Chapter 97: The Frost Moon Kang Family's Reliance

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

After reaching a consensus on the bottom line, the forces coming from the outer sea to help and the forces of the Kuri daimyo's mansion finally did not fight. To be more precise, the people of Oden's faction had to surrender.

After taking a look at Oden's retainers, Shimotsuki Yasuie chose to acquiesce to the other side's request.

He was more sober than everyone else.

As the daimyo of Hakumai for decades, he had a clear understanding of the people of this country. He also had a certain understanding of the big snake who was disguised under his hands at the beginning, and the pirate from the outer sea.

Wano Country is now at the top of the cliff. The singing and dancing are just the surface. One step away will be shattered.

The black charcoal big snake can suppress Kozuki, and the armed force depends on the beast pirates.

And this pirate from the outer sea, he has also known about it.

Three years ago, the beast pirates and other pirates fought against other pirates in the bell. At that time, it was an opportunity for Wano Country, but...

Shimotsuki Yasuie glanced at Oden.

The people of the Revolutionary Army are sometimes right. Lord Oden has the bearing of a lord, but he does not have the determination of a superior.

But no matter what, he is Kozuki, the lord of this country.

Oden was unwilling to seize that opportunity, just as he was unwilling to tell anyone before that he was forced to dance that kind of dance. He believed that Orochi and Kaido would keep their promise.

And this time, if Shimotsuki Hikoichiro and these revolutionary armies came one day earlier, Oden would not agree to this alliance. He would still believe in Kaido and Orochi.

The other party is already gathering high-end combat power. This is the information brought by the samurai, and it is also the reason why he asked Oden to go to the Hakuma Daimyo Mansion today.

"Hu..."

After exhaling, Shimotsuki Yasuie looked at the opposite side and said: "Neither I nor Lord Oden are people who cannot let go of power. Today's Wano Country needs your help, please!"

In "Today's Wano Country", this person emphasized the tone.

Kin'emon and others looked condensed, and finally lowered their heads and retreated.

During the five years that Oden danced, they went to the Daimyo's mansion of Hakumai many times. They chose to trust this lord who had been supporting Oden since he was young.

"Since we have reached a basic agreement, let's start talking about the follow-up issues."

Kevin said, "We need to understand the intelligence of the Beast Pirates, and we need to know whether their mid-to-high-end combat power is gathering or dispersing."

"At present, our existence should be sudden. After the closed Wano Country was controlled by them in the harbor, there are not many people in this world who have the ability to fly."

"That is to say, we can form a surprise attack, even a surprise attack of 4,000 people, which can be controlled with the ability to fly."

"Finally, it is the place where the war breaks out. The collision of top combat power is very destructive to the center of the battlefield, so we need to get a time for them to gather on Onigashima!"

Faced with these questions, Kozuki Oden, who was sitting in the middle opposite, was confused.

In the past five years, all he thought about was that the five years would pass as soon as possible, and Wano Country would no longer be oppressed after Kaido and Orochi left.

He had never thought about how to break the situation after being deceived. The most likely possibility was that he would rush over alone with a knife.

"In fact, they have been gathering mid-to-high-end combat power recently."

Shimotsuki Yasuie said, looking at Oden: "This afternoon, the other party's obvious unwillingness to keep its promise was discussed with Oden. Now it seems that the timing is right."

"During this period, even Kaido stayed on Onigashima to guard against Oden's power. His two big bosses also stayed on Onigashima."

"Specifically about the intelligence of the Beasts Pirates, I have a more detailed analysis here, including the ability of sorcery. After this conversation, I can hand it over to you."

Kevin nodded.

It must be said that this big-faced old guy is more like a lord than Oden.

Kevin has no experience in large-scale wars. After signaling to Dorag, whose forehead was full of sweat, the next arrangement was handed over to him.

After all, this world is different. In a world with supernatural powers, high-end combat power must be restrained by someone.

Otherwise, one breath of Kaido would cause nearly a hundred people to lose their ability to move even if they were dispersed.

In this regard, Dragon and Uncle Bear, who was in charge of the Revolutionary Army's Southern Army, were professionals.

Swallowing a plate of sashimi with one hand, Dragon raised his hand to wipe the sweat: "Next time, you can directly serve large pieces of barbecue. This thing is really hard to eat."

After speaking, Dragon looked serious: "Before this, the Revolutionary Army had also collected and understood a certain amount of intelligence on the New World. Now that the high-end combat power of the Beasts Pirates has been gathered, it will be much easier."

Big Bear on the side looked over: "The old way?"

Drag smiled: "Golden Lion Shiki can be invincible with the power of the Floating Fruit, and even has the title of Pirate Admiral, which is also due to the mobility of the Flying Pirates. The old way...isn't it useful?"

At this time, Shimotsuki Hikoichiro had already brought a map of Wano Country, and the seven people from both sides stood around the map.

Drager pointed to the Onigashima below Rabbit Well and White Dance: "Mr. Spark uses the ability of teleportation to form a king-to-king situation. I will land five ships at the entrances and exits of Onigashima to form an impact."

Kevin on the side understood that he had to go in first to complete the landing of the coordinate point.

However, the coordinate point is the limitation of the teleportation ability, so it is not appropriate to talk about it here.

"In the case of facing the opponent's king-to-king situation, the middle and high-end combat power of the center blossom cannot form a situation where the physical strength of the party is consumed. Then Kaido..."

Kevin said at this time: "I will do it."

Oden raised his head and frowned: "You...you should not be able to do it yet. With me, it should be safer."

Drager was about to say something, but Kevin raised his hand to stop him: "Let him go together, and leave Wano Country to the samurai."

This made the other people's eyes slightly fixed, but they didn't say anything.

Dragon continued: "There are nearly 2,000 troops on five ships. After that, the Den Den Mushi will keep in touch at any time. I will arrange the remaining 2,000 troops according to the situation."

"In addition, how much combat power can the samurai form in Wano Country's siege against Orochi?"

Shimotsuki Yasuie hesitated: "3,000."

Drag narrowed his eyes: "Then after overwhelming Orochi's power, I hope the samurai can also prepare large ships to support Onigashima at any time."

Shimotsuki Yasuie understood and bowed slightly: "Don't worry, the samurai will complete the elimination of Orochi as quickly as possible."

Drag nodded.

"This is the basic situation. Big Bear and I will be in charge of the mobility of the entire army. And we will go to support at the end and keep in touch at any time."

"After the large force arrives tomorrow, we will rest for a day. At the same time, I need to organize intelligence and start the action the day after tomorrow."

Rayleigh and Roger looked at each other.

"Then the middle level of the Beast Pirates will be handed over to the two of us."

Roger also smiled and moved his arms.

"This body is a little bit weak, otherwise I would like to fight with that little guy Kaido. He was still a little guy when he was in the Rocks Pirates."

...

Time passed and night fell.

The Revolutionary Army was arranged to live, and Dragon was still eating non-stop. Shimotsuki Yasuie took out the money from the bottom of the box.

In another courtyard, Shimotsuki Yasuie sat cross-legged, and Shimotsuki Hikoichiro, who was below him, was being questioned.

"So that Mr. Fire Seed has already gained a great reputation in the outer sea."

Shimotsuki Yasuie looked at the wanted order in his hand. The bounty of more than 2 billion was really amazing.

"Three years ago, it was said that Lord Oden would still dance the *dance for three years...Hikichiro, do you think that gentleman can really see the future?"

Hikichiro lowered his head and replied: "Mr. Spark should have this ability. I heard some from Mr. Rayleigh. When Mr. Sabaody Archipelago attacked the Celestial Dragons for the first time, he used three abilities."

"Really?"

Shimotsuki Yasuie tapped lightly with one hand, and his mind was full of thoughts.

After Shimotsuki Hikichiro's narration, plus the investigation of the Beasts Pirates in recent years, he also understood some of the situation in the outer sea.

The most basic thing is the newspapers from the outer sea. Under the closed-door system, these seagulls who delivered newspapers had long stopped coming to Wano Country, but in the past five years, they have recovered a little because of the Beasts Pirates.

The three abilities cannot be sorcery.

According to the intelligence, if a Devil Fruit ability user eats another fruit, the power of the devil will conflict in the body, and eventually the ability user will explode and die.

If it is not an ability user, it is not clear where the ability of teleportation is limited. The seastone, a specialty of Wano Country, may not be able to restrain the other side.

So after the war, there is only one way to go.

The difference in combat power is too big. These 4,000 people may not be the full strength of the other side. In addition to the ability to float and fly, it may be a warning to say it clearly before.

The natural barrier of Wano Country is useless.

The other side, Mr. Fire Seed wearing a mask, is confident that he can fight Kaido alone, and the other two people who have formed the ability to fly are equally powerful in perception.

One Rayleigh, and another guy wearing a mask.

His Highness Oden's expression should be recognized, so maybe he is a member of Roger's pirate group.

No matter how you calculate it, the power of the Revolutionary Army is stronger than Kaido.

Then there is only another way.

Thinking of this, Shimotsuki Yasuie looked at Hikoichiro, who was not Shimotsuki's main family.

"Just now, His Highness Oden and the Revolutionary Army have reached a cooperation, and you have heard the bottom line conditions."

Hikkoichiro did not speak, but his heart was already nervous.

Shimotsuki Yasunari continued, "After the revolutionary army liberated Wano Country, the daimyo and shogun were no longer hereditary. Four years is a very short period of time, and you have made a great contribution by bringing support to Wano Country this time."

"I am getting old, and I will be even older in four years. For the peace of Wano Country, I have never cared much about power. You are still young, and you have seen the vast world outside. Are you willing to serve as the daimyo of Hakumai in four years? Hikoichiro."

After the words fell, Shimotsuki Hikoichiro, who was kneeling and bowing his head, could not resist the restlessness in his heart no matter how much he wanted to stay calm.

The daimyo of Hakumai is the most powerful person under the Shogunate of Wano Country.

How should I answer?

Bringing the revolutionary army back to Wano Country is equivalent to saving Wano Country, right?

Then...

Just as I was about to make a move, a scene from a long time ago flashed in my mind. It was the era of the rebellion of the Kurozumi clan, and the past when they were purged after their failure.

The lord at the top has never been a soft-hearted person.

I am not the main family of Shimotsuki. The branch family abides by its duties. Samurai also have their own paths, and retainers are loyal to their lords.

I just thought that I wanted to commit seppuku!

"Bang."

His forehead touched the ground.

Hikoichiro Shimotsuki said, "It is the duty of retainers and samurai to be loyal to Wano Country, to the Kozuki clan, and to the Shimotsuki Daimyo. I dare not, and I have never thought of stealing a high position."

After the words fell, Hikoichiro looked up at Shimotsuki Yasuie, waved his hand and lifted his outer robe.

"If the master suspects that I dare to have other intentions, I am willing to commit seppuku to show my determination!"

The wakizashi was pulled out and turned to himself.

His eyes were slightly fixed but he did not hear any voice to stop him. After sighing inwardly, he used both hands to force the wakizashi straight into his abdomen.

"Bang!"

At the last moment, the short sword wakizashi was shot down.

Yasuie Shimotsuki looked unhappy: "You went out to sea to find foreign aid regardless of your own life. So many samurai died or disappeared. Only you successfully brought the aid back to Wano Country. How could I doubt you?!"

Hikoichiro Shimotsuki, who escaped death, knelt on the ground and said nothing.

Shimotsuki Yasuie continued: "What the Revolutionary Army said is suitable for overseas, but for Wano Country, many things are still too early. Whether it is Shimotsuki or the Lord Kozuki clan, they are of great significance to Wano Country."

Hikoichiro replied in a deep voice: "I understand. The samurai and Hakumai, no, and the people of the entire Wano Country will still be loyal to Kozuki!"

There was no recognition or reprimand. After a long silence, Shimotsuki Yasuie waved his hand and let him retreat.

In the quiet room, only Shimotsuki Yasuie sat quietly.

Hikoichiro cannot die, at least from now to the next one or two years, he cannot die.

This time it was just a test, and the result was also very good. Although there was a heartbeat, the other party obviously knew what the result would be.

The experience of the outer sea is enough to change a person, but how many people in Wano Country have been to the outer sea?

The Revolutionary Army's understanding of Wano Country is too shallow, and they don't know what Kozuki means to this country at all.

Even if Oden danced that dance for five years, there were still people among the people and samurai who believed in him.

Bringing in overseas knowledge and cognition, four years may not necessarily change Wano Country. At that time, as long as they manipulated it in secret, the Kozuki clan would continue to serve as generals and form a routine, then this would be the routine of Wano Country.

Hereditary succession is not allowed, but the generals of each generation are all Kozuki, which is not hereditary succession.

Shimotsuki Yasuie smiled.

He was never afraid of his opponents being reasonable, but he was most afraid of his opponents being unreasonable.
