Onmyoji of the Grand Line

"Get up."

"Yes!"

The three stood up, but Kanjuro fell to the ground again, saying, "Young Master, I have failed your expectations! I let Kozuki Oden escape! How despicable!"

With anger flashing in his eyes, Kanjuro was extremely dissatisfied with his ineffectiveness. He was so dissatisfied that it was almost as if it were a joke. He had made all the preparations, but he still failed.

Seimei said calmly, "Kanjuro, there's no need to be nervous. This is not your fault. Kozuki Oden's escape was indeed due to our insufficient preparation. However, one Kozuki Oden doesn't mean anything. The Kozuki clan is now a thing of the past. From this day forward, Wano Country will belong to our Kurozumi clan."

"Yes!"

Kanjuro bowed respectfully before standing up again. Seimei then said, "Kanjuro, you will go with Semimaru to bring back the Kurozumi clan members. Remember! I do not want any harm to the Kurozumi clan members. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Kurozumi Semimaru and Kurozumi Kanjuro withdrew, and the two of them began to get busy again. They temporarily put aside this failure and threw themselves into a new mission.

Hei Tan Mu Chan praised, "Young Master! You have truly grown. Your control over all of this has become increasingly proficient. You have people's hearts completely under your grasp."

Seimei shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Semimaru and Kanjuro are both very remorseful. The two of them working together should have been able to stop Kozuki Oden from escaping without any problem. They just didn't expect that his retainers would choose to fight desperately to delay that one moment. However, this matter is nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter if we fail."

"It is also very important to help them gradually let go of their grief over Kozuki Oden in their new mission. After all, there are only a few members left in the Kurozumi clan, and we cannot afford any more accidents."

Seimei truly did not want the Kurozumi clan to continue to have problems. For him, apart from the shikigami summoned during the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), the only people he could trust were his own clansmen, the Kurozumi clan.

To manage the entire Wano Country, one still needs to rely on the Kurozumi clan. Otherwise, how can you expect to manage the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons)? Yoto Hime and Hakuro are fine as bodyguards, Fuuta is a thief, Yuki-onna is a kuudere (emotionless), and Kacho-maki is obsessed with paintings every day. As for the Amanojaku F4? They do nothing but fight and drink. And the rest, Orochi? Heh heh heh... he's just a comedian!

In this situation, are they even fit to govern Wano Country? It's utterly ridiculous! Unless they summon some kind of powerful being like Ōtakemaru, Suzuka Gozen, Indra, or Ashura!

These people have some management skills, but before that, how could you expect them to be anything more than a bunch of people who drink, fight, and cause trouble? That's simply absurd! Putting everything else aside, Orochi has only been summoned for seven days! Just seven short days!

Orochi has already started causing trouble. Although he has not completely left Wano Country, he has begun to stir up trouble in other countries near Wano Country, causing chaos in two small countries and creating fanatical followers who worship Orochi.

so!

Do you really expect a person who's good for nothing to do? That would be a complete joke!

"Hehehe~~~"

Kurozumi Musashi naturally saw Seimei's predicament and smiled, saying, "Young Master, you don't need to be so nervous. The old woman can still live for many more years and will definitely help you handle everything in Wano Country. Lord Orochi, Yoto Hime, and Yuki-onna have their own hearts, which is a good thing! Loyal people are not complete puppets, which is very important."

"I know."

Seimei nodded and continued, "Grandma Musashi, your health is not good. Even with the help of Hana-no-Maki to treat you, your body cannot continue to overwork."

Compared to Kurozumi Senmaru, a true near-general level powerhouse, and Kurozumi Kanjuro, who is in his prime, Kurozumi Higurashi's health is not particularly good. After all, he is quite old and has been working so hard, so it is very normal for his health to be poor.

As a result, it would be no exaggeration to describe Kurozumi Musashi's body as riddled with holes. Even with Hanabusa's treatment, her body was still in very poor condition.

"Hehehe~~~"

Kurozumi Musashi chuckled and said, "Young Master, you can rest assured. This old woman has survived all my life this way! Moreover, with Hanabusa's healing now, this old woman believes that I will definitely see you lead Wano Country to an even higher level in the future!"

"Really are……"

Seimei chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Grandma Muchan, your trust in me is actually a nerve-wracking thing for me! However, the hatred will continue. The four great families of Fengyue, Yuyue, Shuangyue, and Tianyue! All their members must be dealt with. Remember, leave no one alive, cut the weeds without leaving a trace! Even those family members living overseas must be found and dealt with."

"Yes!"

A terrifying killing intent flashed in Kurozumi Musashi's eyes. Repay evil with kindness? Don't be ridiculous! Seimei was never that kind of person. Since hatred has already been established, to prevent future hatred from continuing, then just sever it forever. Cut you all off completely, leaving no one alive. That way, the hatred will be completely severed.

"Secondly!"

Seimei continued, "Incorporate all schools within Wano Country into the Oni Corps and allow it to continue to grow. At the same time, select candidates within Wano Country and allow them to open dojos. We must control all the dojos. We allow all the major families to open dojos, but they must become our people."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

As Kurozumi Musashi listened to his young master's elaborate arrangements, his smile grew even wider. All the arrangements were incredibly comprehensive, as if everything had been taken into account. Because of this, the entire Wano Country would undergo a tremendous and earth-shattering transformation in a very short time.

Chapter 85: Whitebeard and Kozuki Oden

"Ha~~~"

"Ha~~~"

Gasping for breath, Kozuki Oden suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion. The next moment, almost instinctively, he stood up, muttering, "That's right! That's right! Wano Country... Wano Country..."

"Lord Goten!"

Izo weakly opened his eyes, looked at Kozuki Oden, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. Lord Oden was still alive, and... thinking of his companions Kin'emon, Denjiro, Kikunojo, Ashura Doji, Izo, and so on, he couldn't help but feel sorry for them. In addition, as for Kanjuro, who was a traitor, he hated him so much that his teeth itched.

"Um?!"

"The person is awake?!"

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

"The person is awake!"

"Gulala~~~"

The pirates around them saw that the two had woken up and immediately shouted loudly. Along with the shouts, a hearty laugh rang out. Kozuki Oden and Izo were both leaning weakly against the wall, their expressions not good, clearly due to exhaustion and fatigue.

At this moment, the two looked at the tall figure wielding a huge naginata and walking towards them step by step. Both of them were very calm. They had already come this far, and now that they were so weak, it would be only natural if they died.

Wearing a captain's coat and hat, with long blond hair and a white crescent-shaped beard like a string instrument, wielding the Murakumogiri, one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, and accompanied by that familiar loud laughter, this man has already walked over. It is none other than Whitebeard: Edward Newgate!

"Gulala~~~"

Edward laughed loudly and said, "You two, judging by your clothes, you don't look like normal people from the sea! Are you from Wano Country? I rarely see people from Wano Country on the sea!"

"Are they from Wano Country?"

"probably!"

"I'm not entirely sure either!"

"Ok!"

The pirates following Edward were all talking excitedly. They were all very curious: were these two people from Wano Country? The people following Edward were of varying ages, the youngest being only a few years old and the oldest only teenagers—a bunch of little brats!

This is Edward Newgate, who was searching for his family. After the Rocks Pirates disbanded, he retrieved the ship he had been building and embarked on a journey across the seas. Along the way, he encountered a series of orphans who became his adopted sons and members of the Whitebeard Pirates, which Edward had formed.

"Um?!"

Izang raised his head, looked at Edward, and said seriously, "Are you the daimyo here?"

"A famous name?!"

Edward sat down cross-legged without a care, rubbing his chin and said, "I am the captain here, or what you call a daimyo in Wano Country! But you two are really strong-willed! You survived being in the sea for several days. Your vitality and willpower are both very strong."

honestly!

Edward also found Kozuki Oden and Izo quite amusing. Two days ago, Marco, Jozu, Vista, and the other kids actually caught two people while fishing. If it were any other time, pirates wouldn't be a charity organization, so they would naturally just throw them back into the sea to feed the fish.

However, Edward became interested when he noticed that the two men's clothes seemed to belong to people from Wano Country. After all, Seimei was from Wano Country, and almost everyone in the Rocks Pirates was interested in this mysterious country. Under these circumstances, Edward decided to keep the two men with him.

According to the ship's doctor, the two men had almost reached their limit, and whether they could continue to live was almost uncertain. Their survival depended on their willpower. If they woke up, they would have survived. As it turned out, the two men did survive. After being unconscious for two days, they finally woke up.

"Thank you for your help!"

Having learned what had happened, Izang respectfully bowed in the manner of a scholar descending from his seat, and said, "If it weren't for your rescue, Lord Gotenko and I would have died forever in this icy sea. At that time, the hatred of the Kozuki clan would have been forever unfulfilled!"

"revenge?!"

Edward was taken aback and asked curiously, "If I remember correctly, isn't the Kozuki clan the shogun's clan of Wano Country? Are you being hunted down? Or is there some kind of rebellion in Wano Country?"

"Ugh?!"

"what?"

"oh?!"

Everyone crowded around. They were already interested in the fact that they were from Wano Country, and now that they heard there was something exciting to hear, they were even more interested. After all, they were pirates, and they were all very interested in banquets and joining in the fun. Everyone was very curious about what would happen next.

"Gulala~~~"

Seeing his sons gather around, Edward laughed and said, "You brats, behave yourselves! Sit down and listen. Sachi! Prepare some hot soup for them. Now that they've woken up, they don't want to freeze to death."

Although Sachi was still young, he had already begun to experience the work of a chef. He stood up and said with a smile, "Dad, don't worry! The dishes prepared by the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely not let our guests go hungry!"

"Thank you!"

Izo spoke respectfully, while Kozuki Oden remained silent, lost in a daze. From childhood to adulthood, Kozuki Oden had never experienced any setbacks. He possessed astonishing talent, coupled with his father's status and the care of everyone, including Shimotsuki Yasuie and Hana no Hyogoro, he grew up almost carefree. Under such circumstances, this situation was truly difficult for Kozuki Oden to accept.

Regardless of whether he could accept that what had happened, after drinking the hot soup like a machine, Kozuki Oden had no idea what had happened after he was knocked unconscious, and he was prepared to listen to what happened next.

"thanks for treatment!"

Izo put down his soup bowl and began to quietly describe what had happened in Wano Country. Of course, he could tell that the other party was interested in these things; otherwise, they would not have taken them in. Besides, the two of them were already in this state, so it didn't matter if they said it or not.

"Wow!"

Marco sat cross-legged atop a massive wine barrel. After listening to Izo's account, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Truly astonishing! To have completely taken control of Wano Country in just a few days... Kurozumi Seimei? No wonder he was Father's comrade!"

Vista agreed, saying, "Yes! Yes! All the preparations were absolutely perfect. From the very beginning, everyone was trapped in the cage the other side had set up, completely powerless to fight back."
