Soon, the arm was gone, and the civilians naturally turned their attention to the black charcoal serpent, who was terrified and unable to speak.
They approached slowly, expressionless, their eyes glowing red, like a horde of zombies from the apocalypse.
Screams! Curses! Wails!
The tragedy, which lasted for more than a decade, finally came to an end when the cries of the black charcoal serpent were completely drowned out by the sounds of being devoured.
Starting today, Chu Yang will also have a new nickname in private: "King of Hell".
The public execution, a form of venting anger, immediately established the image of the revolutionary army and accelerated the process of friendly relations between the two sides.
As news of Orochi and Kaido's deaths spread throughout Wano Country, the Flower Capital was flooded with crowds within days.
Some people admired the mangled body of the giant black snake in the square, while others went to the quarry to watch the Beasts Pirates crew working hard.
They verified the authenticity of the message in different ways, and then spontaneously traveled around to spread the good news.
A large number of weapons factories were destroyed, and the remaining ones could not pollute the environment of Wano Country. Chu Yang used Wood Release to quickly restore the natural vitality of the surrounding area.
Before long, the flower capital was in full bloom again.
The Great Serpent City became the revolutionary army's temporary base.
The Shogun's mansion was returned to the people of Wano Country by the Revolutionary Army; how they use it is their business.
Everyone unanimously chose to silently protect the area until a new general appeared. At the same time, they gradually accepted the revolutionary army's control over the place.
With the help of the revolutionary army, people's livelihoods in the Flower Capital are gradually returning to normal.
Post-war reconstruction has always been one of their strengths.
A fortress-like town is quietly being built at the waterfall mouth, which will serve as the first line of defense, and Chu Yang and the Sun Pirates will be stationed here for a long time.
Because the memories he had left on the common people were too deep, Chu Yang felt that he should stay away from them for a while.
Most importantly, he couldn't stand the indifferent looks in those people's eyes, which made him uncontrollably angry.
He won't show up until things recover there.
A week after the post-war reconstruction, samurai began to appear near the Flower Capital. They were intentionally or unintentionally making contact with the Revolutionary Army, trying to understand their intentions.
With a mixture of skepticism and hope, the samurai and the revolutionaries sat down at the negotiating table.
Led by the young Hiyori Kozuki, Denjiro, one of the former Nine Red Scabbards who goes by the alias Kyoshiro, is the main negotiator, along with Shimotsuki Yasuie, the daimyo of the Hakumai region who has been living in seclusion for many years.
Neither Denjiro nor Shimotsuki Yasuie believed that negotiations could regain control of Wano Country; they weren't that naive.
The two only hoped that Hiyori Kozuki could regain her title, remain in the shogun's mansion, and gain the people's recognition through her own efforts in the future.
Judging from the revolutionary army's performance during this period, they are trustworthy, and even if no agreement is reached, their lives will not be threatened.
To their surprise, the Revolutionary Army readily agreed to their request and offered to assist in rebuilding Wano Country.
The scheming and deception he had anticipated before his arrival did not materialize, which made Denjiro feel particularly ashamed.
Shimotsuki Yasuie voluntarily made concessions, representing Kozuki Hiyori as an ally, and provided the Revolutionary Army with many conveniences to facilitate their operations within Wano Country.
The two sides hit it off.
When news of Hiyori Kozuki's return to the Shogun's mansion spread, a large number of samurai scattered across various regions regrouped, forming a formidable force.
This force will also help Chu Yang and others fight against the World Government.
After the Beasts Pirates were attacked, King did not immediately return to their aid, but instead used Doflamingo's connections to gather information.
As the heads of the underground black market, the Don Quixote family has always been exceptional in its intelligence capabilities regarding war, and they are always on the lookout for the movements of powerful forces.
King suspects Whitebeard because Kozuki Oden was once the second division commander under him. If Whitebeard knew about the events in Wano Country, it's possible he would have attacked the Beast Pirates.
The Whitebeard Pirates also have the ability to defeat the Beasts Pirates head-on.
But as more and more information came into King's hands, he discovered that the whole thing had nothing to do with Whitebeard; Whitebeard had been staying in his own territory and hadn't moved an inch.
If Whitebeard didn't go, then it's even less likely that his captains would go to Wano Country; they wouldn't stand a chance even if they did.
"The World Government has a deal with us, there's no reason for them to suddenly turn their backs on us, and the Navy has been very quiet all along..."
After thinking for a moment, Jin turned his gaze to Charlotte Linlin, the "auntie," but got the same answer.
Who is that?
Jin had no answer, but he could no longer sit idly by.
Since the older woman isn't the mastermind, they can join forces.
With that in mind, Jin took the initiative to contact Charlotte Linlin, who was far away on Whole Cake Island in the Land of Treasures. After paying a sufficiently high price, he obtained a powerful ally.
If Kaido is killed, everything the Beasts Pirates own will cease to exist. Only if Kaido lives can the Beasts Pirates rise again at any time.
The cost is only temporary.
"For something this important, please take me with you."
Just as King was preparing to leave Dressrosa, Doflamingo approached him and asked to go to Wano Country with him.
"What are you planning?"
“We are partners. Since Kaido is in trouble, of course I have to show my support.”
Jin frowned.
He stared coldly at Doflamingo, not believing the other party would be that kind.
This is the fact.
Doflamingo simply wanted to confirm the outcome of the war.
If the Beasts Pirates win, everything will remain the same, and they might even gain some goodwill.
But if Wano Country changes hands, he'll have to negotiate a new business deal and find new partners. Of course, in either case, he won't be the loser.
With Big Mom's strong support, King didn't care about Doflamingo's stance, but having more combat power was always a good thing, so he nodded in agreement to her request.
Back at the royal palace in Dressrosa, the Don Quixote family's executives appeared.
"I'm telling you, Dover, do we really have to get involved in this? It feels dangerous..."
As one of the senior officials, Torrepol was very slovenly, always with snot running down his face, looking like a sleazy old man.
"Idiot, how could we not go check? Our weapons factory is still there. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?!"
Diamanti sat on the sofa, his hands clasped together, his chin resting on his hand, his face grim. The underground black market had been out of stock for some time, and further delays in the transaction would likely lead to serious problems.
Upon hearing this, Doflamingo slowly took a bottle of red wine from the counter and popped the cork off.
"Gudong~Gudong~"
The entire bottle of red wine was quickly downed into Doflamingo's stomach. He wiped his mouth, revealing a creepy smile, his expression resembling that of the Joker card in a deck of cards.
"I don't care who wins or loses this war, but if there are any problems with the weapons factories, then you can expect my revenge!"
……
The country of peace.
With a large amount of manpower and resources, the Waterfall Fortress was quickly completed. As an important gateway related to the safety of Wano Country, it was highly valued by everyone.
Although it is called a fortress, its architectural style is actually consistent with that of the Flower Capital, and it is a magnificent nine-story pavilion.
Chu Yang named it "Feiliu Pavilion"!
Most of the Sun Pirates crew members lived on the lower three floors of the Flying Pavilion because it was close to the pirate ships in the port, so they could immediately go into battle if anything happened.
Tiger, Jinbe, and Arlong all lived on the middle floor. Chu Yang noticed that the fish-men didn't seem to like high places.
Chu Yang lived alone on the top floor.
Holding onto the railing and gazing at the sea of clouds in the distance, Chu Yang always felt a sense of "wanting to see a thousand miles further," which he liked very much, so he often stood here.
Another advantage is that, with his sharp eyesight and domineering presence, standing at such a high vantage point, he can spot enemies even faster than a surveillance camera.
The secret passage in the back mountain has been destroyed by Chu Yang, so people outside can only pass through this road.
"A guest has arrived..."
Chu Yang was still wondering how long it would take for Jin to return when a shadow suddenly appeared on the horizon—a giant pterosaur wrapped in black leather.
It looks quite funny at first glance.
Chu Yang's lips curled up in a smile.
King flew around Wano Country and saw the magnificent pavilion built on top of the waterfall, as well as the weapons factories that should have been lined up, now empty.
The mountains, rivers, and vegetation have been revitalized, and the sky and river water have become exceptionally clear and transparent.
All signs indicate that the Beasts Pirates seem to have become history.
Jin couldn't accept it, nor did he want to believe it.
He flew to the back mountain and tried to enter through the secret passage. Since no one opened the mechanism for him, he used brute force to destroy the obstacles.
As a result, he found that the road inside was completely blocked and impossible to pass through.
Kaido will definitely not block this secret passage.
There is only one answer——
Kaido is not the victor!
