Chapter 12: Whatever the beast sets its eyes on will belong to the beast sooner or later

After Momonosuke was cut into pieces, the samurai thoughtfully prepared a cremation for him and placed his ashes in an exquisite small box. The group successfully completed their mission and returned to the Flower Capital to report to Kurozumi Orochi.

At that time, Kurozumi Orochi was showing off to Kaido in the Shogun's Mansion about his victory over Kozuki Oden without any injury.

"I used to think Kozuki Oden was a big shot, but I didn't expect him to be a pervert with revealing clothes and strange fetishes."

"Before our Beasts Pirates even made a move, you, Kurozumi Orochi, had already captured them."

Kaido, who was sitting in the main seat, raised his glass and drank it all, then said viciously.

Because he was obsessed with training and came late, on the day when Kozuki Oden went to settle accounts with Kurozumi Orochi, Kaido transformed into a blue dragon and hovered high in the sky above the Flower Capital, silently watching everything that happened below.

From his perspective, Kozuki Oden first chopped down several guards guarding the Shogun's Mansion, then broke into the Shogun's Mansion and yelled like crazy.

Just when Kaido decided to take action, the naked Kozuki Oden left in shame and ran to the streets of the Flower Capital to dance like crazy.

Even though Kaido was knowledgeable and experienced, he was still disgusted by this scene, leaving him with a great psychological trauma. The visual damage was no less than real damage.

"Hahahaha, Kozuki Oden is such a fool. We just used a little trick to not only successfully repel him, but also bring disgrace to the Kozuki family."

"We won this battle!"

While waving to the courtesan beside him to fill Kaido's glass, Kurozumi Orochi stood up, opened the window of the attic, and looked down at Kozuki Oden who was dancing in the street.

There were people arranged by Kurozumi Kuroshin on both sides of the street, who regularly threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at Kozuki Oden, trying to completely discredit the Kozuki family.

Even though he was despised by the people around him, Kozuki Oden still acted as if nothing had happened, jumping around with his teeth bared, like a chimpanzee with well-developed limbs.

"Don't be happy too soon. The daimyo like Linghou and Hakumai are not easy to deal with either." Kaido raised his wine glass and reminded Orochi.

After hearing this, Kurozumi Orochi closed the window, returned to his seat, and looked at Kaido with a flattering smile.

"With the Beasts Pirates here, I don't think those guys can cause any big trouble."

After hearing this, Kaido looked at Kurozumi Orochi with contempt, who was acting like a grandson in front of him. Naturally, he knew the other party's intention, but it was exactly what he wanted.

"A mere name can be destroyed with a snap of a finger!"

"But...what benefits can our Beasts Pirates gain from this?"

Kaido, holding a wine glass, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked the Kurozumi Orochi in front of him.

"The Flower Capital belongs to me. As long as we can conquer other places, Lord Kaido can use them as he pleases!"

"Do you think this is a good deal?"

Kurozumi Orochi smiled and rubbed his hands. He felt that Kaido had no reason to refuse.

Unexpectedly, Kaido suddenly attacked.

"Use it casually? Remember this..."

"In Wano Country, anything that the beasts set their eyes on will sooner or later belong to the beasts!"

Kaido widened his eyes and roared at Kurozumi Orochi.

What the Beasts Pirates want is not the right to use, but the ownership.

If you want to use the power of beasts to destroy other daimyos in Wano Country, you can, but the conditions must be made clear.

After all, Kaido promised Zero that all the territory conquered by Zero would belong to Zero.

If at that time Kurozumi Orochi were to send his men to Zero's territory and get in the way, wouldn't that make Zero lose face?

So when talking about cooperation, Kaido will say something ugly first.

Hearing this sudden roar, Kurozumi Orochi broke out in a sweat. Being so afraid of death, how could he dare to refuse Kaido's conditions in person?

"Yes Yes Yes!!"

"You ask the big snake to fart, but the big snake will never hold it in. Everything will be arranged by the beasts!"

"Orochi just wants the Flower Capital and the position of General!"

Kurozumi Orochi lowered his head and said respectfully.

Even though Kaido is not as strong as Kozuki Oden at this moment.

But it is obvious that Kurozumi Orochi, who was so arrogant when facing Kozuki Oden just now, is as humble as possible in front of Kaido.

"I will soon build a weapons factory in Wano Country to strengthen and expand the strength of the Beasts Pirates."

"You have to find a way to help me."

"After all, you are the general of Wano Country. Those stupid guys listen to you very much!"

Seeing Orochi acting like a grandson, Kaido was very satisfied, and even his tone of voice slowed down.

"How about...I will issue an imperial edict to the whole country of Wano tomorrow, saying that I, Kurozumi Orochi, invite Lord Kaido to serve as the Protector of Wano."

"In the culture of Wano Country, this position has a status no less than that of the general. What do you think, Lord Kaido?"

Kurozumi Orochi asked kindly.

Orochi only wanted to indulge in pleasure. In order to live a life of drunkenness and debauchery in the Flower City, he even did such a ridiculous thing as making a pirate the protector of the country.

"Well, I'll do as you say!"

Kaido got a satisfactory answer and his joy was beyond words.

"Hahaha, Fu Lu Shou, I'll leave this matter to you. I'd like to toast our Protector of the Nation Ming Wang once again!"

...............

The news that Kurozumi Orochi invited the pirate Kaido to serve as the Protector of Wano Country soon reached the ears of other daimyo.

"This is outrageous! It's like digging the ancestors of Wano Country out of their graves and slapping them in the face!"

"The position of Wano Country's Protector Mingwang has now fallen into the hands of a pirate."

"Damn it, Black Charcoal Snake!!!"

Under the heavy snow, the Suzuho daimyo Shimotsuki Ushimaru, who was wearing animal skins to keep warm, looked at the imperial edict in his hand and gnashed his teeth until his whole body was shaking.

Not far from the Suzuho area, a pirate ship was sailing on the sea. Standing on the bow was a creature that looked like a fishman, and that was the great pirate Gekko Moriah.

"Reporting to Captain Moria, the Bell Queen area is now in sight."

A pirate minion put down his telescope and said excitedly.

"Well, that's great. I heard that the Tomb of the Ten Thousand Years in the Suzuho area buries many ancestors of the wealthy families of Wano Country. Once we empty the tombs of the Wano people, maybe we can make a fortune!"

When he thought about digging up other people's ancestral graves soon, Moonlight Moria rubbed his hands and was as happy as a child weighing more than 200 pounds.

In the Hakumu area, in the Daimyo Prefecture, Shimotsuki Yasuie looked at the imperial edict with a frown and gritted teeth.

"The black charcoal snake can no longer hide. Its true colors have been exposed."

"There must be something fishy about General Sukiyaki's succession!"

Shimotsuki Yasuie looked at his attendants on both sides, and they both nodded in agreement.

"No, we can't just sit there and watch Kurozumi Orochi push Wano Country step by step into an irretrievable situation."

"Wait until Lord Oden returns, then head to the Flower Capital to settle accounts with Kurozumi Orochi!"

In order to help his good friend Kozuki Oden, Shimotsuki Yasuie had already put his own life and death aside.

"Master Kang..."

"Actually... His Highness Oden has already returned."

The attendants grumbled in a low voice.

"what?"

"Where is Lord Oden?"

Shimotsuki Yasuie asked excitedly. After suffering for so long, he finally heard good news.

"His Majesty Oden is currently staying in the Flower Capital."

"What are you doing in the Flower Capital?"

Kang Jia asked impatiently.

"Dance...dance naked..."

The follower spoke in a low voice, tilted his head and scratched his hand in embarrassment.

"How can you not ask me to help you with something like killing a giant snake... Wait... I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"

Shimotsuki Yasuie was so shocked that his eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears.

"Dancing naked, Lord Oden is dancing naked on the streets of the Flower Capital!"

"There are many Flower City residents watching around, and they even threw things at Lord Oden..."
