Ignite the fire from the pirates

I can't sleep, so I'll tell you about the sudden news.

.

Don't worry, everyone. The update of 8,000 words every day will continue. After all, living people need to eat.

I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. My wife and kids were already asleep, so I could only write this down, maybe I could fall asleep.

It was past midnight, at 11:10 last night, when my grandmother passed away in her hometown of Xiaogan, Hubei.

In the second half of last year, my esophageal cancer relapsed and spread. The doctor said I only had three months to live, so I took my son back home and wanted the old man to see the fourth generation. Since my cousins are not married yet, this is the only fourth generation at present.

When I went back that time, my grandmother was fine, just very thin. She could still walk and eat, but the lump under her neck was getting bigger and bigger.

Later, when I went back home for the Chinese New Year, my grandmother was already lying in bed and unable to get out of bed. My uncle bought an oxygen concentrator and she had been using oxygen. My mother went there every afternoon to help take care of her and help her clean herself.

I managed to get through the New Year, but it was very painful and I needed to take painkillers, and I was very strict about taking the hospital medicine.

My grandmother raised me when I was in first and second grade. At that time, my parents were busy with business and there were many human traffickers, so there was nothing we could do.

My grandmother is a Buddhist and has been a vegetarian all her life.

When I was a child, my cousin and I would be told some myths and stories about the cycle of good and evil.

The clearest memory I have is my grandmother telling me that if I saw small fish and shrimps by the pond after school, they were ghosts looking for a substitute, and if I went there, I would be dragged down...

Now that I think about it, they were afraid that we would play in the water. After all, three of our childhood friends drowned in the reservoir opposite the village entrance.

Besides...what I'm thinking is...

Perhaps at the end of her life, grandma no longer believed in her former beliefs.

After all, he had been a vegetarian all his life, but in the end he developed esophageal cancer because he kept eating pickles.

After the diagnosis and surgery, my grandmother stopped being a vegetarian.

At last……

I remember that in 19, my cousin died of suffocation at night due to epilepsy and no one found him. I cried very hard that day. Although I couldn’t sleep tonight, I didn’t cry.

Even... relieved.

Maybe you will scold me, and I will also scold myself, asking if I am a little cold-blooded.

After all, when I went back home during the Chinese New Year and saw my grandmother's painful face and her face that was only left with bones, I cried silently for a long time.

But now, I feel relieved.

Maybe it’s because living like that is too painful, or maybe it’s because living like that will make other living people suffer?

But seriously, everyone, I have realized the true meaning of this sentence.

[There is no filial son for a long-term sick bed]

Now I am thinking, maybe one day I will be in the same situation, then what will I do?

Thanks to years of experience reading novels, I heard that you can burn charcoal?

……

The sun will rise as usual tomorrow, the children’s tuition will still have to be paid, and expenses will still have to be met.

So, maybe I've become rational.

Or maybe it was because she was in so much pain when she saw her grandmother at that time, and death was a relief for her.

Chapter 99: The Bleeding General's Mansion

The Land of Wano, the Capital of Flowers, the Shogun’s Mansion.

"Shhhh..."

Just after killing the ninjas and samurai at the entrance, ninjas appeared again.

"Similar to the instant body-flickering technique?"

More than a dozen shurikens came at Kevin, but they also missed their targets after being nailed into the floor.

"Where have you gone?"

"Intruder, where is Lord Fu Lu Shou?"

"where?"

……

Amidst the surprise, Kevin appeared behind them.

"Are you looking for me?"

The moment the words fell, six heads rose in the air.

Kevin also sheathed his sword: "I haven't attended sword fighting class for two days, so I can only use the simplest method, beheading."

This scene left Oden, who was following behind, stunned.

He was so decisive that every swing of the sword was intended to take the enemy's life. The method of beheading made this courtyard like hell.

"What are you thinking?"

Kevin in front of him didn't even turn his head: "Do you think we are playing a game of house? If you are injured but not killed, then maybe the ones who will die later because of this difference are your retainers and subordinates who entrusted their lives to you."

"For a decision maker, hesitating when necessary is a big taboo, and it will also cause the people who follow you to lose their lives."

As soon as he finished speaking, three warriors reappeared, landing in the position of kunai.

In just a moment, the neck was cut off and the air entered the throat. The three people collapsed to the ground, holding their necks, but could not make any sound.

"You should know which house Kurozumi Orochi is in, right? Lead the way."

Kevin glanced behind him, and Oden hurried forward when he heard it, and the two of them went straight to Orochi's residence.

……

At the same time, Kurozumi Orochi, who had just been helped by the maids to wash and change clothes, was preparing to start a lunch game with the most beautiful courtesan in the Flower Capital.

Listen to music and drink.

As the sound of playing began, the black charcoal snake twisted its fat body and swung a folding fan left and right.

Beside him, the eyes of the women were full of flattery.

Since becoming the general of Wano Country five years ago, weapons factories have been built in Wano Country, and towering chimneys have appeared all over the Rabbit Well.

The men were forced to work, and the meager wages they were given were barely enough to make a living, and anyone who dared to resist was killed on the spot.

But even so, Orochi and Kaido were not satisfied. The five-year agreement was to maintain the status quo at that time. After five years, they wanted more weapons factories to be built in Wano Country.

And the salary?

As the general's subjects, isn't it my duty to work until I die?

How can I ask for salary?

The big snake stopped twisting and looked at the courtesan in front of it with lustful eyes.

It will be soon. As long as Kaido is ready, he will be able to have a showdown with that fool Oden.

Then the furious fool prince will gather those who still trust him, and Kanjuro, the mission he created, will pass on the information, and then the Beasts Pirates will ambush and catch them all in one fell swoop!

The Kozuki clan will be completely annihilated.

Before that, the daimyos from various regions and the gangster boss Huazhibao Goro from Huadu need to be dealt with in advance.

Soon, the day of complete revenge will come!

"boom!"

The door of the room was kicked open and two figures walked straight in.

After seeing who was coming, Da She lost his grip on the wine bowl and it fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

"O…Oden?!"

He was so frightened and panic-stricken that his nose was running. He kicked his legs wildly and finally found his way to the wall behind him.

"How dare you break into the Shogun's mansion? Oden, you are not going to fulfill your promise, are you? How dare someone like you break your promise?"

There was fear in the voice, so he didn't notice that the black space coordinates slid from the ground and fell on him.

Oden also walked forward, pointing his blood-stained sword directly at Kurozumi Orochi.

"You didn't intend to keep your promise, did you? Kaido was gathering his forces, and you didn't intend to keep your promise from the beginning, did you?"

At this time, the Biwa wizard Kurozumi Chanmaru, who had been protecting him for five years, appeared behind the screen. He crossed his index and middle fingers, and a barrier appeared in front of the two of them.

In Kurozumi Orochi's heart, this barrier has been tested.

Five years ago, Kozuki Oden returned from overseas and went straight from Kuri to the Shogun's Mansion in the Flower Capital, but neither Yanma nor Ame no Habakiri could break through this barrier.

Then that kind of obscene smile appeared on his face. He raised his hand and wiped his nose with his arm, and looked at the women behind Oden who were huddled together in fear.

"Go on! Keep playing and dancing, don't mind!"

The oiran looked at Oden timidly, fearing the power that Orochi had always held. In the end, the women started playing again with trembling hands.

Orochi looked at Oden proudly and poured himself another bowl of wine: "Oden, as long as you don't break the agreement, I will naturally abide by my promise."

"Kaido is just a pirate. He will leave when he gets what he wants, and I will leave here too. Go back to your Kuri, Oden!"

Kevin, who still had Kin'emon's face, stood behind Oden and saw that Oden looked hesitant from the side.

So just like what Kaido said in the memory, people like Oden, Whitebeard and Roger, although powerful, can still be stupid and naive.

Flame Disaster Jin and Plague Disaster Queen have already gathered on Onigashima. Are the Beasts Pirates gathering their strength to hold a banquet?

"Are you...really going to leave?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a splash of blood splattered out.

"Ah!!! My hand!"

Kurozumi Chanmaru wailed, his hands fell to the ground from the wrists, the barrier disappeared, and blood splattered everywhere.

Kevin, who appeared beside the snake in an instant, swung his knife to avoid the blood and then appeared behind the snake, with the long knife across its neck.

The sudden change made the whole room quiet. The women who were playing tremblingly dropped their instruments and hid in the corner, not daring to look up.

"Nin... Kin'emon? How is that possible?!"

The screaming snake's voice had already broken.

And Oden looked at Kevin in astonishment: "Wait!"

Kevin smiled and said, "I know. After all, you still have some questions to ask. And don't worry, I won't give you any hints."

The conversation between the two was nothing like a conversation between a retainer and his lord. Orochi kept turning his head to look at the two of them. He had already lost the guarantee of his life, and now he just wanted to save his life.

"You...you can't kill me!"

"I have formed an alliance with Kaido. If you kill me, the Beasts Pirates will not let Wano Country go!"

"Oden! Oden, tell Kin'emon to stop, quickly!"

"Do you want Wano Country to be destroyed?!"

"Oden!"

At this moment, Kurozumi Chanmaru, who had lost both hands and was unable to perform special movements, rolled over and wailed, his blood staining the floor red, but no one cared about him.

Kevin was a little noisy, so he was sent to jail with a kunai.

The sin value is naturally pitifully small compared to that of the Celestial Dragons, but a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat.

At this time, Oden said: "Orochi... who is the undercover agent you placed beside me?"

Kevin raised his head.

This time the idiot seemed to be a little smarter and did not directly ask Kanjuro if he was the hidden traitor.

At the same time, Kevin's words also made Orochi stunned for a moment, and Kanjuro instantly thought of his mind.

"Shh."

A cold light flashed behind him, and one of the black charcoal snake's ears fell to the ground.
