Pirates: Silver King

   Chapter 263 Knowing the truth

   "Is this the country of Wano?"

   Seeing this scene in front of him, Shirakawa can be said to be angry. Before, Oden once told Shirakawa that Wano country is a very beautiful country.

  The people here live very well.

   But what caught Bai Chuan's eyes now was the appearance of a piece of clothing that had been patched up several times. Seeing their skinny appearance, it seemed that they couldn't even get enough food and clothing.

   And the arrival of Shirakawa naturally attracted the attention of these aboriginal residents. From the clothes they were wearing, they knew that they were not from Wano.

   Not to mention, there were several giant warriors behind them.

   In the distance, Shirakawa saw the weapons factories that could be seen everywhere, and the billowing smoke billowing from the big chimneys.

   And the residents here did not dare to speak when they saw Bai Chuan, their eyes showed timidity, because they had already regarded Bai Chuan and the others as Kaido's group.

   "It's really miserable."

  Jorah said sadly, now that a country can have such people who are unable to provide food and clothing, it is because the country may be in war.

   At this time, there was no war in Wano Kingdom, but the residents seemed to be suffering more than the war.

   "Captain, it is said that the area where we are now is the poorest city in Wano country. Other places are more or less better than this place. Maybe the name here was once Kozuki Oden."

  Doralang said something to Shirakawa.

"yes?"

   At this time, Bai Chuan's hatred for Kaido was even higher.

   "Who are you?"

   At this time, a person suddenly ran out and asked him, and seeing that his age seemed to be a child of seven or eight years old, or only a person of this age, they did not know what fear was.

   "Come back, Kuro."

   At this time, a lady shouted anxiously beside the child, and wanted to drag him into her arms. He was afraid that his child would be in danger.

   "We are friends of Kozuki Oden."

   "Oda-sama's friend?"

   All the residents who heard this were stunned.

   "Do you have any evidence to prove that you are Oden-sama's friend?"

   At this moment, an older man came out and asked. He looked into Bai Chuan's eyes carefully, as if he wanted to break this lie.

   "I don't have any evidence, but I used to be partners on a boat with Oden."

   But looking at the performance of their group, Bai Chuan is also a bit strange. According to Dolarang, it is strange that this group of people should be full of hatred and anger towards Oden.

   But looking at their expressions now, they are completely different.

   Bai Chuan glanced at Doralang, who shrugged, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

   "Really? Are you here to find Lord Oden, but it's a pity that Lord Oden was executed by Kaido a year ago."

   said that at this time, the old man's tone was full of sadness, and even the eyes of some of the crowd around him were shedding tears.

   "I know, so I'm here to avenge Oden this time."

   "What? Hurry up, you won't be Kaido's opponent."

   As soon as he heard the revenge, the old man said in a panic, and then looked around, for fear that someone would hear what Bai Chuan had just said.

"Don't worry, we have to be very strong, but I have a little doubt. According to what my companions have heard, you should be very angry with Otian, but, looking at your performance just now, it is clear that you are full of Otian. respect."

   "Alas, we missed His Highness Oda."

When    said this, the old man shook his head helplessly.

   "Can you tell me?"

   Bai Chuan asked with a frown, feeling that things were not as simple as he thought.

   "Of course, it's no secret.

  At that time, after Lord Oden came back, we wanted to kill the black charcoal Orochi and challenge Kaido. We were all very happy, thinking that we could finally end this dark rule, but I didn’t expect Lord Oden to jump up because of revenge.

   Since then, we have been full of disappointment with Oden-sama. Even those of us who were residents of Oden gradually became disappointed with Oden over time and called him Your Highness Fool. "

"Um."

   Bai Chuan nodded and motioned for the old man to continue. What he just told was similar to what Duolalang told.

"But we didn't know the truth until Oden was executed. It turned out that the Black Charcoal Orochi and Kaido joined forces to take many hostages. As long as Oden-sama dances once a week, 100 people will be released, and they promise to build it together in five years. Ship and let everyone leave Wano country together.

But this is just a lie to tell Oden-sama not to go to war with them. They are afraid of Oden-sama's strength and his prestige in Wano. We are sorry for Oden-sama. If we had always believed him at the time, it might not have been the result. . "

  The old man said remorsefully, and the tears gradually flowed down and fell to the ground.

   "But fortunately, Oden-sama has given us hope, saying that someone will break this dark rule in 20 years and lead the founding of Wano Kingdom. We have been waiting for this day."

   "I didn't expect Kaido to use such despicable means."

   Hearing his description, Jorah said angrily, using hostages as a threat, this has lost his demeanor as a strong man, Kaido is not worthy of being a strong man on the sea at all.

   "Don't wait twenty years, we are here to rescue you.

  Oden used to be kind to me, so I can't just watch his citizens live in dire straits. "

   Originally, Bai Chuan planned to clean up Kaido this time, and then 20 years later, after the arrival of the nine people in the prophecy, he would expel Kaido.

   But now Shirakawa has changed his mind, he wants to expel Kaido immediately and turn Wano Country into his own territory.

   "Can I take the liberty to ask? What relationship do you have with us Oden-sama?"

   At this moment, the old man said again, but Bai Chuan could feel that he was a little nervous, and he was afraid of hearing the answer he didn't want to hear.

   "My relationship with Oden can be regarded as both a teacher and a friend. He once guided my practice and is also a partner with us on adventures."

   "Is that so, that would be great."

   Hearing Bai Chuan's answer, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

   "But Kaido is a very powerful enemy, and you may not necessarily be his opponent."

   The old man reminded kindly.

   "Don't worry, there is no absolute certainty, we will not come back, just mere Kaido, no problem."

   Bai Chuan said this mainly for their reassurance. After all, Kaido used these two words to describe him, and he really underestimated him.
