One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Denjiro's samurai troops were on high alert and struggled to maintain order amidst the commotion.

On the high platform.

Kane, Yamato, and the daimyo of each village attended in their finest attire.

Yamato looked around excitedly: "Where's Hiyori? Hasn't she arrived yet?"

Kane sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "Soon, soon."

God knows why Yamato was so excited after finding out that Komurasaki was Hiyori.

Before, they saw each other almost every day.

"Of course it's different, she's Oden's daughter!"

Yamato was all smiles.

Although she no longer wanted to be Kozuki Oden, the appearance of Oden's daughter still gave her a strange feeling.

If it were the old her, she probably would have treated Xiao Zi like her own daughter.

"Who would have thought that the new shogun of Wano Country would prefer Oden to most of the country's people?"

Kane shook his head inwardly, then turned to Fu Lu Shou and instructed, "Time's up."

"Yes, Lord Kane."

Fu Lu Shou nodded respectfully, took a few steps forward, and loudly announced: "The knife presentation ceremony officially begins!"

There were still five minutes to go, but since Lord Kane had spoken, it meant they had arrived; it was just that the clock was malfunctioning.

"They're here, they're here."

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Everyone turned to look.

A stunningly beautiful young woman, accompanied by a tall merman, slowly walked towards the stands, carrying a long sword.

"It's Enma! Lord Oden's sword, Enma!"

"And there's Kawamatsu, one of the Nine Red Scabbards, and Kozuki Oden's most loyal subordinate!"

"That's not all! That girl looks so much like Lady Kozuki. She must be Princess Hiyori!"

……

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but everyone was saying that the two men were definitely Yi Dao's.

Weapons factory.

Tenguyama Hitetsu, who was organized to watch the live broadcast of the sword-offering ceremony, felt a pang in his heart, his old eyes filled with tears, and he murmured, "Hiyori...it really is you..."

Tou Shan, a village at the foot of the mountain.

Having learned of the news early on, Ashura Child hid in the shadows and watched the live broadcast with the villagers.

Even though he was prepared, he was still taken aback when he saw Kawamatsu appear.

Has the situation really come to this?

Rabbit Bowl Quarry.

The prisoners rarely get a half-day off to watch the live stream, but they would rather not have this rest.

"This must be fake!" someone shouted in despair.

Many more people looked ashen-faced, and the sound of sobbing as their faith crumbled filled the air.

Hyogoro's face was ashen, a sense of powerlessness washing over him. He no longer knew whether there was any point in continuing.

"Hahahaha, Kane's really something. He not only kills people, he also destroys their spirit!"

Quinn initially burst into laughter, but his laughter abruptly stopped when the camera zoomed in on Hiyori Kozuki's face.

"How could it be her? How could it be her! My little Zi~"

Let's return our perspective to the City of Flowers.

On the stage, Kane nodded secretly.

This time, To did a great job.

That's right, those who were the first to confirm Hiruzen's identity were actually ninjas in disguise.

After all, aside from the famous sword Enma, Hiyori Kozuki really didn't have any special tokens to prove her identity.

Fortunately, there was Kawamatsu, whose appearance is arguably unique in Wano Country; otherwise, the evidence would have been even weaker.

Just as Hiyori and the other person were about to approach the crowd, two loud shouts suddenly rang out.

"May the traitor be punished by Heaven!"

"Prepare to die, you traitor to the country, Hiyori Kozuki!"

A group of down-on-their-luck samurai, swords in hand, burst out from a corner and charged straight at Kozuki Hiyori.

"Princess, be careful!" Kawamatsu reacted instantly, drew his sword, and shielded Hiyori Mitsuki behind him.

The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out loudly, and he, alone with his sword, managed to block all the incoming blades!

On the high platform, Kane suddenly stood up, looked at the chaos below, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "It seems that I have been too mild all this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the once clear sky instantly turned colorless, with dark clouds churning up.

"Kawamatsu, take Hiyori and get out of the way!" Kane's voice rang out, barely containing his anger.

Kawamatsu was confused, but he still grabbed Hiyori and jumped away from the battlefield.

Just as they dodged away.

"Thunder!" Kane's voice rang out softly.

*Snap snap snap—!*

Dozens of lightning bolts tore through the sky and struck down, piercing each of the warriors who had suddenly risen up, guided precisely by Kane's Observation Haki!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The samurai immediately let out a series of blood-curdling screams.

Soon, they all fell silent, their bodies charred black, emitting a nauseating smell of flesh.

"Denjiro, go clean up the floor." Kane's cold voice reached Denjiro's ears.

"Yes!"

Denjiro dared not delay and immediately ordered his men to clean up the scene.

Kane casually waved his hand, and the thunderclouds receded like a tide, sunlight once again bathing the square, as if the apocalyptic scene just moments before was merely a dream.

"Lord Kane, your divine power is unparalleled!!"

Bai Wu was the first to recover from the shock, shouting in a trembling voice.

The other daimyo seemed to wake from a dream, cursing inwardly for this bastard stealing the credit too quickly, but verbally they hurriedly echoed, "That's right, it's simply a miracle!"

"That's enough." Kane interrupted their pointless praise and turned to Fu Lu Shou: "Continue."

"As ordered."

Fu Lu Shou received the order and directed his subordinates to continue the ceremony.

offstage.

Hiyori and the other person continued the ritual.

The warriors came and went in a hurry, without disturbing the ceremony.

Under the guidance of the samurai troops, the crowd quickly regained order and made way for Hiyori and Kawamatsu.

Hiyori took a deep breath, held Enma in her hands, and climbed the high platform step by step.

She slowly walked up to Yamato.

Yamato tried his best to keep a straight face and maintain the dignity of a general, but the curiosity and excitement in his eyes were almost overflowing.

"I am Hiyori Kozuki, daughter of Kozuki Oden."

Hiyori's voice was clear and solemn, echoing throughout the silent square: "Inspired by the benevolent name of the Yamato Shogun, I have come here to present my father's treasured sword, Enma, as a sign of my submission."

"Hmm~"

Yamato coughed a few times, suppressing his curiosity, and replied in a deep voice, following Kane's script: "As long as you sincerely accept my rule, you will be an ordinary citizen of Wano Country, and you can live here in peace."

Having said that, Yamato took Enma's scabbard, raised it high, and displayed it before the camera of the video Den Den Mushi, his gaze piercing as he solemnly declared:

"I, Yamato, swear in the name of the Shogun of Wano Country! As long as the remnants of the Kozuki clan sincerely repent and submit, I will forgive all their past transgressions!"

Chapter 50 Three Years Later

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was now the year 1517 of the Haiyuan calendar.

Ghost Island, topped with a skull.

Teacher Kai's mini-class is open for business again.

"Hehehehe! Come on, Kane!!"

Kaido's maniacal laughter shook the heavens, and the Eight Jade Rings in his hand, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, slammed down fiercely, the black and red Haki on the spiked club almost solidifying into a tangible form.

Kane was not to be outdone; his dragon claws instantly turned pitch black, and a similarly violent black-red aura coiled around them.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

"Dragon Claw!"

Two loud shouts tore through the sky.

The spiked club and the dragon claw are about to collide in the next instant!

But they didn't actually touch!

There seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two, and the violent and domineering auras collided and clashed fiercely within it, suddenly creating a small point that resembled a black hole.

The domineering lightning, now materialized, burst forth and raged in all directions.
