Pirates of the Silver King

Chapter 263 Know the truth

"Is this the Wano country?"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Shirakawa could be said to be angry. In the past, Oden once told Shirakawa that Wano country is a very beautiful country.

People here live a very good life.

But now what caught Bai Chuan's eyes was a piece of clothing that had been mended several times. Looking at their skinny appearance, it seemed that they couldn't even afford food and clothing.

The arrival of Bai Chuan naturally attracted the attention of these original residents. Looking at the clothes they were wearing, it was clear that they were not from Wano Country.

What's more, there are several giant warriors behind them.

But in the distance, what caught Bai Chuan's eyes were the weapon factories everywhere, and the billowing smoke from the big chimneys.

And the residents here did not dare to speak when they saw Bai Chuan and the others, and their eyes showed a timid look, because they already regarded Bai Chuan and the others as Kaido's group.

"It's really too miserable."

Jola said sadly that there are such people in a country who can't afford enough food and clothing because the country may be in war.

At this time, although there was no war in Wano Country, the lives of the residents seemed to be more painful than the war.

"Captain, it is said that the area where we are now is the poorest city in Wano Country. Other places are more or less better than this place. Maybe the daimyo here used to be Kozuki Oden."

Dolarang said something to Bai Chuan.

"is it?"

At this time, Shirakawa's hatred for Kaido has grown to a higher level.

"Who are you?"

At this time, a person suddenly ran out and asked him, and he seemed to be a child of seven or eight years old, or only people of this age, they don't know what fear is.

"Come back, Kuro."

At this time, a lady shouted anxiously beside the child, and wanted to drag him into her arms. He was afraid that his child would be in danger.

"We are friends of Kozuki Oden."

"A friend of Oda-sama?"

All the residents who heard this were taken aback.

"Do you have any evidence to prove that you are Oda-sama's friend?"

At this time, an elderly man came out and asked, he looked carefully into Bai Chuan's eyes, as if he wanted to expose the lie.

"I don't have any proof, but I was once on a boat with Oden."

But looking at the performance of this group of people, Bai Chuan is also a little strange. According to what Dolarang said, this group of people should be full of hatred and anger towards Yutian.

But looking at their expressions now, they are completely different.

Bai Chuan glanced at Dolarang, and Dolarang shrugged, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

"Really? Then you are here to find Oden-sama, but unfortunately, Oden-sama was executed by Kaido a year ago."

When he said this, the old man's tone was full of sadness, and even the eyes of some people beside him were filled with tears.

"I know, so I'm here to avenge Oden this time."

"What? Go away, you will not be Kaido's opponent."

Upon hearing the revenge, the old man said in panic, and then looked around, for fear that someone might hear what Bai Chuan said just now.

"Don't worry, we have to be very strong, but I have a little doubt. According to the information my companion heard, you should be very angry with Mitian, but, judging by your performance just now, you are obviously full of anger towards Mitian. respect."

"Oh, we missed His Highness Mita."

When saying these words, the old man shook his head helplessly.

"Can you tell me something?"

Bai Chuan frowned and asked, feeling that things were not as simple as he imagined.

"Of course, it's no secret.

At that time, after Oden-sama came back, he wanted to kill Heitan Orochi and challenge Kaido. We were all very happy, thinking that we could finally end this dark rule. Unexpectedly, Oden-sama jumped up and down because of revenge.

Since then, we have been full of disappointment with Oden-sama, and even those of us who used to be residents of Oden have gradually become disappointed with Oden over time, and called him Your Highness a fool. "

"Ah."

Bai Chuan nodded, motioning for the old man to continue, what he just said was similar to what Dolarang said.

"However, we didn't know the truth until before Oden was executed. It turns out that Heitan Orochi and Kaido have jointly captured many hostages. As long as Oden-sama performs a dance once a week, 100 people will be released, and he promised to build it together in five years. Ship, let everyone leave Wano country together.

But this is just a lie to tell Mr. Oden not to fight with them. They are afraid of Mr. Oden's strength and his prestige in Wano Country. We are sorry for Mr. Oden. If we had always believed in him at that time, it might not have been the result. up. "

The old man said regretfully, tears gradually flowed down and dripped to the ground.

"Fortunately, Oda-sama gave us hope, saying that someone will break this dark rule in 20 years and lead the founding of Wano Country. We have been waiting for this day to come."

"I didn't expect Kaido to use such a despicable method."

Hearing his description, Jorah said angrily, using hostages as a threat has lost his demeanor as a strong man, Kaido is not worthy of being a strong man on the sea at all.

"Don't wait 20 years, we're here to save you.

Oden has been kind to me, so I can't just watch his citizens live in dire straits. "

Originally, Shirakawa planned to clean up Kaido first this time, and then expel Kaido after the nine people in the prophecy arrived 20 years later.

But Shirakawa has changed his mind now, he wants to expel Kaido immediately, and then turn Wano Country into his own territory.

"May I take the liberty to ask? What kind of relationship do you have with our Oda-sama?"

At this time, the old man spoke again, but Bai Chuan could feel his nervousness, he was afraid of hearing the answer he didn't want to hear.

"My relationship with Mita can be regarded as both a teacher and a friend. He once guided my practice and is also a partner who took risks with us."

"Is that so, that would be great."

Hearing Bai Chuan's answer, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

"But Kaido is a very powerful enemy, and you may not necessarily be his opponents."

The old man reminded him kindly.

"Don't worry, there is no absolute certainty, we will not come back, it's just Kaido, it's not a problem."

Bai Chuan said this mainly for their reassurance. After all, Kaido used only two words to describe him, which really underestimated him.
