The Legend of the Six Heroes of the Snow Country!

"Defeated! The Daimyo Alliance Army suffered tens of thousands of casualties!!"

"Kozuki Oden is dead! The Kozuki bloodline is completely extinguished!!"

The people of the Flower Capital were bewildered. Not long after they got up in the morning, they heard shouts coming from outside, and what they were saying was extremely shocking.

The news of the complete annihilation of the Kozuki Oden family, in particular, plunged the city, which had been under the rule of the Kozuki family for hundreds of years, into a deathly silence.

Although many people were disappointed by Kozuki Oden's nude dance over the past year, compared to the five years he danced in the original story, people today are not as disgusted by it.

"Will the generals of this country really be surnamed Kurozumi Clan from now on? That despicable clan."

On the street, an elderly man in a kimono with white hair looked up at the sky and sighed. The sky was still blue with white Bai Yun, but in his sorrowful eyes, it seemed as if it were filled with dark clouds.

To everyone's surprise, several days passed, and Kurozumi Orochi and the others had not returned to the Flower Capital, nor had any related news been sent back.

On the contrary, the situation Ringo seemed to be very tense.

Two days ago, Kaido Azure Dragon, descended upon Rabbit Bowl Fugetsu Castle and burned it completely to the ground with a single Bolo Breath. King and Queen then went to the most desolate part of the Himi, and slaughtered all the Samurai of Shuiyue Castle before burning it to the ground.

Yesterday, Kaido again went to Hakumai and unleashed Tatsumaki, bringing ruin to the Kouka Castle.

This caused widespread panic in the Flower Capital, with everyone glancing at the sky every now and then, fearing that the terrifying Divine Dragon would appear overhead.

But everyone knows that as the capital of the Flower Capital, Kaido will definitely come sooner or later!

Ringo.

This region is perpetually wintery, with snow falling constantly and bitter cold, hence its nickname "Snow Country" in Wano Country.

Similarly, this is also the final resting place for the men of Wano Country.

This country has a very interesting custom: all boys are given a Samurai sword at birth. Most of them are new swords, but if the family has a Famous Sword, it can be passed down as a family heirloom.

When they grow up and die in battle, from illness, or from old age, their relatives will put the knife in their coffins and carry it to the Eternal Graveyard in 'Snow Country' to be buried together.

This has led to numerous tomb raiders attempting to find and steal the Famous Sword from these coffins every year.

However, under the watchful eyes of Shimotsuki Ushimaru and his Samurai, these tomb raiders were often killed on the spot, thus gaining a free tomb.

Just today.

This vast Eternal Graveyard dead was deserted and looked like a true ghost town, with no one guarding it.

"Ushimaru, we can't delay any longer! Kaido is coming! We must leave this place!" In Ushimaru Castle, Shimotsuki Kouka looked anxiously at Shimotsuki Ushimaru.

The Fugetsu Omusubi nearby, including Shuiyue Tenpura, Hyogoro of the Flower, Yokozuna Urashima, and a group of retainers Samurai, all focused their attention on the latter.

They already knew that their base had been Kaido, and they were currently filled with grief and Wrath.

"Yasuie, have you noticed that all the news these past few days has been about Kaido, while there's been absolutely no word about that Byndi Wald!"

Upon hearing Shimotsuki Ushimaru's calm words, Shimotsuki Kouka paused for a moment, then thought to himself, "It seems that's really the case."

Shimotsuki Ushimaru Ball sat cross-legged on the stage and continued speaking.

"Is it possible that this Byndi Wald was simply hired by Kaido expense to deal with Kozuki Oden, and now that Kozuki Oden has died in battle, his mission is over, so he didn't participate in the subsequent operations?"

"So?"

"Most of the Beasts Pirates died in Kuri, so Kaido will probably come alone this time, maybe with King at most. Isn't this the best opportunity?"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru's gaze swept over the powerful figures from Wano Country present, and he asked them a question.

The daimyo of Reigo, who looks almost exactly like 'Zoro', admits that the strength Byndi Wald displayed that day was completely invincible to them.

But Kaido is different. Although he is still very strong, he is not yet in a state of despair.

"We still have nearly ten thousand Samurai here, and with the six of us joining forces, why don't we just kill Kaido right outside Ushimaru Castle and let that Evil Dragon's blood be spilled on this Snow Country land!"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru's words instantly ignited the fighting spirit and hatred of all the Samurai.

"Ten thousand against two people, indeed, there couldn't be a better opportunity than this, provided that Byndi Wald doesn't show up."

Hyogoro of the Flower, with his hair as blue as flames, stroked his chin and sighed.

"If he appears, I am willing to go to the Underworld with you all, rather than live a life of cowardice!" Shimotsuki Ushimaru slowly stood up, a stern expression on his face.

"Good!"

"I am also willing to fulfill my duty as Samurai for Wano Country!"

"To die without regret, without hesitation, without remorse, to die for the nation, to die for the Kozuki —my wish has been fulfilled!"

Just as the high-ranking Samurai inside the hall were passionately expressing their patriotism, loyalty, and Samurai, etc.

But they didn't notice a blue dragon claw emerging from the thick, dark clouds above the city.

Just because they didn't notice doesn't mean that Shimotsuki Ushimaru didn't notice either.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked up at the ceiling, his sharp gaze seemingly able to pierce through all obstacles.

Kaido here!

Those four simple words instantly silenced everyone.

"Let's go, let's go meet him!"

Without a word, Shimotsuki Ushimaru slung his twin swords over his waist Earth Flow out.

After exchanging glances, Shimotsuki Kouka and the others nodded emphatically and resolutely followed.

At this moment, not only Ushimaru Castle, but also the men, women, and children of Snow Town the city felt fear and unease because of the huge Azure Dragon circling in the dark clouds.

Their only source of support was the nearly ten thousand Samurai and the Four Daimyo gathered here!

"He really was the only one!"

After Shimotsuki Ushimaru and the others left the attic, they used their Observation Haki to survey their surroundings.

The discovery that there was indeed no trace of Byndi Wald relieved everyone considerably.

"That really surprised me."

The Azure Dragon in the dark clouds observed them with interest, and then teased them:

"You didn't tuck your tails between your legs and run into the deep mountains and forests. Should I praise your courage or call you foolish and slow-witted?"

"Kaido!"

"Stop pretending! If it weren't for that Byndi Wald you brought along, you'd be dead by Kozuki Oden's sword by now!"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru pointed his knife at Azure Dragon without any politeness and shouted coldly, then, with contempt in his eyes, mocked:

"I thought Kurozumi Orochi was just a scoundrel who was using someone else's power to bully others, but I didn't expect you, Kaido, to be just another ordinary person. Quickly, call him out!"

Upon hearing these words, Kaido's pupils dilated, and an endless rage, like magma, erupted within him.

He never expected that he would be equated with that Kurozumi Orochi.

"You're asking for it!!"

The key issue is that he couldn't come up with any rebuttal.

Although Byndi Wald was not summoned by him personally, he brought people from the World Government.

Then Byndi Wald was brought by people from the World Government.

Looking at it this way, it seems I am indeed acting somewhat like a fox borrowing the tiger's power.

Extreme anger and embarrassment manifested as a blazing Huoguang from his mouth, and with intense killing intent in his eyes, Kaido spewed a pillar of fire down at Ushimaru Castle below.

He wanted to kill all those bastards who had humiliated him.

"Bolo Breath!!"

"Attack together!!"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru fearlessly charged towards the raging flames, brandishing his twin swords.

Behind him, many Samurai, including Shimotsuki Kouka, also leaped up.

This scene brought an extremely shocking moment to countless people in the Snow Town the castle, and it became a major legend in the future Wano Country.

The Six Heroes of the Snow Country, born and then vanished in Reigo Land, like Setsuna.
