Pirates: Start the vampire fruit, rescue the empress

Beast Kaido chose Wano Country as his base camp, which is equivalent to having an impregnable basic disk.

Even if one day, Kaido is defeated and all the islands except Wano Country are occupied by others, he still has the capital to make a comeback...

In the sky, Sephiroth, who had entered the invisible state by using the spray in advance, flew for a long time following the guidance of the record pointer, and finally arrived at the edge of Wano Country's sea area.

Immediately afterwards, he folded up the black wings on his back, fell lightly from the air, and stood on a rocky bank.

The transparent stealth ability can only deceive the vision, but it cannot hide the domineering and thermal imaging equipment.

Considering that this is the headquarters of the Hundred Beasts Pirates and the situation of the enemy is unknown, Sephiroth can only choose to play it safe.

He raised his right hand, and using the power of the vampire fruit, he split a black bat from his palm, and controlled it to fly to Wano Country.

Soon, bats with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour passed through layers of guards at high altitude and entered the waters of Wano Country.

Sephiroth also saw Kaido's base camp in the waters of Wano Country, Oni Island, through the visual sharing of bats.

However, he did not let the black bat land on Oni Island, but let it fly to the main island of Wano Country.

Although Sephiroth's ability to escape is top-notch, but the situation of the enemy camp is unknown, he doesn't want to rush into it and cause unnecessary trouble.

Wano Country is divided into six regions, Jiuli, Rabbit Bowl, Nozomi, Flower City, Lingou, and Baiwu. They do not border each other. If you want to go from one township to another, you must pass through the border between the two townships. connecting bridges between.

It is worth mentioning that the climate of Wano Country is very unique. At the same time, the climate of each region is different. One region may be icy and snowy, while the other may be as warm as spring.

For example, Suzugo is full of severe winter and snow all year round, while Flower City is like spring all year round, with flowers in full bloom.

....................

Jiuli, Bianli village.

In a dense bamboo forest, the noon sun shines on the ground through the emerald green bamboo leaves.

A crimson thin line pierced the void, and amidst waves of space ripples, a space folding door quietly opened.

Sephiroth, who was still invisible, stepped out from the rocky bank and arrived in the bamboo forest.

Squeak...!

Black bats split from Sephiroth's body, completely destroying the color coating on his body, causing him to exit the invisible state passively, revealing a man wearing a black hooded cloak and a white face mask. he.

It's not good if people don't eat Devil Fruits. The ability is too rigid. When the color coating is damaged to a certain extent, it will disappear automatically...

Under his control, more than a dozen black bats flew towards the village of weaving hats not far away.

Through visual sharing, Sephiroth presented all the scenes in the village in his mind.

In the contiguous low wooden houses, there lived villagers with numb eyes and sallow and emaciated faces.

The vegetation and crops in the farmland are basically withered and yellowed.

The water in the river, under the sunlight, presents a faint color.

Since Kurotan Orochi took the position of General of the Wano Country with the support of Kaido, he began to build weapons factories on every hill in this country, and he also deliberately discharged sewage into the river, Pollution of water sources, thereby completely destroying the surrounding environment, making the land gradually unable to be cultivated...

The Sardo Kingdom and Dressrosa also established weapons factories, but under reasonable planning and arrangements, the factories processed the wastewater discharged accordingly so that it did not cause much impact on the ecological environment.

Heitan Orochi deliberately destroys the land of Wano Country, in fact, he wants to implement his own tyranny, drive the citizens of Wano Country to a dead end, and let them live a life of starvation.

Either starve to death in the wilderness, or can only be willing to devote himself to Kaido's sweatshop, earn meager money, eat dross-like food, and survive...

Heitan Orochi implements such a cruel and heartless rule. The root of all this comes from his hatred of the Kozuki family!

More than 60 years ago, the Kozuki family of the general of the Wano country was troubled by having no heirs. The Heitan daimyo at the time thought that there was an opportunity to replace him, so he conspired to poison the remaining four daimyos one by one.

however……

While the general was still alive, his son Kozuki Sukiyaki was born, the Kozuki family had an heir, and the conspiracy of the Heitan family was discovered.

Heitan daimyo's move undoubtedly offended the five major families of Wano country. In desperation, Heitan daimyo could only choose to commit suicide in fear of crime.

Due to the revelation of the Heitan family's plot to rebel, their family members were also implicated, hunted down by the subordinates of the five major families, and persecuted by the people of the Wano country.

Heitan Orochi, the grandson of Heitan daimyo, is one of them...

In this life full of darkness and despair, the lingering Heitan Orochi, hating the Kozuki family and the people of Wano country, keeps deepening, making his heart constantly twisted!

It wasn't until Heitan Orochi met Heitan Muchan and Heitan Chanwan that his life ushered in a turning point!

Because the two lived overseas all year round, they were able to escape the cleansing of the Guangyue family.

Heitan Muchan is a person with the ability to imitate fruits, while Heitanchanwan is a person with the ability to shield fruits.

In order to revive the Heitan family and avenge the Kozuki family, the two decided to help Heitan Orochi seek Wano Country and help him ascend to the position of General of Wano Country.

Heitan Muchan specially gave the form of Snake Fruit, Phantasmal Beast, and Yamata no Orochi, this god-level devil fruit, to the other party, hoping that he can become an extremely powerful samurai!

however……

Facts have proved that no matter how powerful the potential of the phantom beast fruit is, if the eater's own strength is too weak, and he doesn't work hard to exercise and develop his ability, it will be useless in the end!

After Heitan Orochi ate the fruit of Yamata no Orochi, apart from growing taller and fatter, he only had eight lives.

For the strong, seven extra lives were created out of thin air, that is the rhythm of going to heaven, there is no need to worry about getting injured and dying, and they can fight to the end without any scruples.

but......

For the weak, it's just a process of being trampled to death several times out of thin air!

Fortunately, Heitan Muchan and Heitan Chanwan are strong enough, and the stupid son of the General's family, Kozuki Oden, is really stupid enough!

When Kozuki Oden left Wano Country to travel the outside world as pirates with Whitebeard and Roger, Heitan felt that they had their chance!

Therefore, they imprisoned the terminally ill and weak General Kozuki Sukiyaki in secret, and Heitan Muchan relied on his ability to imitate fruit to pretend to be Kozuki Sukiyaki Burning, in front of his subordinate daimyo, passed the position of general to Heitan Orochi.

So far, the two were able to support Kurotan Orochi, a short-sighted guy, to become the general of Wano Country.

After decades of forbearance and planning, Heitan Orochi gained power and became a general. In order to stabilize his dominance, he directly chose to lure wolves into the house and recruited Kaido to Wano Country.

Immediately afterwards, he began to take revenge on the entire Wano country, making the whole country miserable...

There is no harm if there is no comparison, although Kozuki Oden, the stupid son of the General’s family, used to do all kinds of nonsense, fight and hurt people, rape civilian women, burn oden on the flames of other people’s cremated remains...

but.......

The people of Wano country compared Kozuki Oden with Heitan Orochi, and found that this stupid son of the general's family is simply a great benevolent person!

The lesser of two evils....

As a result, the people of Wano who were thoroughly brainwashed by the feudal monarchy began to have various unreasonable beautifications and assumptions about Kozuki Oden under the deliberate help of Kozuki Oden's wife, Mrs. Toki, thinking that he would definitely be The great hero who rescued Wano Country from Heitan Orochi, his past deeds have been selectively forgotten by the people.

In this way, it is clear that Kozuki Oden has been out to sea for several years and has never returned. He has never asked about the life and death of the people of Wano Country. But it's getting higher and higher...! ?

Finally, in 1497, the Roger Pirates who arrived at "Ralph Drew" were secretly disbanded, and Kozuki Oden returned home!

After five years of traveling around the sea, under the guidance of Roger and Whitebeard, Kozuki Oden finally became a bit of a normal person, learned to take responsibility, and learned to care about the people around him...

In order to respond to the expectations of the people of Wano Country, Kozuki Oden was about to regain the position of general from Heitan Orochi. He entered Kuritan Orochi's palace and prepared to cut off the opponent's head.

However......

Heitan Chanwan's barrier fruit ability is too powerful. Under his protection, even Kozuki Oden tried his best to chop it, but he still couldn't break through the barrier and directly hurt the Heitan Orochi protected in it , and the other party also used this to escape the assassination of the daimyo and the disaffected.

When the situation was at a stalemate, Kurotan Orochi had a plan. He threatened and deceived Kozuki Oden with the lives of hundreds of Wano people, making him dance naked in the street for five years, and promised to do it for five years. Man, he and Kaido will leave the country.

but......

The actual intention of Black Carbon Orochi is to completely destroy the reputation that Kozuki Oden has accumulated inexplicably, so that the people of Wano Country will be completely disappointed with him, thereby reducing his overall strength. On the other hand, Kaido can also take advantage of it. Use the buffer period to enhance strength and develop power......

After the agreed five-year period expired, Black Carbon Orochi told Kozuki Oden the truth with a sneer.

So far, Kozuki Oden has completely made up his mind, and led his nine retainers to fight Kaido to the death...

Because Kurotan Muchan used the ability to imitate the fruit when Kozuki Oden and Kaido were fighting to the death, and became his son Kozuki Momosuke, which made him distracted and was injured by Kaido, resulting in the defeat of hatred , and ended up being fried and cooked to death.......

So far, Wano Country has completely lost the power that can threaten Kurotan Orochi and Kaido, and the whole country has fallen into endless dire straits.

Therefore, for Kozuki Oden, Sephiroth's evaluation is...a powerful fool!

After a while, Sephiroth finally found a white-haired old man with a tengu mask on his face in a small temple in the village with the help of more than a dozen bats scattered around the village.

Since he searched the whole village with bats, he only saw an old man with a mask on his face!

Come to think of it, this guy should be the person he wanted to find when he came to Niagasa Village on this trip... Sukiyaki Kozuki, the former general of Wano Country!

Chapter 181 Kozuki Sukiyaki

Jiuli, Bianli village.

In a small, slightly dilapidated temple, Kozuki Sukiyaki, wearing a red tengu mask and a blue kimono, was lying on the tatami mat, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Five years ago, his son Kozuki Oden lost the decisive battle with Kaido and was fried to death.

Afterwards, the four big names of Tuwan, Ximei, Linghou, and Baiwu were all thrown olive branches by Heitan Orochi, asking them to surrender.

but……

Heitan Orochi was originally in an improper position, and after he came to power, in order to keep filling Kaido's sweatshop with people, he began to expropriate and extort money, using various means to force the people of Wano to work in the sweatshop, otherwise he would be killed. There is simply no way to survive.

Therefore, the four daimyos simply dismissed the solicitation of Heitan Orochi, a wicked thing, and chose to rebel, and countless people responded accordingly!

However......

Seeing the unfavorable Heitan Orochi, he decisively sought support from Kaido.

At that time, Kaido was 39 years old, he was in his prime, and his strength had already entered the threshold of the emperor level.

In the absence of top powerhouses to contain Kaido, the army led by the four daimyos is completely vulnerable to him!

After these four daimyos were defeated, only Bai Wu's daimyo, Shuangyue Kangjia, escaped from the battlefield by chance. The other three daimyos were captured and imprisoned by Kaido, and died.

Since then, Heitan Orochi began to arrest the young and middle-aged men of Tuwan, Nozomi, Lingou, and Baiwu on the grounds of the four daimyo's rebellion, degraded them into slaves, and threw them into Kaido's sweatshop. Work all night until you die of exhaustion!

In order to beautify his reputation, Heitan Orochi also asked the private school to distort history, turn black and white, render himself as the patron saint and savior of Wano country, and constantly brainwash those ignorant children, so as to stabilize his future rule.

At the beginning, Kozuki Sukiyaki was suffering from an incurable disease and his body was weak. Without any resistance, he was imprisoned by the black charcoal snake.

but......

What he never expected was!

Heitan Orochi, in order to continue to show off his power in front of him, has been humiliating him, so that he can enjoy the pleasure of getting revenge, not only serving him good wine and food every day, but also painstakingly curing his incurable disease. ...! ?

Therefore, after a few years of recuperation, Kozuki Sukiyaki regained his physical condition, he broke free from the chains that bound him, escaped from the place of imprisonment, and saw the now devastated Wano country... ..

Kozuki Sukiyaki, who knew that his powerlessness had returned to heaven, could only choose to hide his name and lived in seclusion in Bianli Village, disguising himself as a swordsmith, and claiming to be Tiangushan Feiche to the outside world, by the way, in the village Part-time as a priest.
