One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 902: The pathetic arrogance and the discovery of Ashura Boy
Momonosuke died, and his death was without any ripples. Although many people were excited at the time, their lives continued afterwards without any changes. They were already on the right path, and the death of a ghost that survived from the past only became a topic of conversation for a few days. In less than half a month, everyone had forgotten about it. The only difference was that after Momonosuke and others were hastily buried, an Ashura boy who had been working in the mountains after he was released from prison came over, poured a glass of wine on the grave, and left after a moment of silence.

The Ashura boy at this time was completely different from the past. He had rough skin, a straw hat on his head, and a sweat towel on his body. He had put down his sword a long time ago and replaced it with a hoe. His expression, which looked like a demon in the past, had become extremely peaceful. Even his hairstyle had changed, becoming a somewhat awkward-looking buzz cut, and a round buzz cut at that.

"I didn't expect you to come."

Kikunosuke said as he looked at the Ashura boy who appeared beside the grave.

"Compared to you, I'm nothing."

Looking at Kikunosuke, who was already a wife and a mother, Ashura Douji smiled and shook his head and said.

"I came to see them. After all, they were once my companions, right? I won't stop Hiyori. After all, I am no longer a retainer of the Kozuki clan. My debt has been paid."

Kikunojo sighed helplessly. She had advised Kozuki Oden before, but unfortunately he didn't listen. She then talked to Kozuki Toki about it, but although Kozuki Toki was smiling, Kikunojo was sure that she didn't listen either. Kin'emon and Denjiro, they didn't listen to what she said. The innate arrogance has always been around them. Even Kozuki Toki, who looks the most approachable, is actually an extremely arrogant person. Their kindness to ordinary people is more like a kind of charity, rather than really treating it as an equal relationship.

Of course, Kikunosuke would not deny that it was because of Kozuki Oden's bowl of oden that allowed her and her brother to survive, but as I said, it was alms, and she and Izo had already paid off their debt and did not need to continue working for him.

"Yes, but they don't understand. I can't even convince myself to shed tears for them, because it was nothing else that killed them, just stupidity. I heard that Kin'emon and the others were only locked up for a few days, and their original 40-year sentence became more than 120 years. They obviously had a chance to survive. I'm just curious, why does Miss Hiyori have such a big grudge against Momonosuke? I thought the executor would be someone else at first. Did Kaido and the others ask Miss Hiyori to do this?"

Ashura Boy said this with some surprise, but he felt something was wrong because he was at the scene, blending in with the crowd in disguise. He saw the expression on Hiyori's face, and it didn't look like she was forced at all. Anyone could feel the resentment from the inside out.

"No, it was Miss Hiyori's own choice. In my opinion, Miss Hiyori probably blames herself for being left behind. They were able to send her away, but they kept her. For a three or four-year-old child, it was a gamble for her life to survive in that environment. If Mr. Kaido and Mrs. Lily hadn't adopted her, even if the Beastmen didn't hurt her, those ordinary people who had been oppressed for so many years would not have let Miss Hiyori go. It can only be said that if it weren't for Mr. Kaido and them, Miss Hiyori would have died. This is probably the reason why Miss Hiyori is so resentful."

Kikunosuke shook his head and inserted three incense sticks into the ground. There was only a grave here, without a tombstone or anything else. Several people were even cremated together. They were all put in a random box. It can be said that they were indistinguishable from each other. To be honest, considering the degree of disgust the people of Wano Country had for them, they were still able to find a box for them instead of letting them go with the wind. This was already a great kindness.

"That's right. I don't know how they came up with this idea. They didn't want to send such a young child away safely, but let someone carry him away. According to what He Song said, the outside should have been surrounded at that time. How could He Song escape by himself?"

Ashura boy shook his head. Since he changed his mindset, he found that many things that he couldn't understand before, he now understood them all. He felt that his past self was a complete idiot. No, not just himself, everyone around him was an idiot. Otherwise, why did they never discover so many problems?

"Maybe it's because we were all equally blind in the past. We had never seen how vast the ocean was, nor how majestic the Red Earth Continent was. We only looked at the small piece of land under our feet and thought we were the most powerful and the richest people in the world. But in essence, we are just a group of frogs in the well who have never seen the world. Even if we have seen everything outside, we can only say that it's nothing, and then continue to stare at our eyes. Unless someone comes up and slaps them awake, otherwise, they will forever indulge in their self-righteous dreams."

Kikunosuke sighed helplessly. In fact, there was one more thing she hadn't said, which was that some idiots who were too deeply poisoned would not wake up even if all their bones were taken apart, just like one of the bones buried here.

"Maybe, but since you're here, I don't have to make a trip. You know it's very troublesome to get approval for my departure, so please deliver this to me." Ashura Boy decided not to bother with these issues anymore. He took out an ancient scroll from his arms and handed it to Kikunosuke.

"What is this?"

Kikunosuke took it and looked at the scroll which looked as if it had just been dug out of the ground, and asked curiously.

"I don't know either, but it contains ancient characters. I dug it out when I was digging a well in the mountains. I can't understand it, but I remember that there should be someone in the Beasts who can understand it, right? Can you help me give it to them?"

Ashura boy waved his hand and said that he had come to deliver this in the first place, and that coming to see this small grave mound was just a side trip. Now it seemed that this was the right choice, as he would not have to fill out those forms that made his scalp tingle. After all, he was still in a restricted stage after being released from prison. Of course, in another two years, after being confirmed that there was no problem, he would become a free citizen again and have normal rights.

"Ancient writing? Do you know how precious this is?"

Kikunojo opened the scroll in his hand in surprise, and a fishy smell came to her face, but Kikunojo did not avoid it at all, but looked at it carefully. She did not understand ancient characters, but she knew what ancient characters looked like. In fact, they, the retainers of Kozuki Oden at that time, all knew what ancient characters looked like, because Kozuki Oden knew it, but he did not like it. Those learning books were sometimes thrown away by him at will, and it was all thanks to people like them to pick them up. Unfortunately, most of those books had been swallowed up by the fire at that time. However, it seemed that they were just some practice books and did not contain any knowledge.

"I know, but I hope you don't say I gave it to you. Just say you saw it on the street stall. I just want to farm peacefully now. Please don't cause me any trouble."

Ashura boy waved his hands. He really didn't want to get involved in any disputes. He was not a smart man and couldn't see the situation clearly, so he thought his best choice was not to make any choice and hide in the mountains and forests, farming peacefully. He didn't plan to get married anyway, so it was good to live a peaceful life like this. By the way, he could also ensure that the wild beasts in the mountains would not come down to harm people.

"You, well, okay, I can promise not to let them find you, but I will tell them that you gave it to me. I can't take the credit for it. This is my bottom line."

Kikunosuke looked at Ashura Douji and wanted to persuade him, but found that he didn't know what to say. In the end, he sighed helplessly and said.

"Okay, as long as I can focus on farming, I'll be leaving first. If I have time, I'll give you some of the vegetables I grow to try. Just consider it as a gift to my little nephew, hahahahaha."

Ashura Douji left with a smile. Kikunojo looked at the direction Ashura Douji left and couldn't help but curl his lips. It was good. At least she had a friend who came out, right? It was good like this. Living a peaceful life was much better than continuing the revenge that would never be realized.

"By the way, let's buy some vegetables. Do you have the lettuce that Lou Shilang likes? Really, when will this child start to like eating meat? I really don't know who he takes after."

Kikunojo put the scroll in his arms and left while thinking about dinner.
