Chapter 215 Situation
Wano Country.
Since Kozuki Oden returned to the country, conflicts have repeatedly erupted with 'Beasts' Kaido. However, because Kaido occupied the Flower Capital, Udon, and Kibi, his strength can be described as formidable. Although Kozuki Oden's individual strength is stronger, in terms of basic Combat Power, he is more than one Class weaker than the allied forces of Orochi and Kaido. Warfare is not just about the Combat Power and morale of Soldiers, but also logistics.
Originally, after Kozuki Oden returned to Kuri, Denjiro secretly smuggled himself into Ringo through special channels, intending to contact several Daimyo to form an allied army and attack Kaido and Orochi's allied forces from the rear. However, he was directly rejected.
The reason for the rejection was simple: the entire Ringo region could no longer provide enough Supplies to build an Army. Of course, if they wanted to forcibly raise Supplies, it wasn't impossible. Although White Dance and Ringo are still separated, Ordinary People from both sides have set up Markets at the border between the two regions.
The existence of this trading zone even led to the migration of most of Ringo's Residents to the vicinity.
If they were to plunder this place or forcibly conscript Grain from the Ordinary People of Ringo, they could indeed raise Supplies. However, once they did so, the Shimotsuki Family's Reputation in the Ringo region would be completely ruined. Perhaps if cooperation with Kozuki Oden to fight against Kaido failed, even their ancestral graves might be dug up by the angry Residents of Ringo.
However, although Ringo could not dispatch a large Army, the Daimyo, including Shimotsuki Ushimaru, still stated that they could lead their Retainer to declare war on Kaido and Orochi, as a Promise from their Ancestor to Kozuki Oden's family.
Without the large Army from Ringo, the Strength of Kuri alone was not enough to completely defeat the alliance of Orochi and the Beasts Pirates. For a time, the Situation in Wano Country fell into a stalemate.
Moreover, the main Reason was that the upheaval in White Dance made the original Situation in Wano Country even more unpredictable. The alliance led by Vistad, mixed with the newly emerged Class in White Dance, made both Kozuki Oden in Kuri and Kaido in Onigashima unwilling to fully engage in Battle, because they were also afraid that when they were both exhausted, someone else would pick the peaches.
Therefore, except for the few conflicts that erupted with Kaido after Kozuki Oden returned to the country, including directly going to the Flower Capital and dismantling the Castle Tower of the Shogun Residence, the two sides entered a state of truce.
It is said that when Kozuki Oden left the Castle Tower, people nearby went to see the Battle Trace left behind. It could be said that the Shogun Residence was almost half destroyed.
Furthermore, a large number of Corpses appeared on the Battlefield. Most of these Corpses showed signs of frostbite, and their faces were like Evil Ghost. Among the survivors, many were also covered in frost, resembling Evil Ghost. In the end, these People were all killed by the Oniwabanshu led Army under the Shogun.
"Denjiro, is the Antidote still not ready!?"
In the Kuri Lord's Residence, Kozuki Oden looked at Denjiro with a solemn expression and asked. It could be said that among Kozuki Oden's Retainer, Denjiro was the most charismatic leader.
"Lord Kozuki Oden, according to the Sample and Description you brought back, what Orochi and Kaido have mastered should be a Plague with extremely terrifying infectivity. This Plague will turn the infected into irrational Monsters, and once bitten or scratched by these Monsters, one will be infected.
Although we know this is a Plague, it is a Regret, Lord Kozuki Oden, that our current Medical Capability is not enough to create a Potion to deal with this Plague. Perhaps there are Methods of treatment outside of Wano Country."
Denjiro knelt on the ground, banging his head earnestly as he spoke.
Although he was mentally prepared, Denjiro's words still made Kozuki Oden's expression somewhat unsightly. Having experienced great adventures, he naturally knew the level of Medical Capability in Wano Country. In the entire Wano Country, if one fell ill, they would either grab some Medicinal Herbs or go to a Shrine to ask the Shinto priests for Talisman Water.
Even in a large country like Wano Country, not even one Surgery could be performed. No, perhaps White Dance could, after all, according to the Intelligence he had obtained, that place was no different from the Island Cities he had visited at Sea before.
"Is there really no Method at all?"
Kozuki Oden was still somewhat unwilling.
"Um, Lord Kozuki Oden, I seem to have some impression of the situation you described. According to the Record in the Ninja Scrolls, a similar Virus once broke out in a certain place a long Time ago. At that Time, someone used a special product called 'Jade Potion' to turn all the People on an Island into Monsters who only knew how to kill. Moreover, if the user of this Potion is powerful enough, they might even gain more powerful Power, comparable to Supernatural Power."
"Jade Potion? Is there any Record of how to make an Antidote?"
Kozuki Oden quickly asked, and Denjiro, Kin'emon, and others all looked at Raizo, wanting to know if the Ninja Records had any Record of the Antidote for Jade Potion, because even if it wasn't the same Plague, there would always be reference Value in terms of Antidote, and perhaps they could concoct an Antidote for the Plague that could turn People into Ice Oni.
"Uh, no."
Looking at the expectant Eyes of everyone, Raizo directly spread his hands.
Immediately, everyone was extremely disappointed.
"Lord Kozuki Oden, with our Strength, it would be very difficult to defeat the alliance of Kaido and Orochi and recover White Dance. In that case, why don't we ask the Roger Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates for help?"
At this moment, Inuarashi suddenly spoke. Obviously, according to the current Situation in Wano Country, it was not something Kozuki Oden could solve alone. Not to mention the Monster entrenched in White Dance, Kaido alone was not someone they could easily deal with.
"Meow, that's right, Lord Kozuki Oden, you helped Roger with such a big favor, he definitely won't refuse. Moreover, Izo is on Whitebeard's Ship. Once Whitebeard hears about the current Situation in Wano Country, he will definitely bring everyone from the Whitebeard Pirates to drive away Kaido, meow."
Nekomamushi also quickly said from the side.
Hearing Nekomamushi and Inuarashi's words, Kin'emon, Denjiro, and Kikunojo all curiously looked at Kozuki Oden. They had also heard about Whitebeard's Strength from Nekomamushi and the others, and they had also witnessed it with their own eyes. After all, a Weapon who could easily defeat Lord Kozuki Oden could definitely defeat Kaido.
Although they didn't know how powerful the Roger Pirates were, being able to be mentioned in the same breath as the powerful Whitebeard, they must not be simple either.
If they could invite those two powerful Pirate Crew, then they would definitely be able to solve the crisis currently facing the Kozuki Family.
Listening to Nekomamushi and Inuarashi's words, Kanjuro's expression, full of acting, couldn't help but change. After all, unlike the isolated Kuri, he had obtained a lot of Intelligence from Orochi. Not to mention Roger, who would become the Pirate King, just the Whitebeard Pirates alone was not something the current Kaido and Orochi could resist.
At the same Time, Kanjuro also looked at Kozuki Oden, wanting to see if he could get some Intelligence from his expression.
"Let me consider this matter."
Kozuki Oden did not directly agree, but said with a frown.
