Kaido's Betrayal!

"My husband!!!"

Just as the world fell into a deathly silence, a mournful cry from the Toki resounded throughout the entire arena.

Although she didn't Observation Haki, she could still sense Kozuki Oden's death. It was a heart-wrenching pain, and tears instinctively streamed down her face.

This woman had personally lost her young son and daughter, and now she watched helplessly as her husband died before her eyes; she had lost everything.

She was so convinced that her husband was a man who wouldn't die easily.

"Oden!!!"

Lady Toki's mournful cry also startled Kin'emon and the other Kozuki Family, who rushed forward with faces full of despair.

No one noticed that Kanjuro, who was also a retainer, was still standing there, staring blankly at the afterimages of Kin'emon, Denjiro, Kikunojo, Ashura Doji, Kawamatsu, and Shinobu, as if he was still immersed in grief and unable to extricate himself.

"Wano Country is finished."

Shimotsuki Ushimaru and Shimotsuki Kouka exchanged a bitter glance and shook their heads.

The only hope is gone.

They are now unable to break through Kurozumi Semimaru's barrier, cannot defeat Kaido, and are even less likely to be a match for the suddenly appearing Byndi Wald.

"Run, Master!"

At this moment, one of Ushimaru's retainers hurriedly approached and said, "Let's escape back to Ringo first. Wano Country is so big, we Izo and look for another opportunity!"

His suggestion rekindled the desire for life in those who were contemplating suicide.

"Gyuumaru, he's right. Although Oden died in battle, we still have you. As long as you're alive, as long as you can break through to that level, there's still hope for Wano Country!"

Shimotsuki Kouka grabbed Shimotsuki Ushimaru's arm and said in a deep voice.

"With my qualifications, it might take another ten years."

"Then we'll endure for ten years!"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru pursed his lips, then nodded emphatically after a moment. His eyes hardened again, and he said firmly, "Alright, let's go back to Ringo!"

"Walk!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a deep look in the direction where Kozuki Oden had died, then turned his Mato around and hurriedly left with the remaining few thousand Samurai.

Unbeknownst to them, the 400-meter-tall black Titans had vanished without a trace, leaving only surging waves that forced Kin'emon and his companions, who were searching for the family head's remains, to retreat helplessly.

"Leave it to me, everyone!"

Kawamatsu, being Fish-Man, stepped forward and continued running towards the waves before plunging into the water. Kin'emon and the others could only pray that he would be alright.

"Brother Kaido, are we just going to let them go like this?"

In the air, Jin, flapping his black wings, looked at the retreating figures of Shimotsuki Ushimaru and the others and asked a question.

"This is part of the plan."

Kaido reverted from his Azure Dragon Form to human form, wielding a spiked club as he descended towards Kurozumi Orochi and the others.

[Bang----]

With a whooshing sound, his enormous body, as tall as two buildings, crashed heavily to the ground amidst the wary gazes of the crowd, before slowly emerging from the thick smoke.

Ember's black figure, glowing with Huoguang, followed closely behind.

"Phew, it's Kaido. I thought it was that Byndi Wald from before," Kurozumi Orochi said, patting his chest with lingering fear.

At the same time.

Kurozumi Higurashi also loosened her tightly clenched fingers, Dispel the seemingly indestructible and absolutely defensive Barrier Bowl.

"Captain!"

When Queen saw Kaido approaching, he quickly went to meet him and then stood behind him, just like King.

In fact, the Beasts Pirates are now down to just the three of them. The lower-ranking crew members were all killed instantly when Byndi Wald fell as a black meteor.

However, the three of them didn't mind.

According to the original battle plan, even without Byndi Wald's arrival, these men were to be wiped out after killing all the Samurai.

No one expected that Kaido would be defeated by Kozuki Oden!

The old hag, Kurozumi Higurashi, asked suspiciously, "Did you invite that Byndi Wald?"

"I guess so."

After a Kaido gave this answer; what else could he say?

"Hehehe~ Now, as long as we kill all those daimyo and Samurai, there will be no more voices against us in this country!"

At this moment, Kurozumi Orochi grinned wildly with immense excitement, and in his excitement, he even started dancing again, much to the disgust of Queen Kaido.

"That was a really ugly jump."

Suddenly, Kaido seemed to chuckle, tilting his head back and laughing loudly, "Worororo, indeed, we can finally transform this place into a land of war!"

After saying that, he inexplicably added, "Thinking back, your method of Imitation Magic Kozuki Sukiyaki to steal the Shogun was indeed ingenious."

"Now that Kozuki Oden and Kozuki Momonosuke are both dead, the Kozuki Family bloodline is completely extinguished. From now on, the Shogun of Wano Country can only be your Kurozumi Clan."

At this moment, Kanjuro walked over discreetly and stood behind Kurozumi Orochi. Upon hearing Kaido's words, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

After being an undercover agent for Kozuki for so many years, he's finally getting a good outcome!

Kurozumi Orochi and the others were taken aback; they hadn't expected Kaido to bring this up suddenly.

But the thought that Kozuki Oden was dead, and that the Samurai of those daimyo had suffered heavy casualties and would die sooner or later, made him feel relieved.

"Hehehehe, that's Mu Chan's plan, of course it's brilliant!" Kurozumi Clan laughed heartily, while Kurozumi Higurashi's face was also full of pride.

It's important to understand that everything that happened in Wano Country was ultimately orchestrated by her; you could easily call yourself the mastermind behind it all!

While the Kurozumi Clan members were immersed in the joy of becoming a shogun's family, they failed to notice that the faces of the Oniwabanshu, led by Fukurokuju, turned grim.

"Yes, as a reward for you, I will give you a generous gift."

At that moment, Kaido suddenly revealed a terrifying grin, and streaks of purple Raiden flashed on the spiked club in his hand.

"Not good!!"

Kurozumi Semimaru was the first to realize something was wrong. Just as he instinctively tried to clench his fingers, Kaido had already teleported above his head.

"The Three Worlds Return - Naraku!"

The thick, long black iron rod transformed into a bolt of Purple Lightning, slamming down heavily onto the back of Kurozumi Semimaru's head, causing him to be smashed into the shattered crater with his Byakugan rolled back, and beaten to death.

"Aaaaaaah!"

Kurozumi Orochi was stunned for a moment in disbelief, but then screamed and fell to the ground. His orange kimono was soaked with urine, and a foul smell filled the air.

"What are you doing, Kaido?!"

Kurozumi Higurashi also pointed at Kaido, trembling, her eyes filled with fear of death and deep confusion.

But she quickly realized that at this moment, what she needed most was not to ask for a reason, but to ensure her safety, so she roared at the group of ninjas, including Fukurokuju, who were not far away.

"Oniwabanshu, are you blind?! Come and protect us!!"

The ninjas looked at each other with hesitant expressions, none of them moving an inch, even their leader, Fukurokuju, was caught in a dilemma.

"Worororo, you guys were just praising me, and now you're showing your stupid side~"

Kaido, with one foot planted on the corpse of Kurozumi Semimaru, glanced coldly at Kurozumi Orochi, Kurozumi Higurashi, and Kurozumi Kanjuro, and grinned maliciously.

"The Oniwabanshu only obey the orders of the Shogun of Wano Country, but you have already admitted that you are imposters~~" After saying that, he looked at Fukurokuju and the others with murderous intent and warned them.

"Wano Country no longer has a shogun. I advise you to stay there and not move. A new shogun will naturally appear to take over your duties in a few days!"
