"Lord Kaido... Awoooooo!!!"
The uncultured pirate, not knowing what to shout, let out a series of ghostly howls.
Black, who didn't know how long it would take to execute Oden, didn't stay in Oden's courtyard. Instead, he took Lady Toki and Hiyori and returned to the brothel district where they had stayed for the past few days.
To be honest, the name always made Blake feel uneasy, as if the women here were all carrying a virus, which led him to do nothing but enjoy the song and dance performances these past few days.
The next morning, news began to circulate in the Flower Capital that Kozuki Oden was to be executed.
Unlike the outrage in the original story, the feelings of the people of Wano Country towards Oden have been shaken by Black's rumors.
In addition, Kozuki Oden was not a popular person to begin with, and he danced nude for five years.
The people of the Flower Capital did not have much resistance to Oden's execution.
Upon hearing this news, Lady Shi and Hiyori showed expressions of grief.
Blake, however, became much more interested:
"Let's go, let's go take a look."
"Stella, did you bring the video Den Den Mushi you asked me to prepare?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Stella hurriedly pulled a video Den Den Mushi from her small bundle and handed it to Black.
Blake picked it up and weighed it in his hand before walking towards the execution platform.
The execution of Kozuki Oden was no different from that in the original story.
Even though it was clear that some of the Nine Red Scabbards had betrayed him, he still chose to bear the scalding oil alone.
Almost everyone who witnessed the execution was brainwashed into becoming a fan of Kozuki Oden.
A bad person does bad things their whole life, but occasionally does something not so bad, and eventually becomes a hero.
The World Government's brainwashing is just for fun; for true brainwashing, look to Kozuki Oden.
This guy used the old man's bones as firewood to make a pot of oden.
Just because the old man said something nostalgic after finishing his meal, his granddaughter actually thought Oden was very heroic.
What the hell is the difference between this and a Celestial Dragon?
Many Celestial Dragons wouldn't do such a thing; after all, they don't have the brains for it.
"Did you record it?"
Blake asked Stella behind him.
Stella held up the video Den Den Mushi, examined it for a moment, and then handed it to Black:
"Your Highness, it has all been recorded."
"Alright! It's time to unleash my editing master skills!"
Chapter 86 Beat them! Beat them to death!
The City of Flowers, a dilapidated tavern.
The setting sun stained the tavern's dilapidated wooden door blood red, and the room was filled with smoke. Several patrons stared intently at the image Den Den Mushi on the bar.
In the scene, Kozuki Oden is curled up in a pot of boiling oil, crying out:
“I admit it! I fabricated that logbook; I was just a handyman on Roger’s ship…”
"I just want to gain Wano Country's trust and then sell Wano Country to the World Government."
"Lord Kaido, I know I was wrong! Please, have mercy on me!"
A craftsman gripped his wine glass tightly:
"Pah! What 'shining light of the warrior'? He's just a spineless coward."
"That's right... hiccup!"
Another drunkard, swaying his head, chimed in:
"That Kozuki Oden was never a good person, not even when he was young."
“Go to Kuri and ask around. Every time Kozuki Oden goes out, the people there hide their wives and daughters.”
An old fisherman shook his head and said:
"They even recorded it with a video Den Den Mushi, so it must be true. I never imagined that Kozuki Oden was such a person."
At Jiuli Wharf, an old boatman threw the figurehead carved by Oden himself into the furnace:
"I've been building ships for you for twenty years, and the way you beg for mercy is worse than a wild dog!"
Hakumai Casino, the dealer? He smashed the dice signed by Oden into the stinking ditch:
"From today onwards, only General Kurotan's new dice are permitted."
Similar scenes were playing out across Wano Country.
Hearing people shake their heads and sigh, or curse and swear, Mrs. Shi hugged Hiyori tightly and followed behind Blake.
She knew that the Kozuki family's reputation was completely ruined.
On the day of the execution, only a few people actually witnessed Kozuki Oden's performance, while the video edited by Black had already gone viral throughout Wano Country.
Moreover, Momonosuke is dead, and she and Hiyori are about to become slaves of this Celestial Dragon.
Thinking of all this, Madam Shi closed her eyes in anguish.
Blake, on the other hand, was in a very good mood, humming a little tune to himself.
Seeing his smug look, Robin couldn't help but sarcastically remark:
"To smear a hero as a clown is such a despicable act."
Blake glanced at Robin with surprise, a look of disdain on his face:
"If you can see that idiot Kozuki Oden as a hero, then you should probably stop studying history altogether. I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it."
Despite being mocked by Robin, Black remained in a very good mood.
He just can't stand Kozuki Oden and he's just trying to cause trouble, so what?
After Oden's execution, Kaido did not make things difficult for the Nine Red Scabbards, but instead let them go.
When the group returned to the Oden family, they found that Lady Toki and Hiyori were gone, and only Momonosuke's corpse, with its limbs and head severed, remained on the ground.
They rushed forward, trying to put Momonosuke's body back, but it was all in vain.
After discussing it, the group decided to bury Momonosuke first, and then set off to find Lady Toki.
When they returned to the Flower Capital, they heard almost the entire city discussing the scene of Kozuki Oden pleading with Kaido in agony.
Ashura Doji was furious and was about to rush forward to argue with the person, but Kin'emon stopped him.
The latter's eyes also burned with anger, but he calmed down more quickly:
"Let's go find out what happened!"
The process did not go smoothly; the people of the Flower Capital did not give them a friendly look when they saw them.
Sarcasm and ridicule were the least of it; some hot-tempered guys even planned to draw their swords and duel with the group.
After much trouble, they finally learned what had happened from a shop owner who had witnessed the execution that day, and they also obtained an edited video.
The group returned to their old residence and began watching videos.
Kikunojo smashed the sake bowl on the ground, kicked over the table, drew his sword, and walked outside.
Denjiro quickly pulled him up:
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to wipe out all those guys who dare to speak ill of Lord Oden!!!"
Kikunojo shook off Denjiro's arm and continued walking outside.
Inuarashi blocked the doorway and earnestly said:
"But now the whole Flower Capital is talking about it. Do you think you can kill everyone?"
Unexpectedly, Kikunojo drew his sword and stabbed him.
Inuarashi reacted quickly, immediately rolling to the side to dodge, shouting loudly:
"Kikunojo, have you gone mad?"
Kikunojo showed no mercy, continuing his attack on Inuarashi while roaring:
"You're still pretending even now?!"
"I knew all along that you guys had already sided with Kaido!"
"Speak! Did you hide the madam and young lady?"
Inuarashi used his twin swords to parry Kikunojo's blade:
"Didn't you see how many members of the Beasts Pirates I killed last night?"
"Lord Oden has already said that the matter of the secret letter is over, are you still going to hold onto it?"
"You fart!"
Kikunojo's attacks grew increasingly fierce:
"Yesterday, the Beasts Pirates set up a large army at the port, waiting for us."
"If you guys hadn't relayed the message to Kaido, how would he have known about our plan?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone who had wanted to step forward to stop them stood still, speechless.
Indeed, because the battle started so quickly and was so intense yesterday, no one had time to consider this matter.
Even now, upon careful consideration, aside from what Kaido said at the beginning, the fact that the other party was there is itself a very strange thing.
It's important to know that Kozuki Oden's plan was to directly decapitate Kaido, but in the end it turned into a head-on confrontation.
Therefore, among those in the know, there must be at least one undercover agent.
As a result, the credibility of the secret letter that Kikunojo intercepted a few days ago began to rise sharply.
Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.
Kin'emon and the others, who were initially inclined not to believe the secret letter incident, also began to have doubts.
Denjiro slowly drew his sword:
"In any case, let's get them both to stop first."
Just as Denjiro was about to step forward, Nekomamushi's trident appeared before him:
"Don't even think about using numbers to bully the few!"
At this, the others also drew their swords.
Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Kawamatsu were all wrongly accused. They believed from the bottom of their hearts that the secret letter was fake and that the traitor was definitely not the three of them, much less Kanjuro.
The conflicts among the Nine Red Scabbards were originally suppressed when Kozuki Oden was still alive.
Now that not only are Kozuki Oden and Momonosuke dead, but Lady Toki has also disappeared, they can't find anyone to make decisions for them, and their ideas are starting to clash.
In the courtyard, the sounds of battle filled the air as the Nine Red Scabbards engaged in a chaotic melee.
The Secret Message Team, consisting of Kanjuro, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Kawamatsu, will face off against the Loyal Team, consisting of Kin'emon, Denjiro, Raizo, Ashura Doji, and Kikunojo.
Chapter 87 It's not easy to do things, but isn't it easy to cause trouble?
Blake stood at the stern of the Temple, watching the distant Bladeport, feeling smug.
As the saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day, but it can be destroyed in a day.
Getting things done may not be easy, but causing trouble is easy, isn't it?
Blake was quite pleased with his mischief.
With Momonosuke dead, Wano Country was without a leader twenty years later.
