Chapter 608 Return and social recruitment? ! (Three in one)

"The Great Secret Treasure, is it the gateway to the future?"

Tsukuni Yoichi chewed over what Kozuki Oden said to him carefully, and his face did not show disappointment or surprise.

He had already guessed about the Great Secret Treasure itself. Although Kozuki Oden was vague, Tsukuni Yoichi could more or less understand what he meant.

Perhaps, the Great Secret Treasure itself has an inseparable connection with the legendary Joy Boy.

If not, the Roger Pirates who landed on the Final Island that year would not have announced their disbandment after that.

Roger spent a long time with Tsukuni Yoichi at the end of his life, and he did not show any abnormality during that period. If he really had obtained the Great Secret Treasure, he would definitely leave a backup plan for his wife and daughter.

The Roger Pirates who landed on the Final Island did not leave anything for the people in this world after disbanding.

Except for the "riddle" before his death that provoked the Age of Discovery, no information about the Final Island was revealed.

Therefore, Tsukuni Yoshiichi has always been uninterested in the Great Secret Treasure. Now that he heard such words from Kozuki Oden, Tsukuni Yoshiichi has become more certain of his guess.

"The Great Secret Treasure is related to Joy Boy, right?"

"Roger didn't bring anything back from the Final Island, Laugh out loud"

"Haha, the name Roger gave to the Final Island is quite interesting."

"Kozuki Oden, are there any records about Im in the historical documents stored in Wano Country?"

Tsukuni Yoshiichi has completely lost interest in the news about the Great Secret Treasure. At this moment, he changed the subject and asked about Im.

After all, one of the most fundamental purposes of his coming to Wano Country is to hope to find historical documents about Im in Wano Country.

Tsukuni Yoshiichi is very sure that Im is the immortal, and the key to unlocking the secret of that person's immortality may be hidden in Wano Country.

Wano Country is a closed country. This country has not interacted with the outside world for hundreds of years, and the influence of the world government here is almost zero.

Only in a place like Wano Country can a complete history be recorded.

Tsukuni Yoriichi can be sure that hundreds of years ago, Wano Country must have had a very close connection with the huge kingdom, because the text used to record the main text of history is the secret code passed down from generation to generation by the Kozuki family.

800 years ago, this world should have undergone some great changes, which led to a technological gap and a change of power.

And it was after that that Wano Country adopted a closed-door attitude, using its special geographical location and natural barriers to isolate itself from the world.

"Im?"

Kozuki Oden thought that Tsukuni Yoriichi would be very interested in the great secret treasure, and he also hoped to see a disappointed expression on Tsukuni Yoriichi's face. Even Kozuki Oden was mentally prepared for Tsukuni Yoriichi to be angry.

But what Kozuki Oden didn't expect was that Tsukuni Yoriichi didn't stay on the topic of the great secret treasure for a moment, and instead asked about Im.

This name was both unfamiliar and familiar to Kozuki Oden. For a moment, he forgot where he had seen this name.

Oden was a man who could not hide his thoughts. After reaching a verbal agreement with Tsugakuni Yoriichi to cease fire, he naturally would not hide the news that the other party wanted to know from Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

"This name sounds familiar."

"Where did you know this name? What is the purpose of asking about this Im?!"

Kozuki Oden asked with a thoughtful expression on his face. He hoped to get more information from Tsugakuni Yoriichi and tried to use this method to awaken the memory deep in his brain.

"She is a Celestial Dragon. From what I know, she should be one of the 'Twenty Kings' who founded the world."

"The purpose of asking about her is to kill her completely. I suspect that this Im is an immortal!"

"The devil fruit encyclopedia has records about the operation fruit. It is certain that in the long history of the World Government for hundreds of years, someone must have performed the so-called immortality operation."

"Iim is very likely the beneficiary!"

Tsugukuni Yoshiichi did not hide his purpose and revealed all his guesses about Im.

"Twenty Kings?"

After hearing what Tsukuni Yuichi said, Kozuki Oden's face suddenly showed a look of realization. He had remembered where he had seen this name:

"In my father's mansion, there is a scripture house, which contains the generals' chronicles passed down from generation to generation in our Kozuki family. The deeds of the generals of the past generations have been passed down to this day. If you want to become a general, you must learn."

"I have indeed seen that name, in the scripture house."

Kozuki Oden's words made Tsukuni Yuichi's pupils shrink slightly, and his eyes looking up at Kozuki Oden also revealed a sharp look.

"The generals' chronicles are written in secret books, and only generals and general candidates can read them."

"Tsukuni Yuichi, I can translate things about Im for you."

Kozuki Oden could feel that Tsukuni Yuichi was a little concerned about this matter, so he didn't care about the so-called rules of Wano Country and agreed directly.

"Okay!"

"The last question is left. How did your Kozuki family leave words on the historical stone tablet?!"

"That's material that even the World Government can't destroy. How did you do it?!"

This last question is also very interesting to Enichi Jikuni. He has also come into contact with historical texts and tried to leave a mark on the stone tablet, but the result was not satisfactory. Even he could not do such a thing. .

Ji Kunoyuan didn't think that his attacks were inferior to those of the Kozuki family. He guessed that the Kozuki family had some unknown method that allowed them to carve on the stone tablet.

"this"

At this moment, Kozuki Oden became a little embarrassed. The questions asked by Tsukuni Enichi were a bit sensitive, and they were all secrets in Wano Country.

He was obviously an enemy who killed his son, but when faced with Enichi Tsukuni's inquiry, Kozuki Oden had to answer. After all, an agreement had been reached. For a person like him, even if it was a promise to the enemy, He will also do what he says:

"There is nothing in this world that cannot be destroyed."

"If there is, it's just because we haven't found the right method, or we haven't used the right tools."

"Can you understand what I say?"

There are secrets related to Wano Country and its historical text, and even with Bista and others present, Kozuki Oden didn't say anything clearly.

If Jiguo Enichi wanted to find out, then he would only teach Jiguo Enichi the method of carving stone tablets.

"I understand a little, but I hope you can tell me the specific method."

"If it is necessary to use some kind of artifact to carve a stone tablet, I hope I can get that artifact!"

Since Jiguo Yuanyi asked this question, he naturally wanted to find out. Tools that can leave traces on that kind of stone tablet must have their own special characteristics.

I don’t know if that thing can cause devastating damage to Im’s body.

Even stone tablets that record historical texts can be engraved and used to attack Im, which should be of some use.

"."

Following Kuni Enichi's words, Kozuki Oden fell into silence. After pondering for a long time, Kozuki Oden nodded slowly and agreed.

Although he is only the daimyo of Kuri, the things he has agreed to do to Jiguo Enichi are far from the things that he, the daimyo, has the right to decide. But Kozuki Oden was confident that he could convince his father. After all, he was different from ordinary daimyo. His surname was also Oden, and he was destined to be the successor of the general in the future.

"In that case, I will go find you early tomorrow morning."

Enichi Tsukuni had already heard the words he wanted to hear from Kozuki Oden's mouth. His eyes swept over Oden and the others without staying here. The figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared in an instant. .

The aftermath of the battlefield was naturally handled by Oden himself.

As soon as Kozuki Oden and the others saw Tsukuni Yui leaving, the heavy pressure on them disappeared. Kozuki Oden quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When he turned his head and saw Jozi's body on the ground, he felt sad. , suddenly couldn't control his emotions and started crying.

His tears were shed not only for Qiaozi, but also for his son and all the partners who died at the hands of Ji Guoyuan in this battle.

Kozuki Oden's revenge against Enichi Tsukuni ended hastily like this. A weak person, even if he is angry, looks so ridiculous in the eyes of a strong person.

This was the first time that Kozuki Oden felt such a sense of powerlessness. After returning home with his remaining subordinates, Oden also sat in front of the mourning hall of his son Momonosuke, staring blankly.

Kuotan Orochi, Kuotan Higurashi and others had left the battlefield early and came to Kozuki Oden's house. They temporarily lived in the house under the pretext of "protecting Oden-sama's family". They originally thought of sending people to the battlefield to investigate the situation at dawn, but what they didn't expect was that not long after they arrived, Kozuki Oden had already returned home with his remaining subordinates.

Seeing that Kozuki Oden and all the retainers were not dead, Heotan Orochi's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, and he had to put away his little thoughts and hide himself.

Kozuki Oden and others, who had just experienced a huge defeat, had no intention of paying attention to how Black Carbon Orochi and the others came back.

The captain gave up revenge after the death of his companions

All this demoralized the members of the Whitebeard Pirates. Bista did not allow anyone to stay at Oden's house any longer. Instead, he led his other subordinates to the Basu Port overnight, intending to allow them to return to his home. Rest on board.

Although Bista knew that the decision made by Kozuki Oden was very wise, he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart and was unwilling to see Kozuki Oden, who was nominally the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, surrender to the enemy. .

From the moment Kozuki Oden surrendered to Tsukuni Enichi, there was already a gap between him and the Whitebeard Pirates, and this gap will become deeper and deeper as time goes by, and will eventually lead to The Whitebeard Pirates, who had finally united together, were once again divided.

As the night progressed, a cool breeze blew into the mourning hall.

The white matter is flying, showing the desolation.

Kozuki Oden watched over his son all night, and his eyes finally became focused.

"I'm sorry Momonosuke."

"sorry!"

"It's useless as a father."

Kozuki Oden leaned over Momonosuke's body, soaking the shroud with tears.

Kozuki Toki, who was also keeping vigil for her son, didn't know what happened to Kozuki Oden this time when he went out to seek revenge on his enemies, but she guessed it from the performance of Oden and his retainers. She didn't blame her husband, but gently took Oden's arm. The couple leaned on each other and digested the pain of losing their son.

The next morning, Tsugikoku Yoriichi arrived as promised.

He was dressed as a samurai and was not stopped by the doorman. Momonosuke's funeral invited many guests, and there were also many people who came to mourn spontaneously. The doorman's job was more to maintain order rather than to examine the identity of the visitors.

When Tsugikoku Yoriichi appeared in the mourning hall, Kozuki Toki, who hadn't slept all night, seemed to feel something and looked in the direction of Tsugikoku Yoriichi. When Kozuki Toki noticed Tsugikoku Yoriichi with eye-catching hair color, her face changed suddenly. She had guessed Tsugikoku Yoriichi's identity, and her eyes were full of hatred when she looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi.

Tsugikoku Yoriichi had seen too many such eyes.

Tsukuni Yuichi had no intention of paying attention to Kozuki Toki, and walked straight to Kozuki Oden.

Before Tsukuni Yuichi came closer, Oden also found Tsukuni Yuichi, and got up from the futon with difficulty. Oden gently tapped his numb legs and said:

"Please follow me."

"I notified my father last night that the things have been placed in the back hall."

Tsukuni Yuichi followed Kozuki Oden through the mourning hall and came to a room full of books.

After taking a quick look at the furnishings in the room, Yuichi saw Oden walked to the desk, picked up a scroll and a small wooden box, and returned to Yuichi.

"I have read the relevant records in the morning."

"Im is an important partner of Joy Boy."

"This is all the information recorded in history."

Kozuki Oden put the heavy scroll on the ground and opened it. After stretching it out for several meters, a portrait sketch came into view. It's called a portrait, but it's actually just a blurry black shadow. However, the black shadow's pupils that look like eagle eyes let Tsukuni Yoshiichi vaguely recognize the other party's identity.

"Is that all?!"

"It's only mentioned once in the document. You have a really good memory!"

Tsukuni Yoshiichi praised him and looked at Kozuki Oden's expression. The fatigue in his eyes and the frankness on his face also made Tsukuni Yoshiichi put away all his doubts about Oden.

"Because he is Joy Boy's partner, I have a deep impression of him."

Kozuki Oden didn't mean to have a deep chat with Tsukuni Yoshiichi. He could vaguely sense that Tsukuni Yoshiichi seemed to be tracing the truth of history, but that kind of thing had nothing to do with him, Kozuki Oden.

From the day Kozuki Oden met Tsukuni Yoshiichi, he knew that Tsukuni Yoshiichi was not the person he was waiting for.

Now he just wants to send Tsukuni Yoshiichi away quickly.

"This is the tool for carving stone tablets."

"Only this kind of material can leave traces on that kind of stone tablet."

After showing the scroll to Tsugikoku Yoriichi, Kozuki Oden also opened the box in his hand.

What caught his eye was a small silver chisel, only the size of a palm, which looked like some kind of metal.

Yoriichi took out the small chisel from the box and looked at it carefully. His observation Haki swept over the chisel, but he didn't feel any special breath.

He thought that he could sense the Haki left by a historical figure from this special artifact.

It seems that he thought too much.

"I'll give you this thing."

"Tsugokuni Yoriichi, I have already done everything you asked me to do. Please leave Wano Country as soon as possible."

After Kozuki Oden handed the thing to Tsugokuni Yoriichi, he urged Yoriichi to leave quickly. Yoriichi casually threw the small silver chisel back to Oden and shook his head gently:

"There are two more things that require your cooperation."

"Help me make a scabbard. This tool can be embedded in my scabbard for easy use."

While speaking, Yoriichi handed the wooden stick in his hand and the Dawn that had recovered from drinking blood to Oden, and directly put forward his request. When he heard that Tsugokuni Yoriichi still had something to do, Oden took a breath and stared at Tsugokuni Yoriichi for a few seconds before nodding reluctantly.

"The last thing is that Wano Country will be under the control of our new navy from now on."

"But don't worry, the new navy will not rashly change the current stable political situation in Wano Country."

"What I want is for Wano Country to trade with our new navy."

"Minerals, food, anything that Wano Country is willing to export, the new navy will take it."

"At the same time, the people of Wano Country can also obtain some things that are not originally available on the island through trade."

For Tsugakuni Yoriichi's request, Kozuki Oden has no right to refuse at all. Not to mention that the new navy will not easily interfere in Wano Country's internal affairs, even if the new navy wants to intervene, Oden has no way to refuse.

He has to consider many people.

These are what the defeated party should bear.

After leaving the scabbard and saber, Tsugakuni Yoriichi also left, not worrying about what Oden would do.

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are meaningless to Tsugakuni Yoriichi.

This point must be clearly recognized by Kozuki Oden.

Momonosuke's funeral lasted for a full month, and after waiting for a week, Tsugikuni Yoriichi took back the saber and the newly made scabbard.

The black scabbard was covered with silver water ripples, and the tip of the scabbard was wrapped with a special silver metal. When necessary, it can also be used as a long sword for stabbing.

The craftsmanship of the craftsmen in Wano Country is very excellent, and the sword and scabbard can fit perfectly.

After taking away a life card of Kozuki Oden, Tsugikuni Yoriichi then turned into a golden stream of light and left Wano Country.

Tsugikuni Yoriichi's trip to Wano Country can be regarded as a gain. Although there is still no way to completely kill Im, and it has not been able to break the fog surrounding her, for Tsugikuni Yoriichi, being able to bring Wano Country under the control of the new navy can also greatly increase the strength of the team.

Tsugikuni Yoriichi did not expect the samurai of Wano Country to help the new navy. It is enough for Wano Country, which is rich in resources, to continue to export food.

In today's world, there are still too many people who still don't have enough food, and developed agriculture is also the basis for the new navy to continue to expand.

After leaving Wano Country, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi decided to return to Wano Country and reunite with Zefa, Yixiao and others first.

The news of his resurrection will not be spread from Wano Country in a short time. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi has also told Kozuki Oden about this, and the people of the Whitebeard Pirates will not spread this news everywhere.

The tentacles of the World Government cannot reach the Whitebeard Pirates, and it is difficult to receive such news in the first time.

The Whitebeard Pirates have to recuperate in Wano Country, so this news is naturally blocked.

Today's Wano Country is truly worthy of its name.

The new navy that governs Wano Country controls nearly a thousand large and small islands in the New World. Even in such a complex sea condition, the power of the new navy has touched every piece of land in the first half of the New World.

There are naturally many islands that refuse to be ruled, such as Elbaf, the home of the giants. These giants have no good feelings towards humans. They are powerful and have their own survival system, which is incompatible with people in the outside world.

Although Elbaf's "giant" attribute is very useful, the humans, animals, and plants growing on Elbaf are huge beyond the imagination of the outside world, and the rich materials can even feed the whole world.

But even so, the new navy did not take coercive measures against these giants.

The day when Jigoku Yoshiichi, wearing a black robe, returned to Wan Guo, it happened to meet the new navy's triennial recruitment event.

The whole Wan Guo was bustling with people, the streets were crowded, and pedestrians were rubbing elbows and shoulders, a prosperous scene.

Recruiting.

This is one of the ways for the new navy to replenish fresh combat power. There are two ways for ordinary people to join the new navy.

One is to receive systematic education in the naval school since childhood, and pass the internal assessment after adulthood, and naturally enter the new navy system.

The other way is to enter the new navy system through the three-year recruitment, which can be simply understood as the "social recruitment" way.

It is difficult to say which of these two methods is better or worse, but in the long run, two factions have naturally emerged in the new navy.

Humans are social animals, and it is their nature to survive in groups.

The sergeants who enter the new navy will naturally feel close to those partners who are on the "same path", and these people often have more common language.

Just as Tsugukuni Yuichi was strolling on the streets of Coco Town, Zefa Zheng, who coordinated the "social recruitment" task, and several senior executives of the headquarters inspected the venue.

The Flavor Island of Wan Guo has been transformed into a complex arena. The entire island is equipped with surveillance Den Den Mushi, which can monitor everything that happens on the island.
