Chapter 472 Angry Luffy
Chapter 472 Angry Luffy
"This guy is really ungrateful... Let's just kill him this time."
Kaido felt somewhat embarrassed when being looked at by Lu Li. The tall man actually looked somewhat uneasy, which shocked many members who had joined the Beasts Pirates in the past ten years.
They didn't expect that there was someone who could make the Governor so cautious, which shows the status of Scourge in the team.
Lu Li did not refute Kaido's face. After all, Ashura itself was just a small matter. The other party's disturbance of public order was a great impact on the face of Wano Country, but in a sense it was also a "good thing".
Just think about it, the residents of Wano Country, which has enjoyed long-term stability and has been working and living peacefully under Kaido's rule, but a bandit who does not do any work comes to rob them every now and then, will they be happy?
Who is Ashura Douji? He is a retainer of Kozuki Oden, one of the Nine Red Scabbards, and a famous and powerful man in his time.
In a sense, he is also one of the representatives of the Kozuki family. Such people often make trouble and rob the residents of Wano Country. You can imagine how bad the residents of Wano Country have an impression of him.
As a result, their impression of the Kozuki clan has become increasingly worse, especially when comparing their current peaceful and prosperous life with the days when people often could not afford to eat under the rule of the Kozuki family. It is simply a world of difference.
"Mr. Lu, I haven't finished yet..."
Speed said humbly, "...There has been unrest inside the Udon Prison. Because Master Quinn is not here, they can no longer control it. The reason seems to be... a child named Momonosuke appeared there, claiming to be the son of Kozuki Oden."
"What!?"
As if a button from ancient times had been activated, Yamato exclaimed, "Child? It's been eighteen years, are you sure it's a child?"
"It's very strange, but according to the intelligence, it seems that he is indeed a child, only about eight or nine years old. Many of the Nine Red Scabbards from that time have appeared and surrounded him to protect him."
Speed explained, "And the warriors of the Kozuki family in the Usagi prison have now sincerely knelt before Momonosuke."
Lu Li looked strange after listening to Speed's narration. He thought to himself, what is this? Is it the butterfly effect?
But the last time he came to this world, Kozuki Oden had been dead for many years. When Momonosuke's mother teleported people to the future, wasn't the time fixed at 20 years?
Lu Li glanced at Luffy who was eating Wano Country snacks carelessly, and wondered if it was not a scheduled teleportation, but a 'fixed-point' teleportation?
Did Kozuki use his ability to let Momonosuke and his crew meet the child of destiny, Luffy (Joey Boy)?
But... Lu Li couldn't think of any reason why Luffy would help Momonosuke even if he racked his brains.
If Momonosuke's time-traveling journey this time is just for the purpose of currying favor with Luffy, then it can only be said that man proposes, God disposes.
Unfortunately, Luffy will indeed stand on the side of Wano Country, but it seems that he will not stand on the side of the Kozuki family.
"These prisoners are really tired of living."
Quinn's face was gloomy, especially when he heard Speed whispering that his red bean soup was snatched away and drunk up by the prisoners, which made him even more furious.
It's only been a few days since they were released, and already the prisoners in Rabbit Prison are causing chaos?
Quinn is still a pirate at heart, ferocious and brutal. If the team had not been regularized in recent years, he would have killed countless people. Now that he heard that the prisoners dared to riot, he could no longer suppress his murderous intent.
"Leave this matter to me."
Lu Li said, "I haven't been home for a long time. This will allow me to get familiar with the current Wano Country."
"Brother Lu, I'll go with you."
Yamato looked at the white hair on Lu Li's head, and the meaning was obvious. She felt that Lu Li's top priority now was to rest more and fight less. The physical work should still be left to her like in the past.
Lu Li did not reject Yamato's kindness, "Okay, let's do this as a long-awaited partner."
"Samurai? Did you say there were samurai?"
Luffy's eyes lit up, "Looks cool, can I go take a look?"
Lu Li didn't need Luffy's fighting power, but he thought it was fun, so he nodded and took Luffy along.
The group split into two groups. Kaido and his group planned to march around Wano Country to stabilize the morale of the troops and then return to Onigashima, while Lu Li and others went straight to Udon Prison.
Except for Luffy, everyone else is an expert, so it didn't take long to get to Udon Prison.
As soon as he approached the Usagi Prison, Lu Li saw many guards of the Beasts Pirates lying in a pool of blood along the way, and some soldiers who had been selected from within the country of Wano in recent years were killed.
They arrived in time. Although there was no Quinn in charge of Rabbit Don Prison, the strength of the Beasts Pirates, whose overall quality had improved over the years, was not to be underestimated. After the incident, many real fighters came here to provide assistance, so it had not yet been completely breached.
In addition, Momonosuke and others needed to liberate the prisoners, so it took some time. Now they had just opened the prison gate and met up with Ashura Douji who had rushed over from outside.
On the ground, there was a native resident of Wano Country who was wearing a soldier's uniform and was trying hard to support his body. There was a huge cut on his chest and he was obviously dying.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Luffy asked with concern as he leaned over and helped the man up.
"I... I still have... a wife and children..."
The man stretched out his hand, his consciousness gradually becoming blurred, "Can you tell them... I am not a deserter... Let those evil people out..."
As he finished speaking, his life force began to fade away, leaving Luffy with a very gloomy look on his face.
Lu Li walked over, put his hand on the soldier's back, and circulated his energy, healing his injuries and saving his life.
"What exactly is going on?"
The veins on Luffy's forehead were exposed. Although he had just entered Wano Country not long ago, he had already seen the peace and prosperity there. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Everyone had his own job and lived a fulfilling life.
All the way from the port to Tudon Prison, he did not see any famine or poverty in the towns he passed through. It can be said that after all the adventures he had experienced in so many countries, this was the country with the highest people's happiness index he had ever seen.
But in such a peaceful and beautiful country, are there still people who want to rebel and cause chaos?
On the way, out of curiosity, Luffy also asked Lu Li about the history and current situation of this country.
He knew that the people who were rebelling now were the remnants of the original rulers of this country 18 years ago. The rise and fall of a country was normal. It was certainly not a glorious thing for the Beasts Pirates, to which Brother Lu belonged, to invade the Country of Wano.
But Luffy is a wise man who appears foolish. He does not care too much about the legitimacy of the ruler. He only sees the prosperity in front of him. At least the Beasts Pirates did not let the people starve, and the people of Wano Country lived and worked in peace and contentment. This is a good ruler.
Ironically, Luffy just heard from this soldier who was recruited from Wano Country that he did not let the "bad guys" go. It turns out that those samurai from the previous era of Wano Country have really become "bad guys" in the eyes of the current residents of Wano Country.
In fact, their actions are not a just revolution at all. Pointing their blades at the people of Wano Country, whom they were supposed to protect, is nothing more than the selfish desire of the rulers in Luffy's view. Along the way, they also passed through Kuri, where the village had just been robbed by Ashura Douji in order to feed his men so that they could go to the battlefield to save people and fight against Kaido's Beasts Pirates.
The villages and towns were in a tragic scene, with many seriously injured and a number of young and middle-aged people dead, and the sound of wailing was continuous.
This makes it difficult for Luffy to imagine what the justice of the Kozuki family is like.
"Master Quinn... I'm sorry we failed to hold the prison."
Several guards from the Shinda and Tudon prisons had been forced to leave the prison. When they saw Lu Li and the others approached, they knelt down and confessed their crimes.
Quinn's face was terribly gloomy, he knew that it was not his men's fault for being cowardly, it was mainly because the Nine Red Scabbards were not someone that ordinary people could defeat, it was not easy for the prison guards and the gatekeepers to hold out until now.
"Is this... Lord Calamity?"
Some of them recognized Lu Li and were surprised but also a little scared, fearing that this powerful military advisor would punish them for their failure.
"You have done a great job, please step back and take care of your injuries."
Lu Li looked at the Kozuki army that was gradually gathering at the Rabbit Prison, "We will take over the battlefield from now on."
Figures walked out from the prison gate, leading the army of liberated prisoners out.
Those people in the front row were the Nine Red Scabbards, including Kyoshiro, who once worked under Kurozumi Orochi, and should perhaps be called 'Denjiro' now.
Lu Li also reminded Kaido about Denjiro, but in this regard, should Kaido be said to have the spirit of a hero or be naive? He is always willing to give the strong some opportunities and wait for them to submit to him.
It’s a pity that Kozuki Oden’s brainwashing aura is simply amazing. It is impossible for people like Denjiro and Ashura Douji to join Kaido. They have been left until now and have become an unstable scourge.
Originally, with Kaido and his men in charge of Wano Country, the other side would not dare to show any ulterior motives even if they had any. This time, almost all the elite members of the Beasts Pirates have come out, which gives them an opportunity, and they believe it is a good time to take back the country.
"Denjiro, Ashura Douji, Mr. Kaido gave you a chance. Is this how you repay him?"
Lu Li walked forward and confronted the rebels. Quinn followed behind him but did not interrupt.
"How dare you, a pirate who usurped our country, say such things?"
Ashura Boy said, "I endured humiliation and hardship just for today!"
Chuanjiro on the side was a little calmer. He frowned when he saw Lu Li and said, "Tianzai, get out of the way. I can spare your life."
Because there were few world news newspapers flowing into Wano Country, and they were all busy rebelling internally, they were not clear about what happened in the Marineford War.
It's just that Chuanjiro has met Lu Li, and with his sharp mind he realized that Lu Li might have faked his death that year, and escaped this time because of the war at the top. Based on this reasoning, all the members of the Beasts Pirates have returned.
Not to mention the fire disaster and the epidemic disaster, the fifth most important figure Fujitora and Governor Kaido are not people they can deal with, so Denjiro hopes to take the rebel army and Lord Momonosuke away as soon as possible.
Now is not the time to have a decisive battle with the Beasts Pirates. They should first go out to sea to seek help, find reliable partners, and gather powerful fighting force to overthrow Kaido's rule.
"Save me a life?"
Lu Li felt strange, and glanced at the Nine Red Scabbards calmly, "Who gave you the courage to say this? Was it the little brat behind you?"
Because the battle situation was chaotic, in the battle to liberate Usagi Prison, in order to prevent Momonosuke from getting hurt, Shinobu held Momonosuke in her arms.
Most likely in order to make full preparations for the war, Shinobu removed the disguise she had worn to conceal her identity in Wano Country over the years, and had lost weight before the rebellion, returning to her old appearance.
At this time, Momonosuke was held in her arms, with half of his face secretly looking at Lu Li and others. Even though it was such a serious occasion, that expression always made people feel a little obscene.
"How dare you! Lord Momonosuke is the son of Kozuki Oden, the legitimate leader of this country!"
Kin'emon stood up and shouted, full of righteousness, his hand already grasping the hilt of the samurai sword. As the saying goes, if the lord is humiliated, the minister will die, and he has engraved this principle into his bones.
Faced with Lu Li who insulted Momonosuke, he already had a strong desire to kill him.
As Kin'emon and the others had just traveled through time, they didn't know much about Lu Li, the 'newcomer' of the Beasts Pirates.
But he had just heard Denjiro and Ashura Douji talk about the changes in the combat power of the Beasts Pirates over the years, and knew that this was a new big boss.
However, Chuanjiro said that Lu Li became the big boss because of his outstanding wisdom and strategy and became the military advisor of the Beasts Pirates, and his actual combat strength is only at the real fighting level.
Nothing to worry about.
What really worries Kin'emon is Plague Queen, who is standing behind Lu Li and is like a military advisor and bodyguard in their eyes.
But as long as Kaido, Fujitora or King don't come, the plague is not a difficult opponent to deal with in their opinion. After all, Ashura Douji himself can match Drought Jack, and Denjiro is even stronger.
As for Kin'emon?
I dare not say anything else, but he is still confident in his defensive ability. Even if Kaido himself comes, he dares to risk his life for the young master and block it.
"Legitimate leader?"
Lu Li asked calmly, "What is considered orthodox? Just because you have the blood of the Guangyue family in your body, does that mean you are the ruler of this land?"
He pointed at the dead Wano soldiers on the ground and said, "There's nothing wrong with two armies fighting and killing people, but do they not count as the people of Wano?"
Lu Li's words were full of sophistry. After all, war was not such a naive thing. Enemies should be eliminated. He just wanted to see how the other side would respond so as to further consolidate the rule of Wano Country.
Because now, as time went by, soldiers from the nearby Wano Country also arrived in groups, watching the rebels in Usagi Prison on high alert.
"They betrayed the Kozuki family and have already become traitors. Of course they deserve to be killed!"
Ashura boy said, "Death is not a pity."
