Three Twenty-One Great Grade Blades!

"It's truly a terrible sight."

Kin'emon and the other Kozuki Family looked at the ruins Great Fire Incineration with extremely heavy emotions. The pain on their faces and the hatred in their eyes were too obvious.

That day, they had to temporarily evacuate because of the floodwaters gushing from the ground, and then they prayed that Kawamatsu would find Kozuki Oden's body, and that they would find out that he was not actually dead, but just unconscious.

Pity.

The result was cruel; Kawamatsu did not find Kozuki Oden.

Afterwards, they hid for a while, waiting until Kaido and the others had completely left before daring to stand in front of the ruins of Oden Castle.

"We just received a message from the Flower Capital!"

At that moment, Denjiro, with a ponytail and sunglasses, walked over, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and looked at everyone with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Six people, including Ringo Shimotsuki Ushimaru, Shimotsuki Kouka, Fugetsu Omusubi, Amatsuki Tempura Hyogoro of the Flower Yokozuna, and Yokozuna Urashima, died in the battle against Kaido. Ushimaru Castle also fell into the same trap as Oden Castle and was completely destroyed by fire."

"."

A deathly silence fell Kin'emon and the others stood there, mouths agape, speechless, filled with utter despair. Their only hope had been extinguished; what would they do next?

"Everyone, get out of here!"

Suddenly, a lovely, sweet voice rang out, and everyone's eyes instinctively turned to look. They saw a slender Shinobu in pink, running quickly from the direction of Bolo Town in a ninja-like sprint.

"The Oniwabanshu are coming after us!"

Sure enough, Kin'emon and the others saw dozens of dark figures flashing behind her, the two at the front being Wind Shadow and Wind Blade of the Oniwabanshu.

"These Orochi's lackeys"

Ashura Doji was so Wrath that he seemed about to draw his sword to charge, but Kikunojo stopped him with a raised hand. "There are at least five thousand ninjas. Who knows if there are more behind them? Let's get away from them first!"

"What hope do we have now after we get away from them?"

"Some!"

Kikunojo features were more delicate than a woman's, said with a determined expression, "I can contact my brother. He'll definitely come back as soon as he hears that Oden is in trouble!"

"Izo?"

Just as these Kozuki Family were being hunted down by Oniwabanshu ninjas in Kuri Village, the Flower Capital finally witnessed the arrival of the Azure Dragon, which everyone had been 'waiting' for.

At this moment, everyone knew Kurozumi Clan Kozuki, all the daimyo families, whether Shimotsuki or Shimotsuki, had vanished.

This left the people with no will to resist; they simply stared blankly as the azure Azure Dragon soared through the air and then roared at them with its mouth wide open.

"The Kurozumi Family has been wiped out by me. From this day forward, I, Kaido, shall be the Shogun of Wano Country. All you lowly commoners, kneel before me!!"

[Buzz------]

Kaido's voice was exceptionally loud and carried an extremely strong sense of oppression and intimidation. Immediately, some cowards knelt on the ground in fear, their foreheads pressed tightly against the earth.

With these people leading the way, men, women, and children of the Flower Capital knelt down like wheat blown down by the wind, and even the innocent children were forcibly pulled down by their parents.

"Eh?"

Kaido, looking down from the sky at the scene of the entire city kneeling, sighed deeply. In fact, his original plan was to wait for Yamato to Yamato up, then eliminate Kurozumi Orochi, and then have his daughter become the shogun of Wano Country.

"They should be making their move soon, right?"

[Boom boom boom boom----]

The moment Kaido's thoughts crossed his mind, a series of deafening roars echoed through the sky, causing the kneeling crowd below to look up in astonishment, only to see in horror that bursts of Huoguang exploded on the Azure Dragon's body.

Most shockingly, Kaido let out a piercing scream of pain!

At the same time.

Five giant warships with blue seagull emblems on their white sails slowly flew in from the distant sky, their cannons constantly flashing with Huoguang, proving that they were attacking Kaido.

The explosions continued unabated, some of them hitting the Azure Dragon's massive body, Vice Admiral it to retreat amidst the surging flames and Shockwave.

It was like five sharks tearing at a whale, leaving everyone dumbfounded, until Kaido cursed a few times and flew away from the Flower Capital.

In fact, if there were any sharp-eyed and powerful individuals present, they would have seen that Kaido was simply putting on an act.

The problem is, the more skilled Samurai are all queuing outside the gates of the Underworld, so what can the remaining ordinary people understand?

After the initial shock, they would simply transfer their fear of Kaido to the five mysterious warships, and then stare dumbly as they slowly descended.

Late at night, in the treehouse within the Moon Chamber in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

"Lord Imu, the first phase in Wano Country has been completed, but some unexpected events occurred."

Upon hearing Mihawk's report, Imu, who was lying on the sofa, raised an eyebrow.

"What accident?"

"Kurozumi Semimaru was killed by Kaido, Toki committed suicide by biting her tongue, and Kozuki Momonosuke, Kozuki Hiyori, Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and Raizo were sent to a point in the future."

Imu was speechless. How could this have gone wrong? They were all important targets he had chosen.

Kurozumi Semimaru, his Barrier-Barrier Fruit practically the strongest defensive ability Sea Star can have. I was thinking of grabbing him and throwing him to Vegapunk to see if I could copy a few more later, but now, that's it!

Toki, from eight hundred years ago when her 'predecessor' roamed the seas, Devil Fruit User, capable of briefly sending people to the future and then pulling them back, or sending people to the future permanently.

The permanent option is, frankly, rather useless, but the temporary option is much more useful; it can be used to exchange intelligence with the future World Government.

Kozuki Momonosuke's Awakening ability to command Zunesha is quite interesting. Imu remembers that in his previous life, some people even speculated that this kid was Uranus.

Kozuki Hiyori, needless to say, is one of the Three Great Beauties of the Sea Star. She'd be quite a sight to behold as a maid or servant.

That pair of cats and dogs is actually not very useful. In terms of strength, even if they activated their Sulong form 24 years later, they could only Teuchi Jack Drought.

But the key is their Vivre Card!

This Vivre Card can guide you to Zou. Imu had originally planned to find Zou and then subdue it. It's a gigantic creature tens of thousands of meters tall; it could be used to build a biological warship or something.

In addition, the Mink Tribe are also an excellent source of soldiers, as they can generate electricity from their bodies and possess various animal characteristics.

Finally, there's Raizo of the Mist. If he could teach his Substitution Technique, Clone Technique, Binding Technique, Earth Release, and Lightning Release to other ninjas, then Sea Star might be able to become a 'Naruto' much earlier!

Upon closer reflection, the accident Mihawk mentioned caused the World Government a devastating loss, and Imu's mood immediately soured.

"Imu, I will now act as the acting shogun of Wano Country, as you command, to build the Ninja Village, the Sword Sect, develop the Seastone, and manage the sword-forging craftsmen."

"We also obtained Kozuki Oden's Ame no Habakiri and Enma, as well as Shusui from Shimotsuki Ryuma's tomb, and will send them over in a few days."

Imu became interested upon hearing the familiar names of the swords. These were real swords, not models, and he thought it would be nice to keep them as collectibles.

He hung up the call, stared at the swirling wine glass in his hand, and began to think about what to do next.

"Once the Supreme Administrative Meeting convenes, the matters concerning the Star Gate and the other world will be considered public knowledge within the government. The Kabane World will also be basically conquered. All that's left is to proceed with development step by step. Shouldn't I open the second Star Gate?"

Imu is no longer as wary of the Star Gate as before, because he now knows that the world on the other side is most likely the various anime worlds from his previous life, which makes it less mysterious.

Of course, we cannot let our guard down even so, after all, there are world civilizations that are far more powerful than Sea Star.

"I wonder what kind of world the second Star Gate will be."
