Chapter 172: The Warrior's View of Beasts

"Beasts? How could they be in Wano Country?" The reason why Kozuki Toki knew about Beasts was very simple. He heard from the people of Whitebeard and Roger's pirate group that Whitebeard had attended a wedding of Beasts at that time, and Roger also said that he had been there. In addition, during the journey to the New World, Roger also said that he would go to the territory of Beasts to ask for wine, but he missed it because they were not on the same route. But they didn't expect that Beasts would be in Wano Country? What's going on?

"Madam Toki, this is a long story. A few years ago, General Kozuki Sukiyaki passed away. At that time, Lord Oden was not there. For some reason, Lord Sukiyaki actually let a guy named Kurozumi Orochi become the acting general. Then after this Kurozumi Orochi took office, he found Beasts not long after, claiming to be an ally. Many samurai and underworld heroes were persecuted by this group of hateful guys." Kin'emon gritted his teeth and said.

This is what Kin'emon thinks of the beasts. In fact, this is also the view of many samurai and gangsters in Wano Country. We live well here, why do you suddenly come out to help those untouchables? They are bullied? They deserve it, why are we not bullied? Isn't it because they are too weak?

This is the idea formed by the isolation and class solidification of Wano Country. Ordinary people have only the fate of being exploited for a lifetime. The reason why the gangsters in Wano Country can have such a high reputation, and even some gangster leaders can become some daimyos, and even the guests of the generals, is because this is the only way for ordinary people to get through. After all, it is difficult to become a samurai. If you don't have enough physics to become a mountain bandit, you will be wiped out by others at any time. But to become a gangster, you just need to be ruthless. How ruthless? I think I am going back to exploit those ordinary people like myself before.

If this happened in another place, there might have been an uprising long ago. Regardless of whether it would succeed or not, at least there would be people who would resist. However, the weird thing about Wano Country is that there is no such thing. Everyone here is a "ninja". This situation has been tolerated for 800 years, and no one has stood up to oppose it. Kozuki Oden's desire to go out to sea is the most rebellious behavior, but it is normal. If it were not for this situation, when Kozuki Oden did that kind of thing, someone would have fought Kozuki Oden regardless of life and death, and there would not be any strange man.

Maybe someone said it was wrong? Didn't someone go to Kozuki Sukiyaki to complain? Kozuki Oden was also punished for it.

This incident can be said to be a way for Kozuki Sukiyaki to shut people up. Of course, Sukiyaki didn't shut up the people, but the mouths of those daimyo and the like. He sent his son to a place to be a daimyo. No matter how well he did, he would have something to say. If he did well, it would naturally become a merit in the future. If he didn't do well, he could be recalled and reprimanded and sit back as the so-called son of the general. There was nothing wrong, just a play. However, what Sukiyaki didn't expect was that Kozuki Oden actually ran away and became a pirate because of this. Then the Kurozumi family rose up, and the real and fake Sukiyaki came, turning Kurozumi Orochi into the acting general, and then accidentally attracted the World Government and the Beasts, and it became what it is now.

"Hey? But what we heard from the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates before were all good things?" Inuarashi asked with some curiosity. In the past few years, they have been following Kozuki Oden outside and know very little about Wano Country, but he always feels that the beasts are not such domineering people, and just now in the harbor, it feels that the other party is just following the regulations. The beasts' public security management regulations are obviously a very detailed thing.

"You must have been deceived. Those outsiders are not good people. Humph, several of my brothers were captured by them, and I don't know when they can be rescued. Several people were killed by them. How can such guys be considered good people!" Kin'emon was still mumbling bad things about the beasts, but Inuarashi found that only Raizo and Kanjuro echoed Kin'emon's words, while Kawamatsu and Kikunojo were silent.

"Speaking of which, where is Ashura Douji? Why didn't I see him?" Inuarashi didn't believe Kin'emon's words completely, but as a comrade, he didn't say it on the spot, but chose to change the subject.

"You mean him? Because Lord Oden went to sea, he returned to the mountains and became the leader of the bandits again. If he didn't manage them, it would be easy for them to get into trouble. Because the matter was urgent, I didn't go to find him before leaving. I can go to find him later." Kawamatsu, who was a fishman but called himself a kappa, explained to Inuarashi. As for Cat Viper, he was now cursing the beasts with Kanjuro and others, and didn't pay attention to Ashura Douji's situation at all.

"Okay, call him over when the time comes, after all, he hasn't seen the lady yet." Inuarashi nodded and said.

"I wanted to ask before, where is my brother?" Kikunojo, who was obviously a man but more beautiful than many women and wearing a female kimono, asked Inuarashi.

"Izo? He's still on Whitebeard's ship. At that time, Lord Oden went to Roger's pirate group from Whitebeard's ship, but Izo did not follow. Instead, he chose to stay and sail with Whitebeard." Inuarashi said slowly, and his words made Kikunosuke breathe a sigh of relief. He was very worried that something had happened to his brother. After all, he knew nothing about the open sea, and he didn't know what kind of situation he might encounter. Although samurai are proud to die in battle, as brothers who grew up together singing and selling songs, he still thinks that it is best if nothing happens to him.

"We will arrive at Oden Castle in a little while, and then we won't have to see those damn beasts. They have been getting more and more rampant recently. You can see them everywhere except the Flower Capital, such as Kuri, Hakumai, Kimi, Udon, and Linghou. They call themselves patrol teams. They are really disgusting guys." Raizo, with a big face, didn't have any good feelings towards the beasts. After all, the beasts were nominally allies of Kurozumi Orochi, and his mortal enemy Fukurokuju was under the command of Kurozumi Orochi. He hated the beasts and the whole family.

"By the way, I heard about a quarry before? What is that?" Cat Viper couldn't help asking after watching Kikunojo helping Kozuki back to the cabin. He was so suffocated that it was difficult for a guy like him to hold back his words.

"The quarry! That's the true face of the beasts. They capture people everywhere and throw them into the quarry to help them dig seastone. Without exception, the people who go in are all powerful samurai or gangsters. Moreover, they have built a factory to work for them." Speaking of this, Kin'emon immediately became excited. He was almost caught more than once. If he hadn't run fast, he would have been working in it now, but many of his brothers have been in.

"Yes, those guys are like this. They act according to the rules on the surface, but in fact they just want to capture strong people to do hard labor for them. They are definitely evil and treacherous!" Kanjuro, known as "Ximei's monster", said this in his actor's voice. As a traitor of Kurozumi Orochi, no one has ever doubted it. It must be said that this acting is absolutely superb. He just got the news from Kurozumi Orochi that he must ensure that Oden and others have a bad impression of the beasts. Since Oden is not here, let others have a bad impression of the beasts.

"Is there no objection?" Inuarashi asked with some surprise.

"We can't resist. The beasts are much stronger than us. Unless His Majesty Oden comes back, we can only drive them out under his leadership. Oh, and there's also the black charcoal snake." Kanjuro is still acting. It has to be said that the feeling of heartache is too similar.

"Is this what you want to say to Oden?" I don't know when, Kozuki Toki appeared behind everyone, and Kikunosuke looked apologetic.

"Yes, madam, I'm sorry, we, we have no choice." Kanjuro bowed his head first, and he looked like he wanted to commit seppuku on the spot.

"It doesn't matter, it's not your fault, and don't worry, Oden should be back soon, at most in a year." Kozuki Toki did not blame them, but said with a smile.

"Really? That's great, but Madam, you should hurry into the cabin. You haven't recovered from your illness yet. Don't get blown by the wind again, Kikunojo!" Kanjuro was full of tears, and he wanted to cry out loud. The people around him seemed to be infected by him and were very excited, especially Inuarashi and Cat Viper. Inuarashi no longer doubted the authenticity of what they said.

In this way, they took a boat through the inland sea and returned to Oden Castle, and their information was placed on the desk of the beast.

"Forget about the family and retainers of Kozuki Oden. There is no need to pay attention to them. By the way, there is nothing going on in the quarry recently, right?" Kaido asked Lily after reading the information and throwing it aside.

"Before, a few guys disobeyed discipline, and they were beaten and sentenced to more time, which made them much better. After all, many people's crimes can be released in a few months, so there is no need to fight with those guys who are sentenced to life imprisonment or decades." Lily said as she looked out the window at Yamato, Jack and Maria playing.

"That's fine. I don't know how Ono Linsan is doing in Zou. Let's contact him and have him come over to celebrate the New Year."

"Okay, I'll let him know when the time comes."
