Clap!

Clap!

Arthur walked step by step to the window, a smile on his lips. He quietly looked at the scenery before him and chuckled, “It’s really fast! As expected of Wano Country, the Shogun’s palace has been rebuilt again in such a short time.”

Ten days!

Hmm~~~

The grand Shogun’s palace had already been rebuilt. At this moment, Kozuki Toki was preparing to bring Kozuki Hiyori to become the new Shogun. Hmm? That’s right! The position of Shogun belonged to Kozuki Hiyori.

After all!

Kozuki Toki was a lady, and the most suitable candidate was Kozuki Hiyori. It could be said that no one objected to Kozuki Hiyori becoming the new Shogun of Wano Country. After all, this was an unavoidable situation!

There was no other way!

Kozuki Sukiyaki, Kozuki Oden, and Kozuki Momonosuke were all dead! And their deaths were even bizarre. Out of helplessness, Kozuki Hiyori could only inherit this position. Due to her young age, everything was handled by Kozuki Toki, who also taught Kozuki Hiyori.

However…

Although it was said so, Kozuki Toki had keenly sensed that the overall situation of Wano Country was not good. Wano Country had not been without female Shoguns, but! The female Shoguns had all completed the process perfectly, inheriting the position of Shogun with astonishing strength, status, and influence in all aspects. This was what brought everything back to peace! Because of this, there was a very big problem at the fundamental core of this point now.

Therefore!

Everything must be vigilant, otherwise! Then the problem would be troublesome. Although Kozuki Toki believed that many people would not have other ideas, but! Even if only a tiny number of people had ideas, they still needed to be vigilant, otherwise, no one would know what the outcome would be! Perhaps, things would become very troublesome and difficult.

“Hehehe~~~”

Arthur had a smile on his lips and quietly gazed into the distance with interest. He slowly said, “Morgana-nee, what do you think the future of Wano Country will be like? Things! Are getting more and more interesting!”

Buzz~~~

A wisp of light emerged, and Morgana’s phantom appeared. Hmm! This was an application of magic, similar to an amulet. The special nature of this amulet was quite unique; it could create a device similar to an image. It had no power, but! It could block a terrifying attack once, and! Morgana could also view things at any time through such an image.

Therefore!

Through this magic, Morgana was actually like she was always by Arthur’s side.

“Hmm~~~”

Morgana floated in mid-air, her arms crossed, exuding an arrogant posture. She said indifferently, “Wano Country! Next, it will fall into a dangerous situation. After all, with an orphaned girl and a widow, even with eight loyal retainers, the meaning is not significant. In the face of power, many people will become extremely greedy! And, to handle the outcome well, external assistance is needed.”

“And…”

“The most suitable external assistance is you, little Arthur. This is an undeniable fact.”

Morgana saw it very clearly. Indeed! If there was a most suitable candidate, it would be Arthur. Besides Arthur? If Kozuki Toki wanted to unite with someone, then! It would simply be meaningless, or even have no possibility of success at all.

Because of this!

This matter was the most important thing. Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering in his mind, and shook his head, “Morgana-nee, there’s no need to rush. The rest is up to Lady Kozuki’s own choice. After all! This is Lady Kozuki’s choice.”

“Hehehe~~~”

Morgana chuckled lightly. She found her younger brother very interesting! Hmm~~~ Her younger brother had really changed a lot now. It could be said that he had completely transformed. This was not a bad thing! It should be said that this was a very good thing.

After all!

Her younger brother had grown more, unlike that completely different feeling. For Morgana, of course, she was happy. This was not strange. Morgana inherited the identity of Morgan le Fay, which was equivalent to a homonym. Because of this! She naturally knew the other party’s memories. This was the most important thing.

“Well!”

Arthur smiled, “Morgana-nee, there’s no need to rush. Just wait a little longer. However! This time, the harvest was very quick. Morgana-nee, I trouble you!”

“It’s nothing.”

Morgana smiled and shook her head, not putting this matter in her eyes, not even caring at all.

Buzz~~~

Faintly, Morgana disappeared without a trace. Magic! After all, it was not that vast, especially in this world. Using such methods was relatively troublesome, and Morgana also disappeared.

Only!

Arthur smiled and murmured, “Wano Country is the last stop. Under normal circumstances! Next, as long as Wano Country develops as expected, everything will become very easy. However… I never expected that Mr. Kozuki and Kozuki Sukiyaki could be blown up directly by explosives. This! Is indeed something I never expected!”

Obviously!

This was something Arthur had never expected. To be able to blow up a strong person of Admiral level, it must be an extremely terrifying explosive. If nothing unexpected happened! It was no less than a weapon like explosive rock, and how was this weapon developed? It must have been developed by the craftsmen of Wano Country! So…

Arthur was becoming more and more greedy for the craftsmen of Wano Country, and he was having more and more ideas! It could be said that Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi’s actions this time, in his original estimation, if nothing unexpected happened, would only be a slight threat to the three of Kozuki Toki, and he would just gain some goodwill.

Hmm~~~

Don’t think it’s bad, scheming is very normal. It’s just that some unexpected things happened. This matter! Is indeed very embarrassing.

Kozuki Momonosuke, this guy, actually went out to play by himself and encountered an accident, and he! Was actually delayed by Kaido. This situation was indeed unexpected. It could be said! Overall, it was really embarrassing. In such a situation, things became relatively awkward.

It could be said!

It was completely helpless. In the end! Arthur never expected that all three men of the Kozuki family would die violently! This… was truly embarrassing to the core. He even felt a bit at a loss for words!

Hmm~~~

Very awkward!

Yes!

It was a truly awkward situation. Arthur also shook his head about it. Although he didn’t plan all of this, he always felt that everything seemed to be developing in the best way for him. Arthur also found this situation a bit strange, but! He still shook his head. No matter what, such a result was always the best, at least for him, it was the best result. Since that was the case, then overthinking was not a good thing.

Although…

It was a bit too strangely smooth! Of course, besides Arthur, Morgana-nee also went to sea. Morgana-nee had gone to search for a blueprint according to the nautical chart he gave her, and! Judging from Morgana-nee’s expression, she had already found that blueprint. Then! The biggest harvest this time had already been obtained, after all! Besides this blueprint, everything else was actually not very significant!

…

Clap!

Clap! (For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Walking step by step on the road, Kozuki Toki sat quietly in the room, her expression very calm. In the room, retainers gathered, respectfully kneeling on the ground in the standard dogeza posture, their eyes exceptionally sharp.

Kin’emon, Denjiro, Kikunojo, Raizo, Kawamatsu, Ashura Doji, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi!

A total of eight people, each with astonishing aura. They were the retainers of the Kozuki family. No matter what, they would always be loyal to the Kozuki family, even if Lord Oden died, and Young Master Momonosuke died!

However!

Now, as long as the Lady was still alive, and as long as the Young Lady was still alive, then! Everything was undeniable. They were absolutely loyal, but! In the current Wano Country, the loyalty of merely eight people had brought about a different situation.

“Everyone!”

Kozuki Toki spoke quietly, “I have never doubted you, but! I want to know, how many samurai in Wano Country can we mobilize now?”

“…”

Listening to Kozuki Toki’s words, the eight people’s eyes instantly sharpened. They were not fools; they knew that the situation in Wano Country had become very special now. Although many times they shouted about righteousness, they all knew very well what the situation was like for the Shimotsuki family, Uzuki family, and Kazuki family, besides the Agetsu family who were no longer in Wano Country.

Hehehe~~~

It was actually hard to say. Even if! Shimotsuki Yasuie, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, Kazuki Oden, Uzuki Tempura, these people! They had no other ideas, but! Did their subordinates and family members have no other ideas? Hard to say! Hard to say!

Perhaps when Kozuki Oden was alive, when Kozuki Sukiyaki was alive, or even! When Kozuki Momonosuke was alive, they wouldn’t have any ideas, but! Now it was different. Now the Kozuki family only had an orphaned girl and a widow left!

And!

Kozuki Hiyori was a girl! If someone married Kozuki Hiyori as their wife, what would be the outcome? Hehehe~~~ It was already self-evident! It could be said without joking that if this were done, then! After three to five generations, Wano Country would belong to their family, or even! If they were bolder, they could directly change the Kozuki family name to their own family name. Wouldn’t that also be a very suitable thing?

Because of this…

One should not harbor malicious intentions, but one must guard against the malicious intentions of others!

Kozuki Toki knew very well that her daughter was about to inherit the position of Shogun, but! This position was truly not that easy to inherit! If one was not careful, something serious could really happen! And it would be a major incident! Because of this, the situation that followed was even different.

“Hmm~~~”

Listening to the Lady’s question, Kin’emon pondered for a moment and said, “Lady! There are a total of nearly 20, 000 samurai troops. The former Kuri samurai totaled 30, 000, and in this war, the Kuri samurai bore the brunt, losing nearly 10, 000!”

“Hmm!”

“I understand.”

Kozuki Toki nodded seriously, also pondering this matter in her heart. She looked around and suddenly said, “Everyone, who do you think among the remaining four Daimyo is loyal to Hiyori? And who has other ideas? And who is more suitable to be the Daimyo of Kuri?”

“…”

“This…”

The eight people looked at each other, and for a moment, they all fell into deep thought. They were seriously considering these matters, seemingly not knowing how to proceed.

“Lady!”

Ashura Doji suddenly stood up, his eyes sharp, and said, “I know your concerns! As for who is loyal and who is not, I do not know! However, I am definitely the most suitable person to be the new Daimyo of Kuri, after all! I was once the leader of the thugs in Kuri!”

Listening to Ashura Doji’s self-recommendation, the others had no thoughts, after all! It was indeed so. Although the people of Kuri now seemed to be living in peace and contentment, do not forget that the former 127 Kuri was a gathering place for a group of chaotic individuals.

These guys, even so, were all ruthless individuals. They submitted to Kozuki Oden, submitted to Kozuki Toki, but! They would never submit to anyone else. And now, Kozuki Toki had returned to Flower Capital with Kozuki Hiyori, so! The most suitable candidate was Ashura Doji.

Because!

The Kozuki family was their king, and Ashura Doji was their big brother. Besides Ashura Doji, no one else could make them submit.

“Hmm!”

Listening to Ashura Doji’s words, Kozuki Toki did not hesitate and nodded seriously, “Ashura Doji, you are the most suitable person to be the Daimyo of Kuri. Tomorrow! At Hiyori’s inauguration ceremony as Shogun, this matter will be confirmed. In addition…”

“Lady!”

Denjiro said seriously at this moment, “I believe! Actually, whether they are loyal or not, this matter is not important. What is truly important is our strength. We need to gradually replace the original forces of Wano Country. Only then! Can Wano Country be brought under our control, otherwise! If the samurai troops remain outside, then…”

“Hmm!”

Kozuki Toki nodded seriously. She naturally knew that Denjiro was right. Just as Denjiro said, the situation in Wano Country was very special now. After all! There were hundreds of large and small families in Wano Country, and if these families really had any ideas, ambition would be an extremely troublesome thing.

The only people Kozuki Toki could trust now were her retainers, and besides them, it was not appropriate for anyone else to hold power.

“Hmm~~~”

Kozuki Toki pondered seriously, “Raizo, continue to form the Oniwabanshu. Even those who betrayed us before, as long as they are willing to follow again, can be released. Form the Oniwabanshu, and I will pardon all their crimes.”

“Yes!”

Raizo immediately nodded seriously. The Oniwabanshu! To put it bluntly, it was the struggle between Raizo and Fukurokuju. If the Kozuki family ascended, then! The leader of the Oniwabanshu would be Raizo. Conversely! Fukurokuju became the leader because he relied on Kurozumi Orochi. Overall! That’s how it was, basically no difference.

And the rest of the subordinates? They all obeyed orders. The Oniwabanshu members were all ninjas, and the path of ninja training, it could be said! Was the path of abandoning all emotions.

Because of this!

Ninjas were almost devoid of any emotions, and the current situation was that after gaining control of the Oniwabanshu, a portion of the power would continue to be held in their hands, and the benefits brought by this would be the greatest, at the very least! For the current Kozuki Toki, the benefits were the greatest!
