Pirate: Reincarnated as a Black Charcoal Orochi

Autumn passes and winter comes, and spring returns to the earth.

The citizens of the Flower City who only appeared less than six months ago are still walking around.

I have become accustomed to the rusty red iron-covered clouds in the sky.

Most of the residents of Shitamachi have to consider saving their energy to live.

Although it is the noon hour that no one can tell, the flower capital used to be full of flowers and bustling with people.

Now it has been reduced to a ghost town.

Only the huge construction site near the sacred cherry tree was a little lively.

In the past six months, harvests from what used to be the most important grain-producing areas have been lost.

The Flower Capital can only survive by relying on the rations saved by each township and intermittent support for the capital.

Originally, if we could use the food stored during the harvests of previous years, we wouldn't be so nervous.

However, due to the "business-rich country" policy vigorously promoted by the then acting general Orochi the year before last.

A unhealthy trend of mass production, mass consumption, and waste of food has been set off in every township.

Even the grain stored in the largest Tokachi warehouse in the country was [-]%, and was lent out by unscrupulous officials with IOUs, and sold at low prices to breweries in various places to brew wine and make a lot of money.

I originally thought that I could withhold part of the grain harvested in the future and deposit it in batches.

Anyway, the country of Wano has been doing well in recent years, and a large village like Jiuri has been added.Not surprisingly, it will be paid back soon.

It's just unfortunate that something happened.

When the country is in crisis, it is the time when all kinds of proverbs, superstitions and gods and witches are active.

It is said that when a country is about to perish, there must be monsters. In the country of Japan, which believes that "everything has animism, there are seven gods on a grain of rice."

When people encounter something that is difficult to understand, they are more accustomed to blaming it on stories about Shura gods and Buddhas.

"Have you heard that the Palace Secretary of the Taiping Shrine said that the dark clouds over the capital are caused by evil spirits?"

“I’ve heard that the miko-sama of the Isuzu River also said that the dark clouds were caused by evil spirits.

She said that these were the souls of the Heitan family who were massacred by the General in the past.

They gathered together to form a snake god with a body as big as eight valleys.

After seeing what the general had done, he was extremely resentful, so he summoned dark clouds to cover the capital.

The ghost lantern disease that started to spread before was also caused by this snake god. "

"Really? But I heard that it was the general's incompetence that summoned God's punishment."

"Hey! Is it possible for a guy like you to say this?"

In today's Shitamachi, most of the people who have the energy to discuss these matters are working samurai.

No matter how bad he is, he is still a merchant with plenty of food at home.

Real common people no longer have the strength to draw water from the well.

And because the Tiegaiyun has absorbed all the rain in the past six months, the water levels in all wells in the capital have dropped by more than half.

It also became more difficult to get water from the wells.

The impact of Tiegaiyun doesn't stop there.

The decrease in rainfall has caused all the rivers originating from the mountains surrounding the Flower City to dry up.

Without water sources, the fresh water flow of the large rivers surrounding Wano Country is no longer enough to resist the backflow of salt water from the sea into the rivers.

The fertile fields on both sides of the river are now soaked by the salt water from the bursting of the banks.

If the iron clouds hadn't also blocked the sunlight and absorbed the temperature, the seawater would have been heated and evaporated.

The land on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will definitely be covered with a thick layer of salt-alkali ash crust.

But even if the situation is so dangerous, most of the farmers in the Flower City are too hungry to muster the strength to uproot the salty water-soaked ground and repair the broken embankments.

And beneath the gloomy Flower City, deep in the deepest part of Zuowu City is hidden among the sacred cherry trees, among the black coals.

This place has been completely covered with overflowing tea soup.

The environment of the Flower City was simply unsuitable for Hyakki's teapot. He was starving and cold but could barely maintain his life.

Weird stories are rampant, and most of them are true.

Since two months ago, the tea cauldron has been constantly overflowing with fresh Overlord's tea like a fountain.

Seeing it just spread out of the table and flowed to the ground.

Over time, when the big snake opened its eyes again, the black coals were covered with the Tea of ​​the Overlord.

His body, curled up under the high platform, had been bathing in tea for a long time.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the time between Orochi's two awakenings is getting shorter and shorter.

After drinking the Tyrant's Tea many times, Orochi can vaguely feel it.

In the struggle and panic of the people in the capital, the unprecedented power of fear truly condensed.

It is a longing for the past and uneasiness about the future.

The two are intertwined and eventually become a fear of today's life.

People in this country are really slowly losing their courage to face life.

After realizing this, inexplicable changes occurred in the snake's body.

After receiving the animal type, snake fruit, phantom beast species, and Yamata no Orochi form given by Heitan Muchan, Orochi discovered that the tea of ​​the Overlord brewed from "Hundred Demons' Tea Cauldron" can enhance the abilities of those who are completely animals. Ability parameters in the transformed form.

Now it seems that the complete animal form, or more accurately, the complete animal form of the animal type phantom beast type ability is regarded as part of the legend, that is, the origin of monsters.

In the story "The Grandson of the Slippery Ghost", the treasure "Hakuki's Tea Cauldron" is believed to come from hell.

Able to collect people's fears and brew the miraculous Overlord's Tea.

For human beings, the Overlord's Tea will make people taste the feeling that the Overlord is respected by others and that they are not cold at high places.

It has a strong stimulation to the brain that far exceeds all similar substances.

For monsters, the Tea of ​​the Overlord itself can be regarded as the prototype of monsters and the embodiment of human fear.

Under the influence of simple rituals, it is easy to gain life as a new monster.

Drinking it will naturally strengthen your own strength.

But in this world dominated by the sea, there is no basis for monsters to be born.

But Orochi unexpectedly discovered that the "Hyakki's Tea Cauldron" he had won from the wealthy businessman Yamamoto Gorozaemon in the spirit of coming has been able to operate normally.

After carefully dipping part of the tea soup, Orochi, who had not yet become an esper at that time, only discovered the strong addictive nature of tea soup for humans, and planned to treasure it as some kind of treasure for humans.

Until Orochi tentatively wanted to verify the difference between phantom beasts and monsters.

I accidentally discovered the reinforcing effect of Tyrant's Tea on those with phantom beast ability, and I have been drinking it to this day.

But now bathing in the tea soup, Orochi once again feels the same pleasure as when he obtained gourmet cells and ate ingredients suitable for him to break the barriers of gourmet cells.

In its completely animal form, the size of the serpent is constantly expanding, but the originally slightly bloated head-to-body ratio is becoming narrow and lean.

The senses of the eight dragon-like heads became clearer and clearer, and one could even feel the flames burning fiercely in their belly.

He exhaled tentatively, and a rusty red flame burst out from the corner of his mouth.

'In Japan in the previous life, the legend of Yamata no Orochi was also spread.

It is said that the origin of the Yamata-no-Orochi legend is the mystification of the "iron-making culture" of ancient Japan.

The Yamata-no-Orochi may be a metaphor for the iron mine. The bleeding appearance of the snake's abdomen is the appearance of iron sand entering the river water and making it turbid.

Suzhan Mingzun defeated the big snake and took out the Tiancongyun sword from its tail, which was much harder than the bronze Ten Fist sword.

It's a weapon made of steel.

Judging from the fact that I have now awakened the ability to breathe fire, this statement is indeed credible.

The flame in the belly of the big snake is the symbol of the smelting industry.

It seems that fire is the easiest supernatural power to obtain in this world.I really don’t even eat Shao Shao fruit. '

After completing further assimilation with the Devil Fruit, Orochi stood up while maintaining his completely animal form.

The tea soup gathered in the ravines all over the body flows down from it, making a huge sound.

"Guhehehe, Mr. Fu Lu Shou, how is the situation outside? There is nothing unexpected, right?"

"...Yes, it's all as you expected."

Fu Lu Shou, who was wearing a protective suit made of white wax, answered fluently. After all, in the current black charcoal room, the evaporating tea of ​​the Overlord can make people excited and crazy just through skin contact.

Among the shogunate, only Fu Lushou and Heitan Chanmaru could briefly enter this space through the protection of their abilities.

I fully understood that in order to maintain Tian Congyun, I actively chose to enter a semi-sleep state for six months.

All kinds of trivial things happening in Wano Country.

The big snake couldn't help but open its eight bloody mouths, revealing the forked snake letter and hissing smile:

"Guhehehe, very good, very good, only a land of hardship and hardship can give birth to a persevering heart of faith.

Since the Kozuki family can rule everything in Wano from secular life, in order to completely eradicate Kozuki's legacy.

We must take root in our faith and use divine religion to defeat the shogunate system created by the Kozuki family.

The only way for the future of the country of Wano is the divine right to rule.

To this day, I am not Yamata no Orochi.My name is Hatama Toro Chimei, Ibuki Daimyojin! "
