………………
On this day, the black pirate flag with a white bone dragon head was officially raised above the General's Castle in the Flower Capital.
The flag fluttering in the wind heralds a new era for Wano Country.
Unfortunately, the people of Wano Country at the bottom of society are not yet aware of what this means.
After leaving the Flower Capital, Kaido led his crew back to the King of Beasts and sailed towards Onigashima.
At the same time, the Whitebeard Pirates officially parted ways with the Beasts.
Guri, Port Ida.
Kozuki Sukiyaki, leading a group of Wano Country daimyo still wrapped in bandages, bid farewell to Kozuki Oden and his Red Scabbards here.
"Oden, after you set sail with Whitebeard, don't just indulge in the pleasures of adventure all the time. Remember to constantly improve your strength!"
"You are the strongest genius in Wano Country. The future of Wano Country depends entirely on you!!"
As he spoke, Kozuki Sukiyaki looked at the Akazaya Samurai under Kozuki Oden's command.
"I entrust Oden's safety after he sets sail to the sea to you all!!"
The group of red-scabbard warriors bowed respectfully in response.
"Please rest assured, General!"
"Lord Oden's life is our life!!"
"The enemy will never be able to harm Lord Oden before they have trampled over our corpses!!"
Kozuki Sukiyaki looked at the Akazaya Ten Samurai with satisfaction.
"They are all excellent children!!"
Yes, after the crushing defeat of the previous few days, Kozuki Sukiyaki, having learned her lesson, decided to end the policy of national isolation.
No, to be precise, it means no longer restricting Kozuki Oden's desire to go on adventures.
The outside world is so vast that even a powerful figure like Whitebeard is not an isolated case.
So, in order to save Wano Country from Kaido's clutches, Kozuki Oden, the most talented of them all, was sent to sea to become stronger. This was Kozuki Sukiyaki's way of saving the country.
"Father……"
Only today did Kozuki Oden truly feel the overflowing fatherly love from his father.
After weeping bitterly while holding Kozuki Sukiyaki, he solemnly promised, "Don't worry, Father!!"
"One year!"
"Kaido will hold the World Martial Arts Tournament a year from now!!"
"When the time comes, I will definitely liberate Wano Country from his grasp!!"
Kozuki Sukiyaki nodded slightly.
"I believe in you, Oden!!"
After another round of farewells, Kozuki Oden officially led his Red Scabbards onto Whitebeard's Moby Dick.
He officially joined Whitebeard's crew and set sail with him.
"The World Martial Arts Tournament one year from now!!"
"Kaido! Just you wait!!"
"You're a genius! I, Kozuki Oden, am a genius too!!"
"I will definitely turn the tide at that moment!!"
With the conviction that he must defeat Kaido within a year, Kozuki Oden set sail.
In contrast, Kaido has just arrived at Onigashima, the infamous savage land of Wano Country.
An island resembling a demon's skull, quite desolate and not very large.
Upon officially landing on the island, Kaido frowned almost immediately.
The original version of myself was truly incredibly patient and reserved.
It's incredible that they've been able to use this garbage island as their base of operations for so many years.
If it were him, he would have killed Kurozumi Orochi long ago and moved to the Flower Capital.
Of course, to put it another way.
In the original timeline, Kaido honed his mind under harsh conditions to prevent himself from falling into the trap of pleasure, which can somewhat explain his idea of using Onigashima as his base.
Following the relatively wide road of Onigashima, Kaido led his subordinates into the interior of the giant skull.
This place is also a wasteland, with nothing particularly special about it.
However, what is surprising is that there is a small cluster of stone houses in the very center of the skull.
"Hmm, are you a refugee? Or an exiled criminal?"
Kaido led his men straight over.
Meanwhile, the Stone House settlement noticed the arrival of Kaido's large force even earlier.
So when Kaido and his crew arrived at the outskirts of the settlement, they were already prepared for battle.
A group of people, dressed in animal skins and with disheveled hair, resembling savages, each holding a samurai sword, were seen warily watching Kaido and his group with fierce eyes.
"Did Kozuki finally discover this place?"
"There's no other way, my men!!"
"Kozuki wants to annihilate our race! To wipe out our lineage!!"
"All we can do now is resist! We can kill!!"
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!"
A large group of savages shouted in unison and charged straight towards Kaido without saying a word.
Kaido didn't take any action, but simply said, "Don't kill them."
Upon receiving the order, Moriah immediately stomped his foot.
Countless black shadows, resembling tentacles, spread out from beneath his feet.
Upon contact with the shadows of the savages, these shadow tentacles immediately wrapped around their shadows like octopus legs.
The shadows were restrained, and this effect was reflected back to the original bodies, causing the savages' movements to come to an abrupt halt.
"What...what is this?!"
"Demon... Demonic magic..."
"There are even sorcerers here!! Damn it!!!"
The savages were not entirely ignorant; they recognized Moria as a Devil Fruit user.
In Wano Country, Devil Fruit users are called sorcerers.
This alone is enough to tell that these savages are most likely not real savages.
Kaido stepped forward and walked up to someone who looked like the leader.
Who are you? Why do you live here?
A massive 7.1-meter shadow loomed over the leader.
Kaido's tone was calm, and he didn't unleash any Conqueror's Haki.
However, over the years, his high position and the natural aura he developed as a leader have kept this leader from speaking recklessly.
"You...you're not from the Kozuki clan?"
The leader tentatively inquired, reasoning that if the other party were from the Kozuki clan, they shouldn't have failed to recognize them.
"Heh heh heh heh, who told you we have anything to do with Kozuki?"
"Look at our clothes, do we look like people from your Wano Country?"
The leader's eyes darted around, and he noticed that the Beasts Pirates' attire was indeed quite different from that of Wano Country.
They've only been on Onigashima for a few decades.
Given the closed and conservative nature of Wano Country, it would be impossible for clothing to undergo such a drastic change in such a short period of time.
