Chapter 500: Ending with a Laugh

...

"you!!"

Seeing that Kurozumi Orochi directly denied the agreement with him, Kozuki Oden fell into a brief daze. Thinking of his silent persistence over the past three years, he clenched his hands and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Wait! General, have you forgotten something important? Where is the ship? What about the Beasts Pirates repairing the ship? Didn't we make an agreement three years ago? Five years! Five years, they just need to wait for Kaido to repair the ship and then they will leave Wano Country..."

Kozuki Oden stepped forward and hugged Gel's Shank's feet, asking persistently.

"Guhoho, what nonsense are you talking about? Let's not talk about whether Kaido and I really made any agreement with you. You are so naive that you pin the fate of the entire country on a group of pirates who will keep their word? Don't you think it's outrageous? After all, you have been a pirate at sea for several years. How can you be so stupid that people would doubt whether you are pretending?"

"When did the Beasts Pirates' ship break down? When did they repair it? Have you checked? Haha, only an idiot like you would believe such a low-level lie!"

Gel raised an eyebrow and asked suspiciously.

"Tell me secretly, did you pretend to work hard in the main quest you received, but in the end you had no choice but to let Wano Country be ruled by a group of powerful pirates, so you forcibly created a copy for the savior to gain experience? If that's the case, we can talk about it. Maybe there's a chance for cooperation."

"I!…"

Kozuki Oden looked confused and had no idea what Gel was saying.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. It doesn't matter whether you are there or not. As long as..."

Gel was mumbling to himself.

"No! Impossible! This..."

Kozuki Oden still couldn't accept the fact that he had been being played like a monkey.

"Guhoho, so you are simply not capable of being the general of Wano Country! If you were allowed to be a general, your stupidity would surely plunge the entire country into dire straits. Fortunately, Wano Country still has me, Kurozumi Orochi! I want everyone in Wano Country to have a job and make money! With so many people, if we implement 996, they will definitely be a great labor force! Guhoho!!"

Gol kicked Kozuki Oden, who was holding his shoes, away and continued to taunt.

"Just be a passionate dancer and continue to use your naked dance to let the people of Wano Country see how stupid the Kozuki clan is!"

"You! You are the general of Wano Country! You actually helped a group of pirates to invade your own country! Enslaving your own people! Why did you do such a thing? Have you joined the Beasts Pirates?..."

Kozuki Oden said angrily.

"Hahahaha! Stop putting accusations on me. Joining the Beasts Pirates? You don't think too highly of Kaido! Or are you underestimating this general, you bastard?"

As "Kurozumi Orochi" spoke, the clothes on his body moved without wind, and his powerful aura could no longer be concealed. He slowly raised his hand and clenched it in the air, as if he had grasped the lifeline of Wano Country, and spoke loudly and passionately.

"Hmph! If the Beasts Pirates are smart, I will let them continue to be my guard dogs. If they don't obey, I will get rid of Kaido, the Beasts too!!"

"Every flower, every blade of grass, every tree, everything in Wano Country must! And can only belong to me! Guhahaha!"

Kozuki Oden and his retainers stared blankly at the Kurozumi Orochi who was gradually becoming a little unfamiliar in front of them!

"Wait! Wait! Big snake!"

Seeing Kurozumi Orochi about to leave after saying this, Kozuki Oden couldn't help but call out to stop him.

"Hmm? You have to call me General!!"

Kurozumi Orochi turned around and scolded in dissatisfaction.

"General, General!"

Kozuki Oden gritted his teeth and spoke word by word with anger in his eyes.

"General, please take back your order! Spare the people of Jiuli! This is my request! This is also my request!"

"Guhoho! Threatening me? You really made me laugh!"

Kurozumi Orochi opened his folding fan and fanned himself nonchalantly, revealing a mouthful of big square teeth and speaking.

"What are you threatening me with? You should at least come up with something that will make me afraid, right? If you can easily control me with just a few empty words, how can I survive in Wano Country? Let me teach you how to threaten others correctly."

"For example, how old is your wife... ahem, how old are your son and daughter? They should be at an adorable age! You must cherish them! Guhehehe!"

Gel grinned.

"Damn you Kurozumi Orochi! How despicable! You actually threatened Lord Oden with the lovely Lord Momonosuke and Princess Hiyori!!"

Kin'emon and other retainers pounded the ground angrily and cursed under their breath.

Kozuki Oden looked unhappy.

"Haha, I'll give you three days to invite all the adults in Jiuli who have hands and feet to come to the factory. You'd better obey me and don't wait for me to do it myself."

Gel thought about it and said with a heart-wrenching smile on his face.

"Oh, there's one more thing I almost forgot. I have already executed that Bao Wulang."

“Bao Goro?! You actually killed him…!”

Kozuki Oden's breathing began to become rapid, and the blue veins on his forehead slowly appeared.

Gel pointed at Kozuki Oden's nose with the folding fan in his hand and questioned him righteously.

"That's right! I killed him. What's wrong with that? Shouldn't I? As the ruler of Wano Country, shouldn't I make the gang leader who loaned money at high interest rates and ruined countless families accept legal sanctions? Shouldn't I uphold justice and rid the people of harm? Do you want me to be like you, fraternizing with these gangsters who oppress and bully the people all day long?"

"I…"

Kozuki Oden was left speechless by Kurozumi Orochi's sharp words.

The people of Jiuli who were hiding nearby and eavesdropping were also very surprised. It seemed that General Da She was not as bad as the rumors said. His words made sense. They even had the urge to applaud.

"So, even if I ask you, don't be so naive. It can really kill people! Also, don't try to be clever, because you really are not smart at all!"

"Guhohoho!! Let's go!"

The black charcoal snake walked away with a laugh, leaving behind a tall figure kneeling on the ground, motionless.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Kozuki Oden dug his ten fingers into the ground, thinking about the stupid things he had done in the past three years and the friends who paid the price of their lives because of his naivety. He could no longer hold back the tears of regret, which burst out like a flood.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Kozuki Oden roared towards the sky.

The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and it started to rain heavily.

Kin'emon and his companions also knelt beside him with solemn expressions, waiting quietly.

"Gentlemen!"

Kozuki Oden slowly stood up from the rain, turned around and looked seriously at the nine retainers who had followed him all the way.

"I have decided to defeat Orochi and Kaido!!!"

"...!"

The sound of rain is pattering!

"I will follow the orders of the Patriarch! We have been looking forward to this moment for a long time!"

The Nine Red Scabbards suppressed their inner excitement and responded in a deep voice.

Kozuki Oden lowered the corners of his mouth and said with a serious expression.
