Chapter 298 Death of the Black Carbon Snake
The flower street of the flower capital in Wano Country.

With a soft crashing sound, the famous courtesan Kozuki of Wano Country turned pale and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground, turning into pieces.

"How could this happen? Uncle Denjiro is dead?"

The courtesan Xiao Zi looked very sad. She sat on the tatami and muttered to herself:

"Everything was fine yesterday. Kaido was entangled by foreign pirates, and Kurozumi Orochi's subordinates didn't have much strength left... How could something like this happen suddenly?!"

The Oiran Kozuki has another identity, that is, she was once the daughter of Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Hiyori.

The reason for becoming an oiran was largely to gather intelligence about her enemies, and at the same time, she used her identity as an oiran to collect funds to support the poor.

The fact that she was able to become an oiran in such a complicated and mixed place like the red-light district without getting into any trouble was certainly due to the fact that Hiyori Kotsuki was smart, resourceful, and good at making use of her own conditions, but more importantly, it was because of the protection of Denjiro.

It can be said that among the Nine Red Scabbards, the one with whom Hiyori has the best relationship is Denjiro. Even Kawamatsu, who had always taken care of Hiyori when they were children, can only be ranked on par with Denjiro.

Even in personal feelings, Denjiro is more like her relative and elder than her father who died long ago and her missing brother.

Now that Denjiro has died so suddenly, for Kozuki Hiyori, it is no less a heavy blow than when her family was broken up and her loved ones were killed.

However, the current Kozuki Hiyori is no longer the same child as before. Although the grief remains, her personal ability to endure has become much stronger, and she quickly came to her senses.

"Xiao Nanzi, thank you for passing on the message to me... Take this money first! I have some things to do and need to leave the red-light district temporarily."

After calming down, Hiyori Kotsuki plans to make arrangements for Konan first, and then find a way to enter the palace. As for whether to avenge Denjiro, she plans to collect more information before making plans.

Even though Kozuki Hiyori felt heartbroken after the death of her relative Denjiro, she was no longer the little girl she used to be. After being in good terms with Kurozumi Orochi, the enemy who killed her father for so many years, the princess of Wano Country had long learned to be patient.

"Ahahahaha, Hiyori-nee, what are you going to do? Don't be impulsive!!"

Konanko had a laughing expression on her face, but she was actually quite anxious when she spoke. Kozuki Hiyori shook her head and smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, Nan-chan. After so many years, I have endured the face of the black charcoal snake. How could I be so impulsive?"

"This time, I'm just going to get some information, and also to see what this foreigner who occupies Wano Country wants to do..."

If the opponent still exploits Wano Country like Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido, then Hiyori Kozuki will find a way to deal with them. If the opponent can be nicer to ordinary people in Wano Country, Hiyori Kozuki will continue to lurk and wait.

When Hiyori's mother used the Toki Toki Fruit to send the Nine Red Scabbards and her son, Hiyori's brother Momonosuke, away for 20 years, if you calculate the time, it has been less than a year.

Although Madam Shi’s prediction had long since been shattered, at least her brother should appear in 20 years!
It was precisely with this idea in mind that Hiyori Kozuki decided to see the situation and decide whether to continue enduring.

At the same time, in a secret cave prison on Onigashima in Wano Country, a big-breasted woman with long horns, white hair and a confused look on her face was caught.

"Yamato, come out!"

"Runti, what's going on? Could it be that the old man can't defeat his opponent and needs my help? I don't want to fight against the opponents of the Beast Pirates."

The woman named Yamato showed an impatient expression on her face as she looked at the women who came to pick her up. However, what confused her was that she didn't know the other women except Runti.

This Yamato is Kaido's daughter. She is also a die-hard fan of Kozuki Oden and a user of the Oguchi Shinto no Mi with a strange personality.

She has long white hair that changes color from white to green and then to blue from the top of her head to the ends. She has a middle-parted hairstyle, with her hair hanging down to her chest.

She has a pair of red devil horns on her head, her hair is tied into a ponytail with two orange hairpins, and she has golden earrings on her ears.

Coupled with her fair and delicate face, hot body, and somewhat innocent yet resolute temperament, it is hard to imagine that Kaido would actually give birth to such a beautiful daughter.

However... there was a hint of well-hidden contempt in Runti's eyes: Although Yamato is very beautiful, she doesn't have much brains, and I don't know if Kaido had damaged her brain when she was a child, so she actually worships Kozuki Oden.

Anyway, from the information obtained from the older generation of pirates, Runti could not see what was worthy of admiration in that fool Oden. On the contrary, his stupidity was the same as Yamato's.

"You're wrong, the Beasts Pirates are finished. Even my original bastard captain, your father, has died."

Yamato was stunned for a moment, then pouted and waved his hand:
"Runti, you are lying to me again! That bull-headed gorilla daddy won't die so easily!"

"And if the Beasts Pirates were really finished, you wouldn't be able to be so calm, Runti!"

Although Runti is a complete venomous person who will not restrain himself even when facing Kaido, in actual actions, Runti has always been very supportive of Kaido's decisions and has always believed in his captain.

It is precisely because he knows that Runti is loyal to Kaido that Yamato regards the so-called destruction of the Beasts Pirates as a joke. It is no exaggeration to say that in Yamato's mind, if the Beasts Pirates were really destroyed, even if Runti was not buried with the Beasts Pirates, she would definitely be devastated. How could she be as energetic as she is now?

"What Runti said is true~~ The Beasts Pirates are indeed finished, and Captain Kaido has also died in this war... To be precise, more than 80% of the pirate groups in the New World are finished, and the three pirate emperors are all dead!"

With a faint smile, the charming and seductive Black Maria walked in slowly in a black off-shoulder kimono.

"Are you kidding me too? Black Maria!" Yamato rolled his eyes and didn't believe it at all. Black Maria was also a backbone of the Beasts Pirates and was also quite loyal. The two of them said with a smile that the Beasts Pirates were finished. How stupid must he be to believe it!
"Forget it. You won't believe anything I say now. Let me take off your handcuffs first!"

Black Maria took out a key and directly opened Yamato's seastone handcuffs. These seastone handcuffs were specially made by Kaido for his daughter. In terms of purity, they are much inferior to ordinary seastone handcuffs. However, inside the handcuffs, there are extremely powerful explosives installed.

Once Yamato leaves Onigashima, the bomb seastone handcuffs will explode automatically, with enough power to seriously injure even a strong man like Yamato. This is also the restriction Kaido imposes on his rebellious daughter.

Yamato stared at the untied handcuffs with wide eyes, moving his hands back and forth several times before reacting:
"The explosive handcuffs...were unlocked??"

"It seems that the bastard dad must have been beaten up pretty hard these past few days! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to remove my restrictions so easily."

At this time, Runti seemed to want to say something, but Black Maria gave her a smiling look, turned to Yamato and said:
"Okay, Yamato, come with me! You'll know the mission then."

"Humph! You still want my help? Don't think I will appreciate it just because it's so easy!"

Yamato snorted, looking very proud, but he finally walked out.

"This girl's brain is getting confused again. Shouldn't we give her a few more warnings?"

Following behind Yamato, Runti whispered to Black Maria.

"It doesn't matter!"

Black Maria took a puff of her cigarette, looked at Runti, and said with a smile:
"Anyway, let's just take her to the Flower Capital to meet Lord Feiyu...After meeting Lord Feiyu, I believe Yamato will not take the matter of the Beasts Pirates to heart."

"As for Yamato's eccentric personality, what does it mean to Master Feiyu? Aren't we also willing to become Master Feiyu's loyal dogs? Yamato, a guy with the Devil Fruit of the Dog-Dog Fruit, will only become more docile!"

……

On the streets of the Flower Capital in Wano Country, this originally bustling street was now surrounded by a large group of people, and the entire intersection was packed with people.

In the center of the street square, a three or four meter high platform was built. A group of ordinary people from Wano Country were talking below and looking at the big-headed figure on the platform.

Although he looked a little disheveled, with a crooked mouth, slanted eyes, foaming at the mouth and looking like a mentally retarded person, the people below still recognized the man tied to the platform. He was their general, Kurozumi Orochi.

The two female soldiers deftly pinned Kurozumi Orochi to the ground, and without even reading out any of Kurozumi Orochi's crimes, one of the female soldiers deftly picked up the huge machete and chopped off Kurozumi Orochi's head with one stroke.

The many Wano country civilians who were watching the scene let out cries mixed with fear, and for a moment, all kinds of expressions appeared on their faces, including relief, anger, and fear.

Some people hated Kurozumi Orochi's rule and were delighted to see his death. Others were filled with anger when they saw a group of "outsiders" showing off their power and chopping down the ruler of their own country for no reason.

But the vast majority of civilians, looking at the head of Kurozumi Orochi with its eyes open, only felt fear in their hearts, and transferred all their original awe of Kurozumi Orochi to these outsiders.

After all, Kurozumi Orochi has been brainwashing the ordinary people over the years, and many people actually think that he, as a general, is a great two-sword swordsman and the protector of Wano Country.

If that was the case, then wouldn't the outsider who could easily behead him be even more powerful? Hence the awe.

A female soldier kicked the head of the black charcoal snake away, and it fell into the crowd below. Amidst the screams, many people avoided the huge head, but there were also some people who squeezed over and smashed the big head fiercely:
"Damn you, Black Charcoal Snake, you deserve this day!"

"God has eyes, Black Charcoal Snake, you finally got your retribution!"

"Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, damn Kurozumi Orochi, damn Kurozumi family, you should have died long ago!"

Most of the people in Wano Country are complete fools. Since they have never gained knowledge since the founding of the country, they have spent their entire lives wandering around in this small place, Wano Country. Naturally, they believe whatever the general of Wano Country says and completely regard Kurozumi Orochi's words as the truth.

But no matter what, such a big country will not lack smart people. These people have long recognized the true face of Kurozumi Orochi, not to mention that the incident of Kozuki Oden being boiled only happened 20 years ago. Many older people in Wano country can still remember the hatred at that time.

These people are also the main force that is now turning the head of the black charcoal snake into meat paste. In just a moment, the big head has been smashed into pieces, and white and red are smeared all over the ground.

The female soldier who was executing Kurozumi Orochi watched this scene happen without trying to stop it. Instead, she left the execution platform indifferently.

Outside of Xingtai Square, Hiyori Kozuki covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face, a look of joy on her face:
"Father, Mother, I hope you can see this in heaven. The rule of the Black Charcoal Snake has finally come to an end!"

Although I don’t know what the personalities of these foreign people are like, no matter what, the enemies who killed my parents are finally dead.

However, Kozuki Hiyori soon thought that the Uchiha Toba force that killed Kurozumi Orochi was actually her enemy. The status of Denjiro in her mind was not much worse than that of her parents who passed away when she was a child.

If Hiyori Kozuki still had a bit of worry mixed with her joy, then Yamato, who was also standing outside the square, had a dazed look on his face and was completely confused.

"Hey, hey, isn't that Kurozumi Orochi?! What's going on? How could Kurozumi Orochi be chopped off like that? What on earth did that idiot dad want to do?"

In response to Yamato's question, Runti just rolled his eyes:
"You wouldn't believe this even if I told you! If you want to know the truth, come with me to the castle tower!"
