The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Several tens of minutes later, Absalom brought Momonosuke to a private residence in Oden Castle.

"That sir lives here?"

Momonosuke looked up and down at the simple dwelling, somewhat uncertain.

"Ha...mind your own business!"

Absalom simply pushed the door open gently.

As soon as the simple wooden door was pushed open, an invisible aura pressed down on him, making it hard for Momonosuke to breathe.

"You are Kozuki Momonosuke?"

A gentle female voice came from inside the door, and only then did Momonosuke feel that the pressure on him had dissipated considerably.

But at the same time, he felt a slight blurring in his vision, as if the scenery before him had changed somewhat, yet it also seemed unchanged...

He took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and walked shakily through the wooden door.

What came into his view was a simple tea table, and sitting at the head of the table was a handsome man, whose temperament and appearance were the best Momonosuke had ever seen.

Beside the man, kneeling, sat a woman of unparalleled beauty and graceful figure.

Upon seeing such a stunning beauty, Momonosuke subconsciously revealed a lecherous expression.

But the moment that expression appeared, it was met with a cold, sharp look from the woman.

It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head. Momonosuke instantly felt a chill run through his body, a chill that went straight to his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"M-Master! I am Momonosuke!"

Momonosuke stammered a dry laugh, standing there somewhat at a loss.

But he behaves quite differently in front of others.

Moria sat in the shadows, glancing with some surprise at Momonosuke who was talking to thin air. When his gaze fell on Gion's back, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Robin, sitting to the side, secretly swallowed.

She knew this ability; it was the Vampire Fruit's power to cause hallucinations through sound.

Normally, this ability is quite useless. The illusion is not particularly realistic. Unless one is completely delusional, a normal adult can see through the illusion.

Only when facing an 8-year-old child like Momonosuke can it achieve a truly lifelike effect.

Robin, however, had no idea what Momonosuke had experienced in the illusion.

I told her to fill in the gaps, but I can't see anything...

Robin inwardly grumbled, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's just Momonosuke, it's generally in line with Luther's plan, and there won't be any changes.

"That's right, I will live! I will become the Shogun of Wano Country!!!"

Suddenly, Momonosuke let out a wild shout, even collapsing to the ground, panting heavily.

Robin was puzzled, but at the same time, she couldn't help but be curious about Gion's intentions.

Based on her understanding of Gion over the past few years, Gion rarely cared about anything other than Luther, improving strength, and enjoying life.

This seems to be the first time that someone has interfered in Luther's plans.

Immediately afterwards, Robin saw Gion smile, while Momonosuke nodded solemnly, bowed to the air, and strode away with great pride.

"Absalom, take Momonosuke back."

As Gion's calm voice rang out, Absalom sprang to his senses and followed Momonosuke without a second thought.

He had no idea what had just happened, but he guessed that Momonosuke had been completely controlled by Gion.

He felt immense awe at his boss's ability.

"It's an illusion ability!"

After Absalom and Momonosuke left, Moria spoke with certainty.

"Just some little tricks."

Gion gave a slight laugh, her emotionless gaze sweeping over Moria:

"Report to me immediately if there is any news about Momonosuke."

"Hehehe, I understand!"

Moria didn't refuse; he had already foreseen the possibility of Kaido's demise and was willing to do anything for him now.

Gion nodded slightly, slowly sat up, and walked directly outside.

On the way to Rudd, Robin couldn't help but ask:

"Um... Gion-neechan, what exactly did you promise Momonosuke? Did you promise to make him the shogun of Wano Country?"

Based on Momonosuke's previous words, she could only see the surface of the situation.

“I used an illusion to let him see His Highness, and promised him the position of general in His Highness’s voice. This should not affect His Highness’s plans.”

Gion looked at Robin with a warning in her eyes.

"Absolutely not. According to Uncle Luther's original plan, he was to secretly control Momonosuke and make him the country's nominal general."

Robin patted his chest and repeatedly hinted to the other party that he would not inform on Luther.

In public affairs, she unconditionally supported Luther.

But if it's about internal affairs, she'll definitely side with Gion!

"Then everything should be fine. I believe that Momonosuke's sincerity will satisfy His Highness!"

Gion let out a light laugh, the wickedness in her laughter making Robin involuntarily shrink back.

She didn't know what Gion and Momonosuke talked about, but she had a feeling it wasn't anything good.

Chapter 84 Momonosuke's Fantasy

Meanwhile, Momonosuke quietly returned to the Oden residence with Absalom.

Back in his room, Momonosuke's face was still burning hot.

He rubbed his hands together, occasionally letting out lewd laughs.

Absalom's lips twitched slightly; Momonosuke's current appearance was simply unbearable to look at.

He ignored Momonosuke and quietly left.

Since Gion doesn't want him to know the specifics, asking too many questions will only cause problems.

"The shogun of Wano Country... can have a different older sister every day, and everyone in Wano Country has to obey my orders!"

Momonosuke's mind was filled with fantasies about becoming the shogun of Wano Country.

These fantasies felt so real, as if they were meant to be, and they surfaced in his mind.

There are instances of him sleeping in the same bed with dozens of beautiful actresses, and of him playing in the water with several beautiful older women while taking a bath.

When he walks down the street, everyone kneels down before him.

He sat in the position of shogun of Wano Country and issued an order for the people of Wano Country to offer up their daughters to serve him as a maid.

"No, no, I can't let my imagination run wild."

Momonosuke shook his head, a rare glint of wisdom appearing in his eyes:

"I want to become the Shogun of Wano Country! I want to turn my dreams into reality! But I can't do it alone; I need to give back to that lord, otherwise, he'll be doomed if he supports someone else..."

He no longer has much hope for Kozuki Oden.

If they told the other party that Kurozumi Orochi was suspicious, and Hyogoro's family could still be wiped out, then no matter how useless they are, they shouldn't have done that.

It is said that Hyogoro died tragically in front of Kozuki Oden, and Momonosuke was stunned when he heard the news.

Who knows, he might die in front of Kozuki Oden one day.

Whenever he thought about this, he felt restless.

As for whether Luther could help him become the Shogun of Wano Country, he didn't give it much thought.

That's the world government!

He was born on the high seas and is quite knowledgeable about some aspects of world government affairs.

The World Government governs more than 100 countries, many of which are more powerful than Wano Country.

In the eyes of the World Government, Wano Country is nothing at all.

"But... what benefits should I offer that person..."

"Give it to a beautiful woman? No way, no way! All the beautiful women of Wano Country are mine!"

"Money? That guy doesn't lack it!"

He scratched his head in frustration, unable to think of anything to give.

"What money? Is there something you need, Momonosuke?"

Lady Kozuki's gentle voice accompanied her graceful figure as she appeared.

Momonosuke was startled when he heard the voice behind him.

He quickly turned around and saw his mother's graceful figure, which made him even more frightened.

"Oh, Mother, what did you just hear?"

"Are you talking about money and that person? Is there something you need?"

Lady Kozuki knelt beside Momonosuke, looking at him tenderly.

"Mother, it's nothing..."

He instinctively wanted to brush it off, but then something occurred to him, so he changed his approach and asked:

"Mother, if becoming the strongest warrior can be achieved by taking someone as my master, what should I offer to earn their consent?"

He didn't dare mention the shogun of Wano Country, and instead said he was the strongest samurai.

Becoming the strongest samurai in Wano Country is the dream of almost every child there.
