Chapter 288 The Unparalleled Heavenly Moon General
After several days of turmoil, the chaos in the Flower Capital is nearing its end.
Whether it was the combined forces of the three great lords or the remnants of the old-era nobles who had fled.
They all perished in the encirclement and suppression plan directed by Bazeir.
【City of Flowers】
The eight-headed serpent standing outside the general's mansion suddenly opened its eyes.
"Wow, you guys are really resilient, you're still alive."
The main head looked at the barrier sphere in the snake's mouth to its side.
"How could I possibly lose? This is a matter of great importance concerning the future of the Kurotan clan."
Kurotan Chanmaru was pale and had chapped lips.
The light that had once been bright in his eyes had now dimmed considerably, much like a candle that had burned out.
"But your master seems to be unable to hold on any longer."
Kurozumi Semimaru did not go to see the already dying Kurozumi Orochi.
Having lost power, failed in his plans, and gone without a drop of water for days, Kurozumi Orochi was in even worse shape than his retainer.
"Let us leave, and I will keep my promise, Lord Bazel."
An increasingly hoarse voice reached Bazel's ears.
"The Kurotan clan will disappear at the edge of the sea and will never appear again."
"—Since that's the case, I'll just do a good deed this once in a while."
A hint of mockery flashed in his vertical pupils. Bazel loosened his grip on the snake's mouth and spat out the barrier ball covered in venom.
Kurotan Seimaru's eyes widened, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
He never expected that the enemy would actually let him leave.
But before he could even say thank you, the barrier ball, falling at high speed, crashed heavily to the ground.
The two inside were thrown around and became dizzy. Kurozumi Semimaru's barrier gesture instantly collapsed.
"you----!!!"
Sensing something was wrong, Kurozumi Semimaru, barely managing to stay conscious, didn't even have time to say anything before the enormous meteor hammer came right in front of him, taking up all his vision.
Bang--!!
Red and white things were splattered all over the ground.
"Yalalalala~~~ You old bastard, Bazel said he'd let you go, but I never said that!"
Hanafza tossed the meteor hammer to his nearby henchmen to clear it away, then bent down to pick up the large, black charcoal snake that was calling out "Grandma, Grandma!"
"Bazaar, the general's ceremony is about to begin. Miss Shi and our troops are on their way here."
"There weren't many nobles participating in this flag-raising ceremony. There were former generals and some nobles from the Serpent City who had been hiding but were captured by us."
"Miss Shi will take on the role of the good cop, and the bad cop—"
"I'll play the bad cop."
The Yamata no Orochi slowly shrank, and Bazel, now back in human form, took the water jug handed to him by his subordinate and drank heartily.
"After dealing with the Flower Capital, only Nozomi's side remains to be taken over. After the ceremony ends and we rest for a day, you will take a group to Nozomi."
"At that time, Rambo and Babanuki will bring people from Kuri and Linggo to support you."

"As for the person in charge of that place—"
Bazel rubbed his temples, looking quite troubled.
If Kaido were still alive, he originally planned to leave Kaido in the Flower Capital to guard the area, while he himself went to check on the situation in Nozomi's area.
But that irresponsible, idiotic captain went off to have fun again—
The Linghou side was handled by Shimotsuki Ushimaru and Babanuki.
White Dance is composed of Jin, Jinbe, and Kozuki Sukiyaki, while Udon is composed of Davego and Asiya.
In addition, there's Loki and Kuma heading to Elbaf, and Quinn going alone to Future Lands to make a deal with Dr. Tsukimi.
After calculating for a long time, Bazel realized that he really couldn't spare any manpower.
As for Babel.
It's not that Bazell didn't want to use him, it's that that old scoundrel was just wasting his time.
Aside from myself, I can't get anyone else to do anything.
Even Kaido wouldn't work.
If we're talking about seniority, then the fish-man is Kaido's senior on the path of piracy.
If he were thrown to Hime, even a fool could foresee the earth-shattering things that the other party would do. "Hanafza, I'll trouble you to stay in that area for now. I really don't have any extra people available."
"That idiot Kaido, if he had stayed, none of this trouble would have happened!"
Hanafza didn't refuse: "I have no problem going over, but I'll just be there to keep an eye on things. I can't do what you guys do."
"No problem, I'll have Lauren bring the Shandians over to help you."
Bazel sighed and quickly composed himself as he sensed the approaching moon in the sky.
"If Loki were here, at least he could practice on that dilapidated Hemisphere."
"Honey~!"
Before the golden crow that flew in had landed, Tian Yueshi quickly leaped down and pounced into the man's arms.
"How was it? Everything went smoothly, right?"
Tianyue nodded vigorously, rubbing against Bazel's chest like a kitten.
"Hey, you two—"
Hanafza glared with deadpan eyes. "There are other people here. If you want to be intimate, go home!"
"Hurry up and prepare for the general's ceremony. I've already had Costa and the others get everything ready."
"Sister Shi~~"
Upon hearing this clearly overused address, Bazel turned to look at Gion, who was leading a group of bloodstained geishas.
"You bastard, I haven't settled accounts with you yet! Didn't I tell you not to cause trouble with that thing?"
"Look at him, sister~~"
When Gion hugged Tengetsu, she teared up with a pitiful expression.
"He yelled at me again, even though I caught so many hidden nobles."
Tengetsu patted Gion's hand, looking as if to say, "I'll take care of things for you."
"Bazel, we really owe a lot to Gion this time. It was she who mobilized those sisters who were hiding in noble homes and enduring humiliation."
"Through them, we found the hidden treasures and escape routes of those nobles."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to capture all the nobles so easily."
Bazel looked at Gion making faces at him, his eyes twitching.
Good heavens!
You still dare to push your luck?
"Sister, look at him! He's glaring at me again!"
Large drops of water fell, and Gion deliberately bent down and buried her face in Tenzuki's neck, sobbing.
"I'm done living! Fine, no praise, no problem!"
"If you keep pretending, I'll have Hanafza tear down your Yoshiwara."
"—I have nothing else to say."
Gion immediately stopped crying and started whistling as if nothing had happened.
Bazel grunted and took the lead in walking towards the raised platform.
It was called a high platform, but it was actually just a general's pavilion that he had demolished most of with the enormous body of the Yamata no Orochi.
Then the wooden ox was activated, and a temporary protruding platform was built there using wood.
The purpose was to allow everyone in the Flower Capital to participate in bidding farewell to the old era.
This is what is known as a sense of ritual.
"Gion, this place."
As he walked, Bazel pointed towards the Great Serpent City.
"From now on, this place will serve as your base. The pollen smell in the Flower Capital is too strong, making it unsuitable as the capital of a country."
"After Toki became a shogun, the Flower Capital was renamed Flower Yoshiwara."
"The town of Rakshasa and the former territory of Orochi Castle have all been incorporated into the territory of Yoshiwara. You are the first leader of the Flower Yoshiwara after its establishment."
"You will be in charge of the entire sex industry in Wano Country. I hope that Hana no Yoshiwara will become the eyes that monitor Wano Country."
Do you understand what I'm saying?
When the conversation turned to business, Gion's expression became solemn: "I know that I will establish a team to monitor Wano Country in the name of the courtesan, Akashi."
As he stepped onto the stairs leading to the platform, Bazel nodded slightly.
"Ah Shi, once you become a general, you must immediately relegate the Night Owl Group to the background and make it your personal guard."
"The director is still Rambo, and he is tasked with selecting the most capable members of the Tots to serve as team members."
Deputy Director Ashura Doji and his entire original force were eliminated and reassigned to the official city defense forces of Kyuri.
A thoughtful look flashed in Tenzuki's eyes as he asked softly, "Are you worried that Jin's killing of the Nine Red Scabbards will displease him?"
Bazel did not deny it: "He is a hero, that's undeniable."
"Although it's unclear whether he'll develop any reservations, it's always good to be cautious."
"Promote him to the position of director of the city defense force, and promote his former subordinates as well, and reassign them to the expanding towns of Hakuro, Udon, Hana no Yoshiwara, and Nozomi."
"Especially in Hana no Yoshiwara, with Gion watching over things here, all the die-hard fans of Ashura Doji can be transferred here."
"We can use the excuse that the new city needs our own people to guard it to dispel the suspicions in those people's hearts."
"Gion, when those people come to help you under the guise of assisting you, make reasonable arrangements for your subordinates to keep an eye on them."
Gion accepted the mission: "Understood. I will assign people to carry out the mission based on their personalities."
As he took the final step onto the platform, Bazel stood on the edge of the platform, looking down at the City of Flowers.
"The next few months will be the most critical period of this new era. I've said that to Jhin before."
"If anyone dares to undermine you at this critical juncture, attempting to use their achievements to demand special privileges, they don't need to talk to me."
"No matter who it is—"
A chilling killing intent emanated from Bazel's body.
Even with the golden sun flying overhead, it couldn't dispel the chill that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Even your former subordinates under Hanafza will be killed without mercy."
"Before the grand banquet begins, I want to see a stable and prosperous Wano Country."
"Instead of a country that acts recklessly because of its achievements."
"If I hear of anyone in charge of a region having privileged status, nobles, or people with connections—"
Bazel turned his face, his expressionless face sweeping over the group of people behind him.
"I won't cause trouble for that person with connections; I'll cause trouble for the person in charge."
"This matter concerns the future of our Beasts Pirates, and we cannot afford to be careless in the slightest."
"Kill those who deserve to die, bury those who deserve to be buried!"
"I'm granting you the right to act first and report later."
"Go ahead and do whatever you want, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."
"In the future, whether they are Celestial Dragons or nobles of the kingdom, no matter what kind of tourists come to this kingdom, they must tuck their tails between their legs when they come to my territory!"
"If you can't hold him, just cut him down with your sword!"
"If the ideals of Wano Country are feasible, then the future of the sea is promising."
Bazel stepped aside, gesturing for Amaterasu to take the lead in the speech area.
"Let's begin, Shi. You start with the red face, and I'll finish with the white face."
"~~~and, close your eyes and take several deep breaths."
When he opened his eyes again, Tengetsu's gaze became even more determined.
She knew that everything her husband said was the most reasonable course of action.
If privileges are granted, there will be nobles in the future.
In a few hundred years, Wano Country will almost certainly repeat the same mistakes.
Only by eradicating the weeds left over from the old winter at this time can we welcome the delicious rice harvest in the following spring.
She doesn't want to play the good cop!
As he walked toward the lecture area, Tianyue had an idea in mind.
She can't always rely on her man to pave the way for her; she has to forge her own path!
She, Tianyue Shi, is not just a pretty face; she will become the unparalleled Tianyue General!
Walking to the edge, I looked down at the crowded people below, their whispers creating a noisy atmosphere.
"Quiet."
The Wind-Bend Bird uses the wind to transmit its sound to every commoner in the Flower City who comes to watch the play.
"My name is Amatsuki Toki, the last member of the Amatsuki clan, and also the Great Shogun of Shinwa Province."
A commotion erupted in the audience from afar.
Ignoring the commotion, Tianyue gestured to Hanafza to bring the sinner to the front of the stage, under the slightly astonished gaze of Bazel.
"Put them on ropes and hang them in front of the crowd."
"Gentlemen, the new Wano Country needs neither nobles nor privileges!"
"I swear on the blood of the nobles of the old era that Wano Country will never again have privileges or nobles!!"
"Anyone who dares to talk to me about special privileges will be executed by me!"
"The people of Wano Country have only one identity: citizens of Wano Country!"
