Chapter 116 Kurozumi Orochi's card
When Crocodile made up his mind.
Grand Line, New World, Wanokuni.
The Flower Capital, the shogun's mansion.
The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and there is singing and dancing all around.
In a room in the shogun's mansion.
Bang!
A crisp sound was heard.
A man with a big body, a big head and mouth, a square face, and a crown on the left side of his head is sitting on the tatami.
He looked at the secret guard in front of him in shock.
Even though the wine bowl in his hand fell and the wine spilled on his yellow collar, he didn't care at all.
"You said the King of Terror is Here. That legendary pirate has come to Wano Country. How is that possible? How did he get up here?!"
This person is none other than Kurozumi Orochi, the current shogun of Wano Country.
But now he looked confused and helpless.
Because that man arrived.
Although Orochi did not pay much attention to overseas intelligence, he did not know much about other big pirates in the New World.
But there was one pirate he knew more clearly, and that was the King of Terror, Ryomen Sukuna, who was already famous in the New World.
Because of what that man said after defeating the Big Mom Pirates.
The whole New World is his property.
In everyone's view, it was undoubtedly a declaration of war on the entire New World.
If someone else said this, it would only make people think they were wishful thinking and become a laughing stock.
But he was the man who single-handedly defeated the Big Mom Pirates, one of the pirate overlords of the New World.
With that man's strength, no one would think he was joking!
Precisely because he is so dangerous, the man's route is closely watched by countries and pirate leaders in the New World.
At the same time, because of the seriousness of the matter, Kurozumi Higurashi, the wise woman behind Orochi, explained the danger of the situation to Orochi. ( Kurozumi Higurashi the woman who give Orochi his devil fruit)
Orochi also learned about the existence of the King of Fear, Ryomen Sukuna.
He didn't know exactly how powerful this man was.
But he knew that Kurozumi Higurashi said that Big Mom in the New World was a pirate more powerful than Kaido.
But she still lost the battle, which shows how much of a monster that man is.
Now that this man has come to Wano Country, he feels that Kaido can't even protect himself.
Not to mention myself.
"Ahem, calm down! Lord Orochi!"
Looking at the panic-stricken big snake, a light cough from an old woman came from behind Orochi.
An old woman with a hooked nose and loose white hair warned Orochi.
Now that the secret guards are still in front of him, the Lord's dignity has been completely lost by Orochi's attitude.
Although he doesn't have much majesty.
"Yes, yes, Granny Higurashi, what should I do now? It seems that Kaido can't beat that big pirate!"
At this time, Orochi turned around and looked at Kurozumi Higurashi behind him.
He asked in an anxious tone.
Kurozumi Higurashi shook her head and signaled the secret guards to retreat first.
After the secret guards left, she smiled sinisterly.
"Doesn't that man want the entire New World to be his territory? Then we can make contact first, pretend to be friendly and surrender, and if Kaido is defeated, we can also take advantage of the situation to have a bigger backer!"
Hearing what Kurozumi Higurashi said, Kurozumi Orochi's expression became somewhat uncertain.
Obviously he was not satisfied with the idea of surrendering, although Kaido, who is now entrenched in Wano Country, is indeed his backer.
But at least on the surface it is in the name of cooperation, rather than a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Looking at Kurozumi Orochi's expression, Kurozumi Higurashi also knew that his self-esteem was at work.
The reason why she didn't directly say cooperation was that she had a certain understanding of the man nicknamed the King of Terror.
That man is definitely an arrogant person.
Going up and directly asking for cooperation is simply seeking death.
Therefore, it is better to prepare Kurozumi Orochi mentally in advance, so as to avoid getting into trouble when the time comes.
"Lord Orochi, this is only temporary. That man is alone. Even if we really surrender to him, Wano Country is still under your control! And Kaido may not necessarily be defeated!"
After hearing what Kurozumi Higurashi said, Orochi finally nodded.
"Then we can get rid of Granny Higurashi's problem!"
Normally, Orochi would not be so respectful.
But every time at a critical moment, it was Kurozumi Higurashi who helped and gave advice.
It is the same now. At this time, Orochi's attitude will be much better.
As for the attitude of Orochi, Kurozumi Higurashi didn't care at all.
She just wants the Kurozumi family to prosper again.
"Then let me go and negotiate! And we still have a card! If things don't go well this time, we can also use it!"
Hearing Kurozumi Higurashi's words, Orochi was a little confused.
The King of Fear is so powerful that he can't think of any cards he has except Kaido.
Are you relying on Kurozumi Semimaru's ability to resist?
Looking at the confused look of Kurozumi Orochi.
Kurozumi Higurashi also hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"Kozuki Oden of the Kozuki family and his nine retainers!"
Hearing Kurozumi Higurashi's words, Kurozumi Orochi immediately came back to his senses.
"Kozuki Oden, yes, there is also Kozuki Oden, hehehehe! That's it!"
As soon as Oden was mentioned, bad ideas suddenly popped up in Kurozumi Orochi's mind.
It would be much easier for Orochi to use that guy.
After all, that idiot has been dancing for several years.
Even if he can do this kind of thing, it won't be difficult for Orochi to control Oden to fight Sukuna.
Seeing Kurozumi Orochi come to his senses, Kurozumi Higurashi nodded.
At least Orochi's mind is relatively bright when it comes to Kozuki Oden.
She nodded towards Kurozumi Orochi and walked outside.
Following her was Kurozumi Semimaru, who was known as the master of the lute. (The previous use of Barrier-Barrier fruit)
This trip may be dangerous, and Kurozumi Higurashi also needs some insurance.
