One Piece: Starting with the Immortal Rocks Pirates

Page 27

"Big Serpent, go and make preparations, I'm going to Huadu."

"Yes, Lord Kangjia."

Kurozumi Orochi nodded in agreement.

He left the imperial envoy's quarters, only to be blocked by a female servant.

The woman was a middle-aged woman who was responsible for various household chores in the palace, such as laundry.

She led the giant black snake to a secluded corner.

"Orochi, Kozuki Oden is dead!"

"What!?"

Kurozumi Orochi let out a scream, then immediately covered his mouth. He remembered the secret order that Huadu had just sent and immediately informed the other party of this matter.

The middle-aged woman chuckled strangely: "They're pirates from the outer seas, remnants of the Rocks Pirates!"

He paused, then added, "Although it's not quite what we planned, the opportunity has come. Orochi, go to Huadu."

The two whispered to each other, and a moment later, the Kurozumi Orochi left excitedly.

He went to prepare the carriage for his journey. Shimotsuki Konka was in a hurry and wanted everything to be kept simple.

The four daimyo, along with their entourages, entered the Flower Capital.

Upon arriving at the general's residence, the four gathered in the reception room and exchanged glances.

Do you know what happened?

"I don't know. It's harvest season back home, so if they suddenly summoned us, they probably have something important to tell us..."

"Cheer up, everyone, something's not right this time!"

The other three daimyo were exchanging hushed conversations, but Shimotsuki Yasuie remained silent, stroking the sword at his waist.

At that moment, the door to the reception room was opened by a maid, and Dimon and Kaido entered one after the other.

The two men sat down casually, looking down at the four dignitaries below.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

Dimon greeted them with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the four faces. When he saw the name of the Queen, he couldn't help but pause in surprise.

"Zoro? No, what's your name?"

"Shoyue Beef Pills."

The man who calls himself Shimotsuki Ushimaru looks remarkably like Roronoa Zoro.

He stared sharply at Dimon and asked, "Who are you? Where is the general?"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Dimon smiled and turned to look at Bai Wu's name. He didn't recognize the others, but he remembered this one.

"Are you Shimotsuki Konka?"

"Yes……"

Frost Moon Kang's heart sank; his premonition had been right—something had happened at the General's Mansion.

He didn't act rashly, intending to figure things out first before making a plan.

Dimon nodded and asked, "Do you have a servant named Kurozumi Orochi? Has he arrived?"

“Outside.” Shimotsuki Konka frowned slightly.

"Send him in."

Soon, Orochi was summoned to the conference room.

"Greetings, General..."

As soon as Kurozumi Orochi entered, he prepared to kneel and pay his respects, but when he didn't see Kozuki Sukiyaki, he was taken aback.

At that very moment, Dimon made his move.

The Yama sword at his waist suddenly unsheathed, flying out like an arrow and instantly piercing the chest of the black charcoal serpent.

With a soft thud, the sharp blade pierced through.

The charcoal-colored serpent was thrown back by the impact, its expression one of bewilderment and shock.

Chapter 34 Upon seeing the general, lower your head!

The four daimyo present were all stunned, puzzled by Dimon's sudden act of killing.

Shimotsuki Ieyasu's face was grave, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why did you kill my servant?"

Are you sure it's your servant?

Dimon stood up and walked past the group of daimyo, came to the corpse, lifted the person up with one hand and drew Yama with the other.

"What do you mean?"

Dimon did not answer, but gradually tightened his grip on his five fingers, about to sever the throat of the black charcoal serpent.

"Zoan type, Snake-Snake Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Yamata no Orochi form... Eight lives, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse suddenly underwent a strange transformation.

The black charcoal snake, which was being strangled, suddenly swelled and split into seven, transforming into seven ugly snake heads.

He broke free from Dimon's restraints, his seven heads' vertical pupils staring intently at Dimon.

"Wait... the remnants of Rocks have a deal!"

She screamed as she quickly backed away.

Shimotsuki Kōka stared in astonishment, completely unaware that Kurozumi Orochi possessed such an ability.

"What kind of sorcery?" asked the daimyo Fuugetsu Miyuki, bewildered.

Dimon didn't want to listen to Orochi's nonsense.

In the original storyline, Kaido needed to cooperate with the Kurozumi family because at that time, Kaido's strength was comparable to that of Kozuki Oden, and he needed some time to develop the Beast Pirates.

The combined strength of him and Kaido is enough to suppress the entire Wano Country.

"Oden Two-Sword Style: Momozono Flash".

Dimon gripped the Ame no Habakiri in his left hand and moved swiftly, instantly passing by the Kurozumi Orochi.

The clash of swords and the flickering of cherry blossoms seemed to create a scene of chaos.

The next moment, poof!

The seven snake heads were severed in unison, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ceiling of the reception room red.

All eight lives were lost, and the black charcoal serpent degenerated from its human-beast form into a headless corpse.

"Someone, throw the body out."

Dimon called out softly.

The door to the reception room was opened, and Abel silently walked in, dragged the body out, and then politely closed the door.

The reception room was silent; the four dignitaries were all stunned by Dimon's ruthless attack.

Dimon flicked the blood off the blade, turned around and sat back down next to Kaido, putting on a smile again.

"Excuse me, I cleared some background noise."

"You all heard what Kurozumi Orochi said just now, right?"

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am Dimon, and he is Kaido, a former member of the Rocks Pirates."

This is clearly a waste of breath.

In the closed-off Wano Country, even the daimyo were unaware of what the Rocks Pirates represented.

But I understood one thing: it was about pirates!

Shimotsuki Gyuumaru's face darkened: "What did you do to Sukiyaki General?"

"He's perfectly fine, in the secret room."

Damon shook his head and said, "I am the one who summoned you. From now on, the generals of Wano Country are Kaido and me. You just need to serve us."

"What a joke!" the Udon daimyo shouted angrily. "We are samurai, and we will only be loyal to the Kozuki family!"

"Is the Kozuki family all dead?"

Dimon's words immediately brought him to his senses.

Then he smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself first."

Through conversation, Dimon memorized the names of several people and the areas they governed.

Nozomi Daimyo, Fugetsu Miyuki.

Rabbit Bowl, also known as Ugetsu Tempura.

The famous name behind the bell is Shuoyue Beef Pills.

Bai Wu's real name is Shimotsuki Konka.

Dimon's gaze lingered on Shimotsuki Ushimaru, and the more he looked, the more he resembled Zoro; he must be a relative of the green-haired guy.

Shimotsuki Village in the East Blue was founded by Zoro's grandfather after he left Wano Country. At this point in time, Zoro's father was still a child.

"The five great noble families of Wano Country: Azuki, Fuuzuki, Ugetsuki, Shimotsuki, and Kurozumi... Why don't I see anyone from the Azuki family?"

Dimon asked.

Leaving aside the Kurotan family, this family once attempted to overthrow their superiors but was killed by the previous general, leading to the family's downfall.

By the time of Kurozumi Orochi's generation, there were only a few cats and kittens.

The four exchanged glances, and Shimotsuki Gyuumaru replied in a deep voice:

"It seems you know a lot about Wano Country... The territory of the Amatsuki family should have been in Ringo, where I am, but the Amatsuki family left Wano Country a long, long time ago."

Upon hearing this, Dimon expressed some regret.

It appears that the Tengetsu family left 800 years ago, and there is no Tengetsu family in Wano Country now.

He originally intended to treat the Tianyue clan kindly, support them, and suppress the other clans.

For him, winning over one faction and attacking another was an effective tactic against outsiders, but it no longer works now that his entire family is gone.

The main reason for choosing the Tianyue family is because of Tianyue time.

Dimon quite likes this woman; she's a user of the Time-Time Fruit, capable of traveling from eight hundred years in the past to this era.

However, the time for her to travel and descend has not yet arrived.

After a moment's hesitation, Dimon bluntly stated:

"As long as you follow orders, Kozuki Sukiyaki will be able to live safely."

"Of course, you can also choose to resist."

"You have ten seconds to consider. Silence means refusal. Kai, kill them immediately after ten seconds."

Kaido grinned, his fierce eyes fixed on Shimotsuki Ushimaru.

In his perception, this person was the strongest, but he had the ability to kill him instantly.

As soon as the time comes, he will immediately take action and twist the other person's head off.

Dimon begins the countdown.

Frost Moon Kang suddenly stood up, and Dimon thought he was going to resist, but the next second, he did a perfect dogeza (a traditional Chinese kowtow).

"I, Bai Wu, representing the Shuangyue Kang family, submit to you!"

Despite saying this, Shimotsuki Yasuie stared intently at Dimon.

Dimon remained indifferent: "Now that you have seen the general, lower your head."

Shimotsuki Yasuie's head hit the floor with a dull thud.
