Chapter 607 Follow your heart! (Three in one)

Kozuki Oden took a huge risk and planned to exchange injuries with Tsukuni Yoshiichi, but the final result was that he was not able to cause any harm to Tsukuni Yoshiichi, but was stabbed by Tsukuni Yoshiichi.

The sharp blade instantly pierced Kozuki Oden's body, and blood immediately stained Oden's clothes.

With his teeth clenched, Kozuki Oden concentrated on observing Tsukuni Yoshiichi's partially elementalized body, and his mood became quite heavy.

After several fights, Kozuki Oden also understood the gap between his strength and the enemy. The opponent not only possessed a powerful domineering Haki, but also the use of the devil fruit had been perfectly combined with the observation Haki, forming a unique fighting method for the ability user.

Even the most powerful blow failed to leave a wound on the opponent's body. Kozuki Oden had no way to repel the enemy in his mind at this time.

Kozuki Oden's eyes, which were originally full of hatred and anger, became a little dim at this moment. His physical injuries and his self-confidence also suffered a huge blow.

At the moment when Kozuki Oden's mentality changed, Tsukuni Yoshiichi suddenly drew out his long sword, jumped up, and kicked Kozuki Oden in the chest, kicking him out.

Oden's body was ejected like a cannonball, directly smashing into the crowd, bringing down a large number of members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Oden had a strong physical fitness, and Tsukuni Yoshiichi did not have too strong murderous intentions towards him. He was able to withstand Tsukuni Yoshiichi's attack, but the pirates who were hit by Oden's flying body were not so lucky. The pirates who were hit by Oden were either dead or injured, and none of them were spared.

Even his own captain was easily knocked out by the enemy.

These pirates finally woke up a little, and hesitated and did not dare to move forward.

However, the pirates' hesitation did not last long. Joz and Flower Sword Vista, who had been knocked away by Tsugokuni Yoshiichi, returned to the battlefield one after another.

The two looked at the bodies of their companions on the ground with heavy hearts.

"Everyone retreat, don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Vista made a completely different decision from Marco before. He was older than Marco, and unlike the ship doctor Marco, as a swordsman, he had fought more powerful people. After fighting on the sea for so many years, Vista knew that there were some powerful people who could not win by numbers.

There are times when human power is limited.

Such words are meaningless in front of a strong man like Tsugokuni Yoshiichi.

"Yes!"

Vista's order also made most of the pirates breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, there were some captains in the crowd. After they understood Vista's idea, they also hid in the crowd, thinking of secretly taking action to assist Vista and others.

The Whitebeard Pirates are a very large group, with nearly 100,000 pirates under their command. Since the death of Whitebeard, although the Whitebeard Pirates have experienced the attack of Weeble and a period of internal division, there are also tens of thousands of pirates who choose to support Kozuki Oden.

Among these people, there are many devil fruit ability users. These ability users may not be very strong in frontal combat, but if they are responsible for coordination and assisting people like Vista and Joz, they can also bring some trouble to Tsugakuin Yoshiichi.

The ability user who "planted" spores on Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. At this time, he was also cleverly hiding in the crowd, quietly waiting for the next opportunity to attack Tsugakuin Yoshiichi.

There are many such ability users, and Vista and others did not choose to retreat after realizing the gap in strength between the enemy and us because of this.

They all know that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi is very strong, but correspondingly, they don’t think they have no chance at all.

"Hua La——"

Just as Tsukuni Yuichiro focused on Joz and Vista who were attacking him from the front and back, Marco on the ground took this opportunity to climb up from the ground with difficulty. Dust and gravel slid down from his body, making a slight sound.

As a user of the Mythical Beast Devil Fruit, Marco's recovery speed was beyond the imagination of others. Although Marco's mind was dizzy due to the strong impact and there were multiple fractures on his body, Marco had recovered a certain degree of mobility in this short period of time.

"Oh? Can you still stand up?"

Tsukuni Yuichiro did not expect that Marco could "sit up" and stand up again after suffering such a heavy blow. Glancing at the young man, Yuichiro's eyes also showed a little surprise.

"Of course. I am the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"How can I embarrass my father?!"

Marco slowly raised his head. Although his body was extremely weak, he was full of momentum when he said this, and his tone was full of pride.

It can be seen that Marco really feels honored to be the son of Whitebeard.

"Swish!"

The sound of breaking through the air was heard, and Kozuki Oden, who had just been blown away by Tsugokuni Yoshiichi, also jumped out of the crowd and came to Tsugokuni Yoshiichi's side. The other three squad leaders, together, formed a pincer attack on Tsugokuni Yoshiichi.

At the same time, two more squad leaders walked out of the crowd, the captain of the fourth squad and the chef, Sachi, and the captain of the seventh squad, Lakyo.

One of the two people was wearing a white chef's uniform and holding a long knife with cold light in his hand; the other had blond hair and held a hammer that seemed to be alive. They were both watching Ji Guoyuan eagerly. one.

Kozuki Oden, five captains of the White Squadron with a bounty of over 100 million, some unknown ability users hidden in the crowd, and tens of thousands of ordinary pirates in Wuyangyang.

Such a force can have a huge impact no matter where it is placed in the world.

A closed country like Wano can support so many pirates who do not have to work, which shows that this country is rich in products.

"I won't hold back anymore."

"If you continue to attack me, you have to wake up."

In the encirclement, Ji Guoyuan held a long knife lightly in his hand, looking at Marco and others with eyes full of regret. Although Yuanyi wanted to warn these people, Jiguo Yuanyi knew that it was impossible for these people to succumb to him.

If these people could be made to stop so easily, the Whitebeard Pirates would probably cease to exist long ago.

It is precisely because Yuanyi already knows the result that he feels regretful.

And just as Enichi Tsukuni expected, there was no change in the eyes of Kozuki Oden and Marco when they looked at Enichi Tsukuni.

Dots of golden flames "flowed" from the pores on Jiguo Yuanyi's body, and in the blink of an eye, they had covered Jiguo Yuanyi's body surface.

Bathed in the flames, Enji Kuni shook the long sword in his hand, and a strong wind swept out, rushing towards Kozuki Oden and others.

"Drink!"

Oden tightened his swords in his hands and let out a low roar. Then he kicked the ground and rushed directly towards Tsukuni Yuki. Bista, Jozi and others followed closely behind and rushed towards Tsukuni Yuki. They gathered together and left.

Yuanyi raised the long sword in his hand, and golden flames adhered to the blade. As the long sword fell, a bright golden ring of fire quickly swept around with Jiguo Yuanyi as the center.

Kozuki Oden and others were the first to bear the brunt. In the blink of an eye, they were overwhelmed by the golden flames. The flames swept out and soon involved all the pirates within a kilometer range.

The sky-high flames lit up in Boluo Town. At this moment, the night turned white, the moonlight and starlight were completely covered by the dazzling firelight, and the night sky was as bright as day.

"boom--"

The flames roared, and the airflow throughout Wano experienced drastic changes.

Not long after the Black Carbon Orochi and his two retainers escaped from the battlefield, they suddenly felt the sky brighten up. Several people looked back and found that the battlefield they were on before was now engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

The strong wind howled, bringing scorching heat.

Heitan Chanwan also reacted quickly and immediately used his ability to create a wall in front of several people, firmly protecting the Heitan Orochi behind him.

"This, this, this."

The inexplicable sea of ​​fire looked like a doomsday scene in the eyes of the black charcoal snake. Even the barrier created by the Barrier Fruit could not completely block the surging heat wave.

The strange smell in the air made the black charcoal snake's scalp tingle.

But soon, the shock on the Black Carbon Orochi's face quickly disappeared. After hesitating for a few seconds, the Black Carbon Orochi suddenly smiled as if no one was there:

"Haha, hahahaha!!!"

"Is that an attack from the enemy? Now, old woman, that must be an attack from the enemy, right?!"

"What a powerful enemy! Hahaha, what a powerful enemy!"

"Die, all those bastards die!"

"Our Heitan family finally has a chance to succeed!"

The expression of Heitan Orochi became a little crazy. The person he called the old woman was Heitan Higurashi, who was the "strategist" of the Heitan family and was also a goddess.

Kuotan Orochi had received "guidance" from Kuotan Higurashi when he was young. The life he has now with fine clothes and fine food is actually thanks to Kuotan Higurashi. In the past, Orochi showed more respect for this goddess, but at this time, he was in a high mood and could not hide his true thoughts.

"Hehehehe, Orochi, don't be too busy being happy now."

"We still have things to do."

"Going to the Kozuki family, Oden-sama is fighting such a powerful enemy. As his most trusted person, you naturally have to 'protect' Oden-sama's family."

"As for saying there's nothing going on here, I'll send someone to check."

Heitan Higurashi let out bursts of sinister laughter with a bright smile. After hearing this, the beautiful faces of Kozuki Toki and Kozuki Hiyori, mother and daughter, appeared in the mind of the black charcoal snake. He nodded repeatedly and made a decision immediately:

"Haha, you're right!"

"It's important to protect Oden-sama's family!"

The group of people left in a hurry and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Almost everyone in the entire Wano Country noticed something strange in the direction of Boluo Town. The news spread quickly. Soon, people from the Flower Capital and Furi Village all gathered on the street. He stopped and climbed up, looking towards the direction of Boluo Town.

No one knew what happened there, but everyone realized that something big must have happened in Jiuli.

On the Boluo Town battlefield, the flames soaring into the sky slowly dissipated, and the original streets had long been turned into ruins.

Among the ruins, there were still a few strands of golden fire burning quietly, and human figures could be vaguely seen in the golden flames.

These people were not the pirates who faced Tsukuni Yoshiichi's attack, but ordinary people who did not have time to leave the battlefield. Tsukuni Yoshiichi's control over his abilities has reached the peak. The same flame can be a terrifying weapon to kill the enemy, and it can also be the ultimate shield to protect ordinary people from harm.

As for the pirates who were caught in the golden flame? !

They had already been ecstatic and disappeared in a flash.

Only a few people, who had a strong domineering aura, huddled together for warmth when Tsukuni Yoshiichi launched an attack, and survived.

Among these people, there were several captains of the White Group who surrounded Tsukuni Yoshiichi.

Tsukuni Yoshiichi slowly put away his sword and looked at Jozu and others in the distance.

At the moment when Tsukuni Yoshiichi launched the attack, Jozu and Vista and others chose to gather together at the first time.

Led by Jozu and Kozuki Oden, they resisted Tsukuni Yoshiichi's attack.

Joz was covered with diamonds, and Marco's blue flames turned into a shield in front of him at the first time. Oden, Vista and others used their strongest attacks at the moment when Marco's flame shield was broken, and weakened the enemy's offensive.

Joz was the last shield to protect other companions.

At this time, Joz's body was stained by the golden flames of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi. The flames broke through Joz's protective domineering aura, eroded Joz's body, and burned his blood and bones.

Although there was no pain from his body, Joz could clearly feel that his vitality was disappearing rapidly.

"Plop——"

A strong man like him also had no way to resist the collapse of his body functions. His tower-like body fell to the ground with a bang. Marco, whose consciousness was already a little blurred, wanted to check Joz's injuries, but he stumbled and fell to the ground, falling into a coma.

Vista, Oden and the others were almost exhausted, and they could not care about anything else at this time. They dragged their tired bodies to block Joz and the unconscious Marco.

"It's really good that you can block my attack!"

"Oden, now, have you changed your mind and want to continue talking to me!?"

Jiguo Yuanyi looked around and finally felt a little quieter. Most of the pirates were cleared by him. Even if some of the outermost pirates escaped by chance, many of them were still stained by the golden flames.

With the strength of those people's domineering, they could only watch their bodies being burned to death.

Jiguo Yuanyi walked in front of Oden, Vista and others, and noticed that Joz behind them was still struggling to hold on and had not died, and he also let out a sigh.

With a sigh on his fingertips, a ray of golden flame suddenly turned into a sharp sword, which instantly shot through the center of Oden and Vista and directly pierced Joz's brain.

This iron tower-like sturdy man was out of breath in an instant.

Oden and Vista were shocked only after Tsukuni Yoshiichi's attack landed on Jozu. They looked sideways behind them, their chests full of anger.

However, in the face of Tsukuni Yoshiichi's strong means, Oden chose to endure.

At this point, do Kozuki Oden and his friends have a better choice? Or when did Tsukuni Yoshiichi give them the right to choose?

There are only two ways left in front of them from beginning to end, surrender or death.

Admittedly, Kozuki Oden really wanted to avenge his son, but for his revenge, the loss suffered by the Whitebeard Pirates was too great.

There are countless pirates who died under Tsukuni Yoshiichi's attack. It can be seen with the naked eye that the number of casualties is tens of thousands, including some captains and some veteran backbones of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Not all of them are vassals holding the banner of their Whitebeard Pirates.

And not only those people, but also Diamond Jozu, one of Whitebeard's favorite sons when he was alive, who was known as the world's strongest shield, died in front of him.

Kozuki Oden really didn't have the face or the courage to continue fighting with Tsukuni Yoshiichi.

Watching these comrades who supported him die in front of him was more painful than killing Kozuki Oden directly.

Oden knew that if he continued to fight with Tsukuni Yoshiichi, only one in ten of them would survive.

As an individual, Kozuki Oden would have no regrets even if he died at the hands of Tsukuni Yoshiichi, but he couldn't watch his "brother" risk his life to protect something destroyed in his hands.

"Stop, Tsukuni Yoshiichi"

Kozuki Oden's double swords fell down, and when he said this, it seemed as if his whole body was drained of strength.

"Oden! What are you talking about!?"

Vista had just seen Jozu die at the hands of Tsukuni Yoshiichi, and was actually ready to die, but when he heard the words of the captain next to him, he couldn't help but cry out in disbelief.

Surrender? ! As members of the Whitebeard Pirates, they are going to surrender to the enemy? !

Are you kidding? !

"Oden, this guy is an enemy, how can you surrender to the enemy?!"

"Do you think he will let us go if you surrender to him? No!"

"That guy is Tsukuni Yoshiichi, I have never heard of any pirate who can survive in his hands!"

"And he killed Joz and so many of us. How can you surrender as a captain?"

Vista was a little emotional, but the captain's words made him sober.

"I'm sorry, Vista."

"But I've made a decision."

"He will let us go, because we are still alive, right?!"

"Vista, I was wrong. I was overwhelmed by Momonosuke's death and dragged you into it."

"But we obviously have more important things to do, don't we?"

"If we die, who will protect the Sphinx Island? Who will protect Wano Country? I've failed Bai Xiaoji's trust and your trust."

"I can't make any more mistakes."

Kozuki Oden's mind is rarely clear.

Do you say he's a coward? From the perspective of Tsugikoku Yoriichi, he can actually understand Kozuki Oden's despair to some extent.

It's much harder to survive than to die. Kozuki Oden is not facing an opponent who is "50-50" with him.

Even if the battle continues, the outcome is foreseeable. Oden's ability can no longer change the status quo.

"You"

Vista is not a young man in his teens or twenties. He knows in his heart that what Kozuki Oden said is right. And it is precisely because of this that he can't say anything to refute. He can only look at Tsugikoku Yoshiichi with anger, but he has no intention of continuing to attack.

Angry, desperate.

But facing the overwhelming power, Vista still feels powerless.

Quickly walked to Marco's side and carried the unconscious Marco on his back. Vista's mood was extremely heavy at this moment.

The dead are dead, and the living have to continue to live.

Protecting the younger Marco and the living crew members has become Vista's goal.

"Have you discussed it?"

"I won't continue to make sarcastic remarks."

"The decision you made is very wise. From the beginning, I didn't have the idea of ​​having a large-scale conflict with you."

"But I didn't expect the situation to develop like this."

Before Jiguoyuan finished speaking, Kozuki Oden stretched out his hand and shook his head:

"There is no point in saying this now."

"What is your purpose in coming to Wano Country? If your business has been completed, please leave here."

"If it has not been completed, I will find ways to assist you, as long as you leave here as soon as possible."

"Not only that, from now on, our Whitebeard Pirates will never go against your new navy again. We will stay safely in the Sphinx Island of Wano Country and will not cause any impact on your new navy."

Things have developed to this point. Since we have already bowed our heads, we might as well bow to the bottom.

Kozuki Oden only wanted to send Tsukuni Yoriichi away as soon as possible, and didn't want to see him in Wano Country again. He could only hold back his hatred for his son.

"I did come to Wano Country for something."

"Kozuki Oden, what is on the final island?"

"Why can you Kozuki clan leave words on the stone tablet that records the historical text?"

"Also. Do you know Im?"

The other party was finally able to communicate, and Tsukuni Yoriichi did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"The final island? Are you talking about Raftel?!"

"Hehe. I didn't expect that someone like you would also be interested in that great secret treasure?"

"But I think the truth will disappoint you a little."

"The great secret treasure is the gateway for people to a new future. But none of us can open the gateway."

"It's really a pity! Tsukuni Yoriichi."

Kozuki Oden wanted to laugh at Tsukuni Yoriichi, but he could only smile bitterly on his face.
