Chapter 137 Usurp the Country
"Eh, Kuri is our Ancestral Land!????"
Kurozumi Orochi looked at Kozuki Sukiyaki with disbelief and asked.
"Igyao~gyao~gyao~"
Kozuki Sukiyaki, after hearing Kurozumi Orochi's words, leaned forward, looked at Kurozumi Orochi's face and said, "It seems the Kozuki Family has erased a lot of things. That's right, Kuri was once the Fief of our Kurozumi Family, and your grandfather, who was also our eldest brother, was once the Lord of Kuri!"
"Kuri! Lord!"
"That's right, just like I told you before, the five Lord families who served the Kozuki Family are the Shimotsuki Family, Kurozumi Family, Amatsuki Family, Fuzuki Family, and Tenryu Family.
These five families respectively serve as the Lord of Kibi, Ringo, White Dance, Udon, Kuri, jointly protecting the Kozuki Family located in the Flower Capital.
Later, because a succession crisis occurred in the Kozuki Family, your grandfather wanted to make our Kurozumi Family the Shogun of Wano Country.
As you know, the birth of Kozuki Sukiyaki and the exposure of our Plan led to a catastrophic disaster for the Kurozumi Family. Semimaru and I escaped Wano Country at the risk of death. Originally, we planned to return to Wano Country to retaliate against the entire Kozuki Family when we were about to die, but unexpectedly, there is still a Bloodline Descendant of the Kurozumi Family like you.
This is the Decree given to our Kurozumi Family by heaven, to launch the most magnificent Revenge against those guys!"
A touch of fanaticism appeared on Kozuki Sukiyaki's face.
And a touch of resentment also appeared on Kurozumi Orochi's face. It can be said that in their view, all the misfortune they encountered was brought by the Kozuki Family.
"But what should we do to make Kozuki Oden go to Sea with Whitebeard?"
Kurozumi Orochi looked at Kozuki Sukiyaki and asked. After all, the foundation for their success in Usurp the Country lies in letting Kozuki Oden leave Wano Country. Otherwise, with Kozuki Oden's status as the legitimate heir and his powerful Strength, they would have no Opportunity at all.
"Igyao~gyao~gyao~"
Kozuki Sukiyaki laughed loudly, then looked at Kurozumi Orochi and said, "It's very simple. That brainless guy Kozuki Oden is determined to go to Sea. The only obstacle for him to go to Sea is those gangster Warriors under his command. After all, in their view, only when Kozuki Oden sits on the Shogun's position of Wano Country can their Loyalty and Glory be demonstrated. After all, the Title of Shogun's Retainer is very attractive among the Warriors of Wano Country."
"So what we have to do is to lure those guys away from Kozuki Oden's Side and create an Opportunity for Kozuki Oden."
And with Kozuki Sukiyaki's Words, the smile on Kurozumi Orochi's face became heavier and heavier.
"Moo hahaha!"
"Igyao~gyao~gyao~"
After laughing for a while, the two stopped. Sukiyaki also looked at Kurozumi Orochi and asked, "Did you find any clues about those People I asked you to investigate last time? What do they want to do by spending a lot of Money to buy those Things?"
Obviously, Kurozumi Higurashi, who planned to do such a big Thing as Usurp the Country, was undoubtedly extremely cautious. After all, as long as there is a slight mistake in this kind of Thing, it will be an irreversible end.
"I investigated. Those People are just a group of wealthy merchants. They buy those Things probably to enhance their Strength. After all, just like the local powerhouses of Wano Country, if you have Wealth but no corresponding Military Force, then you will only be making wedding clothes for others."
Kurozumi Orochi said indifferently. It can be said that as long as those People are not related to the Lord of Wano Country or affect his situation of Usurp the Country, he will not delve into this Thing.
Even if these People really have other ideas, when he becomes the Shogun of Wano Country, he can still do whatever he wants with them.
"Anyway, you should be more vigilant."
Kuri.
"I want to go to Sea! I want to go on an adventure!"
Kozuki Oden's Sound can be said to have resounded throughout the Kuri Lord's Castle.
"You know that this is absolutely impossible. As the Lord of Kuri and the heir of Wano Country, you are responsible for the future of the entire Kuri and Wano Country! Other Things can be discussed, but this kind of Thing is absolutely non-negotiable!"
The Warriors led by Kin'emon immediately and strongly opposed it.
Then Kozuki Oden also came to the Beach of Ida Port with Cat and Dog who were responsible for delivering Supplies to Whitebeard today.
"Let me go to Sea with you!"
During the meal, Kozuki Oden sincerely said to the Whitebeard Pirates again.
Whitebeard picked up the Wine Jar and took a hearty drink, glanced at Cat and Dog who were chatting enthusiastically with Marco, and directly rejected Kozuki Oden.
"You are not the kind of person who is willing to be subordinate to others. What kind of impact would it have on the team if I recruited a Weapon like you on the Ship? I have had too many bad experiences in the previous Pirate Crew. If you really want to go to Sea, then go by yourself. I was also alone when I went to Sea back then."
"I've tried dozens of times, but I've failed. I found that I have no talent in Navigation at all!"
Kozuki Oden, who was rejected, became anxious. If he relied on himself to go to Sea, he didn't know when he would have to wait.
"Gurarararara, what does that have to do with me? Pirates have no obligation to help everyone who wants to go to Sea. If you want to go to Sea, you might as well wait for a Pirate Crew willing to accept you!"
Whitebeard said with a smile, looking at Kozuki Oden who looked disappointed.
"Did those Pirates really say that?"
In a dimly lit Room in the Kuri Lord's Castle at night, several figures were secretly discussing something.
"That's right, meow. That big guy rejected Lord Kozuki Oden's request to go to Sea. I heard it with my own ears, meow."
"Hahaha, great!"
"That's right, Lord Kozuki Oden should give up the idea of going to Sea now, right."
"But for safety's sake, we should still help those guys repair the Ship as soon as possible, and then send them away from Wano Country."
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I will find those Craftsman overnight and ask them to speed up the progress."
"And me, I will prepare Supplies for those guys in advance, so that when the Ship is repaired, they will have no excuse to stay."
"Then I will have to trouble you all to protect our best Lord Kozuki Oden."
More than a Week later, the Moby Dick was basically repaired, and the time for the Whitebeard Pirates to leave Wano Country was getting closer and closer.
"What, the Shogun wants us to go to the Flower Capital!?"
Kin'emon looked at the person responsible for delivering the message in disbelief. He didn't know why the Shogun summoned them at this time? And the most important thing is that he didn't even let Lord Kozuki Oden go with them.
"Yes, that's right. The Shogun Lord said that since you are all Warriors of Lord Kozuki Oden, you should adapt to various affairs in the Shogun's Mansion in advance. So, let you Lords go to adapt in advance first, and when Lord Kozuki Oden takes over the Shogun's position, you can better assist Lord Kozuki Oden."
Hearing this, Kin'emon and others had no reason to refuse anymore.
However, before going to Flower Capital, they still have to warn those guys again. After all, Pirates are lawless guys, and with Kozuki Oden's Personality, troublesome Things are likely to happen.
