So, after Oden made a name for himself in Kuri, Kozuki Sukiyaki quickly restored his relationship with Kozuki Oden and directly appointed him as Daimyo.
Now that Oden was almost killed, and it's clear that Oden himself is full of resentment, how could the official government of Wano Country tolerate this?
As for the attitudes of other Daimyos, they should be the same as the Kozuki family because they were also deeply affected by the Kurozumi rebellion decades ago. Many people in their families died in the Kurozumi family's assassinations at that time.
Therefore, they hope to see the stability of the Kozuki family's succession and have high loyalty to the Kozuki family. They will not disobey the Kozuki family's orders.
In other words...
Himura Kenshin and the others might face the hostility of the entire Wano Country?!
No matter how well they can hide, how can they escape the investigation of the entire Wano Country?
No matter how good they are at fighting, how can they defeat all the samurai of Wano Country?
"Kenshin, how could you do such a thing?"
Hyogoro sighed deeply, and at this time, another voice came from beside him.
A woman's voice.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Oden?"
Hyogoro turned his head and found that the person who came was his wife. Hyogoro felt heavy-hearted. He looked up at the sky, feeling a faint ominous premonition. He said, "I think... we're in trouble."
"Trouble?"
Hyogoro didn't say anything more, but the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
No matter what happens now, no matter how much of a '侠客' he is, he can't change the fact that he's in the underworld. Being in the underworld means that he has done many things that are not openly recognized by Wano Country, meaning that the government holds a weakness over him.
If they were to force him to deal with Hiko and the others, what should he do?
Although he doesn't think things will develop to that point, he still understands Kozuki Oden relatively well. His current abnormality should only be a result of being unable to accept the initial serious injury. He will be much better when he calms down.
But he still felt that something was not right.
Especially when he thought of Oden's bright red eyes, they were like a demon's eyes, with darkness flowing in that red color...
"We're leaving the Flower Capital!"
Suddenly, Hyogoro said to his wife.
"What?" His wife was shocked. "Why are we suddenly leaving the Flower Capital for no reason?"
"Don't ask, just listen to me." Hyogoro's intuition warned him that he should leave here now, and he also wanted to find Kenshin and Hiko to ask them what exactly happened and why Oden hated them so much.
Oden is usually carefree, even if he was seriously injured, he shouldn't be so angry.
It must be...
Something happened.
Thinking like this, he quickly returned to the house to pack up, and then ran out again with some money needed for the road.
His wife still didn't understand what was happening, but since Hyogoro had said so, she could only follow him.
She also quickly packed her luggage, and within a few minutes, the two of them had a package on their backs.
Soon, the侠客 Hyogoro, who shook the Flower Capital and even Wano Country, left his residence.
.........
"?!"
At this moment, Ann, who had already arrived in Wano Country, frowned as she watched the two people running past her quickly.
Two people, one male and one female, carrying some packages, as if they were fleeing.
Ann turned her head, looking at the backs of the two people, and remembered them.
Since she came to investigate, then of course, no clues can be let go. Since the behavior of the man and woman is abnormal, it may be a clue, it's better to remember it first.
Coming to Wano Country is really not easy. Wano Country is like a place hard to invade, but under normal circumstances, there is no 'man' guarding it, and Ann is extremely flexible and sharp, so she wouldn't have much trouble reaching Wano Country.
After arriving in Wano Country, her first goal was the capital of Wano Country, the Flower Capital. This is the center of Wano Country, and naturally it is also the information center. She can find out many things here.
Walking on the crowded streets, she paid attention to the surrounding buildings and then walked into a huge building.
The places where you can find out the most information are taverns and casinos. Because it is not time for eating and drinking, Ann chose the casino.
This place is filled with all kinds of characters. From high-ranking officials and nobles to lowly rogues, everything is available. There is no place that can quickly understand a city better than here.
There are still many people here. They are sitting together in groups of three or five, carrying out their own 'games' on the tables. She can notice that there are guards in many places, on a large scale. It is a casino that meets her requirements.
However, as soon as she entered, a man with a flushed face and full of alcohol staggered over. He said a little incoherently, "Yo, whose little girl didn't stay home to take care of her husband and children and actually came to this kind of place? And dressed like this, what a bitch."
?
Ann frowned. She glanced at the people around her and found that there was also some disgust in their eyes.
What, is there discrimination against women in this place?
The outside world knows very little about Wano Country because they are closed off. The Marine's intelligence only includes some place names and power distribution, and they don't know anything about Wano Country's local customs.
Are the women of Wano Country supposed to take care of their husbands and children?
And what's wrong with her clothes?
Isn't this normal clothing on the sea?
She is wearing a white short-sleeved crop top, with a sky-blue short jacket over it, and knee-length jeans on the lower body. This is quite conservative on the sea, okay?
But thinking about it carefully, she doesn't seem to have seen any women dressed like her on the way here.
But...
She looked at the man who seemed to want to touch her, her eyes gradually turning cold.
Puff!
In the sight of others, that hand stretched out by the drunken man...
Suddenly it was cut off?!
Ann seemed to have been standing still without any movement. No one could see what had happened. In short, it was as if the man's hand had been cut off in that instant.
The man didn't react at first, but when the blood splattered out, he suddenly let out a painful wail.
"Ahhhhh...!"
The man immediately fell to the ground in pain, rolling around. Ann glanced at the man with some disgust, then directly passed him and walked into the crowd.
[To be honest, I have been using the reading app to read and update books recently. It has a lot of sources, switching sources, and multiple reading voices. It can be used on both Android and Apple. ]
The crowd was in an uproar, and the surrounding security personnel were also rushing over quickly.
"How troublesome..."
Ann sighed. She just wanted to find out some information. How did it suddenly become like this?
She resisted the urge to release Conqueror's Haki to stun everyone, but obviously, there was no way to get information from the gambling games.
Then...
Just go in hard?
