Wano Country's New Shogun!

[Call out------]

The sharp, whistling sound of something cutting through the air drew ever closer.

The next moment, Gion and Mihawk saw Byndi Wald, who had returned to his normal size, fly onto the warship's deck from below using Geppo.

[Bang!]

As soon as this 'World Destroyer' Gangyi, he threw the lifeless Kozuki Oden to the ground, showing no respect whatsoever to Edward Newgate's sworn brother, former Roger Pirates member, and the daimyo of Kuri in Kuri Wano Country.

At the same time.

The two Great Grade Swords, 'Ame no Habakiri' and 'Enma', were thrown over. Gion and Mihawk, as true swordsmen, naturally could not ignore such Famous Sword, and each caught one.

"Mission accomplished. Is my achievement enough now?" Byndi Wald, standing at four meters tall, sneered condescendingly.

"Once you arrive at Army Headquarters in Randfirth, you will be officially awarded the rank and position of Army General. Congratulations."

Mihawk remained unperturbed by his attitude, simply meeting his gaze calmly. Unlike the other Celestial Dragons, he was not intolerant of even the slightest disrespect.

Here's the situation.

The World Government originally intended to give Byndi Wald the rank of Army Lieutenant General.

After all, strictly speaking, his overall strength did not reach the highest level of combat power, and he was originally One Piece with insufficient achievements.

Certainly.

Its strongest form, lasting twelve hours, is enough to instantly kill all non-top-tier combat power players and some top-tier goalkeepers with relatively weak foundations.

For example, Sakazuki, and Kozuki Oden.

But Byndi Wald was displeased when he heard that the only current Army General was a 31-year-old kid.

He now appears to be three years younger than Kozuki Oden, whom he had just beaten to death.

As a veteran powerhouse who rivaled 'White Roger Gold' in his generation, even if he was forced to join the World Government now, his status and treatment couldn't be low.

Otherwise, if I encounter those old adversaries again at sea and they ask me what happened, I'll find out I'm just a Vice Admiral. That would be incredibly embarrassing!

So, right there in that 'Level 6 Infinite Hell' cell, he challenged that 'Admiral Akainu' to a one-on-one duel, and whoever won would become Admiral!

In the military, the strong are respected, and in this world where extraordinary power is combined, this characteristic becomes even more pronounced and severe.

Just like in the original work, Sakazuki and Kuzan had to compete for the position of Navy Fleet Admiral through a duel, strength is the only true measure of success.

So his request is actually quite normal.

The problem is that the World Government is well aware that Sakazuki's position as Army General was a forced appointment, and he is still a step away from reaching the level of top combat power.

Imagine if he were to face off against this 'World Destroyer'.

Left with no other choice, after careful consideration, the Five Elders decided to give Byndi Wald a mission: to help the World Government suppress Kozuki Oden and remove obstacles to the conquest of Wano Country.

After completing this task, he will be promoted to Army General based on this great achievement!

This is considered a great achievement for several reasons. First, Kozuki Oden was undoubtedly one of the strongest fighters. Second, Wano Country is a country that the World Government has been unable to conquer for hundreds of years. Third, the country's resources are of extremely high value.

Byndi Wald, while still feeling resentful of Admiral alongside a kid, accepted the offer.

"Since that's the case, then I'll leave the rest to myself. I think Kaido than capable of handling the remaining Samurai!" With that, Byndi Wald transformed into a blur and leaped out of the warship, flying at supersonic speed towards the outskirts of Wano Country.

Mihawk made no attempt to stop him, which puzzled Gion. Holding her Ame no Habakiri, she asked, "Are we just going to let him go like that?"

Mihawk instantly understood the implication of her words.

"He's going to the Drum Kingdom. Once he sees that everything is arranged correctly, he'll head to Army Headquarters himself."

Although the World Government did not impose any restrictions on Byndi Wald, the allure of the Star Gate and the Otherworld was its greatest temptation.

Unfortunately, Gion is still unaware of these things.

Just as the two were talking, another group of figures flew up from below.

Kaido, now transformed into Azure Dragon, used his Flame Clouds to bind Kurozumi Orochi, Kurozumi Higurashi, Kurozumi Kanjuro, Fukurokuju, and the 'accidentally' killed Kurozumi Semimaru.

Beside him was Jhin, who was holding Queen's fat body in both hands. Although the former said it was all muscle, the latter felt that it was soft.

The sudden appearance of seven living people and one dead person—or rather, two dead people—made the deck much livelier.

"Navy?!"

Unlike Kurozumi Orochi could only tremble in fear, and the others who had never left Wano Country in their entire lives, Kurozumi Higurashi had lived overseas for decades, recognized the origin of the warship at a glance.

"It turns out the World Government has attacked Wano Country. That Byndi Wald was one of them too." The old hag suddenly understood everything.

But she still had a question: why would Kaido and the Beasts Pirates obey the World Government's orders?

This doesn't make sense!

"Uh, this gentleman..."

Just as Kurozumi Higurashi's face was creased with wrinkles and she was about to force a smile, wanting to chat with Mihawk, who was clearly in charge, she realized that she was about to have a word with him.

The latter didn't even glance at her, waved his hand to the naval officers waiting nearby, and coldly ordered, "Lock those three in the cell, and freeze those two corpses."

"Yes!"

"Wait, wait a minute, we can talk."

Kurozumi Higurashi frantically shouted as several Marines dragged her away, but they paid her no attention; after all, their only value was the Devil Fruit they possessed.

"Kaido, how could you kill Kurozumi Semimaru? I remember telling you that he was more important than anyone else!" Mihawk frowned and questioned him bluntly.

"Hmph, I didn't expect this old bastard to be so fragile. He died even after I used half my strength."

Kaido shrugged dismissively, "You should know how difficult his barrier is to deal with. I could only strike him when he was off guard!"

In fact, he killed him on purpose, otherwise he wouldn't have used "The Three Worlds' Appearance - Naraku". He was angry but couldn't act at the time, and killing him made him feel better.

After hearing Kaido's explanation, Mihawk felt something was off, but considering Kurozumi Semimaru's abilities, he thought it made sense. Besides, since the man was already dead, there was no point in saying more.

"By the way, I have to ask you guys, am I going to the Army or somewhere else?" Kaido couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

"You don't need to worry about these things for now; we'll let you know when the time comes."

Mihawk shook his head without answering, because according to their previous plan, Kaido would stay on Onigashima for the next few years.

Of course, you can occasionally apply to visit the Kabane World.

Next, Mihawk turned his gaze to Fukurokuju, whose leader seemed somewhat nervous, or perhaps he was currently in a state of inner turmoil.

"The Kozuki family is gone, the Kurozumi Clan family is gone, and it won't be long before the other daimyo families disappear as well. So, what are you Oniwabanshu planning to do?"

The former's words pierced the latter's heart like a needle, causing Fukurokuju's heart to tremble violently. What was a ninja without a general to serve?

The next second, Mihawk, wielding 'Enma' and carrying 'Black Blade Night' on his back, looked at him and said in a deep voice.

"From now on, I, Joracol Mihawk, will serve as the Shogun of Wano Country, and I hereby authorize the Oniwabanshu to me!"
