One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 233 The Legend of Kozuki Oden (2)

In the same year, the young Whitebeard led his pirate group along the waterfall to the Wano country, and as always, they overturned on the beach of Jiuli with the boat.Hearing that there was a ship coming to Wano Country, Oden immediately abandoned all his retainers and rushed to the beach excitedly. As soon as they met, he had a fight with White Beard and happily asked to join the other party's fleet.

Oden, who only wanted to go to sea since he was a child, has never given up his desire to leave Wano country. He has never given up even though he has tried dozens of times to go to sea. It is impossible to let go of this opportunity, even if the other party does not seem like a good person.

Oden expressed to Kin'emon and other retainers that he wanted to go out to sea for adventure no matter what, and he kept begging Whitebeard to let him join. Unfortunately, Whitebeard saw that he was not the kind of person who could be someone else's subordinate, and was worried that such a People joining themselves will have the same ending as the Rocks Pirates.

Even though Whitebeard kept rejecting him, it didn't extinguish Mitian's enthusiasm for going out to sea for adventure.Kin'emon and the others were also afraid that Kuri Daimyo would run away, so they could only send someone to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day.

The Whitebeard Pirates were also afraid of being entangled by such a person, and even went to sea secretly at night. After all, Oden was the next general of Wano Country, and Whitebeard didn't want to get into the trouble of kidnapping the king of a country.In order to thank Mi Tian for the food and wood, White Beard also left a treasure chest as a thank you gift.

However, Oden had expected that they would abandon him and sneak out to sea, hooked their masts with iron chains, and followed them forcefully.Izo, who was in charge of guarding Oden that night, also followed. He couldn't let Wano's next general run away.

Whitebeard's boat was jumping off the waterfall. Marco, who was still an intern on the boat at the time, originally planned to untie the iron chains wrapped around the boat, but was stopped by Whitebeard.Xu was a little moved by Mita's persistence, Whitebeard just had someone rescue Izo who was hanging on the chain, and Mita himself was dragged behind the pirate ship while holding the chain.

White Beard considers that Oden is a dangerous person with a complicated background and identity, and letting him join easily may put the crew members who he regards as his family in danger.In the end, he also gave in a step, from being determined not to let Mi Tian get on the boat, to as long as he kept holding on to the iron chain for three days, White Beard would let him on the boat.

And Oden, who finally saw a little light, did not back down in the slightest, and held on tightly to the iron chain that let him go to freedom.

It was also discovered in Wano that Oden was missing, and Izo, Inuarashi, and Nekomushir also disappeared. Wano country immediately fell into chaos, but this has nothing to do with Oden who has successfully sailed to sea. Learn how to successfully board Whitebeard's ship and leave Wano Country to venture into a wider world.

For three days, despite the wind and rain, rough seas, or being bitten by various sea kings as bait, even if soaking in the salty sea water has caused his body to swell, Oden still clings to his body without eating or drinking. Hold on to the chain.

The people on the pirate ship were not optimistic at the beginning, but were moved by his extraordinary perseverance in the end, and began to cheer for Oden, who could no longer see his original appearance in the sea.

However, in the last hour, Oden, whose body had been soaked in seawater until he looked like a monster, heard the woman's cry for help, let go of his hand and went to save someone, and saved a young woman who was entangled by pirates.She is Tianyue Shi, who has the power to travel through time and space, and is trying to go to the dream country of Wano.

In the end, Whitebeard also led the pirates to find him, and agreed with Mitian to board the ship.When Tianyue saw that Mi Tian was from Wano Country, he followed him and joined the Whitebeard Pirates.

Since then, Oden has seen a more magical world than the narrow Wano Country, where there are coldness, heat, plants, animals, and even humans that he has never experienced before.

Even when Tianyue said that she was born more than 800 years ago, Oden thought it was one of the trivial things in the universe.

The adventures of the Whitebeard Pirates are often in the news, including the newcomer Oden from Wano Country.And this warrior from the blocked country also attracted the attention of the great pirate Gol-D-Roger at that time.

After going out to sea, Oden learned about the structure of the world, and also realized that Wano Country is just a small dot on the world map.

And Oden also learned of Tianyueshi's life experience, her parents' hometown is Wano country, so she is so determined to go to Wano country.But after adventures and conversations with Oden, the two also fell in love.

However, in one battle, White Beard casually said that Wano Country is still free at present, but this meaningful statement was not taken seriously by Oden. Now he only has the freedom and unrestricted adventure at sea in his mind.

28 years ago, that is, the second year after Oden went to sea, Kozuki Oden and Tenzuki's first child was born.Overjoyed, Oden gave his son a name that could embody the meaning of 'Unrivaled Under Heaven', that is Kozuki Momonosuke.

Izo, who also stayed on the boat, saw that Oden now has a wife and son, and thought that he would calm down and take his family back to Wano Country, so he advised him to go back to Wano Country.Because Wano country has no means of external communication, they don't know what is happening in Wano country at all.However, Oden didn't intend to go back to Wano Country. Amazuki Toki, also known as Kozuki Toki, who had always wanted to go to Wano Country, also agreed to his behavior.

The team of the Whitebeard Pirates continued to expand, so they decided to divide into five teams to manage the crew.Although he doesn't like the troublesome thing of becoming the captain, Oden, who is extremely capable, is still appointed as the captain of the second team, even though he himself is extremely resistant.During the journey, from time to time there will be new people on board, such as the helpless child Teach at that time, who is now the fourth emperor Marshall D. Teach.

Life at sea is wonderful, no matter how far you sail.Oden felt that it was far from enough, he couldn't give up the free and wonderful adventure now.

While he was enjoying the unfettered adventure at sea, Wano Country had already begun to develop towards the point of no return.

The harbinger of all the outbreaks is that the current general of Wano country Kozuki Sukiyaki is critically ill, which also brings the daimyos from all townships to the flower capital.Sukiyaki also felt that his time was approaching, so he explained to the daimyos in advance that the next general wanted Mita to succeed him, but Mita was not in the country now, and if something happened to him, he would appoint a general before Mita came back. The agent, that is Heitan Orochi, whom Oden regards as his own brother.

The Kang family, the famous Baiwu at that time, also had doubts about this, but they couldn't disobey the general's order.

And Orochi, who didn't know when to sneak into the general's side and even seized his trust, also patted his chest, made various oaths, and even knelt down to ensure that he had no second thoughts, and was willing to do his best to contribute to Wano country after death, and was willing to do his best before Oden came back. Become a temporary doll.

Seeing his extremely humble and loyal appearance, although the Kang family and other daimyos had some doubts about his origin from Heitan's family, they were not too vigilant, saying that they were willing to assist him until Oden came back.

But at that time, no one would have expected that the black hand behind all this would be the black charcoal serpent who seems to be loyal, honest and timid as a mouse.

When Orochi hadn't launched a series of plans, he really thought that he could survive, but when he learned the bleak truth about Heitan's family, what he thought of was to ask the current general Kozuki and his family. Wano country's revenge.

Back then, Heitan Orochi's grandfather declared that he was guilty of seppuku, but in the power struggle, only the loser will be guilty.Only those in power who can stand on a fixed point are qualified to make legislation, and the guilty will become innocent.The generals of the previous generation of the Guangyue family had no heirs and no heirs, so the five famous families serving the Guangyue family were also ready to move.That is the Shuangyue family, the Heitan family, the Yuyue family, the Tianyue family, and the Fengyue family. All of them secretly think that they can succeed the next general.At that time, Orochi's grandfather was also ready,

It is planned to poison and kill those daimyo families one by one, and remove them one by one under the guise of civil strife.

The plan was going very smoothly, and it was just around the corner to win the Wano country, but at that time, the general gave birth to an heir, and that is the current Wano country general Kozuki Sukiyaki.In the end, the Heitan family not only failed to seize the world, but their plan was even exposed.Orochi's grandfather apologized, and his title, territory, city and status were all deprived.Heitan's family, who had lost everything, was cast aside, and the whole family lived on the streets.

Orochi learned the truth about his family from a crazy old woman, and the thoughts of revenge and hatred were deeply imprinted in his mind: If the heir Kozuki Sukiyaki hadn't been born at that time, the Heitan family would not have fallen into such a situation. In such a poor state, without his voice, Heitan's family will eventually succeed in seizing power, and Orochi will one day become the general of Wano!

The old lady who came here from overseas is a person with the ability to imitate fruits. In order to achieve her goal, she suggested that as long as Orochi listens to her, she will give Orochi the power to become a general.In order to provide enough bait, she even took out a devil fruit.

Orochi was also attracted by the future and plan she described, and decided to put all his eggs in one basket. Anyway, his current life would not be happy anymore, so he might as well take a gamble that maybe he really fulfilled the Heitan family's dream of seizing power.

The plan was very simple at the beginning, that is, to save money first, and only with money can capital produce weapons.The craftsmen of Wano Country are all skilled, and they can get a strong backing as bait in turn.

For this reason, after being screened, Orochi set his first target on the Kang family, who is usually generous and generous. After hiding his real surname and becoming a servant of the Kang family through selling misery, he also followed the Oden has met several times, and after learning about Oden's carefree personality that doesn't like to explain, he also has a plan for the next step.When Oden became a famous name in Kuri, he took away all the treasury of the Kang family, and went to Kuri to borrow money from Oden, in the name that the Kang family needed money turnover but was embarrassed to ask others to borrow money .

Yutian and the Kang family have a very good relationship, and they did see Orochi in the Kang family's mansion before, so they did not doubt the real purpose of the Orochi, and also took into account the face of the Kang family and did not let people confirm it, but repeatedly borrowed money For Orochi, even though there were many objections from his retainers, he did not refuse Orochi who came to borrow money every time.

After defrauding a lot of money from Oden, Orochi's next target is the general Sukiyaki in the capital.The old woman with the imitation fruit turned into Oden. In the name of visiting the general, she introduced Orochi to the general Sukiyaki, and emphasized that he treats Orochi like a younger brother, and that Orochi is particularly good at medicinal materials. knowledge.

General Sukiyaki thought of Oden's current changes, and did not doubt or investigate the people brought by his son, and directly promoted Orochi to an important servant.During the dormant period, Orochi showed a humble, obedient and loyal attitude, which gradually gained the trust of General Sukiyaki.In addition, "Oda" emphasized that Orochi was good at medicinal materials at the time, and since then, when the shogun sukiyaki had any ailments, Orochi would directly let Orochi diagnose it.

In other words, thanks to the old woman's ability to imitate, under the joint murder of her and Orochi, no one knows when the real Shogun Sukiyaki died of illness.

As far as everyone knows, only the critically ill shogun passed away after entrusting Wano country to Orochi temporarily.
