Weapon Collector

Kaido of the Beast Pirates frowned, his expression turning extremely grim.

He had already received a report from his subordinates.

He muttered to himself, "How did this guy end up in Wano Country?"

Jin: "From what we can see now, it seems like they're targeting Komurasaki. Because he hasn't had any contact with Kurozumi Orochi."

Kaido seemed to remember something. "If I remember correctly, Komurasaki is the most beautiful woman in Wano Country!"

Jhin nodded. "Queen is really obsessed with her."

Kaido's face stiffened, a hint of disbelief in his expression. "Is that so?"

Then he muttered to himself, "It seems that Komurasaki really does have some charm."

Kaido's face immediately darkened, his eyes practically spitting fire. "Has this guy already forgotten about what happened with my Yamato?"

"Asshole..."

At that moment, Yamato walked in, looking displeased.

Kaido's already ugly face became even uglier, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Sometimes, he really wanted to dig out Kozuki Oden and beat him to death a few more times.

He still doesn't understand why his only daughter has come to idolize Kozuki Oden.

Kozuki Oden was indeed strong, but was he even using a normal brain?

Why did he use a scheme to deal with Wano Country in the first place?

It's quite simple. Wano Country back then was no pushover. Kozuki Oden himself was strong enough to fight him, and his Nine Red Scabbards were also quite powerful.

Holding off his men shouldn't be a problem.

Given his personality, he would have confronted them head-on long ago. To strip naked and run around like that... is utterly foolish.

While Kaido was criticizing Kozuki Oden, Moke was walking down the street, looking at the people around him, speechless for a moment.

Bustling!

That was truly bustling.

But this prosperity is merely superficial, because the people outside the city live in utter misery. The more prosperous it is here, the more miserable it is outside.

If Kozuki Oden had been even slightly sensible, Wano Country wouldn't be in its current state.

If it were him, things would never have turned out this way. Just think about Kozuki Oden's strength, the strength of his subordinates, and his numerous retainers.

With that kind of strength, he could even go toe-to-toe with Kaido.

In his view, Kozuki Oden was utterly foolish.

In the original story, Kozuki Oden set sail... first establishing his own pirate crew, then joining the Whitebeard Pirates, and finally following Roger.

After Roger disbanded his pirate crew and returned to Wano Country, Oden learned about what had happened Wano Country from his retainers.

Oden was furious and rushed from Kuri to the Flower Capital to kill Orochi, but he was stopped by the Orochi Kurozumi Semimaru, who used the Barrier-Barrier Fruit's power.

Anlai said that he failed this time because of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit user. So he should find a way to distract him or find another way to deal with him.

Once we deal with this Barrier- Devil Fruit User, killing Orochi would be a piece of cake for him.

But what happened was that he made a pact with Orochi and Kaido: he would perform a naked dance once a week in front of Orochi Castle...

The reason is that Kaido and Orochi have taken many people hostage. They said that if Oden abandons his dignity and performs a naked dance under Orochi Castle every week, they will release 100 people.

Holy crap...

Even an idiot could see what those two were up to!

It's about damaging Kozuki Oden's reputation in Wano Country.

The most outrageous thing is that Kozuki Oden actually believed those two people... What was he thinking?

Taking hostages, huh!

Who can't do that?

With his strength, aside from the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, wouldn't everyone else be a piece of cake?

Furthermore, he could have asked Roger and Whitebeard for help, but he remained silent. I don't know what he was thinking...

Even if we take a step back, we can first send our children and wife to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Then become a lone wolf, specifically targeting the Beast Pirates, killing them one by one... Once Kaido leaves Onigashima, with his strength, he could easily take over the entire Onigashima.

In any case, apart from Kaido, no one in the entire Beast Pirates is his match.

Or they could directly instigate a war between Kaido and the other three Emperors, and then Kaido would join the fray. Let's see Kaido would be scared then...

By then, do you think Kaido compromise or not?

Anyway, whatever he did was better than stripping... but he chose the most foolish choice. It seemed noble, but it was a manifestation of incompetence.

Can someone like that, if appointed as Admiral, truly govern the entire Wano Country effectively?

Hehe...

"???"

Just then, his Observation Haki detected someone silently approaching him. The hand even reached for the knife at his waist...

He turned his head to look.

Then came a gigantic figure, wielding a massive crescent-shaped blade, with various Meito and other weapons piled on his back.

Stand behind him.

Moke was visibly surprised, because this guy was so distinctive. Moke recognized him immediately. "Isn't this the Weapon Collector from the original story who stole Zoro's Shusui?"

"Well..."

Shusui seems to be right at his waist.

All right!

They've set their sights on Shusui again.

The Weapon Collector, by this time, realized he had been discovered.

But he declared with an air of righteous indignation, "The Meito Shusui should be returned; it is a treasure of Wano Country!"

As he spoke, his hand didn't stop, continuing to reach for the knife at Moke's waist.

Good heavens!

Unable to steal, they resorted to robbing!

Who gave you the guts?

Besides, the treasure of Wano Country?

If you call it, will it respond?

Moke slapped away the Weapon Collector's outstretched hand.

However, the weapon collector persisted, continuing to yell, "If you know what's good for you, return Shusui right now, or I'll take your other two swords too!"

"Interesting..."

Moke smiled.

Then he said, "Come on... let me see how you're going to take the knife from my hand!"

"Snort..."

The Weapon Collector swung his greatsword directly at Moke. It has to be said, this guy's got some skills.

They were incredibly fast, arriving in front of Moke in the blink of an eye.

Moke simply raised his hand and easily blocked the attack.

"How is that possible?"

The Weapon Collector couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. If he hadn't possessed considerable strength, he would have been captured long ago, having been able to commit so many atrocities in Wano Country for so many years.

However, there was another reason he wasn't arrested. That is, he was very astute; when he couldn't win a fight, he never resorted to brute force...

After his initial shock, he decisively retreated.

That speed was incredible...

This really stumped Moke. His lips twitched slightly. "This is quite a character... But I'm curious, what's the point of stealing these weapons?"

So Moke picked up O-Tama and led her after them.
