Teyvat's Otherworldly Adventurer

Chapter 152 The Gift of the Swordsman (Two in One)

It is hard to say that Kozuki Oden is a qualified monarch, but he does have his unique personality charm. Under the influence of Wano culture, he has gathered many capable and loyal retainers under his command.

Kin'emon's defeat did not make them succumb, and the Asura boy with a wide body and a fat body and curly pink hair jumped out on his own initiative.

He was originally a bully in Kuri, and became his retainer because he lost to Kozuki Oden. He was once known as the strongest man in Kuri, and his strength was also among the best among the many retainers of the Kozuki family.

But these are no different for Mihawk. This opponent is indeed stronger than Kin'emon, but the degree is very limited, including the way of failure.

Two consecutive defeats, especially the defeat of the powerful Asura boy, made other retainers cautious.Because of a good or bad word, Guangyue's retainers are even in danger of being wiped out in the hands of each other.

But Mihawk ridiculed Kozuki Oden after all. As a retainer, if he couldn't help the lord get back his face, he would have to commit seppuku.

At this time, Tianyue stood up in time: "You guys stop fighting."

When she stopped her like this, except for Mihawk who was still a little bit unfinished, most of the others were relieved.Even Guangyue's retainers don't like to be abused unilaterally. The mistress stepped forward to give the steps, so of course they have to hurry up.

"Three, if you can come with Yizang, it means that you are willing to help Yu Tian."

Tianyue's eyes were shining, and she bent her knees slightly, "I thank you on behalf of him here, and I also apologize for their rudeness just now. We people have stayed in Wano Country all year round, and our vision and knowledge are not as broad as yours. If you can redeem A good way to deal with the situation, I hope you can give me some advice.”

She kept her posture very low, without any aura of a daimyo wife at all, just like an ordinary little wife who worried about her husband.

As Tianyue Shi, after making this statement, only Kozuki Oden himself can change it.After all, retainers are just followers. They can advise and remind, but they can't make decisions, let alone overturn the master's decision.

"Ma'am, you're welcome,"

This step is not only for Kozuki's retainers, but Shanks also has to go down. Although he is a little disappointed with Kozuki Oden, after all, he didn't come to fight against others.

"The time to break the game has actually come!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw Wang Zang.

"How to say?"

Tianyue asked.

"You guys said before that Oden went to the city of flowers to ask Kuritan Orochi and Kaido for an explanation, but they were threatened by the people of Wano Country and accepted the bet, right?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever thought that Oden, including your existence, is a blatant threat to the Flower City. Why don't they just get rid of you, but make such a ridiculous bet?"

"Because they are not the opponents of Oden-sama, they can only use this kind of conspiracy! Damn Orochi!"

Many of Guangyue's retainers cursed angrily.

"Don't be impatient,"

Shanks pressed his palms to control the atmosphere, "You may not be very happy when I say this, but in fact, if Oden and you all fight hard against Kurotan Orochi and Kaido, there is a high probability that the final winner will not be It will be you. It is true that Kaido will not be able to deal with Oden so easily, but it does not mean that he cannot win. Relatively speaking, you are the weaker side. In addition, they have figured out Oden’s character. Bet."

He said that Oden is not as good as Kaido, so naturally he couldn't convince all the retainers, but under the suppression of Tianyue Shi, no one made a sound after all.

"So, what you have to do now is to strengthen yourself."

"How to enhance it?"

Denjiro was a little distressed, "Anyone who gets closer to us will be captured by Orochi soon. Compared with when we first came back, our power has not become stronger, but has weakened a lot."

"Since it is not enough to strengthen yourself, then weaken the enemy."

Shanks blinked, "Kaido is a pirate, and pirates never lack enemies. For example, right now, he is fighting a pirate captain who is not inferior to him at the seaside of Bell Queen."

"Yes, this is what we saw with our own eyes!"

Yizang nodded to verify the authenticity of the news, "Those two are indeed evenly matched."

"If at this time, Oden suddenly appeared with you to attack Kaido, wouldn't the chances of winning be greatly increased?" Shanks smiled slightly.

"Yes!"

"Hurry up and get Mita-sama back!"

"I'm here to gather everyone!"

As soon as they heard that the opportunity was really at hand, all the retainers were busy, jumping up and down, rushing out impatiently and making preparations.

Only Tianyueshi still had worry on her face, after all the retainers had left, she whispered: "I'm worried that Yutian will disagree."

"what?"

Shanks was stunned, "Why? Does he not want to save Wano?"

Such a good opportunity, how could anyone disagree?Was his bag kicked by a donkey? !
"Do not,"

Tianyue shook her head, with a look that you don't understand, "Because of the bet. After they made the bet, the two sides never fought again. If they took the opportunity to attack them at this time, it would be tantamount to breaking the agreement. This kind of thing..."

"Pedantism!"

"madness!"

Before Shanks could speak, Hai Xi and Mihawk had already thrown out a mocking sentence.That is to say, Tianyue's temper was submissive, and those retainers were not there, otherwise they would have to draw their swords again.

"So what does Madam mean?" Shanks gave the two friends a gesture of calm down.

Tianyue bit her lower lip, hesitated for two seconds, and begged: "I hope you can help me persuade him. If he disagrees, we will..."

She obviously understood her husband's stubborn character. Many people opposed the bet at the beginning, but he insisted on accepting it.

Now how do you know that the same mistakes will not be repeated?
"I'm afraid you think highly of us."

Shanks shook his head dumbfounded, "The fate of Wano country should be decided by the people of Wano country in the final analysis. As the person who is most qualified to decide the future fate of Wano country, it is up to him to make the final decision." Decisions in line with one's own wishes, presumably everyone in Wano Country can have no complaints and no regrets. We outsiders should not interfere too much. Otherwise, what is the difference between us and Kaido? Do you hope that in Wano Country in the future, the generals are just puppets, and Hai Is the thief the master?"

"I didn't mean that, but..."

Tianyue shook her head anxiously, she was really afraid that her husband would mess up again at such a critical moment!

That guy usually acts heroic, bold and full of charm, but when it comes to critical decision-making moments, he always loses the chain.

When I left the Whitebeard Pirates, I made an agreement with Whitebeard to come back in a year.In the end, I followed Roger to Ralph Drew, and only the idea of ​​"the correct founding time is 20 years later" was left in my mind, and I didn't even have time to say hello to Whitebeard. He rushed back to Wano Country.

If not, why didn't they dare to ask Whitebeard for help?

I have already missed Whitebeard, if I miss this time again, do I really have to pin all my hopes on the illusory 20 years later?
Can Kaido and Kurotan Orochi tolerate them staying here for 20 years?
Just when Tianyueshi's mind was in a mess, Yutian finally came back.

The retainers on the way had briefly described the situation to him, so he called everyone together as soon as he returned.

"Because of the agreement I made with them, the people of Wano Country can be protected from harm during this time."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Haixi knew that this guy was still performing steadily as before and was hopeless.

"If we take the initiative to break the agreement, the people of Wano Country will inevitably be slaughtered, how can I bear it?!"

"But Your Highness, Heitan Orochi and Kaido are not trustworthy at all, and they will break the agreement sooner or later!" Someone dissuaded him from below.

"Your guess may be fine, because they are pirates and usurpers."

Oden actually nodded in agreement with these words, "But we are not. The Kozuki family has always relied on virtue to govern Wano Country. It is not what we should do to be the first to break the contract."

Next, no matter how much the retainers tried to persuade, Kozuki Oden would not let go.He admits that Kaido and Heitan Orochi are untrustworthy, and there may be a conspiracy behind them, but he is unwilling to take the initiative to break the contract and break the situation.

"……interesting."

At the meeting of Guangyue's family, the three of Haixi didn't get too close.

Hearing the heated debate over there at this moment, Hai Xi sneered: "Could it be that Kozuki Oden is hoping that Kaido and the others can abide by the agreement for 20 years, and let him just wait for the so-called opportunity to found the country?"

"This……"

Shanks and Mihawk were taken aback, they thought it was funny at first, but after carefully analyzing what Kozuki Oden said, they felt that it seemed to be the truth.

He clearly knew the threat from Kaido and Orochi, but he would rather maintain the status quo and do nothing.Kaido and Kurotan Orochi are waiting for his prestige to be exhausted step by step, waiting for ordinary people in Wano to reject Oden, and then everything in the Kozuki family.But what is he waiting for?

Could it be that we are waiting for Kaido and Heitan Orochi to fight each other?Or wait for the meteorite to kill those two guys?
These are obviously unreliable!
So after excluding all other options, the remaining one can only be the only answer.

"He's not fit to hold a sword!"

Mihawk's tone became more and more disdainful.

After walking with Haixi for so long, he could hear some words about swordsmanship and swordsmanship from Haixi from time to time.For example, "the sword is with the person", "the swordsman would rather bend than bend", "one sword breaks all laws", "there is no trick" and so on.

He may not be able to understand it thoroughly, but he feels that these words have a certain truth, and he often ponders them when practicing swords.

Now Kozuki Oden, who is content with the status quo and retreating every step of the way, seems to him to have insulted the profession of swordsman. I heard that guy is still a great swordsman with two swords...

Letting such a person spread the name of a swordsman to the sea will undoubtedly ruin countless swordsmen who follow suit.

"It's better to let me kill him."

His sudden words almost flashed Hexi and Shanks' waists.

"What, what did you say?!"

Shanks had a dazed expression on his face.

"I say,"

Mihawk lowered his voice and said seriously, "Maybe Kozuki Oden was a good swordsman when he was on Whitebeard and Roger's boat. But now, he is no longer worthy of this title. Instead of making him useless in the future If Nangdi died at the hands of Kaido or even Heitan Orochi, it would be better for me to do it. With the gift of a swordsman, give him a not so bad ending."

He spoke very seriously, apparently really thinking about the feasibility of this matter, which gave Shanks a headache.

And these words also touched Hai Xi.

I have to admit that if some people's lives come to an abrupt end halfway, their reputation will immediately improve a lot.

"Actually, if this time was put two years ago, when the Roger Pirates had just disbanded, it would be perfect."

Haixi's sigh made Shanks turn back in horror, "You don't want to do the same, do you?"

He really convinced his two friends, who are these people? !

"Me? Of course not."

Haixi smiled, "Mihawk planned to help a great swordsman because he didn't want to witness his depravity. I don't have such good intentions. Will Kozuki Oden die as a hero, or become a laughing stock and leave a legacy forever? , I don't even care."

"Thank you so much."

Shanks said dejectedly, "Mihawk's kindness is really unbearable for ordinary people. I really am not a qualified swordsman!"

He sighed.

"It doesn't matter, it's good to not be a swordsman."

Haixi said with a smile, "In this way, if one day in the future, you also fall, you don't have to be afraid that other swordsmen will give you a decent swordsman's gift like Mihawk."

"Bah, bah, bah! How could I fall?"

Shanks lifted the straw hat on his head, "At least not until Captain Roger's dream is fulfilled. By the way, Mihawk, Oden is very powerful. Although he can't beat the captain and Mr. Rayleigh, but..."

He suddenly discovered a blind spot. Although Mihawk wanted to give Kozuki Oden a gift of a swordsman with good intentions, Kozuki Oden was dedicated to founding the country. In order to wait for the opportunity safely, he even had the heart of a samurai Put it on hold for the time being and endure the humiliation.

Can Mihawk beat such a guy?

"I know that he used to be a real great swordsman, but I haven't stepped into that realm yet."

Mihawk's voice was flat, "But this battle is my opportunity. After today, the number of great swordsmen in this world will not change."

"..."

Shanks was dumbfounded, "Now I don't believe that you are really kind. You just want to step on him to break through the barrier of the great swordsman? Forget it, let me help you. Maybe you can pass this How about reawakening Oden's swordsman's heart?"

He is also a very decisive person. I don’t know how long the confrontation between Kaido and Moria will last. In case Mihawk finally awakens Oden’s courage, but misses the best time to make a move, then it will be Too bad.

"Go, we will help you create opportunities."

hula-

The bitter cold wind blew open the doors of the daimyo's mansion one by one, and the domineering aura as mighty as the might of the sky smashed down on his head.

Mihawk dragged the knife with one hand, stepped into the hall, and stared straight at Kozuki Oden with eagle-like eyes.

Without further ado, he raised the knife with one hand and pointed forward!
"Come to fight!"
