Chapter 707: Founding of a Nation (Part 2)
"Something seems to have happened there. These are bandits."
Just when Xiaoyu was full and thanking Robin, Shen Fei and his party suddenly saw a huge smoke rising in the sky in the distance ahead. The observation Haki unfolded and they immediately found that a village several miles away was attacked.
"Let's go and take a look." Then Shen Fei and his party immediately packed up their things, and Leona held Xiaoyu and rushed to the village quickly.
"Shutenmaru, it turned out to be that Ashura boy, one of the former nine red scabbards, but can you still rob things in such a village? Why not rob those rich towns or farms? Are you afraid of Kaido?"
The party soon came to the edge of the village. Through the conversation between those people, Shen Fei understood what happened. It was the nearby bandits who came to rob.
Jili Jianlou Village is a very poor village. Even the people in the village usually don't have enough food. It seems that they have come to such a place to rob more than once. It has to be said that this former one of the nine red scabbards is not very smart.
"These bastards." Looking at the chaotic village under the rampage of the bandits, Leona rushed out at the first time, aiming at a bandit who was swinging a knife at a woman holding a child on the ground.
"The Daimyo of Wano Country, the Daimyo of Kuri, is originally a country, but there are so many Daimyo, it's really chaotic." Looking at the bandits who were quickly defeated by the joint efforts of Leona, Akame, and Kurome, Shen Fei couldn't help but think of the pattern of Wano Country.
There are six major regions in the entire Wano Country, namely Kuri, Hime, Usagi, Suzuko, Hakumai, and Fujiyama. Of course, if the independent Kame Island is counted, it is seven major regions, but it is a pity that the people of Wano Country did not count Onigashima.
As a result, there are a total of six Daimyo in Wano Country, one for each region. Of course, the Daimyo of Fujiyama, that is, the Daimyo of Flower Capital, is the most powerful and has the right to enfeoff Daimyo. Kozuki Oden was enfeoffed as the Daimyo of Kuri.
From here, we can see the power structure of Wano Country, which is completely a feudal system. Under this system, was Wano Country really prosperous in those days? Shen Fei expressed great doubt.
Shen Fei is very clear about the legend of Kozuki Oden, and the same is true for the origin of the Nine Red Scabbards. Do such people really have the talent for governance?
"Damn it, who are you? How dare you go against us? Wait for me, we will not let you go." Faced with the ruthless attack of Akado and the other two, the remaining bandits finally got scared and began to flee outside the village. One of them seemed to be the leader of the bandits. After fleeing outside the village and away from Akado and the others, he immediately turned around and said harsh words to Akado and the others.
But the next moment, a stone pierced his chest with a whistling sound. It was Leone who did it. If it was Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates here, these bandits would probably just be driven away.
Unfortunately, Leone and the others would not do this. They were born as night raid killers, and they still retained the habits of the killers. Once they took action, they would never show mercy to the enemy. Compared with them, the bandits were far behind.
Such ruthless means frightened not only the bandits, but also the civilians who were rescued on the side, just like the situation that Feng Baobao faced after killing all the bandits.
For this kind of thing, Leone smiled helplessly and then walked back. As for Akame and Hei Tong, they didn't care about the villagers' thoughts at all.
"Xiaoyu, why are you here?" However, not everyone was afraid to hide in the room, and they closed their eyes. A beautiful woman with dark blue hair, who looked a bit like Esdeath, fair skin, delicate face, tall figure, and wearing a light yellow kimono came over. Judging from her appearance alone, she was a beauty who was not inferior to Akame and others.
"Aju." Xiaoyu was very happy when she saw this beauty, and immediately threw herself on Aju's legs and hugged her tightly.
"She's really beautiful, but it's such a waste."
Looking at the beautiful woman squatting on the ground and asking Xiaoyu what's going on, Shen Fei secretly shook his head. Shen Fei naturally knew who this person was. Kikunojo, one of the Nine Red Scabbards. Of course, this identity is nothing to Shen Fei. The key is that he is a man.
A man who has attracted the favor of many men with his appearance. It is said that some of the Nine Red Scabbards liked him when they didn't know his real gender.
A man is more beautiful than most women. How can those women feel? In comparison, his eldest brother Yizang is a little easier to accept.
Both brothers are beautiful women, but they like to wear women's clothes. It has to be said that this is really a coincidence.
"Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyu." After talking with Xiaoyu, Aju immediately took Xiaoyu with her, glanced at Shen Fei and his group, and said to the only male Shen Fei. Although she was talking to Shen Fei, her attention was always on Akagi.
Shen Fei was not surprised by this. After all, what Akagiri was holding in her hand now was the Black Sword Shusui, the national treasure of Wano Country. Ryuma was known as the God of Swords in Wano Country, and there are still shrines dedicated to him and the Black Sword Shusui.
As one of the Nine Red Scabbards, Kikunosuke naturally couldn't fail to recognize this precious sword. Although from the perspective of the sword's level, the Black Sword Shusui is only one of the twenty-one great swords, not one of the twelve supreme great swords, but for the people of Wano Country, the Black Sword Shusui is even more powerful than the supreme great swords in terms of status.
The legend of the swordsman Ryuma slaying a dragon is not a legend in Wano Country, but a fact. At that time, Wano Country suddenly encountered a dragon raging and suffered heavy losses. At the critical moment, Ryuma slayed the dragon and saved Wano Country.
The dragon that Ryuma dealt with at that time was not as powerful as the dragon that Zoro encountered in Punk Hazard in the original work. Originally, the Black Sword Shusui was expected to become the supreme great sword. It seems that it was because of this battle that Ryuma had no chance to turn the Black Sword Shusui into the supreme great sword.
But now it has fallen into the hands of Akahime, and this goal can be achieved in time.
"You're welcome, we just met." Shen Fei said, and immediately turned his body to the back, looking at the bandits who had gone and returned. In front of these bandits, a black bull was running fast, leaving a deep pit on the ground with every step.
On the black bull, there was a fat figure with pink curly hair and exposed chest. This person was lying on the fast-running bull, his body did not move at all, and he drank the wine in his left hand from time to time.
"You guys leave quickly, that's Jiu Tianwan, the boss of the thieves around here." After seeing the person coming, Aju immediately persuaded Shen Fei and others to leave quickly.
"He is my prey." Before Shen Fei could speak, Esdeath suddenly jumped into the air and met Jiu Tianwan who was rushing over.
"Uh." Shen Fei looked at Esdeath who rushed out, and swallowed the words that he wanted to ask Akame to take action. The opponent was one of the Nine Red Scabbards, a famous swordsman in Wano Country. Such an opponent was a very suitable opponent for Akame now. However, since Esdeath had taken action, it could only be forgotten. Fortunately, Akame didn't care about these things.
"Humph."
Esdeath fell to the ground, looked at the black bull rushing over, snorted coldly, stepped on the ground with his left foot, and in an instant, a large number of ice spikes appeared on the ground nearly 100 meters in front of him. The sudden attack instantly penetrated the body of the black bull.
When it was about to pierce Shutenmaru lying on the black bull, Shutenmaru reacted immediately, quickly jumped into the air, and avoided the ice spikes.
"You." Shutenmaru, who jumped into the air, immediately became furious after seeing the situation below, and his eyes flashed with strong murderous intent, because Esdeath's attack killed all the younger brothers following him.
Feeling Shutenmaru's murderous intent in the air, Esdeath snorted again, and a huge ice cone suddenly drilled out of the ground in front of him, rushing towards Shutenmaru in the air.
Boom.
Shutenmaru in the air immediately pulled out the sword at his waist, and his hands turned black while holding the handle and the tip of the sword. In an instant, the sword also turned black, and then blocked the attack of the huge ice cone with the blade of the sword.
However, although the attack was blocked by him, the powerful force carried by the ice cone knocked Shutenmaru into the distance. Looking at Shutenmaru who was knocked away, Esdeath immediately chased after him.
"I hope she won't waste too much time."
Everyone knew Esdeath's strength very well, so they were not worried. Then they found a clean place outside the village, sat down to rest, and waited for Esdeath's return.
Originally, Xiaoyu invited them to go to the village together, but thinking of the attitude of those people in the village before, Shen Fei and others would naturally not make trouble for themselves.
"Xiaoyu, you have been out for a long time, it's time to go back, otherwise your master will be worried." After seeing the attitude of Shen Fei and his group, Aju's eyes flashed with a trace of worry, and then immediately said to Xiaoyu.
Although Shutenmaru's style of doing things has returned to the past, Aju and Shutenmaru were colleagues and partners after all, and with the legend of the Nine Red Scabbards, they naturally didn't want him to get into trouble. From the attitude of Shen Fei and others, we can know that they have absolute confidence in their companions.
Originally, he could leave directly, but he was a little worried about Xiaoyu, so he wanted Xiaoyu to leave first.
"Xiaoyu, are you going back? Take these food back first. I think things will get better here soon." Robin heard that Xiaoyu was going back and immediately took out some food and handed it to Xiaoyu.
"Master, I know. Thank you. Xiaoyu will definitely remember you." Xiaoyu didn't want to leave, but when she thought of her master and looked at the delicious food in her hand, she immediately decided to go back and bring the food to her master.
Tengushan Feiche is Xiaoyu's master. He also seems to be a famous caster. He owns the second generation Kitetsu, one of the twenty-one great swords.
Before, Shen Fei might have some interest in this sword, but now he has no interest at all. Even if he wants to collect it, he wants the supreme great sword, and there are two in Wano Country, the weapons that Kozuki Oden once owned, Tianyu Yuzan and Yanma.
The scars on Kaido's body were caused by Kozuki Oden using these two swords. Ame-no-Habe-slash is known as a famous sword that can even cut through the sky, and Enma is even more powerful. It is a famous sword that can automatically absorb the user's Armament Haki and then release it.
To a certain extent, Enma is also a demon sword, because if this sword is not tamed, it will endanger the user's life. Enma has no restrictions on absorbing Armament Haki. Once it absorbs too much, it is equivalent to a ninja using too much chakra.
If the first generation of Kitetsu did not really exist, Shen Fei would probably regard this sword as the first generation of Kitetsu.
Since he came to Wano Country, Shen Fei would naturally not let go of these two swords. As for what to give to Zoro, isn't there a second generation of Kitetsu? If the first generation of Kitetsu is obtained and given to Zoro, then Zoro will get all the swords of the Kitetsu series.
Of course, it is hard to say whether Zoro can control the three Kitetsu swords. After all, they are demon swords. Ordinary people cannot even control the third generation of Kitetsu. If Zoro can fully control the three Kitetsu swords, his strength is definitely a top swordsman, and he can compete with Hawkeye.
"I really didn't expect that men would be so beautiful." After Aju took Xiaoyu away, Leona said with some emotion. Shen Fei had said the origin of the identity of the Nine Red Scabbards. After the group saw him, they knew the identity of Aju.
However, Shen Fei did not want to attack Aju. He was not Kurozumi Orochi. Because he was afraid of the Nine Red Scabbards, he must catch the Nine Red Scabbards in one fell swoop.
In fact, the Nine Red Scabbards are now in name only. Twenty years may be just a few minutes for people like Kin'emon who traveled through time, but it is different for others, such as Ashura Douji.
Now that Foxfire Kin'emon is dead, after killing Ashura Douji, there will be two less Red Scabbards. Momonosuke has become a giant child. The prophecy of the Kozuki clan has long been shattered by his intervention and the butterfly effect.
Momonosuke, who did not get the artificial devil fruit, became one of Caesar's giant test subjects.
"The battle over there is over, let's go."
Not long after Aju and Xiaoyu left, Shen Fei and others immediately sensed that the movement caused by the battle between Esdeath and Ashura Douji stopped, and immediately understood that the battle was over.
Now Esdeath's strength is already at the level of the Four Emperors. Although Ashura Douji is a great swordsman, he is still a long way from the top great swordsman like Hawkeye. Facing the ability of the ice system, if Esdeath did not want to end the battle immediately, I am afraid the battle would have ended long ago.
Arriving at the battlefield between Esdeath and Ashura, it has become an ice field covering a kilometer in radius. In the ice field, you can see Ashura's face frozen with shock and disbelief. In his right hand is a broken sword, but what surprised Shen Fei is that he is not dead at this time.
"What a pity for a famous sword." As one of the Nine Red Scabbards, the sword in Ashura's hand is naturally not an ordinary one.
"Hei Tong, his strength is not bad, I'll leave it to you."
"Understood."
After Esdeath finished speaking, Hei Tong immediately pulled out her imperial weapon, the Eight Chambers of the Dead, and pierced through the frozen Ashura with one sword.
"Esdeath is really good to her subordinates." At this time, Shen Fei understood why Esdeath did not kill the other party, in order to leave it to Hei Tong as a subordinate.
