Haiyuan calendar year 1502.
This is the fifth year that Kozuki Oden has been dancing naked.
It is also the time of the five-year agreement with Orochi.
On this day, Oden was not wearing silk as usual, but a kimono and came to the Flower Capital with his retainers.
The weather today is a little different from usual. It is clearly noon, but the sky is covered with dark clouds, giving people an extremely depressing feeling, as if foreshadowing that something big is about to happen.
Oden looked at the Shogun's Mansion in front of him with a serious expression and felt a little uneasy.
Today is the time he and Orochi had agreed upon.
However, before Oden and his men could enter the Shogun's Mansion, Orochi was the first to walk out of the Mansion.
Behind him were the guards of the Oniwaban clan, and the Kurozumi siblings stood on his left and right.
"Orochi, the time we agreed on has come!"
Kozuki Oden said to Orochi with a sullen face.
There was a mocking look on the big snake's face, and his eyes were filled with a hint of teasing.
"Oden, is this your attitude?!"
Upon hearing this, Kozuki Oden's already heavy expression became even heavier.
The retainers behind Oden all looked gloomy and clenched their fists when they saw Orochi humiliating their master in such a way.
Kozuki Oden paused for a moment, and the next moment he slowly knelt down in front of Orochi, and knocked his forehead heavily on the ground.
"Orochi, our agreement is complete. Please return to Wano Country!"
Seeing this scene, all of Oden's retainers bowed their heads, and no one knew what they were feeling at the moment.
humiliation!
Extremely humiliating!
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hehehe!"
…
When Orochi saw that Oden actually knelt down to him, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
This brought a sense of satisfaction to his fragile heart.
Once again, everyone except Oden's retainers laughed.
Laughing at the original heir of Wano Country, laughing at his ignorance and naivety.
"Kozuki Oden, you don't really believe it!"
"How naive! Hahahaha"
The big snake couldn't help but sneer.
The undisguised mockery in his tone deeply pierced Kozuki Oden's heart.
"The reason we made the five-year agreement was because of your sudden return. At that time, Kaido's power had not yet grown, and you had too many supporters!"
"I didn't expect that you, such a fool, actually agreed to it, hahahahaha"
During these five years, Orochi did not do nothing. The daimyo of several regions were basically dead in name only.
He no longer posed any threat. Even Bao Goro, who had been silently encouraging him over the years, and his wife's men were all killed except Bao Goro.
In Wano Country, Oden's only helpers are basically his retainers.
Should we say he is stupid or naive? Among ninety-nine ways to win, he chose the only one that failed.
Orochi told Kozuki Oden all the news without reservation.
Looking at Oden kneeling on the ground, Orochi had the urge to step on Oden's head, but the fear of Oden ingrained in his bones made him give up the idea.
After saying this, Orochi felt that it was enough, and ignored Oden who was kneeling on the ground, and walked into the Shogun's mansion laughing.
After learning the news, Oden was silent for a long time.
After Orochi entered the Shogun's Mansion, Oden slowly stood up from the ground.
Without saying anything, he left the Flower City and headed towards Jiuli.
His retainers all followed Oden in silence.
Return to Jiuli Damingfu.
Looking at Momonosuke who was standing at the door looking forward to it, with his clothes full of patches.
Kozuki Oden could no longer hold back his tears of regret and hugged Momonosuke.
No one present spoke. There was no other sound except Oden's crying.
Momonosuke, who has always been a little naughty, was also quiet and didn't say anything.
It was unknown how long it took before Oden stopped crying, and his face was more serious than ever.
"Let's all go and have some rest! Tonight..."
"Defeat Kaido!!"
Now Oden has thought it through, and the only option now is to fight!
Upon hearing this, Oden's retainers were shaken and their eyes filled with tears.
"I will follow Lord Oden until death!"
The shouts of several people were like thousands of troops, as if they wanted to vent all the frustrations they had accumulated over the past few years.
At night, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the drizzle seemed to indicate that tonight would be a sleepless night.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Waves of footsteps in the rain came closer and closer.
A group of people were walking in the rain, and they were surrounded by a solemn atmosphere.
When they reached a cliff, the leader stopped.
The people behind him also stopped one after another.
The front of the cliff was shrouded in fog, and the rainy night made it even harder to see the situation ahead.
These are Oden and his retainers, the Nine Red Scabbards, who are preparing to go to Onigashima to defeat Kaido under the cover of night.
No.
Probably the Eight Red Scabbards.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, rain poured down, and an endless murderous intent spread.
A pair of huge scarlet eyes pierced through the mist and stared straight at Kozuki Oden, who was in the lead.
At this moment, the fog seemed to disperse consciously, revealing the road ahead and the creatures in the fog.
A giant dragon hundreds of meters long, and pirates all over the mountains!
"Kaido! Is this all a scam?!"
Oden's angry roar echoed throughout the mountains.
"Wurorororo..."
"Oden, you are so naive!"
Kaido never thought that there would be such a naive person in this world. He actually believed the obvious scam. Who do you blame?
The pirates all over the mountains also laughed.
Seeing this scene, Oden was completely furious.
"Kaido!!!"
Oden's eyes turned bloodshot, and the Enma and Hazakura swords at his waist were unsheathed.
Buzz!
A buzzing sound accompanied by a flash of cherry blossom-shaped airflow passed by, and Oden's two swords in both hands were covered with a layer of dark armament color.
Oden suddenly burst out, holding two swords, and his body was covered by orange and red flames.
Oden was like an arrow shot from a bow, piercing through the sea of pirates.
With a flash of red light, countless pirates were cut in half.
They didn't have time to react, and still had mocking smiles on their faces.
Seeing that their master had gone up, they, the retainers, could not be left behind.
They joined the battlefield one after another, showing their might and being extremely brave.
No small pirate can be their match.
Among them, Ashura Douji and Kin'emon are the two strongest and bravest.
Others should not be underestimated either, and they all used their own unique skills.
Suddenly, a flaming slash came and forced the Ashura boy back.
Although it was a rainy day, the surrounding trees were still ignited and soon became a raging fire.
"Hey, hey, hey, we can't let you guys slaughter us!"
Following a burst of slightly frivolous words.
One by one, two men in black clothes with flames on their bodies and a fat man entered the battlefield. The fat man knocked Cat Viper away with one punch.
The next moment, countless bats attacked Kin'emon. Kin'emon didn't know what they were and didn't dare let them get close.
"Hehehehe"
With a wanton and arrogant laugh, a black slash slashed towards Inuarashi.
Inuarashi narrowly avoided the attack and a cold sweat broke out all over his body.
"Hahahaha, if you set fire to the mountain, you'll be in jail for life."
"Dragon Breath!"
An ice dragon that seemed to be carved out of ice crystals flew across the sky.
The ice dragon opened its huge mouth, and a cold current carrying broken ice roared towards the Seven Red Scabbards on the ground.
"Damn it, why does Kaido have so many strong men under his command!"
They didn't want to try to avoid the power of the Ice Dragon's Breath.
The moment the dragon's breath touched the ground, a thick layer of ice instantly froze over the ground, and it continued to spread around.
