Chapter 496 Waiting for a long time
...
While feeling thankful, several people's eyes were filled with worry. 3 points were for their companion Feng Ren, and the other 7 points were for themselves.
At this moment, seeing that Gel had turned into the Black Charcoal Orochi again and was not sure what conspiracy he was going to prepare, they couldn't help but feel uneasy. They had good reason to suspect that the reason Captain Gel spared their lives was simply because he could still use them, "General Orochi's loyal lackeys" in the journey of Jiuli.
If this is true, then the end of the Jiuli trip means that they will no longer be useful and will soon die? ?
"My Lord! Although I am a new surrender, I will swear to be loyal to you till death. If I have any second thoughts, I will be struck by lightning!"
Thinking of his wife and newborn baby at home, Feng Ren, who didn't want to die, could only bite the bullet and said in fear.
Gel thought it was a pity that Ajin was not around, otherwise he would definitely let Ajin perform a trick to trick the fish and see if this guy had any hidden thoughts.
"Haha, why are you suddenly saying this? Get up first. There's no need to be so nervous. If I really wanted to kill you, I would have killed all of you long ago! Since I've been able to keep your lives until now, I naturally won't chop you off just for saying one or two wrong things. You don't have to be so scared. Just say whatever you think. It doesn't matter if you're wrong, but there's one thing you need to pay attention to: I only want to hear the truth!"
As Gel spoke, he propped his chin up with his folding fan and leaned against the car window, pretending to be ready to listen attentively.
"Yes! Your lord!"
Feng Ren knew that he could not avoid this disaster, so he could only stand up and walk to the side of the car, put the whip on his waist and then spoke.
"Sir, in my humble opinion, no matter what means or conspiracies they used, the Kozuki clan was completely manipulated by Kurozumi Orochi. This is an indisputable fact. This shows that the Kozuki clan is not worthy of being the general of Wano Country, and they are not even as good as Kurozumi Orochi!"
"And now that Kurozumi Orochi has been defeated without any chance of fighting back, it also proves that you are more suitable to sit on the position of general than him, and more suitable to lead the entire Wano Country!"
Gel nodded to show that he liked what he heard, and then motioned for Feng Ren to continue.
"I'm so sorry! My Lord, as a ninja, the person I protect is dead, but I don't have the courage to die to prove my loyalty. I really make you laugh! It seems a bit shameless to talk about loyalty now! But I... I..."
Feng Ren wanted to say something but stopped. He gritted his teeth and spoke with a choked voice.
"But I want to live! Lord Gul! Please give me another chance! I will definitely work hard to prove my worth! Please!"
Looking at Feng Ren's sincere face, Geldon paused and then smiled.
"Hahaha, don't underestimate yourselves, Feng Ren. I think you have done a great job. At least until the moment when the Kurotan family was completely destroyed, you did not betray him. The Oniwabanshu have already fulfilled their responsibilities. Now that you have surrendered to me and have not put up a meaningless resistance, this is a wise move to obey the trend of the times and turn from darkness to light."
"As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in! Don't feel ashamed about it! Or do you think it's shameful to work for me?"
"No! I don't dare!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Ren and several other elders from the Oniwaban clan hurriedly knelt on one knee and shook their heads to deny it.
"That's it. I said I would change Wano Country. From now on, there will be no more samurai, daimyo, ninja, retainers, or even high and mighty generals. But ordinary people can live a happy life with work and income and medical care."
Gel bewitched.
Mihawk, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, closed his eyes and frowned. He could hardly bear to listen any more. When you came here, you clearly said that you wanted to build factories and laboratories, make full use of Wano Country's mineral and human resources to create value, and at the same time provide a test field for the Revolutionary Army to spread its ideas.
Feng Ren was in a trance, staring blankly at the "Black Charcoal Snake" who was talking in front of him. This big face was obviously very familiar, but it gave people a completely different feeling today. It even gave people the illusion that it was shining and particularly dazzling. What was going on? Was it an illusion?
"I can't achieve this by myself, I need your help!"
"We will serve you till our death!"
The mood was set just right, and several people shouted loudly and excitedly.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, the former Oniwabanshu and those ninja warriors who have turned from darkness to light will all be handed over to you to manage Wind Blade from now on. I believe you will not let me down."
Gel reached out from the window, patted Feng Ren's shoulder armor and smiled.
"Lord Gur!!"
Tears glistened in Feng Ren's eyes. He had followed Kurozumi Orochi for so long, but had never felt such proactive care from a superior. In this closed country with feudal ideas, how could the ignorant Feng Ren withstand Captain Gel's magical attack? He was immediately moved to tears.
"Don't worry, sir! I won't let you down!!"
"Forehead…"
Gel seemed to understand why the people of Wano Country were so easily moved, because they had not seen much of the world.
"..."
After a small episode, the carriage was ready to go again. The people guarding the convoy were still the same people, but their mental outlook and work attitude had changed drastically.
Gel thought to himself, no wonder bosses like to make big promises and use PUA. Who wouldn’t like this method that can make others work hard wholeheartedly at zero cost?
...
Soon the convoy arrived at the center of the town.
"Sir! The Daimyo Kuri and his retainers appeared at the intersection ahead."
Feng Ren pulled the reins to stop the carriage and turned to report to the inside of the carriage.
"Kacha~!"
The carriage door opens.
Feng Ren hurriedly bent down and wanted Gel to step on his back to get off the carriage.
"Get out of the way."
Gel kicked him roughly and cursed.
"Ah yes! My Lord!"
Feng Ren quickly stood up and stepped aside. Although he was kicked, he felt warm in his heart.
"The two of us will go over there, you stay where you are."
"Yes! As you command, sir!"
After saying this, Gel walked towards the other party with Mihawk, who had changed into the Wano Country limited skin.
The ten figures on the opposite side also strode forward, one in front and nine behind.
After walking a few steps, Gel stopped and stood there waiting for the other party to come over.
“Crack, crack~!”
Kozuki Oden walked quickly to Gol and without saying a word, they just stared at each other.
Gel also looked at this legendary man with great interest.
The man was nearly four meters tall, with almond-shaped eyes and thick eyebrows. He was wearing an orange kimono that revealed his hairy thighs, and had thick purple and white hemp ropes tied around his body.
This is the good man Kozuki Oden, who can move the people of Wano Country to their core no matter what incomprehensible actions he takes!
"Clap!"
The eye contact did not last long, and Kozuki Oden quickly bent his knees and knelt down.
"I've been waiting for you, General!"
"Oden, what the hell~!"
Seeing that their respected head of the family had surrendered to the villain Kurozumi Orochi, the group of humble retainers behind Oden all showed an expression of unwillingness.
"Hehehe, uh...Guhehe! Sashi ignores Dana~ (Yo) Tian~!"
Gel raised the corners of his mouth and greeted him with a deliberate local accent.
