OPI Chapter 132: A New Era
🕑 Added 2024-03-30 21:33:53 +0000 UTCKaido waited for Queen to leave, then took out an envelope of documents from his clothes to hand it to King. "Alber, look at this."
"What's this?" Seeing that Kaido was just looking at him without saying anything, he had no choice but to open the envelope with the documents.
The next second, King's pupils sharply contracted and began to shake violently.
[Amnesty Decree for Lunarians]
The document was filled with hundreds of words, but the main meaning was that the Lunarians would be able to live freely in the future and would no longer be persecuted. However, they also had to comply with the orders and laws of the World Government, and if necessary, they could request an island of their choice as ethnic territory.
"How...how is it possible..." Alber couldn't believe any of the words he saw before his eyes, he raised his head in disbelief to look at Kaido in front of him.
"Is this, is this true?"
"It should be. The World Government values the Lunarians' air combat capabilities, which have almost irreplaceable value in future campaigns against other worlds."
Kaido was holding a huge wine gourd and laughing loudly with excitement on his face.
"So that's why..." Alber suddenly understood, but his mood became very complicated. Should he be happy for his own race, or should he be angry at the tyranny of the world government?
"I know what you're thinking, but personally, I consider being valuable to be the greatest luck. I heard that the Marine giant brigade has moved to the Army, and the fish-men and merfolk tribes have joined the Navy."
"Obviously, they are preparing for future wars with other worlds. Wouldn't your race, by nature, be a... er, air force?"
"But if you think about it carefully, could I also..." Kaido stopped paying attention to Alber's change of expression and instead thought about this. He originally thought he would go into the Army...
After a long while, Alber exhaled deeply, his eyes returned to calm, and he finally made a decision. "Extermination and reproduction don't seem to be a multiple-choice question."
There was just one thing he was curious about. Now that he was the only one in the Lunaria tribe, how long would it take to multiply enough to form an army?
"Kaido, what are we going to do now, and what are the arrangements for the crew below?" Hearing Alber's inquiry, Kaido woke up from his thoughts, revealed a cruel smile, and exuded a terrifying killing intent.
"First let's go see someone and tell them the situation in Wano Country, then we will clean up all the noble families, leave this country upside down, as an appetizer before conquering all the worlds!"
After hearing this, Alber touched the long knife on his waist with his right hand and asked: "Are the World Government agents with you? Where are they?"
Kaido pointed to the sky: "There, but they will appear later, we need to put on a very interesting show..."
...
Flower Capital
This place is in the center of the entire Wano Country, and it is truly a place with spring weather all year round, always maintaining a warm and comfortable climate.
And in the heart of this city is the Orochi Castle.
This night. Inside the castle, elegant and traditional melodies mixed together in a concert.
"Gufufufu!"
"Pour me some wine, Aoi-chan~~" In the main hall Orochi laughed uncontrollably, his wild and brutal laughter breaking the harmony of the melody.
He was surrounded by two beautiful women dressed in kimonos, sitting in front of a table full of wines and delicacies. He enjoyed the company of these ladies as he touched them lasciviously, displaying a satisfied expression of a winner in life.
"Orochi, there's news from Kaido!" Kurozumi Higurashi walked over to report.
"Um?" Orochi noticed the gravity in the tone of his voice and ordered the music to stop immediately. Then, he pushed the women away from him.
When the room was empty, he asked: "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Kaido wants to eliminate the Kozuki family and all the noble families. He asks us to spread this news to attract all the rebels to Kuri, but we..."
After hearing the explanation, Orochi felt confused.
"Why does he suddenly want to make so much noise? Didn't we agree to wait until Oden has been dancing for five years and has lost everyone's trust before acting?"
Higurashi shook his head and pondered the strangeness of this. "I'm not sure, but Kaido said he has already made up his mind."
"He is already in Kozuki Castle in Kuri, it seems that the Beast Pirates are impatient and want to get rid of all the rebellious elements within Wano Country once and for all..."
"OK that's fine." Orochi stood up.
"It would be a great thing if we could really eliminate those great nobles. I'm tired of hearing the protests of those guys outside, I just hope they don't become uncontrollable."
Then he shouted: "Fukurokuju!"
[Swoosh!]
With a quick scrolling sound Fukurokuju appeared kneeling in front of Orochi. "Please give me your instructions, Shogun."
"Gather all the ninjas and get ready to go!"
"Yes!"
Instantly, Fukurokuju disappeared from the scene, and Orochi turned his gaze towards Higurashi, asking: "How many samurai are willing to follow my orders right now?"
"We have barely surpassed two thousand." Higurashi showed a worried expression and said in a deep voice: "Under the influence of the Kozuki family and those great nobles, the samurai do not have a great recognition of your identity as Shogun."
Orochi walked back and forth restlessly. "How are we going to complete the task Kaido has given us with so few people?"
"Each of those great nobles has at least three thousand samurai under his command, and there are surely people in the Flower Capital willing to follow Kozuki Oden. The enemy has about fifteen thousand samurai."
He felt more and more that Kaido was too anxious. Even the Beast Pirates couldn't stop such a large samurai army, right?
"No matter what, we still have to listen to Kaido's orders. In the worst case, we must prepare to evacuate Wano Country, if we lose the battle..."
Higurashi also lacks confidence.
"This is the only way. Let the ninjas spread the news first and then we will rely on the Beast Pirates and the others!" Orochi gritted his teeth and made a decision.
...
Meanwhile, over the town of Okobore the night sky was changing rapidly, becoming covered with dark clouds.
This attracted the attention and concern of the people below.
"What's going on? Is it going to rain?"
"Look!"
"That... that's..." Suddenly, a little girl suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the dark clouds on the right, where a blue dragon's tail poked out.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people saw a looming dragon in the clouds hovering over Oden Castle on the mountain, which caused a series of exclamations.
Suddenly an atmosphere of panic spread in Okobore Town.
"It's Kaido...what is he doing here?" In the Oden Castle, Raizo was standing on the balcony of the pavilion, solemnly looking at the huge blue dragon among the dark clouds. Behind him were sixteen year old Nekomamushi and Inuarashi.
"This is not a good sign. Quickly inform Lord Oden!" Raizo made an immediate decision, firm in his position. "Until then, our task is to protect Mrs. Toki and the two highnesses. We will hold out until Lord Oden arrives!"
...
"Mother, what happened outside?" Momonosuke and Hiyori hug Toki's legs, their faces full of tension.
"It's okay, it will be okay." Toki bent down and hugged the two children gently to comfort them, but in his heart he felt an unprecedented burden because he knew he had to make a decision quickly.
Although it all happened too suddenly, leaving no time for preparation.
"Mr. Raizo, Neko-chan, Inu-chan!"
"Lady." Raizo and the other two quickly returned to the room.
Toki pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Even if we notified Lord Oden, he wouldn't have enough time to get here. Kaido's target must be these two children, so we must take them away from here immediately."
"Only in this way can we keep the Kozuki family bloodline alive!"
"Mother!!" Momonosuke and Hiyori were scared when they heard this. When they tried to move away from Toki's embrace to ask what was happening, they realized that she was holding them tightly and giving them no room to let go.
"Momonosuke, you must remember that you are the future man who will lead the country of Wano and you are the descendant of the Kozuki family. You must live firmly..."
"Mother!" Momonosuke was frightened, and tears poured out of his eyes subconsciously. He didn't know what was going on, why a normal night turned into this.
"Madam, we can definitely take you to escape from here, even if it costs our lives!" Raizo said loudly.
"Yes, since I have become Lord Oden's retainer, I should do my best to protect your safety!" Nekomamushi and Inuarashi agreed together.
"It's too late. Kaido's people must have surrounded this place. Even if there are help from the samurai below, what if something happens to Momonosuke in the chaos? He is too young!"
Toki began to show signs of worry. He sincerely addressed the three vassals of hers in front of her. "I will use my power to send you to Wano country twenty years in the future. I trust you after that!"
"This......" Raizo and others stayed there, when Momonosuke suddenly turned his head and cried to his mother who was hugging him: "Then you can go with us!"
"I'm sorry, I have to stay with your father. I can't leave him alone here..." Toki kissed Momonosuke's forehead and then kissed Hiyori, who was confused.
