I, a Celestial Dragon!

"I am here!!!"

The black charcoal snake hurriedly moved closer to Gawain, and his huge body now made him knock down many buildings as he moved closer to Gawain.

Hearing the sound of collapse beside him, Gawain smiled for a moment, then raised his right hand.

Seeing Gawain's action, the charcoal-haired snake quickly raised its head and moved the heads in the middle closer to Gawain's hand.

Gawain placed his hand on the head of the black charcoal snake, gently patted its scales a few times, then shook his head in thought.

"Black Charcoal Snake..."

Gawain said thoughtfully.

"Wano Country is indeed an interesting place, but there is too much hatred brewing in this land..."

At this point, just as Kurozumi Orochi's eyes widened, Gawain freed one hand and gently pulled out Qiu Shui.

laugh!

With a dull thud, Qiu Shui pierced through the scales of the black charcoal snake without any suspense, and nailed the eight-headed snake to the ground!

Feeling the pain on his neck, Kurozumi Orochi struggled desperately, but just as he made a struggling movement, Hancock flew up and kicked Kurozumi Orochi more than ten times.

Kurozumi Orochi was not an excellent warrior. Although he possessed a rare animal-type mythical beast devil fruit, but...

Many things no longer have the same original meaning once the word "but" is added.

Just like Kurozumi Orochi, although he possesses one of the most remarkable abilities in the world, in fact, he does not rely on fighting and improving his strength to survive!

Here, we have to talk about the internal environment of Wano Country.

A long, long time ago, well, at least it’s not pushed back to the time before the main text of history appeared.

In short, in ancient times, there was more than one daimyo in Wano Country.

Whether it is the Shimotsuki family, the Kozuki family, or the Kurozumi family where Kurozumi Orochi is.

Families like these were all one of the pillars of Wano Country back then.

But just before the appearance of One Piece, or in other words, around the time when Kozuki Oden was born.

A crucial political struggle has emerged within Wano Country.

At that time, the Kurozumi family was on par with the Shimotsuki family, and was responsible for managing the daimyo of a certain area in Wano Country. Together, they were under the command of the Kozuki family, which was the family of the Shogun of Wano Country.

But in the age of Kurozumi Orochi...

Faced with the increasingly weakened Kurotan Family, the Kozuki Family launched a thorough attack and directly wiped out the Kurotan Family.

During this period, Kurozumi Orochi survived in the world. He lived as a slave of the Kozuki family in a way that was countless times more humble than Liu Chan, and lived to the stage when Kozuki Oden was gradually growing up.

For many things, it is difficult to tell whether they are right or wrong.

Anyway...

It was during the time when Kozuki Oden chose to follow Whitebeard to sea and then joined Roger's team.

Some people say that during that period, the Kurozuki family launched an attack on the status of the Kozuki family because the heir of the Kozuki family was absent.

Others say that this is simply the Kozuki family's response to the growing strength of the Kurotan family, and they are worried that the Kurotan family will impact their status.

Anyway...

Kurozumi Orochi became a slave of the Kozuki family when he was very young.

……

Those days must have been extremely painful for Heitan!

In short, after Oden left, Kurozumi Orochi quickly seized all the rights of Wano Country, and then took advantage of the old age of Kozuki Sukiyaki, the heir of the Kozuki family, to launch his own plan to usurp the country!

At that time, Kurozumi Orochi's subordinates were all extremely outstanding devil fruit ability users.

Although the Heitan Family perished early, the more dilapidated a family is, the easier it is to gather strength to support the family's last hope because of its destruction!

How many outstanding subordinates did Kurozumi Orochi have at that time?

Let’s put it this way, whether it is the imitation fruit or the barrier fruit.

These unique fruits with special strategic significance all belong to Kurozumi Orochi's subordinates.

Those people are all the orphans left after the destruction of the Heitan family!

Here, we have to talk about the power of Wano Country.

In the New World, many countries have become member states of the World Government because they do not have enough power to protect themselves.

The remaining countries are those that have not become members of the World Government.

Most of those countries have become the private preserves of pirates, becoming lawless places that even the navy cannot manage.

But Wano Country is different!

The Wano Country back then was able to resist Whitebeard and Golden Lion to a certain extent, so much so that even with the Three Emperors of Pirates standing around, it was still a terrifying country that could perfectly maintain its state system!

Before Whitebeard arrived in Wano Country, Kozuki Oden even couldn't find an opponent, so he started chasing the wider ocean!

In short, the former Wano Country was so powerful that it was terrifying!

In that era, Kurozumi Orochi rose from the status of a slave, and by using the various abilities of his family's subordinates, he finally usurped the power of the Kozuki family!

In the eyes of the common people in Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi came to the position by an illegitimate means.

At the same time, Kurozumi Orochi was indeed cruel and violent, causing the people of Wano Country to suffer.

But at the end of the day…

Looking at the black charcoal snake crawling humbly in front of him, Gawain sighed slowly.

“There is so much hatred brewing here in Wano Country.

You bastard, you never considered the future of Wano Country in the past, and you just kept exploiting those guys as always.

As a result, ah..."

Having said that, Gawain leisurely patted one of the heads of the black charcoal snake.

“Now, as you can see, Kurozumi Orochi.

I've come here, and... I've basically suppressed Kaido.

You don't think that Kaido will find a way to turn the tables in this situation, do you?

Next, I will kill Kaido and then take control of all power in Wano Country.

But, obviously, even if I defeat Kaido, it will be difficult for the people of Wano Country to accept me!"

Having said that, Gawain smiled slightly, then raised his index and middle fingers and gently shook them at the Black Charcoal Snake.

Seeing Gawain's gesture, the black charcoal snake was slightly stunned, and then glared fiercely!

Once upon a time, before I was even the Daimyo of Wano Country...

Kurozumi Orochi could not forget this action, which represented the master's denial of the servant!!!

At this moment, the black charcoal snake shuddered violently.

However, in just a moment, he quickly struggled back from the body of the Yamata no Orochi and turned into an ordinary person with a big head and a small body.

Such a big snake was obviously much shorter than Gawain, but he felt that this height was just right.

He was seen bowing humbly in front of Gawain, thinking over Gawain's words just now, and speaking to him.

“Guhehehe, sir!

I am exactly the kind of person you said, the one who can make the trash civilians of Wano Country trust you!!!"

After he finished speaking, Kurozumi Orochi slapped his face hard.

“Believe me, Lord Gawain, I have quite a bit of experience… ruling this shitty country!

The civilians in this country are all bastards who need to be whipped and punished before they will slightly change their lifestyle!

Please let me live, guhehe, I have been managing them for the past fifteen years. As long as you allow me to continue managing them, they will definitely be as humble as I have been during these years in power!!!"

"Wait, Captain!!!"

As soon as Kurozumi Orochi finished speaking, Yamato, who was not far away, frowned suddenly.

"Captain, don't listen to the deceptive words that this big-headed bastard says!

Wano Country has suffered a lot during the years that this bastard has been in power!

Although the civilians of Wano Country don't say it on the surface, in fact, the people have been looking forward to the death of Kurozumi Orochi for too long!

Captain, I am Kozuki Oden. I was born in this country and I know it well. I am your most loyal ship..."

"stop!!!"

At this moment, Gawain suddenly raised his hand, signaling Yamato to stop talking.

Faced with Gao Wen's obstruction, Yamato was slightly stunned, and then her chest swelled. She seemed to want to say something, but fell silent after a moment.

Breathing heavily, Yamato tried to look at Gawain and listen to his decision.

Seeing this, Gao Wen was slightly stunned.

This Yamato guy was surprisingly obedient.

Did she really think of herself as his captain?

Or...is this guy's illness regarding Oden really incurable?

While thinking, Gao Wen put his hands in his pockets and smiled slightly.

"Yamato, I know you, rather than saying you are the mysterious Oden you mentioned, it would be better to say you are Kaido's daughter, right?

It's interesting that as Kaido's daughter, she is indifferent to my attack on Kaido.

So, how can I trust you when you don't even care about your own father?"

Having said that, Gawain raised his right hand, stopping the little bit of words that Yamato wanted to say.

After stopping her, Gawain waved his hand and continued with a smile.

“Don’t stress your opinion to me, Yamato.

No matter how much you emphasize it, no matter how you think about it, you cannot escape your own background.

Where's Kaido?

Sorry to make you laugh, he is the one I chose, the most suitable opponent for me after entering the new world.

But you...

The Kozuki Oden you mentioned, haha, are you fucking serious?!? "

After he finished speaking, Gawain looked at Yamato. Facing Gawain's accusation, Yamato was stunned for a moment, then glared at him fiercely.

Facing Gawain's half-smile, Yamato gritted his teeth for a moment, then shouted.

"Kaido, Kaido he...!

I have nothing to do with him, because I am Kozuki Oden, I am the one who followed you, the Captain, all the way to Raftel, and finally successfully broke out of the ruins of the Celestial Dragon!!!

Kaido... Kaido...

he……?

Aaaaah!!!"

As she finished her words, Yamato's mask was a little unstable because she was gritting her teeth so hard.

However, facing Gawain's scrutinizing gaze, Yamato did not say the last words after all.

Yamato even felt a little guilty.

At least in her heart, she still felt a little guilty about impersonating Kozuki Oden!

Because she knew that she was not the real Kozuki Oden after all.

The reason why she has been replacing Kozuki Oden's identity is simply because she admires that man too much, so much so that she cannot look directly at the glory left by that man!

Even, looking at Gao Wen who was showing dissatisfaction in front of him, Yamato felt.

If the real Kozuki Oden appeared here, he would definitely be able to convince Captain Roger in front of him!

The reason why I was easily suppressed by the captain was because I was not Kozuki Oden!!!
