The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

As soon as she finished speaking, Momonosuke trembled and stared at Hiyori in disbelief.

He hadn't heard clearly at the appointed time, but upon hearing Hiyori's address again, something suddenly occurred to him...

"Hiyori? You're Hiyori!? I'm your brother! You must be playing a trick on me, right? Don't hurt me!"

Momonosuke looked at Hiyori with hope, but deep in his eyes was anger and hatred.

He swore that if today passed, he would make Moria throw Hiyori into the worst teahouse and train her into the most wanton geisha, then have her kneel before him and be played with to death.

Chapter 264 Cutting Off Everything

"You seem to be thinking something bad, my dear brother!"

Hiyori laughed and swung her sword again, severing Momonosuke's right arm, the severed hand falling to the ground.

"Oh, right, because of what happened back then, I unexpectedly discovered that I had the special ability of Observation Haki. What's even more embarrassing is that this ability is called... the perception of good and evil!"

"So, my dear brother, the ugliness in your heart truly disgusts me!"

laugh! ! !

Enma pierced Momonosuke's body as easily as cutting tofu, embedding herself in his kidney.

Watching helplessly as he was stabbed through by the knife, Momonosuke felt even more terrified.

This feeling of not being able to perceive pain, but being able to see himself being pierced, terrified him immensely.

Knowing that Hiyori wouldn't let him off the hook, Momonosuke steeled himself and directly cursed at Hiyori:

"You damned woman! I am the noble shogun of Wano Country! How dare you, you lowly woman? I am also that person's adopted son! If you dare to touch me today, you won't have a good end tomorrow!"

"Heh, what else can you do besides verbal threats, my dear brother!"

Hiyori raised an eyebrow, listening to Momonosuke's insults without feeling anything at all.

She looked at the other person with a smile and said slowly:

"Speaking of which, I should thank you for your foolishness. Did you really think you were capable of holding the position of Shogun of Wano Country?"

"I am the son of Kozuki Oden, only I, a descendant of the Kozuki family, can..."

Momonosuke's rebuttal abruptly stopped there, and he stared at Hiyori with immense shock and anger.

He realized something terrible: he wasn't the only surviving member of the Kozuki family, and neither was the woman before him.

If he dies, the woman in front of him can take his place.

"No, no, no, you can't replace me. Wano Country will not accept a female general!"

Momonosuke screamed in terror, trying to cover up his fear with his voice.

"Why not? You, as a general, are not very popular. Uncle Moria supports me, as do Kawamatsu and Inuarashi. You have no chance of winning!"

Hiyori's unhurried words completely broke Momonosuke's defenses.

Momonosuke glared at Hiyori resentfully, his words still sharp and cutting:

"I should have killed you then, killed you..."

"Hehehe, you really think you can kill me?"

Hiyori's red lips curled slightly as she twirled gracefully, her bright red kimono billowing with each dance.

Momonosuke's gaze was somewhat unfocused as he looked at Hiyori, and he thought of a woman he was almost forgetting.

Then, he looked at Hiyori with a look of horror in his eyes.

"No, you can't do that! What you're doing is against human ethics!"

"It's laughable to hear you say that, my dear brother!"

Hiyori smiled dreamily, her eyes sparkling with a peculiar light:

"You gave him the person I cherish most in exchange for the so-called position of Shogun of Wano Country. I was raised and pampered by him since childhood, and I grew up according to his wishes and preferences. If I were to repay him by being with the person I value most, who do you think he would prefer?"

"Damn it, you wanton woman!"

Momonosuke cursed through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with deep despair.

With his knowledge and experience, he knew he was doomed when Hiyori said that.

If I were in that person's shoes, I could discard that Momonosuke without even thinking about it.

But now, he's that Momonosuke...

Damn it, why...

"Why? I've already given him the most important person in my life, I've already expressed my feelings..."

Momonosuke gave a bitter laugh and let out a desperate cry.

Seeing Momonosuke's behavior, Hiyori's eyes and face slowly turned cold:

“My dear brother, you’re wrong. You’ve already lost from the very beginning. You can’t give the most important person in your life to someone else. If you can betray even the most important person in your life, why should others think you’re loyal to them?”

“If I were you, I would prove my worth through my abilities, not through the foolish act of giving away my possessions to someone important. This outcome will only disappoint the person you consider most important.”

Seeing Momonosuke's completely indifferent expression, Hiyori gave a self-deprecating laugh.

That's true. If Momonosuke could understand these things, things wouldn't have come to this.

Looking at Momonosuke, who was almost turned into a human pig, Hiyori suddenly smiled sweetly:

“My dear brother, it’s all over! I will lead Wano Country into a new era under his command, while you will only be buried deep in history, forgotten by everyone.”

As she spoke, she lifted Yama and gently swung it across.

Momonosuke's head, filled with despair and disbelief, slowly slid off his body, life fading away.

Hiyori sheathed her sword expressionlessly, took a deep breath, and her pretty face showed relaxation.

In the end, she avenged herself and Tianyue for the hatred they had harbored back then.

Using that mediocre man's knife, she personally took her son's life. This was her revenge, and also her choice!

"It's over..."

As Hiyori slowly closed her eyes, those childhood memories flooded her mind.

She slowly and deliberately erased all memories of Oden and Momonosuke.

When she opened her eyes again, she had regained her usual aloofness.

Hiyori turned around and slowly walked out. Her steps were much lighter than usual, as if she had finally unloaded a long-standing burden.

Squeak!

When the door to the side room was opened again, it attracted the attention of the others.

With just a slight sniff, Luo could smell a strong stench of blood.

He was quite familiar with the smell, and even knew very well that this smell only appeared when blood was exposed after amputation.

"Hehehe, congratulations, General Hiyori!"

Moria looked at Hiyori with a strange admiration in his eyes.

It is rare to see someone who can kill or torture their closest relatives to death.

"I'll have to trouble Uncle Moria with the rest of the arrangements."

Hiyori smiled slightly and bowed to Moria.

"Hehehe, as expected. I will spread the news of Momonosuke's death afterward, and a month later, I will hold a ceremony to mark your succession as the Shogun of Wano Country."

The transition from Momonosuke to Hiyori will not have any impact on Wano Country.

In fact, most people in Wano Country would express their anticipation.

It's all because Momonosuke did such a terrible job...

......

With the events in Wano Country over, Luther's forces returned to their former tranquility.

When Luther sailed to the East China Sea, he received a phone call from Gordon:

"Gordon... has the Song-Song Fruit appeared yet?"

"So what's your decision? What are you willing to sacrifice for the ultimate music you're pursuing?"

"Your attitude is quite firm, but you should know that not just a few people have to die in the ritual, otherwise the performance of that song would not be possible."

"You will bear the sins—what a high-sounding statement. If you think you can bear the lives of tens of thousands of people, then go ahead and do as you please. That was my promise to you back then!"

"..."

Luther slowly hung up the phone, a rare touch of emotion on his face.

Compared to those crazy people who pursue their dreams, his recent killing of thousands of people is nothing to brag about.

The East China Sea is about to be stirred up again...

Chapter 265 A Perfect Plan

East Sea, the Kingdom of Music, Eregia.

As the grand concert came to a close, Gordon bowed slightly to the applauding crowd and headed backstage.

When he got backstage, he saw Stella dressed as a CP0 agent.

"Stella, thank you for your message."

Upon seeing Stella, he bowed deeply to her.

“You are His Highness’s friend, and also my friend. His Highness and I will fulfill any small request you may have.”

Stella leaned against the wall, squinting as she sized up the middle-aged man in front of her.

She had always thought the man in front of her was a king obsessed with music.

But I never imagined that this obsession would go to such an extent.

A musical score has been passed down in Eregia since ancient times. Only the owner of the Song-Song Fruit can play it. It is said to be the world's number one musical score. Hearing or playing this piece is the lifelong pursuit of all musicians.
