Chapter 615 Kin’emon’s Choice (Ch 615)

In the original work, the Straw Hat Pirates paid a huge price in the battle of Onigashima, but actually gained very little.

Wano Country was eventually inherited by Momonosuke, and the Kozuki clan once again became the rulers of Wano Country.

At first glance, it seems similar to Alabasta and Dressrosa, but…

Compared with Cobra and King Riku, Momonosuke is really untrustworthy.

Moreover, Wano Country has been devastated after a series of wars. If it wants to recover as soon as possible and become a helper for the Straw Hat Pirates, it will definitely need an experienced and skillful ruler.

Even though Momonosuke has the assistance of the Nine Red Scabbards, Bai Ye is still worried about this.

Having been warned by the future many times, Bai Ye naturally did not want things to develop according to the original story.

What’s more, Momonosuke has died because of the butterfly effect. If Hiyori comes to power, the mess of Wano Country alone will be enough to make her overwhelmed.

That’s why Bai Ye wants to choose someone else to take the position.

Shimotsuki Yasuie is a very good candidate, or even the only one.

There was no other way. More than ten years ago, the Kozuki clan was almost wiped out. Since then, almost all of Orochi’s political enemies were killed by him.

The Shimotsuki Yasushi family can be said to be the only remaining spark.

If you want the Kang family to take power, you can’t avoid the Nine Red Scabbards.

However, if one wants Shimotsuki Yasuie to take the throne willingly and deepen his ties with the Straw Hat Pirates, using violence to eliminate the Nine Red Scabbards will not work.

The only thing is to get the Nine Red Scabbards and the Kozuki clan to support him in taking the throne.

In order to achieve this, Bai Ye put a lot of effort into Kin’emon.

Seeing how conflicted he was now, Bai Ye felt that he was at least more confident.

——

“Kinemon, what are you doing?!”

Inside the room, Raizo also noticed Kin’emon’s abnormality and said angrily: “Didn’t you swear that the Straw Hat Pirates were the ones predicted to save Wano Country? How are you going to explain it now!!!”

“Are these guys any different from the Beasts Pirates?!!”

Raizo was very sad. In his opinion, Kin’emon’s current entangled appearance was no different from a traitor…

“You bastard, do you still remember that you are Lord Oden’s retainer? If you do this, how can you face Lord Oden after you die!!!”

These words were indeed very serious, and even A-Ju and Inuarashi Cat Viper hurried to stop him.

Kin’emon’s loyalty to the Kozuki clan is absolute, and Raizo’s words are absolutely unacceptable to him, and can even be considered an insult.

Behind the crowd, Hiyori Kozuki also looked at Kin’emon, but she didn’t doubt him. Instead, she was overwhelmed with thoughts and didn’t know what to do.

Kin’emon’s condition is very similar to hers…

Kin’emon, who had been hesitant before, made up his mind after hearing Raizo’s insults.

“Lord Oden…”

He murmured to himself, and the scene of that year reappeared in his mind.

His memory gradually became clearer, and he finally remembered the last words of Kozuki Oden in the frying pan.

He raised his head and looked at his companions beside him, his eyes gradually firmed: “My life and everything I have belong to Lord Oden and the Kozuki clan…”

“So…I want to support Lord Shimotsuki Yasuie to take the throne!!!”

…

The room fell into silence, but became lively again after a few seconds.

Even the Straw Hat Pirates did not expect that this guy who had been talking about restoring the Kozuki clan from the very beginning when they met would now make such a choice.

The Nine Red Scabbards were even more shocked.

Akiku and others who had just been speaking for Kin’emon, all looked at him in disbelief.

What’s going on?

This is the thought that comes to most people’s minds.

“Kinemon you bastard!!!”

Raizo let out an angry roar, leaped in front of Kin’emon, raised his right hand and punched him hard.

Kin’emon did not dodge or evade, but took the blow with his face.

The next second, he flew backwards.

Raizo continued to curse: “You have indeed become a traitor! You have long forgotten the will of Lord Oden. Seeing how powerful the Straw Hat Pirates are, you dare not resist, right?!”

Kin’emon stood up. His left eye was swollen, but he still looked at his companions firmly: “I have never forgotten the kindness of Lord Oden. The choice I made was to fulfill Lord Oden’s will!”

“You farted!!!”

Raizo shouted angrily: “You support Shimotsuki Yasuie to take the throne, but where does that put Lord Kozuki Hiyori?! Lord Shi asked us to travel through time and space, not for you to steal the country of the Kozuki clan!!!”

“You’re the one who farted!!!”

Unexpectedly, this time Kin’emon cursed back.

“Lord Oden never thought of letting the Kozuki clan regain power in Wano Country! Have you all forgotten what he said before he died?!”

“You…” Kin’emon suddenly burst out, which surprised Raizo.

What surprised several people even more was that the tears on Kin’emon’s face showed his pain.

“The only wish of Lord Oden before his death was to establish Wano Country!!!”

Kin’emon walked up to Raizo step by step, grabbed his collar, and cried out in anger and tears: “And Toki’s only wish is for Momonosuke-sama and Hiyori-sama to be safe!!!”

Maybe it was because she cried too sincerely, or maybe it was because she cried too ugly.

Kin’emon’s sudden attack silenced everyone in the room.

When Kozuki Hiyori heard her parents’ names and wishes, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and shed silent tears.

“Even if that’s the case, we should let His Highness Hiyori become the general of Wano Country.” Raizo spoke, but his momentum was a little lacking.

“Do you want to kill Hiyori-sama?!” Kin’emon’s scolding followed, “Wano Country is now in tatters. Outside, there are two giants, the World Government and Spark. If we are not careful, Wano Country may be wiped out. Do you want Hiyori-sama to live in such a life?!”

“Or do you think you have the ability to help Hiyori-sama?!”

Raizo choked.

He never thought about these things at all, or rather, he never felt these were problems.

As long as the Kozuki clan can regain power, it will be the only way to repay Lord Oden.

Not only Lei Zang, but others also thought so.

Caught in a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred, they had long lost the rationality to consider the current situation and even distorted Lord Oden’s will.

The reason is actually very simple. The current Wano Country is a complete mess. Letting Hiyori take the throne will only cause this girl to suffer greater pain and pressure.

It was enough to overthrow Orochi and let Hiyori know hatred with her own hands.

The reason why Kin’emon was able to consider all these was naturally due to the efforts Bai Ye made along the way.

Seeing that things were going smoothly, Bai Ye also smiled.

Next, all it takes is for Kozuki Hiyori to make a choice.
