One Sword Superman of One Piece World

The spring breeze blows on his face.

After walking out of the bamboo forest, Yoshiichi Tsugikoku, who was wearing a black robe, slowly took off his heavy hood. The sunlight shone through the bamboo forest, and the mottled shadows of the trees were reflected on him.

This bamboo forest is located on the hillside of Fujiyama, and the flower city is at the foot of Fujiyama.

The streets are bustling with people, and the familiar ancient Tang-style buildings make Yoshiichi Tsugikoku seem to have returned to the world of Demon Slayer. The prosperous town scene also made Yoshiichi Tsugikoku realize that the rulers here have governed the country in an orderly manner.

"Does Kozuki Oden have such ability?"

"I underestimated him."

Yoshiichi Tsugikoku was a little surprised by the prosperous scene of Wano Country. In his impression, Kozuki Oden was not the kind of person who could govern the country well.

Of course. It is also possible that the person who governs this country is not Kozuki Oden at all. He may just be a "god" on the table.

It doesn't matter whether he can govern the country personally. What matters is that his surname is Kozuki and he is a member of the Kozuki clan. Governing a country is something that should naturally be done by those loyal retainers.

Generals who rely on blood ties and surnames passed down from generation to generation may certainly have the ability to govern a country, but the retainers they choose may be the most elite people in the country.

With such a guess in his heart, Tsugikoku Yoriichi also went down the mountain along the mountain path and walked towards the city.

His observation Haki swept across the island, but did not find the breath of Kozuki Oden.

Kozuki Oden was not on the island. In recent years, the Whitebeard Pirates have reappeared in the New World. The leader of those people is Kozuki Oden, and Wano Country is more like the base camp of the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates. These people will disappear from the sea after a while, and they should return to Wano Country to recuperate.

Yoriichi is not in a hurry. He only needs to wait for Kozuki Oden to come back in Wano Country. This is his old nest, and it is impossible for him to stay away all year round.

If Tsugukuni Yoshiichi went out to sea to search by himself, he didn't know when he could find Oden. He had no means to grasp the other party's location. Even if he knew which island Kozuki Oden was on, he didn't have a pointer to point the direction.

Flower City can be said to be the "city center" of Wano Country.

An island is divided into 6 areas in total, namely Kuri, Hime, Usagi, Flower City, Suzuho, ​​and Hakumai.

The two most densely populated areas are Kuri and Flower City.

Kuri has two towns with the largest number of civilians - Bakasagasa Village and Boro Town.

As the capital of the country, Flower City has only one town - Caishen Town.

This Caishen Town is also the most prosperous city in the country. People who can live here are either rich or noble, and the worst can be called a middle class.

As for the two Kuri towns, they are basically inhabited by some handicraftsmen and ordinary farmers.

In addition to the two most densely populated areas of Kuri and Flower City, the other areas of Wano Country are relatively functional.

For example, the Rabbit Bowl area has the only natural quarry on the entire island; Hakumai is a plain, with large beaches in the area surrounded by the sea on both sides, and one of the island's ports, Renmu Port.

Ximei is surrounded by mountains, where various wild animals live and the population is sparse; and Suzuko is more like a cemetery area, and people who died in Wano Country are basically buried in the northern cemetery of Suzuko.

Tsugikoku Yoriichi did not continue to cover his face with a black robe in Wano Country. This country is isolated from the world, and people living here basically cannot receive newspapers from the outside world.

Most people have no understanding of the outside world at all. Everyone is focused on their own lives. I am afraid that only the ruling class will pay attention to information from the outside world. Yoriichi does not have to worry about his identity being exposed in such a place.

Moreover, the black robe was too eye-catching in this place.

As the figures shuttled back and forth, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had already changed into a red kimono, wearing wooden clogs, tying up his long hair, and with a long sword on his waist, he looked just like a native warrior of Wano Country. If it weren't for his special hair color, he would not have attracted anyone's attention when walking on the street.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi walked aimlessly on the street, and sold a piece of gold in a jewelry store, and immediately made a lot of money.

But what Tsugikoku Yoshiichi didn't expect was that the occasional exposure of wealth did make him immediately targeted.

Flower City.

Hidden under the prosperous background of Wano Country is actually class solidification.

In Wano Country, whether you can have wealth in your life is closely related to your birth.

There are not so many opportunities for you to get rich in this country. Most people work hard all their lives, and I am afraid they can only be satisfied with their own food and clothing.

To live a good life, bold people often choose to take risks.

"Sir!!"

"Kurotan-sama!"

In a teahouse in the Flower Capital, hurried footsteps sounded from the corridor. Kurotan Orochi, who was drinking and listening to music in the house, suddenly heard the hurried shouts of his subordinates.

"Ding——"

The geishas in the house stopped playing, put away their instruments, tidied their clothes, and bowed slightly in the direction of Kurotan Orochi to indicate the end.

And not long after the piano music stopped, there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, the people in the Golden House want to see you for something!"

A dark shadow flashed outside the house, and the subordinates of Uncle Kurotan who hurried over knelt down outside the corridor and reported to the Kurotan Snake inside the room.

"Golden House?"

"Tsk, I'll see you!"

"Don't bother me at this time."

The black charcoal snake said in a cold voice, and turned his head, his face was full of smiles, and he looked at the geishas:

"Keep playing the music, keep on..."

Before he finished what he said, his subordinates shouted outside the house:

"The owner of the golden house said it was a big deal!"

"A stranger sold a piece of gold in the golden house, it's very big!"

"And that guy doesn't seem to know the value of the gold, it's a fat sheep!"

As soon as the voice fell, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the black charcoal snake, who was originally unruly in the house, walked out quickly, grabbed the collar of his cloth, stared, and asked with some joy:

"Big gold?!"

"Fat sheep?!"

"Where's the thing? Let me see it!"

The black charcoal snake asked impatiently, and perhaps because of excitement, his face was flushed.

"This"

At this moment, Lian Lian took out a small cloth bag from behind, held it in his palm, and offered it to Kurozumi Orochi with both hands.

Kurozumi Orochi also grabbed the cloth bag. As soon as the things were in his hands, the heavy weight made Kurozumi Orochi's face happy. He poured the things in his hands and found an irregular piece of gold the size of a thumb.

"!!!"

The quality of the gold is very good, the best of the best. In this country with a shortage of gold and silver, gold is not circulated among the people at all. The currency currently in circulation on the market is actually copper coins.

Moreover, the mineral resources of Wano Country are limited, and there are no gold mines in the country. The amount of gold in the entire country is extremely limited, and basically they are all ancient pieces handed down from hundreds of years ago.

The rarer the things, the higher the value. Gold, a rare mineral, has become a symbolic object for nobles to show their wealth.

Jinwu

In fact, it is the place where Jiguo Yuanyi sold gold for money. In fact, the existence of Jinwu is to provide services to the nobles of the country and help them create various gold jewelry.

It may be that there is only one person who sells pure gold in their gold house for several years.

And it has been there for so many years, and the customers coming and going are already familiar with each other. The appearance of strangers will naturally attract other people's attention.

In the final analysis, it is because Tsukuni Yuichi does not know Wano Country well enough that he is targeted.

With the strength of Tsukuni Yuichi, there will always be negligence in the details of life. In fact, he does not take the exchange of gold to heart at all.

If it were an ordinary person who has lived in Wano Country for many years, he would probably not exchange gold through the open gold house.

And this negligence of Tsukuni Yuichi also made his existence appear in the vision of Kurozumi Orochi.

Kurozumi Orochi is a retainer who follows Kozuki Oden. His status in Wano Country is only below that of the general and the regional daimyo.

In front of the Kozuki family, he is the most loyal dog, but in front of ordinary people, Kurozumi Orochi is a man-eating tiger.

Jinwu, who was able to do gold business in the Flower Capital, had his own power in both the underworld and the white world.

Coincidentally, Kurozumi Orochi, the attendant of Kozuki Oden, was involved in both the black and white worlds, and he could be regarded as a powerful figure in the Flower Capital.

After the death of Whitebeard, Kozuki Oden actually focused on running the Whitebeard Pirates. Most of the time, he stayed in his fiefdom, Kuri, and when he was free, he would go to Renbu Port to meet with the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He didn't think much about inheriting his father's position and governing the country.

And Oden's father was old and weak, with limited energy. The power vacuum also gave Kurozumi Orochi the opportunity to show himself, steal the authority, and cultivate his own power in the Flower Capital.

Subverting Wano Country is not Kurozumi Orochi's goal at this stage. He knows his own strength very well and knows very well that if there is no way to get rid of Kozuki Oden, it is impossible to truly rule Wano Country.

Without the opportunity, Kurozumi Orochi began to indulge in material desires, using various means to make a lot of money to satisfy his consumption desires.

The Golden House is one of his important means of making money.

"Gold, haha!"

"Such a big piece of gold."

"Did someone find a buried treasure on the island? Or did it flow out from Jiuli?"

"Hey, where is the guy who sells gold?"

Kurozumi Orochi bit the gold hard, leaving a shallow tooth mark. Feeling the texture of the gold in his hand, Kurozumi Orochi's face also showed an excited smile, and hurriedly asked.

"Left."

"But don't worry, sir. Our people are following him and will never let him get away."

"But. That man is dressed like a samurai and looks a bit tough!"

"Kaneya asked me to inform you because he hopes you can go there in person."

"Identify if that man is from Kuri?"

"If he is a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, then hehe"

As the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates settled in Wano Country, their crews would often go to the island to purchase some daily necessities. Naturally, the currency used in the outside world could not be circulated in Wano Country.

Therefore, the Whitebeard Pirates often go to the only gold house on the island to exchange some coins for daily living expenses.

It is true that Oden is very kind to the people of the Whitebeard Pirates, and never treats them badly in terms of food and drink.

But Marco and others will not accept the benefits of Kozuki Oden for no reason, even if he is now the nominal captain. After all, the crew members have a desire to consume in addition to their normal lives.

There have been some accidents on the island.

The Whitebeard Pirates were attacked after exchanging gold in the gold house, and the result was...

After such an incident, the gold house became cautious when doing some things. At least before taking action, they would confirm the identity of the person they were going to attack.

Obviously, the appearance of Tsugukuni Yoriichi also made them feel hesitant. They did not dare to act rashly against Yoriichi, who was dressed as a samurai.

"Ah?!"

"How could it be someone from the Whitebeard Pirates? Didn't that stupid lord Kozuki Oden go out to sea with the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"It seems they haven't come back yet? There's no news of their return from Renwu Port."

"It can't be someone from the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Just arrest this person and interrogate him about the source of the gold."

"If that person doesn't have other gold, kill him and throw the body away!"

The Kurozumi Orochi, who was in high spirits, had no intention of leaving the teahouse to check, and spoke directly to the subordinates in front of him in a low voice.

His face was full of sinisterness, and there was no psychological burden at all when doing things like killing people and robbing money.

"Yes! Yes!"

The subordinates who heard this also nodded repeatedly, and then quickly got up and ran outside.

Looking at the backs of his subordinates leaving, the Kurozumi Orochi also felt itchy in his heart, and he laughed and turned back to the room.

"Hey, hey, hey~"

"Look at this big piece of gold!"

"Hey, obey me obediently, no matter what kind of life you want, I can give it to you."

The door closed, and Kurozumi Orochi's laughter rang out from the room. Several geishas were held in Kurozumi Orochi's arms. The women's attitude of wanting to refuse but also welcoming also completely aroused Kurozumi Orochi's desire.

Not long after, bursts of panting sounded from the room.

During this period, a waiter occasionally passed by, but he just lowered his head, pretending not to hear, and quickened his pace to leave here.

Such things often happen in teahouses. Most geishas have imagined that such a day will happen when they take up their posts. It is often just a matter of thought to transform from a geisha to a geisha, and a customer is enough.
