The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

The thought that she couldn't protect him filled her with immense guilt.

She understood perfectly well that with Gion and the others' help, everything she did would be in vain.

“I can take her with me when Momonosuke sends her away, and I can raise her afterwards. And all of this is only for the time being while you are still alive,” Gion smiled.

"Why should I live?" Tengetsu asked, slightly puzzled.

At this moment, she didn't have many suicidal thoughts, after all, things hadn't reached the point of being completely irreversible.

She was aware of what Kozuki Oden was doing outside, so it wasn't enough to cause a complete falling out.

"According to my prediction, if you die, Hiyori Kozuki will become extremely extreme, and then she will be worthless."

Gion's words were cold, but Toki Amatsuki seemed to understand, and her gaze towards Hiyori Kozuki became even more tender.

In this world, perhaps only Kozuki Hiyori truly cares about me.

Seeing Tengetsu's behavior, Gion smiled slightly and slowly left the room.

Having achieved her goal, she should now return to Luther's side.

Chapter 100 Orochi's Disdain

cabin.

When Luther returned, slightly exhausted, he received a message from Moria.

"Kaido left Onigashima with Queen and King, and notified all the Flying Six and the True Fighters to head to the Flower Capital... I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Luther chuckled softly.

In the City of Flowers, the biggest conflict is about to begin.

"Your Highness, shouldn't I make my move as well?"

Hearing a certain signal from Luther's words, Sakazuki rubbed his hands together, unable to contain his excitement to kill.

"Go ahead. Use this to block the Den Den Mushi signal on Onigashima. You can wipe out all the pirates there in one fell swoop. If there are any promising talents, you can keep them and hand them over to CP for training later."

"it is good!"

Sakazuki nodded, took the blocked Den Den Mushi from Luther, and left the cabin without hesitation.

He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

"It's time to wrap this up."

Luther stretched and muttered to himself.

At this point, it's about time to close the net.

In the Flower Capital, not a single one will escape.

"Your Highness!"

Not long after, Gion, feeling somewhat cheerful, returned to the cabin.

Gion blinked innocently as Luther squinted at her, then obediently knelt on the tatami mat.

Luther looked at Gion's docile appearance, like a little rabbit, and couldn't help but chuckle.

He walked to his side, shook his head, and then rested his head on Gion's very supple thighs, half-closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

Looking at Luther, who was slowly falling asleep in her arms, Gion couldn't help but smile gently.

Her delicate hand gently rested on Luther's head, softly relaxing it.

......

The City of Flowers, General's Mansion.

"It's you!?"

Kaido led King and Queen into the Shogun's mansion. When he saw Moria sitting casually next to Orochi, he exuded a dangerous aura.

Conqueror's Haki emanated from him, pressing directly towards Moria.

When Moria saw his enemy, he also sneered, his eyes widened, and a slightly weaker version of Conqueror's Haki appeared.

He was someone important once, how could he not have Conqueror's Haki?

His Conqueror's Haki was almost completely destroyed by Kaido, but the future that Rude described to him later allowed him to regain his strength.

He wanted to take back everything, including the share of his fallen comrades!

"Hehehe, Kaido, long time no see!"

Moria let out a chilling laugh, his gaze filled with hatred as he looked at Kaido and the others.

"Hmph, so what happened to Kozuki Oden? Was it you who launched a sneak attack?"

Kaido slammed his spiked club on the ground, and he began to understand what had happened with Kozuki Oden.

Moria was one of the stronger opponents he had encountered in the past two years. Although he won in the end, it was not an easy victory.

Given Kozuki Oden's foolishness, it's entirely possible that he could have been ambushed by Moria's Devil Fruit ability.

"Hehehe, that's right! It was I who crippled Kozuki Oden."

Moria readily admitted that this was the very reason he was currently with Orochi.

Even if Luther and the others were to make their appearance, they would have to wait until the entire plan was complete and everyone was trapped.

On the side, Orochi sat in the main seat, with his arms around two geisha, listening to their conversation with great interest.

He didn't know much about Moria's affairs; Moria had directly approached Kaido, and he only knew that such a thing existed.

Unexpectedly, Kaido actually quite approves of Moria.

But he must remember correctly, that woman ordered Moria around just like he ordered his servants.

Ha, Kaido really is a useless piece of trash...

Orochi's gaze toward Kaido unconsciously carried a hint of disdain.

Kaido could naturally feel Orochi's gaze, his brow furrowed, but his rationality prevented him from acting rashly.

In name, he and Kurozumi Orochi are collaborators, not subordinates.

Kurozumi Orochi not only has the righteous cause of Wano Country, but he has also now colluded with Moria, so he can still catch his eye to some extent.

Of course, what he fears most is that Kurozumi Orochi and Kozuki Oden join forces, in which case he would have no place to stand in Wano Country.

"Orochi, what did Kozuki Oden say?"

Kaido glanced at Orochi with disdain, but still asked for his opinion.

His visit to the general's mansion was at the invitation of the other party.

"Now that Kozuki Oden has been crippled, you and your men can just take care of them."

Kurozumi Orochi stroked his mustache and chuckled; his plan was far from simple.

Kaido will not be implicated in any karma for the people he kills.

Then, if the World Government kills Kaido, there will be no more obstacles to controlling the entire Wano Country.

Unfortunately, the future of Wano Country was no longer his concern.

However, Gion promised him that he would own 10% of Wano Country's future tax revenue, which is his motivation to work hard now.

"Good idea."

Kaido remained noncommittal, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

How could he not know what Kurozumi Orochi was thinking?

When he was suppressing the remnants of Kozuki Oden's forces, given his relationship with Moria, Moria wouldn't be able to sit idly by.

However, it's hard to say who the real mastermind is!

Moriah is nothing but a scoundrel!

Kaido remained calm and, after discussing the details with Orochi, left the shogun's mansion directly.

"Mr. Kaido, why don't we just kill Moria?"

As they left the general's mansion, Jin couldn't help but ask.

"Hmph, that rat in the shadows won't be easy to kill."

Kaido looked displeased, as if he was recalling past events.

In his opinion, Moria's strength was only average, and he could only hold out against him for a short while at most.

However, when it comes to the ability to escape, the Shadow-Shadow Fruit still has its unique advantages.

Jin looked enlightened and immediately followed up with the question:

"So, are we going to kill Kozuki Oden now?"

He didn't participate in the battle with Moria that time, so he didn't know much about Moria.

"It's a dark and stormy night for murder, but we still have to choose the home ground."

Kaido grinned and walked in a certain direction.

According to Kurozumi Orochi's intelligence, a woman close to Kozuki Oden is also hiding inside Wano Country.

Especially after being deposed recently, Kozuki Oden visited this woman even more often.

He prefers to defeat his opponents fair and square, but if he just wants to lure them out, he doesn't mind using some underhanded tactics.

Another conversation took place at the Shogun's mansion after Kaido left.

"It seems Kaido is preparing to make his move in the next couple of days," Orochi said with a sneer.

"Heh heh heh, given Kaido's personality, he'll definitely lure Kozuki Oden and his retainers to a place he's prepared, and then have a fair fight," Moria sneered.

"A fair and square contest?" Kurozumi Orochi frowned slightly. "With such a huge advantage, he should just rush into the Kozuki Mansion and kill everyone. Is Kaido out of his mind? He did the same thing 5 years ago!"

He was still somewhat resentful that Kaido had wasted five years of his life.

As it turns out, Kozuki Oden was not invincible, and in fact, he was nothing in the eyes of some powerful individuals.

Orochi hadn't forgotten that when Gion defeated Kozuki Oden, he didn't even have many injuries, and he only changed his clothes.
