Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Sure," Kaido readily agreed.

In his plan, Wano Country was meant for his "son" Yamato, with Orochi only temporarily managing it for a few years. Now that his "son" has no chance of acquiring Wano Country, Orochi is no longer of any use...

but……

"Are there still any members of the Kozuki family?"

Although the Kozuki family was not completely wiped out back then, more than a decade has passed, and there has been no news whatsoever about Kozuki, neither people nor events...

"Yes, there are currently two direct descendants of the Kozuki family residing in Wano Country."

"Two people..."

Kaido grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth. "Impressive that two people managed to hide right under my nose for so long!"

King and Queen remained calm. Since their opponent had chosen to hide, it meant that their strength was not enough to threaten the Beasts Pirates, so the two paid no attention to it.

Especially now... Kaido has agreed to Fang Rui's request, and the two sides have gone from being enemies to having no connection whatsoever...

That's not quite right. To be precise, the Beasts Pirates and the Kozuki family are still enemies; the national and personal grudges are there for all to see.

Fang Rui suddenly became curious about how the story would unfold.

As for Jack, he wasn't thinking that much at all; his eyes were unfocused, as if he were in a daze...

"The two of them..."

Tenguyama Feiche also grasped the key points in Fang Rui's words, muttering to himself as if he were pondering something.

"I want to see those two people..."

The Kozuki family is small, and two small figures appeared in Kaido's mind who could be considered direct descendants and were still alive. He revealed a slightly unrestrained smile, wanting to see how much of Oden's style those two had.

"I have a feeling you have ulterior motives..."

Looking at Kaido's smile, Fang Rui had a feeling that this guy was up to something.

"Just curious..." Kaido's expression remained unchanged.

"Alright, since I'm here, you can't cause any trouble. I'll tell you then."

Upon hearing this, Kaido and the others' faces twitched. Although what you said is true, please tone it down and don't be so arrogant.

"The first person..."

As he spoke, Fang Rui patted Tenguyama Feiche on the shoulder a few times. Although Fang Rui had not finished speaking, Tenguyama Feiche had already guessed what he wanted to say. Immediately, his scalp tingled, and words of dissuasion were already on the tip of his tongue. Unfortunately, before he could speak, Fang Rui's words had already come out first.

"That's him, the previous shogun of Wano Country, Kozuki Sukiyaki. That name sounds delicious. Now you've met him."

"Whoa~" Upon hearing this, Kaido raised an eyebrow in surprise.

I thought it would be those two little guys, but it turned out to be someone else unexpectedly, a "dead man".

"Kurozumi Orochi is indeed unreliable."

Jin crossed his arms and gave a cold snort. He was a fool who could make mistakes in something like this. He was more of a idiot than a good person.

Quinn stared at Tenguyama Hitetsu, looked him up and down for a while, and then looked away. His strength was quite ordinary!

According to the usual pattern, when one's homeland is taken away, shouldn't one strive to improve oneself, cultivate one's skills, and then reclaim one's home?

Why are you so weak?!

As a member of the younger generation of the Beasts Pirates, Jack knew very little about what happened in the early days, but he did know a little about the strength of Kozuki Oden, after all, he was a formidable figure who left Kaido with an incurable injury.

Kozuki Oden, the son of the previous shogun, immediately brightened upon hearing that the shogun was present. After carefully examining Tenguyama Hitetsu for a moment, he bluntly remarked, "So weak~"

Tenguyama Hitetsu's lips twitched slightly. "Did I offend you because I'm weak?!"

"Who is the other person?" Kaido suddenly looked forward to Fang Rui's answer.

If Kozuki Sukiyaki is still alive, then what about Kozuki Oden?

"Kozuki Hiyori, the daughter of Kozuki Oden, is currently the courtesan of Wano Country, known as Komurasaki, the most beautiful woman in Wano Country. You should have met her before."

"Eh—!!! It's actually Xiao Zi!!!"

As a die-hard fan of Little Purple, Quinn's expression was extremely exaggerated, his eyes seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets, and his tongue was trembling like waves in his open mouth.

“Very interesting,” Jhin commented.

“Hiyori…” Tenguyama Hitetsu murmured.

Having satisfied his curiosity, Kaido immediately changed the subject: "The second thing, the timing of the attack on Mary Geoise?"

"Probably in about three months."

"It could be earlier or later."

Such a vague answer could not possibly satisfy Kaido.

"Isn't there a more accurate time?"

"not at all……"

Fang Rui shrugged: "Besides, you haven't even finished the first thing for me, so let's not think about the second thing for now."

"Tsk~" Kaido clicked his tongue. Between the two things, he preferred the second one.

"Quinn, Jack, go and gather the men, and recall all the men you sent out."

"Jin, come with me, let's go find Kurozumi Orochi together."

"Okay, Mr. Kaido."

After saying that, the group turned and left.

"Take all the pirates from outside the mountains away..."

Fang Rui called out, then turned to look at Tenguyama Hitetsu and said, "Mr. Hitetsu, let's continue the lesson..."

Tenguyama Hitsugu: "…………"

After calming down for a while, Tenguyama Hitsuchi continued to explain the knowledge of sea stone processing and knife forging.

Fang Rui listened attentively...

Chapter 216 Researching Devil Fruits

In the beginning…

When Denjiro saw Kaido emerge from the forest unharmed, he was quite disappointed. After all, Kaido's safety meant that there was no hope of overthrowing the Kurozumi family.

But when he saw Kaido rush into the Shogun's mansion, knock Kurozumi Orochi unconscious, and then carry Kurozumi Orochi back to the mountains near Amigasa Village.

Denjiro looked puzzled. Had they fallen out?

He originally intended to sneak into the mountains to investigate, but considering the strength someone had displayed, and Kaido who had come out of the mountains and gone to the Flower Capital with King, Denjiro, worried about Hiyori, immediately set off back to the Flower Capital.

In the mountains and forests, in front of the door of the big treehouse.

If Fang Rui hadn't stopped him, Tenguyama Hitsugu would have already shredded the black charcoal serpent.

"I'm very interested in Devil Fruits, especially Mythical Zoan types. Once I've finished my research, you can cut him down."

"Fine." Tenguyama Hitetsu said in a muffled voice, panting heavily and suppressing his anger.

"So……"

Fang Rui stared at the giant black charcoal snake lying on the ground. Red and blue illusory hands emerged from Fang Rui's shoulders one after the other, extending towards the giant black charcoal snake's chest and head respectively.

A blue, illusory hand pressed down on the head of the black charcoal serpent, beginning to probe its soul for any abnormalities.

A red, illusory hand pressed against the chest of the black charcoal serpent, examining the extent of its physical mutation.

Considering the need for a reference point, a blue illusory hand and a red illusory hand emerged from his shoulders, pressing down on Tenguyama Feiche's brow and chest respectively.

"There hasn't been much change in the soul aspect; it still looks human, but some things have mixed in."

"The physical changes are significant, vastly different from ordinary people. To put it bluntly, they are completely different species, worthy of further study..."

"Let's test the healing speed of injuries in human form first."

"Ah—" The black charcoal serpent glared angrily and let out a miserable scream.

"Let's test the healing speed of the half-beast form and the fully beast form... Hmm~ After transforming, the unknown energy suddenly became active, let's extract a little bit..."

"Ah—" Kurozumi Orochi continued to scream in agony, unable to make a normal sound.

"This is quite an interesting energy. I remember Vegapunk once successfully replicated a Devil Fruit, meaning that Devil Fruits can be replicated. He used scientific methods to replicate it, so I'll try another method..."

Because Fang Rui didn't hold back at all when examining Kurozumi Orochi's body, the pain that touched his soul and the pain that tore his flesh came at the same time, making Kurozumi Orochi's screams particularly powerful.

Terrified, Tenguyama Hidetoshi froze, cold sweat pouring down his face. He stared fearfully at the red and blue phantom hands, not daring to move an inch.

Ayu didn't even dare to look, closing her eyes and hiding behind Tenguyama Feiche.

While Fang Rui was researching Devil Fruit users, Kaido and King had already arrived in the Flower Capital. Both of them possessed the ability to fly and moved very quickly.

"Jin, the task of wiping out the members of the Black Charcoal Clan is entrusted to you."

"Okay, Mr. Kaido."

Jin had no objection to this and immediately headed straight for the general's residence.

Kaido, on the other hand, went to the pleasure quarters of the Flower Capital to find Hiyori Kozuki, who was using the alias Komurasaki. He had no other intention than to see her.

Unfortunately, due to a series of major events in the Flower Capital, many people have left the city and sought refuge in nearby villages and towns. Hiyori Kozuki was one of them, which is why Kaido was unable to meet her.

There were very few people loyal to Kurozumi Orochi to begin with, and even fewer of them had any real strength. Therefore, Jin quickly eliminated all of Kurozumi Orochi's remaining forces. As for whether any escaped, it was unclear.

After all, the Beasts Pirates didn't take the Kurozumi family seriously and knew very little about them.

"Let's have some people investigate this."

With that in mind, King immediately put his words into action, arranging for the pirate crew's intelligence agents to gather information about the Kurozumi family.

As soon as the mission was issued, detailed intelligence was already in his hands. The Beasts Pirates' intelligence personnel were quite competent. All forces and individuals who had contact with the Beasts Pirates had been investigated by the intelligence department, and the relevant information was stored in the warehouse.

Jin checked the information for a while and found a problem.

"Why are there more than twenty people..."

"Is this intelligence from several years ago?"

He took out his phone and repeated the tasks that had already been assigned.
