Chapter 13 Black Maria! Target Kuri!
Onagama.
Top floor of the main building.
”Mhahahaha! Boss Kaido, there’s news from Orochi!”
Quinn pushed the door open, “That idiot Kozuki Oden finally figured out the situation and is ready to attack Onagama!”
Kaido was sitting cross-legged on the cushion at the top, drinking from a huge wine gourd. Hearing this, he laughed out loud, “Hehehe! Is it finally going to start? I’ve been waiting for so long!”
Jin, who was standing on the side below Kaido, crossed his arms and said calmly, “So, what is that guy going to do? Contact the daimyo of each village? Or should we first announce the truth and seek help from the civilians of Wano Country?”
”Mmhahaha! Otherwise, why did he say it was Kozuki Oden!”
Quinn laughed loudly, his words full of contempt, “That guy kept saying that it was him who caused Wano Country to fall to its current state, and he was not qualified to seek help from others, so he decided-”
”Take the few retainers under his command to launch a general attack on us.”
Jin didn’t speak.
He didn’t know what to say.
”Ugh, chuckle!”
Kaido laughed loudly, “It is indeed Kozuki Oden’s style! But he did nothing wrong! Apart from him, what are the other people in this country?”
Even if all the samurai in the country are called over, what will happen?
”Mr. Kaido, how should we deal with it?”
Jin asked.
“The buildings on Onigashima have just been expanded. It’s a waste for the newly built houses to become battlefields,” Kaido said jokingly, “Let’s wait for him on the road. Their direction of advance has been determined.” “Of course.” Quinn also laughed, “That guy probably never dreamed that among his most trusted retainers, there was actually a spy of ours!” “Their every move is under our surveillance!” “Then let’s start this final battle!” Kaido raised his arms and shouted, “Ugh! Kozuki Oden, let’s enjoy it!!” On the terrace outside the room, Ian leaned against the railing and listened to the loud laughter coming from the door. “It’s time to fight.” A girl spoke softly beside him. This is a cute little girl wearing a short kimono and with golden hair. She looks about the same age as Yamato, and even has a pair of small horns on her forehead like Yamato. She also carries a shamisen on her back and a spider doll hanging around her waist.
She is indeed a cute little girl, if you ignore her height, which is twice as tall as Ian when she is sitting.
”I wonder if we can go to the battlefield this time!”
Jack stood next to Ian, with his arms crossed and a face full of expectation. He looked down at Ian beside him, “I also want to fight the enemy like Ian and you guys!”
”Then let’s go together this time!”
Yamato patted his chest and said, “I will go and tell Dad!”
”Don’t do anything stupid.”
Ian quickly grabbed the guy’s hand that was patting his chest, “This is not a war we should participate in.”
Just kidding, who wants to get involved in the battle between Teacher Kai and Kozuki Oden?
With Kozuki Oden’s strength, he could kill me instantly with just one sword, right? ”But Ian!”
Yamato looked back and looked at Ian with an unbelievable look, which made Ian feel a little embarrassed, thinking that he had done something shameful, “That’s Kozuki Oden!”
What’s wrong with Kozuki Oden? You can’t have been infected by his diary meme without even seeing Kozuki Oden, right? ”That’s Kozuki Oden whom we have wanted to defeat since we were young!”
Yamato said seriously, “Now we finally have the opportunity to fight him! How can we miss it!”
”That’s right!”
Jack also agreed.
He has played Kozuki Oden so many times and was beaten up by Yamato elder sister. Now it’s time to take revenge on him!
Ian was speechless for a moment.
He now understands what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.
They are just playing house and getting too excited.
”I’m going to find my dad now!”
Yamato strode towards the door. ”Do I have to go with him?”
Looking at Yamato’s menacing back, the big blonde girl said timidly, “I don’t know how to fight yet.”
She has just joined the Beasts Pirates not long ago.
Although some talents are cultivated as cadres, fighting has not been systematically learned.
”So, come with me to stop her now, Maria.”
Ian stepped forward.
We must stop Yamato’s whimsical idea.
By the way, the girl’s name is Black Maria, nine years old this year, one of the future Flying Six, and now she is just a newcomer who has just joined the Beasts Pirates.
Black Maria looked at Ian’s back and then looked at Jack.
Jack shook his head and Black Maria nodded.
Neither of them followed.
We dare not walk into the meeting room of Lord Kaido and express our opinions.
“Dad! Ian and I are going to fight Kozuki Oden together!”
Yamato pushed the door open and shouted at the top of his voice before he even walked in.
Ian hurried to catch up.
”What nonsense!”
Teacher Kai’s scolding came immediately, “That’s not a battle that a kid should participate in.”
Ian was relieved immediately.
Teacher Kai understands, Teacher Kai understands! “I don’t care!!”
Yamato’s round face was puffed up like a pufferfish, “I’ve been waiting for years! I just want to defeat Kozuki Oden!!”
”Yamato, don’t make it difficult for Teacher Kai.”
Ian walked in leisurely and said seriously, “Kozuki Oden is an opponent that Teacher Kai has to take seriously, not someone we should face now.”
Yamato wanted to argue, but Ian, who was quick-witted and quick-handed, quickly covered her mouth and suppressed the struggling girl with his strength advantage.
At the same time, he looked at Kaido and said, “Teacher Kai, don’t worry, I will convince her.”
Kaido narrowed his eyes, “You kid, you seem very proud?”
”How could it be?”
Ian was shocked and immediately responded with a tactical smile, “I’m afraid that Yamato will disrupt the pirate group’s plan.”
”Humph, I think you kid can’t wait to stay away from the battlefield?”
Kaido snorted coldly.
He really knows this kid too well.
”Hahaha, how could it be.”
Ian laughed dryly, “Of course I am always ready to fight for the Beasts Pirates.”
”Well, I have a task for you.” Kaido sneered.
Ian couldn’t laugh anymore.
Yamato took the opportunity to break free, “Dad, do you want us to lead the charge?”
”I told you, that’s not the battlefield you should be on right now,”
Kaido said, “Go to Kuri. Kozuki Oden has already set out with his retainers. Now his nest is empty. You go to Oden Castle and capture his family.”
Ah? Ian looked bitter. He wanted me to bully women and children?
This isn’t a good thing, is it?
”Or, you can just go with me,”
Kaido seemed to see through Ian’s thoughts and continued, “After all, you are much stronger than Yamato and are qualified to participate in the war.”
”I’ll go to Kuri.”
Ian said solemnly, “Please leave it to me, Teacher Kai.”
I’m also a child! The same age as Momonosuke! (End of this chapter)
