New World, Wanokuni, Oden Castle Mansion
"Your Excellency is really powerful. You actually instigated two emperors of the sea to kill each other."
In the Oden Castle mansion, Kozuki Hiyori, Denjiro, Ashura Doji, Inuarashi, Neko Viper, and others gathered, sighing in amazement. News of the destruction of the Beasts Pirates fleet had spread like wildfire throughout Wanokuni.
As the supreme commander of this operation, Garros would never believe it if he said it had nothing to do with him.
Facing everyone's surprised looks, Garros laughed softly. "Since we have decided to recover Wanokuni, we naturally want to ensure the success of the plan as much as possible."
This time was not just to weaken the Beasts Pirates forces and pave the way for subsequent actions. It was also to get the reward of the second and fifth sons of the system. After selling Jack, his Observation Haki had been upgraded from Grandmaster level to Penultimate level. On the way back to Wanokuni, Garros kept experimenting. When fully released, he could roughly perceive everything within a radius of twenty kilometers. If applied in actual combat, he could more clearly understand the enemy's offensive intentions. It had even entered the realm of "predicting the future," able to detect what was happening around him within the next few seconds. If Mangekyō Sharingan was activated again, enemies with strength below the level of Emperor's Deputy would probably not be able to touch him.
"Garros-kun, when do we start taking action?"
Kozuki Hiyori's excited and slightly uneasy voice brought Garros back from his thoughts. "Kaido has left Wanokuni. As long as he appears in Punk Hazard, we can start the final plan. The question is, are you all ready?"
Denjiro nodded, unable to hide the joy on his face. "I have no problem here. There are 10,205 people in total. Speaking of which, where did you get this batch of weapons and equipment? Standard swords, muskets, seastone nets, seastone bullets, and even two hundred cannons...! I have checked them all. These are rare and exquisite items, enough to arm an army of 10,000 people! You can't buy them even if you have money!"
Garros waved his hand. "You don't need to worry about these. By the way, the Devil Fruits have been delivered too, right?"
Denjiro took out twenty exquisite boxes and placed them on the table. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of them."
The two looked at each other and said seriously, "I heard that after eating it, you will turn into a monster and be hated by the sea. You will never be able to touch the sea water for the rest of your life. It will only add a lot of weaknesses. As samurai, we prefer to believe in our own martial arts and the sword in our hands."
Looking at the two men's eyes with fear and a little disgust, Garros didn't say much. Wanokuni had been closed off from the country for so long, and it was indeed difficult for them to accept Devil Fruits. Even if you become an ability user, without a period of familiarity and training, you would have more weaknesses.
At this moment, Hiyori suddenly remembered something and took out two knives, putting them in front of Garros. "This is what my father left for me, the twenty-one-piece sharp sword, Enma! As for this one...it's called Second Generation Kitetsu. A senior named Tenguyama Hitetsu gave it to me after he heard about our affairs. I'm just a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken. It can play a greater role in your hands."
Everyone present was a swordsman with considerable strength, so they naturally had a discerning eye. Their attention was instantly attracted by the two large sharp knives placed on the table.
"Lord Oden's sword!"
"Second Generation Kitetsu is the legendary demon sword..."
The two reluctantly looked away and looked at Garros seriously. "Your Excellency, please don't refuse. Just accept them."
"You don't want them?" Garros was a little surprised. Both of these were sharp swords with twenty-one skills. As a swordsman, there was no reason not to be tempted.
Denjiro smiled bitterly. "It's impossible to say that I'm not moved. Although they all come from Wanokuni, this recovery operation cannot be organized at all without your leadership. Moreover, we have been provided with the necessary funds and weapons and equipment, which should be distributed by you. Of course, the most important thing is that we don't have the confidence to control them. Enma will absorb the user's emission without authorization, and if you are not careful, your power will be drained alive. Over the years, only Kozuki Oden has successfully tamed it. As for Second Generation Kitetsu... If you want to control him, you must have extraordinary courage and strength, otherwise you will be counterattacked by this demonic sword and die violently."
After hearing the other party's explanation, Garros nodded silently and put away the two famous knives on the table. Then he turned his attention to Neko Viper and Inuarashi. Behind the two of them were their subordinates, Pedro and Wanda. Neko Viper sat cross-legged, holding a pipe in his mouth and blowing out a thick circle of smoke.
"Don't worry, we used to be retainers of the Kozuki clan after all. We will naturally contribute to the recovery of Wanokuni. I didn't believe it when I heard Ashura boy describe your abilities before, but now that I see you, you are truly worthy of your reputation."
Hiyori looked at Garros with excitement and said, "Without you, we wouldn't have had any hope of success. Please give the order!"
Garros didn't refuse, his eyes slowly scanning the crowd, and he said in a deep voice, "Denjiro, you are responsible for getting rid of Kurozumi Orochi and his Orochi Imperial Guardsmen."
Denjiro gently touched the scabbard in his hand and solemnly promised, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Garros looked at Ashura Doji aside. "You are responsible for leading people to block the various arteries between Wanokuni and Onigashima."
"No problem."
Then he turned his attention to Neko Viper and Inuarashi. "Kawamatsu, one of the Nine Red Scabbards, is imprisoned in the Rabbit Bowl Quarry. In addition to him, there are many prisoners there. They are all forces that can be united. There are a lot of guards there, and the Beasts Pirates' big sign, Queen, is also guarding it. But it shouldn't be a problem for you. I'll leave this place to you fur tribe. Solve it as quickly as possible and then support other places."
"And I am responsible for dealing with the Beasts Pirates on Onigashima..."
Denjiro and Ashura Doji stood up suddenly. "No! We don't know when Kaido will come back, or whether he will fight with others, or what state he will be in when he comes back. These are all uncertain factors. As the strongest among us, you can't waste your energy elsewhere. You must always be in perfect condition to deal with Kaido that may come. Don't worry, leave the Beasts Pirates to us. As long as Kaido is not defeated, everything will be in vain. As long as we can achieve the final victory, we will do whatever it takes, even if we sacrifice ourselves!"
