Chapter 449: Welcome from both sides of the road! (2-in-1)

"What?!"

"Bai Xiaoji was caught by the navy?!!"

In the General's Mansion in the Flower Capital of Wano, several captains of the Whitebeard Pirates sat on the floor at Oden's greeting, and told Kozuki Oden their purpose of coming.

Hearing the news that Whitebeard was captured, Kozuki Oden was also shocked and exclaimed with disbelief. He had never thought that a person like Whitebeard would be caught by the navy.

"It's a new navy, not a navy"

"These are two different forces led by different people."

"It's useless to say all this now, Oden, we want to ask you to help us and rescue dad together!"

Marco tried to correct the difference between the two forces of the Navy and the New Navy, but seeing the confused look on Kozuki Oden's face, he shook his head and did not waste time on such minutiae.

As he spoke, Marco's hand was already on Oden's forearm, and he looked at Oden expectantly.

"You don't need to say it, it's of course!"

"Bai Xiaoji is my eldest brother, our half-brothers who drank the wine of friendship!"

Kozuki Oden clenched his fists and agreed directly without any hesitation. As he spoke, a strong aura surged out of him. It can be seen that he, the younger brother, is extremely concerned about Whitebeard being arrested.

"Great, let's set off quickly!"

The team captains felt the powerful aura exuding from Koyu Oden, and they all looked happy and shouted happily.

"Wait a minute, Oden-sama!"

"You cannot leave Wano Country. If you leave, what will happen to Jiuri? What will happen to the people of Wano Country?"

"Sukiyaki-sama is preparing to pass the position of general to you. How can you leave at this time?!"

At this moment, in the corner of the living room, a young warrior suddenly stood up and objected loudly. The eager and loud objections immediately silenced the hall, and the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates also turned their heads and followed the sound.

Kozuki Oden, who was sitting above the main guard at the table, also frowned when he heard this and looked at the samurai in the corner.

Firefox Kinemon.

This is one of Kozuki Oden's retainers and one of Oden's most loyal subordinates.

Looking at Kinemon who stood up to object, Oden glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to say more about this matter."

"I will inform Father personally."

"Bai Xiaoji is my brother. No matter what, I can't just sit idly by."

"No matter who the opponent is, I will rescue Bai Xiaoji!"

In the past, when Oden encountered opposition from his subordinates, he would never reject it outright like now. He is an easy-going person. Even if his own opinions conflict with those of his subordinates, he will seriously consider other people's suggestions.

But on the matter of Whitebeard, Oden showed unprecedented determination.

And the determination he showed also made Kinemon's breath stagnant. Even though there were thousands of words in his chest, he couldn't say them out at this moment.

He knew Kozuki Oden very well. This man was actually somewhat similar to Luffy, a little naive, a little childish, and in the eyes of others, a little willful. But once they have decided on something, they cannot change their mind no matter how others persuade them.

Kinemon knew his master's character very well, and he knew that there was nothing he could do to change Oden's will.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, Kinemon knelt down on the tatami, kowtowed to Kozuki Oden and made a big salute.

Amid the astonished gazes, Kinemon raised his head and shouted: "Since you insist on leaving Wano Country, please allow me to follow you!"

"As your retainer, I must serve you."

Said to be serving, in fact Kin'emon's purpose is to follow Oden, thinking that after Oden has finished his work, he can persuade Oden to return home as soon as possible.

Oden is not a peaceful person. If he is given the opportunity to go to sea, this guy may not know when he will return to Wano Country.

"no!"

"You have to stay and manage Jiuli for me!"

Faced with Kinemon's request, Oden flatly refused.

This time the opponent is the New Navy, which is a powerful force that can capture Whitebeard alive. The risk factor of rescuing Whitebeard is too high.

Oden knew this very well. When he agreed to go to sea with Marco and others this time, he was mentally prepared that he would not be able to come back alive.

Because of this, he couldn't take Kinemon with him.

He needs loyal retainers to protect Jiuli. If he really has no way to come back, Momonosuke needs someone to take care of him and someone to assist him.

"Lord Oden!!!"

When Kinemon heard Oden reject him, he immediately shouted and became emotional.

Seeing Kin'emon's appearance, Oden stood up and walked to Kin'emon, gently pressed his hands on Kin'emon's shoulders, and said softly: "Kin'emon, you are one of the people I trust most. one."

"When you want to look after me after I leave, help me look after Momonosuke and Hiyori."

Oden showed great trust in Kinemon and entrusted his wife and children to this loyal retainer.

Looking at Kozuki Oden in front of him who was full of trust in him, Kinemon was filled with emotions for a moment, with tears in his eyes, and he nodded heavily reluctantly.

The rescue operation should be carried out sooner rather than later, but the Moby Dick suffered some damage when it passed through the Protectorate Barrier in Wano Country, and it required a day of emergency repairs.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Kozuki Oden also went to see his father in person and informed him of his intention to leave.

Sukiyaki was naturally opposed to it, but in the face of his son's determination, his objection was of little use.

When Oden was about to leave, Kozuki Sukiyaki called out to his son, and then took down the famous sword passed down from generation to generation by the Kozuki clan from the knife rest in his study, the Twenty-one Quick Swordsman - Second Generation Oni Che was handed over to Oden's hands.

Considering that his son was a two-sword swordsman, Sukiyaki also went to the treasure house and took out another national treasure of Wano Country, the Twelve Skills of the Supreme Knife Sword - Daidian Taimitsu.

"This father?"

Subconsciously reaching out to take the two national treasure-level swords that Sukiyaki handed him, Kozuki Oden's chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Every hundred years in their country, there would be powerful warriors or highly skilled swordsmiths. Famous swords such as Qiu Shui, Tian Yu Yu Zhan, and En Mo basically spread from Wano Country.

But even in a country like Wano, there are very few famous swords of the level of Daidian Taimitsu and Nidai Kitetsu.

Since Oden "lost" Tian Yuzhan and Enma, his sword has become a relatively ordinary weapon, but with the acquisition of Taidian Taiguoyo and the second generation Kitetsu, Oden can be said to have turned his bicycle into a motorcycle, and his weapons have been greatly improved. Do you know how many grades there are.

"These things were originally meant to be given to you."

"Now, it's just a little ahead of schedule."

"Oden, I am already old. This time you go to sea, you must come back quickly after finishing your work."

"The future of Wano Country rests on your shoulders!"

Sukiyaki also felt something from Oden's demeanor and emotion when he talked to him before. His son, from the moment he entered the door, there was a hint of determination in his eyes.

Oden really didn't know how to hide his emotions. Although Sukiyaki didn't have a "smart eye", it was not difficult to see through Oden at a glance after living at this age and sitting in the general's position for so long.

"Um!"

"After I rescue Bai Xiaoji, I will rush back to Wano Country as soon as possible!"

Kozuki Oden stood up and tied the two long swords given by his father to his waist. After making a solemn promise, he bid farewell to his father and returned to Jiuli.

This night, Oden spent all his time with his family.

Although Momonosuke grew up under the wings of his parents, he also experienced a period of hard times in his childhood. As he grows older, although Momonosuke is still innocent, his mental development is also rapid.

Although the natural cowardice in his character still exists, it has been greatly improved under Oden's words and deeds over the years.

Oden is a guy who likes to keep a diary. In his spare time, he will talk to his increasingly sensible son about the adventures he has experienced at sea, and he will tell Momonosuke about his two former captains, Whitebeard and Roger.

His "diary illusion" had no chance of affecting Kaido's daughter, but it deeply affected Momonosuke.

The next day, at noon.

Under the farewell of his family, Kozuki Oden followed Marco and others on the Mobydick.

"boom--"

A scream cut through the peaceful afternoon, followed by the roar of cannons, which exploded on Whitebeard's hometown of Sphinx Island.

"Come on!"

"Kill all the fellow villagers of that Whitebeard guy and avenge our brothers who died at the hands of Whitebeard!"

Several ships flying pirate flags docked on the shoal. The pirates on board cheered and jumped off the deck, looking at the town in the distance. Bloodthirsty smiles appeared in the eyes of the pirates.

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

Just as the pirates were gathering on the shore and preparing to kill towards the town, the earth suddenly shook slightly, and the sound of heavy footsteps reached everyone's ears.

The pirates all heard the sound and looked sideways, seeing a scruffy-looking, burly young man wearing black denim overalls walking towards the coast.

"Who is that?"

The pirates looked at the burly young man walking towards him, sizing up each other's appearance, and secretly wondered in their hearts.

To the pirates, that was a new face.

The young man has a fleshy face, an upper lip with a white beard that curves up like a crescent moon, and his blond hair is spread behind his back, with only two small braids on both sides of his cheeks.

And what is strange is that on the neck of this burly young man, there is also a thin and short old woman wearing a leopard print shawl.

"Weibull, you have to remember that you are Whitebeard's son!"

"Your father is not at home, so you have to protect his home in your father's stead!"

"Sa, kill all the pirates who come to the island!"

The old woman patted Edward Weeble's head gently and said some creepy words casually.

"Yes, Mom!"

Edward Weibull held the long-handled Yanyue knife of the same style as Cong Yunqie in one hand and nodded with a naive smile.

"Clam?"

"What is that old woman saying? Did you all hear it?"

"Captain, I heard that. She said that 'pig' is Whitebeard's son and wants to kill us all."

"Ha! Hahahahaha!!!"

"Whitebeard's son? Where did Whitebeard's son come from? I'm still Whitebeard's father, hahahaha!"

Nearly a hundred pirates gathered on the coast heard the conversation between the mother and son. Not only did they not show any fear, but they laughed at each other's overestimation.

However, as Edward Weibull approached, he swung the Yan Yue Dao back high in his hand. The next second, the long knife swept across and the sword light shot out.

The laughter lingering on the shore suddenly stopped.

The battle started as quickly as it ended.

In just a few minutes, the corpses of the pirates covered the shoal, and their blood stained the nearby seawater red.

"Mom, do you think I am really Whitebeard's son?"

"They say Whitebeard has no sons."

Edward Weibull, covered in blood, glanced at the corpses on the ground, picked his nose, and asked his mother.

"Tuk-"

Bajingom Stusi knocked on Weibull's head, turned over from his neck, skillfully took out a wanted notice for Whitebeard from his arms, and handed it to his son.

"Is this a mirror?" Weibull looked at the wanted notice handed to him and asked with a simple smile.

"This is what your dad looks like!"

"Look, they are exactly the same! Are they exactly the same?!"

"You look so similar, how could you not be Whitebeard's biological son?"

Bajingom Stusi scolded in a sharp voice, and when Weibull heard this, he also showed a guilty look on his face, like a child, admitting his mistake and said: "I'm sorry, Mom, I was wrong. "

Bajingom Stusi gently patted her son's calf and said with a smile: "Let's go back to the town."

"Your father is going to die soon. As his son, you have to inherit his inheritance after his death."

"This is a matter of course."

"We still have a lot of things to be busy with next."

Barkingom Stussi jumped on Weibull's shoulders and sat on her son's neck again.

Two people, one large and one small, turned and walked towards the town in the distance.

The sea breeze blew, and the tides rose and fell. The bodies on the shoal were also swept into the sea by the waves, and the smell of blood that filled the air gradually dissipated.

The only pirate group docked on the shore witnessed the cruel scene that happened on the beach.

It is early February in the year 1510 of the Haiyuan calendar.

In front of the Marine Port at Marine Headquarters, the navy's warships were divided into two columns and lined up, creating a wide sea channel.

On the coast, the navy of the headquarters was in good order. Under the leadership of Marshal Warring States, they were waiting on the coast early.

At the end of the seaway in the distance, a snow-colored slender warship appeared in the sight of the navy.

It was a warship flying a flag with a golden phoenix pattern, and as that warship appeared in the sight of the navy.

The military port was crowded with navy, and it was so quiet that one could hear the drop of a needle.

The navy held their breath and followed the ship in the distance with their eyes, not even daring to take a big breath.

"What a huge battle -"

"I didn't expect that one day I would be able to return to Marineford openly."

"I'm really holding you back, Whitebeard."

On the deck of the Dawn warship, Ji Guoyuan stood on the bow of the ship, holding on to the railings with both hands, and glanced at the two rows of warships "welcoming", and then his eyes fell on the military port.

Behind Sengoku, Garp and Zefa stood on either side. When Enichi Tsukuni cast his gaze, they were also carefully observing Enichi Tsukuni, whom they had not seen for a long time.

The youthful youthfulness on Yuanyi's face had long since disappeared without a trace.

As he gets older, the calm and peaceful temperament exuded by Ji Guoyuan becomes more and more obvious.

"Following the fate of the country"

As the Dawn warship approached the port, the navymen of the headquarters looked at Jiguo Enichi on the bow, their mouths suddenly felt dry, and they swallowed involuntarily.

It was obvious that Yuanyi's aura was the same as that of ordinary people, but after seeing him, the marines could not help but feel chills in their hearts. The awe that came from the depths of their souls was beyond their control at all.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

The name Jikoku Enichi itself already has some kind of special magic power for the navy.

"long time no see."

"Marshal of the Warring States Period."
