Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Kaido's wandering eyes regained a bit of clarity, and he looked at Jin, his mouth corners suddenly raised, his eyes cold:

"They killed the general of Wano Country. Should we kill a 'general' and send him back...?"

"That's a good idea, Jin. After all, the generalship of Wano Country is for you."

"..."

Looking at Kaido who was about to act crazy while drunk, Jin couldn't help but sweat inside his helmet.

I always feel like if I refuse now, something bad will happen.

"Ahem, well, Quinn seems quite interested in the position of general."

Jin covered his mouth with his hands and coughed dryly.

"Oh? Quinn wants to be a general."

"Yes."

Jin nodded in response without blushing or getting nervous.

"Hahaha, the Fire Festival is just a few days away, so we can announce this news to Wano Country then."

Gulu gulu~

Kaido laughed wildly, tilted his head back and took another gulp of wine, the overflowing liquid slid down his body and passed through his muscles full of wild power.

"Ah—hiccup!"

Kaido burped and exhaled a breath of foul air, then put down the wine gourd and looked at Jin:

"Just do as you said about that matter. I believe they will like this gift."

"Yes."

Jhin nodded in response, turned around and left with Jack.

Kaido was the only one left in the dim room. His cloudy eyes gradually became cold and his gaze was scorching.

"Roger and Whitebeard died one after another. The sea here has been calm for too long. It's so boring that it makes people want to die."

"Straw Hat Boy, Black Snake Reiner, I hope you can satisfy me..."

Until noon when the sun was high in the sky, on the most prosperous and lively street in the Flower City, in front of the General's Mansion.

The real leader of the Beasts Pirates, Holdem, a man with a lion's tail and a lion's head protruding from his abdomen, led several of his men to set up an execution platform here.

Behind Holdem, there was a crowd of onlookers.

"Whose child is this?"

"I don't know, I guess I did something to offend them."

"These damn pirates actually attacked a child."

"Keep your voice down, you're going to die."

The crowd was talking as they watched the pirates tying a little kid's body to a tall wooden frame.

Don’t always let the protagonist kill Momonosuke. The protagonist is a decent person, how can he lay hands on a child?

Chapter 343 Yue Ji

"Listen up, you fools of Wano Country! I know there are still many remnants of Oden among you!"

Holdem waved his arm and announced loudly to the crowd below:

"See this brat? He is the descendant of Oden, Momonosuke!"

"Look carefully, you pathetic samurai! This is the outcome you've waited for twenty years, trying to rebel against Governor Kaido!"

The voice on the stage continued, and the crowd was already in an uproar.

A very small number of people secretly gritted their teeth, their fists trembling uncontrollably, their eyes filled with a complex mix of anger, despair, and unwillingness.

Most people still look confused. Wasn't the Oden family wiped out more than 20 years ago? Their tombstones were erected at the ruins of Oden Castle.

Even if a child survived by chance, it has been twenty years, how could he still be so small?

Most people don't understand why.

But despite this, Holdem's words still made them feel an indescribable heaviness, like a haze hanging over everyone's hearts.

[Twenty years of moonlit night, the sky sets and shines on nine shadows]

This is a poem that was secretly circulated in Wano Country after Oden's death. According to legend, it is a prophetic poem, foreshadowing that there will be a day when dawn will come in Wano Country.

"Come to think of it, this year marks exactly 20 years."

"Ah, that's true."

"So many things have happened suddenly in the past two days. I don't know what will become of this country."

Sparse whispers were heard from the crowd.

Last night, Kurozumi Orochi was assassinated, and today this news came out again.

It was a hot noon and the sun was shining brightly in the sky, but it made people feel inexplicably cold when it touched their bodies, and a sense of impending storm arose in their hearts.

A man with a blue crew cut walked slowly forward from the crowd with a sullen face.

"It's Kyoshiro. Are you okay? I heard you were seriously injured fighting the enemy last night?"

Holdem smiled when he saw the person coming.

However, the other party said nothing, but walked towards the rack by himself, like a walking corpse.

Denjiro's dilated pupils couldn't stop trembling as he stared at the corpse.

He seemed unable to accept this reality and tried to find flaws in it to prove that this was just a conspiracy.

But he failed.

It was Momonosuke, the savior they had been waiting for for twenty years, without any illusion.

"died."

"Really dead."

Denjiro lowered his head and muttered to himself, as if all his bones had been drained of strength in an instant, and a chill swept through his whole body.

After twenty years, all I got was a cold corpse.

"What are you doing? Hey, Kyoshiro, you hear me."

Holmde's tone was somewhat dissatisfied. He had just said half of the words when Denjiro suddenly looked up and his cold gaze met his.

Holmd's heart trembled, and he felt the other party's murderous intent. In panic, he subconsciously took an attacking posture to defend himself.

However, the other party moved faster.

Stupid!

Denjiro grasped the hilt of the sword and drew it out instantly, a huge slash swept past, bringing up a lot of blood.

After suddenly attacking and killing several pirates, Denjiro cut the ropes on the rack and quickly escaped with Momonosuke's body.

The people were left standing there in shock, obviously not yet recovering from the scene before them.

Located in the western part of Wano Country, in the [Picking Up Leaks Village] north of Kuri.

The people here make a living by scavenging, hence the name.

In a teahouse, several people were sitting around a square wooden table, and a figure was busy in the kitchen.

Boiling water is poured into the teacup, and after a few tender green tea leaves roll around, a fragrant tea aroma wafts through the room, filling the air and making you feel relaxed and happy.

"Hiyori-sama, along with Aju and Shutenmaru, please have some tea."

The teahouse owner, Ahe, came over with a tray and put down a few cups of tea with a smile.

"Thank you."

Hiyori nodded slightly and blew on the teacup.

On the left, a tall and fat man is leaning his hands nonchalantly on the table. He is Shutenmaru, who is known as the strongest samurai in the world and whom even Kaido wants to recruit.

Shutenmaru picked up the hot tea and took a sip, then looked across at the handsome, long-haired man named Kikunojo, who was dressed in a yellow kimono and female attire.

"I didn't expect you to be hiding here. You look exactly the same as you did twenty years ago."

Shutenmaru spoke in a flat tone, looking at the other person's young face with a complicated expression.

The twenty years he had spent were just a short period of time in the other party's eyes, and he couldn't help feeling complicated.

"You're not that old."

Aju smiled softly and continued:

"After being transported to the present, Kin'emon and the others decided to sail to Zou to seek help."

"I will stay alone in Wano Country to collect information about what happened in the past twenty years, so that I can pass this information on to them when they return."

"I didn't expect that I would meet His Highness first."

Aju turned her head slightly to look at Hiyori.

Early this morning, what happened in the Flower Capital quickly spread throughout Wano Country.

Upon learning that Kurozumi Orochi was dead, Kiku couldn't wait to go to the Flower Capital to gather intelligence, but unexpectedly she met Hiyori and Denjiro on the way.

Aju didn't recognize the two people, but they recognized him.

After explaining the reason, the three of them went to the nearby mountains to look for Shutenmaru who had returned to his old banditry, which led to the scene of the three of them sitting here together today.

"Zou?! Are you saying they are all in Zou now, Aju?!"

Hearing this, and thinking about what he heard last night, Hiyori couldn't help but be surprised:

"I heard from a pirate named Law that Zou's people have reached a cooperation with him to defeat Kaido, and they have already sent troops to Wano Country."

"Really!"

Aju couldn't help but get excited.

On the contrary, Shutenmaru frowned:
