The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Lady Kozuki wasn't surprised by Momonosuke's question; most boys have unrealistic fantasies when they're young.

She didn't intend to undermine Momonosuke's confidence; instead, after a moment's thought, she smiled.

"If it's a ceremony for becoming an apprentice, it's best to include your heartfelt sentiments."

"What exactly will be prepared for the apprenticeship ceremony?" Momonosuke asked, feigning confusion.

"Whether it's money, goods, or sentiments, it's mostly something that's very important to you, to show how much you value this opportunity to become an apprentice," Lady Kozuki explained gently.

"I see... Is it something very important to me...?"

Momonosuke felt this was a direction and began to ponder along this path.

"Did Momonosuke meet someone? If you don't mind, you can take me to see them," Lady Kozuki suggested softly.

Although it was probably Momonosuke's fantasy, she was also afraid that Momonosuke might actually encounter a swindler.

"Oh, no, I just read it in a storybook."

Momonosuke chuckled and brushed the matter off.

He's currently thinking about how to impress that person, and doesn't have time to play house with his mother...

Speaking of which...

Momonosuke instinctively looked at his mother: her flawless face, dignified and gentle demeanor, graceful and full figure, and long, fair legs...

Gum!

He swallowed hard. In Momonosuke's mind, his mother was definitely the most beautiful woman in Wano Country, and she was not much less beautiful than the woman next to that man today.

Moreover, Lady Kozuki was not among his hunting targets.

The other women in Wano Country had long been considered his future possessions...

so...

A bold idea popped into Momonosuke's head, and he suddenly snapped to attention, shaking his head like a rattle-drum.

No, no!

He hasn't even become the shogun of Wano Country yet, how can he give away such a good thing!

At the very least, let him be a general for two days first!

"Momonosuke, what's wrong with you now?"

"It's alright, it's alright, Mother. You can go out now. I need to calm down for a while."

"OK then."

Sensing Momonosuke's seriousness, Lady Kozuki was unwilling to force him. She smiled, stood up, and slowly left the room.

Momonosuke was left alone in the room, struggling and anxiously wondering how to win over that person.

That's the position of Shogun of Wano Country that the World Government promised!

In his eyes, the world government is the most powerful entity that governs all countries.

The shogun of Wano Country is the most powerful person in Wano Country.

If he becomes the shogun of Wano Country, he can do whatever he wants.

Immediately, he fell into reverie again...

Free access to the public bathhouse—no, I mean, let those older women bathe in my own bathroom...

As he pondered this, Momonosuke couldn't help but let out another lewd laugh.

......

While Momonosuke was still lost in thought, Gion had just returned to Luther's side and learned the results of Luther's discussion.

With Hyogoro's life or death, the balance between the two sides was briefly broken.

In order to weaken the strength of Kaido and Orochi, Rudd also needs to make some small pushes.

“Your Highness, let me go!” Gion volunteered. “My Observation Haki is the best, enough to avoid everyone and obtain Kozuki Oden’s two swords, and kill the two retainers of the Kurozumi family silently.”

Kurozumi Musashi and Kurozumi Seimaru were Luther's next plan.

One of these two is the user of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, and the other is the user of the Imitation Fruit. Although their strength is not a threat, they are extremely important to Orochi and Kaido.

Are you going...?

Luther thought for a moment, then nodded:

"Sure, but this time the main focus isn't killing people. There are still many details to be completed, and you don't necessarily have to do it yourself."

“Bad uncle, let me go with Gion-neechan this time!” Robin volunteered from the side.

"You..."

Luther glanced at Robin and began to consider the feasibility of his plan.

In his view, Robin's intelligence was sufficient to carry out the task.

Moreover, if Robin is trained this time, it seems that the selection of Revolutionary Army soldiers that he and Olvia discussed before could also be carried out by Robin.

"Then we'll wait for your good news."

Luther ultimately decided to let Robin and Gion go together.

According to intelligence, Kaido has returned to Onigashima, and currently, the only top-tier fighter in the Flower Capital is Kozuki Oden.

However, given Kozuki Oden's personality, it seems unnecessary to take this into consideration.

"Bad uncle, I need Absalom's help this time!"

"Yes, he and the others will cooperate with you unconditionally."

Luther nodded slightly, as if he knew what Robin was going to do, implying that Moria should also help.

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" Robin chuckled.

"I hope I can see a good show."

Luther smiled slightly, patted Robin's hair with his large hand, and looked at him with a hint of affection in his eyes.

Chapter 85 Flipping the Table

The turmoil in Wano Country seems to have never stopped since the incident involving Hyogoro's family.

a few days later.

Two corpses were said to have been hanging in front of the General's Mansion in the Flower Capital for an entire night before being discovered the next day.

At first, no one knew who the two dead people were.

It wasn't until later, when Kurozumi Orochi wept bitterly in front of the shogun's mansion, that everyone realized these two were the shogun's retainers:

Kurotan Musamura, Kurotan Seimaru.

On the same day, news came from the General's Mansion that they had vowed to find the murderer who had harmed the two men and offered a reward of 10,000 gold coins, which was equivalent to 100 million peggs.

The news caused a sensation throughout Wano Country.

The enthusiasm of the people of Wano Country surged even higher after the Shogun's office announced that the murderer was a samurai skilled in swordsmanship.

Without any information, the reward is most likely to go unclaimed.

But once they learned that the murderer was a samurai, the pool of suspects narrowed down considerably.

Throughout the entire Flower Capital, there are not many people who can kill Kurozumi Orochi's retainers silently.

Thus began a city-wide manhunt.

Inside a hotel in the Flower Capital.

Looking through the open window at the enthusiastic people searching door-to-door, Gion frowned slightly:

"It's a good thing you came up with this method. I still don't understand how you got him to kill the person with his own hands."

That day, her only task was to knock the two people unconscious, disguise herself, and then go to the place Robin had designated as planned.

Then he watched helplessly as one of Oden's retainers, his face filled with hatred and madness, killed the two old men with each blow.

Finally, Absalom threw the two old men's bodies at the entrance of the Black Charcoal Serpent, and that's the whole story.

......

General's Mansion.

boom! boom! boom!

Vases and wine bottles were shattered all over the ground, and the black charcoal serpent continued to smash everything in its path.

His face was incredibly gloomy, which made his already round face look even more repulsive.

"Hey, that's about enough!"

A deep, resonant voice rang out beside him, accompanied by the sound of gulping down wine.

In front of him was a Den Den Mushi resembling Kaido, from which a deep voice emanated.

It wasn't hard to detect a hint of mockery in Kaido's tone.

To have one's retainer killed in one's home and then have the body hung up at the door is utterly humiliating.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

The black charcoal serpent, its eyes bloodshot, panted twice and gritted its teeth, saying:

"Kaido! Was that you!?"

"Wake up, do I need to kill those two old bastards?" Kaido sneered.

"Phew, it wasn't you! The only one who could kill them was Kozuki Oden!"

Orochi clenched his fists, his face contorted with rage:

"Excellent! What a brilliant move! You just eliminated Hyogoro, and the counterattack has already begun!"

"Kaido!"

Orochi stared intently at the Den Den Mushi and said, enunciating each word clearly:
