Chapter 28 The Usefulness of Kozuki Sukiyaki, Teacher Kai’s Teachings
Kozuki Sukiyaki’s body was stiff, and he didn’t even care about feeling sad for his son’s death, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Ian put the doll in his hand back to its original position.
You said you don’t know?
Then how did Kozuki Oden master the knowledge of ancient characters?
Did he know it by nature?
”One hundred people.”
Ian raised a finger.
”What?”
Kozuki Sukiyaki was puzzled.
Ian said, “If you don’t teach me the knowledge of ancient characters, I will kill a hundred people from Wano.”
”What!!”
Kozuki Sukiyaki jumped up in shock, but the next second, Ian pressed his shoulder and pushed him back.
So weak.
Is this guy really Kozuki Oden’s old father? His strength is so weak that he can only be said to have been trained, and he has nothing to do with the real strong man.
No wonder he was easily calculated by Kurozumi Orochi and others.
Ian thinks Sukiyaki is so weak.
Sukiyaki thinks Ian is so strong.
He can’t resist this power at all.
It’s even stronger than when Oden was this age! However, now is not the time to think about this matter.
”No! You can’t do this!”
Kozuki Sukiyaki shouted excitedly.
“Your Majesty Ian,”
And Fukuroku, who was known for his loyalty, said respectfully, “Do you want me to help you catch someone?”
”What’s your answer?”
Ian asked Kozuki Sukiyaki.
Of course he wasn’t so bored as to catch someone to kill.
Although he didn’t feel a sense of belonging to any country in this world, and Ian didn’t care whether they prospered or destroyed, he wasn’t a murderer.
Ian just felt that this level of verbal threat was enough.
Again, it’s a pirate tradition for good people to be threatened by bad people, and it’s a must-try.
”I know!”
Kozuki Sukiyaki gritted his teeth, “I’ll teach you! As long as you don’t hurt the people of Wano Country!”
”Great.”
Ian showed a cute smile that only children have, “In this way, a world where no one will be hurt, isn’t this completed?”
Kozuki Sukiyaki just gritted his teeth, thinking that such a child was so vicious, should it be said that he was worthy of being Kaido’s disciple?
”Keep an eye on him.”
Ian said to Fukurokushou.
”Yes, Your Majesty.”
Fukurokushou gladly accepted the task.
Next, it’s time to find Teacher Kai.
Ancient texts are nothing worth keeping secret, after all, Ian has no interest in the great secret treasure.
What history, what truth, he doesn’t care at all.
Let Teacher Kai do it.
Just after coming out of the secret room, I saw Yamato running in from the gate excitedly.
The little girl’s face was flushed, holding an apple candy in one hand, and Jack and Black Maria followed behind her.
”Ian! Have you finished?”
Yamato saw Ian’s eyes light up, and ran over with a jump, saying expectantly while handing the apple candy in his left hand to Ian, “For you.”
”Well, now I have to go to find Teacher Kai, I have something to do.”
Ian nodded, took the apple candy and licked it, “So sweet.”
”Hehe, it’s delicious, right?”
Yamato also stretched out his little tongue and gently licked the candy in his hand, “The Flower City is so lively! You should go with us.”
When Ian called all the ministers to a meeting, they went to the Flower City for fun.
“Ian, you didn’t go with me, Yamato was also disappointed.”
Black Maria chuckled, and Ian found that her hair had been tied up with several hairpins, which should be newly bought.
”Ian and I have always been together!”
Yamato said as a matter of course while chewing candy.
”Let’s play together later.”
Ian raised his hand and rubbed the girl’s head, quite clingy, “Will you go with me to see Teacher Kai?”
”No!”
Yamato shook her head, she smiled and showed two missing front teeth, “We are going to play hide-and-seek in the city!”
Ian looked at Jack and Black Maria, who were more than three meters tall, and said, “Let’s play hide-and-seek in the city!”Ya, pursed his lips.
He earnestly told Yamato, “You should be a ghost more often.”
After watching the three friends go to play, Ian went to find Teacher Kai.
Teacher Kai was drinking during the day as usual. When Ian saw him, he was already drunk.
However, when Ian said that Kozuki Sukiyaki knew ancient characters, the confusion in his eyes disappeared instantly.
”Boy! Are you serious?”
Teacher Kai sat up straight instantly.
“Kozuki Sukiyaki admitted it himself.”
Ian said, “It shouldn’t be false.”
”I was just saying how that bastard Roger found the great secret treasure! That’s why he wanted to dig Kozuki Oden away from the Whitebeard Pirates!”
Teacher Kai was instantly excited, “Ugh! Good! You did a good job, Ian!”
In this case, there are only three road signs left to the great secret treasure.
Lingling has one! Only two are left!
”Haha, it’s okay.”
Ian scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and he said, “In addition, Kozuki Sukiyaki seems to be the best swordsmith in Wano Country.”
Not only the best, but even the second generation of Kitetsu was made by him, which is one of the twenty-one great swords. Putting aside his brain, he is indeed a truly top swordsmith.
Although Ian doesn’t use weapons himself, it’s okay to give Yamato a mace of the level of a large sharp sword.
”Really?”
Teacher Kai understood Ian’s meaning and nodded gently, “Then take that guy to Onigashima and let him make weapons!”
Coincidentally, Teacher Kai set up a weapons industry in Wano Country.
”By the way, Teacher Kai,”
Ian still felt that he should report the business, “About this country–”
”It doesn’t matter.”
However, Teacher Kai was not interested, “It doesn’t matter what this country is like, as long as the weapons factory can operate normally, you can do whatever you like.”
It’s really a statement that fits the character setting.
”By the way, before you go back, there’s one more thing you need to do.”
Teacher Kai took out the wine gourd again.
Before going back?
Ian blinked, a little confused, “Ah? Teacher Kai, do I have to go back with you? What about the affairs of this country?”
Teacher Kai took a sip of wine and said impatiently, “Didn’t I just say it? It doesn’t matter what this country is like. You just need to let it exist as a weapons factory, and let your subordinates do other things. Are you still afraid that someone will dare to disobey you?”
He looked down at Ian, “Little boy, you have to understand one thing! Compared to some shitty king, you should be a strong man, a real strong man!”
Of course I know about this kind of thing, and this is why I, the king, don’t feel involved. Is this what you asked me to prepare for? I was beaten on Ghost Island before I became king, and I was beaten on Ghost Island after I became king. Then I am not a king in vain?
”If it doesn’t work, can’t we use the smart snail to communicate?” Teacher Kai probably added another sentence because he was afraid of discouraging the child’s enthusiasm.
Since Wano Country is a closed country, there are no Den Den Mushi. However, there is a relative of Den Den Mushi here, called the Intelligent Field Snail. Its function is basically the same as Den Den Mushi, but the radio waves are weaker, and a leading snail must be used as a transfer every certain distance.
Ian sighed.
That’s fine.
The monarch is offline, just as a tribute to the benevolent monarchs of Africa.
Anyway, Wano Country is not that big, and it takes less than two hours to fly from Onigashima to Flower Capital.
”Then, Mr. Kai, what is the thing you want me to do?” Ian asked.
“Several daimyo have raised an army and are heading towards Flower Capital. You can ask Jin for details.”
Teacher Kai burped, “Anyway, you go and deal with them.”
Ian pointed at himself, “Am I alone?”
If I remember correctly, the daimyo who raised an army in the original work were quite powerful. One of them was a relative of Zoro, a descendant of Ryoma.
”What nonsense are you talking about? Suppressing rebellion in the country, isn’t this what the king should do?”
Am I the king again at this time?
Teacher Kai, I really can’t guess you.
However, since it is the king who suppresses the rebellion, it is okay for me to bring ninjas and samurai with me, right?
Ian thought.
By the way, there is another most important question.”Teacher Kai,”
Ian said more seriously, “How did you do that fire dragon that day? Flames have no form, but you made them condense into something substantial, and even gave them a domineering aura?”
“Hmph, are you interested in this?”
Teacher Kai seemed somewhat relieved. He snorted and took another sip of wine, “Because of willpower.”
“Ah?”
“As long as you want to do it, you can do it.”
“Ah?”
