Onmyoji of the Grand Line

Midori stood at the doorway, quietly watching the Kozuki Sukiyaki, and said calmly, "General Kozuki, Lord Seimei requests your presence!"

"Seimei?!"

Upon hearing the name, Kozuki Sukiyaki pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something. Her expression sharpened, and her face turned unusually grim. If it really was that person, then everything would be completely different.

Snapped!

Snapped!

But at this point, Kozuki Sukiyaki had no choice but to obediently follow them into the room. Fukurokuju wanted to make a move, but he could clearly feel that there was a pair of eyes watching him in the darkness, and that if he made any move, his life would be taken away instantly.

Kozuki Sukiyaki obediently entered the room and saw the figure of a young man sitting in the main seat. Perfect! Handsome! Charming! Elegant! Noble! Such qualities were on full display.

"Okay!"

Kozuki Sukiyaki couldn't help but admire him. At the same time, he was also thinking that if Kozuki Oden were like this young man, he could have retired long ago and handed over the position of shogun to Kozuki Oden. Unfortunately, at this moment, Kozuki Sukiyaki's expression was sharp and filled with a solemn look.

"General Kozuki".

"first meet."

With a smile on his face, Seimei unfolded his folding fan and looked at the man in front of him with a very deep smile. His dignified demeanor made it impossible to tell that the two were clearly enemies fighting to the death.

Before Seimei lay the head of Hana no Hyōgor. Yoto Hime and Kurozumi Hōchō stood beside Seimei, quietly observing everything before them. Kozuki Sukiyaki stopped in her tracks, also silently watching what was happening.

"Qingming!"

"..."

Kozuki Sukiyaki hesitated slightly before saying, "Ten years ago! During the purge of the Kurozumi clan, I learned that not many members of the Kurozumi clan had escaped. I didn't pay much attention to the illegitimate sons of the main family and the branch families. In the end, the only legitimate son who survived was also the biggest threat, Kurozumi Seimei. He was only five years old at the time."

"but!"

“I remember very clearly that when Niuwan came back, he said that the boy’s eyes showed no fear, not even hatred, only endless indifference and calmness. I knew that if he hadn’t died, he would have been the biggest threat.”

"only……"

Kozuki Sukiyaki looked intently at Seimei and said seriously, "I never expected that you would stand before me in just ten years, and even possess such terrifying power, killing Hana no Hyogoro without me noticing."

"Hehehe~~~"

Seimei smiled and said, "General Kozuki, you are right. I am the eldest son of the Kurozumi clan, Kurozumi Seimei. I am also here to seek revenge on you and take back Wano Country."

Of course! Seimei was secretly admiring him. This was a general who could rule Wano Country and wipe out the entire Kurozumi clan. He was outstanding in every aspect, from his methods and temperament to his actions. He was far superior to Kozuki Oden.

It's fair to say that Kozuki Sukiyaki is an absolutely qualified manager. However, he was only briefly mentioned in the original story. If he were to demonstrate even more outstanding abilities, this person would undoubtedly become even more astonishing!

"revenge!"

"The country of Wano..."

Kozuki Sukiyaki calmly shook his head and said, "It's a meaningless matter. You are very strong, and your followers are also very strong, but! This is meaningless. You must be very clear that if the position of Shogun is not recognized by me, then the people of Wano Country will absolutely not recognize it."

"Justice!"

"That is the foundation of Wano Country!"

"Hehehe~~~"

Seimei smiled and said easily, "Of course I know very well that you, General Kozuki, will personally pass the position of Shogun of Wano Country to me, and I will become the acting Shogun of Wano Country. In the position of acting Shogun, the daimyo of various places will stop the resistance army, and I will destroy them and become the new Shogun."

"Um?!"

Hearing Seimei's very natural words, Kozuki Sukiyaki's expression was not particularly pleasant, especially when he saw Kurozumi Mujou's body gradually transforming into his own appearance, his expression became even more unpleasant.

"Hehehe~~~"

Kurozumi Higurashi gave a witch-like laugh and said eerily, "This is the power of a Devil Fruit! And I, this old woman, am a Paramecia-type Imitation Fruit user. I suppose that having such an ability is enough for everyone in Wano Country to know."

"..."

At this moment, Kozuki Sukiyaki truly felt fear. Simply resisting would be meaningless, because Wano Country is a place that upholds righteousness, and you want to rule Wano Country properly.

Then you need to gain the approval of Kozuki Sukiyaki. This is why, despite Kurozumi Orochi's madness, few people resist him. Besides the fact that the Kozuki clan is no more, Kurozumi Orochi's position as shogun was personally granted by Kozuki Sukiyaki! In that case, Kurozumi Orochi is the shogun, and no one can refute that.

"Hehehe~~~"

Seimei smiled faintly, "General Kozuki, your story ends here. After all, for me, having you under my control, the price I need to pay next is just a matter of course."

"asshole!"

"you!"

Snapped!

Snapped!

Huang and Hong immediately pinned Kozuki Sukiyaki to the ground. Fukurokuju was about to make a move when his face turned extremely ugly. He realized that he was being targeted and that if he dared to move, he would be pierced through the heart by an arrow.

"Keep a close watch on General Kozuki and make sure nothing goes wrong. Granny Musashi, gather the samurai of the Mikai Group and take over all the positions in the entire Flower Capital. Oh, and have the Oni Corps sweep through the area. Those who refuse to submit, deal with them all."

"Yes!"

Following Seimei's order, Kurozumi Musashi immediately went to deal with the situation, while Kozuki Sukiyaki was knocked unconscious. Yellow and Red had already taken Kozuki Sukiyaki away, leaving only a few people in the room.

Aside from Green standing at the door and Yaodao-hime standing behind Seimei (Zhao Haohao), only Fukuroku Shou-kai remained.

Seimei's gaze fell upon Fukurokuju, and he smiled as he said, "Fukurokuju, what choice will the Oniwabanshu under your command make?"

Fortune, prosperity, and longevity!

This is a very intelligent person. Seimei was very interested in Fukurokuju. He managed all the ninjas in Wano Country, and these ninjas were almost all under Fukurokuju's command. If Fukurokuju was willing to obey, he could immediately incorporate a large number of Oniwabanshu ninjas into his ranks.

Of course, Fukurokuju is also a fence-sitter, but Seimei doesn't dislike such fence-sitters. As long as one has great power, controlling these fence-sitters is a piece of cake.

For such opportunistic and equally clever people, regardless of what the future holds, if Fu Lu Shou (福禄寿) obediently follows orders at this stage, it can indeed save a lot of trouble.

As for what will happen to this opportunist in the future? Seimei! He has absolute confidence that he can perfectly control opportunists like Fukurokuju, so now it's Fukurokuju's turn to make a choice.

"Master Harumi!"

Fukurokuju knelt respectfully in the manner of a samurai, and said humbly, "I am willing to lead the Imperial Guards to submit to Lord Seimei!"

Chapter 80: Acting General? Local lords are shocked!

Overnight.

The entire Flower Capital is now under Seimei's control. At this moment, Wano Country is like a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty. The Flower Capital is not powerful; the real power lies with the daimyo. However, the benefits of controlling the Flower Capital are terrifying.

in particular……

"Did you hear that?"

"what?"

"General Kozuki is in poor health and has handed over the position of acting general to Kurozumi Seimei, a descendant of the Kurozumi clan!"

"how could it be possible!"

"Weren't the Kurotan clan expelled back then?"

"I do not know!"

"Is this true or false?"

"General Kozuki personally certified it, so it must be real!"

"This……"

Everyone in the Flower Capital was completely bewildered. To be precise, they simply couldn't believe it. What was the reason behind this? Or rather, how could Kozuki Fukurokuju have made such a choice? He was the one who attacked the Kurozumi clan back then, and now he's handing over the position of acting shogun to the Kurozumi clan. What on earth is going on here?

Everyone was utterly bewildered. Of course, while bewildered, no one resisted. This was the point made at the beginning: Wano Country believed in righteousness, and for Wano Country, as long as they obediently followed orders! Hmm~~~

In other words, as long as it is something the previous general truly approves of, then as the general, no one will oppose you. And this news spread far and wide in a short period of time, reaching the entire Wano Country.

Jiuli! Nozomi! White dance! After the bell! Rabbit bowl!

All five regions have received the news, but their reactions differ. They all find it very strange—what exactly happened? Or rather, what is going on?

"This is……"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru stared at the appointment in his hand, his brows furrowing in disbelief. He muttered, "Impossible! The General would never make such a decision, but..."

"Ushimaru-sama!"

"Everyone saw it. General Kozuki personally handed over the position of acting general to Kurozumi Seimei. And we have also found out that this Kurozumi Seimei is the direct descendant of the Kurozumi clan who escaped ten years ago."

"I see!"

"Prepare the car!"

"Head to White Dance!"

"Yes!"

At Shimotsuki Ushimaru's command, the samurai immediately began to busy themselves. Shimotsuki Ushimaru stood up, gazed into the distance, and said with a serious expression, "It seems that Wano Country has indeed undergone tremendous changes. However! The other side has the moral high ground. If we act rashly, the problem will become very troublesome."

……

"How can it be?!"
