"There are rumors that they flew in from the sky, and that Ashura Doji was subdued. Even... even Lord Oden was defeated!!"
Boom--
When Sukiyaki heard the news, he was struck as if by lightning, and his mind went instantly blank.
Although he had already severed his "father-son relationship" with Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Oden was incredibly powerful when it came to swordsmanship.
He was renowned throughout the various regions of the Land of Wano.
Yet he never expected Oden to actually lose!?
A flash of shock crossed Sukiyaki's eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Just who are those outsiders?!"
"Their leader calls himself Ares, claiming to be a descendant of the Tsukino Family. And there are tens of thousands of people accompanying him, not to mention..."
"Not to mention, Ares claims that he wants to open the borders of the Land of Wano. The various regions are currently in an uproar, and many people who support opening the borders have already joined him... They're building a town in Kuri!!!"
Upon hearing this, Sukiyaki's body trembled violently. He looked dazed for a moment before his expression twisted, and he roared furiously, "The Land of Wano... The Land of Wano absolutely cannot open its borders!!"
"No matter who it is..."
"No one can do it!!"
He knew that once the Land of Wano opened its borders, countless enemies would be drawn there. And that "Ancient Weapon" buried deep beneath the Land of Wano...
would surely unleash a bloody storm!
It would plunge the Land of Wano into misery and chaos!!
As the shogun of the Land of Wano, Sukiyaki absolutely could not agree. He immediately ordered, "Go. Contact the daimyos from every region and have them come to the Land of Flowers. We'll discuss how to drive these outsiders out!"
"Yes!"
