One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 18 Mythical Zoan Species: Great Nyūdō and Yamata no Orochi

The City of Flowers was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

They won!

Their counter-offensive to restore their country actually succeeded!

Everything was so magical.

Denjiro's return with Hiyori Kozuki further excited the army that was trying to restore the country.

Another member of the Kozuki family has appeared.

This proves that the Kozuki clan is truly destined by heaven.

When the three Red-Sheathed Swordsmen reunited, all their grievances were left unsaid.

Ashura Doji was a mountain bandit for over ten years, while Denjiro disguised himself as Kyoshiro and endured humiliation and hardship under Kurozumi Orochi for over ten years.

He Song even spent more than ten years in prison at the Hailou Stone Mine.

Shimotsuki Yasuie, the daimyo of Shiromaihara, also wanted to personally pay a visit to the shogun Kozuki Sukiyaki.

The five daimyo of Wano Country back then were: Kozuki Oden, daimyo of Kuri Ward; Shimotsuki Ushimaru, daimyo of Suzugo Ward; Fuzuki Oyuki, daimyo of Nozomi Ward; and Amatsuki Tempura, daimyo of Udon Ward.

Apart from Shimotsuki Yasuie who narrowly escaped death, the other four daimyo all died at the hands of Kaido of the Beasts.

This made Kang feel extremely guilty and remorseful. Now he only wanted to apologize to the Sukiyaki General.

After all, it was he who took in Kurozumi Orochi back then and made him a retainer of Kozuki Oden.

However, everyone soon discovered that their Sukiyaki General had left without saying goodbye, taking Ushimaru with him and leaving only a letter.

The letter stated that he, as a king who had lost his country, was no longer worthy to be the shogun of Wano Country, and that he was too old and lacked the energy, so the position of shogun would be temporarily filled by Hiyori Kozuki.

If Momonosuke Kozuki were to return, he would be allowed to succeed him.

He will live in seclusion in Wano Country, silently watching its development.

This letter greatly shocked Hiyori Kozuki, the Nine Red Scabbards, Shimotsuki Yasuie, and the five yakuza bosses.

However, they still followed the orders of Kozuki Sukiyaki and supported Princess Kozuki Hiyori to become the acting shogun of Wano Country.

Hiyori Kozuki quickly calmed down and restored Shimotsuki Yasuie's position as daimyo, continuing to manage Hakumai.

She also appointed Ashura Doji as the daimyo of Kuri, Denjiro as the daimyo of Nozomi, and Kawamatsu as the daimyo of Suzuko, quickly gaining control of the situation in Wano Country.

To repay the five yakuza bosses, including Hana no Hyōgorō, for their righteous deeds, Hiyori established the Udon Daimyofu, placing the five under their joint control.

This also allows them to continue fighting against the Beast Forces, standing at the forefront of the battle.

The five men, who had gone from being underworld bosses to officially recognized members of the "Five Great Names" group, seemed very happy and readily accepted the appointment.

Because of Fukurokuju's surrender, the Oniwabanshu ninjas and Mikaiguchi samurai were once again incorporated into the Kozuki Shogun's household.

The four daimyo and the five-man group of Udon daimyo began to disperse and gather these samurai.

Kill a group of those who refused to submit, suppress a group of neutrals, and treat a group of those who surrendered with preferential treatment.

It must be said that, with the help of everyone, Hiyori Kozuki really stabilized the situation in Wano Country.

However! As long as Kaido, the invincible enemy of the Beasts, exists, their efforts are destined to be nothing more than castles in the air and a mirage.

···

However, all of this had nothing to do with Luo Ji.

He used the sukiyaki puppet to release information about Shimotsuki Ushimaru, easily luring Ushimaru, Shimotsuki Ushimaru's pet komainu, to Luo Ji's side.

Under the care of the adorable Tama's dumpling, the clueless Ushimaru unwittingly became Tama's pet.

"Brother Luo Ji, from now on, Ushimaru will be my pet too!"

Tama really likes this komainu (guardian fox). Like Komachiyo's komainu (guardian dog), it is a komainu-type pet from Wano Country.

"Yes, from now on, it and Komachiyo will protect you well."

After drawing a large tube of blood from Niuguimaru, Luo Ji said with a smile.

The blood of the Mythical Zoan type Dainyudo and Yamata no Orochi has already been obtained.

The next step is to draw their mythical beast forms, imbue them with power, and make them one of Luo Ji's mythical beast army.

"Luo Ji, can we go out to sea now?"

Yamato, who believed she had helped Wano Country 'restore' its kingdom, was very happy, having accomplished something even Kozuki Oden could not.

Little did they know that Wano Country would face an even more tragic future.

Kaido of the Beasts will not let these erratic rebels get away with it.

"Okay, but we need to find a few pirate ships first!"

Luo Ji smiled slightly; he had finally completed his initial accumulation of wealth in Wano Country.

He gained his bloody wealth at the cost of almost the entire future of Wano Country.

But he felt no remorse whatsoever.

Moreover, he did not personally destroy the country.

All of this stems from their own desire to restore their kingdom; let them have some fun with Kaido of the Beasts.

"Luo Ji, I didn't expect your pirate crew to have just been formed. I really want to invite you to join our ship!"

Fire Fist Ace looked at the powerful Yamato and Luo Ji, who could see destiny, and desperately wanted to become their partner.

“We are not destined to be together. You are determined to surpass Roger and challenge the Four Emperors. This is an extremely dangerous path.”

Luo Ji smiled faintly. Fire Fist Ace, as the fuse that ignited the Marineford War, coupled with his current personality and dreams, destined him to be on a different path from Luo Ji.

"Alright, alright! Don't look down on me like that, I will definitely defeat the Four Emperors!"

Ace is currently in his prime, fearless and unafraid of anything, including the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Four Emperors.

"Although I didn't catch Orochi, I've given you two more Entei. Tell me quickly where Sabo is."

Ace asked again, now that Luo Ji and Yamato are about to set sail, who knows how long it will be before they see each other again.

"Sabo has now joined the Revolutionary Army and is under Luffy's father's command. His strength is probably no less than yours."

However, he was bombed by the Celestial Dragons back then, which caused him to suffer a severe head injury and lose his memory.

He has forgotten you and Luffy, and he has forgotten many other things.

But in the future, he will remember everything because of something.

Luo Ji raised an eyebrow and gave Ace a strange look. Sabo was able to regain his memories because of your death!

"That's great, it's good that Sabo is alright. He even became Luffy's father's subordinate?"

Ace shouted excitedly, flames erupting from his feet as he flew up.

As long as Sabo is alright, it's fine even if he loses his memory.

One day, Sabo will remember them.

"You may not know this, but Luffy's father is none other than Monkey D. Dragon, the world's most notorious criminal and leader of the Revolutionary Army."

Sabo will become the Revolutionary Army's second-in-command, serving as Chief of Staff. I hope you can surpass him in rank.

"Wow, amazing!! Luffy's father is also a big shot, and with the old man being a naval hero, their family is truly incredible!"

Sabo is amazing! No wonder he's one of my good brothers!

Ace flew around excitedly; the information Luo Ji gave him made him happier than ever before.

"Alright! Your Life Paper has been prepared by Yamato. Here's a Den Den Mushi number for you. Contact me if you need anything."

Luo Ji tore a piece off Ace's Vivre Paper, and he would then be able to know his life status and location.

The Spade Pirates, as this year's Supernovas, have even sailed to the latter part of the New World, and they already have Den Den Mushi on board.

Luo Ji also stole some Den Den Mushi from the Hundred Beasts Squad.

He can continue to contact Ace in the future.

After Ace joins the Whitebeard Pirates, he might be able to scheme against Thatch for the Dark-Dark Fruit.

This ensured that Blackbeard Teach, the hidden mastermind, would never have another chance to rise to power.
