Since we can't find where the demons are, and we can't find who summoned them, then we'll start an island-wide attack, destroying every inch of the island. If needed, we can even completely destroy Wano Country.
Just like what happened at God Valley back then.
Aatrox's appearance made people realize the strength of demon lords. Last time, we relied on luck and cooperation from many sides to finally push Aatrox back. This was largely because Aatrox's own weakness was too obvious –
He needs flesh to maintain his existence.
When there's plenty of flesh, he's naturally incredibly strong, but as time passes, if he doesn't get more flesh, his body will weaken.
[A ten-year reader friend recommended me this book-chasing app, Yeguo Reading! It's really easy to use. I use it to listen to books while driving and before bed. You can download it here.yeguoyuedu]
But the next demon lords might not have this weakness. How will we deal with them then?
So, to prevent demon lords from appearing, the World Government is willing to pay any price.
An doesn't want to see that happen. Based on what she knows about other Marines, Ah Xing and Zephyr probably wouldn't agree either. The three Marine Admirals still have some principles.
However, Kong definitely wouldn't care about such things, and neither would the World Government, or Makima from The Black Order...
Anyway, let's try to prevent things from getting to that point.
So An must quickly investigate the truth. Right now, she's looking at Hyogoro, knowing that he's a breakthrough point.
Hyogoro is also looking at An. He definitely won't believe An so quickly, but An is giving off a powerful aura that's holding him firmly in place.
He's also been thinking for a long time. The three of them are just standing here, with two of them carrying a lot of stuff on their backs.
"Okay, I'll tell you what happened."
After thinking for a long time, Hyogoro decided to just tell her. It's not exactly a top secret.
And if what An is saying is true, then it's better to resolve things as soon as possible.
First, he'll test An through this matter. If her actions are acceptable to him, they can continue to cooperate. If she's lying to him, then that'll be the end of it.
"Let's keep moving."
An glances behind Hyogoro and turns around, saying, "Someone is already chasing you. We can talk as we walk."
Hyogoro subconsciously looks back, but doesn't see anyone.
He has powerful Armament Haki, even the advanced technique of Armament Haki Emission, which is called Flowing Sakura in Wano Country, but he doesn't have Observation Haki, so he can't sense things from afar like An can.
He and his wife follow An and start talking about what happened before.
......
Meanwhile, while Hyogoro is telling An about Oden and Kenshin, in the Flower Capital...
"What? Boss Hyogoro ran away?!"
In the medical room, Kozuki Oden looks at his father, Kozuki Sukiyaki, in surprise.
"Yes, and he took his wife with him."
Kozuki Sukiyaki looks at the shocking wounds on Oden's body and is angry, "I even thought he was a hero. I've been turning a blind eye to him for so many years, but he actually did something like this!"
Oden grits his teeth. The scene of Kenshin 'killing' him flashes in his mind again, and a hint of black flashes in his eyes, filled with endless anger.
Damn it!
Boss Hyogoro actually left the Flower Capital because of that Himura Kenshin!
Oden knows that Hyogoro left because he didn't want to betray Himura Kenshin. He thought he and Hyogoro were good friends, but after Himura Kenshin almost killed him, he actually chose to stand with Himura Kenshin?!
"Damn it!" Oden is furious, "I must find that Himura Kenshin and get revenge!"
"Lord Oden!"
As soon as he finishes speaking, several people rush in from outside the door, looking at Oden lying in bed with worried expressions.
"Kinemon, Denjiro, Kiku, Izo, Kanjuro, Raizo, why did you come to the Flower Capital?"
The anger on Oden's face lessens a bit. Looking at his retainers, the fire in his heart isn't as intense.
"We all heard that Lord Oden was injured, and we rushed to the Flower Capital without stopping for a moment. Are you okay?"
Oden sighs softly, "I should be fine in a while. By the way, what about Ashura Doji?"
"He stayed in Kuri to guard it. After all, we all left, and Kuri can't be left unguarded." Kinemon says quickly, "Should I call him over?"
"No need." Oden gasps for air, "You did the right thing. Let him stay in Kuri."
"Lord Oden, who exactly is the maniac who hurt you?"
Suddenly, another flash of black appears in Oden's eyes.
He clenches his fist.
"No matter who he is, I want him dead!"
Kinemon and the others are also excited, shouting things like "I'll never let anyone who hurts Lord Oden go" and "We'll go and bring him back right now."
Oden says coldly, "I will personally bring him back and then kill him."
Oden feels that his strength has been increasing since he walked through the gates of hell. He is much stronger now than he was when he fought Kenshin before.
If he meets Kenshin again now, he is confident that he can win!
But his goal isn't just Kenshin. He also remembers what Hyogoro said.
Himura Kenshin has a master named Hiko, and he might even become the strongest warrior.
One Himura Kenshin and one Hiko, they are both Oden's targets. Oden must prove that he is stronger than them. He is the invincible warrior in the world!
That Himura Kenshin killed him, and he must kill him back.
He feels his body is recovering quickly. The injuries that Himura Kenshin inflicted on him were clearly fatal, but now they are recovering almost completely in such a short time.
This is the feeling...
Oden looks at his subordinates who are swearing allegiance to him, and he also announces, "Good! Now follow me to find Himura Kenshin!"
"Now?" Sukiyaki, who is standing beside Oden, says with some worry, "You're so badly injured. Isn't that too much?"
"Don't worry, I feel better and stronger than ever!"
Oden gives a smile that he has never shown before. The smile looks a bit evil, and Kinemon and the others are stunned.
He jumps straight off the bed, puts on his clothes carelessly, and walks out the door without a care. Sukiyaki doesn't stop Oden, because he has never succeeded in stopping Oden from doing what he wants to do in all these years.
"I hope..."
Sukiyaki frowns.
"Nothing else will happen, right?"
