What Calculated Intentions

At the same time, he instinctively shielded Komurasaki behind him.

Daikoku's men were terrified, retreating more than ten meters before stopping. It seemed that only by keeping a certain distance from Moke could they feel safe.

One of them spoke up, demanding, "Who... who are you?!"

Moke glanced at these guys. "Go back and tell your so-called Admiral that my name is Moke."

"Roll..."

After saying that, Moke immediately shouted again.

Ghost Aura surged from his body, making him, who was already imposing, look like Ashura who had crawled out of hell.

The chilling ghostly Ghost Aura emanating from him, along with his fierce and tyrannical presence, relentlessly bombarded the minds of everyone present.

However, Moke handled it very well.

This didn't affect O-Tama at all; she was still holding Moke's hand with an innocent expression, curiously looking around at everything.

As soon as he finished speaking, his imposing manner vanished. He once again transformed into the very "kind" Moke.

"Call..."

Daikoku's men all breathed a sigh of relief. Just moments ago, they had all thought they were doomed, but they had unexpectedly escaped death.

At this moment, they dared not stay there for even half a second longer.

Several people lifted Daikoku with all their might and headed towards the Shogun's Residence, fleeing at breakneck speed, wishing they had two more legs.

Moke's gaze then slowly swept across the street, and everyone whose eyes met his sent a chill down their spines. For, in that instant of eye contact with Moke, they felt as if they had already experienced a life-or-death ordeal.

"Hiss..."

They all gasped in shock and then turned and ran.

The once bustling street immediately fell silent. Only then did Moke turn to look at Kyoshiro and Komurasaki, finally taking a closer look at Komurasaki, the most beautiful woman in Wano Country.

Komurasaki has beautiful long emerald-green hair styled like that of a noble princess. She has delicate features, graceful manners, and wears a pink flower headdress and an embroidered kimono.

It must be said that Komurasaki truly deserves to be called the most beautiful woman in Wano Country. Her appearance is impeccable... and she has an innate noble air that she can't hide even when disguised as a geisha.

Moke led O-Tama to the main seat with Kyoshiro and Komurasaki: "Sit down, don't be shy!"

Kyoshiro: "..."

Komurasaki: "..."

Both of them were baffled by Moke's actions. It's perfectly normal to give up the host's seat when distinguished guests arrive, but no one had ever taken the initiative like this.

After sitting down, tell them not to be shy.

Kyoshiro and Komurasaki exchanged a glance. Having managed to stay here for so many years without being discovered, they were naturally quick-witted and immediately realized what was going on.

The guy in front of them was rude, but he didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them.

So he sat down as Moke suggested.

Komurasaki then asked, "May I ask who you are looking for?"

Moke laughed upon hearing this, "I came here naturally to find you, the most beautiful woman in Wano Country."

"Looking for me?"

Komurasaki looked surprised, but Yu Ma thought it made perfect sense. She was the most beautiful woman in Wano Country, so it was perfectly normal for her to come looking for her.

However, she could sense that the man in front of her was somewhat different from the men she had met before.

Although his eyes held a hint of lust, the man before her exuded an air of certainty, as if she were already his.

Moke picked up O-Tama and sat her down beside him. "I'm here to make a deal with you."

"Trade?"

Komurasaki looked puzzled, because she was certain that she had never seen this person before.

Since that's the case!

Where did this deal come from?

"Regarding the transaction..."

As he spoke, Moke ruffled O-Tama's hair and added, "I promised this little guy that I would make sure everyone in this kingdom is well-fed. And there's only one way to do that: kill the current Admiral, Kurozumi Orochi, and drive the Beast Pirates out of here. We might even force Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, to retreat..."

"This is a difficult task... but it's not impossible for me."

Kozuki Hiyori and Kyoshiro's expressions changed drastically, because the amount of information in Moke's words was truly overwhelming.

First, this guy in front of me has the strength to kill Kurozumi Orochi and repel Kaido.

Secondly, this guy must have already known their identities. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been any deal between them.

Third, this guy can return the kingdom to the Kozuki Family, but there must be some conditions. And it will be a very harsh one.

After all, this is the ownership of a kingdom.

This made them both very happy and very worried.

In moments of joy, perhaps there truly is hope for restoring their kingdom. The worry is that their identities have been revealed. And if so, then this guy isn't what he claims to be.

Then they're in danger.

Moke saw their concerns, so he didn't pressure them to make a decision immediately. Instead, he looked at Kyoshiro and said, "With your skills and status, I think you can still manage to understand me."

He then immediately added, "You all! If you want to restore Wano Country, you can't just focus on this small Wano Country. The situation outside is also very important... because sometimes, the situation outside can affect the entire Wano Country."

After saying that, Moke led O-Tama to her feet. "I've been in this town for the past few days. Once you figure out who I am, come find me... and we'll continue our conversation then."

Moke took O-Tama's hand and walked out.

At the Shogun's Residence, Kurozumi Orochi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Wano Country is a closed country, blocking all news from both inside and outside. However, as the Admiral of Wano Country, he naturally cannot be like others.

He was quite knowledgeable about people Wano Country.

"Gurgle..."

Kurozumi Orochi swallowed hard, a hint of fear in his eyes. "Why is this guy here?"

This guy is incredibly audacious; he not only killed Akainu, one of the Three Admirals of the Navy, during the Marineford War.

They also took the opportunity to breach Impel Down, recruiting a group of powerful individuals to become members of their pirate crew.

Most importantly, he even occupied Gild Tesoro's Gold City. Just a few days ago, he fought Kaido... Kaido couldn't defeat him.

The title of Fifth Emperor is truly well-deserved.

In terms of crew strength, although Moke doesn't have many men, the number of strong members under his command is almost comparable to that of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Moke, who seized Gild Tesoro's Gold City, possesses more Beli than the other Four Emperors combined.

Intelligence revealed that Doflamingo's underground forces were all in his hands.

"How about we find a different partner?" Kurozumi Orochi clearly favored Moke.

For him, it doesn't matter who he collaborates with.
