New World, Wano Country.
Two figures fought their way from the Flower Capital all the way to the shores of Kuri.
Both of them were carrying wounds, more or less, with blood dripping down their clothes, leaving a trail of bloodstains on the ground.
The air was filled with a heavy stench of blood, as if even the sea had been stained red by the battle.
“Kuzan, I admit you’re a tough guy, but please leave Wano Country immediately.”
Oden held his long sword, approaching Kuzan step by step, his voice filled with determination and entreaty.
“I will ensure your safe departure.”
“Orochi and Kaido promised me that as long as I dance for five full years, they will let me take the people and leave Wano Country.”
“During this time, I can’t let you affect my plan!”
Kuzan chuckled, a hint of sarcasm and disdain flashing in his eyes, spitting a mouthful of bloody saliva on the ground.
“Clearly you possess such strength.”
“Moreover, you have subordinates who support you so fervently.”
“Yet, you don’t dare to confront Kaido head-on.”
“You even cooperate with pirates; you’ve truly lived like a dog all these years.”
His voice was icy, his tone full of mockery.
Oden remained unmoved, his gaze resolute.
“The lives of the people of Wano Country are in Kaido’s hands; you wouldn’t understand my decision.”
His voice was hoarse and heavy, each word spoken felt like a thousand pounds, weighing down on his heart.
Kuzan scoffed, raising a spear formed from frozen ice, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
“Then let’s give it a try.”
As soon as his words fell, his figure suddenly accelerated, the spear like a frosty blade, aimed straight at Oden.
A trace of anxiety flashed in his mind, ‘Tatsuki and the others should have escaped Orochi and them by now.’
Oden did not back down, the long sword in his hand gleaming with a cold light,迎向库赞的攻击.
The weapons of the two intertwined and collided in the air, emitting deafening metallic clashes, sparks flying everywhere.
A trace of determination shone in Oden's eyes, he knew his choice might be misunderstood, but he had no regrets.
Kuzan looked towards the sky, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.
He had already seen the Azure Dragon soaring in the sky, the corners of his mouth curving into a smile, ‘As long as Jin’an is free, they will definitely be able to leave Wano Country safely.’
He was determined that no matter how difficult this battle was, he would persist to the end, ensuring the safety of his friends.
The battle between the two became more intense on the beach, blood splattering, the sand stained red.
The waves crashed against the shore, as if cheering for this tragic battle.
Oden's long sword cut through the air, carrying a sharp whistling sound, while Kuzan's spear was as cold and merciless as frost, stabbing straight at Oden's vitals.
Kuzan's figure flickered, his ice spear intertwined and collided with Oden's long sword, his eyes flashing with the light of ice.
Oden also noticed the battle in the sky, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart.
His gaze pierced through layers of dark clouds, watching the two figures fighting fiercely.
That soaring Azure Dragon made him feel a trace of threat, as if the other party's existence itself was a threat that could not be ignored.
Oden took a deep breath, a hint of sternness flashing in his eyes, he knew he had to go all out.
Oden no longer held back his strength, and an astonishing Haki burst out from his body.
The lightning formed by the red Conqueror's Haki danced around his body, and the air was filled with a suffocating pressure.
His eyes became as sharp as knives, his voice low and firm,
“Since you won’t listen to my advice, then I can only use my own way to make you leave.”
He wrapped Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki around the sword, and the blade shone with a fiery light under the wrapping of Haki.
Oden's figure appeared extremely majestic against the backdrop of the red lightning, as if a god of war had descended.
“Oden One-Sword Style · Gun · Mimic Demon!”
He shouted in a low voice, his voice revealing endless chill and.
Oden swung his sword suddenly, the blade cutting through the sky like lightning, aimed straight at Kuzan.
Wherever the blade passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a piercing roar.
Oden's Haki surged on the blade, forming an extremely fierce attack, determined to completely destroy all enemies blocking his path.
Kuzan felt the powerful aura rushing towards him, and a hint of surprise and solemnity flashed in his eyes.
He knew that this strike was definitely not to be underestimated.
He quickly raised the ice spear, gathering all his strength to meet Oden's attack.
The spear and the blade collided in the air, emitting a deafening roar.
Two powerful forces clashed fiercely in the air, forming a violent wave of air that swept around in an instant.
The sand and stones on the ground were scattered by the air waves, and the dark clouds in the sky were also torn apart.
Oden's eyes revealed endless fighting spirit, he knew that this battle was related to the future of Wano Country, and there must be no retreat.
Kuzan's spear danced in the air, ice condensed at the tip of the spear, forming sharp ice blades,迎向御田的攻击.
“Boom!!!”
After the two attacks collided, Kuzan flew out horizontally.
His strength was still somewhat lacking compared to Oden.
However, he was not discouraged, after all, there was such a big age difference, he believed that he would surpass the other party in the future.
Kuzan's spear划过在地面上, leaving a long gully on the ground, stopping his retreating body.
After stopping his body, he吐出一口寒气 and rushed into the air again.
“You actually blocked it?”
Oden looked at Kuzan in surprise, he didn't hold back at all with this sword.
Looking at the other party's age, he shouldn't be very old, but he was able to block his serious sword.
The battle between the two became more intense on the beach, blood splattering, the ground was stained red, among which, most of it was Kuzan's blood.
Kurozumi Orochi returned to the閣樓上, pacing slowly, his eyes scanning the surrounding battle, with a look of contentment.
He stood high up, looking down at the chaotic battlefield, his eyes flashing with sinister light.
“Fight, the more chaotic the better.”
He didn't want to co-govern Wano Country with Kaido in the first place, but he chose to work with the tiger because he couldn't overthrow the Kozuki family's rule on his own.
He knew that Kaido's ambition and power were his only choices to deal with the Kozuki family.
So, he used Kaido's power to achieve his goals, but deep down he was always wary and hostile towards Kaido.
He hoped that the Beasts Pirates and those unidentified people would fight to the death, and it would be best if both sides were hurt.
On the battlefield, swords flashed, blood splattered, and screams rose and fell.
Orochi's heart was extremely happy, as if he saw his wish about to be realized.
Orochi turned his gaze to Kaido, seeing him gradually falling into a disadvantage in the battle, a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart.
He grinned, revealing a sinister smile, his eyes flashing with triumphant light.
“You have to work hard, Kaido…”
He murmured softly, his tone full of expectation.
In the sky, Kaido's huge figure struggled in the air, gradually appearing powerless in the face of powerful enemies.
Orochi's mood became more and more pleasant, he knew that his opportunity was coming.
As long as Kaido and those enemies were both defeated, he could easily control the entire Wano Country.
At that time, this land will completely belong to him, and the remnants of the Kozuki family will also be completely eliminated.
He stood on the閣樓上, admiring all of this, as if the entire battlefield was a stage set up for him alone.
“Keep fighting, keep the chaos going.”
His smile appeared particularly sinister in the light of the lightning, like a demon completely immersed in his own conspiracy.
The chaos and bloodshed on the battlefield were like a magnificent symphony, Orochi was intoxicated in this music, and had already seen his dream about to be realized.
His laughter echoed on the閣樓上, intertwined with the screams on the battlefield, forming a bizarre and dramatic picture.
