The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Meanwhile, Green Bull was calling for naval warships, which were heading this way.

Under the combined pressure from various forces, including the Navy, the New NEO Navy, Supernovas and Navy spies, internal traitors, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

This once glorious candy and dessert kingdom, which was almost a dreamlike place for decades, has now completely vanished.

The island nation that stood on this vast ocean, inspiring countless fears and dreads, also collapsed and ceased to exist.

Thus, aside from the defeat of the Four Emperors themselves, their power, like fireworks, burst forth and vanished completely.

While the outside world was in turmoil, inside Wano Country...

At the very bottom of the general's mansion, Robin and Law followed behind Tenguyama Hitetsu, no, Kozuki Sukiyaki.

We arrived at the bottom of Wano Country and learned about the country's legend.

The secrets buried deep within this country were thus revealed to the two of them.

About eight hundred years ago, Wano Country once stood at the foot of this massive Fujiyama Mountain.

Later, for some reason, a huge wall was built around the island, and the country was locked up.

Then the rain began to accumulate and flooded the entire country. People decided to abandon their original towns and instead cultivate new land on the slopes of Mount Fuji to build new towns.

That is, the present-day Wano Country.

At the same time, it is also the deepest part of this country, the place where the ancient weapon [Pluto] Proto sleeps.

Even Kozuki Sukiyaki has never seen that thing before, so there's no way to show it off.

However, Kozuki Sukiyaki explained the connection between Proto's launch and the opening of the country to Robin and the others.

“You saved this country, so you shall decide on this ancient weapon and the matters concerning the founding of the nation.”

Kozuki Sukiyaki said calmly, "In this country without a general, you are the best candidates to exercise these powers."

"Doesn't the Kozuki family have two direct descendants?!"

Luo was somewhat puzzled, "Why not just choose one of these two people to become the new general?!"

When the topic of choosing a general came up, Kozuki Sukiyaki's face twitched slightly.

"Originally, I was thinking of making Kozuki Momonosuke the new shogun, after all, he looks so much like his father, Kozuki Oden..."

Mitsuki sighed, "However, during this time, I also vaguely learned about what happened to Momonosuke from Raizo and others."

"That seemed to be a cursed sorcery from the mountain god..."

For the people of Wano Country who uphold the theories of bloodline and destiny, even if Kozuki Momonosuke is the son of Kozuki Oden, it doesn't matter.

However, since he has had an affair with the mountain god, his image has been greatly damaged and he looks extremely ugly. What will happen if the residents of Wano Country find out in the future...?

Private gossip and resistance are absolutely inevitable.

After all, no one wants a pig to lead them, especially this eight-year-old child who did nothing in the battle to reclaim Wano Country and fight against Kaido of the Beasts; he was just a good-for-nothing with blood.

"Not to mention, he is still in a coma, and I have no idea how he will behave after he wakes up."

Kozuki Sukiyaki doesn't hide anything and speaks her true feelings:

"I have also considered making Momonosuke the new shogun. Although he is only eight years old, if the retainers assist him, he may grow and learn at the same time and become a qualified shogun in the future."

"but……"

A hint of worry flashed across Kozuki Sukiyaki's face.

"I fear that we might repeat the fate of the Kozuki clan, which was the same as my ancestors."

It seems that the situation was similar to that of Kozuki Sukiyaki's father's generation.

He was born late, and at the time, the whole country thought that the Kozuki family line had ended, and many families began to stir.

The most obvious intention among them is that of the Kurozumi family, who want to replace the Kozuki family.

Yes, the underdog overthrowing the superior is a long-standing tradition in Wano Country.

However, after Kozuki Sukiyaki was born, all her unrealistic fantasies vanished.

The other retainers and daimyo who harbored some ulterior motives all extinguished their inner flames and thoughts.

The only stubborn family, the Kurotan family, had no intention of giving up. Instead, they thought they could take advantage of the situation where the ministers were strong and the ruler was weak to strike first.

Ever since~

As we all know, only Kurozumi Higurashi and Kurozumi Semimaru from the Kurozumi family went to sea to join the Rocks Pirates, which led Kaido back.

The surviving direct descendant, Kurozumi Orochi, became the new shogun of Wano Country, wreaking havoc on the country.

The painful lessons of the past are still vivid in my mind.

Even though Kin'emon and others are retainers to whom one can entrust one's life, a lord is a lord, and a retainer is a retainer.

For an old Wano Country man like Kozuki Sukiyaki, who had never been to sea in his life and was treated this way by his former retainers.

He didn't really trust his retainers.

Especially considering that Kin'emon was a thug before, Kawamatsu was a kappa, and Ashura Doji was the leader of a criminal gang in the Kuri region, and is now the leader of the Touyama Thieves!

Since banditry was their forte, Kozuki Sukiyaki was even more hesitant to let this group of people manage Wano Country together with Momonosuke.

Of course, this was just his thought. He also understood that the only ones who could truly make the decision were the group of benefactors in front of him who had defeated Kaido and saved Wano Country.

"Since Momonosuke isn't a good choice..."

Seeing this, Robin also said bluntly, "Then why not let Hiyori succeed as shogun?"

"Hiyori..."

Kozuki Sukiyaki's expression became even more hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"She, she's a woman!"

682 Special Antidote! The Beast Pirates, in dire straits and now prisoners!!

Kozuki Sukiyaki's expression became even more troubled.

"How can a woman become the shogun of Wano Country?!"

Well, in the tradition of the people of Wano Country, there has never been the idea of ​​letting a woman succeed to the throne.

In the minds of older generations of Wano Country residents, whether it's a shogun or a daimyo, it's absolutely unacceptable for a woman to hold those positions.

Even the sun and itself may have this perception.

"Do you favor boys over girls?"

Luo curled his lip in disdain, dismissing such outdated ideas.

"Let's talk about history instead."

Robin just smiled and didn't say anything more.

In her previous twenty years, what kind of people and national customs had she not seen?

"This is not a question for us to discuss. Let those outside decide on the specific measures."

At this moment, outside Wano Country, thanks to the tools provided by Link, and with the help of Usopp, Izo, and others, the reconstruction work is progressing well.

Meanwhile, the clean river water, along with fresh fruits and vegetables, are all ready to be rinsed thoroughly.

At least, there shouldn't be any problem preparing for the upcoming banquet.

Besides rebuilding Wano Country and preparing for the banquet, there is another important problem within Wano Country.

"It's been three days already, and they still haven't figured it out?!"

Inside a laboratory, Goro the Leopard, with a serious expression, stared at the billowing white smoke and seemed to be mixing something.

"If you prevent everyone from welcoming this unforgettable banquet with genuine smiles, I won't let you off so easily, you culprit!!"

Leopard Goro frowned, looking at Caesar, who was busy at work, with an air of authority even without anger.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, this isn't about creating a virus, how could you possibly make an antidote so easily?!"

Caesar muttered to himself, his hands still moving.

Yes, when Orochi ruled Wano Country, he found the painful cries of the poor and struggling people outside the Flower Capital extremely noisy.

They then mixed the failed artificial Devil Fruits of the Beast Pirates into the garbage and transported them to the villages outside.

The residents inside were made to pick up the food and share it, which caused them to lose all other expressions, leaving only stiff smiles.

This is undoubtedly a very painful thing for human beings.

The one who created artificial Devil Fruits was Caesar, that heartless and despicable scientist.

So the task of developing the antidote naturally fell to him.

All I can say is that I'll try my best.

Muttering to himself, he then flipped to the records of science and technology that he had obtained from the Beasts Pirates, which were in Queen's possession.

As equally outstanding scientists, Quinn, despite having different focuses, was able to provide Caesar with excellent inspiration.

Furthermore, Caesar absolutely did not believe that Queen wouldn't try to crack the artificial Devil Fruit he had created!

Once the code is successfully cracked, the Beasts Pirates will no longer need to cooperate with Doflamingo and themselves.

They can be completely self-sufficient, which will greatly shorten the gap between them and Kaido's idea of ​​waging war against the world.

"Although Quinn is a fool who can only sing and dance, it cannot be denied that some of his views and insights are still somewhat useful."

Caesar nodded repeatedly as he reviewed the documents left behind by Quinn.

Thanks to this information, he was able to overcome the flaws in his artificial Devil Fruit and accelerate the process...

Why did this sound so unpleasant to this wicked genius scientist?!

Meanwhile, Queen, who was greatly displeased by Caesar, along with their other Beast Pirates executives, big bosses, and true gifted men, were all imprisoned in the Udon prison.

The prison that they used to hold the rioters and rebels of Wano Country has now become a prison that binds them.

This is called the cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is inevitable.

“Asshole…”

Inside a solitary cell, Quinn's obese body lay panting on the floor.

His short limbs and neck were all bound by the shackles of sea stone, making him completely unable to exert any strength.

Well, because I know he's a cyborg, and he also has the same peculiar ability to break free from his body as the previous [Wrist Serpent Dragon].

Therefore, Quinn was given exceptionally preferential treatment, and he was bound by the most seastone.

"Is this the kind of food you feed me every day?!"

He turned his head to look at the bowl of obviously burnt glutinous rice balls next to his head, barely suppressing the urge to burst into a tirade:

"You're abusing prisoners!! Don't you have any red bean soup with rice cakes?! I consider it as important as oxygen! I'll die without red bean soup!!"

At the same time, feeling his body weak, he couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow.

"And I'm deliberately keeping my body from getting thin. If I really starved myself thin, I wouldn't be handsome at all, I'd look terrible!!"

He wailed and lamented there, but unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.

"Shut up!!"

A cold voice came from the cell next door, "You're really ugly, Quinn."

Sasaki, who had regained consciousness, was still chained and leaned weakly against the cell door, glaring at him.

"I used to think you were someone special, but now all you can do is wail and scream?!"

"Can't you just accept defeat gracefully like a real man?!"

Sasaki spoke quite frankly, but numerous veins bulged on Quinn's forehead.

"You're all muscle-bound bastards, shut up!"

At this moment, Quinn, who already had nowhere to vent, found a spot where he could fully unleash his rapper nature and unleash his most offensive and scathing remarks.

They've been at odds with each other for a long time, and now they're openly hurling insults at each other.

"Childish~"

In another cell, Foz-Foe glanced in that direction with the same disdain.

He straightened his tattered helmet and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
