One Piece: The Celestial Dragons' Self-Cultivation

Page 61

“Governor Kaido, we still need to be wary.”

"If Kozuki Oden really sides with the World Government, it will be very detrimental to our plans."

Kaido waved his hand:

"do not worry about it."

"I know Kozuki Oden's character best."

"A person like him would never become a lackey of the world government."

He stroked his beard and sighed:

"This Celestial Dragon is quite interesting."

Kaido is considered one of the smartest among the Four Emperors, and in terms of intelligence, he is second to none.

Considering Kozuki Oden's personality, Kaido quickly understood the impact of this matter on the Beasts Pirates.

It can be said that there are only benefits and no drawbacks.

Why did Kurozumi Orochi make Oden dance?

Isn't it all just to undermine the other side's prestige among the people of Wano Country?

Black's outburst has caused Oden's prestige to plummet, which is clearly more beneficial to their plans.

Blake did indeed have this goal.

He intends to help Kaido stabilize his base.

Let's hope that when one leader appears, the entire Wano Country will start attacking Kaido.

However, for Oden now, the external situation is already very serious, but there are no problems internally.

This won't do!

If the Kozuki family's ending is too good, Black will be unhappy.

Upon arriving at the infamous red-light district of Wano Country, Black enjoyed the geisha's song and dance while calling Koala to his side.

After whispering something in Kella's ear and waiting for her to nod in understanding, Blake patted her on the shoulder:

Kera instantly vanished in a flash of light.

Everyone else looked puzzled, but Mandy, who possessed Observation Haki, stared at Black with a strange expression, as if she wanted to say something.

Blake pulled her into his arms and watched the song and dance together.

Mandy's icy face began to blush, and she quickly lost all interest in thinking about anything else.

Not long after, Kella returned.

She landed in front of Black, holding a book in one hand and a terrified-looking pirate in the other.

"Why...why did you arrest me?"

"I am not a member of the Beasts Pirates, and I have not been spying on you!"

Goodness, before I even asked anything, this brilliant guy confessed everything.

Blake suspected that with this guy's intelligence, he would most likely become a tyrant in the future.

However, neither Black nor Koala are currently paying attention to this pirate.

Kella handed the book to Blake:

"Your Highness, this should be what you wanted."

Blake flipped through the book for a while, confirmed the handwriting, and then tossed it aside.

"Stella, get me some paper and pen."

Stella's bag was like a treasure trove; whatever Blake needed, she could quickly pull it out of it.

Blake took the paper and pen and began to write.

Before long, a brand new letter was produced.

Chapter 80 Has my perfect disguise been exposed?

Black slipped the letter into the hands of the pirate henchman:

"Give this to Kaido."

After saying that, he threw him off the building.

This pirate was lucky, because there was no grand staircase here.

With a look of relief on his face, he didn't dare to look up after landing and hurriedly ran towards Ghost Island.

"Governor! Your Excellency, something terrible has happened! I've been discovered by those World Government people!"

Kaido, who was drinking, was so startled by the sudden shout that he almost dropped his sake jug. He grabbed his spiked club and sent the little pirate who had just rushed into the cave flying.

"Damn it! What is it now?"

“Governor Kaido… those people from the World Government captured me and made me hand this over to you.”

The little pirate shakily pulled Black's letter from his pocket and handed it to Kaido.

Kaido struggled to open his eyes, which were somewhat dazed from being drunk, and looked at the contents of the letter.

The inscription on the document, written in the handwriting and tone of Kanjuro Souyu, was extremely flattering and full of praise for him.

This not only reveals that his real name is Kurozumi Kanjuro, and that he was a spy planted by Kurozumi Orochi next to Kozuki Oden, but also indicates that the other members of the Nine Red Scabbards are willing to abandon their evil ways and join the Beasts Pirates with him.

The names Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Kawamatsu were prominently listed.

They felt they had been treated unfairly because of their status, and had long harbored resentment.

"You're saying that some Celestial Dragon asked you to give this to me?"

Kaido's expression turned serious, his gaze fixed intently on the little pirate on the ground.

"Yes...yes, Governor Kaido, he personally handed this letter to me."

After hearing these words, Kaido pondered for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"Ororororo...hiccup!"

"Interesting! So interesting!"

"I'd like to meet this kid."

With that, Kaido tossed the letter back to the little pirate:

"Don't tell anyone you came back."

"Take this letter and go to the Flower Capital for a stroll, and while you're at it, provoke those idiots who've been following Kozuki Oden."

After the young pirate left, Kaido turned back to his cave and continued drinking.

Kaido, outwardly reckless but inwardly astute, clearly understood Black's meaning and went along with it.

Blake already had a bad impression of the Nine Red Scabbards.

Now, on the one hand, they are preparing to weaken Oden's power from within, and on the other hand, they hope that there won't be so many people besieging Kaido twenty years from now.

It would be much better to let Luffy and Kaido fight one-on-one. How can a battle of attrition and encirclement show the power of the sun god?

So Black forged a secret letter that Kanjuro had given to Kaido.

Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Kawamatsu are not human, and were originally separated from the others by a layer.

We usually get along well, and we can maintain our relationship through bonds such as affection and faith.

Once internal turmoil occurs, this pre-existing disharmony will be magnified infinitely.

In particular, Blake added a real undercover agent to the letter, making it nine parts fake and one part true, which greatly increased the letter's credibility.

Once Kanjuro Kurozumi reveals his true colors, even if the others trust Inuarashi and the others, they will still have doubts in their hearts.

Among the people in Wano Country, apart from the two from the Kozuki family, Black dislikes Inuarashi and Nekomamushi the most.

If you like being someone's servant, then go ahead and do it.

After becoming a retainer, he ran back to the Woolly Duchy and became its leader.

Even after becoming the leader, he still considered himself a retainer of the Kozuki family.

This behavior is very puzzling.

Why is it said that in ancient times, addressing a foreign power as a subject was even lower in status than addressing someone as a child?

If the emperor likes to be someone else's son, that's his own business and has nothing to do with the ministers.

But if even the emperor becomes someone else's subject, then what are we ministers?

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi are like that.

They are the de facto rulers of the Mink tribe, and their words and actions represent more than just themselves.

In this situation, one might become someone else's retainer.

He ran up to Momonosuke.

*Thud!* He knelt down!

What about the other fur tribes?

For a combination of reasons, Blake decisively wrote the names of these non-human races on the secret letter.

Just as Black continued to enjoy the song and dance, the little pirate returned to the streets of the Flower Capital.

The Beasts Pirates never stopped monitoring Oden's forces and easily located the areas where he frequently operated.

The Nine Red Scabbards have been getting pointed at and talked about every time they go out in recent years, so they rarely go out anymore.

Today, coincidentally, Kikunojo was at the market preparing to buy some daily necessities.

The little pirate walked arrogantly to Kikunojo's side, kicked over a rice basket by the roadside, and spilled rice in front of Kikunojo's wooden clogs:

"Yo! Isn't this the Kozuki family's stray dog?"

Kikunojo glanced at the little pirate, ignored him, and turned to leave.

The young pirate realized this was bad; he hadn't completed the mission assigned by Governor Kaido, and he was sure to be punished when he returned.

On a sudden impulse, he swept the stick across a nearby stall, and a rouge box on the stall smashed onto Kikunojo's head.

The little pirate continued to mock:

"Doesn't this make you look more like a woman?"

"Why don't you dance and beg for mercy, my beauty..."

Kikunojo turned around, his sharp eyes fixed on the little pirate.

The little pirate froze, as if he had been targeted by a giant sea king.

But thinking of Kaido's mission, he gritted his teeth, suddenly ripped open his clothes, and began to twist his limbs exaggeratedly.

He began to imitate Oden's comical dancing postures, and suddenly did a split and fell down.

The little pirate lay on the ground, but burst into laughter:

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Doesn't this look like a female baboon in heat?"

Kozuki Oden's retainers naturally could not tolerate this.

For Kikunojo, it didn't matter if he was insulted; in these special times, he could just endure it.

But to insult Oden?

Then I'll fight you to the death.

Kikunojo instantly drew his longsword from his waist and pointed it at the little pirate:

"Take back what you just said!"

The little pirate lay on the ground, still laughing heartily.

"Want to hit me?"
