Chapter 136 Familiar Feeling
Kozuki Oden, sent flying by Whitebeard's full-power punch, crashed directly into the Ground in the distance. His vision even started to blur with his life flashing before his eyes. After all, this kind of powerful attack was something he had never experienced before.
"Hahahaha!"
A moment later, Kozuki Oden, completely disregarding his image, lay on the Ground and let out hearty Laughter. This was what he had been desperately seeking all along. Everything in Wano Country was just too boring.
"That Weapon is actually laughing?"
Bista looked at the Weapon in the distance who was spitting Blood from his mouth and nose, lying on the Ground looking like he could die at any moment, yet he was laughing heartily.
"Who knows? Maybe that Weapon's brain isn't working right," Marco said nonchalantly.
"Bastard!"
Just as Whitebeard was about to return to the Moby Dick, a large group of People suddenly rushed out of the Jungle.
As soon as these People appeared, they rushed straight towards Kozuki Oden.
"Do you Weapons know who this is? This is the Daimyo of Kuri, the future heir to the Shogun of Wano Country! Lord Kozuki Oden, how dare you offend him like this!"
Kin'emon said with a Long Sword in his hand, his face full of anger.
In his opinion, a vassal should die for his Lord's humiliation. Kozuki Oden's current embarrassing state was entirely due to their dereliction of duty.
"Oh, so he's the Daimyo of Kuri."
The attitude of the Whitebeard Pirates was very indifferent.
Izo and the others also glared angrily at the Whitebeard Pirates, angrily reprimanding them.
"How dare you attack Lord Kozuki Oden, are you prepared for the Resolve!?"
"Get out of here, you Pirates!"
"How dare you offend Lord Kozuki Oden, yah-hoo! Unforgivable, unforgivable!"
Faced with the accusations from the Kozuki Family retainers, Marco and the others were not to be outdone.
"How dare you attack the Whitebeard Pirates, I'll make you regret it!"
As he spoke, azure Flames began to rise from Marco's body, and his arms faintly transformed into the shape of Wings.
"Heh, Daimyo? Don't even mention Daimyo, we've killed Kings before, what is a Daimyo!"
Vista the Flower Sword also drew the Long Sword from his Waist. At the same time, as a Swordsman, his Aura directly erupted. Simultaneously, the People of the Whitebeard Pirates also released their Aura towards Kin'emon and the others.
Faced with the Aura of the Whitebeard Pirates, Kin'emon and the others were obviously a little overwhelmed. After all, in Wano Country, as long as they revealed their Status, it was enough to solve ninety-nine percent of the trouble. Even Hyougoro 'the Great Sword', a Big Shot in the underworld who was once dismissive of Kin'emon and was known throughout Wano Country, now treated Kin'emon as an equal.
"Enough, Kin'emon!"
Just as the situation was tense, Kozuki Oden, who had been lying on the Ground, also stopped laughing. He propped himself up from the Ground, reached out his hand, and stopped Kin'emon.
From the battle just now, he knew how powerful the Man in front of him was. If a full-scale conflict really broke out with the other side, it would be a complete disaster for Kuri, or even the entire Wano Country.
"Lord Kozuki Oden."
Kin'emon looked at Kozuki Oden, who was seriously injured in front of him, and hurriedly spoke.
"Kin'emon."
Saying this, Kozuki Oden looked at Whitebeard in front of him and directly performed a standard Dogeza: "I apologize, because of my impulsiveness, I have brought you so much trouble, how about this, during the period you repair your Ship, all expenses will be borne by us, and I can also let the Craftsman of Kuri assist you."
"Lord Kozuki Oden!"
Seeing Kozuki Oden kneeling on the Ground, the group of Kozuki Family retainers immediately became anxious, but no one noticed that Kozuki Oden had a smile on his lowered face.
For him, he had been waiting for almost twenty years, and a few more days wouldn't make a difference. First, he would appease Kin'emon and the others, and then build a relationship with Whitebeard. The matter of going to Sea would basically be settled.
"Alright then, we'll leave when the Ship is repaired," Whitebeard said directly after hearing Kozuki Oden's words.
"Yoshi, then Kin'emon, go to the Daimyo Residence of Kuri and post a Notice to recruit Craftsman."
After sending Kozuki Oden and his group away, Whitebeard sat on a Wooden Box, frowning as he looked at a Mountain Peak in the distance.
"What's wrong, Pops? Are you worried that those Weapons will cause trouble in secret? Do you want me to secretly follow them?"
Marco looked at Izo sitting on the Beach in the distance, monitoring the Whitebeard Pirates, and thought Whitebeard was worried that Kozuki Oden and his group would cause trouble and deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Marco, it's not those Weapons."
Whitebeard shook his head, then continued, "When I fought with that Weapon, I felt a familiar Aura appear nearby, but during the battle, I used Observation Haki to try to capture the other party, but I had no clue at all."
"A Weapon who can avoid Pops' Observation Haki?"
Marco was immediately shocked. Although Observation Haki was the bottom of the three types of Haki Whitebeard had mastered, it was still Whitebeard. Even the bottom-ranked Observation Haki was enough to crush ninety-nine percent of the People on the Grand Line.
But what did he just hear? Even Whitebeard couldn't detect the other party's trace.
"Then who does Pops think the other party will be?"
Marco asked with a curious expression. People who could make Pops feel familiar were almost all Top Expert on this Sea.
"Could it be Roger? But before we came here, the Roger Pirates seemed to have had a violent conflict with a certain country because of a Crew member, it's impossible for them to appear here.
Could it be Charlotte Linlin? But Charlotte Linlin is said to be about to give birth, so it's also impossible for her to come here.
Golden Lion is even more impossible, he is now busy forming a flying Fleet and plans to unify the Sea.
Then who exactly is it?"
Marco was also a little dumbfounded.
"I feel like it's Lightning Brat, but there's no reason for him to appear here," Whitebeard said with some uncertainty.
"Lightning Brat? Is that the Weapon who defeated Charlotte Linlin and Kaido when they joined forces? But that Weapon hasn't been heard from for several years, right?"
Whitey Bay on the side also spoke. Obviously, for many People on Whitebeard's Ship now, that was a strange name. After all, compared to those Powerful Figure who were now at their peak on the Grand Line, that Weapon was simply too low-key.
"Forget it, we'll leave when the Ship is repaired, maybe it's just my illusion," Whitebeard waved his hand nonchalantly.
At the same time, in the Shogun Residence of Flower Capital, in a Secret Chamber, a young Man with a square face and purple hair was kneeling on the Tatami. Opposite him was Kozuki Sukiyaki, the Shogun of Wano Country.
"I really didn't expect that Whitebeard that Weapon would actually appear in Wano Country," Kozuki Sukiyaki said with a face full of apprehension.
"So that Weapon called Whitebeard is very Strongest?"
The young Man asked with a curious expression.
"Hehehe."
Hearing this, Kozuki Sukiyaki seemed to have heard some earth-shattering Joke and laughed loudly.
"Orochi, it seems that Wano Country has indeed limited your Vision. There are countless Powerful Figure on the Sea. If a Weapon like Whitebeard is willing, he can easily take the entire Wano Country into his pocket, and even the Islands under his command are in the hundreds."
Speaking of this, Kozuki Sukiyaki paused for a moment, "But this is also an Opportunity. As long as Kozuki Oden goes to Sea with Whitebeard, then our Plan can be completed more smoothly.
The Ancestral Land of the Kuri Kurozumi Family and the entire Wano Country can also be taken back by us!
