Pirate of Darkness

(The Crow Tengu in the previous chapter was changed to the Great Tengu)

After hanging up the phone, Whitebeard walked out and faced the searching eyes of his sons.

"Spread the news that our Whitebeard Pirates need an ancient devil fruit. In the past few days, if possible, I owe him a favor. Let's set sail now and go to the country of Wano."

Whitebeard didn't say what exactly happened, but it could be seen from the look on his father's face that things must be bad, and something happened in Wano Country.

Whitebeard made his greatest commitment and last effort. If he could, he could naturally let Oden survive.

If that still doesn't work, then this time, I will go see Oden one last time.

The news that Oden was seriously ill and on the verge of death was blocked, and only the top brass of Wano Country knew about it, but this dealt a major blow to Wano Country.

And this was just the beginning. On the third day after Oden fell, two more samurai fell down. They had the same symptoms and faced even worse conditions. Their physiques were much worse than Oden's.

Day four, three.

On the fifth day, three people.

In the days that followed, the entire Flower City and even the Country of Wano were cast in a haze that could not be dissipated.

With the same physical symptoms, people fall down every day.

These fallen people were all warriors of the Flower City. The entire Flower City was frantically searching for who might have poisoned them? How was it poisoned?

Want to find an antidote.

But nothing works, no signs can be found, everyone who can be suspected has been suspected, and the only ones who can poison are the people around them.

The evil insects have also been searched. As the minister in charge of food, it is very easy for him to do something like poisoning.

But on the third day, all suspicion was removed, for the samurai had been watching him, and he had done nothing during this time.

Who could have imagined that the world government would have a three-year layout.

The targets of the poison are people from the World Government.

There is no need to doubt this at all.

In this case, the news could not be concealed at all, because both Kozuki Oden and other samurai fell in full view of the public.

People throughout Wano were in panic, and even the efforts to clean up rats had been reduced a lot.

The situation in the Flower City makes them worried and frightened. Who knows that the world government will not poison them?

The unknown is the most frightening thing. What poison has been poisoned by the world government? What method of poisoning was used? They know nothing.

The core generals of the entire Wano Kingdom fell, and powerful samurai fell one after another, including Asura Doji, a close confidant who could be said to be the right-hand monster of Wano Country.

In just six days, more than ten powerful samurai fell in Wano.

"Act quickly. The protective force of the Shogun's Mansion has been weakened to the lowest level. If you don't act, the Whitebeard Pirates will arrive in Wano Country." The intelligence department of the World Government noticed the traces of the Whitebeard Pirates and urged the Whitebeard Pirates in Wano Country. cp0.

"Specific time." Gaia did not panic.

"It's tomorrow, I don't have much time for you."

"Okay, I understand." After hanging up the phone, Gaia began to gather the power in her hands and prepared to take action.

The Whitebeard Pirates traveled day and night, and it took seven days to reach Wano Country. During this period, Whitebeard also deliberately used the power of vibration to change the currents to speed up the voyage.

What is very disappointing is that no one responded to Whitebeard's call. Whitebeard's favor is very precious. Even if it can be compared with the ancient species, you still need to think about it carefully.

How could it be possible to send the ancient species here in this short period of time?

The sea is like this, very helpless. Roger was terminally ill back then, and now Oden has been poisoned by an incurable poison.

It can be learned from Marco that Oden's time is running out, maybe only two or three days, or even shorter, and he must rush over as soon as possible to take a last look.

Nowadays, many warriors in the Flower City dare not even eat for fear of being poisoned. They are also suspicious of each other, thinking that the poison is hidden among them.

The general's wife, Tianyue Shi, and their three children were all on their way here. They were moved out of Wano Country before the rat tide arrived and were placed on an isolated island near Wano Country.

That island has no name because no one lives there. Originally, at this time, it would have had a famous name, Ghost Island, the headquarters of the Beast Pirates.

A small part of the residents of Wano Country who were resettled, approximately 30,000 people, are on Onigashima.

After receiving the news that Oden was about to die, Amazuki Toki took his children and rushed to the Flower Capital under the protection of three retainers, Kawamatsu, Denjiro, Kikunochō and some samurai.

Time is running out, and at this time, the world government finally plans to take action.

Very early on, Gaia created a passage connecting the underground of the General's Mansion.

Under the ground of the General's Mansion, Gaia's face was wearing a mask, his unchanged shape and mask, and his identity would be recognized once he appeared.

In cp0 no mask is the same, every mask is equivalent to their code name.

"Remember, I will cause chaos first. You will invade the underground immediately and grab the signpost stone. The other members will block the incoming warriors."

"I have been working for this moment for several years, striving to complete the task within five minutes."

It sounds easy, but Gaia is very serious. It has been preparing for several years just for this task of just a few minutes. If everything goes well, it can be completed in a few minutes.

If an accident occurs, the mission is likely to fail, which is unacceptable to the world government.

If no miracle happened, Kozuki Oden's death was a foregone conclusion and he had successfully caused heavy damage to Wano Country.

Now there is only one last task left, which is to grab the signpost stone.

They have planned everything.

At this time, the defense under the General's Mansion was very weak. No one even cared about the existence of the signpost stone, and the power of the Flower City was scattered.

As long as the time is fast enough, the country of Wano can be caught off guard, get the signpost stone before the strength gathers, and successfully evacuate.

"yes!"

The earth shook, and the entire ground suddenly rose. In a short period of time, it turned into a rock giant over a hundred meters tall.

A huge warhammer condensed in his hand and hit the general's mansion hard.

Also appearing were agents wearing suits or cloaks.

As soon as he takes action, he attacks fiercely, pointing his spear and attacking his feet, attacking the surrounding warriors and the general's palace, causing huge damage in the first place.

All the warriors reacted quickly to the sudden change.

"World Government!"

"Finally took action!"

Looking at the figures appearing one by one, the eyes of many warriors flashed with strong hatred, and they charged forward with samurai swords, resisting the attacks of these agents and fighting with each other.

The huge movement could be felt throughout the Flower City, and warriors from further distances kept coming.

Under the control of Gaia, sharp thorns shot up from the ground. The warriors with quick reactions avoided them in advance. Many warriors were still a step too late and were killed or severely injured by the thorns that penetrated their bodies. .

"snort!"

"Damn it, you still dare to show up!"

The appearance of World Government agents also caused huge damage, which suddenly made many warriors angry, and powerful slashes appeared in the airspace.

The huge rock giant was dismembered in an instant, showing the great strength of the swordsman.

But it's useless. The rock giant is controlled by Gaia, and its body is hidden inside the rock giant. If it can't hurt Gaia, it's useless.

Gaia only needs to expend physical energy to regroup.

The body of the rock giant is very hard, comparable to steel, and is made of compressed mud and stone. The power it erupts is unmatched by Pikanō, another person with the stone fruit ability.

Although the two are somewhat similar in ability.

In just a few seconds, the collapsed rock giant recovered with strange power.

The rock hammer hit hard, the general's mansion was directly damaged, and a large number of buildings were destroyed.

Marco's figure appeared, and he turned into a phoenix, taking the unconscious Kozuki Oden to avoid the blow.

"Phoenix Seal!"

The immortal green flames condensed on both claws and struck the hammer handle like a seal. The powerful force directly split the hammer into two.

"Huh?" Gaia noticed Kozuki Oden and saw his comatose appearance. She immediately had an idea. It would be great if she could directly deal with Kozuki Oden.

Anyway, the current goal is to contain Wano's combat power and attract the main force. As long as the goal is achieved, anything can be done.

He easily condensed the hammer and aimed it at Oden.

In order to protect Oden from accidents, a large number of warriors targeted Gaia and continued to attack to contain Gaia's actions.

Just like Barrett, Barrett must be dismembered to weaken his strength, and at the same time let him continue to recover to delay time.

Gaia didn't care about some physical exertion, which delayed the actions of many warriors.

The goals of both parties are the same.

In the secret, Gaia is watching the actions underground.

As a person with the ability of the Earth Fruit, the earth is his eyes and has a very large range of perception. Although he cannot accurately perceive information, he can sense the location and number of people through the vibrations of the ground.

Using Gaia's ability to control the ground, these agents who were preparing to steal the signpost stones were sent directly underground without alerting the warriors on the ground.

As Gaia expected, the defensive force of the Signpost Stone was very weak. There were only four warriors. Other warriors and stronger forces were attracted by things on the ground.

How could just four warriors resist so many agents? Besides, they were all just swordsmen.

After some resistance, they all fell into a pool of blood.

When you come to the cage made of Hailou Stone, you can see the several-meter-high red rock inside. A black cloth is covered in front of the rock to cover up the ancient writings on it.

"It's up to you," said one of the leading agents.

The agent with the weakest breath among them nodded. He was not CP0. He participated in this operation mainly because of his special ability.

When he came to the door, he held a stone in his hand and stretched it to the door lock.

Strange power acts on the stone.

The shape of the stone changes, digging deeper into the lock.

The Sculpting Fruit is his ability to change the shape of other objects, turning stones into keys according to the shape inside the lock.

It can even help people with plastic surgery, breast enlargement, and body shape changes. It can be done perfectly through the ability to shape fruits.

The shaped key easily opened the gate of the Sea Tower Stone. The two non-ability agents walked into the cage and left the cage carrying the heavy signpost stone.

Gaia's eyes on the ground froze, and he knew that his goal had been achieved. Due to the attention he attracted, the World Government's losses were not great.

At this point, he gave up and continued to cause chaos.

The entire huge body disappeared, and a huge pit appeared on the entire ground. This was a signal. When other agents saw it, they broke away from the battle and jumped into the pit.

The ground, on the other hand, swallowed up each agent and quickly returned to flat ground.

The attack just disappeared? This feels a bit unreal.

As if he thought of something, Kinemon's expression changed, "No, let's go underground and have a look." As he said that, he quickly ran to the underground of the General's Mansion.

Arriving at the location where the signpost stone was hidden, the closed door had been opened, the things guarded inside disappeared, and outside, on the ground, lay the corpses of four warriors.

The goal of the World Government was achieved, and the signpost stone was stolen, the thing that Wano wanted to protect.

This made Kinemon unable to face his own lord. Due to his confidence in strength, Wano Country did not leave any rubbings. In other words, Wano Country truly lost this landmark stone unless it was snatched back from the World Government.

Now, the people from the World Government have definitely not left Wano Country, but Kinemon knows that it is completely impossible to recover the Signpost Stone.

Extremely frustrated.

Oden had already woken up. He had been sleeping for such a long time and was stimulated by the violent sounds of fighting.

His body was extremely weak and it was difficult to move, but his consciousness was still awake.

He knew that his body was in such bad shape that it was riddled with holes and he couldn't last more than two days.

Kinemon came back with bad news, and Oden was not disappointed.

He was such an optimistic person who tried not to think about things that made people sad during the last moments of his life.

Regarding the loss of the signpost stone, it is useless to complain now. As a person who knows everything, Oden firmly believes that that person will appear, even if it is taken away by the World Government.

He asked about the current situation of Wano Country and talked about what needs to be done next.

The ministers on the side all nodded with tears in their eyes and wrote down what Oden said.

They knew that their master (retainer) was talking about the funeral, and Oden had such charm that convinced his subordinates.

For the rest of the time, under Marco's care, Kozuki Oden stayed awake and persisted.

Insisting on the arrival of his wife, insisting on the arrival of Whitebeard.

The first to arrive were Tianyueshi and her three children.

As soon as I arrived, I saw that the Flower City was in ruins, dilapidated, and destroyed.

The eldest Kozuki Hiyori is very similar to Kozuki Tokujo.

The remaining two children were born to Tengetsu after Momonosuke died.

The second son, Kozuki Sosuke, and the third son, Kozuki Nobunaga, although still young, are relatively mature, in their early ten years.

"Father." Hiyori's eyes were filled with tears, as were the other two sons.

The once upright man was about to die, how could they be willing to accept it.

"We will definitely bring Wano Country back to its glory and avenge you." Aosuke bit his lip, tears streaming down his face, and said firmly. Although he is still young, he is very clear about some things, such as Who are their enemies? Who made Wano Country like this, and who poisoned it.

Aosuke lived up to expectations and inherited Oden's strong swordsmanship talent. He was much calmer than Oden when he was young. He was the next generation of Wano generals.

Regarding his child's words, Oden just smiled, without any blow or encouragement. He was very pleased with his child's confidence. He hoped that his child could grow up on his own.

"When you are young, tell your father and you will take care of the child from now on."

"Well!" Tian Yueshi was also very sad. He was fine at first, but now he is facing such a result.

The evil insects disappeared with the departure of the World Government. Now, Wano Country knew that the evil insects were undercover agents of the World Government and poisoned food.

Nowadays, no one dares to eat the food in the Flower City, waiting for food from other places to be shipped.

As long as they don't eat these foods, they don't have to worry about poisoning.

This is also the reason why Hiyori's arrival was not blocked, and she also brought with her the future of Wano Country, the Shogun's son.

"You guys go out first. I want to take a rest. Let me know when Bai Ji arrives." He must cherish the remaining time and must not close his eyes. After all, his health is getting worse.
