Pirate's Freedom

"Although I don't want to admit it, one thing Kaido said is right."

Before Kaido could speak, Tata Tot turned to Kozuki Oden and said to him.

"Oden, if you have ever been a pirate, you should understand that pirates fight with all possible means. Just now, you lost once."

"..."

[Tianyu Yuzhan] and [Yama] were halfway out of their sheaths, and Kozuki Oden remained silent.

"Say in advance, I am not your partner. Both you and Kaido are good opponents for me. It is a pity to die like this, that's all."

"certainly--"

After closing his hands and retreating, Tata Tot turned his head and looked around.

"If you really don't want to give up, it doesn't matter. I can be your opponent."

"Although the probability is unlikely, I still want to say-"

After a pause, Tata Tot smiled brightly.

"You two, please come together!"

"..."

Following Tata Tote's gaze, Kozuki Oden also looked around -

Covered in blood and swaying, Kinemon performed the [Fox Fire Style] starting move...

The huge Asura boy stood with his sword and stood upright to confront the enemy...

With a stabbing sound, he tore off his sleeve and tied the wound tightly, and the blood slowly moistened...

and also……

"..."

Kozuki Oden walked towards Kaido without saying a word, and the moment he passed by Kaido——

Chong——! !

Kozuki Oden sheathed his sword and walked towards his retainer without looking back.

at the same time--

Kaido, who gripped the iron rod tightly, took a deep look at Tata Tot and turned around.

"war--"

Kaido yelled.

"ended!!!"

Dang!

The weapon in his hand fell to the ground——

The pirates, far and near, all over the mountains and plains, kept their weapons on the ground, and some even sat down on the ground and fell backwards.

"The war is over? No—"

The [Red Scabbard Ten Heroes] who were supporting each other walked past, but the pirates lying on the ground didn't even want to move a finger. Tata Tot looked on very calmly.

"It should be said that the armistice period has arrived."

Kaido and Kozuki Oden left in two directions.

"However, I came up with a good idea -"

From a distance, Tata Tot shouted at them.

"Kaido!"

With the iron rod on his shoulders, Kaido turned around.

"Oda!"

Supporting Kinemon, Kozuki Oden turned around.

"Would you like to come to the banquet I'm throwing?"

Tata Toth extended an invitation to them.

……

Baiwu, Benwu Port, time keeps passing forward.

"If you do as the Romans do, should you say... to be kind to others?"

Hiding in the fiery red maple forest, he watched from a distance the pirates all over the mountains and plains receding like the tide, and [Don't Look] touched his chin with a regretful expression.

"Stop coming!" [Don't say] said to him mercilessly.

"Since just now, you haven't taken a step forward."

"Don't say that~!"

"In the blink of an eye~ the little mouse of the past~ knocked the dragon to the ground~!"

The cheerful [Don't Look] had a brisk tone of voice as if he was about to sing.

"Of course you have to sit in the [audience seat] to appreciate such a rare thing."

At this point, [Don't look] added in a gloating tone.

"As you can see, our distinguished guest left the game in person and lost another chip."

"To judge so quickly?"

After asking a question, [Don't Tell] began to ponder.

"Rao is Tata Toth..."

No need to answer, [not looking] did not speak.

"but--"

He folded his arms and said calmly [Don't say anything].

"We are not yet sure that what happened on Batelila Island was caused by Tata Tot."

"Indeed," agreed [without looking] who took the words.

"The difference in strength between the front and back is so big that it's hard for people to believe that it was the same person."

No longer joking with his companions, [Bukan], who became serious, also had some sighs.

"But Lieutenant General Aokiji's testimony has been accepted by the World Government, there is no doubt about it."

"A person's growth will change many things, and there are also some things that are difficult to change."

When it comes to his own professional field, [Don't Look]'s plain voice has strong self-confidence.

"After all, fighting is also an [art], and the strong will have their own [art style]."

After making an analogy, [Don't Look] changed his words and looked really regretful.

“However, just as it’s best not for an artist to be too rich, the same goes for being too powerful.”

He was leaning against a maple tree, [not looking], frowning in thought, and suddenly murmured to himself.

"Of course, defeating the strong by the weak is the best, and the confrontation between the strong is also considered the best. There is no beauty in bullying the weak by the strong. Tata Tot obviously did not use his full strength... I just don't know what the current situation is. His Where does the power go..."

"Right now, what we should be more concerned about is-"

[Don't look]'s thoughts kept diverging, [Don't speak] had to speak.

"If this continues, we won't be able to get the trading rights of Hailou Stone, and we won't be able to keep up with the boss."

"[Don't say], do you know——"

After hearing this, [Don't Look] came back to his senses and reached out to catch the fallen maple leaf, observed the texture on it, and said casually.

“What is the [guaranteed winning method] in gambling?”

"I don't know the sure way to win. I only know that if you don't gamble, you won't lose."

Not interested in playing riddles, [Don't Tell] directly expressed his opinion.

"That's right, then——"

Those who refuse to give up [Bukan] are persistent and good at teaching.

"Who's the only person at the gambling table who won't gamble?"

"You mean—"

[Don't speak] frowned thoughtfully.

"That's it. Things have changed now."

Seeing [Don't Tell] seemed to understand something, [Don't Look] said with a smile.

"Why should we focus on the comparison of size? How about we take the throne?"

"In this case, what will Black Carbon Orochi do? Just give up on him?"

After understanding what [Don't Look] wanted to do, [Don't Tell] asked further.

"There is no need to give up on him. As long as he still has chips, he will still be our guest."

He made the decision without thinking, [Don't look] said with regret.

"If he really wanted to see [Wano Country] burn as he said, things would be much more interesting. But unfortunately... he is just a loser."

"He will definitely keep raising the stakes, in other words-"

Following [Don't Look]'s train of thought, [Don't Tell] has already seen the fate of Black Carbon Orochi.

"It's only a matter of time before Orochi is out."

Now, [Don’t tell] just one last question.

"You want to change the way you play the game. The key lies in Tata Tot. Will he give up his biggest advantage, risk losing, and agree to participate in your bet?"

"He will, because—"

Regarding this, [Don’t Watch] is full of confidence.

"For him, it's fun to lose!"
