Chapter 274: The Battle of Wano Country (XII)

Kozuki Oden died. After an absurd turn, he was defeated and died in an instant. It seems unreasonable, but in fact, this incident has been foreshadowed.

From beginning to end, in this battle between Kaido and Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Oden only really hurt Kaido once, and the injury healed before the end of the battle. Although it seems that the battle between the two sides is extremely fierce, and even the abilities of both have evolved, Kaido has always been ahead of Kozuki Oden. Without any surprise, Kozuki Oden, the spiritual leader of the samurai, hastily ushered in his own end.

"Is it over? Really, I thought it was a very interesting opponent, but it turned out to be this kind of virtue. It's really disappointing." Kaido looked at Kozuki Oden, whose head was blown up by him, and felt a little melancholy in his heart, just because the opponent he expected did not reach the level he wanted. He was wrong. Kozuki Oden was just an empty shell that was strong on the outside but had no substance.

Kaido was unconsciously curious. From the intelligence they collected, whether it was going out to sea regardless of the consequences or doing all kinds of ridiculous things, it was obvious that although Kozuki Oden was a bastard, he was generally a person who followed his heart. Why did he become like this now, as if he had been possessed by someone else?

"Who is Joy Boy? Why is he still so charming after so many years?" Kaido was puzzled. Why did he seem to be surrounded by Joy Boy? Everyone he knew seemed to know Joy Boy, whether it was Jin and Dai around him, or the fur tribe and fishmen who were allies, or Kozuki Oden, a half-baked enemy, all of them were like this. Why was it?

Kaido couldn't explain this situation. A loser, in his opinion, was the first to raise the banner of rebellion, but he was not worthy of being deified. So why was this? Why did so many people worship Joy Boy so much? What did he do?

Kaido crossed his arms and thought for a long time, but he really couldn't figure it out. Finally, helplessly, he grabbed Kozuki Oden's body and two swords and walked towards the direction of Flower Capital. Forget it, don't think about it. I'm not suitable for thinking about these things. It's better to discuss it with Lily at that time. But hasn't Lily dealt with that place for so long?

Kaido remembered that there was only one daimyo and a few samurai over there. With Lily's strength, even if she played around, it should be over, right? Is there any master in Wano Country that they don't know about?

"Ding ding ding ding ding!" There was another series of weapon collisions. Lily still held the sword with one hand, while Kozuki Sukiyaki on the opposite side held the sword with both hands to resist. At this time, Kozuki Sukiyaki's body was covered with scars, and the face that was not handsome in Wano Country was completely disfigured. The wounds made his face look like a piece of steak that was cut up.

If Kaido and Kozuki Oden could barely be considered a fight, then Lily and Kozuki Sukiyaki could be considered an adult playing with a child. Lily had been holding back for too long. She had never held back in the past, but today she made an exception and chose to suppress her own strength. She didn't use the Devil Fruit or any moves. Even her Haki was the most basic Armament Haki. She didn't use her Observation Haki. She simply relied on her own eyes, speed, strength and experience to swing her sword. She kept swinging her sword, swinging it crazily, with each sword being faster than the last, and each sword being better than the last.

The continuous slashing was impenetrable. Kozuki Sukiyaki, who also used fast swordsmanship, had completely become a hard hold. He did not dare to relax at all, even if his arms were numb, even if his eyes were red and swollen, even if his wrists were about to be dislocated, even if his body was covered with wounds, but he did not dare to stop, because even if he was a little slower, he would be killed on the spot by Lily, and there was no possibility of survival. Now he could only gamble, betting that his son Kozuki Oden could defeat Kaido, or that anyone in any battlefield could win and someone could rescue him.

But unfortunately, he lost the bet. With a loud noise from the direction of Fujiyama, the continuous noises over there completely subsided, and Lily could instantly feel who the winner was. Kozuki Sukiyaki did not have such a skill, but the sudden piercing pain interrupted his thinking and paused his swordsmanship, and this short moment.

"Sizzle." With the sound of a blade cutting through the flesh, the next moment, Kozuki Sukiyaki felt that he had lost his balance, the world was spinning, his legs seemed to be out of control, and his stomach felt a cool breeze.

"Did you lose?" Kozuki Sukiyaki obviously understood what happened. He was cut in half by Lily, and the severe pain that followed made it impossible for him to say the second half of his sentence.

"I'm still very curious. You were hiding well before, why did you jump out?" Lily looked down at Kozuki Sukiyaki. This was also the question that Lily had been thinking about before.

Obviously, Kozuki Sukiyaki was definitely not a wise leader, and he was even a little bit short of being a mediocre leader. A person who even lost his own country was indeed not a capable person. At the same time, although this person had some martial arts, he was still far behind the top strong men. Although he was stronger than the Nine Red Scabbards, he was just that. The only thing that could be considered a little capable was that he was a craftsman. He forged two famous swords, Tianyuhazan and Sandai Kitetsu.

And according to what Baishou knows, Kozuki Sukiyaki seems to be a coward. After escaping from Orochi, he didn't even dare to look for his son. He could only hide in the village of Braided Kasagata with a mask on, and lived with a mask on every day. Lily couldn't understand why such a person dared to run out.

"If, huh, I said I was curious, huh, do you believe it?" Kozuki Sukiyaki kept breathing, but the coldness caused by blood loss began to make his voice tremble, and at the same time became extremely incoherent, but he still spoke with difficulty, and barely squeezed out a smile on his face.

"You are in the mood to joke and watch the fun when you are about to die? Then why don't you go to the city to watch, it's more lively there, not to mention why you bring a knife to watch the fun?" Lily snorted coldly. She hated this kind of guy with a flowery mouth. If she didn't want to know the answer, Lily would have stabbed this guy long ago.

"Haha, my jokes are not funny at all." Kozuki Sukiyaki's face began to turn red, and his voice began to become coherent. He felt the pain in his body was constantly receding, replaced by a strange numbness. He knew what was going on, a last burst of light, the last gift before death.

"Speak." Lily said coldly.

"There is no reason. I have been a coward all my life. I want to try to fight. In fact, I am also very entangled. I am also very scared. I keep convincing myself that I should be brave. I used to be the general of Wano Country and should look like a general, but I am still afraid. This is why I stood in the woods before. I am afraid of fighting. I have only fought with others a few times. This is the only time I really fought with all my strength. But it's a pity that even if I try my best, I am not the material for fighting, but at least my goal has been achieved halfway."

Kozuki Sukiyaki has a weird smile on his face, as if he is saying something happy.

"You mean those guys who escaped? Let them escape however they want. Wano Country is so small, where can they hide? Of course, it would be better if they go out to sea. We don't have time to care about them." Lily knew what Kozuki Sukiyaki meant. Just when Lily and Kozuki Sukiyaki were fighting with swords, several of the Nine Red Scabbards woke up and secretly escaped. They thought Lily didn't notice, but in fact, Lily knew their every move. It was just that Lily wanted to know what these people would do. There was no one in Wano Country who could save them. When they appeared in various villages, they would be greeted by the attacks of the people. The privileged class of samurai was finished.

"Maybe. At least I feel that I succeeded. I saved someone's life. This may be the most meaningful thing I have ever done as the general of Wano Country. No matter what you say, I can feel that Oden has failed, and I will meet him soon. You have defeated the beasts, and Wano Country is yours. Cough cough cough!" After Kozuki Sukiyaki finished the last sentence, he coughed twice, and then his head tilted and he lost his voice. The Nidaime Kitetsu in his hand also loosened and fell to the ground.

"Stupid, your death is meaningless, and you don't even know what the beasts really want to do. If we really want to occupy Wano Country, we would have done it long ago. Anyway, your strength is far inferior to that of the beasts. It's not the beasts who really get Wano Country, but the real civilians. They are the future masters of this country. We just help them get back what belongs to them." Lily glanced at the silent Kozuki Sukiyaki again, and took the Nidai Kitetsu from his hand. With Lily's movements, the Nidai Kitetsu kept buzzing, obviously resisting Lily's possession.

"I won't use you. Having Akakage is enough for me, but I will find you a suitable master." Lily said as she sheathed the Nidai Kitetsu, and with Lily's words, the Nidai Kitetsu stopped buzzing and fell into silence again.

Kozuki Sukiyaki - Death!
