Chapter 367 Mobilization Before the War
"Navy? Are they outsiders who oppose the pirates?"
"I only know that Brother Ace is a pirate, but he is a good guy, and Kaido is also a pirate, but he is a bad guy."
“Are the Navy bad guys?”
A girl about seven or eight years old secretly looked at the navy at the entrance of the alleyway in front of her and whispered.
"Ayu, this is not the place you came from."
"It's not yet clear whether this group of people is good or evil."
“For the people in Jiuli, it’s still unclear whether it’s good or bad.”
"but!"
The old man looked serious. He suddenly paused when he said this, and his tone became extremely solemn.
"In Wano Country, these outsiders suddenly appeared."
"It's really shocking!"
"As you can imagine, something big is going to happen."
Ever since the Kaido Pirates entered Wano and Black Carbon Orochi came to power, everything here has been managed by two people.
Suddenly, there is an influx of external forces. It is uncertain whether it is good or bad for the country of Wano.
But it is certain that there will be changes next.
"For many years, there has never been a naval landing in Wano!"
"What does their arrival mean?"
Suddenly, the navy at the entrance of the alley suddenly stood upright. His posture, which was slightly relaxed a moment ago, immediately became tense and serious.
"Lieutenant General Oden!"
"Lieutenant General!"
"According to your instructions, our people will control the streets and alleys, and we will pursue and eliminate the remnants of Kaido and the Black Carbon Orochi."
A serious voice sounded and came clearly.
This also made people in the alley look at him and shrink their heads.
Apparently, the chiefs of these navies are here.
But the old man's expression, which was solemn just a moment ago, turned into stone at this moment, and he stood there blankly.
"O-Oda?!"
This familiar name made the old man's body tremble slightly.
With some expectation and hope, he looked at the entrance of the alley.
It seems that vaguely, one can feel a powerful figure approaching, and will soon appear in front.
At this moment, Ayu saw with confusion that his teacher's eyes were a little red.
Then, in the next second, a tall, majestic, and majestic figure was clearly reflected in her eyes.
"Okay, so high!!"
Ayu said in amazement.
The height of the person coming was probably five or six meters, especially behind his head, there was a ball of flame suspended.
Wearing a white navy uniform with a cloak of justice behind him, he was no different from those of the navy, except that he wore a pair of clogs on his feet.
"well done."
"Remember, don't disturb the civilians here, otherwise, you will be dealt with by military law!"
The man known as Lieutenant General Oden said in a deep voice.
When his words came, Xiaoyu was surprised to find that there was a crystal light shining in the red eyes of his teacher.
Then.
The old man pounced forward, incredibly fast, and appeared in front of Lieutenant General Oden almost instantly.
"It's you!"
"It's really you!!"
"Kozuki Oden!!!"
The loud sound startled everyone on the street.
Like a thunderbolt striking down, everyone recalled a man's name.
The most powerful samurai in Wano Country and the daimyo who ruled Kuri.
In the country of Wano, the famous Kozuki family.
Kozuki Oden looked down and waved his hands to disperse the several school officials who were standing in front of him.
"It doesn't matter!"
Then, his eyes looked at the old man in front of him, and his body trembled violently with just one glance.
"You're alive!"
"You are still alive!"
The two spoke almost at the same time, and the next second, they hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.
This scene made the people in Weili Village look at each other in shock.
The marines on the street also looked at each other, with question marks on their foreheads.
Although they have not seen Lieutenant General Oden take action, they can see the respect that Kuina, Smoker, Bucky and other Lieutenant Generals have for this person, so they guess that this is a person who is hidden in the navy and does not take action on weekdays. veteran lieutenant general.
However, the scene before them made them confused.
Could it be that Lieutenant General Oden is from Wano Country?
"woo woo woo woo!"
The whole street was filled with the sound of two people crying, which made everyone even more confused.
After a while, the two of them let go.
After Kozuki Oden glanced at the other party with a complicated expression, he suddenly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed deeply.
"I'm back!!"
The old man, Kozuki Sukiyaki, stared at his son.
He didn't know what the other person had been through over the years, but looking at his attire, he vaguely guessed something.
"It has not shown its presence in the world for nearly twenty years, but at this moment, it arrived with a large navy."
"Oden, what exactly are you going to do when you come back this time?"
There was a hint of expectation in his words.
"What to do?"
Kozuki Oden murmured, and soon his eyes became firm.
"Wash away my former shame and kill my former enemies."
"Return to the land of peace, a peaceful sky."
Kozuki Sukiyaki became excited: "Your power."
"This time in the Navy, I'm not the only one who's back."
Kozuki Oden said in a deep voice.
"It's just that we need help right now."
Kozuki Sukiyaki was stunned.
——
That day, in Jiuli City.
Countless civilians poured into the square excitedly, looking there with excited and curious eyes.
Many of them are covered in patches and live a poor life.
In the past, people's heads were lowered, their eyes were dull, and they lived a life without hope. But at this moment, if you look carefully, you can see that there is light in their eyes!
"It's Kozuki Oden!!"
"It's really Kozuki Oden!!"
"The once strongest samurai in Wano Country, the daimyo who ruled Kuri, he is back!"
"······"
In the noisy square, excited shouts came one after another.
All around were the navy with serious faces, firmly guarding the field.
But no one cared about it, because news soon spread that the daimyo of Kuri, Kozuki Oden, also held an important position in the navy.
And these navy came with him.
Beyond the crowded and lively crowd, you can see deep into the square.
A figure knelt on his knees, his forehead pressed tightly to the ground.
After a long time, the figure slowly raised his head and knelt on the ground.
But he was tall. Even when he was kneeling, he was still as tall as a normal person.
"I am Kozuki Oden!"
"The sinner of Wano!"
The two sentences came out and echoed in the field, making the noisy environment a second ago suddenly become quiet.
In the crowd, countless farmers with marks on their bodies clenched their fists and had tears in their eyes.
"I'm not dead!"
"By chance, I survived and, as you can see, I became a marine!"
Kozuki Oden said slowly.
"I'm back in this country again."
"With the guilt, anger, regret for this country, and hope in my heart."
"This time."
His eyes were filled with light, his face was cold, and his words were like ice and snow in the cold wind.
"I will leave behind all the foolishness and illusions I once held in my heart."
"Completely drive the enemies of this country out of our homeland!"
The scene was silent, but soon cheers and roars broke out.
"Get rid of Kaido!!"
"Defend Wano Country!!"
"Support Kozuki Oden, support the Kozuki family!"
The boiling sound made the scene almost uncontrollable for a moment.
In one corner of the square, several figures stood there quietly, watching everything here.
"People's hearts are also strength."
"Oden's mobilization of public opinion is the best choice."
"In this way, the people of Jiuli will become our greatest help."
"Also, those warriors hidden in the crowd should not be underestimated!"
Behind Xia Le, Barrett, Kuzan, Kizaru and others said with emotion.
Although they are the highest level in the navy, the protagonist at this moment obviously belongs to Kozuki Oden.
"Kaido's side should have gotten the news almost as well."
"The time for the decisive battle is not far away!"
Xia Le said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru and the others' expressions were slightly condensed.
Fighting in remote places is undoubtedly detrimental to the navy. But if we can get the support of local people, the situation will naturally be different.
——
Ghost Island.
The loud music barely stopped, and the party continued.
Sudden.
A panicked voice came running over, with a frightened expression on its face, passing through the crowd, and soon arrived in front of the Three Disasters.
He glanced at the three terrifying figures in front of him. Among them, Quinn and Jack were drinking so much that they were almost unconscious. Only Jhin was still sitting there steadily.
But Jhin is the leader of the three disasters and has a special status in the Kaido Pirates. This person did not dare to speak for a while.
"What's matter?"
A low voice came from Jin's mouth.
The pirate trembled for a moment, then breathed in and said: "Something is going wrong, Boss Jin!"
"The navy, the navy entered the shallow port of Wano not long ago, defeated the defense we deployed there, and broke through to Kuri!"
"Now, the entire Jiuli has been taken over by the navy!"
"Our people are fleeing in all directions and are seriously injured!"
The sound wasn't noticeable amidst the loud music, and it didn't attract much attention.
But Jhin heard it, and he narrowed his exposed eyes, stared deeply at the pirate in front of him, then turned and left.
After a while.
In the center of the banquet, in front of two giant figures.
Jhin approached slowly, and as he arrived, behind Big Mom, Katakuri opened his eyes.
One is Yanban, one of the three disasters, and the other is Katakuri, one of the three generals.
The two people looked at each other, making the atmosphere tense, but silently.
"Captain Kaido!"
The sound was soft but powerful. When it reached Kaido's ears, he immediately opened his eyes.
"oh?"
"Jin, didn't you drink something? Today is our happy day!"
Jin's eyes were calm and he replied calmly: "I drank three glasses."
"Navy, here we come!"
The last sentence was still very light, as if he was describing a daily routine.
Kaido was stunned for a moment, then his pupils contracted.
"What did you say?"
"The navy broke through the shallow harbor not long ago and entered Jiuli. It has cleared all the troops we deployed there."
Jhin said softly.
Silence, deathly silence.
After a long time.
"Hey, rub, rub, rub~~~"
A weird and iconic loud sound came out, followed by an extremely domineering aura that spread, covering the entire ghost island in the blink of an eye.
Bigum, who was sitting across from him with his head hanging down and sleeping soundly, was woken up.
"Lingling!"
"Now, it's not time for you to sleep!"
Kaido said loudly.
"Boom!"
Lightning struck in the sky, and the atmosphere on the entire ghost island suddenly became gloomy.
"Well, well, well."
"You'd better tell me clearly what happened, Kaido!"
Bigumam said coldly.
"The navy is coming!"
Kaido said coldly.
Big Mom was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes flashed with light, her mouth widened, and a smile emerged.
"Isn't that what you and I want?"
Kaido also had a smile on his face.
"Let's fight to the death with these bastards like the navy on our territory!"
"Let the world know who is the real number one!"
Having said this, he shouted loudly again.
"What invincible legend, naval hero, the strongest in history?"
"It's all a joke!"
"As old as a white beard, and as disabled as a red-haired boy, they are all abandoned by the tide of the times!"
"How can they be considered strong?"
"He's just a virtual warrior with a great reputation."
"And I, Kaido, only I, Kaido!"
"And all of you under my command, our alliance Lingling!"
"He is the strong man who can truly control this world! He is the one who finally owns the whole world!"
The words were sonorous, powerful, and full of morale. The two pirate groups, who were already excited because of drinking, were instantly excited and excited.
"right!!"
"We are the freest and most powerful people on this sea!"
"The white beard is just an old man with gray hair, and the red hair is just a disabled person with a broken arm!"
"How can they compare to our cooperation!"
"Right here, kill the navy!"
"······"
The words that could be called arrogant resounded among the two pirate groups, but they were recognized by countless people.
The white beard is described as an old man with gray hair, and the red hair is also despised as a disabled person with a broken arm, in order to promote himself and boost morale.
"Young ones!!"
The words like thunder spread throughout the ghost island.
"Pick up your weapons!"
"Ready to fight!!"
Kaido shouted loudly.
As the violent overlord-colored aura rushed into the sky, the entire sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning crackled.
"Roar!!"
Countless pirates raised their weapons and roared like thunder.
The fighting spirit reached its highest level in an instant, and countless people looked up to the sky and roared.
There is no doubt that this is the pre-war mobilization of the two Yonko regiments, Kaido and Big Mom.
Simple, yet crude.
at the same time.
Above the sea of the new world.
The two fleets were slowly approaching, and when they reached a certain distance, they both burst out with strong fighting intentions towards each other.
"Tikki!!!"
On the giant Moby-Dick, Ace's expression instantly turned gloomy.
Directly opposite it.
"Thief hahahaha!"
"Isn't this Ace? What a fate!"
Marshall Teach said with a laugh.
