I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 164 Wano Country's Aid? One Man Against an Entire Nation!
witchcraft!

It's all sorcery!

In the eyes of the Shimotsuki family's samurai, the members of the White Wolf Pirates have now become a group of sorcerers who use demonic arts.

A magical ability that allows one to grow bigger or smaller!
A sorcery capable of shattering glaciers and the earth!

A sorcery that can make a child's body grow larger and become indestructible!
A sorcery that can make people float!

After joining the White Wolf Pirates, Shiki's ability to use the Float-Float Fruit was exposed on the very first day. Even Shiki himself didn't think he could hide it from Monger.

Well, so be it.

Anyway, Shiki doesn't expect to leave the White Wolf Pirates anytime soon.

His goal is to emulate a senior figure.

Rocks!
Monger did not stop the powerful crew member from leaving the White Wolf Pirates, who was said to have joined the crew but has now left to start his own crew. This is hope!

In fact.

Although Rocks left the White Wolf Pirates, his identity as a member of the White Wolf Pirates was not erased. Even after he created his own pirate crew, it remained a force under the White Wolf Pirates.

After all, Lox did not break with Munger, nor did he defect.

Unless one day...

He really defeated Munger.

Only then can he be considered to have truly broken free from the identity imprint that Monge had given him.

Therefore, Shiki no longer intends to hide himself.

Since there's no way to leave the White Wolf Pirates for the time being.

Even within the White Wolf Pirates, he could become the strongest pirate crew member!
until one day.

He could gain Munger's approval like Lox and be qualified to go out and start his own business!

Lipriy blocked Shimotsuki Kazeya.

Newgate and Linlin held off the strongest samurai of the Shimotsuki family.

The remaining samurai.

Then Shiki, Zephyr, and Tsuru will handle the situation.

Stusi is just a minor character.

When he later joined Tengetsu, he simply followed Monger's instructions and chose the weakest samurai to hone his combat skills.

The two sides were evenly matched and fought fiercely.

However, this also shows that the White Wolf Pirates are not strong enough, at least not quite what Monger envisioned.

They couldn't even take over the power of a single clan in Wano Country.

Not to mention fighting against the world government.

"It's still a long way off!"

However, Monger also knew that he couldn't be too eager for quick success.

After all, it's still a short time.

Lipley and Newgate had been with the White Wolf Pirates for less than five years.

Lingling is still young.

But their strength is actually quite good even in this vast ocean.

A pirate with a bounty exceeding 100 million.

How many are there in the whole world?

Although Lipri's growth rate has slowed down, even if she only reaches a bounty of around 200 million in the end, she would still be a great pirate with a bounty of 1.6 billion in later generations, which would be among the top level in ordinary Yonko crews.

Not to mention, there are also Newgate and Linlin, two gifted monsters who are growing rapidly.

They are the future main force of the White Wolf Pirates!

After all, their personalities were different from Rocks'; they had no ambition to become king and preferred to live with their families.

Time is on his side!
Although it was noticed that Shimotsuki Kaze also took the opportunity during the battle to take out something that looked like a snail, seemingly wanting to ask for help from within Wano Country.

But Monge did not stop him.

Why stop it?
The impact of fighting inside Wano Country is different from fighting on the outskirts of Wano Country.

This is why Monger said it was an opportunity.

Opportunities to lure out all the samurai of Wano Country and then capture them all in one fell swoop are rare!
Think of this.

Monger was in no hurry to deal with the Shimotsuki family samurai.

Instead, he turned to look at Shimotsuki Nobuko.

"Little girl from Wano Country, why don't we continue our conversation? We can talk about the Giant Kingdom and Fishman Island."

"The Kingdom of Giants is inhabited by giants dozens of times larger than us, while the Fishman Island is inhabited by fish-bodied, fish-tailed or fish-like creatures."

"They are all my partners!"

Monger captured Shimotsuki Nobuko and put her on the Millennium Falcon, while Shimotsuki Kozaburo was simply left at the foot of the Millennium Falcon.

no way.

Who told this big idiot to stare at him with those bull-like eyes, like he was looking at his father's killer, and to keep making a scene?

"You damned pirate, I really misjudged you!"

"You must have obtained this Ghost Sword through despicable and shameless means, right?"

"Don't come near the vibrator, or I will never let you get away with this!"

"."

They kept shouting, making Monger's ears hurt.

So Monger simply gagged him with ice, taking only Shimotsuki Shinko with him.

At this moment, Shimotsuki Shinko finally calmed down.

"Lord Monger, what exactly is your purpose?"

"As for my goal, I want Wano Country to open its borders. Does doing business with Wano Country count?"

"Doing business with Wano Country?"

Shimotsuki Shinko hadn't expected Munger to give such an answer.

"How can plunder compare to doing business?"

Monger shook his head. Stealing things only quenches a temporary thirst; he prefers to do long-term business, and Wano Country does indeed have what he wants.

Not to mention that they possess the technology to process sea stone.

The weapon-forging skills of the artisans in Wano Country are among the best in the world.

If he were to go to war with the World Government.

Therefore, a stable source of weapons is essential.

Of course, Monger would not adopt that kind of short-sighted trading approach.

In the future, Kaido of the Beasts will only have Wano Country as his weapons production base. Wano Country is his main base, and he has no other way to make money, so he can only make his fortune by selling weapons.

But Munger is different.

Monger already has the world's safest logistics base, and with the support of trade routes between Fishman Island and the Giant Kingdom, he can fully support the guard legion he has just assembled as long as he expands the trade routes in the future.

"If you just want to do business with us, then why?"

Shuangyue Zhenzi bit her lip.

Even if she were naive, she could see that the members of the White Wolf Pirates actually had an absolute advantage over the samurai of the Shimotsuki family.

Despite the current evenly matched situation, the samurai are already considering retreating.

Because everyone knows it.

The strongest player on the field hasn't made a move yet.

Once Monger makes his move, the situation will be completely overturned.

"Isn't the reason simple?"

Monger raised an eyebrow. "If I weren't a bit forceful, would you and the Kingdom agree to make a deal? Probably not."

As a self-sufficient kingdom.

What are the benefits of agreeing to make a deal with Monger?

No.

The idea of ​​opening one's eyes to the world and helping the people of Wano Country develop better is just wishful thinking on the part of outsiders. Will the locals of Wano Country understand this?

no, I can not.

They'll just think you're an idiot.

Because in their minds, Wano Country is the best in the world.

So what Munger needs to do is very simple.

First, slap the people of Wano Country to the ground, then offer them a sweet treat to appease them.

Of course.

This slap shouldn't be too hard, lest it trigger a reaction in the Wano Country people.

A hissing cat doesn't care whether you mean well or badly.

This is why Mongols wanted to lure out all the samurai from Wano Country.

Because samurai were the ruling class of Wano Country.

Once the ruling class is dealt with, the conflicts among the common people can be easily resolved.

Of course. The prerequisite is to subdue these samurai!
The news that Shimotsuki Kazeya had requested help sent shockwaves throughout the entire Flower Capital.

"Young Master Oden has thrown the nanny out again!"

"Is this the time to worry about such trivial matters? Outsiders have broken in!"

"The Shimotsuki family actually asked for help?"

"It must be an enemy beyond our imagination. Why was the Shimotsuki family the first to discover it?"

"."

Chaos erupted in the castle where the shogun of Wano Country was located.

Since the era of the Dragon Slayer Warriors hundreds of years ago.

Wano Country has not been invaded by outsiders for hundreds of years. Even if someone accidentally breaks in, they can be easily driven away by the samurai.

After all, this is Wano Country.

Even in the weakest of times, one or two top-tier swordsmen can be cultivated.

Like frost, moon, and wind.

Although not a great swordsman, he is one of the top swordsmen in Wano Country.

In fact.

Twenty years ago, Wano Country actually had several great swordsmen.

Although the title of "Great Swordsman" only represents the level of swordsmanship and not strength, having the title of Great Swordsman is actually a stepping stone to becoming a top-level expert.

If your domineering level keeps up.

So the minimum requirement is a near-general level powerhouse.

In this era, Wano Country had experienced turmoil caused by the Kurozumi family. Although there was still a great swordsman, he was already very old.

Even the strongest warriors cannot withstand the ravages of time.

"Immediately contact the two daimyo of Nozomi and Udon. Since the daimyo of Ringo has requested assistance, he must have encountered some formidable enemy!"

The young general's heart pounded after he gave the order.

The former shogun of Wano Country passed away a long time ago.

Therefore, Kozuki Sukiyaki was forced to inherit the position of shogun at the young age of sixteen.

Fortunately, after the turmoil in the Kurotan family...

The entire Wano Country was severely weakened, and other families had no intention of plotting anything against it.

The situation in Wano Country gradually stabilized.

To this day, his wife has given birth to a boy.

This will be the future heir to Wano Country.

Even for the sake of his son, Kozuki Sukiyaki would not allow Wano Country to be invaded by enemies.

"in addition."

After some hesitation, Kozuki Sukiyaki finally made a decision.

"Let's contact Bai Wu."

The daimyo of the Hakumai region is the only samurai in Wano Country who currently holds the title of Great Swordsman. He is also an eighty-year-old man, who is like the pillar of Wano Country. No one knows when this old man will pass away.

Most importantly, the Tianyue family, to which the old man belonged, suffered the most severe damage during the Heitan family's rebellion.

now.

In reality, only the old man remained in the entire Tianyue family.

and so.

Unless absolutely necessary, Kozuki Sukiyaki didn't really want to make this old man do anything.

But what if?
Kozuki Sukiyaki's current state is actually like that of many people who have never fought a war. When faced with an enemy invasion, their first thought is to go all in.

We don't know how strong the enemy is.
So, it shouldn't be a problem if I go all in, right?
If you can't even beat them in a straight game, you might as well just give up.

So, at Kozuki Sukiyaki's command, the entire Wano Country began to slowly start running, like an ancient machine, with a series of creaking sounds.

No matter how slow it was, the machine hadn't rusted or jammed.

It can still generate an incredibly powerful force.

Even Shimotsuki Kaze probably didn't expect that his emergency call for help would elicit such a huge response because he couldn't be distracted during the battle.

The two daimyo of Nozomi and Udon, who are also the Amatsuki and Fuugetsu families, immediately led a thousand samurai to provide support, and more samurai were being summoned.

The old swordsman of the Tengetsu family did not refuse the general's summons.

It was just an instruction.

"Kang family, if I don't come back, then Bai Wu is in your hands."

"Father!"

"No need to say anything more."

The old swordsman shook his head. When the Black Charcoal Clan persecuted them, both the Wind Moon Clan and the Rain Moon Clan stood by and watched, only the Frost Moon Clan extended a helping hand to them.

This is why, after the Tianyue family line died out, he chose to adopt a member of the Shuangyue family as his stepson.

This is a return to the Shimotsuki family.

Now that Shuangyue's family is in trouble, he naturally cannot sit idly by.

Although the Tianyue family has no descendants.

However, the number of warriors under his command was no less than that of the other families.

The three daimyo families plus the Kozuki family.

In just one day, it attracted tens of thousands of people.

If only we had a little more time.

This number could double again.

However, those unruly wandering warriors are not necessarily obedient to discipline.

Therefore, Kozuki Sukiyaki led this army of ten thousand men.

They marched in a mighty procession toward the direction from which Shuangyue Fengye had sent out his distress call.

They had already confirmed it beforehand.

Shimotsuki Kaze did indeed lead a considerable number of people to the border of Wano Country.

Therefore, the request for help must be genuine!

However, no news came back from the front, and even the spies sent to investigate were nowhere to be found.

This made Kozuki Sukiyaki somewhat uneasy.

But looking at the large army behind him, he forcibly suppressed his unease.

Although he was not a powerful warrior.

However, the heads of the Fuuki and Ugetsu families are both top swordsmen in Wano Country.

There is also a great swordsman from the Tengetsu family.

No matter what kind of enemy they face, they should be able to fight back!

Wait until they arrive at the battlefield.

The situation on the battlefield was not unexpected.

All the Shimotsuki samurai who initially sent the distress call have been captured, and even their spies have all fallen to the side.

And their only enemy is—

one person!?
The battle between the Shimotsuki family samurai and the White Wolf Pirates crew ultimately ended in victory for the White Wolf Pirates.

It's not that the Frosty Moon Wind is too weak.

Rather, Newgate and Lingling were far too strong compared to his group of subordinates.

Lingling was the first to defeat her opponent.

Then there's Newgate.

Once those two are free, it will be a righteous three against one.

After all, we fought to the very end.

Lipriy is already at a disadvantage.

In terms of raw skill, she is indeed somewhat inferior to top-tier swordsmen like Shimotsuki Kazeya.

But it's different when it's three against one.

Even before he acquired the system, Monger would have to temporarily avoid the brunt of Ripley, Newgate, and Linlin's attacks.

Not to mention the frost, moon, and wind.

So the initial battle lasted for several hours, and after the samurai fell, Shimotsuki Kaze was also besieged.

The battle ended in an instant.

Then the army of Wano Country arrived in great force.

The crew of the White Wolf Pirates rested and recuperated.

Even his injuries were mostly healed under the influence of Stussy's healing hormones.

but.

The crew will not be needed for this battle.

Mongols alone blocked the path that the Wano Country army was bound to take.

One man can hold off an entire nation!
