Arceus' Pirate Journey

Twenty years, this long time made her heart very tormented, and her attitude towards many things also changed.

The good news is that she is very free in Wano Country. Except that her actual power is limited to the palace, she has a lot of face-saving projects outside, and no one will stop her wherever she goes.

He traveled abroad regularly and saw more than any previous shogun. Although Kozuki Oden saw more, he never officially succeeded the shogun, so he was not counted.

Under the order of Kozuki Hiyori, the palace in the Flower Capital became busy again, not because Kozuki Hiyori was going out, but because of the name Kozuki Momonosuke.

Many of the waiters in the palace are in their thirties or forties, and many of them are from the side branches of the Kurotan family, so they have a deeper memory of what happened back then.

"Have you heard? The prophecy left by Madam Toki was not false. Kozuki Momonosuke and Oden's retainers appeared again."

"Don't talk nonsense. Where did you hear this news?"

"I heard from the general's maid that it was the general who deliberately spread the news."

"Forget it, forget it. What does it have to do with us? It doesn't matter who becomes the general. Life is pretty good now."

Similar discussions took place in every corner of the palace, but the attitudes were similar and no one wanted to respond to Momonosuke and his group.

In the original timeline, Wano Country had become extremely dilapidated under the persecution of Kurozumi Orochi and the oppression of Kaido. While there was singing and dancing in the Flower Capital, there were starving people everywhere in the villages outside.

The rebels were afraid of the use of force and did not dare to take any action. After discovering Momonosuke, the remaining supporters of the Kozuki family worked together to secretly send these people out of Wano Country.

It’s different now. Kaido doesn’t care about anything. As long as Wano Country can provide weapons, train soldiers, and provide special products for the Beast Fruit, he doesn’t care whether this place is good or bad.

Arceus has its own rules, and Pokémon has been integrated into Wano Country. Under the closed-loop economy, everything in Wano Country is closely related to the beasts. Even a blind person can feel all of this from the changes in life.

Moreover, the scope of the closed-loop economy extends beyond Baishou’s special products.

Medical care, public opinion, religion, salt and iron, from birth, aging, sickness and death to every blade of grass and tree, all are closely related to the animals.

The older generation still remembers these things, but those born in these 20 years have no idea who the so-called Momonosuke is. They just feel that someone is interfering with their lives.

The entire Jiuli area was closed and a large-scale search began, which affected the pace of life of many people.

Many people who were stuck on both sides of the blockade started to curse, but the outside world didn't know who had caused such a big commotion, so no one was named.

While the large-scale search was underway in Kuri, Denjiro and Kikunosuke had already received the message from Kawamatsu.

"He Song, what did you say?!"

"I heard that Momonosuke-sama has shown up and has been captured. Hiyori-sama wants to take us to see him."

There was a hint of helplessness in Kawamatsu's tone. They were the ones who had the deepest memories of the past 20 years, but no one mentioned this matter. They just hoped that Momonosuke could leave here smoothly.

They have witnessed the development of Wano Country and seen the changes in Wano Country. If they want to drive Kaido away now, that would be making an enemy of all the beasts. They have to first see whether the ordinary citizens of Wano Country are willing to accept this.

Originally, Momonosuke had a group of die-hard fans, but those people carried out mysterious operations a few years ago. They actually wanted to assassinate Hiyori Kozuki, not only getting themselves involved, but also pushing Hiyori Kozuki.

Kawamatsu had no idea what Hiyori would do after seeing Momonosuke.

It would be best if Momonosuke could escape, so that they would never see each other again, but they turned out to be extremely disappointing. If Kawamatsu's guess was correct, the flare just now was related to this incident.

From the time he saw the strange flare to the time he received the news that Momonosuke had been captured, it took less than half an hour in total.

"Denjiro, I remind you, calm down first. You don't have the ability to take Momonosuke away. Even if Kiku and I are included, the three of us can't get out of Onigashima, not to mention..."

Kawamatsu didn't finish his words. The current situation was a little complicated. He didn't know what Kikunosuke's attitude was, but Kawamatsu had a very tangled problem.

If the beasts wanted to execute Momonosuke, they would fight for it and be loyal to him as retainers.

But in the current situation, the beasts might not care, but Hiyori might not.

If it was Hiyori who wanted to kill Momonosuke, then who should they help would become a problem.

They are all Oden's descendants, so it will be a big trouble no matter what.

Denjiro was originally a meticulous person, but at this moment his mind was confused, and he didn't even notice the meaning of Kawamatsu's words, and just walked out first.

At the same time, a little above Denjiro and Kawamatsu.

"Ah, your general is quite resentful."

On the roof of the palace, Drake was hanging upside down on the eaves, communicating with Kikunosuke who was on the next floor. Originally, the roof was Jin's privilege, but after Jin stopped caring about the things here, Drake inherited this authority.

If the roof tiles weren't uneven, she could have just put a lounge chair there.

"Ms. Drake, eating while hanging upside down is not a good habit. Can you put down the sea beast meat first?"

"Don't worry about this kind of thing. You can feel the food slowly rising up your throat against gravity. Aren't you curious about why I said your general has a lot of resentment?"

"You will speak when it's time to speak. If you don't want to speak, it's useless for me to ask. If you don't want to speak, I will leave first. Lord Hiyori has arrived at the palace gate."

"Tsk, that's boring. She has a wakizashi in her sleeve. She might get really hot-blooded."

Thanks to the ability of the Roentgen cat, Drake's eyes have the ability to see through things. Except for the special fabric and Shayna's bone mask, ordinary clothes can't hide her.

Kozuki Hiyori looked no different from being naked in front of her. Drake could see that there was an ordinary wakizashi hidden in the wide sleeves, and judging from the style, it was made by a giant blacksmith.

The passionate version is that this is a cold joke that Drake learned from Kuzan, used to express some special meaning, but Kikunosuke has no interest in this "cold joke".

As Kikunosuke begins to accept Derek's existence and understands her personality, he realizes how much she loves to tease others.

"Aju, please don't make any wrong choices. If you do, it will be very difficult for me."

Before Kikunosuke left, Derek gave him a faint instruction. Although he did not get a response, the pause in his steps showed that he had heard the words.

Drake's suggestion is very clear. With the appearance of Momonosuke and other people from 20 years ago in Wano Country, the existing peace will inevitably be broken, and in the emerging waves, some people will inevitably sink to the bottom of the sea.

People who are abandoned by the times cannot keep up with the tide of the times. If you want to reverse and change an era, you cannot do it by just shouting a few slogans.

At least in Wano Country, no one can stop the wave called Beasts.

After several people gathered together, the team representing the general headed towards Onigashima.

Along the way, everyone seemed to be silent and no one knew what they were thinking. The accompanying personnel were not in such a complicated mood. Instead, they saw a very strange scene. In the direction of Jiuli, a large group of dark clouds appeared out of thin air in the sky.

Compared to ordinary dark clouds, this black cloud looks even stranger, like a large piece of ink.

There seemed to be a big secret hidden in the dark cloud, but this secret was nothing compared to what they were about to encounter.

......

"Master Quinn, the news from the Flower Capital is that Hiyori Kozuki has come to Onigashima, and she seems to be very interested in that little ghost."

The communication snail on Quinn's body rang, and the latest news reached his ears again.

The general's trip was quite a journey. It would take a long time to get from the Flower City to Onigashima at normal human speed. They couldn't fly at high speed as easily as Manderfesh and Quinn.

Quinn hasn’t returned to Onigashima yet, let alone Kozuki Hiyori who just received the news.

"Manderfish, take the three of them somewhere else to play. Don't go back to Ghost Island yet. What's going to happen next is not suitable for these little ghosts to see."

After thinking for a while, Quinn decided to send the three little ones away first. It was too early for them to get involved in this at their age. The father of any of them was not Kaido, and he had no intention of making his offspring grow up at an accelerated rate.

The Beast Family is large and powerful, enough to give the Sandaime more time and space to grow and receive appropriate training at the appropriate age.

They have worked hard for decades, and if their starting point is still the same as those who started from scratch, that would be the biggest dereliction of duty.

"I know what you mean, Brother Quinn."

"Well, go to Linghou to play snowballs or go to Ximei to fly a kite. Jiuli is not quiet right now. If it doesn't work, you can go to Baiwu to find an amusement park. You can make your own arrangements. I think it will be over by dark."

"Brother Quinn, you don't have to worry about me so much."

“Don’t worry about me. I’m worried about what might happen to these three brats. I won’t talk about Zeraora and Setsuna. If Mello gets hurt accidentally, it’s indirectly related to me.

You don't take it to heart, but your wife does, and whispers in your ear every day, what will you do? "

"Well...Rusalka wouldn't do that."

"Oh, your answer says it all. I'm just taking precautions. Go ahead and take them out to play. And you two, remember your promise and don't say anything nonsense."

Finally, Quinn gave some instructions to Meona and Wolf, then carried the three people back to Onigashima.

......

After a while, when Kozuki Hiyori just arrived at Onigashima, Quinn had already returned. He even arranged for someone to clean Momonosuke and change his clothes, because he couldn't meet the general in a dirty manner.

"Brother Kaido is fighting again, Lord Arceus is not here, and even the phone can't be reached. How come we can't contact anyone at the critical moment?"

Quinn fell into deep thought as he looked at the Rotom with no signal and the Den Den Mushi that no one answered.

He was happy to watch the show, but he was unsure whether to let Kozuki Hiyori and himself decide as they pleased, or to have the beasts interfere.

Both of the two bosses are not here. If the decision I make affects later decisions, the trouble will fall on me again.

"Ms. Yamato, this is a troublesome matter that you should decide for yourself."

Looking through the communication records in Rotom, Quinn's expression suddenly became sinister. He and Yamato were already in a state of setting traps for each other, so it was not realistic to reconcile directly.

Since Yamato is still planning on him, it makes sense for him to fight back.

Quinn acted quickly and contacted Yamato immediately, intending to let her make decisions for the subsequent arrangements.

It was at this time that Hiyori Kozuki met her long-lost brother.

......

In the empty room, Momonosuke sat in the middle, while Inuarashi and Cat Viper, who were given muscle relaxants by Quinn, leaned against the wall.

Compared to chains, the restrictions of potions can make them look more natural.

Momonosuke sat in the room trembling.

Just now, a pirate washed him roughly in the pool for a long time and then put a set of clothes on him. There was no maid assigned to him here. The pirate was assigned this task because he lost in gambling.

Momonosuke is now confused about the future. Just when he was immersed in fear, a strong voice came from outside.

"The General has arrived!"

Dressed in luxurious attire, Hiyori Kotsuki walked through the gate and finally stopped in front of Momonosuke.

"Brother Momonosuke, long time no see. You really are exactly the same as you were 20 years ago."

"You....you are Hiyori? How did you become a general?"

Looking at the grown-up Hiyori, Momonosuke's face was full of surprise.

Some were surprised at the change in Hiyori's appearance, while others were puzzled as to how Hiyori could become a general in Wano Country, which is ruled by all beasts.

"Why can't I become a general? You know, Momonosuke brother, I've missed you so much in the past 20 years!"

Hiyori stroked Momonosuke's head seemingly gently, and at the same time, she waved her right hand and the short sword slipped out of her sleeve.

With a flash of cold light, Kozuki Hiyori unsheathed the wakizashi with one hand, and the cold light pierced Momonosuke's abdomen. The tip of the knife was only two inches away from piercing Momonosuke's skin, but it stopped there.

"Hiyori-sama! Please stop!"

Denjiro stood aside with a grim expression, grabbing the blade that Kozuki Hiyori had stabbed with his bare hands, blood already dripping down the blade.

Kikunosuke had warned Denjiro before, so he was on guard when Hiyori approached Momonosuke.

"Why not be domineering?"

Hiyori did not put away the knife, but looked at Denjiro with a questioning tone.

"Ryu-o is a martial art. A retainer cannot use martial arts against his lord. It is disrespectful."

This is why Denjiro did not use Haki or weapons, but instead held the blade with his bare hands. Similarly, as retainers of the opposite sex, they are not allowed to touch each other's bodies at will.

"Do you still know that I am a general? Then I order you as a general to get out of the way and not to interfere in Kozuki's family affairs."

Chapter 1161 My dear brother, death is mercy

"Chenjiro, do you want to rebel?"

Kozuki Hiyori tried to draw her sword, but Denjiro's hand did not loosen at all. It stood in the middle like a pillar, motionless. As if he had no sense of pain, he used his muscles and bones to tightly hold Hiyori's wakizashi.

Even without Haki, Denjiro is much stronger than Kozuki Hiyori. Kozuki Hiyori's training only made her stronger than ordinary women. She did not inherit Oden's fighting talent.

Although he is not weak, he is not good at fighting.

So she asked Denjiro a soul-searching question.

The imperial family is the most ruthless. Even in a small country like a city-state, brothers can fight for the throne.

This situation has not been eliminated in Wano Country. Although the general has always been a member of the Kozuki family for hundreds of years, there have been bloody battles in the process.

For a country that is closed to the outside world, the country in front of it is everything, so many people are eyeing the position of general. Even the Kurozumi family, who are not from the same family, have had ideas about it, not to mention those who also have the bloodline of Kozuki.

Kozuki Oden had no brothers. If he had brothers, the position of shogun would have been given to his brothers long ago.

But his ancestors were not like this, so the Kozuki family had a rule that the father's retainers were not allowed to participate in the competition of the children's generation unless there was a secret instruction from the previous general.

If Denjiro had always been following Momonosuke, then what he did at this time would be understandable, but he was following Kozuki Oden, and both Hiyori and Momonosuke were just heirs to him.
