Pirates: Start with an island

"No, no, no! I said the wrong thing!"

Kozuki Oden was afraid that William would refuse, so his tone became much weaker!

"Well, since you said the stakes must be equal, then tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not break my promise!"

At this point, as if he felt that it would damage his image, Kozuki Oden added:

"Of course, the premise is that you can win first!"

This sounds like the truth!

William nodded: "Okay! If I win, I want you to teach me and my crew the way to practice Ryusakura, and give me at least one ton of seastone and seastone processing technology. In addition, you must arrange a place for us to live! How about it? This bet is not big, right?"

"That's it?"

Kozuki Oden opened his mouth, a little unbelievable.

He originally thought that William would ask for a lot, but he didn't expect it to be just such a small thing!

It's just a drizzle!

"What? You think this bet is not okay? If so, just ignore what I said!"

Seeing Kozuki Oden's silly look, William couldn't help but feel a little bit of bad taste in his heart.

The original book also describes Kozuki Oden quite a bit. He is a bohemian man who does things without paying attention to details, but his heart is a bit naive.

This kind of naive character is easy to be taken advantage of. Kozuki Oden in the original book was defeated by Kaido and Orochi with conspiracy for this reason!

And this time when he came to Wano Country, William's plan was the same, but he didn't want to occupy Wano Country. He just wanted to learn Ryuo here and learn the processing technology of seastone!

When Kozuki Oden saw William turning around to leave, he would not hesitate and nodded immediately: "Okay!!! This bet is great!"

How could Kozuki Oden refuse such a good thing? Most of the samurai in Wano Country know about Ryusakura, and it is not a particularly precious thing. The processing technology of seastone is precious to the Kozuki clan, but for Kozuki Oden, who can give up everything for his dream, how could he care!

William stared at Oden for a while, smiling and not smiling, until he made him feel uncomfortable, and then nodded:

"Okay, since you agreed, the bet is officially established from today! When do you plan to implement the bet with me?"

"Now!"

Kozuki Oden grinned, his tone was very affirmative.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time. Although he can feel that William is not weak, he is not afraid!

After all, he is quite confident in his own strength!

Looking at the anxious Kozuki Oden, William shrugged helplessly, "Since you can't wait to start, I won't refuse you, but where should we fight? We can't fight on this street, right?"

"Uh..."

Kozuki Oden was a little speechless for a moment. He looked back at the people on the street, and then at his men beside him, and knew what William meant.

With his strength, if he really fights, this street will definitely be destroyed!

As the daimyo of Kuri, he naturally cannot allow such a thing to happen!

After thinking about it, his eyes lit up: "By the way, I know where to go! Follow me!"

After speaking, he turned around first and led his men to the north of the street.

Tiger, who was standing by, looked at the other person's back as he left, hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain, do you really want to fight him?"

"Of course, this bet is of no loss to us, whether we win or lose, so why not fight?" William turned his head and looked at Tiger, his mouth slightly raised.

Although this bet was the result of William's intentional guidance, the purpose has been achieved. If we don't fight, it will be a big loss!

Hearing this, Tiger opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was interrupted by William's hand: "Okay, the bet has been established, it's too late to regret now, so let's do it!"

Seeing that Kozuki Oden was about to disappear at the corner of the street, William said no more and followed him.

Seeing this, everyone immediately followed him.

"Did you hear it just now? Lord Oden wants to duel with this outsider--"

"Why don't you follow him and see?"

Just as William and his people left, the originally quiet street suddenly became noisy.

They are all residents who have lived in Kuri since childhood. Although there have been reports about Kozuki Oden resolving the attack on the Flower Capital Mountain God before, they have never seen it with their own eyes!

Now that they can finally see Oden take action with their own eyes, each of them is very excited.and expectant expression.

In an instant——

The streets were crowded with people, and all the residents followed happily.

At the same time————

In the tavern——

The expressions of Takusuke and his men were very ugly at this time!

They also heard the bet just now. If Kozuki Oden really won at that time, and William promised to take him out to sea, it would be too late to stop him at that time!

"Takusuke, what should we do?" The subordinate beside him asked cautiously.

Obviously, this subordinate also guessed the key point of the matter.

"Things have developed to this point, it is no longer something we can intervene in. I just hope that person can beat Lord Oden!" Takusuke sighed, with a hint of unconfidence in his words.

But how could the people present believe such words?

After all, that was Lord Oden who was able to master Ryuo at the age of eighteen!

Half an hour later——

Led by Kozuki Oden, everyone came to the forest behind the mountain!

Because no one lives here for many years, there is a thick layer of fallen leaves underfoot.

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled light and shadow fall on everyone.

"How is it? This environment is good, right!"

Kozuki Oden turned his head and looked at William, with a hint of excitement in his expression.

"Not bad!"

William nodded: "But I advise you to talk to the residents behind first, don't let them get too close to us, otherwise when the fight breaks out, it will be unnecessary to cause casualties!"

Hearing this, Kozuki Oden turned his head and looked at his subordinates beside him: "You go!"

"Yes! Lord Oden!"

The subordinates took the order and then turned and walked towards the residents.

"Is it okay now?"

After the subordinates left, Oden set his eyes on William, and his excited eyes became even crazier at this time.

When the two looked at each other, a strong wind suddenly blew in the air.

"······"

"William!!! Come on!! Beat him down!!!"

Just when the atmosphere was getting tense, Lina on the side suddenly shouted to William with an excited expression on her face.

"Hey! Kid, don't make trouble!!"

Lina's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Kozuki Oden's men, and they glared at him.
