From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 99: The Bleeding General's Mansion
The Land of Wano, the Capital of Flowers, the Shogun’s Mansion.

"Shhhh..."

Just after killing the ninjas and samurai at the entrance, ninjas appeared again.

"Similar to the instant body-flickering technique?"

More than a dozen shurikens came at Kevin, but they also missed their targets after being nailed into the floor.

"Where have you gone?"

"Intruder, where is Lord Fu Lu Shou?"

"where?"

……

Amidst the surprise, Kevin appeared behind them.

"Are you looking for me?"

The moment the words fell, six heads rose in the air.

Kevin also sheathed his sword: "I haven't attended sword fighting class for two days, so I can only use the simplest method, beheading."

This scene left Oden, who was following behind, stunned.

He was so decisive that every swing of the sword was intended to take the enemy's life. The method of beheading made this courtyard like hell.

"What are you thinking?"

Kevin in front of him didn't even turn his head: "Do you think we are playing a game of house? If you are injured but not killed, then maybe the ones who will die later because of this difference are your retainers and subordinates who entrusted their lives to you."

"For a decision maker, hesitating when necessary is a big taboo, and it will also cause the people who follow you to lose their lives."

As soon as he finished speaking, three warriors reappeared, landing in the position of kunai.

In just a moment, the neck was cut off and the air entered the throat. The three people collapsed to the ground, holding their necks, but could not make any sound.

"You should know which house Kurozumi Orochi is in, right? Lead the way."

Kevin glanced behind him, and Oden hurried forward when he heard it, and the two of them went straight to Orochi's residence.

……

At the same time, Kurozumi Orochi, who had just been helped by the maids to wash and change clothes, was preparing to start a lunch game with the most beautiful courtesan in the Flower Capital.

Listen to music and drink.

As the sound of playing began, the black charcoal snake twisted its fat body and swung a folding fan left and right.

Beside him, the eyes of the women were full of flattery.

Since becoming the general of Wano Country five years ago, weapons factories have been built in Wano Country, and towering chimneys have appeared all over the Rabbit Well.

The men were forced to work, and the meager wages they were given were barely enough to make a living, and anyone who dared to resist was killed on the spot.

But even so, Orochi and Kaido were not satisfied. The five-year agreement was to maintain the status quo at that time. After five years, they wanted more weapons factories to be built in Wano Country.

And the salary?
As the general's subjects, isn't it my duty to work until I die?

How can I ask for salary?
The big snake stopped twisting and looked at the courtesan in front of it with lustful eyes.

It will be soon. As long as Kaido is ready, he will be able to have a showdown with that fool Oden.

Then the furious fool prince will gather those who still trust him, and Kanjuro, the mission he created, will pass on the information, and then the Beasts Pirates will ambush and catch them all in one fell swoop!
The Kozuki clan will be completely annihilated.

Before that, the daimyos from various regions and the gangster boss Huazhibao Goro from Huadu need to be dealt with in advance.

Soon, the day of complete revenge will come!

"boom!"

The door of the room was kicked open and two figures walked straight in.

After seeing who was coming, Da She lost his grip on the wine bowl and it fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

"O…Oden?!"

He was so frightened and panic-stricken that his nose was running. He kicked his legs wildly and finally found his way to the wall behind him.

"How dare you break into the Shogun's mansion? Oden, you are not going to fulfill your promise, are you? How dare someone like you break your promise?"

There was fear in the voice, so he didn't notice that the black space coordinates slid from the ground and fell on him.

Oden also walked forward, pointing his blood-stained sword directly at Kurozumi Orochi.

"You didn't intend to keep your promise, did you? Kaido was gathering his forces, and you didn't intend to keep your promise from the beginning, did you?"

At this time, the Biwa wizard Kurozumi Chanmaru, who had been protecting him for five years, appeared behind the screen. He crossed his index and middle fingers, and a barrier appeared in front of the two of them.

In Kurozumi Orochi's heart, this barrier has been tested.

Five years ago, Kozuki Oden returned from overseas and went straight from Kuri to the Shogun's Mansion in the Flower Capital, but neither Yanma nor Ame no Habakiri could break through this barrier.

Then that kind of obscene smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and wiped his nose with his arm, and looked at the women behind Oden who were huddled together in fear.

"Go on! Keep playing and dancing, don't mind!"

The oiran looked at Oden timidly, fearing the power that Orochi had always held. In the end, the women started playing again with trembling hands.

Orochi looked at Oden proudly and poured himself another bowl of wine: "Oden, as long as you don't break the agreement, I will naturally abide by my promise."

"Kaido is just a pirate. He will leave when he gets what he wants, and I will leave here too. Go back to your Kuri, Oden!"

Kevin, who still had Kin'emon's face, stood behind Oden and saw that Oden looked hesitant from the side.

So just like what Kaido said in the memory, people like Oden, Whitebeard and Roger, although powerful, can still be stupid and naive.

Flame Disaster Jin and Plague Disaster Queen have already gathered on Onigashima. Are the Beasts Pirates gathering their strength to hold a banquet?

"Are you...really going to leave?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a splash of blood splattered out.

"Ah!!! My hand!"

Kurozumi Chanmaru wailed, his hands fell to the ground from the wrists, the barrier disappeared, and blood splattered everywhere.

Kevin, who appeared beside the snake in an instant, swung his knife to avoid the blood and then appeared behind the snake, with the long knife across its neck.

The sudden change made the whole room quiet. The women who were playing tremblingly dropped their instruments and hid in the corner, not daring to look up.

"Nin... Kin'emon? How is that possible?!"

The screaming snake's voice had already broken.

And Oden looked at Kevin in astonishment: "Wait!"

Kevin smiled and said, "I know. After all, you still have some questions to ask. And don't worry, I won't give you any hints."

The conversation between the two was nothing like a conversation between a retainer and his lord. Orochi kept turning his head to look at the two of them. He had already lost the guarantee of his life, and now he just wanted to save his life.

"You...you can't kill me!"

"I have formed an alliance with Kaido. If you kill me, the Beasts Pirates will not let Wano Country go!"

"Oden! Oden, tell Kin'emon to stop, quickly!"

"Do you want Wano Country to be destroyed?!"

"Oden!"

At this moment, Kurozumi Chanmaru, who had lost both hands and was unable to perform special movements, rolled over and wailed, his blood staining the floor red, but no one cared about him.

Kevin was a little noisy, so he was sent to jail with a kunai.

The sin value is naturally pitifully small compared to that of the Celestial Dragons, but a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat.

At this time, Oden said: "Orochi... who is the undercover agent you placed beside me?"

Kevin raised his head.

This time the idiot seemed to be a little smarter and did not directly ask Kanjuro if he was the hidden traitor.

At the same time, Kevin's words also made Orochi stunned for a moment, and Kanjuro instantly thought of his mind.

"Swish." A cold light flashed behind him, and one of the ears of the Black Charcoal Snake fell to the ground.

"what!!"

The screaming snake was wailing and trying to roll over to resist the pain, but the cold blade was pressed against his ear.

For a moment, the big snake endured the pain, and sweat covered its forehead.

"You just need to answer the questions. If you think too much, you will think about how to cheat."

"You only have two seconds to answer each question. If you exceed the time limit, I will cut off your left ear this time. In two more seconds, I will cut off one of your fingers, and after ten fingers, it will be your toes, then your wrists, ankles, and limbs..."

After saying that, Kevin looked at Oden and said, "Start over."

Oden took a deep breath and looked back at Orochi: "Who is the undercover agent you placed beside me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin's count from hell began.

"One, two."

"Shh!"

The other ear of the snake was cut off and fell to the ground.

“It hurts!!”

"One, two."

"Shh."

A finger was cut off by a flying kunai nail on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the demon's counting did not stop.

"one……"

"It's Kanjuro! Kanjuro!"

Oden's eyes suddenly widened, and he clenched the Ame-no-Habesaki in his hand tightly and pushed it out.

"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you immediately!"

The big snake collapsed to the ground, panting.

It's not that he doesn't have any abilities. He has the Animal-Type Devil Fruit's Mythical Beast-type Yamata-no-Orochi form. In this form, at least he will have a few more lives.

But will a few lives be of any use to the two killers in front of them?

After Kurozumi Chanmaru's barrier was broken, he didn't even dare to face Oden, let alone Kin'emon who could pass through the barrier.

"I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything!"

Both of its ears were cut off, and the black charcoal snake's face was covered in blood. The hand with the missing fingers was in unbearable pain, and sweat covered its forehead.

"One...two."

"I said it!"

"Shh!"

Another finger fell, and Kevin still kept the blade against the side of Kurozumi Orochi's face, and continued to count the seconds in his mouth.

However, this time, before Kevin could finish his words, the Black Charcoal Snake exploded like falling beans.

"Kurozumi Kanjuro, his parents were members of the Wano Country performance troupe, and were implicated and killed by the Kozuki clan when they were cleaning up the rebellion."

"A long time ago, I arranged for him to go to Jiuli, to attract your attention with a small matter like stealing hair, and finally become your retainer, waiting for your trust."

"Kanjuro was born an actor. He would really immerse himself in the role he was supposed to play, and no one would be able to detect his abnormality."

……

Oden's face looked very ugly at this time.

Although I have been prepared since yesterday, now that I know the details, I feel more and more stupid.

If Kanjuro is confirmed to be an undercover agent, then it also means that from the very beginning, the other party had no intention of leaving Wano Country.

"So you never intended to keep the agreement you made five years ago, right?"

"When the time comes, you will completely rule the country of Wano, right?"

This question made Kurozumi Orochi stiffen for a moment, and he kept thinking about how to answer.

It can be acknowledged that Kanjuro was an undercover agent. Since Oden has already asked about it, he must have had some suspicions. This chess piece is already ruined.

But admit that you will break your word and turn against me when the time comes?
He doesn't dare!
Because he knew very well that Kaido was the key to his survival. As long as the other party still had some concerns, he would be able to survive, even as a prisoner, he could still find a way.

"one……"

Kin'emon, the evil ghost!
Kurozumi Orochi did not dare to hesitate, and smiled at Oden while enduring the pain: "How could it be? Kaido is a great pirate from the outer seas. How could a strong man like that not abide by his promise?"

"Kaido is a pirate. He has no intention of governing a country. It's just that Wano Country has the mineral resources he needs. After plundering them, he will naturally leave."

"Oden. You should have felt how powerful Kaido is. If you break your promise, then Kaido will be angry and destroy the entire Wano Country!"

"How many people will die at that time? As a member of the Kozuki family, you have been the general of this country for many years. The subjects died in the war, and the entire Wano country was plunged into war. Is this what you want to see?"

Oden's brows were furrowed.

The black charcoal snake spoke faster and faster, and gradually a look of joy appeared on his face.

He thought he could survive.

"Think about it, if you kill me now, then the upcoming date of appointment will be invalidated."

"Five years! You've been dancing that kind of dance for almost five years. Do you really want to give up now?"

"For a life as insignificant and lowly as mine, the entire Wano Country has been plunged into war. Once Wano Country is defeated, everyone will become slaves of the Beasts Pirates, and everyone will work until death in the Rabbit Well's mines..."

"Oden...is it really worth it?"

"As long as we wait until the agreed time comes, I can promise! I promise to withdraw from Wano Country with Kaido!"

The bewitching voice continued to sound, and Oden's face became worse and worse.

He would follow Kurozumi Orochi's words and associate them with the scenes of Wano Country falling into war, which would flash through his mind one by one.

"So you are really good at talking. You have been using this mouth to deceive people since you were a child in the Shimotsuki Yasushi family's mansion."

Kevin raised his long knife.

Kurozumi Orochi trembled: "Kinemon! Your lord hasn't even spoken yet, you can't kill me!"

The next moment, the form of Yamata no Orochi appeared.

He is afraid of death, and he can die several times in this form.

however……

"boom!"

The powerful domineering aura suddenly burst out, and then shrank into a shallow attack.

Fu Zhan!

At an extremely fast speed, a cold light flashed across the neck of the Yamata no Orochi.

The moment Kevin landed, eight heads had already fallen to the ground.

Under the observation, a shivering figure was still behind the screen.

"You have been hiding behind from the beginning, and Orochi has no intention of exposing you. The ability of the Imitation Fruit, is this the revenge he wants to leave for the Kozuki family?"

"Shh!"

The long sword swung and the screen was split into two.

In the corner, a figure was shivering with his head down.

……
