Chapter 217 Won't Happen
Kuri Lord's Residence, in the home of Kozuki Oden.
The atmosphere here was very lively. In a spacious Great Hall, a group of people were gathered together celebrating something.
"Momonosuke, Happy Birthday. Father is a little late because he was too busy, sorry about that. This is your gift, see if you like it."
The one speaking was Kozuki Oden. In his hand, he was holding a white tiger, waving it in front of Momonosuke.
It was clear that he had just found it in the mountains of Kuri.
"I like it, thank you, Father!"
Although Kozuki Oden couldn't be called a qualified Monarch, he was doing quite well in front of his Family.
Just as Kozuki Oden was preparing to celebrate Momonosuke's birthday, a Figure had quietly entered Oden Castle.
"Father, thank you, I like it very much."
Momonosuke, wearing a Kimono, had a face full of smiles. This Kid was also very happy today because he could receive many Gifts on his birthday.
"When does the Banquet start, Father? I'm so hungry."
Beside him, in Toki's arms, a little girl put her Index Finger in her mouth and looked eagerly at the 'lavish' Food on the Table.
"Lord Hiyori, the Cake is ready and can be served at any time."
Kin'emon stood respectfully to the side, speaking with a solemn face. Obviously, at a solemn moment like the Young Master's birthday Banquet, he would always maintain this serious appearance.
"Lord Momonosuke, this Cake was made under my full supervision, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Kawamatsu chuckled foolishly beside him. Kawamatsu was also very happy for Momonosuke's birthday. What also made him happy was that everyone could gather together again.
Although they were nominally Kozuki Retainer, compared to other Guards in Oden Castle, they were not only of higher Status, but also considered Family of Kozuki Oden in a sense.
Kozuki Oden, standing to the side, directly picked up Momonosuke and lifted him high.
"Peach, Happy Birthday!"
Momonosuke in the Sky couldn't help but giggle non-stop, because today was his birthday.
Soon, the Atmosphere in the Room became more and more lively. Amidst everyone's various blessings and compliments, Momonosuke's Laughter continued to ring out.
At the same time, the Figure who had infiltrated the Daimyo Residence had now arrived on the Ceiling of the Great Hall.
Although there were many patrolling Samurai along the way, for her, who had undergone System Ninja Training, everything was a piece of Cake.
"That is Kozuki Oden, an unprecedented extraordinary Person in Wano Country, the Daimyo of Kuri who has traveled overseas and experienced various trials alongside the top Pirates on the Grand Line, becoming several times stronger than before, an Invincible Man! He should have become the savior of Wano Country and a wise Monarch loved by all the people of Wano Country, but..."
Thinking of the Scene she had seen that day, the Figure in the Ceiling couldn't help but clench her Fist.
She knew that if Orochi and those Despicable People weren't too Despicable, the people of Flower Capital should have already ushered in liberation.
Through the cracks in the Wooden Ceiling, listening to the continuous Laughter coming from below, it could be seen that the People below were celebrating something.
"Who's there!"
Just then, Kozuki Oden suddenly grabbed the Chopsticks beside him and threw them towards the Ceiling.
With a bang, the Wooden Ceiling shattered, and large pieces of debris fell from the Sky.
The few people who were celebrating Momonosuke's birthday were obviously stunned. Kin'emon and Kanjuro immediately flipped up and leaped up, blocking the Wooden Plank fragments falling from above.
Kawamatsu and Denjiro and others blocked Toki, Momonosuke, and Kozuki Hiyori behind them.
Momonosuke was stunned by the Scene in front of him, sitting blankly in place, at a loss.
"Who is it?"
Kin'emon shouted angrily, Drawing Sword and looking towards the Dust stirred up by the Wooden Plank debris in front of him.
The Dust at the door slowly dissipated, and a Figure emerged.
After the Figure appeared, none of the people in the Room recognized who the person was.
"Lord Oden."
This Figure who suddenly appeared, knelt on one knee on the ground and saluted in the direction of Kozuki Oden.
"You are Shinobu?"
Kozuki Oden frowned for a long time before recognizing who the Person in front of him was.
"That's right, Lord Oden, it's me. I knew Lord Oden still remembered me."
Seeing that Kozuki Oden recognized her, Shinobu immediately looked excited.
"I remember you seem to be Oniwabanshu cultivated by Father back then? Why are you here?"
"Lord Oden, Fukurokuju and others of the Oniwabanshu have already Betrayal Kozuki and defected to Kurozumi Orochi. All those who were unwilling to surrender have been purged."
Hearing this, Kozuki Oden's Pupils suddenly contracted, and his Complexion became very ugly. One could imagine the resentment in the hearts of those Loyalty and Righteousness men who swore to die rather than surrender to the Kozuki Family before their deaths.
"Lord Oden, now is not the Time to talk about this. I got News from Kurozumi Orochi that they have sent People to White Dance to discuss Alliance with those Traitor of Wano Country."
Shinobu said urgently.
"What!?"
"What you said is true!?"
Hearing Shinobu's Words, the entire Great Hall immediately exploded. It was already very difficult for the current Kuri to fight against the Orochi and Kaido Alliance of Flower Capital. If they were to Co-opt those guys from White Dance, then perhaps the Kozuki Family would really be finished.
"What should we do?"
Kin'emon walked back and forth anxiously.
Denjiro was also lost in thought, with a solemn Face. Obviously, if it was really as Shinobu said, then their Trouble would be great.
"Hahahaha."
Just when everyone was anxious about this News, Kozuki Oden laughed loudly.
"Lord Oden, what Time is it? How can you still laugh?"
Kikunojo looked at Kozuki Oden who was laughing loudly and complained a little. Although he knew that his Lord was unreliable, he shouldn't drop the chain at this critical Time.
When Kozuki Oden stopped laughing, he said something that made everyone confused.
"Don't worry, that Weapon won't."
"Don't worry, that Weapon won't."
Nicholas, hugging Bell-lin, held the Intelligence sent by Orochi's Envoy in his Hand. Then, Lightning surged in his Hand, turning the Letter into Dust and scattering it in the Sky with the Wind.
"Could it be that he would rather die than ask Roger and Whitebeard for help? You must know that if the Roger Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates join forces, Kaido of Wano Country and that Orochi who usurped the throne would only have to run away, and even we might have to give up White Dance."
Bell-lin rubbed her head against Nicholas's Chest to make herself lie down more comfortably.
"Hehe, the Roger Pirates have already disappeared, and Whitebeard is also being watched closely by the Navy and the World Government. Do you believe that if the Roger Pirates or Whitebeard Pirates come to Wano Country, the World Government will send Navy and High-End Combat Power to clean up Wano Country as soon as they receive Intelligence.
Wano Country was originally inconspicuous in the eyes of the World Government, but once Wano Country is linked to Roger or Whitebeard, the World Government cannot accept it.
What's more, Kozuki Oden went to Final Island with Roger, once the World Government knows that Kozuki Oden is in Wano Country, then hehe...
Damn it, you stupid Bird, you're pooping again!"
Nicholas, who was originally talking and laughing and pointing out the Dominion, broke his composure as a pile of grayish-white fresh bird poop was pulled on his new shoes.
Nicholas's Look naturally made the Beautiful Women in his arms laugh even more wildly.
