The Resurrected Kozuki Oden?

Along the way, it could hear shouts of surprise from time to time coming from the ranks.

"So, there is really such a force in this world as the Marine Corps, which takes the maintenance of justice and order as its mission!" Issho said in awe.

"Where there is no absolute light, where the sun does not shine, there will naturally be darkness exists." Longinus did not hesitate for Issho, "the Marine Corps also has more genuine foundation compared to other forces, those soldiers who aspire to justice, is the real strength of the Marine Corps in this world!"

"Are you deliberately erasing your own role, little brother? I've heard the little girl tell me all the way about your heroic deeds! It's really hard to imagine that even one person can have that much impact and change on this world!"

Issho sighed longingly, "Compared to you, what I did is too small!"

"No! In fact, you're already doing very well!" Hiyori stood up on tiptoe and patted Issho's shoulder like a small adult, "As an ordinary person, you shouldn't be compared to a big hero like brother Vice Admiral in the first place!"

"That would make you feel inferior!"

"Ordinary people?" Issho laughed and rubbed his head; this was the first time she had called him an ordinary person even after exposing his strength.

But he didn't mind but nodded seriously, "Indeed, after seeing the damage that Kurozumi Orochi brought to the Wano, I only realized the threat that an evil monarch could pose, but failed to think further about the change that a great leader could bring to the world!"

"My benevolence can save one person, save two people, but it cannot save millions of people. Only by bringing the concept of justice to this world, like Vice Admiral Longinus, and allowing more people to devote themselves to justice under the inspiration of the example, can this terminally ill world be truly redeemed!"

"So, your answer is?" Longinus asked Issho.

"I want to stake my future on the Marine Corps, and also on you, Vice Admiral!" Issho said seriously.

"It's a dangerous thing to gamble with yourself!"

"But I can't take any more worthwhile bets other than myself, haha!"

"Then, you need to work hard, Seaman Recruit Issho! To get everyone to recognize your ideas, strength and status are essential in addition to your actions." Longinus laughed brightly, "I wait for the day when you become an Admiral."

"Vice Admiral-san, I must ..." said Issho, suddenly blushing awkwardly and asking, "By the way, can the Marine Corps gamble?"

The corners of Longinus' eyes jumped slightly, and he said in one word, "No ~ OK ~"

"Ahem, so is it too late for me to quit the Marine Corps?"

"What do you say?"

"Gion-nee! I can't believe it until now ..." Hiyori quietly came up to Gion's ear and said, "It's amazing that an offbeat character like Uncle Issho can become strong."

"Eh! In fact, Uncle Issho is okay!" On the other hand, with a complicated face, Gion remembered a certain more out-of-tune dog-headed man in the marine and could not help but smile sarcastically.

After that, Gion changed the subject and asked, "By the way, father, why were you so upset all the way?"

"O daughter, your vision is indeed excellent! But the problem is, Vice Admiral Longinus, he is a little too excellent!" Amamiya Haraichi said with a sad face, "Strong strength, good character, high status, even his looks are so outstanding, with him, you will be under a lot of pressure!"

"Hey, hey? Father, what are you talking about?" With a pretty face as red as a ripe prawn, white mist rising from her head, her eyes turned directly into bean eyes, "Where did I have that something or other with him!"

"Besides, I'm not as bad as you say that I am, you know?" Gion was indignant. Isn't it said that the daughter is the perfect one in the father's eyes? Why did it change with her?

Moreover, she is a goddess in the Marine Corps.

"Ugh! It's all my fault!" Amamiya Haraichi said bitterly, "I must have made you suffer too much outside when I sent you away from Wano back then, and that's why you look thin and yellow even now."

"Yellow face?" Gion was stunned and realized, "It's me who forgot to take off my mask, wait."

The next moment, Amamiya Haraichi's eyes widened, then nodded in satisfaction and said, "I'm relieved then!"

The little loli said with a slight acidity, "Hee hee, I forgot to take off my mask too!"

"The original Hiyori niece, you also ..." said Shimotsuki Yasuie. Several people first stared at the scene dumbfounded before turning their heads incredulously to look at Kawamatsu, "The three of them are pretending to be ugly, could it be that you are also? "

Kawamatsu lowered his head and said to himself, "I'm sorry, I'm really ugly."

"Haha!" Several daimyos gave an awkward laugh, "Actually, ugly has its advantages, men are more intimidating when they are ugly!"

Just as a few people were chatting all the way awkwardly forward, the sound of a conversation coming from not far ahead caught their attention.

"Did you see? Just now, a Dragon flew through the sky!"

"I saw it too, I saw it too!"

"Gee whiz! I even made a wish on the Dragon!"

"Do you really have no idea or fake no idea! Where is that Dragon? It's simply Kaido-sama, the protector of the country!"

"So it turns out that the Governor-General is actually a Dragon?"

"Speaking of which, the direction Kaido-sama flew over seems to be Kuri, right?"

"Kuri? Shouldn't that be Udon?" Gion couldn't help but ask out loud.

"It does seem a little strange." Longinus nodded slightly, " Kawamatsu, go and bring the people who are talking here, I have some questions to ask them."

Kawamatsu nodded; it was time for them to understand the "intimidation" of men.

Soon, the civilians were subservient to Kawamatsu's "authority".

"You don't have to worry, I'll ask a few questions and after that all this money will be yours." Longinus smiled and said soothingly.

He did not take too much money out; without the power's protection, too much money rather easy to bring disaster to them.

Under the power of money, they quickly calmed down and scowled and said, "Please ask, Samurai-sama."

"Is there anything big happening over at Kuri, lately?"

"If I were to say a big event, it would be the fact that one of the three disasters, Jack the Drought-sama, was defeated by a man named Moria!"

"Moria?" Longinus' eyes stared slightly, that man had this ability?

"Could it be that Kaido is there to avenge Jack's death?" Kawamatsu could not help but ask.

"Not true." Longinus' face gloomy, "even if Ember does not care about Queen's death, at least he should report to Kaido, to choose between Jack and Queen, Kaido should not first go to Kuri."

"And the most important point, the Moria Pirates' range of activity ... is not behind the bell?"

Longinus asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, how did Moria defeat Jack?"

The few people who were caught over have been sweating like rain. These people dare to call those monsters by their names. Are they not afraid of death?

To avoid suspicion, they replied as fast as they could, "I know, it's because of demon magic, the man called Moria holds demon magic that can bring the dead back to life!"

"And the reason he was able to defeat Jack-sama is said to be because ... he revived Kouzuki Oden-sama!"
