Arceus' Pirate Journey

As he said this, Quinn gave up Kaido's position and waited for the three people's reply. Being loyal to Wano Country is a very important thing. Although it is just verbal words now, they have never said this to anyone other than Kozuki Oden.

Now, with Kozuki Hiyori as a hostage, they began their first surrender. The first to kneel down was Kawamatsu. He thought that he had failed to protect Kozuki Hiyori and let her fall into the hands of the beasts.

At this time he had completely given up his dignity, and then it was Denjiro and Kikunosuke, who also made the same actions one after another, and a loud shutter sound was heard on the side.

Behind the screen next to them, two pirates were carrying a huge camera, and there was a lot of smoke appearing here. It took Quinn a lot of effort to find such an old-fashioned camera. He finally found this old thing from the outer island.

"Very good, this historic moment has been recorded. Your expressions are really funny now."

The reason he made such a big noise was to observe this expression. At least now his goal has been achieved.

"asshole....."

Looking at Quinn's smug look, the three people below gritted their teeth, but they had no choice but to endure it because of Kozuki Hiyori's question.

"Those are indeed the ashes of Kozuki Oden. That guy was a good opponent. You will be the ones to keep vigil for him before he is buried."

After saying this, Kaido left. Since he had achieved his purpose of coming here, he naturally left. Quinn followed suit and also planned to leave. But before leaving, he looked at the crying Kikunosuke and felt that this "girl" seemed very unusual.

So he pinched Kikunosuke's face a few times and said some fancy words to him before leaving. He was a frequent visitor to the entertainment district during the years in Wano Country and spent a lot of money there.

.....

"Wait, Brother Kaido, please slow down. We still have things to do... According to your next itinerary, you have to personally clean up the remaining defeated troops in Wano Country. After all, the Protector of the Country must do something."

"I know, it's best to have interesting opponents among these people, but Quinn, are you really good at that?"

"Ah? Brother Kaido, what are you talking about?"

"What he means is, that guy is a man, stupid Quinn."

The Ammon crawled out from Quinn's back little by little. As a key eavesdropper, the Ammon would not leave people for too long, and its autonomy was much higher than that of ordinary Den Den Mushi.

"man?"

"That's the human you were flirting with. The pheromones he exudes are definitely those of a man. Only an idiot like you would make a mistake."

There are many people in the Beasts Pirates who make it difficult for Quinn to deal with, but the one that makes him most helpless is actually Ammonite, because of the importance of its ability to eavesdrop on intelligence, it is also a big shot in the Den Den Mushi.

And because of the hellish schedules and time differences of the World Government's agents, they often communicated at night in Wano Country. Quinn was often not in good shape, and was influenced by Shayna and Jin. Over time, Ammonite gave Quinn a special name.

Compared to calling him an idiot and a waste, Ammon's description of him was even polite. In the past, he would argue with Ammon, but not this time. The fact that Kikunosuke was a man seemed to have had a great impact on him.

It doesn't matter if a man dresses up as a woman, but I just flirted with a man dressed up as a woman...

Looking at his robotic arm, he felt that it was time to upgrade it. He should also learn from Yamato and make a brother like him.

At the same time, Kozuki Hiyori also woke up. She had been choked unconscious by the thick smoke from the burning Oden Castle, and had also followed Kawamatsu on a water route, so she had been in a coma and had just woken up at this moment.

There were some noisy voices in her ears, as if someone was shouting, "Master Rihe, wake up!" But when she opened her eyes, what she saw was a man wearing a pure black mask, which almost frightened her to death again...

Chapter 314 Your father is dead, your mother doesn't want you anymore, your brother ran away

This is a room near the Flower Capital Palace. The previous war has destroyed the palace. Although it has not been burned to ashes, it is now in a dangerous state.

The people who took care of Hiyori were not from the Beasts Pirates, but the waiters who had been in the Flower Capital Palace from the beginning.

These people have served the daimyo of Wano Country from generation to generation. At first, they obeyed the orders of Kozuki Sukiyaki. After Kurozumi Orochi took the position of acting shogun, Orochi's orders could also command them.

These people had no idea what happened last night. To be precise, they were able to survive thanks to Zeraora, who did not participate in the melee and only acted as a firefighter.

Including getting this group of people out of the burning palace, and they also believed the reasons given by the beasts, because what they said about the past of the Black Charcoal Snake was true.

For example, he killed Sukiyaki, and Kurozumi Kuroshin was a sorcerer who could transform into the appearance of other people. In addition, in the eyes of the head chef, Kurozumi Orochi forcibly cancelled the poison testing process, which made him more suspicious.

It can be said that thanks to Kurozumi Orochi's efforts, he successfully removed most of the suspicions. After Hiyori Kozuki was brought back, many people also believed this matter.

However, Baishou did not trust these people too much. They wanted to leave a reliable person to watch over here to make sure no accidents happened. They were just here to carry out this mission.

They were not idle after the war last night. There were large-scale vacancies in the top management of Wano Country. Of course, Baijuu would take this opportunity to make almost all of these top managers his own people.

However, they have no intention of re-establishing the daimyo. It is enough to have one puppet in the current Wano Country, and the rest will be directly ruled by the beasts.

"Mom...where are you?"

The drowsy Kotsuki Hiyori instinctively looked for Kotsuki Toki, but she did not get a response from Kotsuki Toki as in the past. Instead, she received a cold look from him.

The strange look startled her, and then a scream came out of her mouth. Some people around her wanted to get closer, but were stopped by waving their hands.

"Go prepare what General Hiyori needs. Wano Country needs stability. I will tell her what happened yesterday."

"But..."

"This is related to the secret of Oden Castle yesterday. Do you want to know?"

His height and clothing are intimidating in themselves, and the black leather suit he wears from head to toe like a torturer can inherently make people feel fearful.

Moreover, his words were intimidating in themselves. Those who served in the general's palace naturally knew when to remain silent and when to pretend to know nothing.

Those who were loyal to Kozuki were cleared out when Orochi ascended the throne. The remaining ones were unwilling to fight for Kozuki, so naturally they left.

Then a cold voice reached Kozuki Hiyori's ears.

"She doesn't want you anymore. Between you and your brother, she chose your brother instead of you."

"You...what are you talking about? Mommy wouldn't do that."

"You'll know when you see it."

As he spoke, he placed a projected snail in front of Kozuki Hiyori. As he patted the snail shell, a projection appeared on the screen in front of him.

Thanks to the Rotom monitors, some things that happened in Oden Castle were known to the Beasts, including the approximate time that Hiyori Kozuki was unconscious.

Rotom's surveillance is not just visuals without sound. It can be clearly heard that Kozuki did not have time to wait for his children to wake up to explain to them, but instead left it to his retainers.

There might still be a chance with Momonosuke, but before Kozuki Hiyori woke up, she was intercepted by Inlisabeth, so she knew nothing at all.

At this moment, the picture shows the burning of Oden Castle. Kotsuki Toki had no choice but to send one person to a safer future. Between her children, she finally chose her son. Just after she sent Kotsuki Momonosuke away, a burning beam fell down and blocked her view.

Although Zoroark's illusion is false, it is so real that even the photographic equipment can be deceived.

This is the clip that Olga made yesterday. As for why she only made a short clip, an open ending would create more suspense.

When she didn't understand Mitsuki, she would easily be exposed if she did too much.

As we all know, there is no PS technology in Wano Country, so the video must be real.

At least for now, Hiyori Kozuki still doesn't understand what is going on. She hasn't even thought about why her home is being monitored by the other party. She has been shocked by the content of the surveillance.

"Kozuki Oden died in an accident last night because of Kurozumi Orochi's murder. Kozuki Toki is missing, and your brother was sent away by your mother. Now you need to take over the position of the general of Wano Country..."

There was no time given to Kozuki Hiwa to think, and a large amount of content was directly poured into her brain.

Nine out of ten of those words were true, and some were false propaganda. To put it simply, your father is dead, your mother doesn't want you anymore, your brother ran away, and next you have to become a general and revitalize the country of Wano.

The responsibility of supervising Hiyori Kozuki has now been given to Jin, but he has little patience for strangers like Hiyori Kozuki.

"No...you are lying. Father won't die. He said he won't die!"

After saying a long string of words, Kozuki Hiyori finally digested the first sentence.

"Unfortunately, he has passed away. His funeral will be held in three days. Now, as the last orphan of the Kozuki family, you have to take on the position of general."

Then a group of older people walked in. These people were the original ministers of Wano Country. They had been in office during the time of Kozuki Sukiyaki and Kurozumi Orochi. It was obvious that these people were not very tough.

The people and retainers may be blindly loyal, but for these ministers, it doesn’t matter who the general is, it is enough for them to still be ministers. Here we still have to thank Kurozumi Orochi, who has cleared a lot of tough bones for the beasts over the years.

There are not many people in the Beasts Pirates who can handle internal affairs. Managing a pirate group is not as easy as governing a country. It would be troublesome for the Beasts to get rid of all these people.

Therefore, the status of those who were willing to surrender was temporarily retained, and the intention was to slowly train new people to replace them.

If they are obedient, all the beasts won't mind using them, but if they have other intentions, that's a different story.

In the following time, these old ministers began to give Kozuki Hiwa various long speeches on the importance of the general.

But when she believed these, she was poured with a new bucket of cold water.

Chapter 315: Wano Country's Obituary

The year 1502 was destined to be an unforgettable year for the people of Wano Country, because so many things happened in this year. Because it happened a while earlier than in the original timeline, this chaos happened just in the New Year.

The people of Huazhidu and Jiuli were directly affected, and many were injured, but there were even more people who had no idea what had happened.

The next day, an obituary spread throughout Wano Country, which contained a list of the people who had died in Wano Country the previous night.

"How...how could this happen! What on earth happened yesterday!?"

The great melee in the Flower Capital could not take care of everyone, especially in the melee centered on Yamato, neither the samurai nor the pirates took the surrounding environment into consideration.

Capturing and rescuing people were their only thoughts. They didn't know how many buildings were destroyed. Although Lord Kojiro performed rescue operations afterwards, there were still considerable casualties.

There are many people who are related to each other in various villages in Wano Country, and there are many relatives of these people on that list.

Of course, there is a more critical issue. The names of daimyo such as Kozuki Oden and Shimotsuki Ushimaru also appear on it.

"Lord Oden..."

"Master Kang, Master Niu Wan! What on earth is going on?!"

"What? Lord Oden died?!"

The scene was in a panic. Many people were pushing forward in the crowd. They did not believe what was happening. Some people even grabbed the people around them and asked them questions because they were illiterate.

The literacy rate in Wano Country is not high. The lower class has long been fixed due to the country's isolation. Kin'emon, Ashura Douji and other gangsters were mostly illiterate before they became retainers of Kozuki Oden. Only a small number of them could receive education.

They couldn't understand what was written in the obituary.

"Silence! Silence!"

People standing by the obituary counter struck large gongs, using this traditional method to quiet the scene.

"Just tell me what's going on!"

"Yeah, how could all the daimyo get into trouble on the same day! They are all powerful samurai!"

"I told you to be quiet, otherwise how can I explain it to you!"

Similar situations occurred in various villages in Wano Country. Huge curtains were opened and the video snails were ready. According to the development of the original timeline, the execution of Shimotsuki Yasuie was spread throughout the country in this way, and now they can naturally do the same thing.

The content of this live broadcast was not an execution, but a record of last night's banquet and some interview clips.

For example, an interview with the head chef of the Palace of Flowers at that time.

"The black charcoal snake didn't let us test the poison, and just took the food away..."

"I saw that the big snake has set up an ambush around the Flower City..."

These are the "testimonies" from the survivors in the Flower Capital Palace, followed by records of the banquet. The grand scene was naturally a fake banquet scene created by Olga, and the person who created this special effects scene was on vacation.

Creating an illusion also requires physical strength. Creating such a realistic scene was quite exhausting for her, so she went to Jiuli Beach for vacation.

No one cared about her at this time, and she was happily sunbathing with Yin Lisha Bai.

......

"You have seen that this is all Kurozumi Orochi's conspiracy! He was the one who secretly killed Kozuki Sukiyaki-sama a few years ago! Then the sorcerer beside him pretended to be Sukiyaki-sama and made him take over the position of general!

Then it was still Orochi. He pretended to be Mr. Kaido, which caused conflicts between the daimyos and him. He poisoned and arranged ambushes in advance to wipe out everyone in one fell swoop, and finally dragged Wano into hell! "

Although these people are from Wano Country, they were the ones who were initially recruited by Kojiro, so what they said were things that had been arranged in advance, and there were also quite a few "shills" among the crowd.

Now these "shills" are talking about how Kaido cleaned up the defeated soldiers yesterday, and some of them are really speaking well of the Beasts, such as the farm residents who were protected from the rioters under the cover of Pokémon.

People whose relatives are receiving treatment at the Pokémon Center, etc., and finally under the deliberate guidance, the black charcoal snake became the root of all evil.

Even the matter of his grandfather's rebellion, which had been downplayed at the beginning, was dug up again, so that in the country of Wano, the surname Kurotan became a sin.

The situation that Kurozumi Orochi had experienced before, where everyone hated him, almost happened again.

But it's not over yet.

"Although many unfortunate things have happened, there is still good news! Lord Oden's orphan, Lady Kozuki Hiyori, is still alive! She was just rescued, and under the protection of Mr. Kaido, she will succeed the position of general in a few days!

The general that was taken away by Kurozumi Orochi will return to Kozuki again!"

Originally there were many voices of opposition from the audience, but when this sentence was shouted out, those voices of opposition disappeared in an instant, and were replaced by cheers.

Hundreds of years of closure have given rise to this deformed cultural trend in Wano Country. If one wants to eliminate the Kozuki family directly, there will definitely be rebellions everywhere. It is easy to suppress the rebellion by force, but that means an unstable rear, and the Beasts will have to waste more troops to guard here.

This is different from their purpose. A puppet can solve this problem. With the passage of time, the new generation of Wano Country residents will change this situation with a stable rear.

"Okay everyone, there's one more thing to do! Some people took advantage of the chaos last night and started a riot! Kuri, Hakumai, Hana no Toshi, Hime, Udon, this riot affected five areas except Linghou!

Many people have been harmed because of this, and now the leaders have been caught, and now they will all be executed!"
