Chapter 392 The fickle man
...
"Nekato, Inuarashi, you must have had a hard time these past two years! You must have been fighting against the evil forces and pirates of this country every day!"
Markela said with concern.
"Um... Actually it's not that bad, meow. There hasn't been any fighting going on yet."
Cat Viper thought for a moment and answered.
"Uh? No fighting? Then what are you doing?"
The pirates and the illegitimate general are harming this country. What else can we do but rise up in resistance?
"Lord Oden has chosen to be patient for now. Don't worry. A man like Lord Oden must have a plan in mind. We retainers just need to trust him!"
"That's right! Lord Oden will definitely lead us to defeat Orochi and Kaido!"
Cat Viper and Inuarashi said firmly.
Markla was almost moved by the two of them, and said something like: "You are indeed a loyal warrior of the fur tribe! The Kozuki tribe is our good brothers for generations, and we should stick our necks out for our good brothers."
But he couldn't help but think of what Gol once said, especially the sentence "People who get too close to the Kozuki clan will become abnormal after a long time!"
So Markla conservatively swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Okay, let's go. This is Oden Castle ahead. Isn't Zou facing a serious crisis? Let's go tell Lord Oden and ask him for help!"
"Yes, yes, let's go!"
Only Inuarashi still remembered the important matter. Even Markla and the two Rabbit Fur warriors almost forgot about it.
...
As soon as the group entered the door, they saw two children, a boy and a girl, playing in the front yard.
At one side, a beautiful woman with long light green hair, wearing a patched kimono that could not hide her noble temperament, was kneeling on the wooden floor at the door of the hall, holding a teacup in both hands. After taking a sip, she put the cup on her thighs and looked calmly at a pair of children playing in the yard.
"Mrs. Shi! Let's get back!"
Inuarashi and Nekomaru greeted.
"Yes, it's Inuarashi and Nekomamushi."
When Kozuki heard the voice, he turned around and gave them a spring-like smile.
"Kitten! Puppy!"
The two little ghosts also ran over and hugged the two men's furry tails.
"We have guests. Are these three your friends?"
Seeing the three fur tribe members of Markla following the two, Kozuki stood up and asked.
"Yes, Madam Shi, these three are from our same clan. They came from Zou."
"Hello! Mrs. Shi."
Makla bowed.
"Hello everyone, welcome to Wano Country."
Mitsuki Tokiya politely returned the greeting.
"Madam Toki, they are here to see Lord Oden with important matters. Is Lord Oden here?"
Inuarashi spoke up.
Wano is now facing internal and external troubles. Although Orochi and Kaido are still afraid of her husband Kozuki Oden, the two sides do not know when a war will break out. The more strength they can add, the greater their chances of winning.
As long as they have seen Oden himself, these three fur tribe warriors will most likely choose to stay and become retainers of the Kozuki family!
This smart and virtuous woman thought so in her heart.
She is full of confidence in her husband's masculinity and invincible personal charm.
"Please follow me..."
Just as Kozuki was about to turn around and take a few people to see Oden, he heard Cat Viper add:
"Mrs. Toki, it's like this. Zou is being invaded by a powerful enemy and needs Lord Oden's help!"
When Guangyue Toki heard this, her eyebrows furrowed, and then she changed her words:
"I see. Please sit inside for a while. I will send someone to look for him. He may be working in the fields!"
"Thank you, Madam Shi."
Markla and the other two waited in the hall.
"Inuarashi, Nekomaru, come with me."
As Mitsuki Toki was leaving, he suddenly turned around and shouted.
"Brother Markla, you guys have some tea and rest here first, we'll be back soon. Don't worry, our Mink Clan and the Kozuki Clan signed a brotherhood agreement a long time ago. Now that Zou is in trouble, Lord Oden will definitely help!"
Cat and Dog said confidently.
They often heard adults say this when they were young, so they were full of curiosity about the Kozuki clan in Wano Country and had the idea of secretly going out to sea for exploration. When they first came to Wano Country, they were regarded as monsters by people and were almost burned to death. Fortunately, they were saved by Lord Oden who appeared in time! All this is fate! The Minks and the Kozuki clan are really good brothers!
After the two of them finished talking, they followed Madam Shi and left.
"Captain Markla, do we really want Kozuki Oden to support us? Or should we just admit defeat in this bet? They are facing a real invasion from foreign enemies right now, so it's normal that they can't leave. Would it be a bad idea for us to do this?"
The White Rabbit Fur Tribe warrior at the side spoke up, saying that the Fur Tribe were honest and loyal by nature, and he felt that it was a bit unfair to do so.
"Well, we have to meet first. No matter what, at least we should make our purpose clear. If the other party is still willing to help us under such circumstances, wouldn't it better reflect the brotherhood between our two races? Then we will tell him the truth and go back to call on everyone to contribute their strength to help our good brother defeat the bad guys who stole this country! Now that we have a general understanding of the situation in this country, even if Kozuki Oden is unwilling to help, we can understand him, and we can leave on our own at that time."
Markela said seriously.
"That makes sense. Captain, you are more thoughtful!"
Gray Rabbit gave a thumbs up and praised.
...
the other side.
"I'm sorry! Kitty, puppy! I can't let you tell Oden about Zou's death!"
Mitsuki Toki took the cat and the dog to a deserted place, turned his back to the two and spoke.
Even if Oden is told the news now, he cannot leave Wano Country to rescue him. Since the result will be the same whether he tells him or not, and it will only make him sad, it is better not to tell Oden!
Kozuki knew her husband very well. When she was sick, Oden sent them back to Wano Country to recuperate. Seeing the devastated and smoky Wano Country, he resolutely turned around and left, because a good man has ambitions! He should not be bound by anything.
As long as he can complete the rest of the voyage, all the sacrifices will be worth it for his critically ill father, his sick wife, his young children, his eagerly awaited subordinates, and his country and people!
Although I don't know why a good man like him would now bow his head to the enemy and choose to endure, he still has to go to the enemy's base camp, Flower City, every week to perform the insulting naked dance.
Although he refused to say, everyone could guess something. It must be that Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido were taking the people of Wano Country as hostages to threaten him!
Although I don’t know why Oden suddenly becomes so concerned about the country and civilians, but men are fickle animals, so there must be a reason for my husband to do this! As a wife, I just need to support him silently behind the scenes!
