Ankaido, the ancestor of pirates

Another month has passed since Kuzan came to Zu'an.

"Kacha~Kacha~"

It was noon today, and Kuzan was sweating in the field with a hammer.

"Brother Kuzan, let's have some watermelon! This thing used to be very valuable, but now you only need one hundred beli to buy a car..."

An old man with a cane in his left hand was holding a small cart filled with watermelons.

"Thank you, old man!"

Kuzan picked up the largest watermelon in the car, and then opened it in half with a slight force. Then he used his power to make a spoon made of ice, and ate the watermelon in big mouthfuls.

"Why would Lord Kuzan want to come to Zaun from a developed outside world? I heard that the natural enemies in the dough world don't need to be planted by yourself, they will grow on their own."

The old man reached Kuzan's side and asked curiously. When people reach old age, they seem to have returned to their childhood and are curious about everything.

"The outside world? It's not very developed, right! How should I put it? Anyway, the outside world is far less safe than Zaun!"

Kuzan sat next to the old man and raised his head slightly to look at the floating clouds in the sky. Apart from Saint Mary Joa and Marin Vando, there was really no safety in Zaun in the outside world, at least during the month Kuzan was in Zaun.

I have never encountered pirates who came to Zaan to rob me.

So Kuzan took some time off. In addition to reporting the situation to the Warring States Period every week, he worked with the people in Za'an to build houses, farm and the like, and got to know many local residents.

"Yeah?"

"Then it doesn't look like much outside! But Zuan was not like this before, at least not before Lord Kaido took office..."

The old man shook his head gently. When people get old, they like to recall the time when they were young.

"What was Zaun like in the past?"

Kuzan had been here for a month and this was the first time he heard someone mention the former Zaun, so he became interested and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about it.

"Zuan in the past... It really happened a long time ago. It was called Wano Country at that time. It was a closed country. The country was controlled by daimyo and generals. Many people didn't have enough to eat at that time.

Ah! They all starved to death... Later, the appearance of Lord Oden gave Wano a new look. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Lord Oden abandoned us, hahahaha... and went to sea by himself..." The old man chuckled but

No one can understand the bitterness in his eyes. Maybe people who have not experienced that era will never understand his feelings. "Then Orochi-sama came to power, and that was also the most painful era for us. Orochi-sama was the only one in his life.

His achievement is probably to introduce Lord Kaido to this country!"

"But that's all in the past. Now we have enough to eat, and no nobles dare to blatantly bully us. This is already very happy..."

The old man revealed his true feelings to Kuzan.

"Alas...you have worked hard!"

Although the old man said it very casually, Kuzan can probably guess how hard it was. After all, among the village chiefs, the only one who is over seventy years old is the old man in front of him, and the other oldest

He was only just fifty. From this point of view, Kuzan could roughly understand the situation at that time.

"So...if you can help Mr. Kaiduo, please help Mr. Kaiduo...I can also see that Mr. Kaiduo really values ​​you, you know? A few days ago, I was the first

The first time I saw Mr. Kaiduo in person, I saw him in our village... I know that Mr. Kaiduo didn't say he came to see us but said he came to see you... Oh... forget it... Renyi

I love to talk nonsense when I get old...just think of me as an old man and an old fool!"

"You can continue to rest! I will share this melon with other hard-working young men. This is the last thing I, an old man, can do for this village."

As the old man spoke, he stood up, patted the dust on his body, and continued to push the cart towards the other young people who were still working in the fields.

"You work hard! Old man!"

Kuzan looked at the old man's figure and felt a little emotional.

"But the positions are different! Old man!"

Kuzan was fascinated as he looked at his navy coat, which was placed on an ordinary stone farm with the word justice embroidered on the back.

"Maybe one day I will no longer have this coat behind me, and I may come here to retire!"

Kuzan ate up the melon in one go, picked up the hoe and continued into the fields. He fantasized about the life of seclusion in Zaun after retiring from the navy in his seventies, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Perhaps Kuzan cannot imagine now or even in the future that his retirement will come much earlier than he imagined.

…

"Baaaaaaaaaa..."

Doflamingo held a wowotou in his hand and smiled bitterly as he sat in his room that looked like a cell but was actually a cell. He had escaped seven times in this month and was caught seven times.

In this month, he has met Kaido's subordinates Jhin, Tom, Abaro Pizarro and Asura Doji. The strength of any of these four people is almost at the same level as him.

Among them, Jhin was the one who steadily dominated him in the use of domineering power. Whether it was weapons, knowledge or overlordship, he was as helpless as a child in front of Jhin. The terrifying domineering pressure made him unable to breathe at all. That person called

Jin's man recaptured him alone and without saying a word.

The remaining two people, Tom and Asura Doji, were actually able to fight with him, a fruit user, by relying on their swordsmanship... Especially the man named Tom. He heard that that guy was also a person with abilities, but so far he has not been able to fight with him.

Brother Lang Ming has never seen what the other party is capable of...and Abaro Pizarro is not only ridiculously talkative, but also as strong as a monster.

However, Doflamingo was not discouraged. He always felt that he had hope of escaping. Until the seventh time he escaped, he had almost succeeded. He had already grabbed the boat, but he was taken with him.

The boat was frozen on the dock together.

When the ice melted, the moment he saw the figure, he chose to give up and escape.

It was also at that time that Doflamingo learned that in addition to a sea emperor living in this damn country of Zuan, there also lived a commodore of the navy.

"asshole!"

Doflamingo was scolding himself with these words. Before he came to Zuan, he had always been proud of his own strength. It was only after he came to Zuan that he discovered that his strength was only at the level of an imperial corps cadre, and

They are only at the upper-middle level among the cadres of the Imperial Regiment.

Doflamingo, who had no choice but to do anything, once again picked up the phone bug Kaido gave him.
