One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Whether we eat dry food or drink porridge these next few days depends on this moment.

As expected, the news of the giant snake's death immediately attracted the attention of the people.

"Give me one!"

A wealthy merchant, dressed in fine clothes, hurriedly tossed down a silver coin. Before the newsboy could give him change, he snatched the newspaper and began to skim through it.

The newspaper featured a large snake that had participated in the separate operations.

"The giant serpent is really dead? That piece of trash, that hundred gold coins of mine!"

Some people gritted their teeth in anger, while others wept with joy.

"Heaven has eyes! That bastard Orochi has finally gotten his comeuppance. Son, you can rest in peace now."

The simply dressed couple embraced and wept bitterly.

For a time, paper became scarce in the Land of Wa.

Jiuli, head mountain.

Head Mountain Thieves' Base.

"Big brother, big news!" A man dressed as a wandering samurai waved a tile in his hand and ran over quickly.

Ashura Doji, with his fluffy pink curly hair, rebuked, "Kawachi, how have I always taught you? You must have composure in the face of adversity; this is the quality a qualified samurai should possess."

"Big brother, but..."

Just as Kawauchi was about to explain, Ashura Doji interrupted him: "Take a deep breath and calm yourself down first."

Kawauchi had no choice but to comply.

After a while, Kawauchi, having calmed down, handed the tile to Ashura Doji and briefly reported: "The Beasts Pirates and Orochi are fighting amongst themselves. Orochi was killed by Kaido's daughter."

"What! Orochi is dead?"

Ashura Child was speechless and suddenly stood up. For a moment, he thought that the day of Lady Shi's prophecy had arrived.

"Kawachi, why didn't you tell me about something this important sooner!"

"Big brother, I..." Kawauchi looked aggrieved.

"Never mind, I'll be more careful next time." Ashura Doji waved his hand, snatched the tile from Kawauchi's hand, and began to browse through it.

On the board, at Kane's suggestion, Yamato is naturally portrayed as the embodiment of greatness and righteousness, while Kurozumi Orochi is the embodiment of all the negative aspects of humanity, including adultery, plunder, murder, and arson.

Most importantly, this wasn't Kane spreading rumors; Orochi really had done these dirty deeds, and Fukurokuju, as his trusted confidant, knew all about them better than anyone.

Otherwise, Kane wouldn't have been able to gather evidence of Orochi's crimes so quickly.

Consequently, Kaido's image was also beautified.

The claim that Lord Myo-ō opened the weapons factory to increase foreign trade revenue in Wano Country, and that the pollution and exploitation of workers were all due to Orochi's willful actions, even though Myo-ō himself tried to dissuade him, was completely ignored by Orochi as the shogun...

In conclusion, the King of Light's original intention was good, but Orochi carried it out incorrectly.

"Nonsense!" Ashura Child roared in fury.

Others may not know, but does he not know Kaido's character?

Expecting him to have compassion for the people is like hoping for a windfall.

After his initial outburst of anger, the man, who had previously been known for his explosive temper, had no choice but to sit back down.

Even if he knew the truth, so what? He couldn't defeat Kaido. It was all just talk. All he could do was take care of his brothers and accumulate strength to wait for the day of prophecy.

The most terrifying thing is not the Beasts Pirates' fighting power.

Ashura Child keenly noticed a new name—Kain.

In the version of the game, Kane is just a tool to help Yamato eliminate Kurozumi Orochi, but Ashura Doji, who has dealt with the Beast Pirates for many years, notices something unusual.

For the past ten years, the Beasts Pirates have never thought about clearing their name.

Was it a coincidence, or was it intentional?

If it's the latter, then that's terrible.

This means that the Beasts Pirates are no longer just passing through, but are going to take root in Wano Country.

The difference in the difficulty of eradication is like night and day.

If things continue like this, will the deceived people of Wano Country still accept the Kozuki clan ten years from now?

Kawauchi stepped forward at the right moment and comforted him, "Brother, no matter what, the fact that Kurozumi Orochi is dead is good news."

"You're right, let's have a banquet tonight."

Ashura Doji put on a smiling face; as the leader, he couldn't show any signs of dejection.

three days later.

The Great Serpent City—or rather, it should now be renamed General City.

After three days of continuous cleaning and repair work, General City has been largely restored.

Before noon, the daimyo of each village had already arrived with their samurai and followers.

Since it concerns the selection of the new shogun of Wano Country, they have no choice but to be proactive.

Originally, the shogun of Wano Country was always a member of the Kozuki clan, but Kurozumi Orochi's scheme broke this tradition.

Now, the Kozuki clan has disappeared, and the Kurozumi clan has no successor.

The position of general should naturally be chosen from among the five daimyo.

Therefore, the five famous figures have been forming alliances and engaging in frequent actions over the past three days, frantically campaigning for votes while simultaneously undermining other famous figures.

They also knew that the true ruler of Wano Country was the Beasts Pirates, and the Guardian King Kaido.

But so what? As long as I can become a general, what's wrong with being Kaido's dog?

Inside the main hall.

Yamato was forced by Kane to kneel in the main seat.

Yamato, who is naturally active, was very unaccustomed to it, feeling as if ants were crawling all over his body.

"Kane, I'm so tired~" Yamato pouted.

With a snap.

Kane slapped Dahe's restless feet and said sternly, "Don't move around. Just get through this period."

The Oniwabanshu standing nearby kept their eyes down, trying their best to minimize their presence so as not to disturb the two lords' enjoyment.

Fukurokuju walked in and knelt on one knee: "Lord Kane, Lord Yamato, and all the daimyo of the villages have arrived."

"Yes, let them in." Kane said calmly, without any embarrassment about giving orders on behalf of Yamato.

Fu Lu Shou, unfazed by the situation, accepted the order and left.

If Kaito is the man behind Wano Country, then Lord Kane is the man behind the Yamato Shogun.

Soon, Fu Lu Shou led a group of people into the hall.

The five daimyo at the head of the group were immediately drawn to Yamato, who sat in the main seat, and the Oniwabanshu behind her.

Why is the person sitting in the main seat a pirate?

Why did those Oniwabanshu (Imperial Guards) appear so submissive?

The five daimyo immediately had a bad feeling.

"Please be seated, everyone."

Kane took in the expressions of the daimyo and sneered inwardly.

Today is a trap.

After the five daimyo sat down, Kane introduced Yamato directly, saying, "As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without a head for a day."

The reason I've invited you all here today is to elect the new Shogun. The candidate nominated by the Protector of the Nation is none other than Lady Yamato. Please vote.

Following Kane's instructions, Yamato straightened his back and put on a stern face, trying his best to appear dignified.

Glancing at Yamato's unnatural expression, the daimyo of Suzugo tentatively asked, "Are there any other candidates?"

Kane smiled calmly: "No, the Beasts Pirates only have one candidate they are willing to acknowledge, and that is Ms. Yamato."

The expressions of the five daimyo changed simultaneously.

This is outrageous! Don't they even care about their private dealings?

You could at least give us a lousy candidate to choose from.

Bai Wu, known for her volatile temper, immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "With only one candidate, how are we supposed to choose? Do we even have a choice?"

“Of course,” Kane said calmly. “You can choose to refuse.”

"I refuse..."

Before Bai Wu could finish speaking, hope Mei, who was on good terms with him, quickly covered his mouth and said with an embarrassed smile, "He's not very bright; he misspoke just now."

"A person with a mental disability needs treatment."

Kane turned to look at Fu Lu Shou and smiled, "I think we should let Daimyo Bai Wu take a sick leave. His position as Daimyo is just... just..."

"Let him come," Kane said casually, pointing to a fawning samurai official behind the White Dance daimyo.

"I have been promoted by Lord Shekian. I, Nomura Ichiro, swear to serve the Yamato General to the death."

The samurai was not stunned by the sudden offer; he immediately jumped out and pledged his loyalty to Yamato, fearing that if he was too late, the position of daimyo would vanish.

The samurai who followed the daimyo in were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

If becoming a daimyo is so easy, why didn't Lord Kane choose me just now?

The daimyo of Hakumai was furious; he had bribed Kurozumi Orochi with three thousand gold coins to obtain his daimyo position.

In just a short while, my position was gone?

Seeing that things were going badly, Nozomi hurriedly whispered in his ear, "Forget it, you can't fight city hall. I'll only help you this once. If you want to cause trouble again, I won't help you anymore."

As he spoke, Nozomi gave him a look, signaling him to be careful of the samurai guards behind him.

The original warriors of General City need not be mentioned, but even the guards they brought are now looking at Bai Wu Da Ming with eager anticipation.
