"What did you say?!" Denjiro was immediately furious, his frivolous and sleepy look calmed down, and his courage was like a long needle, piercing Eric's face: "The Kozuki family is the real ruler of Wano Country!"
"But the Kozuki clan has lost its dominance of Wano." Eric said casually, "Just eleven years ago."
Yamato was the first to speak: "Eric, we are not..."
"Xu~" Eric raised an index finger, signaling Yamato not to speak, and then said: "Kozuki Sukiyaki was killed by the black charcoal snake, allowing the black charcoal snake to steal the country of Wano, and Kozuki Oden gave up the general. He went to sea, and after returning home, he led the Nine Red Scabbards and lost to the Beast Pirates."
"..." Denjiro's face was so gloomy that he could shed tears.
"The country of Wano has been poisoned by the Black Carbon Orochi and Kaido for more than ten years. Isn't this all thanks to the 'wisdom' of Kozuki Oden?"
"You are not allowed to say that, Oden-sama!" Denjiro took action with anger, the blade flashed with cold light, and the Iai Slash tore the air, and the cold blade came to Eric's eyes in the blink of an eye.
clang!
Chitong's demon sword was unsheathed, and the sharp blade blocked Denjiro's attack path.
"Hey, hey." Eric raised his hands as if he were scared: "Don't do it if you disagree with me. Didn't I forget everything I wanted to say?"
"..." Denjiro quickly retreated to the gate of the house, still holding the sharp weapon in his hand and looking around to prevent him from being surrounded by members of the Dawn Pirates.
"Do you remember what I said before?" Eric asked with a smile.
"What?" Denjiro was stunned. He immediately thought of what Eric said to the two of them when he found Hiyori a few days ago:
"Really, that's okay." Eric shrugged: "I'm just telling you in advance, if you warriors don't contribute, don't expect to get spoils after the war."
"Did the 'trophies' you mentioned mean...?!"
"That's right, the prize is the country of Wano." Eric stretched out his arms and declared loudly: "From now on, the entire country of Wano is our territory!"
"Stop dreaming!" Denjiro stared at Eric: "Do you think I will let you get your wish?!"
"Is this really good?" Eric narrowed his eyes: "Can you protect the people behind you while dealing with us?"
Denjiro's hanging eyes burst out with strong murderous intent: "You...!"
"Denjiro." A gentle female voice suddenly came from behind, and it turned out that Hiyori had walked out of the secret room.
"Hiyori-sama!" Denjiro hurriedly stood in front of Hiyori: "Please run away! I will try my best to stop them here!"
Hiyori shook her head and walked past Denjiro to Eric.
"Hiyori-sama!"
Hiyori was wearing a gorgeous long-sleeved kimono and an exquisite mink shawl. She bowed her knees and said, "Thank you, Sir Eric, for avenging my father's bloodshed."
"I did not kill the Black Carbon Orochi to avenge your father." Eric was not impressed by the gratitude of the most beautiful woman in Wano Country: "I want to rule the Kingdom of Wano, and the two enemies of Black Carbon Orochi and Kaido of the Hundred Beasts must To be eradicated.”
"I know." Hiyori saluted again: "This prayer is for all the people of the Kingdom of He, thanking you for your salvation."
"Ara ala~" Kuang San said with a teasing smile: "I didn't expect Kozuki Oden's daughter to be so eloquent."
"Are you afraid that I will be detrimental to the people of Wano?" Eric smiled and shook his head: "We also have a companion named Shuangyue, Kuina!"
Guina, who is still underage, came to Eric with her head held high.
"Who is she?" Hiyori was startled.
"Her name is Shuangyue Guina,
She is the granddaughter of Kozaburo Shigetsuki. "
"She is a descendant of Kozaburo Shigezuki?" Hiyori moved her eyes, and then focused on the sword on Kuina's waist: "Is that sword--?!"
"Can everyone in Wano country recognize this sword?" Kuina sighed: "Yes, it is the famous sword Qiushui."
Hiyori reluctantly looked away from Qiushui's sword and said in a solemn tone: "Can you please return Qiushui to this country?"
Guina raised her head and glanced at Eric: "This knife does not belong to me. Eric lent it to me temporarily."
"Lord Eric..."
"We'll talk about Qiushui later." Eric raised his hand to interrupt Hiyori: "There are descendants of the Shimozuki clan among my companions. You should believe that I will not mess with the country of Wano. Hiyori Kozuki, you Now that you are the sole heir to the Kozuki family, are you willing to give up your position as the general of Wano Country?"
"..." Hiyori fell silent.
"Hiyori-sama!" Denjiro said anxiously: "You can't agree! The position of general of Wano Country should belong to Oden-sama..."
"Heh..." Eric sneered and asked Denjiro: "Kotsuki Oden doesn't value the position of general, does he?"
"Uh..." Denjiro was speechless and speechless.
"What did Kozuki Oden say to you guys at the last moment of the Kamaware Punishment?" Eric looked directly into Denjiro's eyes: "How did you answer him?"
Denjiro gritted his teeth and thought back to eleven years ago:
The temperature of the oil in the cauldron has reached over 700 degrees, and the Nine Heroes of the Red Scabbard on the door panel feel unbearably hot, let alone Kozuki Oden who is being tortured in the oil cauldron.
"If I survive this torture, I hope this country will be founded!"
Kinemon lowered his head and asked, "I heard you mention before that the country's 'locked-down' situation is related to Kozuki. What did you know about it at sea?"
"A long time ago, it was the Kozuki family that isolated this country from overseas!" Kozuki Oden said: "That was to protect this country from the 'huge force'."
"The world is waiting for someone, and when that person shows up, the country must be able to help him."
"Let me be clear first -" Kozuki Oden, who had always been called "Your Highness the Fool", finally understood: "Those guys will definitely kill me today!"
"I hope you will take my place and establish the country of Wano!"
"If that's the case, please Oden-sama come with us..." Denjiro was covered by Raizo:
"Your dream is our dream!"
Oden, who was waiting for this sentence, smiled: "Well said!"
Kozuki Oden managed to survive an hour, but was told by the rogue Kurotan Orochi on the spot: "I changed my mind a minute ago and changed it to 'shooting penalty', and everyone will die!"
"Leave it to you...!" Kozuki Oden shouted: "Let the country of Wano be founded!"
Kozuki Oden struggled to throw the nine people out, leaving himself in the boiling cauldron.
…
Denjiro: "..."
Seeing Denjiro's silence, Eric continued: "Kozuki Oden's dream is to found the country of Wano. In fact, he doesn't care who serves as the general of Wano."
"What about you?" Denjiro stared at Eric: "Who knows if you will become the next Black Carbon Orochi and destroy the entire Wano Country?!"
"Denjiro." Hiyori's voice calmed down the tense two parties: "I believe Sir Eric will not become the Black Carbon Orochi."
"Hiyori-sama?!"
Eric narrowed his eyes: "You won't be like your father and only trust others blindly, right?"
"No." Hiyori shook her head: "After I became the oiran, I have seen too many guests of all kinds. Only Sir Eric's eyes did not show the beautiful and narrow look."
"Yes, I commend you on this." Esdeath patted Eric on the shoulder.
Eric: "..."
"When fighting the Black Carbon Orochi's men, the battlefield was narrowed around Orochi City without destroying any of the surrounding residences, thus protecting the personal safety of the people in the Flower Capital."
Hiyori's sapphire blue pupils shone like stars: "For someone who loves and cares for the people so much, I firmly believe that the country of Wano will become even better under the governance of Sir Eric!"
"Ha~" Eric let out a long sigh: "I don't know if you have the joy of growing up in your mind, but you would optimistically believe in a stranger you have only met once."
"However, I will indeed govern the country of Wano well." Eric changed the topic and said seriously: "And make the people here happier."
"Then I would like to thank you all in advance." Hiyori bowed deeply.
"We also ask Princess Hiyori to go to Orochi City with us and inform the entire Wano Country of the death of Black Carbon Orochi and Kaido." Eric paused and said to Denjiro: "You can also come with us. Come."
"This is natural." Denjiro came behind Hiyori without saying a word: "I will not let you take Hiyori-sama away!"
Hiyori whispered: "Denjiro."
Eric slapped his head: "By the way, you must also bring the corpse of the black charcoal snake, otherwise your words will be unfounded."
Denjiro hesitated and took the lead: "Please follow me."
Hiyori bowed and said, "Please Sir Eric and everyone else, please wait here for a moment while I take off my makeup and change my clothes. I don't want to bring shame to the name of Kozuki."
Eric nodded: "Okay."
…
On the way to Orochi City, Yamato finally couldn't help it, and whispered in Eric's ear: "Eric, do you want to rule Wano Country and become the general of Wano Country?"
"Although there are some differences, the meaning is similar." Eric nodded: "Otherwise, how can we establish the country of Wano?"
"But..." Yamato hesitated to speak, and finally asked: "Aren't you going to take me out to sea? After you rule Wano Country and become the general of Wano Country, how can you go out to sea with me for adventure?"
"At least you don't want to go to sea this year." Eric curled his lips: "Control the polluted river water and soil, arrest criminal gangs, build the country of Wan, and develop the economy. We have a lot of things to do."
"Ah...!" Yamato held his head: "Why is it so troublesome!"
"Then you were still clamoring to become Kouzuki Oden?" Eric teased: "Kouzuki Oden transformed Kuri when he was young, conquered the villains there and taught farming and construction techniques, making Kuri a paradise."
Yamato whispered: "I-don't I want to be Kozuki Oden?"
"But you inherited Kozuki Oden's dream, didn't you?"
"Uh..." Yamato was speechless.
"Don't be anxious." Eric smiled and said, "You can wait for twenty years, but you can't wait for one year?"
"Okay!" Yamato clenched his fists: "I will work hard and strive to complete the governance of Wano Country as soon as possible!"
Then Yamato turned to look at Hiyori and asked Eric: "Is she Kozuki Oden's daughter?"
"Yes." Eric nodded: "Her name is Mitsuyuki Hiyori, a little girl with a strong heart."
While several people were talking, the towering Serpent City was already in front of them.
Everyone climbed onto the Orochi City and took in the scenery of the entire Flower City.
"Kurumi, please let your clones open the light-painting snails everywhere."
Kuang San nodded and agreed.
Baiwu area.
"What?" People on the street turned to look at the screen and asked, "What happened?"
Jiuli area.
"Then, that figure, could it be..." A passerby looked at the picture in disbelief.
Eric stood on the castle tower and declared: "We, the Dawn Pirates, have defeated the Beast Pirates and the Black Carbon Orochi's troops. The bodies of Kaido and Orochi are here!"
The corpses of Black Carbon Orochi and Kaido of the Hundred Beasts stayed in the center of the screen for two seconds, then turned back to Eric: "Also, the sole heir of the Kozuki clan, Princess Hiyori, has something to say to you!"
Akin turned the image phone bug and pointed the eyes of the image phone insect at Kozuki Hiyori, and the people of Wano country suddenly saw a beautiful appearance.
Hiyori took a deep breath and declared loudly: "I am Hiyori Kozuki, the biological daughter of Kozuki Oden, and the sole heir of the Kozuki clan."
The people of Wano suddenly cried out in unison. uuread a book
"Princess Hiyori!"
"Great! Lord Oden's daughter is still alive! Wano Country can be saved!"
"Princess Hiyori, please serve as a general and save the country of Wano!"
Many citizens hope that Hiyori will serve as a general and save Wano, which is on the verge of destruction.
"Everyone." Hiyori spoke passionately: "Because of the rule of the Black Carbon Orochi, the country of Wano has become unfortunate! The land is barren, the rivers are polluted, and thieves are rampant! However, it is Eric-sama and him who end all this. companion!"
"I think I can't govern Wano Country well, so I will pass the post of general of Wano Country to Lord Eric!" Hiyori paused for a moment.
"Eh?!"
"Hiyori-sama, no!"
"Has Hiyori-sama been threatened by someone?!"
The people of Wano were shocked, and many former officials of the Kozuki family were gearing up to attack Eric.
Hiyori seemed to hear the voice of the people and bowed: "I voluntarily passed on the position of general to Lord Eric without any threats from anyone!"
"Hiyori-sama..." Denjiro gritted his teeth.
Hiyori turned and walked towards Eric: "Please Sir Eric, please govern Wano Country better."
"I will." Eric nodded in agreement, and then said to the video phone bug: "From today on, all citizens of this country will be exempt from taxes for two years!"
The people who watched the video were stunned.
Eric continued: "In order to make you forget the reign of terror of Black Carbon Orochi and Kaido, I decided to change the Country of Wano to the Country of Flowers!"
"!!"
