"Giotto-dono! Oden-sama has one last request for you!"
Seeing Giotto appear, Raizo did not even hesitate to kneel down before him with a face full of remorse. "Please release this country, Giotto-dono! Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi can not be defeated by our strength alone. Now that Oden-sama has passed away, only you can bring hope to this country!"
He remembered Oden's last wish, which was why he was kneeling in front of Giotto just now. He was aware that his companion was still fighting with Vongola Family, but he still made such a request.
Compared to the stability of this country, the conflict between the Kozuki Clan and Vongola Family was nothing. He believed that Oden also thought the same thing, and that was why he said those words before he passed away.
"I will definitely take down Kaido, but it has nothing to do with Oden. You should be well aware that we've cut our ties after the battle just now."
That was the truth. Originally, he came to Kuri to join hands with Oden. After all, he remembered that the two of them were once crews of Roger's ship and companions in a sense.
However, no one had expected that things would turn out like this.
After being suppressed by the enhanced version of Flame Emperor, he completely withstood the power of the X-Burner, causing Oden to be injured and powerless and finally died at the hands of Kurozumi Kanjuro.
Was this his punishment for believing in this traitor?
"It doesn't matter. Only you can suppress Kaido and release Wano. I am willing to sacrifice my head in exchange!"
At this moment, Raizo even ignored his life. After standing up, he locked his eyes on Kurozumi Kanjuro, "But before that, you'll have to let me personally deal with this traitor first!"
He did not hate Giotto for injuring Oden. He did not even hate the disgusting and ugly Kurozumi Orochi at this moment. Because now, all the hatred in his heart was focused on Kanjuro. Nothing was more shameful than betrayal. It was unforgivable for a retainer to betray their master!
In the next moment, Raizo directly rushed toward Kanjuro. However, Kurozumi Orochi's men did not immediately help Kanjuro. Instead, they all stared at Giotto with vigilance.
Through the information from Kanjuro, they clearly knew that the strength of the leader of the Vongola Family in front of them was not inferior to that of Kozuki Oden!
"You are the leader of the Vongola Family, right?" Kozuki Oden is already dead. Why don't we cooperate? With you, Kaido, plus me, this Wano Country will completely submit to us! "
Kurozumi Orochi looked at Giotto and tempted him. After all, Vongola Family was powerful. Rather than being an enemy, it was better to have them as an ally.
He had already formed an alliance with Kaido, and if he had Vongola Family as an ally, then his position as a Shogun would be stable.
"Do you think Kaido will allow Vongola Family's Emblem to stand next to Beasts Pirates' Jolly Roger?"
Giotto did not directly refuse.
"I will convince him! Wano Country is mine, after all!" He actually thought that he and Kaido were equal and even thought that Kaido would obey him.
He didn't realize that Kaido considered him as nothing but a puppet to control Wano Country. It was also because he was still useful that he could sit firmly in the position of Shogun.
If one day Kaido no longer needed this puppet, he would kill this stupid snake at any time.
To be honest, Giotto had always looked down on Kurozumi Orochi, not because he was evil, but because this guy failed to recognize the situation and measure his own worth.
Even though Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Yamata-no-Orochi that he ate was a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, he was extremely weak. If he could draw this Devil Fruit's power, Giotto believed that the user might rival Kaido.
Therefore, Kurozumi Orochi proved one thing: there was no such thing as powerful Devil Fruit, only a powerful user.
"Forgive me for saying this, but how can a fool like you exist in this world? If I keep talking to you, I feel that my IQ would plummet."
At this point, Giotto clenched his right fist, and then his entire right arm was instantly enveloped with a fierce flame, "I will personally go and take down Kaido. As for you moron, you can go to hell!"
"You should die here! Nevertheless, Kozuki Oden was once my comrade. If he falls here, I will bury you alongside him him!"
"Fire Fist!"
Dealing with a trash like him did not require much effort. Fire Fist was enough!
The scorching flame instantly swallowed everything in front of him. The small forest was also burned, and the fire soared into the sky.
However, Fire Fist, which could burn five warships simultaneously, was actually blocked.
There was an old man standing in front of Kurozumi Orochi. He crossed his hands, and a translucent barrier appeared in front of him, blocking the Fire Fist.
This person was Kurozumi Orochi's right-hand man, the user of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, Kurozumi Semimaru!
It was precisely because of him that it was difficult for Kozuki Oden to kill Kurozumi Orochi. This guy's ability to create a barrier was so extraordinary to the point that it became absolute defense.
Let alone Giotto's Fire Fist, even the Flame Emperor and X-Burner probably would not be able to break through Barrier-Barrier Fruit's defense.
"Please evacuate, I will keep him in bay!" Kurozumi Semimaru looked cautiously at Giotto. Although he had the defense ability of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, which was a really amazing ability, his opponent was someone who could defeat Kozuki Oden. He could not afford to let his guard down.
"Alright, alright, hold him off here. Don't let him anywhere near me, understand? I'll get Kaido right now. Kaido will butcher this guy for me!"
Kurozumi Orochi was obviously frightened by Giotto's attack just now. He quickly retreated with his men protecting him.
Giotto also did not choose to pursue. He now had to deal with Kurozumi Semimaru. As for Kurozumi Orochi...
Could it be that he planned to escape from Wano Country?
