I, the Pirate King of the East China Sea

"Since Kaido is the protecting king of the Wano country, he will probably be with the generals of the Wano country at this time. All the soldiers are gathered together. It is not suitable to launch a surprise attack at this time."

Although Yizang has not returned to the Kingdom of Harmony for many years, he has already learned some information about the Kingdom of Harmony from Sig before, so his face looks worried.

"Is this what Whitebeard means?" Sig asked.

"No, this is my suggestion." Yizang said.

"That's okay." Sig waved his hand:

"Soldiers are precious and fast. I'm afraid there will be long nights and dreams later."

"With our current power, we don't need to worry about other twists and turns, and attacking Onigao as quickly as possible is the right way!"

Yi Zang wanted to say something, but there was a continuous roar in his ears.

Looking sideways, there are huge monsters jumping out of the sea next to it.

This is a big and scary giant carp, obviously a freshwater creature, but it is very comfortable in this sea, and each one is as big as Sig's boat.

Not only the boat, but also the surrounding reefs and even the waves, the painting style is completely different, as if suddenly strayed into a Ukiyo-e scroll.

Both Whitebeard and Sig knew the way to enter Wano Country, and they had made preparations in advance.

Seeing that the sea current had come to an end, a large waterfall hundreds of meters high lay in front of him, blocking the way, and the sound of the waterfall was like thunder.

"As long as you know the landing method of Wano country, landing in Wano country will not be difficult."

Holding the thick iron rope in one hand, Stussy stepped on the moon and rushed forward over the waves. He quickly rushed to the giant carp in front of him, and put the iron rope on the giant carp.

crunch...

The hull of the boat makes a light sound, and with the pull of the giant carp in front of the boat, the hull of the boat slowly climbs up the waterfall at a [-]-degree angle.

About two minutes later, the hull jumped up and crashed onto the water. After climbing over the waterfall, it arrived at the offshore waters of Wano Country without any danger.

When they arrived at the coast, the three ships anchored and docked, and the pirates on board disembarked and landed one after another.

It was morning, and the sun was just right.

"Then, according to the previous plan, hide the boat first, and let the large troops rest near here."

Sig said.

He came for Tianyue Shi, while White Beard, Shanks and others came for Kozuki Oden.

It's also inappropriate to act without permission before inquiring about the specific situation of Kozuki Oden.

What if Oden is still alive, but becomes Kaido's prisoner, and is taken hostage by Kaido after acting without authorization... that would be bad.

He then turned his head to look at Yizang.

"If you want to inquire about Kozuki Oden, I know a place, but I don't know the exact location."

Sig said:

"I heard that there is a woman named Ah He who opened a teahouse in a certain place. You should be able to ask her about this matter."

"Yizang, do you know the exact location of Ahe Teahouse?"

Yizang was stunned for a moment:

"Mr. Seeger, you really know everything about Wano Country like the back of your hand."

"Among the retainers of Oden back then, a samurai named Kin'emon was the leader of our group of retainers."

"And Ah Tsuru is Kin'emon's wife."

"If she's still running a teahouse, it's really a good idea to find her..."

After deliberation, the large force hid the ship, and then rested in a secluded place around them, quietly waiting for instructions.

Seeger, Whitebeard and others followed Yizang's guidance and searched for Ah He's teahouse.

……

In the territory of Wano Country, in the Jiuli area, in the dilapidated town.

This is a small town in the territory of Wano Country. When Sig and others came here, all they could see was a scene of depression and dilapidation.

It was a rather barren slum.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, and the occasional few were also pale and emaciated. When they saw Seeger and others in "outlandish clothes", they were startled and hid by the side of the road.

"Is this Wano Country?"

Tianyueshi's eyes were a little empty, it was too far from the hometown she had imagined.

Yizang's tone was also very low and said:

"The reason why there are no people on the street is probably because they all went to participate in the fire festival celebration."

"But Kuri used to be the area ruled by His Royal Highness, since the town has become so dilapidated...then His Royal Highness probably..."

Yizang didn't go on, he also had a bad feeling.

soon.

In the middle of the front, a simple teahouse appeared. At the gate of the teahouse, the familiar figure of the hostess of the teahouse, Ah He, was standing there.

"Yi... Yizang? Is that you?"

Ah He stared blankly at the old man, his eyes showing shock.

After the two parties got to know each other, Yizang quickly got to the point.

"Sister Ahe...I came back with the rescuers." Yizang asked in a low tone, "Wano Kingdom is now controlled by Kaido, right?"

"The big pirate who is as famous as Kaido, we have a total of three here..."

Three monsters with Kaido?

A-He was startled, and smiled wryly, obviously not taking it seriously.

Quickly throwing out one question after another in Tibetan, the voice trembled slightly at the end, and asked the question that he, Whitebeard and others wanted to know the most: "So... is His Highness Mitian still alive? Where is Kikunojo?"

Ah He was silent for a while.

This caused Baibeard, Yizang and others to gradually sink into the bottom of their hearts.

"His Royal Highness...he died in the frying pan between Orochi and Kaido after failing to challenge Kaido eight years ago."

Ahe coughed lightly, and chattered about the past of Wano Country in the past few years.

All this is roughly the same as the history known to Seager, but the details are slightly different.

After returning to the country, Oden was completely played by Kaido and the current Wano Country General Kuritan Orochi as a fool. He has been "Your Highness Fool" for several years and danced naked in the downtown area.

After a few years, when the hearts of the people were completely lost, he brought his retainers and challenged Kaido angrily.

The ending is also the same as history, he failed to challenge Kaido, and finally died in the frying pan.

Kozuki Oden seems to be on good terms with both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, and also has a group of powerful retainers, with many friends and subordinates.

But he was a lone ranger from beginning to end, not a general of Wano country.

Sig shook his head secretly in his heart:

"Without Momonosuke to disrupt the situation, the old man of Heitan's family can still pretend to be Kozuki Sukiyaki, or Shimotsuki Yasushi's family, etc., or directly kidnap thousands of people as hostages."

"With Kozuki Oden's mind and skills... Even if he has the power of Whitebeard and even Roger, he will be eaten to death by Orochi and Kaido in all likelihood."

He had only met Kozuki Oden once, and had no friendship, and he was only a little regretful to hear the news of his death.

But White Beard, Yizang and others beside him are not.

Whitebeard stood at the door of the teahouse holding a naginata, with his back to Ah He and the others.He was silent for a long, long time, like a towering obelisk.

"Was it Kaido who killed Oden?"

Whitebeard's tone barely remained calm, but his voice was trembling slightly, like a volcano about to erupt.

"White Beard, calm down, don't be impulsive." Seeger persuaded:

"Kaido claims to be immortal, so it's hard to kill him completely."

"Our troops are superior to him, but if we want to deal with him, we must cut off all his back routes, and make sure we are safe before attacking."

"You don't want to let Kaido escape because of impulse, do you?"

Seeger's persuasion hit the nail on the head, and Whitebeard forcibly calmed down.

Immediately afterwards, Yizang turned to Ahe and asked the next question: "What about Kikunojo? And Kin'emon... are they still alive?"

Headed by Kin'emon, several people including Kikunojo and Izo, were retainers of the original Kuri daimyo Kozuki Oden.

"They...were still alive yesterday, maybe now." Ah Tsuru's eyes flashed sadness; "After the death of His Royal Highness, Kinemon and the others escaped from the execution ground and fled in Wano Country for many years."

"But just last night, the day before the fire festival night, I met Jin'emon and the others."

"They decided...to lead the last batch of warriors loyal to the Kozuki family to challenge Kaido on the night of the fire festival."

"At this time?" Yizang revealed a look of shock:

"If I'm not mistaken, this celebration should be the time when Kaido's forces are most concentrated?"

"Why did Kin'emon attack Kaido at this time?"

"Because they already have the will to die." Ahe said in a calm tone, word by word: "They know that they are not Kaido's opponents, and they don't have a loyal lord, and even the Kozuki family no longer exists. So I plan to to die."

"Not only the Kozuki family, Heitan Orochi has been eradicating dissidents since he took office, and the five famous families that are qualified to inherit the position of general have almost disappeared..."

In the Wano country, the general is the actual ruler, equivalent to the king.

The so-called daimyo is equivalent to the princes who ruled a certain area.

Wano country is ruled by a total of six great families.

The royal family, that is, the Kozuki family with the position of hereditary general.

Under the Kozuki family, there are five daimyo families who serve the general, namely Shuangyue, Tianyue, Fengyue, Uzuki, and Heitan.

As early as decades ago, in the generation of Kozuki Oden's grandfather, the Kozuki family had been few and far between, almost extinct.

At that time, the five famous families were fighting for the succession of the general, and the Heitan family poisoned the other four families, and they had already killed the other four families in sevens and eighties.

Later, Oden's grandfather had a son in his later years, and Kozuki Sukiyaki was born, so the Kozuki family with an heir made great efforts to quell the chaos, and almost eradicated the Heitan family.

So far, all daimyo families, including the Kozuki family, are in a precarious situation with few people.
