Chapter 96: Liberation of Wano Country

The five-year promise is coming. During these five years, he danced this disgusting dance everywhere, aiming to observe whether Orochi and Kaido kept their promise.

He held a glimmer of hope in his heart, a glimmer of hope that the other party would keep their promise and leave Wano Country.

It was this hope that made him choose to believe the illusory verbal promise.

Kanjuro was killed by beheading, and his retainer, his family who had been together for twenty-one years, was killed in such a cruel way.

Undercover?

How is it possible?

In the past twenty-one years, the Kanjuro who stole hair to make brushes and sold them and was known as a monster, the Kanjuro who laughed and played with everyone when cooking oden...

How could he be an undercover of Kurozumi Orochi?

But now, the retainer was beheaded and brutally killed, and as a monarch, he could not help him avenge!

He opened his eyes, and the head that rolled to the ground, his eyes that were still open in death, stared at Oden.

In an instant, his hands clenched the handles of Enma and Ame-no-Habezan.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang..."

Kinemon, Denjiro and others fell to their knees.

"Your Highness Oden... please... please put Wano Country first!"

"Wano Country... put it first!"

"We... we don't deserve death, but my lord, my lord, please put Wano Country... first!"

...

Looking at the retainers kneeling in front of him, scenes flashed through his mind.

The scene of Wano Country becoming Kaido's weapons factory, and the misery he had seen while traveling on the sea. Kozuki Oden's hand holding the hilt of the sword finally loosened.

It's not just Wano Country, the future of this country is about this world.

Kanjuro...

At this time, Kevin, who was standing with Kuma and Dragon, also looked at Kozuki Oden.

"That's why I always think you're not cut out to be a king. You're hesitant and indecisive. You need retainers and outsiders to remind you of what's important and what's not. If you've traveled the sea but trust a pirate... stupid..."

Before he finished his words, he was pulled by Dorag behind him.

Kevin looked back at him: "Why are you pulling me?"

Dorag's forehead was still covered with sweat: "Although you often preached before, you wouldn't say every word with a knife like today. Look at those guys, maybe they can really fight."

Kevin glanced at Denjiro and others: "We don't have only them as our choice. Although we can't choose Kaido because of the bottom-based central idea, it's not impossible to clean up both sides and then transform Wano Country."

Big Bear on the side reached out and patted Kevin on the shoulder: "These guys' eyes are bleeding, you'd better say less. Otherwise, Rayleigh and others will have a hard time, right?"

Kevin thought about it and didn't speak again.

But the next moment, Kevin disappeared directly on the spot.

A special kunai was thrown out in the woods, and black flashes flowed through, killing five Beast Pirates' minions directly.

After reappearing, Kevin frowned: "If you don't want to attract attention, you have to leave quickly, otherwise Kaido will still know to see the wanted order."

Rayleigh and Roger looked at each other, and then pulled Oden away with Kin'emon and others.

...

Kuri, the reception room of the daimyo's mansion.

The atmosphere at this time was completely different from before. There was also a Shimotsuki Yasuie who had just arrived and heard the previous situation.

In the reception room, Oden and Shimotsuki Yasuie were sitting, and Kin'emon and other retainers and Shimotsuki Hikoichiro and others were standing.

On the opposite side were Kevin and five others.

"... Born in a stage play troupe, the death of his parents was related to the Kozuki clan. It is more appropriate for such a person to be sent as an undercover for twenty-one years."

Kevin had already said what he said, drank a sip of tea, and saw the resentful eyes on the opposite side.

So the brains of these samurai are all on their butts?

However, there is one exception, that is Shimotsuki Yasuie, who arrived after Oden, and the name of Hakumai.

"From your words, I can hear that you seem to know Wano Country very well, and also know the past of Kurozumi and Kozuki clan, and even know about the rebellion in Wano Country in the past."

Shimotsuki Yasuie turned to look at Oden after he finished speaking: "The Kurozumi family once rebelled. I wonder if His Highness Oden mentioned this when he was in the pirate group?"

This made Oden stunned, and then he looked directly at Kevin: "How did you know?"

Kevin, wearing a mask, chuckled: "Your wife is also a fruit ability user. Although she can only go to the future and cannot return to the past, but She can also see some future scenes, and so can I. "

"I know more than just these. After you returned to Wano Country from Roger's pirate ship, you made an agreement with Orochi. Because of the lives of more than a hundred people, they were threatened to dance for five years and then leave, right?"

"I have said this several times, but you still don't realize the meaning of this sentence. In Wano Country, did you tell anyone about it?"

At this time, among the retainers of Kozuki, a pink woman standing behind Raizo looked a little doubtful.

Kevin's ridicule was still full: "That's why I said you are not suitable for the position of king. Not only you, but also your father Shimotsuki Sukiyaki. The same is true."

Once these words came out, even Oden, who was still in doubt, slammed the table and stood up.

Fortunately, Shimotsuki Yasuie beside him stopped him, but he also looked at Kevin with a bad look: "Your Excellency, insulting a dead person is a bit too much."

Kevin sneered: "The old guy is not dead at all, but because he entrusted the wrong person, he was afraid of embarrassment and responsibility at this critical moment, so he hid."

"What?!"

Instantly, everyone on the opposite side was stunned, including the few retainers standing.

Oden stood up immediately. His father was not dead?

Glancing at him, Kevin said directly: "Did you find his body? The one who made Orochi officially become the general was just the one who had the ability of the Mimic Fruit, who could change into the appearance of anyone who touched him. So where is your father's body?"

Shimotsuki Yasuie was also very emotional at this time. He pulled Oden back and asked: "Where is he?"

Facing everyone's attentive eyes, Kevin spread his hands directly: "How should I know?"

(_)

Even Shimotsuki Yasuie couldn't hold it anymore.

But soon Kevin brought hope again: "Wearing a tengu mask, the kind with a long nose, he should call himself Tenguyama Hitotsu. What I saw was his situation twenty years later. At present, I really don't know where he is hiding in the gutter and dare not look up."

Gutter...

This is a metaphor for mice, but Oden and others can't refute it at this time.

A lord who is obviously alive, but dare not stand up because of his wrong choice, putting the entire Wano country in danger.

They couldn't refute it.

"Dongdongdong."

Kevin knocked on the table, and everyone's attention was attracted.

"The combat power of Shimotsuki Sukiyaki will not play any role in this war. A lord who has been dead for several years has little influence on the opponent who has the ability of the Mimic Fruit."

"There is no need to discuss him now!"

Kevin stood up, and his eyes under the mask gradually became cold.

"I have already told you about the problem of Kurozumi Kanjuro. It is up to you to believe it or not. Kurozumi Orochi is a soft bone. You will know it naturally after cutting off a few of his fingers."

"Now, what I need to tell you is that I, as the revolutionary army, will tell you the purpose of our support: to liberate Wano Country."

Liberation?

This is the first time such a word appears, and even Oden thinks it is the founding of a country.

But Kevin directly denied it: "The founding of Wano Country is inevitable, but not now, nor in twenty years. And the liberation I am talking about is to completely cut off the so-called hereditary succession of the daimyo and shogun."

After the voice fell, the people opposite were stunned again.

Kin'emon was even more furious, and was almost rushed out by Denjiro: "I want to duel with you!"

However, the next moment, when their eyes met, fear grew from the bottom of their hearts.

Oden noticed it and let him go.

At this time, Kevin also looked at Oden: "If someone like you becomes the king, it is the greatest irresponsibility to a country. Kozuki Sukiyaki let Kurozumi Orochi temporarily take the position of general, and you are also responsible for your own will."

"I heard that you gave birth to a timid son who is afraid of things and cherishes his body when doing big things, but likes to talk about his identity. Where do you think your son will lead Wano Country in the future?"

"The daimyo of Wano Country can be a manager, but not an heir. This is the bottom line of the revolutionary army! It is also the bottom line for the world in the future!"

Kozuki Oden lowered his head.

He will check Kanjuro's past, and even interrogate Orochi afterwards.

But what he was thinking about at this time was the monarch issue introduced by Kevin.

Momonosuke... will he be a qualified lord?

He will be bullied by Hiyori, hide behind Toki when he sees a stranger, and shout who his father is and what he is from the Kozuki family.

"Oden."

The voice of Shimotsuki Yasuie sounded: "They will not keep their promises, and the bottom line proposed by these people who come to support now represents more than just the hereditary succession of the lord."

"Also, it means that they have no intention of controlling the country in the name of the general or the daimyo."

This made Oden clear.

But...

Oden glanced at Roger and Rayleigh wearing masks. Rayleigh's expression clearly did not know the bottom line of the Revolutionary Army, but Roger could see from his eyes under the mask that he knew it very well.

What Raftel saw flashed through his mind, and Oden seemed to have figured out something.

"So what kind of manager does the Revolutionary Army think is more suitable and qualified?"

Kevin replied: "The term is four years, and the positions are rotated. The capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted. If your son has the ability to manage this country, then he will still be a daimyo and a general."

"And if he doesn't have such talent, he can only be a member of this country, not a useless lord who can enjoy the supply of the lower-class people by being high above with the two words of Kozuki."

At this time, Roger spoke: "Of course, the specific election will be decided in the future. For now, it is still you, Oden, who will manage Wano Country. The process from hereditary monarch to election cannot be achieved in one fell swoop. The people of this country have not awakened their thoughts."

"But after this war, Wano Country needs to promote the ideological education of the Revolutionary Army and enlighten the people's thoughts. I think you, Oden, will have no problem with this, based on my understanding of you."

The two looked at each other, and even Rayleigh beside him felt a little strange at this time, as if he remembered something.

The three of them understood each other and lowered their heads at the same time.

Everything seen on Ravrud, the secret about this world, and the meaning of the sound of the drum of liberation.

Liberation...

This word was the first time I heard it from other places after Ravrud.

And the last sentence there.

…

Oden raised his head slightly and looked at Kevin: "If what you said is true, then I agree on behalf of the Kozuki clan."

After the voice fell, Oden stood up and walked to the middle, turned around and faced the retainers.

Bowed.

"Everyone. I don't doubt Kanjuro's loyalty to the Kozuki clan. After this, whether it is Orochi or digging three feet underground, I will definitely find out clearly."

"By then, Wano Country will be out of the control of Kaido and Orochi. If Kanjuro died innocently, then I will fight for justice for Kanjuro even if I have to sacrifice my life."

"Swear in the name of the Kozuki family!"

These words made Kin'emon and others almost cry.

One by one, they knelt on the ground, saying that they understood the difficulties of their lord and asked Oden to take back his oath.

Kevin was very embarrassed to see this scene.

Perhaps it was the influence of his memory. Since he came to this country, he felt very unhappy.

In his memory, he felt good about Hiyori, Shimotsuki Yasuie, and the cheek-pinching girl who was not born yet.

But when this country was linked together, it would always make him feel sarcastic and unhappy.

However, liberating Wano Country would sound much more comfortable if it was called by another name.

Feeling good!

...

Soon, the discussion moved to the second half.

Regarding the placement of the 4,000 reinforcements that will arrive tomorrow, and when Kaido's Beasts Pirates will gather on Onigashima.

The choice of this nearby time point was the time when Oden was ambushed when he led nine retainers to Onigashima after knowing that he was deceived.

The gathering of the Beasts Pirates on Onigashima should also be about to begin.

In addition, before Oden died, the cautious guy Orochi must have held many people hostage, and he needed to find an opportunity to kill him.

Onigashima is a good place. After killing Kaido, it can be used as a new base for the Revolutionary Army, and Vegapunk's research institute can also be relocated.

The World Government is keeping an eye on the Revolutionary Army, so it is best that the location of the research institute is not together with the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.

Liberate Wano Country... Hahaha!

Kevin was a little happy after his thoughts ran wild.

By then, the titles of Daimyo and Shogun can be changed after the people's minds are liberated.

Whether it is Kozuki or Shimotsuki, they will eventually be swept into the dust of history. Under liberation, there will be no so-called monarchs and nobles!
