Chapter 11 Momonosuke dies! Foreshadowing
"Okay, okay, good son!"
Jello took Momonosuke's hand and said to Kiku with a smile: "Kikunosuke, please step down first. I want to reward Momo well!"
"award?"
"What a reward!"
When Kozuki Momonosuke heard that his father was going to give him a reward, he trembled with excitement.
"I'll take you to a place where there are no worries!"
Jello said with a smile. He did not lie to Momonosuke, so his expression was very natural.
Without worries, isn’t that paradise?
"Great!"
Kozuki Momonosuke cheered.
"But... Lord Mita, are you going out right after you come back?"
A look of doubt flashed across Kikunosuke's face.
He felt something was not right about Lord Oden's return this time.
In response to Kikunosuke's questioning, Jello patted him on the shoulder condescendingly.
"Well... I already know about Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi. Wano Country is not safe right now."
"After sending Momoko away, I will personally end all the troubles in Wano Country within three years!"
In order to dispel Kikunosuke's last concerns about his identity, Jello released his domineering aura while speaking.
"Yes, Lord Oden!"
Kikunosuke felt a familiar sense of oppression from Jero and respectfully obeyed the order and retreated.
Kikunosuke, who grew up in Wano Country, had only felt this kind of oppression from Kozuki Oden, so he no longer questioned Zero's identity.
"Ha, Momonosuke, follow closely."
After sending Kikunosuke away, Jello took Momonosuke away from Oden Castle and went to a small border town.
There were also Kurozumi Orochi's men stationed there, and they were the ones who had shot and injured the lady with a bow and arrow.
"Ok!"
Kozuki Momonosuke wished he could grow wings and quickly escape from Kuri.
He was very satisfied with his father's arrangement.
Momonosuke had long been fed up with the life he led in Kuri and Toki-san, where even the basic needs of food and clothing were elusive.
Based on his life experience, the happiest time he had was on the pirate ship.
Not only can he eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, but he can also openly flirt with the group of beautiful nurses under the bearded pirate captain.
At the very least, there is no need to worry about being assassinated by Kurozumi Orochi's men.
"Father, can I still return to Wano Country in three years?"
As they were getting farther and farther away from Oden Castle, Kozuki Momonosuke thought of something and suddenly asked behind Zero.
Jello glanced at him with disdain.
Jello understood Momonosuke's thoughts very well.
This is because he wants me to wait until Wano Country is stable before taking him back to be the young master.
He thought he could just contribute nothing and get status, position and rights for free!
Why are you talking in your sleep in broad daylight?
In order to punish him, Zero grabbed Momonosuke's back, lifted him up suddenly, and threw him hard into the samurai base stationed nearby.
Kurozumi Orochi's men were drinking and playing cards when they heard a "crack" and Momonosuke's body broke through the roof and plunged into the ground.
"Enemy attack!"
The samurai who heard the noise first shouted loudly and kicked over the losing card table. The ronin samurai nearby heard the noise and rushed to support.
Wait for them to come hurriedly with knives in hand.
When I got closer,
“…This guy seems to be the stupid kid from the Kozuki family!”
A samurai who had participated in the assassination of Momonosuke saw the upside-down onion firmly rooted in the soil and immediately recognized its identity.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Momonosuke's thigh and pulled him out with mud like a carrot.
"It really is!"
After seeing the true appearance of Mount Lu, everyone nodded.
“Pooh, pooh, pooh…”
Momonosuke Kotsuki, who was able to breathe again, subconsciously spat out some of the mud in his mouth, but suddenly found that the warriors around him were looking at him with aggressive eyes. He swallowed the remaining mud and didn't dare to breathe.
The leader of this group of warriors looked up and down at Momonosuke, who was covered in mud, with the same gaze that an old pervert would use to stare at a young lady.
"It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort at all!"
"I didn't complete the task assigned by that master, and I didn't know how to report back. I didn't expect you to come here alone."
The samurai leader came up to Momonosuke and asked with a cruel smile: "Tell me, how do you want to die? Lingchi or a headshot?"
"I...I don't want to die!"
Momonosuke finally recognized the person in front of him. He was the leader of the group that attacked Oden Castle some time ago.
"There is no such option. If you don't choose carefully, I will let you experience them one by one!"
The samurai leader swung his sword left and right at Momonosuke's neck.
The bright red blood flowed down the silver-white samurai sword, and Momonosuke Kotsuki, feeling the pain, was so frightened that he became incontinent.
"What a dirty idiot."
The samurai leader smelled the stench and looked at Momonosuke with disgust.
At this moment, Momonosuke was trembling and his mind was blank.
"If you don't choose, I'll choose for you!"
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. I'll start by torturing you from your ears!"
After saying that, the cold light of the samurai sword in his hand flashed, and Momonosuke's ear fell to the ground instantly.
“Ah ...
“It hurts…it hurts so much…!”
Kotsuki Momonosuke, who had turned into "one ear", covered his wound, cried heart-wrenchingly, and let out a wailing sound like a pig being slaughtered.
"Hahahaha, this is the heir of the Kozuki family!"
"How shameful!"
The samurai who were watching the show on the side mocked Momonosuke just right and dealt him a mental blow.
They are all Kurozumi Orochi's men, and have long been dissatisfied with the Kozuki family.
"Does it hurt now? There's more pain to come."
After saying that, the samurai leader grabbed Momonosuke's hair and mocked him.
"Damn!!"
Kozuki Momonosuke clenched his fists very tightly and looked at the samurai around him with a venomous snake-like gaze.
If looks could kill, Momonosuke in this state could kill everything in seconds!
Of course, he also imagined in his mind that he would suddenly jump up in the next second and slap all the guys who humiliated him to death with one palm.
I don’t know if Momonosuke was really deceived by his own rich imagination or what, but he really dared to raise his hand and slap the face of the samurai leader in front of him.
Everything was in vain. The samurai leader was quick-witted and grabbed Momonosuke's hand, then stomped on it hard on the ground.
"You dare to attack me? Beat me! Beat me to death!"
"Crush the Kozuki family under your feet!"
The warrior leader was not satisfied with fighting alone, so he called on the people around him to join him.
"Stop, don't fight anymore!"
"Do you know who my father is?"
"My father is Kozuki Oden, the Daimyo of Kuri, and the future Shogun of Wano Country!"
"If father knew about this, he would not let you go!"
Momonosuke quickly brought out the name of his father.
It would have been better if he didn't mention the name "Kozuki Oden". After he mentioned it, the surrounding samurai fought even harder, as if they were injected with chicken blood.
After a fight between many people, the samurai were sweating profusely, and Kozuki Momonosuke was beaten to the point of "becoming a human being".
"Pick up your ears, pick up your ears!"
The samurai leader picked up the handkerchief on the table, wiped the sweat off his face, pointed at Momonosuke's nose and yelled at him.
"My father is invincible in the world..."
"He will come to me soon, and none of you can escape..."
These were Momonosuke's last words.
...............
"You don't have to be the Pirate King, but Momonosuke must die!"
Jello used his Observation Haki to sense everything not far away.
After confirming that the source of all evil, Kozuki Momonosuke, had been completely eliminated, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Good job!"
