Chapter 165: Oden Oden Stew

Wano Country, Flower Capital.

Kaido sat cross-legged on the platform, raising a wine bowl to drink deeply on his own, clearly in no hurry.

You must know,

the Beasts Pirates captured Oden in just one day; the Dawn Star Pirates and the Marines at Marineford will surely not decide the winner in such a short time.

After executing Oden, it will still be time to go to Marineford later.

Thinking of the soon-to-be-dispersed Dawn Star Pirates, with top talents one by one bound to Wano Country, Kaido couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The Luo Jie Pirates actually produced such fools.

Oden is both foolish and stupid, even believing the words of a fool like Kurozumi Orochi, making a five-year pact?

Five years, a full five years.

Oden danced a naked street dance in the streets of the Flower Capital for a full five years.

In five years, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen went from a small pirate to becoming an Emperor of the Sea and capturing蜂巢 Island, yet Oden, that idiot, didn't even go ask for outside help.

So stupid it's somewhat disgusting.

And Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, actually leading the Dawn Star Pirates to Marineford for the sake of Luo Jie's son,

that means facing the top combat power of the Marine Admiral, the Hero Garp, and the three Admirals.

Brotherhood... worthy of admiration.

And also nostalgic.

Kaido felt that since he had already taken Wano Country, it was time to forge the name of the strongest creature and show the world his Kaido's strength.

The first battle would start at Marineford.

Not long after, King, covered in the smell of blood, came and sat beside Kaido, then spoke in a low voice.

"Big Brother Kaido, it has been cleaned up."

Kaido nodded in satisfaction.

"Sit down and enjoy the show; opportunities to see Oden Oden stew are rare."

The only noble left in Wano Country is Kurozumi Orochi; in the future, when those samurai rebel, they won't find a leader and will be forced to join the Beasts Pirates.

The Beasts are about to enter a period of rapid expansion.

Vergo is indeed a talent.

As if remembering something, Kaido asked a question.

"Where are Oden's wife and children?"

"Still looking; Kozuki Toki, a woman alone with Oden's son and daughter, couldn't have escaped far."

Kaido poured a cup of wine and handed it to King.

"After dealing with Oden,

we will go to Marineford; let Queen keep people to guard the home, that old woman Charlotte Lingling seems to have designs on蜂巢 Island."

King took the wine bowl and suddenly asked: "Is she so certain Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen will lose?"

"If Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen returns..."

Kaido grinned and laughed without stopping.

"Wah-ha-ha-ha-ha~"

"King, do not underestimate the Marines."

"The three Marine Admirals and the Fleet Admiral are not easy to deal with, and there is also that old man Garp."

Thinking of Garp, Kaido couldn't help but recall the experience back then at God Valley, where he, Whitebeard, and Charlotte Lingling were chased and beaten by Garp alone.

It was simply outrageous.

When there is a chance to meet Garp's grandson in the future, I must lock him up and beat him properly, three times every night before bed.

"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen is still too young."

"He is only nineteen," King muttered.

"Yes," Kaido sighed with emotion.

"It's a pity Yamato is only eight; if she were a bit older, she could be married to Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, how strong would the big fat son born be."

King sighed speechlessly.

Do you know now that Yamato is a child?

When you usually beat Yamato, you didn't treat Yamato as a child.

Kaido glanced at the clock; half an hour remained before the hour of frying Oden.

"Orochi, go tease Oden."

Kurozumi Orochi, kneeling on the other side of Kaido, hurriedly smiled apologetically and said.

"Yes, my lord Kaido."

"Watch me demonstrate for you."

Without Kaido, there would be no Kurozumi Orochi today; although last night when capturing Oden, Kurozumi Suzumebachi, for impersonating Momonosuke and interfering with Kozuki Oden's decisive battle with Kaido, was ultimately executed by Kaido.

But in any case, Orochi believed his position as Shogun of Wano Country was firmly secured.

As secure as it could possibly be.

Especially after Kaido ordered all Wano Country nobles to be beheaded, only Kurozumi Orochi among the nobles of Wano Country was qualified to become the Shogun of Wano Country.

Kurozumi Orochi couldn't help but cry out to the sky—

Praise my lord Kaido.

Therefore, for Kaido's orders, Kurozumi Orochi must achieve perfection; isn't it just teasing Oden? Kurozumi Orochi has a hundred different methods to tease.

"Yo, brother Oden."

The great snake called out in false concern.

"Have you heard? Your comrade in Luo Jie's pirate crew, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, went to Marineford to die trying to save Luo Jie's son, Buggy."

In the oil pot, Oden was holding a wooden board aloft with both hands; seated upon it were his nine Red Scabbards.

Hearing that Saint Saint Saiwen Taro had gone to save Captain Luo Jie's son, Buggy Saburo, Oden was stunned for a few seconds, then burst into loud laughter.

"The Navy is truly amusing."

To even title Buggy Saburo as Luo Jie's son is truly speechless.

After laughing twice, Oden suddenly wore a look of deep sorrow.

Back on the Golden Jackson, Saint Saint Saiwen Taro had once warned him: Fate must be grasped in one's own hands as much as possible; do not place hope in others.

Pity, he did not listen.

Deceived by Kurozumi Orochi for a full five years, by the time he realized it, it was already too late.

Captain Luo Jie is gone, and he must go too.

If nothing unexpected happens, Saint Saint Saiwen Taro and Buggy Saburo will either arrive shortly or be imprisoned in Impel Down for life.

Of the three little ones on Luo Jie's ship, is only Shanks Jiro left now?

This is for the best; at least he can gather with Luo Jie again and eat meals cooked by Saint Saint Saiwen Taro.

Watching Oden alternate between joy and sorrow, Kurozumi Orochi's head buzzed: Has this fellow been fried into stupidity? Has his brain been fried to ruin?

"Yo, brother Oden."

Kurozumi Orochi continued in false concern.

"I heard you danced naked in Flower Capital for five years; the great names and nobles of Kibi, Udon, Suzugamori, and Bai Wu all committed seppuku."

"Do you still have the face to meet them in the future?"

Kurozumi Orochi intended to frame the slaughter of Wano Country's nobles as: due to Oden's inaction, the other daimyo and nobles all committed seppuku.

To make Oden die burdened with shame.

Indeed, upon hearing these words, Oden's expression grew vacant for a moment.

Kurozumi Orochi continued with full force.

"Brother Oden, rest easy and go."

"Your wife, I shall raise."

"In the future, I, your brother, will play with your wife while making your son call me father."

At these words, not only did Oden's anger rise as he stared死死 at Kurozumi Orochi, but even Kaido raised an eyebrow, seemingly considering whether to kill Orochi first.

This person is too wicked.

Never mind; only this fellow possesses the qualification to become the Shogun of Wano Country. Oden's wife and children have already been sentenced to death by Kaido.

Finally, the appointed time arrived.

Just as Oden believed that one hour of frying would win him a chance at life, Kaido fired a bullet wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, striking Oden precisely between the eyebrows.

And just before dying, Oden used all his strength to throw the nine Red Scabbards seated on the wooden board away.

Then he lay down in the oil pot, motionless.

It seemed he saw Luo Jie beckoning to him.

After Kaido downed a jar of sake in one gulp and slammed the jar heavily to the ground, he grinned.

"King, let us go."

However, the expected response from King did not sound; instead, Queen charged like a meatball, duang-duang, in a savage collision.

"Big Brother Kaido, big news!"

"Marineford was annihilated in one strike by Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen; countless Navy casualties!"

"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's bounty is five billion two hundred million."
