped a beat when he saw Kozuki Oden's expression. "Lord Oden, what exactly happened during those five years?"

Faced with Kin'emon's persistent questioning, Kozuki Oden sighed and slowly began to recount the five-year agreement he had made with Kurozumi Orochi.

After hearing this, all the retainers burst into tears, their eyes filled with admiration. This was their lord!

He endured humiliation to protect his people and the country of Wano!

"Lord Oden, I think we should prepare as soon as possible, regardless of whether it is true or false. The appointed time is approaching, and the truth will eventually come out."

Kin'emon clenched his fists and spoke.

The other retainers echoed his sentiments.

Kozuki Oden nodded, his mind in turmoil. If anyone dared to deceive him, he would kill Orochi.

The retainers, having received permission, began their operation, but the results were astonishing and completely unexpectedly unsuccessful.

The severity of the situation exceeded the expectations of the retainers.

On the other side, in the capital of Wano Country—the Flower Capital—the Shogun's Mansion.

Orochi held the intelligence report in his hand with a grim expression. Although Kozuki Oden did not choose to act immediately, he was already on guard.

This is an extremely difficult and important matter.

Only Kaido, who possesses equally monstrous strength, could suppress Kozuki Oden's terrifying power, or rather, the strength of Oden's retainers.

Orochi's gaze darkened. Who had leaked the information? It infuriated him.

"General Orochi, there's no need to panic!"

Kurotan Musamura's aged tone was utterly calm.

"But... that's Kozuki Oden!"

The terrified black charcoal serpent turned pale.

"General Orochi, it's too late. Kozuki Oden has lost all popular support, and we are still cooperating with Lord Kaido. Kozuki Oden and his people have no chance of turning the tide."

Upon hearing Kurozumi Higurashi's words, Kurozumi Orochi calmed down and immediately sent someone to inform Kaido of the information he had obtained.

As for the cold glint in Kurozumi Musashi's eyes, she considered the person who leaked the information to be a thorny problem.

While Wano Country may appear peaceful now, undercurrents have already begun to surge between the Kurozumi family, the Beast Pirates, and the Kozuki family due to Charlotte's actions, and a terrible disaster could erupt at any moment.

The five-year agreement is approaching, and when Kozuki Oden learns the truth, he will surely launch an attack and prepare to drive out the enemy by force.

……

Jiuli!

Inside the treehouse in the mountains!

Kikia reported on the latest intelligence she had gathered.

"Charlotte, it seems that internal strife in Wano is about to erupt completely at any moment."

Charlotte nodded, and judging from the way Oden chose to handle the situation, the other party did not easily believe his information.

Fortunately, the enemy's retainers have already begun to take action in secret, and judging from the movements of the Kurozumi family and the Beast Pirates...

The traitor within the Kozuki family passed on the information immediately.

It has to be said that Kanjuro is something else; he's a natural-born spy. If it weren't for this incident being exposed, I would have almost forgotten about this guy.

His eyes gleamed; the Kurotan family was also his target for this trip.

"Have you got hold of Kanjuro's whereabouts?"

Charlotte spoke calmly.

"I've got it. They're currently in Rakuwan Town in Kuri! It seems they're trying to persuade the samurai there."

Charlotte's lips curled up. "What a dedicated actor! That guy's Paramecia-type Pen-Pen Fruit ability is quite extraordinary."

Moreover, he needed to create tension between the two sides, and Kanjuro's dual identity was perfect for his plan.

"Jin, go and bring that Kanjuro back. Remember not to reveal your identity and keep a low profile."

Jin slowly stood up. "Don't worry, boss."

The next second, Jin vanished without a trace, and the plan targeting Wano Country proceeded steadily.

"Kikia is searching with all her might for information about other Devil Fruits."

Charlotte said calmly, "He's come all this way, and it would be ridiculous to think he can be satisfied with just a Devil Fruit."

There are so many hungry family members in the family!

"Okay, Charlotte."

Kikiya quickly spoke up, and there were also the rescued Motoko and the naginata-wielding monk Maru.

Charlotte hadn't expected that this guy would shamelessly follow her.

Of course, according to his Observation Haki, the other party was not a spy at all, but simply a brainless samurai who worshipped the strong.

Jin was incredibly fast. High above Luowan Town, his gaze quickly locked onto his target, but he did not choose to make a move in the town.

Disappointed, Kanjuro left and went out of Rakuwan Town, heading along the mountain road to the next town to continue contacting other samurai.

Kanjuro's expression suddenly changed, and before he could react, a fist imbued with Armament Haki arrived in front of him in an instant.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Kanjuro's face instantly contorted, and he crashed to the ground.

The terrifying power momentarily stunned Kanjuro, who forced himself to stand up and look at the appearing King, but could not find any information about him in his mind.

"Who are you?"

When Kanjuro asked him a question, King was too lazy to answer and had to hurry up and finish his boss's task.

Kanjuro keenly sensed King's murderous intent. Without hesitation, he swiftly wielded his brush, instantly conjuring a lifelike and ferocious beast from the ground.

The lifelike, ferocious beast transforms directly from the image into a physical entity as the ability is activated.

Jin was slightly surprised; it really was a peculiar Devil Fruit ability, quite rare indeed!

However, this seemingly ferocious beast was of no use to Jhin.

Terrifying flames rapidly rose from the black fist, and the shaved head appeared before the beast in an instant.

With a single punch, the powerful force pierced through the air, leaving a terrifying gaping hole in the beast's body.

Then Jhin's fists rained down like a storm.

Kanjuro's pupils contracted behind him.

The power granted to the beast by the Devil Fruit was directly shattered, and in a moment it was reduced to lifeless, broken patterns on the ground.

The next instant, Jin appeared beside Kanjuro and delivered a lightning-fast punch that struck the latter in the abdomen.

Kanjuro spat out acidic liquid, and King showed no mercy, launching a series of punches until Kanjuro completely lost consciousness and passed out.

"They're really tough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin picked up Kanjuro with one hand, flapped his wings, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
