One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Kozuki Sukiyaki sat at his doorstep, smoking a cigarette idly.

You can't buy cigarettes in Wano Country, of course. These cigarettes were made by the old man himself, and they had a strange smell.

Looking at the bustling scene in the village, Kozuki Sukiyaki frowned, his brows furrowing into a deep frown, and he looked rather unpleasant.

"call!"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Kozuki Sukiyaki realized that he had been sidelined by Yang Ming.

Although he is nominally the village chief of Amigasa Village, and may have a chance to regain the position of Shogun of Wano Country in the future, everything will be different from before. This ancient country is being plotted to be taken away by that terrifyingly young general.

This kind of coup is not like the one between Kaido of the Beasts and Orochi, which was merely a change of leader without any fundamental change. Rather, it is a bottom-up reform that has injected new vitality into this ancient country.

"Perhaps, both I and this country are getting old."

Kozuki Sukiyaki silently smoked his cigarette, a sigh escaping his lips.

Now, his son Kozuki Oden has been dead for many years, his grandson Kozuki Momonosuke has disappeared, and his granddaughter Kozuki Hiyori has gone into hiding. The once vast Kozuki family is now reduced to just him, and his fate seems to be heading towards a dead end, just like that of this ancient country.

Time and life.

Compared to the desolate old man who looked like the twilight of his life, Yang Ming's side was like the rising sun, full of vigor and vitality.

Momousagi Gion and Yang Ming stood on a cliff, overlooking the earth-shaking changes that had taken place in the entire village of Meigashi. Her beautiful eyes shimmered, and she unconsciously leaned half of her weight on Yang Ming's shoulders.

"You little brat, you're something else! I never thought these short, ugly, and despicable Chinese people would have this side to them."

"I suppose this place will become prosperous soon?"

Momousagi Gion whispered a fragrant breath in Yang Ming's ear, tickling his ear. He could also feel the heavy weight on his shoulder and the softness within reach.

Yang Ming was already used to Momousagi Gion's temperament. He looked up at the group of unfamiliar martial artists arriving outside Amigasa Village, and a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"Don't underestimate humans."

"Humanity's true strength lies in self-change."

Chapter 228 Establishing a New World Co-Prosperity Sphere in Wano Country

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from One-Punch Man. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

A lottery wheel slowly appeared, with prizes divided into two types: monsters and heroes.

Monster: Monster cells, Nen ability, evolution...

Hero: Atomic Slash, Immortality, Devouring...

【Atomic Slash】: A sword slash capable of shattering atoms; an extremely skillful sword technique.

Yang Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

The Atomic Slash is a sword technique even more advanced than that of the great swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk. It is said that at its highest level, it can even cut everything in the world into the size of atoms.

A flood of insights into swordsmanship rushed into Yang Ming's mind, causing him to temporarily ignore the group of people arriving from outside Bianli Village.

Because of the recent settlement of Carrera and New Hope factory in Bianli Village, the villagers have cut down all the towering trees around the village to exchange for their daily necessities. Without any cover, a group of people can be seen approaching from outside the village, raising a cloud of dust.

Leading the group was a middle-aged man wearing a light blue wig tied in a bun, a white shirt underneath a dark blue kimono with swirling patterns, and a high-necked cloak draped over his shoulders, giving him a gaudy appearance.

The man raised his head, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fox-like wisdom as he surveyed the village of Bianli in the distance.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the man's ears are long and thin, and they don't twitch at all, as if he can hear the villagers talking in the distance.

"Today I cut down three towering trees and exchanged them for ten bags of rice and two pounds of beef. Tonight I can finally have a hot meal with my family!"

"Thank you, Lord Yang Ming. If it weren't for his appearance, my whole family would be starving."

"We really misunderstood Lord Yang Ming back then. If Lord Yang Ming had left back then, we wouldn't be living such a good life now."

"Yes, yes, Lord Yang Ming is truly our great benefactor!"

"By the way, have you all been listening to Lady Tina's lectures lately? She's been talking about the means of production and ownership of the means of production. Has anyone understood it?"

"It's obvious you haven't been paying attention in class lately. Come here and let me explain it to you in detail..."

Kyoshiro paused, a look of astonishment on his face.

He was naturally familiar with Bianli Village, a remote village located in Jiuli.

In fact, when he used to play the role of Ugly Boy at night, robbing the rich to help the poor, he had come here to help the local poor villagers so that they would not starve to death.

In Kyoshiro's memory, the villagers of Amigasa Village wove straw hats day and night just to earn a meager income in the city. They had difficulty even getting a bowl of porridge, let alone eating meat.

But now, what's going on?

Not only were they able to eat their fill, but they were even able to eat meat?

Could it be that all the villagers here have gone crazy from hunger?

"Kyoshiro, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with that village up ahead?"

Suddenly, a voice from someone nearby made Kyoshiro think back to himself.

Kyoshiro turned his head and looked over, a fleeting glint of cold light flashing in his narrowed eyes. He stared at a burly man dressed as a ninja in front of him and said with a forced smile:

"Hanzo, what do you think?"

Hanzo was short and fat, dressed in a yellow ninja outfit with shuriken patterns painted on both sides of his chest. He wore a mask that completely covered his face, revealing only his eyes. He also carried a strange weapon on his back, making him look formidable.

Hanzo belongs to the Orochi Oniwabanshu, a ninja unit directly under the Wano Country Shogun, and is under the command of the Wano Country Shogun Kurozumi Orochi.

Upon learning that some unknown changes had occurred in Amigasa Village, seemingly related to the Marine force that had intruded into Wano Country, Orochi dispatched Kyoshiro and Hanzo with a group of men to investigate.

Hanzo frowned slightly. He felt a mixture of disdain and resistance towards Kyoshiro, but given that Kyoshiro was a favorite of Orochi, he couldn't openly turn hostile, even if the man was sarcastic. He simply said indifferently:

"Kyoshiro, watch your tone. We are currently on a mission and need to gather intelligence on Amigasa Village immediately to report to the general."

"understood."

Kyoshiro casually waved his hand and continued forward.

Hanzo glanced at his retreating figure, not wanting to lose his temper, and led his men toward Amigasa Village.

When they arrived at the entrance of Bianli Village, they found that the place had undergone tremendous changes.

A cement wall was built around Bianli Village, with barbed wire strung on the high wall. A watchtower was set up close to the wall, where well-trained naval soldiers were stationed. They had already seen the group approaching through binoculars and notified their superiors to come.

Tina, now Yang Ming's adjutant, is extremely busy and has no time to deal with the petty thugs outside.

Momousagi Gion is a lieutenant general, and apart from Yang Ming, no one can command her, so she often lingers by Yang Ming's side.

The task of intercepting Kyoshiro and his group fell to Captain Ain.

Students graduating from naval academy generally start from the bottom, and Ain was no exception. He started as a private and rose through the ranks to captain in just one year.

If it weren't for Yang Ming's help, Ain wouldn't have had such an outrageous promotion speed.

A pair of long, slender legs encased in black fishnet stockings stood on the ground. The pure white navy uniform accentuated Ain's dashing figure. Beneath her bangs, her large, clear eyes gazed at Kyoshiro and his group, and she said:

"Who are you?"

The members of the Orochi Oniwabanshu were always arrogant and haughty, and Hanzo was no exception.

Seeing his group blocked outside the gates of Amigasa Village, and especially seeing the soldiers on the watchtower pointing their guns at him, Hanzo couldn't contain his anger and roared:

"You little brat, do you even know who we are?"

Ain didn't care who the other side was; her mission from Tina was to stop all lawbreakers from entering the village.

Slowly, he drew his sword, the blade reflecting Ain's delicate face, which was covered in frost as he coldly said:

"If you don't explain yourselves clearly, don't even think about setting foot in Amigasa Village!"

Kuina was working under Ain, alongside other soldiers. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught glimpses of Ain's impressive demeanor, and while feeling envious, she couldn't help but think to herself:

"When will I be able to be as outstanding as Sister Aien?"

On this vast ocean, if you want to make a name for yourself and achieve something great, you need not only your own hard skills but also connections.

Teacher-student, fellow townsman, classmate, comrade-in-arms, sworn brothers are among the most reliable relationships.

Within the Naval Headquarters, students who graduated from the Naval Academy naturally share a sense of closeness.

Ayn was a top student who graduated from the same class as Kuina, and since the two girls were about the same age, their relationship was naturally closer than that of others.

Seeing that Hanzo was about to make a move, Kyoshiro immediately raised his hand to stop him.

Hanzo glared angrily and roared:

"Kyoshiro, why are you stopping me?"

"Don't be impatient."

Kyoshiro carefully surveyed his surroundings. He was not a frog in a well like Hanzo. As an important member of the Nine Red Scabbards, he had traveled to countries outside Wano with Kozuki Oden when he was young, and he knew the strength of the Navy very well.

Generally speaking, soldiers in ordinary naval branches are privates first class, while elite naval soldiers are generally privates second class.

But the naval soldiers in front of us are completely different; they are all privates.

In addition, due to the fact that these naval soldiers have been practicing the Vajra Indestructible Boy Technique for many years, the male soldiers are burly and powerful, with skin that has a steel-like luster, and have developed a defensive power comparable to that of iron blocks, which is far superior to that of ordinary naval soldiers.

Although Kyoshiro couldn't discern the origins of these soldiers, he immediately recognized from their demeanor that they were an invincible army.

Only an army that has never suffered a defeat can cultivate such a spirited and vigorous army, each soldier standing tall and proud, with eyes as sharp as eagles, each one like a gleaming sword, sharp and unstoppable!

The soldiers were powerful, and even the female captain leading the team possessed a formidable aura. She even used Observation Haki to warn Kyoshiro that this seemingly cold-faced girl was probably not as simple as she appeared.

Kyoshiro's lips curled into an exaggerated smile that reached his earlobes, and he said:

"My lords, please don't take offense. We are here on the orders of the general and have no ill intentions."

After saying that, Kyoshiro took out a document from his pocket, which bore the general's seal of Kurozumi Orochi.

After reviewing the inspection documents, Ain's expression softened slightly, and she said calmly:

"You may enter Amigasa Village, but do not vandalize public property or assault or harm the villagers. Otherwise, you will be arrested and imprisoned in accordance with naval regulations."

Ain waved his hand, signaling his soldiers to let them pass.

Without saying a word, the group filed into the village.

Upon stepping into Amigasa Village, Hanzo couldn't help but complain:

"Kyoshiro, this is the Shogun's territory. Why are you making us look like thieves?"
