The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

After that, Sakazuki slowly led Yamato to wander around Onigashima, killing pirates who tried to hide one by one.

Both of them enjoyed the process.

Sakazuki enjoys the thrill of killing pirates, while Yamato is happy because she helped Luther.

Chapter 103 The Conversation with Kozuki Oden

Two days later.

Inside the Kozuki Mansion in the Flower Capital.

"Kaido! You bastard!!!"

Kozuki Oden's powerful voice echoed throughout the mansion; even people walking on the street could hear his resonant voice.

"Damn it, kidnapping a woman, what kind of man are you!"

His face was full of frustration. If he hadn't lost his hands, he would have punched the ground a few times.

"Lord Oden, it is our fault!"

Kin'emon knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground, his face filled with remorse.

"If we had protected Shinobu, none of this would have happened."

"This has nothing to do with you, I must rescue Shinobu!"

Kozuki Oden's face was filled with rage.

Kaido did such a thing, even leaving a letter telling him to go to the Wilderness of Shinobu, otherwise he would only find Shinobu's corpse.

This blatant kidnapping doesn't seem like a sign of keeping one's promises.

At this point, Kozuki Oden had completely given up hope, because with his arm severed, Kaido and Orochi would never keep their promise.

Since that's the case...

Kozuki Oden's expression kept changing as he looked at the Den Den Mushi on the table next to him, his face full of hesitation.

He considered it absolutely shameful to have to ask for foreign aid in his own country.

And there's something very crucial: the only safe passage from Wano Country to the outside world, Submarine Port, is in the hands of Orochi, and it seems the people he's invited won't be able to arrive anytime soon.

Blu! Blu!

Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi in front of him rang, startling Kozuki Oden.

Very few people know about this Den Den Mushi anymore.

At his prompting, Kin'emon fiddled with the Den Den Mushi for a while, then connected it.

The Den Den Mushi slowly transformed into a man's face. Looking at this unfamiliar face, Kozuki Oden frowned.

"who are you?"

"Kozuki Oden? It seems I didn't come to the wrong person."

A male voice came through the Den Den Mushi, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar to Kozuki Oden.

“It’s me. Your voice sounds familiar. Who are you?” Kozuki Oden asked in a deep voice.

A stranger calling at this time is definitely not a friend, but an enemy.

"You must have a bad memory, Kozuki Oden."

Jiuli, Momonosuke's mansion.

Luther chuckled and half-reclined on the tatami mat. Beside him, Tengetsu sat upright, her face slightly flushed, exuding a seductive charm, and her clothes were somewhat disheveled.

Meanwhile, Gion knelt by the wall, seemingly engrossed in watching a good show. Judging from her pleased expression, she appeared to be enjoying the spectacle.

"Fine, here's a reminder: do you remember your severed arms?"

Upon hearing these words, Kozuki Oden's dead memories suddenly returned, and he exclaimed in surprise, his expression hardening:

"It's you! That madman who cursed me in the street!"

"That's a really nice name."

Luther chuckled, never expecting to be seen this way by Kozuki Oden.

but...

Not far away, Tianyue Shi cast a pleading glance, picked up a cherry tomato with her slender, fair hand, half-kneeled on the ground, and fed it to Luther with her fingertips.

It wasn't actually Luther's idea to make this call.

Instead, it was Amatsuki Toki who, after learning that Kaido had gone to the Flower Capital, went to Gion for help.

The reason why Toki did this was actually because she wanted to do one last thing for Kozuki Oden, after which the two would have no further connection.

Kozuki Oden never inquired about these people's situation, which completely disheartened her.

It's obvious that after Kozuki Oden's arms were cut off, many people who disliked him before would definitely cause trouble for him.

Now all the retainers have been transferred away, and they are still completely unprotected.

If it weren't for Luther's secret protection, Toki Amatsuki probably would have been captured and played with by others long ago.

Seeing Amatsuki's expression, Luther could roughly guess what he was thinking, and he was happy to facilitate this, so his expression became slightly more serious:

"Kozuki Oden, you should know that Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi are targeting you."

"You're not one of Kurozumi Orochi's people?"

After learning who it was, Kozuki Oden sat cross-legged on the ground with a nonchalant air, his voice becoming much calmer.

Although he owes his current appearance almost entirely to Gion, he actually quite admires her.

Even if he's not as skilled, he can still afford to lose.

"Kurozumi Orochi is not worthy of being my person. You should know why he is so badly injured."

Luther smiled, seemingly unconcerned about deepening the hatred between the two.

However, Kozuki Oden was an oddball; although his voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, it wasn't because of his missing arm:

"Hey, it's just a small matter. It's a tradition in Wano Country. When you come to Kuri, I'll make sure to treat you well."

"This... I guess we don't need to."

Luther glanced at Tengetsu, whose face was pale and whose eyes were filled with anger, with pity, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her pretty face.

The feeling of wanting to save someone but getting betrayed is thrilling just to think about.

Especially since these words came from the mouth of someone who was once closest to you.

"Yes, yes, as long as... hehehe!"

A lewd and carefree laugh came from Kozuki Oden's side, causing the three people in the room on Luther's side to show expressions of disgust.

People like that deserve to go to hell.

However, since Tianyue had already received the payment in advance, and adhering to the principle of keeping his promise, Luther still said:

"Let's not talk about this anymore. If you don't want your legs to break too, let's talk about Kaido instead."

"Oh, never mind then."

Seeing that the other party wasn't interested, Kozuki Oden gave up and also remembered his important business:

"My woman has been captured by Kaido. If you can help me this time, that would be wonderful!"

He then gave a brief account of the situation.

"Your woman? Not the one in Jiuli?"

Luther raised an eyebrow and asked the question, then felt Amaterasu's cold gaze.

"Ah, another one! Another one! How can a real man have only one woman!"

Kozuki Oden's voice was playful, and he made no mention of Amaterasu Toki in his words.

"Tsk, I must say, as expected of you."

Even though they were both scoundrels, Luther couldn't help but marvel at what he had just heard.

He probably could never learn that kind of nonchalant attitude of treating women like clothes.

"Haha, let's get down to business. Someone like you must need something, right? Tell me, what do I need to give in return?"

Kozuki Oden asked the crucial question.

He didn't doubt Gion and Luther's abilities, but he needed to know what they wanted.

If last time it was just because he offended you, then this time it's not impossible for you to become friends.

"A demand...?"

Luther hesitated for a moment, his hand caressing the softness of the moonlight, before finally saying:

"Consider this a free favor; I can hold Kaido off. Of course, you'll have to demonstrate your ability to cooperate with me. I'm not responsible for anyone else."

"Hold Kaido back? That's enough!"

Kozuki Oden smiled nonchalantly and readily agreed.

When two people become friends, they should give to each other.

Luther took the strongest one this time. If he still can't deal with the other weaklings, then he really doesn't need to stay in the game.

Although he was almost crippled without arms, if he had a knife in his mouth, he would still be stronger than the Flying Six, and with his retainers, he would be more than capable of clearing out the rabble.

"Alright then, it's settled then. Give me one day, and I'll go to the place you specify. I hope to see your other strengths, Kozuki Oden."

After hanging up the phone, Luther smiled and waved to Tianyue Shi.

He hadn't really enjoyed himself before.

Amatsuki's face flushed slightly, but since it was her suggestion, and given Kozuki Oden's performance, she would naturally keep her promise.

They slowly crawled up to Luther and pressed down on him, becoming entangled together.
