Pirates: Knowledge is power

After hearing Kinemon's self-reproaching words, Kozuki Oden's first reaction was that something had happened to them, and it was something that the retainers could not solve.

Knowing the anxiety of the matter, Kozuki Oden immediately asked Kinemon for details.

"Lord Shintoki, Lord Momonosuke, and Lord Hiyori, they... they..."

Kinemon cried bitterly and choked up when he finished speaking, as if there was something he couldn't say.

"Let me tell you, Oden-sama."

When Kinemon was crying until he was speechless, Denjiro came over from the side.

Unlike Kin'emon who was crying and crying, Denjiro's face was more ugly, but he was not as glum as Kin'emon.

Denjiro lowered his head and said with a haggard expression:

"Lord Oden, the thing is like this. One month ago, Lord Oden, when you finished printing the historical text and left Wano Country to complete the last part of your journey.

We took Lord Xinshi back to Daming Mansion in Jiuli. Soon after, Lord General sent someone over, saying that he wanted to see his daughter-in-law and grandchildren.

Because they were sent by the General, we didn't have much suspicion.

Lord Xinshi had no objection. She also wanted to see Lord General, so when Lord Xinshi went to the Capital of Flowers, only Aju and Shutenmaru served as escorts and went to the General's Mansion together. "

“The news that came back on the first day was that the General was so happy to see his grandchildren that he let them stay in the General’s Mansion.

We didn't have too much suspicion, we really thought that the General was too happy and allowed Lord Xinshi and the others to stay in the Flower Capital for a while longer.

The rest of us are still carrying out the tasks assigned to us by Oden-sama before leaving, and are trying to find out what happened in Wano Country in the years since we left. "

"But..." Denjiro bit his lip so hard that it drew blood.

“As we investigated, something came to light.

After Oden-sama left Wano, the shogun's temperament changed drastically and many special laws were introduced.

Not only has the whole country of Wano been in dire straits, especially around the Flower Capital, it is said that there are no more men there, even other areas are not spared, and they are living in dire straits. "

"We sensed something was wrong, so we asked Lei Zang to go to the Flower Capital to try to bring back Mr. Xinshi and the two young masters."

"But Raizo didn't come back in the end. Only Aju escaped from the Flower Capital with bruises all over his body and brought us a shocking news."

Denjiro raised his head with eyes wide open and said with Kozuki Oden looking nervous:

"Aju brought back the news that when they went to see the general, on the first day, the general was indeed very happy, and he even hugged Hiyori and held him up happily.

But the next day, the general's attitude suddenly changed, and even the gentleness he originally looked at them turned into a ferocious one.

Listening to Aju's description, he said that the general looked ugly at that time, pointed at Lord Xinshi, and said that Lord Xinshi was the bloodline of the original rebels and the descendant of sinners.

Mr. Xinshi married Mr. Oden also to prepare for the Kingdom of Wano, saying that Mr. Xinshi is a devil!

The general did not listen to everyone's explanation at all, and ordered that Lord Xinshi be arrested and imprisoned.

In order to prevent Master Xinshi from being harmed, Jiutianmaru and Aju fought hard.

But in the end, Lord Xinshi was caught, Jiutianmaru was killed, and even Aju was seriously injured and put in prison!

Not only that, the General will publicly execute Lord Xinshi and the two young masters in three days!

Because Lei Zang knew about this, he lurked into the prison and tried to rescue Master Xinshi and the young master.

But Raizo was discovered after he only found Aju. Raizo also used himself as a bait to lure away all the pursuers because he covered Aju's return and passed the news to us. Now Raizo has been caught and imprisoned. ! "

After hearing Denjiro's description, Kozuki Oden's eyes widened.

He grabbed Denjiro's shoulders, shook him crazily and said:

"Impossible, impossible. Xin Shi will never assassinate his father. There must be some misunderstanding."

Kozuki Oden obviously did not believe that his wife would assassinate his father.

When they first met, Xin Shi didn't even know about the country of Wano. How could she assassinate her father if she didn't even know about the country of Wano?

"Master Oden, we don't believe it either, but we are so soft-spoken that we really can't persuade the general, so we asked the daimyo from other places for help, but in the end we got helpless answers from other daimyo."

"They also told us that anyone with the surname Heitan is a member of the Heitan clan who was the original rebel. They approached Lord Oden because they must be preparing to seize Wano Country."

"This is impossible, this is impossible. I will personally plead with my father. Xin Toki will be fine." Kozuki Oden obviously did not believe that Heitan Xin Toki had an impure purpose in approaching him.

After some thinking, the only thing Kozuki Oden could think of was that he went to the Flower Capital in person to explain everything to his father.

He doesn't care what kind of rebel bloodline Hei Tan Xinshi is, after all, that happened so many years ago, he doesn't care.

He only knew that Kurotan Shintoki was his wife, the wife who gave birth to Momonosuke and Hiyori.

If he, Kozuki Oden, can't even protect his wife, then what kind of man is he?

After saying that, Kozuki Oden anxiously headed to the Flower Capital without even entering his own mansion.

Seeing that Mitsuki Oden was about to leave, Denjiro also said: "Oden-sama, please wait for us, we will go together."

……

Not long after, Kozuki Oden appeared in the Flower Capital with his retainers, and even Aju, who was still injured, followed.

Kozuki Oden looked up at the bustling streets of the Flower City and was very surprised.

The Flower City is brightly lit, and the lights hanging on the streets are electric lights that he can only see in some technologically advanced countries on the sea.

He was also surprised when these electric lamps were brought to Wano.

Isn’t Wano Country closed to the outside world? Why do these overseas things appear in Wano Country!

The Flower Capital now is completely different from the Flower Capital before he left Wano Country.

Although there were people walking on the street, when they saw Kozuki Oden and his retainers, they all avoided him.

After walking most of the Flower City, Kozuki Oden finally realized something was wrong.
