Shogun's Residence, an Azure Dragon roared, sending the tens of thousands of people and horses sprawling, filled with cries of fear.
Inside the Shogun's Residence, Luo Wen remained as steady as Mount Tai, showing not a moment's panic.
Nojiko, Hina, and Ain sat idly beside him, while Chiyo poured tea and massaged his shoulders, Kozuki Hiyori, wearing a collar, knelt on the ground.
"Listen, how noisy it is!"
Luo Wen sat on a large chair in the center of the hall, his face contorted with sarcasm.
There were no chairs here originally, just a tatami mat. Luo Wen thought those things were unlucky, so he threw them all away and replaced them with chairs. What kind of thing is this, sitting in such a cramped space?
He didn't even bother with the rabble outside; he was terrified of Kaido, who had transformed into his mount.
This team, they still want to pressure him?
"It's truly pathetic. Even the leader was frightened. What talk of the Kozuki Family's legitimacy? Tch!"
Hina, using her Observation Haki, was quite disdainful of Momonosuke's behavior.
"Luo Wen, our people have arrived! This is the will of the entire Wano Country; they do not want you to be the ruler of Wano Country."
Even if you threaten them with Kaido, this will not change in the slightest!
"Return Wano Country to the Kozuki Family, and let me be your wife. Everything will be fine."
Wearing a necklace Kozuki Hiyori was radiant, and even kneeling on the ground, she couldn't hide her joy.
Listen! People outside are all chanting the name of the Kozuki Family. The hearts of the Kozuki Family still belong to them!
With so many people opposing Luo Wen, shouldn't he give in?
By making Kozuki Waki the Shogun of Wano Country, history was rewritten.
Remove the collar from her neck and make her the most prestigious wife.
"Your hands are a little dirty, lick them."
Luo Wen beckoned with his finger, his voice cold and brooking no argument.
"Aren't you afraid?!"
Kozuki Hiyori's smile vanished as she stared at Luo Wen in disbelief.
How could this be? Luo Wen showed absolutely no restraint!
That was a force of ten thousand men. Although she couldn't see it from inside the mansion, she knew about Kin'emon and the others' plan.
She knew this was a massive procession; people from all over Wano Country who believed in Kozuki Oden would appear—not just tens of thousands, but countless others who would cheer for the Kozuki Family if the story of Kozuki Oden's deeds were clearly explained.
"Did I not explain clearly? My fingers are dirty."
Luo Wen frowned, and lowered his voice further.
"Yes."
Kozuki Hiyori and Hikari were unconsciously afraid.
These past two days of training have shown her how terrifying Luo Wen is. The slightest anger he wields is enough to unleash a torrent of fury.
She knelt on the ground and crawled step by step to Luo Wen's feet. She gently took Luo Wen's finger into her mouth, her tongue circling around it, licking it skillfully.
Compared to that place, fingers are nothing.
"Good boy, that's a good pet."
Luo Wen felt the nimble tongue and was very satisfied.
After his personal instruction, Kozuki Hiyori has already reached a very high level.
Half a minute later, Luo Wen withdrew his finger from Kozuki Hiyori's mouth, pulling out a glistening thread.
After wiping the drool off Kozuki Hiyori's clothes, Luo Wen got up and walked out of the mansion.
There are already enough people, and they're shouting loud enough; it's time to clean them up.
"How terrifying, is he really going to kill all those people?"
Kozuki Hiyori remained kneeling, watching in fear as Luo Wen left.
The joy she had felt upon hearing the march vanished, and she remembered what Luo Wen had said earlier.
[Since the Kozuki Family are the masters of Wano Country, then after killing them, Wano Country will be mine.]
When Mingming said this, Luo Wen's tone was casual, so she thought it was just a casual remark.
But now that I think about it, I realize that the place was filled with murderous intent, and that it had already given the Kozuki Family a death sentence.
Shogun's Residence.
Most of the 10,000-person parade was terrified by the Azure Dragon.
"That's terrifying! That Azure Dragon was absolutely terrifying!"
Some people were so terrified by the dragon's roar that they screamed in terror.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"A dragon is blocking our way, and inside is the god who punished us two days ago. We can't win!"
Some of the more timid ones, who were not so devoted to Kozuki Oden, were already trying to leave the procession.
But it's impossible.
Their retreat was completely blocked by four thousand warriors.
When asked to make way, the samurai simply said there were too many people and they couldn't move.
So, whether they liked it or not, everyone stayed.
This is where Kin'emon's brilliance comes into play.
He had those who worshipped Kozuki Oden walk in front, with four thousand samurai following behind.
Even in the event of an emergency, if the public can step up, their strength can be minimized.
When these people regretted their actions and tried to retreat, they were blocked by samurai and unable to leave.
"Keep shouting! That dragon is just a showpiece; it won't dare touch us!"
Kin'emon stood next to Momonosuke, shouting through a megaphone.
The first to move were the four thousand samurai, who shouted once again.
"Return Wano Country to the Kozuki Family; this is Kozuki Family territory!"
"Former lord Kozuki Oden endured years of humiliation to save the common people; he is a hero of Wano Country!"
"Oden's son, Kozuki Momonosuke, and will become the greatest shogun of Wano Country!"
The samurai shouted themselves hoarse, repeatedly emphasizing their righteousness.
Inspired by these samurai, the previously terrified crowd began to scream.
They didn't know what they were shouting; they just echoed the warriors to alleviate their fear.
They were still shouting, just as loudly as when they arrived.
But only they themselves know how guilty and fearful they are.
"Young Master, stand up and continue shouting at Luo Wen!"
Kin'emon supported the trembling Momonosuke and said encouragingly.
"Look, so many people are shouting along with you."
"They are all your subjects, they are all your strength!"
Raizo and Kikunojo were also cheering them on.
Seeing Momonosuke, their feelings could only be described as utter disappointment.
It was Momonosuke insisted on taking back Wano Country from Luo Wen, demanding no delay whatsoever. Even their idea of waiting for the right opportunity was rejected by Momonosuke.
But once the actual operation began, they became easy targets.
The plan has already begun and there's no stopping it.
They could only try to Momonosuke and prevent him from losing too much face.
With so many people around, he wouldn't dare touch me.
With so many people around, he wouldn't dare touch me!
Momonosuke Kin'emon the others, Momonosuke kept hypnotizing himself.
After repeating it countless times, Momonosuke finally mustered the courage to stand up again.
"Luo Wen, if you're a man, come out and give me back Wano Country!"
Momonosuke eyes closed, shouted towards the entrance of the Shogun's Residence without regard for anything else.
After he shouted that, he felt extremely happy, as if he had really become the leader of this mass march.
He regained his confidence and opened his eyes to look at the gate of the Shogun's Residence.
However, a tall and upright figure slowly walked out.
"So it's you who want me to hand over Wano Country?"
Luo Wen Wenqin looked at the crowd of ten thousand people in front of the gate and revealed a captivating smile.
His calm voice, amplified by magic, resonated throughout the entire venue, just as it had when he was above the Flower Capital.
As the sound entered my ears, fear arose from the depths of my heart and spread uncontrollably throughout my body.
The previously agitated parade fell silent once more, this time even more terrifying than the roar of the Azure Dragon.
Momonosuke, who had just regained his confidence, turned pale and collapsed onto the high platform, a faint warm flow sliding down his trouser leg.
