Orochi's Death

Hiyori looked at the man in front of her.

Ugly, cowardly, despicable, cruel.

All the worst human traits can be found in him.

The tragedy all began with this man.

The reason this country has become like this, and the reason its people have fallen into hell, is all because of the actions of this man.

Today is the day to end everything.

Hiyori's hand was already on the hilt of the Nidai Kitetsu sword at her waist.

Um?

Something's not right!

Something's off about this woman!

Although Orochi was blinded by lust, he wasn't truly a useless fool; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to rip Kozuki off his head.

He instinctively took two steps back. "Kyoshiro! What's wrong with this woman? How do you discipline him?"

"You've got it wrong, Orochi,"

Denjiro raised his head, his hand also resting on the hilt of his sword. He smiled and said, "It is always the lord who disciplines the retainer, never the other way around."

"Lord?"

Fukurokuju's expression changed slightly, and he instantly moved to block the Orochi. "Kyoshiro! What do you want to say? And who exactly is this woman?"

What am I trying to say?

Denjiro chuckled lightly, "Of course it is. Orochi, the long-standing game of make-believe is over. Are you ready to die?"

"Kyoshiro, you bastard!!" Orochi gritted his teeth.

This guy he'd trusted for so many years was actually an enemy spy?

"As for this lord's identity," Denjiro looked at Hiyori's retreating figure, "Your Highness, perhaps we should tell them?"

"Then let me introduce myself one last time."

Hiyori slowly drew the twin swords from her waist, and a dark, domineering Haki spread down, turning both the Nidai Kitetsu and Shusui black at the same time, with invisible fluctuations beginning to ripple.

That sword is--

Fukurokuju's expression changed.

Without a doubt, the blade held in this woman's right hand is National Treasure of Wano Country! It's the Famous Sword used by the sword Divine Dragon Ryuma, the Black Blade Shusui!

That knife was stolen by foreign pirates long ago!

This woman has returned from overseas!

"Kurozumi Orochi, remember the name of the one who killed you!"

Hiyori took a step forward.

Fukurokuju suddenly raised his hand.

With a hissing sound, several kunai shot towards Hiyori.

However, such an attack didn't even give Hiyori eyelids. She simply swung the Nidai Kitetsu casually, and a magnificent slash roared out, knocking all the kunai away.

The massive slash continued forward, cleaving through the tops of Fukurokuju and Orochi, piercing the Tenshukaku and soaring into the sky.

This--

Ashura Doji watched this scene in astonishment.

What amazing swordsmanship!

Has that gentle and lovely Princess Hiyori inherited Lord Oden's power and grown into an outstanding samurai?

Fukurokuju's expression suddenly changed; this woman is amazing!

He's probably no less Kyoshiro!

Hiyori slowly exhaled, then her eyes darkened. "Remember this clearly, Kurozumi Orochi, my name is..."

The next instant, she launched herself forward, shouting, "Kozuki Hiyori!"

"..."

The Orochi's face instantly froze.

The complexions of the Fukurokuju, and Shou changed simultaneously.

Is Kozuki?

But now is not the time to hesitate.

"Attack together!"

He shouted and charged ahead to meet Hiyori.

At the same time, several more ninjas rushed out from all sides of the room, surrounding Hiyori from different directions.

However, Hiyori is not a single person.

"How can we allow bastards like you to interfere with our lord's revenge?"

Three figures appeared simultaneously beside Hiyori.

Denjiro and Ashura Doji drew their swords simultaneously, Duke Inuarashi tore off his bandages and drew his sword.

Ta-da!

In the blink of an eye, all the ninjas were sent flying.

Then, one of the ninjas exclaimed in surprise.

"Kobolds!! Fat samurai!! Who are you--"

"The Red-Sheath Samurai!!!"

"The Red Scabbards? The spirits still wandering Wano Country!"

Fukurokuju gritted his teeth, formed hand seals, and roared, "Your era and the era of Kozuki are over!!"

His long earlobes grew even longer, hurtling towards Hiyori like bullets.

"Oden Two-Blade Style-- "

Hiyori lowered her body, like a cheetah poised to pounce.

"Gun - Demon Simulator!"

In the next instant, the Hiyori transformed into light, whistling past Fukurokuju's side.

Then, in the next second, Fukurokuju's expression suddenly changed, and he flew into the sky, blood splattering from his two huge, intersecting wounds.

At the same time, Hiyori had already swooped down in front of the Orochi.

"You--"

Kurozumi Orochi's face was filled with terror. Before he could say anything, Hiyori had already kicked him in the chest.

The shogun, who had ruled Wano Country for nearly twenty years, was sent flying, crashing into the Tenshukaku and soaring into the sky.

"Waaaaah!"

The Orochi screamed in agony.

He saw the ground below as he circled in the sky.

No.

If you fall like that, you'll definitely die!

His body had swollen.

Then very quickly, he grew eight heads and transformed into the enormous Eight-Headed Serpent Orochi.

Boom!

The enormous object crashed to the ground, shaking the earth and sending dust flying.

What happened?

Something fell from the Tenshukaku!

People nearby looked over in surprise.

Then, amidst the smoke, the Eight-Headed Serpent Orochi burst through the dust and fled in utter terror towards the other end of the street.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Kozuki has actually returned!

We'll die! Staying here will definitely mean death!

Go find Kaido!

Only he can save me!

"It's Shogun Orochi!"

"He seems very scared?"

"What exactly happened?"

People were talking about it.

Then, at that very moment, a figure appeared in the sky, swinging her sword and turning around mid-air.

"Oden Two-Blade Style - Peach Blossom Ten Fists!"

A magnificent slash descended from the sky, striking the fleeing Orochi's back with tremendous force.

Even the toughest Mythical Zoan cannot withstand such a powerful slash without the aid of Haki.

The Orochi was almost cut in half at the waist, and blood splattered dozens of meters into the air.

"Aaaaaah!!"

He screamed in agony.

Hiyori landed lightly on the street in front of Orochi. She slowly approached, "Zoan Snake-Snake Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Yamata no Orochi Form, which grants you power similar to resurrection, right, Orochi? I'm curious, how many times can this resurrection be used?"

"Don't come any closer!! Don't come any closer!!"

Sure enough, the Orochi, which had been nearly dead, rose again, howling in terror, "I am the shogun of Wano Country! You mustn't harm me!!"

He looked around and shouted, "You trash, come and protect me!"

The crowd retreated in unison.

Who would be willing to risk their life for that scumbag general?

But who exactly is this female warrior? How dare she attempt to assassinate Orochi!

Isn't she afraid of Kaido?

However, while the common people did not move, the nearby guards prepared to come and protect their lord.

But at that moment, Denjiro descended from the sky, casually tossing a ninja aside and shouting, "Stop!!"

"This lady's name is Kozuki Hiyori! She is the rightful heir to the throne of Wano Country, the daughter of Lord Oden!"

"This moment is the time for Kozuki's revenge! This is the time for Wano Country to set things right! This is the dawn of this nation!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Kozuki?"

"That, Oden's daughter, the fool?"

Will this country truly see the dawn of a new era?

Even the guards stopped.

They were also hesitant.

It seems like there's no chance of winning?

How did they manage to Kyoshiro?

"It seems no one is coming to save you."

Hiyori had already reached Kurozumi Orochi and raised her twin swords.

No! No! Don't!

The Kurozumi Orochi trembled with fear, "You can't do this to me!"

"I have nothing more to say to you, Oden Two-Blade Style, Peach Blossom White Waterfall!"

The Orochi was severed once more.

I waited Hiyori and peacefully.

Soon, the Orochi's body recovered.

He collapsed to the ground in terror, almost howling, "It was my fault! I stole it—"

"Peach Blossom White Waterfall!"

"Waaaaah!! Spare me, please spare me!"

"Peach Blossom White Waterfall!"

"I fooled Oden; he feigned madness to protect the people..."

"Peach Blossom White Waterfall!"

"Peach Blossom White Waterfall!"

Even the most powerful abilities have their limits.

The Orochi ultimately did not revive.

Hiyori was breathing slightly heavily.

Finally, they killed the guy.

And then, the very last one!
