Arceus' Pirate Journey

However, his external intelligence system was so poor that he did not receive any news of Oden's return. When he learned the news, Kozuki Oden had already come to his door.

"Oden....No...Oden, what are you doing!?"

"What? Of course I'm going to chop you up! Big Snake, come out here!"

Even Kozuki Oden couldn't break the barrier created by the Barrier Fruit, and Orochi's mind was constantly thinking of countermeasures. After Oden had chopped hundreds of times, Orochi made an unexpected move.

"Lord Oden! Please listen to my explanation!"

I saw the black charcoal snake suddenly stand up, then kneel on the ground with his knees together, put his hands on his thighs, then put his hands forward on the ground in an inward-facing position, leaned forward, and pressed his head hard on the ground.

Orochi sat down on the ground and knelt down in front of Kozuki Oden with his whole body prostrated.

"Hmm? Orochi, do you think I'll let you go if you kneel down? If you have the guts, come out and fight me like a samurai!"

"Lord Oden, I know you must be very angry, but please listen to my explanation. Chanmaru, remove the barrier."

As he said this, he ordered Kurozumi Chanmaru to remove the barrier that was covering the outside. Kurozumi Chanmaru hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed Kurozumi Orochi's order.

The reason why Kurozumi Orochi did this was because he was gambling. He bet that Oden would hesitate when he saw him like this. If he lost the bet, he had more than one life anyway, so he could think of other ways.

Although there was an element of gambling, he bet right. Enma was stuck on his neck, but Oden did not actually cut him down.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain."

"Thank you very much! Lord Oden!" Orochi still did not raise his head, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The thing is, when Sukiyaki-sama was dying, he forgave my grandfather's mistakes and let me take the position of acting general. I was deeply moved by this."

As he spoke, he squeezed out a lot of tears, giving people the feeling that he was crying and sobbing.

"Everyone knows this. If you don't believe me, you can ask other daimyo."

"Ah, and then what?" Kozuki Oden had also heard his retainers mention this matter. After all, this was something that Kurozumi Murasaki did using the Mimic Fruit, and the people of Wano Country did not know about it.

"And... I'm sorry, Lord Oden! I did a lot of wrong things because of my greed, and because the daimyo hated me, I was confused and thought of using outsiders to deal with them, and brought Kaido into Wano Country.

At first I just treated him as a mercenary, but...but I didn't expect his ambition to be so big that he actually wanted the entire Wano Country. When I found out about this, it was already too late.

No one in Wano Country is his opponent. The Beasts Pirates are rampant here. I even found someone from the World Government through my connections, but even their agent Kaido didn't take him seriously and killed him in the sky above the Flower Capital in front of many people. "

He kowtowed and talked about his experiences over the years. To sum it up, it was all done by Kaido and he was forced to do so.

"Do you think I'm a fool? You looked so happy just now while having fun."

"Lord Oden! I am doing this for Kaido to see. If I don't cooperate with him, then Wano Country will be turned into hell by him!

I am also from Wano Country, how could I possibly persecute the people? I know you must have heard a lot about my bad reputation, but that was all done by Kaido, opening factories and forcing people to work in mines, all of that was done by him.

Although he will pay wages, it is just a means for him to win people's hearts. For every gold he pays, he will take three golds from the treasury of Wano Country!"

At the end of his words, he raised his head and looked at Oden.

"Lord Oden, I did make mistakes, but the real scourge of Wano Country is Kaido. I have been waiting for you to come back every day these years. Only you can lead us to expel him and let Wano Country return to freedom!"

If you were to find the best actor in Wano Country, that person is not in the theater or the brothel, but Kurozumi Orochi. He never tells the truth, but Kozuki Oden actually felt that he had wronged him.

But in the end, he still put Tianyuyuzhan on his neck.

"Then how do you explain my wife's matter?"

Chapter 214: The Naive Oden

"Of course it was Kaido who did it. How could a villain hurt the lady and the Crown Prince? And Lord Oden, I believe you have heard the rumors. It was Kaido's men who did it.

But they later found a new excuse to cover it up. Do you believe that a pirate would go fishing for goldfish?"

Kurozumi Orochi seemed to be completely immersed in the role, and showed no sign of fear even when someone held a knife to his neck.

"You must have known about Lord Kin'emon's affairs. Kaido wanted to execute him directly, but I managed to get through. I have been silently contributing to Wano Country."

.....

"Shameless! Godfather, this man is so shameless!"

Above Onigashima, Yamato was watching the images broadcast by Rotom on TV with a look of shock on her face. In her opinion, Orochi was just talking nonsense. Although she didn't understand the various things in it, in her opinion, Kaido was not the kind of person described by Orochi.

And those things were not done by the Beasts Pirates.

"This is the adult world, a world full of deception. You see, he has abandoned his dignity in order to survive, and he is full of nonsense. Do you know why?"

"Um...."

"Because he is too weak, Yamato, you are my daughter, you must not be a weakling, do you understand?"

Kaido gave Yamato's answer directly. In his opinion, everything Orochi did was because he was weak.

Kaido still has some father-daughter feelings for Yamato, but his way of education is definitely not successful. But this method is not too different from others. The education of Garp next door is not much different from his, and both can cost lives if you are not careful.

The biggest difference is that Luffy just met a red-haired guy and then wanted to become a pirate, while Yamato was directly possessed and brainwashed.

But the situation is different now. Kaido still has his fatherly love for Yamato.

"By the way, remember this guy's face. He was the one who deceived your foster father when we first came to Wano Country."

"I see, this guy is a total badass, and he's ugly, too."

......

As for Kozuki Oden, after hearing Orochi's nonsense, he actually began to have doubts.

"Lord Oden, this position originally belonged to you. Logically, now that you have returned, this position should be returned to you. But please forgive me, I cannot let you be the general now."

"Ok?"

“If you take the throne of Shogun now, Kaido will definitely find out something is wrong, and a war will inevitably break out in Wano Country. Although I believe in your strength, Kaido is not weak either.

Moreover, there are a thousand powerful pirates in the country alone, as well as several extremely powerful cadres. If a war breaks out, the people will inevitably suffer heavy casualties."

He wanted to instigate Oden and Kaido to become enemies, but he didn't want them to start fighting immediately, otherwise his good days would be over after the fight. So Kurozumi Orochi suggested to Kozuki Oden not to start a war on the grounds of caring about the people.

This really touched Kozuki Oden's heart. Before he left, he acted decisively enough, but after he came back, he became timid.

There will be casualties in war, even Luffy understands this, but Oden can't do it.

"I have a plan. Kaido's people must have known that you are here. Now he trusts me. We can use his trick to break down Kaido's vigilance first, and then take him down by surprise. Lord Oden, what do you think?"

"what's the plan."

"You will perform the Kama Sutra dance to make Kaido relax his guard, and a trustworthy person will secretly accumulate strength to drive him out at the right time."

.......

In the Hakumai area, at the residence of Shimotsuki Yasuie, Kozuki Oden came here, but in the end he still failed to kill Kurozumi Orochi directly.

It’s not that he believed Kurozumi Orochi, there must be some lies in those words, but he agreed with what Kurozumi Orochi said. If a war started now, there would inevitably be great casualties, which was something he didn’t want to see.

"Lord Oden, is this what you said to Orochi?"

"Yes, Kang family, what exactly happened in Wano Country in these years."

"It's pretty much what you know. Although I don't think Orochi's words are credible, Oden, it's a piece of cake for you to deal with Orochi. Even though his position as acting shogun was given by Sukiyaki-sama, you are Sukiyaki-sama's only son.

But Kaido is different. I have to admit that what he did has greatly improved the living conditions of some residents of Wano Country. This is the most terrifying thing. He is digging up the roots of Wano Country."

This is Shimotsuki Yasuie's most intuitive feeling, the people's hearts. The Beasts Pirates are targeting the people's hearts, but because of the special situation in Wano Country, the effect is relatively slow.

There is no comparison between Orochi and Oden in any aspect. In Kangjia's view, as long as Oden says a word, daimyos from all over the country will cooperate with him to eliminate Kurozumi Orochi.

But Kaido is different. Not only does he have powerful military force, but he has also gradually gained recognition from the people of Wano Country.

"Kaido has evil ambitions. Although what he did is a good thing for many people, Oden and Wano Country belong to the Kozuki family. I think we can temporarily join forces with Orochi to expel Kaido first and then think of a solution.

But his plan..."

"If it works, I don't mind saving face."

"No, Lord Oden, Orochi's words are not credible. If you really want to do this, you must not tell others for the sake of secrecy, otherwise you will definitely not be able to deceive Kaido. To be safe, I will go with you to talk to Orochi."

......

So Oden and Shimotsuki Yasuie came to the Flower Capital again at night. This time, Orochi was not as arrogant as at the beginning, but looked humble.

"Lord Oden, Lord Kang, what do you think of my plan?"

"Orochi, you should know what the consequences of this will be."

“Yes, I know, but only this kind of humiliation can make Kaido believe me.

And after the task is accomplished, I can issue a statement to explain everything to the entire Wano Country, letting everyone know that Lord Oden sacrificed himself for the sake of the people.

Lord Kang, you can also testify to this, and the matter of accumulating strength can only be left to you, after all, you are the most trustworthy among the many daimyo. "

Kozuki Oden nodded at Shimotsuki Yasuie, and then Shimotsuki Yasuie took out paper and pen.

"Words are not enough, let's make a written agreement, Da She. I will keep this agreement confidential and will only make it public when the truth comes to light."

"Of course, of course, this is as it should be. After all, it concerns the reputation of Lord Oden. However, Lord Kang, there are some things you still need to pay attention to..."

Chapter 215: People watching the joke, Roger surrendering himself

"what?"

"Kaido and his men have many spies in Wano Country, so you must be careful in your actions and not make a big fuss."

Then he began to discuss the details with Oden and others, such as not looking for help from overseas for safety reasons. However, Oden did not intend to do so. He believed that this was Wano Country's own business and others should not be involved.

"But where are Kaido's men? It's been so long since the incident happened, and you've cleaned up the outside area, but Kaido's men haven't arrived yet?"

"Really not. Kaido often leaves here to do things. Maybe he just happened to be away..."

......

On Onigashima, the executives of the Beasts Pirates of Wano Country gathered together, and the micro-monitor Rotom broadcast everything that happened there here.

The essence of Rotom is an electronic ghost. When it is not moving, it is no different from an ordinary machine, so no one has discovered it.

Orochi thought his plan was perfect. He could cause a conflict between Oden and Kaido, but not let the conflict break out immediately, so that he could judge the situation before triggering the conflict.

But he didn't know that Kaido had been laughing at them from the beginning to the end, and now he was treating it as a late-night movie.

Yamato has gone back to sleep. Kaido's training policy for her now is to go to bed early and get up early. If she doesn't sleep now, she will not have enough energy the next day.

Her schedule is very full now, and she just went back to take a bath.

And it was a medicinal bath, a medicine specially prepared by Naqin for body conditioning. She was a genius who could achieve rejuvenation through herbal medicine, so preparing such a little thing was a piece of cake for her.

The only problem is that the ingredients are precious and the cost is very high, but this is nothing to the Beasts Pirates, after all, they have the Beast Fruit to provide a steady supply of funds.

After hearing that they had confirmed the plan, Quinn couldn't help it anymore.

"The fruit dance? Hahahaha, what kind of idiot could come up with this? And he actually agreed to it?"

"Yeah, that's stupid. Why don't you go dance with him? You two idiots might look pretty good together."

Wherever Quinn is, there will be quarrels. His quarrels with Jin and Shayna have become a unique style within the Beasts Pirates. They have a small quarrel every three days, a big quarrel every five days, he gets beaten once a week, and disappears once a month.

He got beaten because he couldn't beat Jin and Sha Yinna. Although he tried very hard, the other two not only worked harder than him, but also had unique talents and bloodline advantages, and even some attribute restraints, which made Quinn very difficult.

As for why he disappeared once a month, it was to prevent himself from being beaten too hard. Also, he recently discovered a strange situation. Setsuna replaced the target for archery practice with his photo. He himself didn't know when he had offended the wolf.

The moment he followed Sha Yinna every day gave him a new sense of crisis. He heard that if the level of observation Haki is high enough, one can predict the future. For some reason, he felt that he was about to reach that level.

But despite all the fuss, we still have to do our work.

"Kaido, you should go find Orochi tomorrow, otherwise it will be inappropriate."

"That's true, but do we really want to do this?"

"Of course, that woman Kozuki Toki had worked hard to help Oden regain some of his reputation. If this happens, his reputation will be ruined. As for clarifying the matter, he must have this opportunity."

Oden didn't want too many casualties, and neither did Arceus and Kaido. It took a lot of effort to train this group of elite troops.

And after hearing their plan, Kaido just felt that he was giving away points. Based on his relationship with Oden, if he risked everything and went to the open sea to look for Roger's crew and Whitebeard's help, then the current Hundred Beasts would really be no match for him.

In that case, a fight with all beasts would have to start from the beginning, and he couldn't help but admire this opponent who had a good hand but played it badly.

They wasted the opportunity and lost their own face. It must be said that the big snake really helped them a lot.

"Arrange people to keep an eye on the Shimotsuki Yasushi family and those daimyo, and have Kojiro find a few people to sneak in."

"I understand, but Lord Holy Beast, what about the written document?"

"Written receipt? Leave it alone. The handwriting could be forged, the person could be coerced, that thing has no credibility at all.
