LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 180: 180. Sheathing
Kuri, Wano.
Hiding on the edge of the ruins, Kin'emon and Momonosuke looked at the desolate and dilapidated scene outside, feeling despair and uneasiness again.
Kiku...
I wonder if he has contacted Denjiro, Kawamatsu, and the others...
Raizo, Nekomamushi, and Inuarashi are all dead.
The Nine Red Scabbards are already incomplete.
So who are the "nine shadows are cast woven together through twenty years of moonlits nights" predicted by Lady Toki...
Thinking of what Lady Toki said to him before sending them away, Kin'emon stood up and looked into the distance.
"Kin'emon, where are you going?"
Kin'emon looked to the east and pondered for a moment. Although it was not the best idea to go out at this time...but...
"I'm going to Okobore Town. When I left, my wife once said that she entrusted Oden's Ame no Habakiri and Enma to someone. They are the weapons of Oden and a symbol of 'legacy'."
Momonosuke buzzed his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just timidly crawled out from the corner of the ruins and walked to Kin'emon.
At this time, at Port Habu, Kozuki Sukiyaki got off the boat organized by CP and rushed towards Okobore Town.
During his time "overseas," his understanding of the world has completely changed.
That organization called the "World Government"...
The "Rairyu", who was already nearly invincible in the eyes of the world, seemed to have no confidence in defeating them.
Oden...Are they the power you fear?...
In the five years since Kozuki Oden returned to Wano to fight Kaido until he was shot in a boiling pot, father and son did not meet.
For the first period of time, he was imprisoned underground in the Flower Capital, but later after he escaped, Oden's every move was under the surveillance of Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido.
Until the last moment, Toki escaped from the fire scene and came to Amigasa Village. In addition to entrusting Ame no Habakiri and Enma to him, Toki also told him that there must be a "destined" person in the future who will come and save this country.
Before he could ask in detail, Toki left.
Kaido and Orochi's pursuers followed.
Soon after, he heard the news.
Toki took the initiative to return to Kuri and bury Oden in the sea of fire, leaving behind the legend and hope of "nine shadows."
This legend has always sustained this country and its people.
Rairyu...
When Kozuki Sukiyaki met him for the first time, he was surprised by his power. At such a young age, he could tame the famous sword, one of the twelve Supreme Grade swords, and temper it into a black sword.
Oden is nowhere near as good.
And according to the legends he heard in G-5, even the former "Pirate King" Roger and "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate could not do this.
When he discovered Dylan's love for Tama, he immediately seized the opportunity in exchange for Dylan's commitment.
And now his power...
Kozuki Sukiyaki was convinced that Adams Dylan could defeat Kaido.
He just needs to come up with enough exchange value after defeating Kaido...
Wano still has a lot of treasures.
...
Onigashima.
After Jack's death, the position of the All-Star has been vacant.
Since Wano is in a closed state, it is not easy for the Beasts Pirates to go to sea.
But they have always maintained keen communication with news from the outside world.
Nowadays, there are no more places for pirates to stay in the entire "New World," and their already weak intelligence network has even developed huge gaps.
Maha, the CP0 member responsible for the Wano transaction, is also in a lot of pain now.
Mariejois has given clear orders:
"Get ready to take over Wano."
When Maha received this order, he almost thought that someone was setting him up behind his back.
Take over?
From whom?
Kaido? Or Rairyu?
Unless...
Maha pondered for a moment, thinking about the rumor that had been circulating recently.
"Rairyu is about to challenge Mariejois for the throne."
As a senior member of CP0, Maha has more information than others. The biggest problem is—
If Rairyu doesn't go to Mariejois, then there is almost nothing the Celestial Dragons can do against him.
Just like the sea emperors who have been entrenched in the "New World" for the past twenty years.
The "National Treasure" is also flawed!
And Wano is exactly such a place with an almost exaggerated location.
The World Government has coveted it for hundreds of years but has never been able to do so.
This guy Kaido...
His performance this year has also been very abnormal.
...
"Brother Kaido..."
King watched as Kaido, who was already drunk, walked up to him and called out in a low voice.
There is already news that that man's fleet has set sail.
Based on newspaper speculation, the G-5 fleet's horsepower does not appear to be worried about the bad weather outside Wano.
Kaido opened his eyes slightly, but his gaze did not fall on King.
He opened the gate to Onigashima.
It seems that he is waiting for someone to arrive.
"Has he come?"
"Already leaving."
"Oh, let's see how strong the guy who can defeat Linlin is."
When Dylan attacked before, the two sides only had a very brief fight.
Although Kaido was penetrated by "Kunlun", he didn't care.
After hearing Kaido's response, King didn't ask any more questions. Now that he had made a decision, there was only one fight.
"King..."
Just when King turned around and was about to go out, Kaido drunkenly muttered to himself: "Is this world getting better?"
King's body stiffened slightly.
This question...he couldn't answer.
He once thought Kaido was Joy Boy because he had an almost invincible body and fighting spirit.
But...
Since coming to Wano...
No...it's that since Kozuki Oden was executed, King can clearly feel the changes in Kaido.
They came to Wano with the original plan to stock up on troops.
Weapons, wealth, abilities.
When the time is right, they will launch a huge war together to destroy the world.
Destroy Mariejois, destroy the kingdoms, destroy the nobility.
But since Oden was executed, Brother Kaido's heart has changed.
He...
Although he enslaved this place, sometimes King would have a little doubt.
For example...
Brother Kaido is also protecting this place.
"Maybe, the world outside has changed a lot...but..."
Before King could finish speaking, Kaido's snoring sounded.
King glanced at Kaido's body. The circular scar on his left abdomen was still shocking.
The tender red flesh seems to have grown just yesterday.
But...
It has been more than a year since the "Rairyu" raided Wano!
An ominous premonition arose in King's heart.
...
"You don't refuse?"
Ain stood on the bow of the main ship of the G-5 fleet, and Dylan walked up to her and asked.
Ain shook her head.
"My purpose in joining the Marines is to wipe out the pirates, and now..."
She looked at the squally wind and thunderclouds that were already faintly visible in the distance.
"To be honest, without you, I don't think they would have been able to reach this point relying on Fleet Admiral Sakazuki. My long-cherished wish has basically come true."
"You can refuse."
Ain turned her head and looked at Dylan:
"A sword should be sheathed after it has completed its mission."
