People are pirates, this navy is not very fair!

The second half of the great channel, the new world.

Near the waters of Wano Country, thick dark clouds cover the sky and the sun, the wind howls incessantly, turbulent sea currents and vortices surround the surroundings, and there are reefs all over the seabed.

If you don't have good navigation skills or are not familiar with the topography of the nearby seabed, the boat will be destroyed and people will be killed if you are not careful.

On the tall rocky shores, there are watchtowers and forts, with sentries from the Beast Pirates on them, always alerting the surroundings...

If a ship of unknown origin suddenly approaches, they will sound the alarm and fire and sink it.

Even if there are strong men on board the foreign ships, they can resist the bombardment fired from the rocky shore, but when the ships go deep inside, they still face a huge problem...

Wano Country is surrounded by a tall rock wall, with waterfalls hundreds of meters high on all sides, with water rushing down.

Normally, there are only two ways for a foreign ship that has forced its way onto the rocky wall.

One is to use ropes to tie up the giant carp that appear from time to time and swim upstream, and use them to pull the ship upward.

The second is to abandon the ship and choose to climb hundreds of meters high rock walls with bare hands.

however……

When you climb up the wall, you will be disappointed to find that there are waters above with the same dangerous terrain and rapid currents as below.

What's even more distressing is that there are still forts on those rocky shores, guarded by sentries...

However, if the ships of the Beast Pirates want to enter the country of Wano, it will be much easier. They will neither be bombarded by sentries nor have to bother to climb the rocky walls.

They have a special mechanism channel under the waterfall and on the rock wall, which can send the ships in the sea below directly to the water above, thus directly entering the country of Wano.

In general, due to the dangerous terrain of Wano Country, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is basically impossible for ordinary forces to directly send troops to attack.

Unless we attack with an absolute advantage of dozens of times in terms of strength and regardless of casualties, we can only watch from afar.

Kaido of the Hundred Beasts chose Wano Country as his base camp, which is equivalent to having an impregnable basic base.

Even if one day Kaido is defeated and all the island territories except Wano are occupied by others, he will still have the capital to make a comeback...

In the sky, Sephiroth used the spray in advance and entered the invisible state. Following the guidance of the record pointer, he flew for a long time and finally arrived at the edge of the Wano Sea.

Immediately afterwards, he retracted the black wings behind his back, fell lightly from the air, and stood on a rocky shore.

The ability of transparent invisibility can only deceive vision, but it cannot hide from the sight, color, and thermal imaging equipment.

Considering that this is the base camp of the Beast Pirates and the situation of the enemy is unknown, Sephiroth can only choose to play it safe.

He raised his right hand and used the ability of the vampire fruit to split a black bat from his palm and control it to fly to the country of Wano.

Soon, the bat, which was traveling at a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour, passed through the layers of guards at high altitude and entered the waters of Wano Country.

Sephiroth also saw Kaido's base camp, Onigashima, placed in the waters of Wano Country through the bat's vision sharing.

However, he did not let the black bat land on Onigashima, but flew to the main island of Wano Country.

Although Sephiroth's escape ability was first-rate, the situation in the enemy camp was unknown, and he did not want to rush into it and cause unnecessary trouble.

Wano Country is divided into six regions: Kuri, Usagiwan, Nozomi, Flower City, Suzuo, and Hakumai. They are not bordering each other. If you want to go from one township to another, you must pass through the border between the two townships. connecting bridge between.

It is worth mentioning that the climate of Wano is very unique. At the same time, the climate of each region is different. One region may be icy and snowy, while another may be as warm as spring.

For example, Suzugo has a harsh winter with white snow all year round, while in the Flower City, it is like spring all year round with flowers in full bloom.

....................

Jiuli, Bianli village.

In a dense bamboo forest, the midday sun shines on the ground through the green bamboo leaves.

A crimson thin line cut through the void, and amidst the ripples of space, a space folding door quietly opened.

Sephiroth, who was still invisible, stepped out from the rocky shore and arrived in the bamboo forest.

Squeak...!

Black bats split from Sephiroth's body, completely destroying the color coating on his body, causing him to passively exit the invisibility state, revealing a man wearing a black hooded cloak and a white face-covering mask. he.

This is not the only bad thing about people eating Devil Fruit. The ability is too rigid. When the color coating is damaged to a certain extent, it will automatically disappear...

Under his control, more than a dozen black bats flew towards the Weli Village not far away.

Through visual sharing, Sephiroth presented every scene in the village in his mind.

In a series of low wooden houses, there lived villagers with numb eyes and sallow faces.

Vegetation crops in farmland are basically withered and yellowed.

The water in the river, under the sunlight, shows a vague color.

Ever since Heotan Orochi took the position of General of Wano with the support of Kaido, he began to build weapons factories on every mountaintop in the country, and he also deliberately discharged sewage into the river. It pollutes water sources, thereby completely destroying the surrounding environment, making the land gradually unable to be cultivated...

The Kingdom of Sardo and Dressrosa also established weapons factories, but with reasonable planning arrangements, the factories processed the wastewater discharged accordingly, so that it did not have much impact on the ecological environment.

The Black Carbon Orochi deliberately destroyed the land of Wano. In fact, he wanted to implement his own tyrannical rule, completely driving the citizens of Wano to desperation and making them live a life of starvation.

Either starve to death in the wilderness, or you can only willingly join Kaido's sweatshop, earn a meager amount of money, eat chaff-like food, and survive...

The Black Carbon Orochi implements such a cruel and unkind rule. The root of all this comes from his hatred for the Kozuki family!

More than sixty years ago, the Kozuki family of Wano, the general, was troubled by the lack of heirs. The then Heitan daimyo thought there was an opportunity to replace him, so he plotted to poison the remaining four daimyo one by one.

however……

While the general was still alive, his son Kozuki Sukiyaki was born, the Kozuki family had an heir, and the Kuotan family's conspiracy was discovered.

Daimyo Heitan's move undoubtedly offended the five major families of Wano. In desperation, Daimyo Heitan could only choose to commit suicide out of fear of guilt.

Because the Heotan family's conspiracy to rebel was exposed, his family members were also implicated, hunted down by subordinates of the five major families, and persecuted by the people of Wano.

Kuotan Orochi, the grandson of Kuotan Daimyo, is one of them...

In this life full of darkness and despair, the barely surviving Black Carbon Orochi's hatred for the Kozuki family and the people of Wano Country continued to deepen, causing his heart to continue to twist!

It wasn't until Heitan Orochi met Heitan Muchan and Heitan Chanmaru that his life took a turn for the better!

Because these two people lived overseas all year round, they were able to escape the purge of the Kozuki family.

Black Tan Mu Cicada has the ability to imitate the fruit, while Black Tan Cicada has the ability to block the fruit.

In order to revive the Kuotan family and avenge the Kozuki family, the two decided to help Kuotan Orochi seek for Wano and help him ascend to the position of general of Wano.

Black Tan Muchan specially gave the snake fruit, phantom beast species, and Yamata no Orochi form, this god-level devil fruit to the other party, hoping that he could become an extremely powerful samurai!

however……

Facts have proved that no matter how powerful the potential of the phantom beast fruit is, if the eater himself is too weak and does not work hard to exercise and develop his abilities, it will be in vain in the end!

After eating the Yamata-no-Orochi fruit, Kuotan-no-Orochi only grew taller and fatter, and only had eight lives.

For a strong person, having seven extra lives out of thin air is like going to heaven. There is no need to worry about injury and death, and they can fight to the end without any scruples.

but......

For the weak, it is just a process of appearing several times out of thin air and being repeatedly trampled to death!

Fortunately, Kutan Kuchan and Kutan Chanmaru are both awesome enough, and the shogun's silly son Kozuki Oden is also really stupid!

When Kozuki Oden left the country of Wano, followed Whitebeard and Roger as pirates, and traveled around the outside world, Kuo Tan and the others felt that they had waited for their opportunity!

So, they secretly imprisoned the Wano general Kozuki Sukiyaki who was suffering from an incurable disease and was physically weak. The Black Tan Muchan used his ability to imitate the fruit to pretend to be Kozuki Sukiyaki. Burning, in front of his daimyo, passed the position of general to Kuotan Orochi.

At this point, the two of them were able to support the short-sighted Black Carbon Orochi to become the general of Wano Country.

After decades of forbearance and planning, Black Carbon Orochi gained power and became a general. In order to consolidate his dominance, he directly chose to lure the wolf into the house and recruited Kaido to Wano Country.

Immediately afterwards, he began to take revenge on the entire country of Wano, making the entire country miserable...

There is no harm without comparison. Although the stupid son of the shogunate, Kozuki Oden, used to do various things, fight and hurt people, rape civilian girls, and cook oden on the flames of other people's cremated remains...

but.......

The people of Wano Country compared Kozuki Oden with Heotan Orochi and found that this silly son of the general's family was simply a great philanthropist!

The lesser of two evils….

As a result, the people of Wano who had been completely brainwashed by the feudal monarchy system, with the deliberate encouragement of Kozuki Oden's wife, Mrs. Toki, began to have all kinds of groundless beautification and conjectures about Kozuki Oden, thinking that he would definitely be The great hero who rescued the country of Wano from the Black Carbon Orochi, his misdeeds in the past have been selectively forgotten by the people.

In this way, it is clear that Kozuki Oden has been out to sea for several years and has never returned. He has never asked about the life and death of the people of Wano. However, when the black charcoal snake is confused and cannot understand, Kozuki Oden's reputation But it’s getting higher and higher...! ?

Finally, in the year 1497 of the Emirate Calendar, the Roger Pirates who arrived at "Lavdru" were secretly disbanded, and Kozuki Oden returned home!

After five years of traveling at sea, under the words and deeds of Roger and Whitebeard, Kozuki Oden finally became a bit like a normal person, learned to take responsibility, and learned to care about the people around him...

In order to respond to the expectations of the people of Wano, Kozuki Oden prepared to regain the position of general from Kuotan Orochi. He entered Kuotan Orochi's palace and prepared to chop off the opponent's head.

However......

The barrier fruit ability of Kurotan Chanmaru is too powerful. Under his protection, even if Kozuki Oden tried his best to chop it, he still couldn't cut through the barrier and directly hurt the Kurotan Orochi that was protected within it. , and the other party also used this to avoid the assassination of daimyo and dissatisfied people.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Hetan Orochi came up with a plan. He used the lives of hundreds of Wano people to threaten and deceive Kozuki Oden, letting him dance naked in the street for five years, and promised to keep it for five years. Mitsuru, he and Kaido will leave the country.

but......

The actual intention of the Black Carbon Orochi is to completely destroy the reputation that Kozuki Oden has accumulated inexplicably, so that the people of Wano will be completely disappointed in him, thereby reducing his overall strength. On the other hand, Kaido can also take advantage of Use the buffer period to enhance strength and develop power...

When the agreed five-year period expired, Black Carbon Orochi sneered and told Kozuki Oden the truth.

At this point, Kozuki Oden completely made up his mind and led his nine retainers to fight Kaido to the death...

When Kouzuki Oden and Kaido were fighting to the death, Heitan Muchan used the ability to imitate the fruit and turned into his son Kozuki Momonosuke, causing him to be distracted and injured by Kaido, leading to his defeat. , and was eventually fried and cooked to death....

At this point, Wano Country has completely lost the power to threaten Black Carbon Orochi and Kaido, causing the entire country to fall into endless dire straits.

Therefore, Sephiroth's evaluation of Kozuki Oden is...a powerful fool!

After a while, Sephiroth relied on more than a dozen bats scattered in Wengli Village to conduct reconnaissance searches. He finally found a white-haired old man with a Tengu mask on his face in a small temple in the village.

Because he searched the entire village with a bat, he only saw an old man with a mask on his face!

Thinking about it, this guy should be the person he came to Nougasa Village to find on this trip... the former general of Wano Country, Kozuki Sukiyaki!
