Samurai Slaughtering Each Other!

Blood stained the ground of Kuri Village red. Looking at the chaotic scene of screams, fighting and corpses everywhere, Ashura Doji, who was also wielding a butcher's knife, seemed to be transported back to Kuri fourteen years ago.

Before Kozuki Oden came here, he was known as the most dangerous man in Kuri, so he naturally had the most profound experience of Kuri at that time.

Back then, Kuri was just like it is now, filled with the stench of blood, a land that resembled Hell.

Those generals and daimyo not only completely abandoned their control over this area, but also went even further by exiling criminals, hooligans, and scum from various villages here.

Every day, every night, people die in battles, duels, or assassinations.

"Kill them!"

"Die, you damned One Piece!"

A bloodthirsty Samurai to Ashura Doji's right, ignoring the bloody wound on his left arm, roared as he got up from the ground.

[Pfft--]

Just as he was about to charge at the Beasts One Piece not far away again, he suddenly felt a chill in his vest. As blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, he looked down in disbelief at the blood-stained blade that had burst out of his abdomen.

"How... how... possible?"

Behind him stood a Samurai with a cold smile, forcefully pulling his Samurai from the man's body, leaving him to fall helplessly into a pool of blood.

"Get out of my way, Samurai!"

Just as the man turned around to find his next target for a backstab, an extremely violent and furious roar sounded behind him. He instinctively turned around and was surprised to find a tall Beasts One Piece charging towards him.

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

"I am Orochi!"

Before the Samurai could finish speaking, he was chopped in half at the waist with an axe, and then his head, which had just fallen to the ground, was stomped into the bloody mud.

The situation on the battlefield is very strange now; One Piece are fighting Samurai, and Samurai are fighting Samurai other.

It's all messed up.

And it's becoming increasingly chaotic.

The two thousand Samurai that Kurozumi Orochi threw into the battlefield completely muddied the waters of the entire battlefield. Their backstabbing made the Samurai, who were originally united in hatred against the enemy, feel insecure.

They were Samurai from two different regions, Rabbit Bowl and Himi, and they didn't know each other. Even Samurai from the same region couldn't recognize each other, especially in such a chaotic battlefield.

The only distinguishing feature between friend and foe is their Samurai attire and the black leather jackets worn by the Beasts One Piece!

Now, even Samurai uniforms can't be used to distinguish who's friendly.

As for the Beasts Pirates, it would be even more impossible for them to recognize who were Samurai under Kurozumi Orochi's command and who were Samurai under the command of those daimyo.

One Piece, whose minds are filled with nothing but killing, can only apply the principle of "equality among all beings" and kill every Samurai in front of them!

In this way...

The Beasts Pirates had no trouble distinguishing friend from foe, which allowed them to rapidly increase their efficiency in killing Samurai. Relying on their strong physiques and Haki power, wherever they went, there was bloodshed and dismemberment.

A mere thousand or so One Piece were able to wreak havoc among a group of nearly ten thousand Samurai!

The most ridiculous thing is that even amidst such a massacre, the Samurai were still fighting each other!

"How so?"

On the deck of the Floating Warship, Gion watched the Samurai below slaughtering each other, and felt truly sorry for them, pitiful, and lamentable.

To her, Samurai should die in a fair fight, not from a despicable betrayal.

"From a certain perspective, Kurozumi Orochi did indeed help the Beasts Pirates, which can be considered a help to us as well." Mihawk crossed his arms and calmly watched everything unfold.

Having grown up outside of Mary Geoise, constantly facing thugs wielding knives, he was already accustomed to deception, lies, and betrayal.

This is actually one of the reasons why he doesn't like to team up with others.

On the contrary, swordsmen like Gion, who grew up in the training environment of the Marine Headquarters, still have a more obvious naivety and immaturity in their personality.

Just then, the two spotted another large, dark force rushing towards them from afar, trailing thick smoke. This time, the number of people was several times larger than that of the previous Kurozumi Orochi's group!

"That must cost tens of thousands!"

Gion covered her mouth in astonishment, looking at the scene that could only be described as covering the entire mountainside, and exclaimed, "In that case, there must be 20,000 troops gathered in this Kuri area!"

"Shimotsuki Ushimaru, Shimotsuki Kouka, now all the characters are here."

Mihawk's sharp Hawk Eyes fell on Shimotsuki Ushimaru, who was urging his horse onward, and he thought to himself, "Is this a direct descendant of Shimotsuki Ryuma?"

"Whoa----"

Meanwhile, on Shimotsuki Ushimaru's side, seeing the chaotic scene not far away, he quickly pulled on his warhorse and waved back to give the order to stop advancing, shouting.

"Something's wrong!"

Hyogoro of the Flower nodded, his expression grave, and said, "Indeed, why are those Samurai killing each other? If we rush in, we'll only become one of them!"

"It must be Kurozumi Orochi's doing."

At this moment, Shimotsuki Kouka pointed to the rear of the Beasts Pirates. Although there was a battlefield with nearly 10,000 people fighting in the middle, and nothing could be seen with the naked eye, his Observation Haki allowed him to sense the presence of familiar people.

"He only had about five thousand ninjas with him!"

Upon hearing this, everyone understood, and they all revealed expressions of Wrath, disdain, and contempt, especially Yokozuna Urashima, who launched into a tirade of curses.

"Orochi is truly despicable; how can someone like him become the shogun of Wano Country?"

Shimotsuki Kouka also contorted with anger, said, "I've said it before: Kurozumi Orochi is a great pest in the vast forests, vegetation, rivers, and villages of Wano Country!"

"Let's go around it."

Shimotsuki Ushimaru was the only one whose mindset remained unaffected. After carefully observing the battle situation and terrain, he made a suggestion.

"We'll split into two groups, flanking the battlefield from the left and right. First, we'll deal with Kurozumi Orochi and the ninjas, then surround the entire battlefield, gradually withdrawing the Samurai from Himi and Rabbit Bowl villages. Finally, we'll target the Orochi warriors and the Beasts One Piece one by one."

"Good!"

Shimotsuki Kouka immediately agreed, saying fiercely, "Kurozumi Orochi must be handed over to me in the end; I want to kill him myself!"

For some reason, a strong killing intent suddenly welled up in his heart, and he felt that he would not be able to get through the matter until he killed Kurozumi Orochi.

"In that case, I am willing to lend a hand to Lord Hakumai!" Yokozuna Urashima said gruffly.

The group quickly reached a battle plan: the 10,000 Samurai were divided into two 5,000-man units. Shimotsuki Ushimaru and Hyogoro of the Flower's unit went to the left, while Shimotsuki Kouka's unit went to the right.

They were like two large pincers, seemingly poised to encircle the central battlefield.

This also attracted the attention and alarm of Kurozumi Orochi's side.

"What do we do? What do we do?!"

"Damn Shimotsuki Ushimaru, and that wretched Shimotsuki Kouka, do they have to pick on me? These bastards! Traitors!"

Kurozumi Higurashi watched helplessly as Kurozumi Orochi stomped his feet in anger and cursed loudly on the luxurious carriage. He felt utterly exhausted.

"Stop cursing, prepare for battle, we have nowhere to retreat."

He hadn't expected that the invincible Kaido wouldn't be able to quickly defeat Kozuki Oden, leaving them now facing a pincer attack from ten thousand Samurai.

As for the more specific situation, Kurozumi Higurashi's strength was not enough to see clearly. She had no idea that Kaido was not only unable to defeat Oden, but was in a completely disadvantageous position.

At this moment, Kurozumi Semimaru stepped forward and said, "I will go and block one side."
