People are pirates, behind the scenes

It was cold and windy, and it was snowing heavily.

The sky and the earth are one color.

Beelzebub swept the snow in the courtyard and looked at the frozen old branches. Several snowbirds were frightened by his eyes and flew away, shaking off the snow on the branches.

Time flies by like a white horse, and suddenly three spring and autumn years have passed... Well, there is heavy snow all year round, and there is no distinction between spring and autumn.

The black charcoal snake is dissolute and indulgent. He hangs around all day long and indulges in entertainment and entertainment every night.

But like the proposal five years ago, no force was used against civilians in each township.

However, the five-year period has arrived.

Last night, Kozuki Oden went to the Flower Capital and asked Black Carbon Orochi to fulfill the promise he made five years ago and get out of Wano Country with Kaido.

however……

The naive Kozuki Oden made Kuotan Orochi and Kaido laugh, laughing at Kouzuki Oden for actually believing their lies.

The black charcoal snake chuckled and stated without hesitation that the reason why he agreed to Kozuki Oden back then was because the situation at that time was delicate. Once the daimyo from all over the world joined forces with Kozuki Oden to resist, it would inevitably have consequences that would be difficult to circumvent.

Now that Kaido is getting more and more powerful, there is no interference from other forces outside, and he has all kinds of weapons, money, and food inside, and the power of the Beast Pirates is getting stronger and stronger.

Furthermore, as Kozuki Oden gradually lost his prestige in the hearts of the Wano warriors, he became a joke among civilians across the country.

Now if I want to raise my voice again, it is impossible to have tens of thousands of followers.

The black charcoal snake even spit out fragrance, constantly humiliating the Guangyue clan and filling up their hatred.

Kozuki Oden was furious, and after returning to Kurigoten Castle overnight, he summoned the Nine Red Sheaths... The meaning is self-evident.

"As soon as tomorrow... Kozuki Oden will fight to the death... Oden's world mission is about to be completed, and another member of the Roger Pirates will be included in the Collection of Heroes."

Beelzebub said he was very hesitant. He knew more about Kozuki Oden than Roger did. The legend of Kozuki Oden's boyhood is still circulated in Wano.

Therefore, the possibility of recognition by the Heroic Spirit Collection is very high.

He sat down on the stone seat in the courtyard, drank a cup of hot tea, and watched the snowflakes fall quietly, living a comfortable and comfortable life.

"Fujii, what are you doing hiding outside the door?" Beelzebub said with a smile.

Fujii walked out embarrassedly, rubbing the back of his head, hesitating for a while, fidgeting with his hands, and asked: "Nishigoro-kun, do you know any magic? Otherwise, why would the snowflakes disappear when they get close to you?"

Beelzebub said seriously, "This is a ninjutsu that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. You should understand it, right? It is the kind that is passed down from male to female, and cannot be passed down to others."

In Wano, samurai and ninja are two major professions. The former charges into battle, while the latter lurks and assassinates, such as the samurai Kin'emon, the ninja Raizo, and the charming female ninja A-nin.

Fujii was immediately disappointed, sighed and asked, "Nishigoro-kun, aren't you going to work today?"

"There are enough coffins in the store. We are on break recently. Don't worry. I will pay you as usual. You can go home and rest for a few days."

"Okay, Nishigoro-kun."

Hearing Fujii's footsteps walking away, Beelzebub stood up and said, "Meet Oden before the decisive battle. Think of it as a farewell to him."

It is getting darker and darker day by day, and the sky has become a little more solemn at some point.

Jiuli, Imperial City.

"I will follow Lord Oden to the death!"

Kinemon and others bowed sincerely and regarded death as if they were dead.

Kozuki Oden, wearing a patchwork daimyo uniform, said with an moved expression: "Do you know how dangerous this trip is?"

Kinemon raised his head, with large traces of tears remaining on his face: "It is precisely because I know this that I am determined to overthrow the Kutan Orochi with Oden-sama and restore Wano Country to its former peaceful and prosperous scene!"

Cat Viper and the others nodded repeatedly. They were Kozuki Oden's swords and shields. The swords could kill with hidden edges, so how could they be willing to be rusty?

Shutenmaru grinned and analyzed: "The Black Carbon Orochi is just a deer-headed rat-brained creature, so there is nothing to worry about. What really needs to be guarded against is Kaido behind him."

Kanjuro said with a smile: "Oden-sama is wise and powerful. Even if Kaido and Black Carbon Orochi join forces, they are not a single enemy of Oden-sama."

However, Kozuki Oden shook his head with a solemn expression: "This person is of the same strength as me, and it is really difficult to deal with a head-on confrontation. Therefore, this beheading plan should be won quickly, and the Black Carbon Orochi cannot take advantage of it."

Everyone was convinced, and the handsome Kikinocheng asked: "Do you want to inform the daimyo of other realms? Your Excellency is on good terms with the Shigetsuki Yasu family, the Daimyo of White Dance, and the leader of the underworld, Kabao Goro, has also mentioned it to you. He has been arrested now. If we rescue him and join forces between the two of them, we won’t have anything to worry about even if we face Kaido’s army!”

Kin'emon's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Kiku is right, if Lord Shigetsuki Yasujia and Hyou Ye help us, we will definitely be able to regain the position of general of Wano Country!"

Seeing Kozuki Oden's hesitation, Kanjuro secretly thought something bad, shook his head and reminded: "Don't forget, Oden-sama just said that this battle needs to be won quickly. If you contact the Hakudai Daimyo at this time, there is a possibility that information will be leaked. The danger gave them time to prepare..."

"Moreover, Lord Oden has lost all prestige among the people in the past five years. If he cannot win a perfect victory, even if he can win, the people will not promote him to the position of general. Doesn't this go against our original intention?"

Hearing this, Kinemon and Shutenmaru hesitated. In the past five years, all they heard were curses and sighs for Lord Oden, and the prestige they had finally built up was lost in one fell swoop.

The position of shogun is their obsession as retainers. Not to mention that it is natural for Kozuki Oden to inherit this position. What they want to do is to support Kozuki Oden to sit in that position with the support of the people and be praised and worshiped by generations. .

A daimyo who does not want to be a general is not a good daimyo, and a retainer who does not want to support a daimyo to become a general is not a good retainer.

Ju Zhicheng frowned and said, "I think it's better to be on the safe side..."

Kin'emon interrupted: "Kanjuro is right. Today is different from the past. Five years ago, Oden-sama's compromise led to the massive revenge of the black charcoal snake. Only by personally taking over the position of shogun can you be able to sit on it. The position of general."

Kozuki Oden waved his hand and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether I am a general or not. The Yasushi family knows how to manage the country better than I do. He helped me handle many political cases back then."

"It's just that the person who tied the bell must be tied to untie the bell. I must kill the black charcoal snake myself!"

Kozuki Oden's eyes suddenly turned cold. If he hadn't believed the lies of the Black Carbon Orochi back then, he wouldn't be in the situation he is in now!

What's more...how can we not avenge the murder of our father? !

At this moment, Kozuki Oden suddenly noticed a powerful and unconcealed aura appearing above Goten Castle.

As if facing a formidable enemy, Kozuki Oden subconsciously held down the scabbard: "Who?!"
