Chapter 416 Knock on Kozuki’s Door!
Inside the blacksmith shop, the dust has settled.
Kozuki Sukiyaki was the first sacrifice offered by Oleini to cleanse the country of Wano, and it also marked the beginning of the demise of the Kozuki lineage.
The Red Earl stood quietly beside Oleini, his figure stretched out by the dim light in the blacksmith shop. He reminded Oleini in a gentle voice:
"Although the Dark-Dark Fruit is powerful, it cannot be relied upon for a long time. Although your father is the best fruit ability user in Qinghai, his trump card will always be domineering and swordsmanship."
The Red Earl's meaning was very clear. He wanted to tell Oleini not to rely on the so-called devil fruit. It did not belong to him in the first place. Unless he reached the ultra-deep development of the second awakening and completely combined the fruit and the human into one, otherwise the fruit would always be just a fruit, and the human would always be just a human, not a god.
Oleini put away the miniature black hole on his palm, and the huge gravitational force tearing the void disappeared. Oleini looked like he had learned something and answered humbly:
"I remember everything Grandpa Reid said. Haki and swordsmanship are mine."
"Hmm~"
The Red Earl smiled with satisfaction.
Barrett said sullenly:
"You two, let's not talk about the fruit domineering for now, let's just talk about this Kozuki Sukiyaki. Did we come here just to talk nonsense with him for a long time and then kill him? Isn't this a bit redundant?"
Barrett didn't understand. He was a pure warrior, even purer than Garp. Oleini's series of mysterious operations made him feel Lex's style, but he still didn't understand some of Oleini's practices.
The Red Earl's eyes gradually turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, reprimanding his juniors:
"do you have any opinion?"
Barrett immediately stopped talking, his voice becoming even more depressed:
"of course not."
"Then shut up."
The Red Earl was too lazy to explain anything to the warrior Barrett, and Barrett didn't dare to ask the Red Earl to explain anything for him.
Not to mention that the Red Earl is a whole level stronger than him, just talking about the relationship between him and the Red Earl, it can be considered as half a master-disciple relationship. His domineering aura, his physical skills, and his fighting skills were all learned from the Red Earl.
Lex has always been a hands-off boss. After tricking Barrett over from the Land of Endless War, he just left him alone in Fenghuai Qianli. Therefore, the Red Earl is the real mentor who trained Barrett thoroughly.
Barrett respected and feared the Red Earl, so how could he dare to contradict him? He had to hold back his displeasure.
Oleini was born smart, and his mind-reading ability made it easy for him to detect emotions. He smiled and explained to Barrett:
"Uncle Barrett, your father asked you to come in person on this trip to Wano Country. This is a bit unreasonable in itself, don't you know?"
Upon hearing this, Barrett immediately nodded in agreement:
"That's right. It's really unnecessary for me to go to such a small country like Wano. I originally wanted to go there to suppress Elbaf. I heard that the giants are quite powerful and not as useless as Kozuki Oden."
Oleni laughed.
"Yeah, Uncle Barrett is right. It is indeed a waste of your talent for your father to send you to suppress Wano Country personally. But of course, your father has his considerations."
Barrett took the initiative to answer: "Mr. Lex wants me to protect you, young master. I can still see through this."
"That's right. That's why this trip to Wano Country has changed from being mainly for suppressing Wano Country to being mainly for my training. Father wants to use Wano Country and the Kozuki lineage to hone my ability to deal with things and my ability to adapt to changing circumstances. This is our main purpose at the moment."
Oleini saw it clearly. His intelligence had completely gone beyond the concept of a teenager. He could be seen as a mature teenager with little experience but a very sharp mind.
Barrett suddenly understood and said:
"Then young master, we have come all this way just to gain experience and take the initiative to deal with various people and families, instead of directly annihilating the Yue Man Clan. I see."
Oleini smiled but said nothing, nodding slightly.
Barrett's loyalty to Leon Rongguang is unquestionable. He questioned some of Oleini's practices, which was essentially for Oleini's own good. This shows that he treated Oleini as the real young master of Leon Rongguang. As long as something is not good for the young master, he will point it out. He has always been so decisive.
After understanding the deep meaning behind the trip to Wano Country, Barrett also became interested and immediately suggested:
"Oleini, in that case, why don't we visit the daimyo of each region in Wano Country one by one, just like we did with the Ugetsu family, select an agent for us in Wano Country, then eliminate the remaining daimyo families, and finally slaughter Kozuki, how do you think?"
Upon hearing this, the Red Earl was also somewhat moved.
His purpose is to train Oleini, and this is the top priority. As for Wano Country, Kozuki, Ugetsu and the like, he can destroy them all with ease.
The Red Earl was also waiting for Oleini's answer.
Facing the looks from Barrett and the Red Earl, Oleini shook his head and said:
"That's not necessary. At this point, some things are self-evident. Even Ugetsu, who is related to me, has resisted with his entire clan and sworn allegiance to Kozuki until death. The rest of the daimyo are no different."
"I once heard my father mention that the Kurozumi family, which has disappeared in Wano Country, was hostile to Kozuki. Now some of their descendants are lurking within the Kozuki family. However... it is too troublesome. It is better to take over Wano Country and develop it on our own than to support a Kurozumi family without any foundation."
Oleini turned and walked out of the blacksmith shop, followed by Barrett and the Red Earl.
Oleini looked towards the center of Flower City, which was the direction of Guangyue Mansion, and said calmly:
"So, there is no need to bother with so much effort. Just kill Guangyue directly."
As soon as these words were spoken, Tianyue Toki, who was still deep in the Kozuki mansion, felt her heart skip a beat and she had a dangerous intuition. She held Kozuki Hiyori in her arms worriedly, with worry and fatigue deep in her eyes.
Barrett's heart was shocked. At this moment, Oleini in his eyes almost merged into one with Mr. Lex.
It's not just the demeanor, conversation, and temperament, but also the style of behavior that is simply cast in the same mold, and the same ruthless and yet calm indifference.
If Oleini is not the future glory of the third generation, who can bear the title of the third generation glory of the Leon family?
Yunxiu?
Sorry, she only knows how to be cute and loves to eat strawberry cake~
Barrett's expression suddenly became serious, as if he was facing Lex himself, and he answered respectfully:
"As ordered!"
Oleini chuckled: "Uncle Barrett, you are too serious."
……
Soon, the three of them walked at a seemingly leisurely pace, and in just a few blinks of an eye, they had arrived near the Guangyue Mansion.
In front of the door, Kitsune Kin'emon was gathering people to track down the real culprit who massacred the entire Ugetsu family, but he turned around and saw the strange trio of Oleini.
Foxfire Kin'emon rubbed his eyes and muttered:
"Why do you look a bit like someone from the outside world? I seem to have seen you somewhere, in the newspaper?"
"Hey!~ You three, stop! This is Kozuki--"
Just as Kin'emon was about to call out to Oleini and the other two, a sword light so sharp that it almost tore through the void flashed by, and a long line of blood appeared on Kin'emon's neck.
The next moment, Kin'emon's body was torn apart!!! ~
