Chapter five hundred and thirty-one, how do you want to die?
Wazhi Country, Jiuli, Toushan.
"I see, is there a big shot here?"
There was a faint glow from the fire in the cave, and the barbecue grease dripped from the bonfire, crackling together with the burning torch. Smelling the aroma, some bandits swallowed in dismay.
Gulu!
"Well, let's eat first and then talk when we're full."
Seeing this, the tall and fat man known as Shutenmaru showed a gentle smile that was different from his usual, and took the lead in picking up a roasted bird.
"oh!!"
"Long live the boss!!"
The other bandits then started to take action, and for a while the cave was filled with the sound of swallowing and gnawing.
In the country of Wano, except for the Flower Capital, there is a food shortage in other areas. Kaido's arsenal has seriously polluted water sources and land, and crops have not been harvested, making it difficult for the people to eat.
Even the bandits had trouble finding targets when they wanted to steal food, and they were still starving.
No one wants to miss a long-awaited meal.
Jiutianwan tore off a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly, then suddenly looked to his side: "Then, tell me about that man."
"Yes Yes!"
Not only did I grab enough food when I went down the mountain this time, I also brought back a serpent who was transporting food to Huadu.
They were very clean and good at hiding. Orochi and Kaido sent troops to encircle and suppress him many times, but all ended in failure. Later, thinking that he only dared to cause trouble in Kuri, they simply gave up attacking directly and chose to block the area of activity, out of sight and out of mind.
Therefore, this subordinate knows very well that if they cooperate, they may die, but if they do not cooperate, they will definitely die.
"That happened five days ago, Lord Kaido..."
"Um?"
"Kai... Kaido and Orochi went to Port Ida, saying they were going to welcome a guest from overseas..."
Subordinates don't know much.
After briefly talking about Lovett's information and the undead troops docked at Port Ida, he knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, this is all I know. I'm just a guard responsible for delivering food. Please let me go."
Bar!"
"So it turns out that we are busy preparing for the New Year celebrations and have to continue to provide banquets, so we increased the food supply...?"
Shutenmaru ignored his plea for mercy and fell into deep thought.
At this time, a man dressed as a warrior with a serious expression said, "Speaking of which, I seem to have heard of this name."
"oh?"
With his eyes half open, Shutenmaru looked over.
The man was sitting on the ground, and now he moved his knees to face him, and replied: "A year ago, a group of pirates broke into Wano Country and were active in the area of Wengli Village. After learning about it, my subordinates sent people to investigate, but they went
It was too late and they had already left."
"But the strange thing is that not only the village of Weili, but also the nearby villages showed no signs of being plundered... For safety reasons, they did not dare to stay for a long time, so they gathered some information and then returned."
"Well, that's what happened."
Picking up the wine gourd hanging on his waist, Jiutianwan took two sips: "I remember I gave the order to leave it alone. Since the other party has left, there is no need to cause trouble."
Of course, this group of bandits led by Shutenmaru are not bandits in the true sense.
After Kozuki Oden was killed more than ten years ago, the black charcoal snake went crazy and attacked the retainers and samurai who were loyal to Kozuki Oden. Countless people were executed, and some even escaped.
They are some of the warriors who do not succumb to the black charcoal snake.
Even if he becomes a bandit, he still adheres to his bushido.
Kuri is Kozuki Oden's territory, and protecting Kuri is also their loyalty.
"Then what?"
He asked: "I can't remember a little bit."
"yes!"
The subordinate replied: "At that time, the group of pirates mentioned the name Black Earl. It is said that he is one of the most dangerous pirates on the sea. Even their captain did not dare to be careless and sent them to clean up the intruders in the territory.
So as not to give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of you."
"And their captain..."
The subordinate took a deep breath: "It is Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!"
Bang!
The mouth of the gourd was crushed by brute force. Jiutianwan's eyes, which were always half-open, suddenly widened and he frowned and looked over: "Who are you talking about?"
When the bandits around him heard the commotion, they all turned around and held their breaths in concentration.
"Yes, he is the captain of the pirate group that Lord Oden once belonged to, the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"O...Oden-sama?"
Next to him, the guard who had been transferred was full of fear: "I know, it turns out you are..."
Pfft————!!
Before he finished speaking, a big knife easily cut open his neck, and blood spurted out.
Hiss!
There was a sound like air leaking as blood sprayed around and poured beside the bonfire.
Plop!
The guard fell down unwillingly, with regret in his eyes.
Why should I tell this?
Crazy?
However, what he didn't know was that whether he said it or not, he would die.
Shutenmaru and others didn't care because they had no intention of letting him go. This kind of scum who helped Black Carbon Orochi do evil would not be a pity to die.
Boom!
Quietly stood up with a sword on his shoulder. His broad figure was as majestic as a hill. If you look closely, you will find that Jiutianwan is not simply fat, but his muscles are too developed, and his body is bulging.
"I see, it seems that Kaido, an opponent that even Whitebeard dares not underestimate, has found a good ally!"
"Boss, do you want to take action?"
The subordinate asked eagerly, his eyes filled with anger.
They have tolerated it for too long these years, and things have gotten worse.
In 8 years, a group of samurai were unwilling to accept the status quo and went to Onigashima to attack Kaido, but no one survived.
Their blood feud with Kaido and the Black Carbon Orochi is irreversible. If they don't succeed, they will die!
but……
"hold on!"
Shutenmaru said without hesitation: "Overseas is different from Wano. I heard Oden-sama say that the powerful pirates there are unwilling to surrender to anyone else, and they fight and kill each other every day."
"In just the few years he was on Whitebeard's ship, he experienced hundreds of battles, large and small."
"A guy who even Whitebeard is afraid of has cooperated with Kaido. It seems that he has strengthened the opponent's power, and the hope is getting slimmer. But as long as Kaido can't make him surrender, this is a hidden danger!"
"Boss, could it be that..."
"Ah, I thought so too."
Shutenmaru half-squinted his eyes again: "Oden-sama asked us to launch a counterattack twenty years later. Maybe... this is the opportunity."
"Finally, are we going to wait for this day?"
The corners of his mouth cracked and he ordered everyone: "Keep your spirits up and hone your skills. Don't be unable to lift the knife when the time comes, or you will be in trouble."
The subordinate covered his eyes and seemed to be crying and laughing: "Don't worry, boss, just take care of it!"
"but……"
Jiutianwan frowned slightly: "Don't act rashly."
Looking at the deep and dark forest outside the cave, Shutenmaru fell into deep thought.
…
Mrs. Toki used the Fruit of Time to send away five people, Kinemon, Kanjuro, Kikunojo, Raizo, and her own son, Kozuki Momonosuke.
Of course Shutenmaru didn't know that Kanjuro was Orochi's spy. He was worried about the other people left behind.
It's good that Inuarashi and Neko Viper are out of the country, but there is still no news about Kawamatsu and Denjiro.
Shutenmaru didn't think that their death would be hidden by Orochi. However, unlike his gratitude to Oden, they were two beings who fanatically admired Oden. If they knew about this opportunity, they might do something.
Irrational things.
The country of peace, the capital of flowers, the guest house.
This is a manor that Hetan Orochi ordered his subordinates to quickly renovate and build a noble family's mansion within a few days. Even Kaido said that, so of course he wouldn't dare to neglect it.
Even though Lovett stopped attending the banquet after the first day, the party that lasted for a week still did not dare to stop.
Boom, boom, boom!
Standing in front of the door, Guang Yueri, who went by the pseudonym Xiao Zi, picked up the door knocker and knocked on the door with a bit of nervousness.
At the same time, he looked around suspiciously.
"For such an important guest, Orochi didn't arrange any escorts?"
There are few people on the empty streets. Although Kaido is also afraid of the other party's strength, it's not like there are no gatekeepers to arrange it, right?
However, the next second, she immediately knew the answer.
Lowering his head and looking at the open eye in the center of the door, Xiao Zi's first reaction was: "Was this pattern here just now?"
Then suddenly woke up.
No, absolutely not just now!
This is not a pattern either!
Phew!
"Who is coming?"
At the same time, the big red lanterns hanging on the left and right of the door suddenly opened the one eye in the middle of the belly, stretched out two small hands on the left and right, pulled out a long knife from the belly, and extended the tail like a snake to drive the body out.
Looking around, the dimly lit streets, whether they were stone slabs or walls, seemed to be alive at this moment. Eyes without a trace of emotion locked onto the visitors. The scene was strange and terrifying.
Only then did Xiao Zi understand.
It’s not that there are no guards, it’s that everything around you is guarded!
It’s obvious that they only know the tip of the iceberg about the Black Earl’s methods!
At this time, another mouth grew out of the gate, speaking human words: "Geisha-chan Murasaki, right?"
