The antique style is the biggest feature here. After thousands of years of history, everything you look at is brilliance and beauty.
White walls and black tiles, cornices and pavilions, temple courtyards, stone bridges and flowing water, each exquisite building full of Japanese charm is half-hidden among the cherry blossoms and green trees.
This place is located in the center of the entire Wano country, and it has true spring all year round, always maintaining the most comfortable warm climate.
Naturally, the cherry blossoms will always bloom.
They flutter and fall with the wind, and their pink and white petals are constantly fluttering in the air, following every passerby. They are also known as Huachuixue.
And the center of all scenery is Orochi City!
This is a castle pavilion standing on the trunk of a huge tree that is graceful like a bonsai and has several waterfalls gushing out from it.
Earlier, it was called Guangyue City and General City.
But since the last descendant of the Heotan family, Heotan Orochi, became the new general four years ago, it was renamed Orochi City.
This night.
It was exactly two hours after the five floating airships led by Mihawk arrived over Ghost Island.
Inside Orochi City.
At this time, the place was still as brightly lit as ever.
A burst of exquisite Japanese music played by an ensemble of traditional musical instruments such as the shamisen, taiko, koto, and pipa is like a flock of flying butterflies dancing with the light, surrounding the entire castle.
"Guhehehe————"
"Pour me some wine, Aoi-chan~~"
In the hall on the highest floor, I saw a man wearing a yellow daimyo costume, a black cloak over his shoulders, a golden crown on the left side of his head, and a purple bun on the right side. He had a square face and an upturned beard. Even though he was sitting in the upper position,
He was also a very burly man, laughing wildly with a wild expression on his face, and his wild laughter violently destroyed the beauty of the music.
I saw him hugging two beautiful girls in kimono, sitting in front of a table filled with various drinks and food, enjoying the personal service of the beauties in his arms, while groping up and down their graceful bodies with his own hands.
He simply looks like a proud winner in life.
"Orochi, there's news from Kaido!"
A figure with long pale hair shawl and a pale face, like a witch who could not tell the difference between men and women came over and reminded him.
He is the Black Tan Mu Chan, the man behind and the instigator of the turmoil in Wano Country.
"Um?"
The black charcoal snake heard the heaviness in the other party's tone, and immediately asked the geisha on the side to stop playing, and then pushed the kimono beauty in his arms away.
When there were finally only two people left in the hall, he asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
He knows very well that his current status and power are maintained by the Beasts Pirates, so he attaches great importance to their every move.
"Kaido wants to eliminate Kozuki Oden and the various daimyo families. He asked us to help spread the news and attract all the rebels to gather in Kuri, and we..."
After listening to a large section of Black Tan Mu Chan's words, Black Tan Orochi felt unable to understand.
"Why is there such a big fuss all of a sudden? Didn't we agree to wait until Oden has been dancing for five years and lost the trust of all the daimyo, samurai and the people before taking action?"
Although he is not very smart, he also knows that it has only been less than a year, and there are still many people who are willing to believe that there are still many field masters, so it is obviously not the best time.
Hei Tan Mu Chan shook his head and pondered the strangeness of this.
"I don't know, but Kaido said that he has made a decision and has now headed to Oden Castle in Kuri. It seems that the Beast Pirates are impatient and want to deal with all the thorns in Wano in one fell swoop...
..."
"Alright alright."
Black Carbon Orochi stood up and fully displayed his three-and-a-half-meter-long figure, but his body proportions were very strange, giving people a particularly short and fat feeling.
"If we can really eliminate those big names, it will be a great thing for us. I have long been tired of hearing the opposition from those guys outside. I just hope they don't get away with it."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly shouted to the empty audience: "Fu Lu Long Shou!"
【唰————】
Following the rapid sound of breaking through the air, a figure over two meters tall, with a long skull and earlobes, wearing black sunglasses and a purple kimono, half-knelt there in the blink of an eye.
"Please give me your instructions, General."
He is the leader of the ninja troops directly under the general of Wano, the Imperial Guards. He is the kind of person who only obeys the general's orders, regardless of who is the general.
"Gather all the ninjas and get ready to go!"
"yes!"
The next second, Fu Lu Shou disappeared from the spot again, and Hei Tan Orochi once again turned his attention to Hei Tan Mu Chan and asked: "How many warriors are willing to obey my orders now?"
"Just broke two thousand."
Heitan Muchan showed a worried expression and said in a deep voice: "Under the influence of the Kotsuki family and those big names, the samurai do not have high recognition of your general identity, and they have only managed to win over these few people in the past four years."
It's not twenty-four years later yet, but even twenty-four years later in the original timeline, there are only five thousand samurai willing to serve Orochi.
"Then I only have seven thousand samurai at my disposal?" (In Wano, ninjas are also considered samurai.)
Black Carbon Orochi clasped his hands behind his back and walked back and forth on the stage with a worried look on his face, "How can a person like this complete the mission requested by Kaido? Which of those daimyo doesn't have three thousand samurai under his command, plus the Flower Capital?"
There must be people on the side who are willing to follow Oden, and if you calculate, there are nearly 15,000 samurai on that side!"
He felt more and more that Kaido was too anxious. Even the Beast Pirates couldn't stop such a large samurai army, right?
After all, they are only worth a thousand people!
"No matter what, we still have to listen to Kaido's orders. At most, we should be prepared to evacuate Wano Country. Once the war there is defeated..."
Heitan Muchan also lacks confidence. Although he has lived overseas for a long time, he has never seen the true terror of high-level combat power.
I just feel that even if he is as strong as Kaido, he cannot withstand fifteen thousand samurai, right?
"This is the only way. Let the ninjas spread the news first, and then leave it to the beasts and the others!" The black charcoal snake gritted its teeth and made the decision.
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away, in the sky above Boluo Town, the capital of Jiuli Township, the situation suddenly changed. The night sky that was originally full of bright moonlight had been shrouded in thick dark clouds.
This aroused the attention and uneasiness of the people below. Even a child walked out of the door because of the commotion outside, and looked up at the scene in the sky with the adults on the street.
"What's going on? Is it going to rain?"
"Look!"
"That, that's..."
Suddenly, a little girl suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the dark clouds on the right, where a blue dragon's tail poked out.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people saw a looming dragon in the clouds hovering over Oden Castle on the mountain, causing one after another to scream in surprise.
Suddenly, an atmosphere of panic spread in Boluo Town.
"It's Kaido...what is he doing here?"
In Oden Castle, Raizo, who is also a ninja, stood on the balcony of the pavilion, looking solemnly at the huge blue dragon in the dark clouds. Behind him stood the sixteen-year-old Neko Viper and Inuarashi.
"The person who came here is not malicious, please use the Wisdom Conch to notify Lord Oden immediately!"
Raizo immediately made a judgment and said firmly: "Before this, our task is to protect Mrs. Hershey and the two highnesses until Lord Oden arrives!"
