Chapter 26: Leopard 5 offers his sword, Kaido recruits

After Jero's series of governance measures, the power of all the bell queen families was destroyed, and everyone was equally engaged in a series of labor reform activities such as planting potatoes.

When this news spread to other places, the other daimyos were shocked.

Originally, Kurozumi Orochi became the general, but he just changed the boss of Wano Country. The old rulers could still enjoy privileges in their own territory.

What Jello is doing now seems to be his intention to completely destroy these family forces and take away all their special powers.

Asking these family samurai from Wano Country to engage in productive labor is tantamount to cutting off their source of wealth and livelihood.

So they took the initiative to unite.

The three daimyo, Fuzuki Miyuki of Nozomi, Uzuki Tenra of Usagi, and Shirakumai daimyo Shimotsuki Yasuie, raised their armies at the same time and prepared to start a rebellion.

In order to increase their chances of winning, they decided to kill the weakest Kurozumi Orochi first, seize the Flower Capital, and then slowly drive the Beasts Pirates out of the country.

Therefore, "Flower Leopard Goro", known as the hero of Flower City and the gangster boss, became the most critical link in the implementation of this plan.

It is particularly important to get his support and help.

Soon, they passed the message to Leopard Goro through the Den Den Mushi "Smart Snail" unique to Wano Country, asking him to find a way to weaken Kurozumi Orochi's power in the Flower Capital, and then they could work together inside and outside to take over the Flower Capital.

Since Baogoro trusted Kanjuro very much, and Kanjuro was also quite powerful, he discussed the matter with him.

In the end, he decided to use the excuse of offering the knife to get close to the Kurozumi Orochi and then kill it.

After Kanjuro dealt with Leopard Goro, he told the news to Kurozumi Orochi in Orochi Castle.

"Damn you, you actually treat me as the weakest in the alliance."

"Now Lord Kaido dares to attack me in the Flower Capital. If Lord Kaido leaves in the future, I can't imagine what Leopard Goro would dare to do to me?"

"No, I have to tell this matter to Lord Kaido now and let him make the decision for me!"

The black charcoal snake, which had been pacing, stopped, slapped its head, and thought of a way to deal with the trouble that would come in the near future.

The subordinates quickly conveyed Kurozumi Orochi's intentions to Kaido, the King of Beasts.

"Haha, I can finally find some fun in my boring training life."

"Once this matter is resolved, I can take Zero back to Onigashima and bring Yamato out to experience the world."

Kaido, who had been training for a long time, heard that there would be another fight soon and said happily to the people around him.

During these two years, Kaido was shocked by Zero's growth. At the same time, Kaido was also wondering whether it would be good for Yamato's growth if he let her experience the cruelty of war in advance.

…………

In Hanano Leopard Goro's residence, dozens of loyal samurai sat around him with Kanjuro.

"I'm going to ask the snake to offer me my sword this time. No matter whether the assassination is successful or not, I can't come back."

"I hope you can take good care of His Highness Oden and my wife." Baogoro looked around and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of them!" Kanjuro said sincerely.

"With you here, I feel relieved!"

Bao Goro said with relief, feeling warm in his heart.

Among all the retainers of Lord Oden, Kanjuro is the most loyal and the only man who can be entrusted with important tasks.

…………

In Dashe City, inside the General’s Mansion.

Kaido sat in the main seat and Kurozumi Orochi sat on the side.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Hearing footsteps in the distance, Kaido knew that the person he had to wait for would soon be here.

Bao Goro, holding a long sword, walked on the long stairs with a nervous heart, his right eyelid twitching constantly.

When he just walked to the door, he saw Kaido's pair of bull horns sitting in the main seat from afar, and subconsciously wanted to walk back.

"Hahahaha, Bao Goro, Lord Kaido is also very interested in the sword you want to present!"

When the voice of Kurozumi Orochi sounded, Leopard Goro knew that he must not be cowardly at this time, so he walked in with gritted teeth.

"I got this precious sword by chance. It is not only extremely sharp, but also very finely crafted. I specially presented it to General Da She since he didn't have a suitable weapon."

Bao Goro knew that this assassination attempt would not succeed, so he took advantage of the situation and bent down in front of Kaido and the other man and said respectfully.

"Put it up here, let me take a look first."

Kaido looked Leopard Goro up and down and felt that this guy looked much more pleasing to the eye than Kurozumi Orochi, so he wanted to subdue him.

Bao Goro did as he was told and presented the sword to Kaido.

"It looks good, but how does it work?"

"Kurozumi Orochi, go down and try. Let me see the power of this precious sword."

While Kaido returned the sword to Leopard Goro, he looked at Kurozumi Orochi with a majestic gaze.

In Kaido's view, Kurozumi Orochi is just an dispensable tool. If he dies, he can help someone else take over, and the best candidate is the grown-up Zero.

Of course, his daughter Yamato is also good, but her strength is a little weak now.

"Lord Kaido, you must not try this sword recklessly!"

"You will die if you try!"

The charcoal snake shook its head like a rattle and refused to agree no matter what was said.

Now that I already know that Bao Goro wants to kill me, if I really try, it will be very painful to cut him with the knife.

"If you're told to try, just try it. Stop talking nonsense!"

After saying that, Kaido suddenly stood up, pulled Kurozumi Orochi down from his position, and threw him in front of Leopard Goro.

"Well, I'm looking forward to your knife!"

Kaido returned to the main seat and looked down at Leopard Goro and Kurozumi Orochi.

He wanted to observe Bao Goro's strength.

"This... Is Kaido trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

Bao Goro, who was holding the knife, was a little at a loss for a moment, and this possibility popped up in his mind.

The current Beasts Pirates are no longer the same as before, and it is natural for Kaido to be annoyed with Kurozumi Orochi, whose role is becoming less and less important.

However...killing Kurozumi Orochi was the original purpose of Leopard Goro's trip, so he was not vague.

"General Da She, I'm sorry for the offense!"

After Bao Goro finished speaking in a cold voice, his whole body was wrapped in Ryusakura Haki, and a dazzling purple light burst out from the blade.

"Hanazuki-sword style·Bow down with anger!"

With a loud shout, Leopard Goro slashed at the neck of the Kurozumi Snake, which had no time to react.

Without any surprise, the ugly and disgusting square head of the Black Charcoal Snake was chopped off and flew away.

After seeing Leopard Goro's swordsmanship and armed color domineering, Kaido jumped up from his seat excitedly.

These two things happen to be the shortcomings of Jero and Yamato!

"Good knife skills also make for a good knife!"

"Baogoro, I invite you to join the Beasts Pirates and serve as the training instructor of Armament Haki for all Beasts members. You won't refuse, right?"
