Chapter 234 Take the charcoal! Eliminate the beasts!
The country of Wano in the year 1498 of the Hainan calendar.
The capital of flowers.
A bustling street with bright lights and people coming and going.
"Phew - today is over. There are still four years left before the five-year agreement. I must persist and rescue all the hostages!"
Kozuki Oden, who was only wearing a white loincloth, didn't care about the disappointment or disgust of the people around him, and put on his clothes with a smile on his face.
It seemed that he had just finished dancing. Judging from the sweat stains on his forehead, he danced quite seriously.
"Lord Oden!!!"
Just when he was looking at Orochi City in the distance, Kinemon's shout suddenly sounded behind him, and his voice was full of anxiety, panic and other emotions.
Oden turned around and was surprised to find that not only Kinemon was coming, but Denjiro, Kikunojo, Ashura Doji and others were also running over, and everyone's face was either angry or nervous.
Their arrival seemed to have a wonderful impact, making the atmosphere in the entire street become serious for a while, arousing the curiosity of many people around them.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Oden asked the question, Kin'emon, the head of the retainers, shouted urgently: "I just received news from Oden Castle that Kaido led the Beast Pirates to attack there. Now the '
"Snail" can no longer be accessed!"
"What----!"
Kozuki Oden was shocked and took a few steps back subconsciously, but immediately stopped and ran wildly towards the outside of the Flower Capital.
At this moment, his mind was filled with the appearances of Kozuki Toki, Momonosuke, and Hiyori.
“Don’t get into trouble, don’t get into trouble!!”
At the same time, Kinemon and others followed desperately, shouting loudly: "Lord Oden, Kuri is too far away from here. We can't just run back with our legs and feet. Kawamatsu has already gone to prepare the horses!"
But how could Oden listen to these words? After all, he ran much faster than a horse. At this time, of course, the faster he ran, the better.
As for the physical exertion on the way, he didn't even think about it.
"What should we do? We can't catch up with Oden-sama!"
As soon as he ran out of the Flower City, Denjiro, who was wearing glasses, stopped and looked at Oden's figure in the distance with a headache, who had already left them far away.
"He Song is here!"
"Hurry up and ride!"
At this time, Kinemon was pleasantly surprised to see Kawamatsu bringing six horses. Judging from their tall and strong bodies, they probably came from a wealthy horse stable.
But where can I take care of this at this time?
"Where is Oden-sama?"
"It's too late to explain. Hurry up and catch up!"
Kinemon and others got on their horses one after another, whipped their buttocks wildly and rushed towards Jiuli Township.
Not caring at all that the sky was still full of stars, a group of people rushed desperately to Oden City in Jiuli, covered with stars and moons. Everyone prayed in their hearts that the madam and their highnesses would be safe and sound.
at the same time.
It's snowing heavily, and it's always winter in Suzugo-go. Shigezuki Gyumaru, who is personally holding a broom and a group of retainers to clean up the snow in the Tsunei Cemetery, has just received an urgent message from a samurai.
The Beast Pirates attack Oden Castle at night!
Massacre the people of Boluo Town!
Kaido threatened to wipe out all daimyo families and rebels in Wano!
This big news shocked everyone present. Even though the heavy snowflakes were flying around them in the cold wind, they didn't understand why Kaido suddenly went crazy?
Shigezuki Gyumaru, who looked almost the same as the future Nonoroa Zoro but was not related by blood, frowned and took out a small snail from his arms to contact Ieyasu Shigezuki of Shiromai Village.
They belong to two branches of the Shuangyue family. Normally, they live their own lives and no one can control the other, but they will contact each other when something happens.
It has to be said that their two families occupy half of the country of Wano and are the only samurai family that can rival the Kozuki family!
"I was just about to call you, but you also received the news, right?" Ieyasu Shigetsuki, who was thousands of miles away, said solemnly.
"Well, although I don't know what's going on with Kaido, but since he has already taken action, let's take this opportunity to eliminate the beasts and the big snake in one fell swoop!"
Shimozuki Ushimaru's sharp eyes looked at the dark clouds in the direction of Jiuli, and the two swords on his waist seemed to tremble slightly in response to the blood in his heart.
"certainly!"
"Although Oden's recent actions are disappointing, Kozuki is in trouble, and our daimyo cannot sit idly by and watch!"
The strong Ieyasu Shigezuki spoke to the snails, while letting his attendants put on the armor on him, and then held the katana that was brought to him with his right hand.
"The Fugetsu Oyuki Daimyo of Nozomi Village and the Ugetsu Tempura Daimyo of Uzuki Bowl Village just told me that they have gathered most of the samurai and are heading towards Kuri!"
"There is also news from the Flower Capital that Oden and his group of retainers have also set off!"
After hearing this, Shigetsuki Gyumaru pondered for a moment and said: "They are too anxious. They are too anxious. They should wait until everyone is gathered before going. But with Kozuki Oden here, there should be no big problem."
Although he didn't like Oden's promiscuous behavior over the past year, he still recognized his strength very much.
"I don't think we can leave the Black Carbon Orochi alone. He has the Imperial Guards in his hands. Although those ninjas are not good at fighting head-on, they are good at assassination and guerrilla warfare."
Ieyasu Shigetsuki walked to the balcony of his attic with a sullen face, looked down at the nearly four thousand sword-wielding samurai who had formed a group below, and asked: "What do you mean?"
Shigetsuki Gyumaru was rushing to Suzugo Castle in the east with the retainers behind him, and said seriously: "First take down the Heotan clan in the Flower Capital, and then go to support Oden and the others, so that we don't have to worry about problems in the rear!"
Originally, if the daimyo of Kozuki Oden, Usagi Bowl, and Nozomi were willing to wait for them to arrive before setting off, they could actually ignore the Black Carbon Orochi. The best option would be to concentrate on solving the Beast Pirates in Kuri first.
But since it has been divided into two parts, it is better to take over the Flower Capital first!
"OK!"
Shigetsuki Ieyasu of Hakuwu Township didn't hesitate much and decisively agreed to Ushimaru's battle plan. After the two sides ended the call, he pulled out his long sword with all his strength. The sharp tip pointed directly at the bright full moon in the sky. Under the eyes of thousands of warriors,
He looked up and shouted while watching.
"Take down the black charcoal! Destroy all the beasts!"
This shout seemed to have stirred up the turmoil in Wano Country, not only resounding throughout the night sky of Shirayomai Township, but also erupting in Rego, Nozomi, Usagiwan and other villages.
Even the many warriors in the Flower Capital who were still willing to follow the Guangyue clan rode their fast horses towards Jiuli Township after hearing the news.
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire Wano Country was extremely tense. Many people hurriedly hid in their homes. Even they felt that a storm was coming.
But they can only tremble and pray that bad luck will not befall them.
The sky above Ghost Island.
Five naval warships floated quietly above the black clouds. From their height, the moon in the night was surprisingly big and bright.
Very beautiful!
This was what Mihawk was thinking as he stood on the deck looking at the moon. His sharp corrugated golden eagle eyes seemed completely unconcerned about the chaotic situation on the big black island in the distance.
Be it blood, fire, or even the billowing smoke of galloping horses, they are not as worthy of concern as the Milky Way at this moment.
He actually wanted to go down and fight with the warriors who inherited the ancient sword skills, but Lord Im's mission was the most important!
"It's a pity that the bloodline of Shigezuki Ryoma is about to end here..." Mihawk sighed as he looked at the moon with his back to Gion.
