Chapter 214: Free and Easy... Or...

When Oden heard that the navy had come to Wano Country in such a large force just to look for one person, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

He remembered the promise he had made to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Originally, after he and the Roger Pirates found the final island, they should have set off to return to the Whitebeard Pirates, but he broke his promise.

During this period of time, he kept wondering if the situation in Wano Country would be much better now if he had asked Whitebeard and others for help.

But he always held on to his fantasy.

Hopefully Orochi and Kaido will deliver on their promise.

So much so that he still firmly believes it now.

"Now that Kaido has left Wano Country with his men, what reason do you have to stand in our way?"

Borsalino said lazily, playing with his nails, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Could it be... that you have joined the Beasts Pirates?"

"But aren't you supposed to be Edward Newgate's man?"

Hearing this, Oden showed an expression of disbelief.

"How could Kaido leave Wano Country!"

He was busy dealing with Kuzan before and had no way to distract his attention to other battlefields.

Moreover, he had not observed Kaido's movements for a long time.

Zhan Taomaru held the giant axe and looked at Oden seriously.

"I am the most tight-lipped man in the world. Of course I won't tell you that we saw Kaido flying out of Wano Country on the way here."

Oden stopped fighting and looked at the other party in disbelief.

If Kaido has left, then what is the point of him fighting so hard.

The atmosphere in the air slowly calmed down, and complex emotions flashed in Oden's eyes.

"Qiang!"

Oden's two swords fell to the ground, and the sound of metal collision was particularly clear in the silence.

His body trembled slightly, as if he was trying to accept this shocking fact.

There was no point in him continuing to fight.

But soon, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. Kaido had left, which meant that the mountain pressing on Wano Country was gone.

They all no longer have to live under Kaido's oppression.

Borsalino smiled softly, as if he saw through Oden's thoughts.

"Wano Country may no longer be threatened by Kaido, but you..."

Borsalino paused and continued,

"You are a member of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Oden looked at Borsalino nervously.

"Why, are you navy planning to arrest me?"

"Although I'm not in good shape right now, I won't give up."

Borsalino shook his head.

"That guy Newgate is not easy to deal with, and it's not my job to arrest you."

He looked resistent, obviously not wanting to do such a thankless task, but he also didn't want a place like Wano Country to be controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates.

Oden sneered. His original agreement with Kaido was that when the time came, he could take those who were willing to go with him and leave Wano Country.

He is still happy and comfortable now.

What's the point of staying in Wano Country all day? His ambition has always been the distant sea.

"It seems that the arrival of your navy has also brought me new opportunities."

Oden said, a relieved smile on his face.

He looked into the distance, his eyes flickering with longing for the future.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Borsalino asked lazily, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"I will leave Wano Country to pursue my unfulfilled dreams."

Oden said firmly, his voice full of endless yearning.

Borsalino nodded slightly.

"Good luck to you then, Oden."

"But remember, the Navy will not allow any force to threaten the peace."

Oden nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Brother Newgate and I have no intention of dominating the world. We just want to live freely."

After saying that, Oden picked up his two swords, turned around resolutely, and walked away.

His back looked so determined, as if telling of his infinite expectations for the future.

Borsalino and Sen Taomaru looked at Oden's back, feeling somewhat complicated.

Although their mission was to find Jin'an, they also felt a little absurd when they saw a pure samurai like Oden.

Did the other party just give up on this country?

"Well, it's time for us to continue our mission."

Borsalino said, turning around and signaling to Momomaru.

Zhan Taomaru nodded, picked up the giant axe, and followed Borsalino.

The navy quickly organized themselves and continued to advance deeper into Wano Country.

Oden's figure gradually walked away, but his figure was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

They didn't know how to describe Oden.

Is it free and easy... or...

"The future of Wano Country is in your hands."

Oden whispered, and he felt as if he had put down a heavy burden and relaxed.

He didn't know whether his decision was correct.

But now that Kaido has left, everything in the future will become better thanks to the efforts of everyone in Wano Country.

......

"It's really troublesome..."

Borsalino said lazily, with a hint of boredom in his eyes.

He felt that the time in Wano Country was really annoying, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Uncle, there are so many pirates along the way."

Zhan Taomaru complained, raised the huge axe in his hand, and found that there were several tiny notches on the axe blade.

Obviously, the fighting during this period caused considerable damage to his weapons.

Kuzan walked in front to lead the way, observing the surroundings calmly.

He noticed that the members of the Beasts Pirates were wandering around various corners of Wano Country in a scattered manner, without any organization or discipline. They were wandering aimlessly like a pile of loose sand, completely lacking the majestic aura they had before.

"These guys have completely lost their way."

Kuzan said in a low voice, a cold gleam in his eyes.

Borsalino shook his head slightly, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that Kaido's departure has dealt a heavy blow to them."

Zhan Taomaru frowned slightly, swung his giant axe and chopped away a pirate who was trying to launch a sneak attack, and the axe blade made a low roar.

"Uncle, these guys are becoming more and more restless. We have to be careful."

"Yeah, it's really troublesome."

Borsalino sighed, but there was a hint of alarm in his eyes.

Although he was lazy, he still remained highly vigilant in this situation.

As they continued to move forward, pirates kept emerging from the shadows around them, trying to attack them.

However, Borsalino and Zhan Taomaru reacted very quickly, and each attack was easily resolved by them.

Kuzan calmly commanded the team, making sure everyone stayed alert and didn't give the enemy any chance to take advantage.

"Kuzan, are you sure this is the right way?"

Zhan Taomaru swung his giant axe, splitting a sneak attacking pirate in half, blood splattering on the ground. He asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Kuzan nodded.

"That's right. Jinan and Kaido fought right in front of here before, and Tianyue and the others also walked from this direction."

Borsalino said lazily,

"I hope this operation can be over as soon as possible. I don't want to stay in this place for too long."
