Arceus' Pirate Journey

Chapter 294: The Focus of the Battlefield

When he looked in the direction of the footsteps, a mace was already hitting him. The buildings in Wano Country were generally not high. Except for the general's palace and the residences of the daimyo, most of the buildings were two or three stories high.

Moreover, the eaves of the old-fashioned architectural style extend outwards, which is a place for Yamato to rely on, and it has already jumped up in a few steps.

Looking at the gun in his hand, Yamato didn't hesitate and hit him with a stick. Seeing the attacking Yamato, he instinctively blocked it with the gun, but no matter whether it was a metal barrel or a wooden butt, it was as fragile as a cookie stick in the face of Yamato's blow.

With a bang, the gun was smashed into two pieces, and the flying fragments cut a bloody wound on his face.

"Were you the one who just fired the gun?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, she swung Ajian and hit the other party's head. She would ask this question to every enemy with a gun, but she would not wait for the other party's answer. She was just consolidating her reasons for taking action.

But this time, she found the right target.

The stick she swung hit the target, just hitting the opponent's shoulder, but with Kaido's blood, years of training, and the recently acquired super rookie power, the newly created Ajian, her stick was far from something an ordinary person could withstand.

All the bones in the shoulder were shattered, and even the sternum was fractured due to the transmission of force. The entire arm was only partially connected with flesh and blood, and the rest was almost hammered to pieces.

The severe pain in his arm and the blood loss did not completely deprive him of his fighting ability, but instead aroused his ferocity.

"That's me! It's a pity that I didn't kill you with that shot. You made me dig the mine for two years. You people are unforgivable. Remember, my name is..."

Although he was still conscious for the time being, the injury to his shoulder was not a pleasant experience for him, so he made a desperate move and drew the samurai sword from his waist with his remaining right hand.

However, Yamato didn't want to hear him introduce himself.

"Thunder gossip!"

Although lightning had not yet wrapped around the mace, the domineering aura of armed color completely enveloped Ajian for the first time. The mace hit his chest, and after a dull thud, his chest collapsed and he flew backwards.

"I don't want to know the name of the person who hurt my family."

Looking at the unnamed man flying backwards, Yamato ran towards the place where other pirates and samurai were fighting. He could not be truly safe unless he got rid of those people.

In order to reach her destination as quickly as possible, she chose to jump directly onto the roof. During this process, she also saw many people fainting in the house.

Those are the civilians living in the Flower City. Although a large number of ordinary people were driven out of the Flower City under the operation of the Great Snake, there are still many ordinary people in the Flower City, but their families are slightly better off.

Faced with this sudden war, they instinctively chose to hide at home, and then fainted due to the influence of Yamato's domineering Haki. Yamato didn't care about them, she knew very well that her ability was not enough to take care of everyone.

Do things within your ability, this is the principle Arceus taught her. Although some saints think this is selfish, for individuals, this is the best outcome.

On the periphery, the battle between samurai and pirates is still going on. Most of these pirates are around 30 or 40 years old. Many of them were still very young when they joined the Hundred Beasts. They have witnessed the rise of the Hundred Beasts.

They took part in the initial battle for turf, the artillery battle with the Wald Pirates, and the fight for supremacy with the remnants of the Golden Lions. They survived and grew in the battles and became the elite among the pirates.

Although their numbers are slightly smaller, they have all experienced big scenes, and the coalition of samurai and gangsters has the advantage in numbers. The samurai and pirates can still fight back and forth, but those who come from gangster backgrounds are mostly cannon fodder.

Although they are fierce, their performance is not very significant.

The leader of these samurai coalition forces is a close confidant of Shimotsuki Yasuie, who is responsible for commanding the coalition forces in this area. As the battle began, he also discovered some problems, as these pirates seemed to be well prepared.

"Stop those people! Block the gap over there, and take some of your men to capture those children. That should be Kaido's daughter!"

While giving orders, he also chopped down a pirate in front of him. Unlike those samurai who were holding conventional swords, his weapon was a naginata, which was more effective on this battlefield.

But when he was about to continue attacking, someone blocked his attack.

"Get out of the way, I don't fight with women!"

Looking at the female pirate in front of him, his mouth was full of contempt, but the next moment he paid the price for his contempt.

Two green leaf blades popped out from her elbow, directly cutting the naginata in his hand into two pieces. Then the leaf blades continued to be powerful, leaving a cross-shaped wound on his armor.

"Follow me! Break through from here!"

"The Giver has arrived! Concentrate your fire!"

Those gift givers were originally scattered throughout the Flower Capital to fill the combat power gaps of ordinary pirates, but when the news here spread, the nearby gift givers were all moving towards here, and for a while Yamato became the second focus outside the palace.

Yamato's identity was gradually revealed. The samurai coalition wanted to capture Kaido's daughter, while these pirates wanted to protect the eldest daughter of their own pirate group.

However, an accident soon occurred at the defense line. Yamato did not dodge and escape like the samurai thought, but rushed towards the battle.

"Thunder... gossip!"

The two warriors were knocked away by her again. Only at this moment did she realize what kind of thing Arceus gave her. Even if she did nothing, her physical strength was gradually recovering, which was more than one level higher than before.

Ordinary warriors couldn't stop her at all, allowing her to break through to the periphery in a center-blooming posture.

"Ms. Yamato!"

"You guys, have you drunk too much? You actually let Miss Yamato rush to this place by herself. Although you are not a cadre, can't you even deal with these miscellaneous soldiers?! If you still have a backbone, follow me!"

The pirates who saw Yamato's figure became more motivated to fight, and the leader, the Giver, even started a crazy attack of exchanging injuries for injuries.

Then the pirates used the Gift Giver as a sharp blade and tore a big hole in the direction of the Samurai coalition. Although they had fewer people, they achieved a counter-encirclement.

"Boom!"

The sky was covered by dark clouds at some point, and then a touch of red on the horizon attracted many people's attention. Kaido had now transformed into a blue dragon, and his huge body was soaring among the clouds.

"Ugh! This is war!"

Kaido's wild laughter almost spread throughout the Flower Capital, and then a breath of hot air spurted out from his mouth.

Chapter 295 Kaido's Artistic Cells

Not long ago, in the palace of the Flower Capital, members of Wano Country and the Beasts Pirates, led by Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido, were separated on both sides of the palace. Now, the nominal acting general of Wano Country is still Kurozumi Orochi.

Below him were five tables, with the Shiramushi Daimyo Shimotsuki Yasuie, the Reigo Daimyo Shimotsuki Gyumaru, the Nozomi Daimyo Fugetsu Miyu, and the Rabbit Bowl Daimyo Ugetsu Tempura sitting at them in that order.

The last table was empty. Although there were dishes on it, there was no one sitting there, not even a waiter. That was where Kuri Daimyo should have been sitting.

But now the Daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country is Kozuki Oden. At this moment, he is in a room in the palace of Flower Capital, disguised as a theatrical actor with some of his retainers.

The civilians of the Flower Capital were not aware of the details, and neither were the ordinary people in the palace. While Kurozumi Orochi and General Shimotsuki Yasuie were exchanging eye contact, the kitchen was busy as hell.

"For a grand celebration that happens once every hundred years, we must present a banquet worthy of the general's name."

There were hundreds of bowls and plates on the long table in front of him, but there was not much in each of them, a traditional Wano country cuisine.

"A soup made with black fungus and chrysanthemum, egg tofu on a flat plate, withered lotus root, and pickled vegetables... Today, this is the pinnacle of my cooking skills."

The chef carefully checked the dishes, which were the result of his hard work.

"Okay, then we just need to test for drugs three times..."

He was waiting for someone to test for poison. The dishes presented to the generals and daimyos had to be handled with care, which was also the rule here. However, the person next to him took those things away directly.

"Hey! Those things haven't been inspected yet! Where are you from? Do you know the rules?"

"This is Lord Orochi's order. You don't have to worry about the rest."

Fu Lu Shou appeared at the side and stopped the chef who was about to test for poison. He said that since the banquet had been held in this venue, there was no need to test for poison. He even had to poison the food specially.

However, the purpose of poisoning is not to deal with Kaido alone. Except for his own share, all the food has been poisoned. He hopes to take this opportunity to make these daimyos and Kaido disappear together. The Wano Country without any other obstacles is what he needs.

As for how Wano Country would deal with foreign enemies, that had nothing to do with him. That was why he specially arranged for other people to come here.

"Orochi, if this is what you call a celebration, then it may not be too boring."

Kaido wanted to see what tricks Orochi could play. A cat will play with its prey even when catching a mouse, and he would often do strange things when he got excited.

But everything now makes him feel boring. Most pirates don't like the traditional eating habits of Wano Country. Eating more than a dozen dishes is just to fill their stomachs. If this is Orochi's plan, then there is no need for him to wait.

If you want to watch the fireworks, you don't have to watch them in this place. Onigashima still has a lot of special fireworks in stock.

"Don't be anxious, Kaido. The show will come little by little. Since you can't wait, come and watch today's grand finale. Wait...

Your Highness, the fool who dances every day, will also present a show for you today."

As Orochi spoke, he motioned to some people around him, and a moving stage was pushed to the center. Figures were swaying under the curtain. As the sound of shamisen playing rang out, the curtain in the venue was slowly pulled open.

Inside were the actors who played Orochi exclusively. They had arranged a new show. Kozuki Oden and some of his retainers also followed them in. The heavy oil-painted masks and costumes allowed them to hide their true identities.

Although people here are generally face-blind, in this case even someone who is not face-blind would not be able to recognize them.

Some people are totally incapable of appreciating drama, such as Arceus, who has absolutely no interest in those things. But Kaido is different, although he looks big and strong, he is very interested in it, and even incorporates some drama into the daily life of the Beasts Pirates.

For example, the Three Disasters are called the Big Boss, and ordinary cadres are called the Real Fighters. Currently, it is planned to call the stronger ones among the Real Fighters the Flying Six.

It can be seen that Kaido himself is interested in local drama, but the types of drama are fixed, there are only a few famous dramas, and arranging new dramas is a very time-consuming task.

Even if you are used to watching the same play too many times, you will find it boring, so Orochi's new play aroused Kaido's interest to a certain extent. Rotom did not monitor such things. Such unimportant things as drama rehearsals were obviously not within their monitoring range.

...

The music continued, and as it entered a higher pitch, the drama on the stage changed. The enemy in the drama had appeared, an evil general wearing dragon armor.

He always showed an invincible attitude, but was betrayed by his confidants in the end. He was a strange character who endured humiliation for many years just to take back his home from the mouth of the evil dragon.

As it was hit in the play, a large number of blood-colored petals and cloaks were thrown out. According to Orochi's plan, Oden should have taken advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack on Kaido, after all, he was mixed in with the actors on the stage.

But when the critical moment came, someone did not follow the script.

He waited for a long time, but Kozuki Oden did not appear.

"Ugh, Snake, your play is kind of interesting, but not quite good. So what is the name of this play?"

"This... this name hasn't been decided yet, I just came up with it, how about you come up with a name?"

He had planned to launch a surprise attack from the beginning, so he didn't have the time to think of a name. He then advised Kaido to taste the food on the table. Kaido only drank and didn't eat, and he drank the wine he brought with him, which made his poisoning plan fail.

The daimyos also didn't eat anything, only Quinn and Yin Lishabai ate the food on the table indifferently.

But before he could say a few perfunctory words, a voice was heard on the stage.

"The name of this scene is Dragon Slaying, Kaido. If you don't leave Wano Country, this will be your future!"

Kozuki Oden appeared, but did not launch a sneak attack as Kurozumi Orochi had expected. Instead, he stood out openly.

Although Kurozumi Orochi said a lot to Kozuki Oden, Oden himself also had eyes and he saw the changes in Wano Country. At this time, Kaido did not do any evil to Wano Country, and even promoted its development.

So he hoped that Kaido could take the initiative to leave Wano Country, which would be the best result. His actions also made Kurozumi Orochi dumbfounded. At this time, he completely could not understand the people of the Kozuki family.

Chapter 296: Innocent as a Fool

Although he asked Kozuki Oden to dance just to delay time, if the situation wasn't getting worse, he would have continued to trick him into dancing.

But the problem is that Kozuki Oden's behavior can be described as "bearing humiliation and bearing heavy burdens", but after several years of hard work, he chose to persuade the other party to leave? In this way, all the efforts at the beginning were wasted.

But the problem is that Kozuki Oden also has his own understanding. If it was Kozuki Oden who had not yet set out to sea, he would indeed choose to fight at all costs, and would not even waste these few years.

But after going to sea, he has changed a lot. He is no longer the ruthless person who cooks oden on other people's ashes. Although his strength has been enhanced, it also makes him more indecisive.

The grass and pastures of Shimei, the smiles on the faces of the residents, the assistance brought by the Pokémon Center, and the previous scene of the Squirtle Fire Department putting out the fire lingered in his mind, so he did not follow the script.

After hearing what Oden said, Kaido suddenly felt that this boring venue had become different. Such a naive guy can't be found everywhere.

"Gulu~Gulu~"

He drank nearly half of the wine gourd on his waist, then he took out a mace from somewhere and smashed it in front of him with a thud.

"Hehe, is that evil dragon me? So that means that the clown who endures humiliation is the big snake? He really knows how to flatter himself.

Kozuki Oden, right? Do you really believe what Kurozumi Orochi says? You even danced like a fool for so many years? Your father died in his hands. "

Although Kozuki Sukiyaki is now imprisoned in a secret room by Orochi, Kaido does not know this, and he does not see any meaning in having the former general alive.

After hearing Kaido's remarks, Kozuki Oden and Kurozumi Orochi's faces changed, but Orochi's changes were more significant.

"M... Lord Oden! That guy is talking nonsense! He must have found something and wants to provoke us. Don't believe him!"

He couldn't deal with one, let alone two. At this moment, he could already feel the murderous intent coming from the daimyos.

Obviously the script he wrote was a bloody battle between the daimyo of Wano country and the Hundred Beasts Pirates. Now it seems that they have to clean up themselves. For this reason, it is impossible for Kaido to trust him anymore, so he can rely on Only Kozuki Oden.

However, Kaido did not intend to give him any more chance to talk nonsense, and swung a Kongo Dysprosium at Orochi, but it was still blocked by Kurozumi Chanmaru's Barrier Fruit.

"Tsk, a troublesome fruit ability."

"That guy is nothing more than a piece of trash. If we want to expel him, any one of us can do it, but Kaido, your force is what we have to be careful about."

Shimotsuki Yasuie had already drawn his sword. They were prepared for a decisive battle, and the temporary change of the script would not affect their continuation.

"Kaido, Wano Country is not the place for you to stay. This country is going to be founded and Qiao Yin Boyin will be welcomed here. He will definitely come here one day in the future, so you must leave here."

"I'm not going anywhere. I came here because this is Wano Country. Kozuki Oden, put away your stupid naivety."

Kaido slowly stood up, and Kurozumi Orochi pressed a few buttons in his hand. The fireworks in the sky seemed to change color, and then the sound of gunfire rang out.
