The demise of Orochi did not cause any ripples. In fact, this guy's disappearance in Wano Country was a hundred benefits with no harm.

First of all, the daimyo successfully walked out of prison and regained their freedom, avoiding the tragic ending of dying in prison.

Of course, even if they escaped from death and got out of prison, they would still have to face the few remaining warriors and retainers, as well as the territory that was almost desolate under the oppression of the giant snake.

I believe that as long as the Beasts Pirates come to them with "sincerity" and ask for cooperation, they will be very happy. After all, everyone in Wano Country knows who rescued the people from the rule of Orochi, who defeated the Yamata-no-Orochi that symbolizes disaster, and who brought the possibility of wealth and prosperity to Wano Country!

Without a doubt, it was Yakumo Shiro! It was the beast!

The Beasts Pirates are a qualified neutral party, or in other words, the image that Yakumo Shiro created for them is that of a qualified businessman.

When he first came to Wano Country, faced with the two major forces of Orochi and Kozuki, he decisively chose Orochi, who sacrificed more, rather than the stubborn and weak Kozuki. It was also through cooperation with the Beasts Pirates that Orochi successfully seized the real power of Wano Country.

But now, Orochi's rule has affected the stability of Wano Country and the interests of the Beasts Pirates here, so they turned their spearheads towards Orochi.

People only remember the results and not the process. Perhaps the Great Snake did rely on the power of the beasts to seize power, but the final result was that after just half a month, it was destroyed by the joint efforts of the beasts, the fur tribe, and the warriors.

Similarly, for the majority at the bottom of society, they are more concerned about interests. No matter who is in power, as long as he can bring benefits to themselves, he is a good person in power.

Under the influence of such reality and thought, what people saw and thought was what Yakumo Shiro wanted them to see and think, and Amatsuki Toki's assist on the battlefield further stimulated this understanding -

Under the leadership of the Beasts Pirates, you will gain more benefits and have a more peaceful and stable life!

Who would go back to the days when there was a better option? Who would kowtow to the daimyo or general in order to get further?

The former Kozuki Oden was a weak and incompetent fool, and this view was also carried over to other daimyo by the people. Although they were native daimyo of Wano Country, they were unable to judge the situation and watched helplessly as Orochi reached a cooperation with the Beasts Pirates, which ultimately ruined themselves and the people.

In the end, it was Orochi himself who hindered the Beasts Pirates and was destroyed. If these so-called daimyo were to rely on themselves, how long would it take to return to a peaceful and stable life? Ten years? Or twenty years?

How many people would still remember them when that time comes? How could the damage be easily repaired when it has already been done?

Well, after saying so much, there is only one simple fact: the current power vacuum in Wano Country can be said to be left to Yakumo Shiro to seize. As long as he wants, a thorough reform can be carried out at any time without any delay.

At the same time, having said that, the demise of Orochi also allowed Toki and her daughter to completely put down the burden hidden in their hearts. Even though they don't talk about it normally, how could the blood feud be easily forgotten?

Once such feelings are released, the changes that are brought about are enormous. The grace of saving lives and the grace of revenge make Amatsuki Toki and Hiyori completely regard Yakumo Shiraha as their final destination, their most solid support in the world, and their closest family.

And this change will surely bloom the most beautiful flowers in the near future~

"What a magical fruit! It has lost seven heads, but it is still alive. Should we say it is "strong and unyielding"? Or is it just trying to survive by cutting off its head? What do you think, Maria?"

In the prison of Onigashima, Orochi, who had already fallen in a pool of blood, fainted here like a dead dog, his body tightly bound by numerous seastone chains, and the prison cell he was in was also made of seastone. After all, there is not much else in Wano Country, but the seastone deposits are very rich. In such a prison, let alone a weak person like Kurozumi Orochi, even Luffy, who has not awakened the Ryuo, would have a hard time escaping from here.

"Hehe~ Master, look at what you said. I was a general of Wano Country not long ago~ How can a user of the Mythical Beast Species say that he can save his life by cutting off his head? After all, this is my ability~"

With both hands holding the boy's chest from behind, even though the adult form of Yakumo Shiro is more than two meters tall, he still looks a little "small" in front of Maria. Well... if we only talk about body size~

"Hey, Maria, if you have time, learn how to return life. It's fun, but you won't be able to experience other funs~"

Feeling the heavy weight on his head and squinting his eyes to enjoy it, Yakumo Shiro reminded him softly.

Maria was stunned when she heard this. She knew that the young master could change his shape at will. Although he was only two meters tall now, it was possible for him to be as tall as her or even taller than her. It would only cost him a little energy...

Other fun? Is there anything that can't be done by the two of us? Is it possible...

Maria seemed to be thinking of the pamphlet she had accidentally read. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She immediately pressed her body down again, almost putting the weight of her upper body on Yakumo Shiro.

"Master, you are so greedy~ Can't I satisfy you alone~"

"???"

Yakumo Shiro raised his head in surprise and asked curiously,

"Greedy? What do you mean by greedy? Is it greedy for me to want to go surfing with you? Isn't it a bit inconvenient to be too big?"

"???"

"Surfing? Is that what I mean by surfing? Just surfing? Is it really just surfing?"

Maria was a little confused at first, then a little disappointed, and finally she cast a questioning look at Yakumo Shiro. She didn't believe that what the young master just said was just as simple as it seemed. Would this young man who played with the entire Wano Country in the palm of his hand say that he just wanted to surf with her?

"Really? What's there to not understand, Maria~"

Gently breaking free from Maria's arms, Yakumo Shiro asked in confusion, "Isn't it just simple surfing?" The two of them were standing on the same skateboard, rising and falling with the surging waves, riding the wind and waves. In this world full of seas, isn't it the best?

Shaking her head helplessly, it seems that staying in this closed country of Wano has made Maria fall behind. It seems that she should go out to sea as soon as possible, otherwise how can she unlock more gameplay in the future?

After making a decision secretly, Yakumo Shiro said,

"Maria, do you want this mythical beast~"

"!!!"

Maria, who was secretly feeling lost because of the sudden emptiness in her arms, raised her head upon hearing this, and looked at Yakumo Shiro with a look of confusion and surprise:

"What's with that casual tone?"

------------

At the same time that Orochi was "killed" and Wano Country fell into a brief power vacuum, in a corner of the Flower Capital.

“Huff, huff, huff….”

A bald old man and a disheveled woman who looked like an old witch ran out of the alley breathlessly. After turning around to look at the general's mansion which had been completely reduced to ruins, they shouted in a low voice with unwillingness.

"Damn it! Decades of hard work, all gone in one day! That Orochi guy! What a loser! Even with a mythical beast species, he's still so vulnerable!"

Heitan Muchan looked ugly and full of reluctance.

"I can't stay in Flower City any longer. Who would have thought that the Beasts Pirates would turn the tables?! Although my barrier fruit is enough to resist most attacks, facing this kind of predicament, it's just a waste of energy!

"Toki... the Mink Tribe... and the samurai under the Daimyo... the Beasts Pirates are only taking action after they have made all the necessary preparations!"

Kurozumi Chanmaru said angrily.

"What should we do now? It's no secret that we're with the snakes. They'll notice us sooner or later!"

"Let's go to where Kozuki Sukiyaki is imprisoned! We still have bargaining chips! The secrets passed down from generation to generation by the Kozuki family! The secrets of Wano Country that only successive shoguns know!"
