Although the entire Oden Castle is not big, I didn’t see anything special after walking around it twice, but there are a lot of delicious food.
"Have you heard that the foolish prince will dance under the Great Snake Castle today?"
Hmm? Dancing, Kozuki Oden, that fool, Ryoma's samurai tomb was robbed, but he still had the mind to dance, no wonder people have bad rumors about him.
But this is also a lively place, just go and take a look.
Follow the crowd and head in one direction.
It didn't take long for Xia Zheteng to arrive at the Great Snake City, which was later called the Flower City. The two places were not far from each other.
Looking at Kozuki Oden dancing while parading in the streets, Xia Zheteng just shook his head.
It's boring. There's also a loincloth. If you have the guts, take them all off.
At this time, some news had spread among the crowd that Longma's tomb had been robbed.
This news made everyone feel sad. Ryuma was the dragon-slaying warrior and spiritual pillar of Wano Country. How could the samurai of Wano Country tolerate having his tomb robbed?
The problem is that the silly prince in front of him is still dancing.
Is this a celebration? Then people's impression of Oden became even worse.
Listening to the discussions of people around him, Xia Zheteng shook his head again.
Remember that the reason why Kozuki Oden danced was that he would save 100 hostages every time he danced.
I don't know what he is thinking. He doesn't give up what he should give up, and he doesn't be tough when he should be tough. A guy who can't recognize the situation is indeed not worthy of being the ruler of this country.
Kozuki's death was inevitable and necessary.
Having said that, you can die if you want, but you still leave behind a nuisance, like the one who deserves to die the most, Momonosuke.
Hmm? Should we charge into Oden Castle right now and kill Momonosuke first? This guy must die.
Xia Zheteng scratched his head, thinking about this question in his mind.
The key is whether he can defeat Oden. After all, that guy can leave permanent scars on Kaido, and the Nine Red Scabbards are also there. Well, let's wait and see.
It doesn't matter if I can't kill him now. In twenty years, I can kill him, right? Momonosuke, you can't run away.
After having this idea, Xia Zheteng no longer cared and began to appreciate Kozuki Oden's dance on the street. It's such a big street, but you dance so stiffly. This is not the case in a small country.
[Ding, watching the fun value +10000. ]
……
It's really nice. This is quite lively. Can watching Guangyue dancing add so much liveliness points? How is this calculated?
Turning around, I saw that there were a lot of people watching the dance together, and there must have been tens of thousands of people coming one after another.
Most of these people experience great emotional fluctuations.
So that's how it is. Even two Marines fighting can get some excitement points, let alone this naked dance.
Moreover, Kozuki Oden's strength is indeed not weak. Although his strength cannot be compared with the Four Emperors, he is definitely strong enough to be a vice-emperor.
Seeing how lively he was, he was indeed struggling. Xia Zheteng was thinking, why not discuss it with Kaido? Let Oden jump for a few more years, maybe he could go up and beat Im directly.
But after watching for a while, Xia Zheteng gave up. The reason was very simple. The excitement this time was only a one-time thing.
It's just a dance, and the emotional value it brings is certain. If you want to increase it, you can only watch the next dance.
Alas, Oden, you are really boring, I hope you will be destroyed soon.
Chapter 52 It’s too early, let’s go find the fruit
After staying in this shabby place for a week, Xia Zheteng finally confirmed two things.
One thing is that I came too early, and there is still some time before Kozuki Oden dies.
Another thing is, there is no use in watching too much nude dancing.
The excitement value can only be generated by people watching the excitement. The problem is that when Oden jumped for the second time, those who had already watched the excitement would no longer provide excitement value.
Because their emotions had not changed much, it was probably that in their eyes, Oden's dancing was no longer a lively thing, but a joke.
So except for the 2500 excitement points in the first round, the second round only gave a total of excitement points.
Xia Zheteng felt that if he waited another week, the price would probably drop again.
It seems that if you want to get more excitement points, there is no point in just waiting here.
So Xia Zheteng immediately changed his target.
When I rescued Crocodile, that guy gave me some information.
Xia Zheteng has some ideas about the Pump-Pull Fruit. Once the power of this fruit becomes stronger, it may be able to help him.
And more importantly, the guy who has the Pull-Pull Fruit is right in Wano Country.
It is precisely because of the special policies of Wano Country that people like Crocodile find it difficult to enter Wano Country, so they have not been able to defeat the other side.
Since there is still time, why not go find this Chu Chu Fruit first.
As for reporting back to the headquarters, Xia Zheteng didn't even think about it. Reporting, what's the point of reporting? Anyway, what should be done has been done. Doesn't he have a certain degree of autonomy? He might as well use it.
According to the information provided by Crocodile, Xia Zheteng’s current target is the Shimei District in the north of Wano Country.
Wano Country is not big. Just like Kozuki Oden was the daimyo of Kuri before, Nozomi also has her own daimyo.
However, this daimyo was a tyrant who implemented a tough management method on the people, so the people in the Hime region lived in dire straits.
With no way out, the civilians had no choice but to become bandits and occupy the mountains to rule the land in order to barely survive.
In the past, such a daimyo would have been driven out of power long ago, but who can blame Kurozumi Orochi for the fact that the general who controls the entire Wano Country now is Kurozumi Orochi?
For Kurozumi Orochi, such a great name is the one that can be controlled by him.
As soon as Xia Zheteng entered the Ximei Mountain area, he encountered a group of robbers.
However, looking at the skinny bandits on the opposite side, Xia Zheteng said that he was now afraid that the other party would rush up and then fall to the ground and die. This guy must be starving to death, right?
The bandit leader, however, was still in good health, holding a naginata in his hand and swinging it a few times.
"Leave everything you have on you and you can pass. Otherwise, I will chop off your head."
Xia Zheteng scratched his head. He felt a little uncomfortable because the other party didn't say that the mountain was his.
"Do you know Sasaki Mito?"
The bandits on the opposite side were all stunned for a moment. Sasaki Mito, do you know him or not?
To say that we know each other, we have never even met each other.
But if you say you don't know him, among the bandits in Hime, Sasaki Goto is the strongest bandit king. It is said that many samurai sent by the daimyo died at the hands of Sasaki Goto.
"Are you here to wipe out Sasaki Mito?" The bandit leader raised his eyebrows, somewhat unbelieving.
The bandit leader just took a look at Xia Zheteng in front of him. He was tall and the knife on his waist was obviously not an ordinary thing. It was really possible.
"You can't say that. You have to meet the person before you know how to deal with him. Just tell me whether you know or not, right?"
"We know for sure. Sasaki Mito is a big bandit outside Ise Castle, but we have never seen him."
"Thank you for letting me know. Since you are all a bunch of poor people, I will not chop you. Go away."
Xia Zheteng shook his head and walked forward slowly, ignoring the bandits surrounding him.
The bandit leader frowned, but finally made up his mind. He was almost starving to death, so who cared about that?
"Let's go together. He is alone. Even if he is very strong, we can kill him if we go together."
Dozens of bandits around thought the same thing, so they all raised their knives and rushed towards Xia Zheteng.
"I felt sorry for you and wanted to let you go, but now that you have raised the knife, there is no room for negotiation. Die!"
Hiraiwaqiri was unsheathed, and Xia Zheteng didn't even use the power of the fruit, but simply used swordsmanship.
"One sword style, ninety-nine beheadings." In fact, Xia Zheteng didn't have any so-called special moves, but it felt pretty cool just by shouting it, that's all.
The light of knives appeared all around, and the light of Pingyan's knife came out, turning into sharp blades just as thick as the neck, and went out in all directions.
The speed was very fast, so fast that ordinary bandits could not react at all.
As Xia Zheteng moved forward, those people fell to the ground one by one, their heads separated from their bodies.
Ding, Xia Zheteng sheathed his sword as he walked. When the sword was sheathed, the last person to fall behind him was the bandit leader holding the naginata.
"That move just now was really cool, but it's a pity that no one saw it." Xia Zheteng left.
Not long after he left, a cloud of white mist appeared on a tree trunk in the forest, and in the mist, a thin ninja fell to the ground.
"What a fast sword! He must be an expert. Is he going after Sasaki Mito? We must tell the daimyo quickly."
As he spoke, the ninja quickly jumped to the top of the tree, and after a few jumps, he disappeared into the distance.
A gust of wind blew, accompanied by the sound of bells. On another big tree, a small squirrel saw everything clearly and ran away quickly.
After a while it landed on the arm of a woman holding a bell.
"Oh, I was planning to recruit them, but I didn't expect to get killed. That guy, was he coming for us?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed across the woman's eyes, but she finally held it back and left quickly.
Xia Zheteng, who was walking in the front, also smiled. I think there will be a war between Sasaki Goto and the daimyo here.
As for how to make the other party excited after sending troops, Xia Zheteng also has some ideas. All he wants is the opponent's fruit ability, which can be seen as long as the other party takes action. He doesn't have to kill the other party.
I don't have any grudge against Sasaki Mito, so why bother? Wouldn't it be better to have some fun?
Thinking of this, Xia Zheteng stopped and then suddenly punched in one direction.
Bang! A figure fell straight down from the tree where the space was broken. Before the other person landed on the ground, Xia Zheteng drew his knife, dodged, walked forward again, and entered the forest.
The one who fell to the ground had his head and body separated, a deadness that could not be more dead. He was actually a ninja.
Xia Zheteng walked into the forest, walked quickly on the ground, and soon disappeared in the distance without leaving any trace.
Chapter 53: Daimyo and Bandits
"Lost?"
In Ise Castle, the obese daimyo Ise Samonokami was also very angry.
These ninjas boasted that they were the best, but not only did they lose their targets, but they also killed them. Is this the best? Is it the best to die?
Ise Samamori had a sullen face. He was a tyrant, but he was not stupid.
Such a samurai came to the Hime District, what was his goal?
If the other party is an enemy of Sasaki Mito, then it’s easy to deal with. Just pretend you didn’t see him.
But he didn't say that he had a grudge against her. What if he came to join Sasaki Mito? Sasaki's power had already threatened his rule in Hime.
If such a powerful warrior were to join him, his rule would probably be over, and that would not be acceptable.
We must find a way to find out where the other party comes from.
The problem is that the person is lost.
"Don't panic, Daimyo. I have a solution." The counselor beside Ise Samamori stood up.
"What can you do?"
"Since the other party is looking for Sasaki Mito, we can just sit back and wait for him. We just need to keep an eye on Sasaki Mito's location."
Ise Samamori thought about it for a while. This was indeed an idea, and he knew where Sasaki Goto was.
After all, he bribed a few spies there.
Some time ago, the news was also sent back to me, so this time, as long as I surround Sasaki Goto and stop the samurai, it won't be a problem.
"Moreover, we can announce to the public that we are searching for the samurai, and surround Sasaki Mito on the mountain without anyone noticing. After we have dealt with the samurai, we can also take down Sasaki Mito."
After listening to the counselor's analysis, Ise Samamaki felt it made sense, so he did it.
He didn't ask if there was a specific plan. What if the previous plan failed? Anyway, it was better to just rush.
On the other side, in a fortress on the mountain of Hime, Sasaki Mito and several of his trusted men were analyzing the current situation.
"Squirrel, are you saying that the warrior is coming for us, and that he is very powerful?"
"He is indeed very strong." Song Shu said confidently, "Not only did he kill Wu Ming with one move, but he also escaped from my pursuit. You know, up to now, no one has ever escaped from my pursuit."
