Winning People Over with Force
"Um?"
Moke's gaze then fell on Kyoshiro, and finally glanced at the knife in Mad Wolf's hand. His eyes became even sharper.
Denjiro was an orphan from the Flower Capital who always admired Kozuki Oden. He later became Oden and the Nine Red Scabbards.
After Oden's death, he changed his appearance in grief and hid his identity as "Kyoshiro". He later became the head of the "Kyoshiro Family" and was invited by Shogun Orochi Kurozumi become his bodyguard and personal money changer. He was known as "Sleepy Kyoshiro".
At night, he transforms into a righteous thief known as "Ushimatsu Kozo," who robs the rich to help the poor, operating at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM). Before the campaign against Onigashima, he reveals his true identity...
To be honest, he admired Denjiro's character, and even more so his loyalty to the Kozuki Family.
However, that doesn't mean this guy can draw his knife on him.
He unleashed a slash from his Enma, aiming directly at the Kyoshiro.
"Not good..."
Denjiro's expression changed drastically, even though he was very confident in his current strength. After all, he had mastered the Ryuo of the Kozuki Family over the years.
But... this guy in front of me is a Yonko -Emperor Level powerhouse on Kaido.
If he had a choice, he would never want to be enemies with the person in front of him. But now, there was no turning back.
He quickly stepped forward to parry with his katana.
He attempted to block Moke's attack.
Unfortunately, he overestimated himself and underestimated Moke. The moment their swords clashed, Denjiro felt a terrifying power emanating from the Enma in his opponent's hand.
Denjiro's expression changed again, and then, under this terrifying force, his legs left the ground. He was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the wall of the room.
"Rumble..."
He was smashed right into the wall, leaving a large hole.
However, Moke wasn't going to let this guy off so easily. He swung Enma in his hand once more.
It was only then that Komurasaki fully realized that she had never had the power or authority to choose. The so-called choice was merely given to her by Moke.
Moke doesn't give it to her, then she is nothing.
Moke looked at Komurasaki, his eyes gleaming. He had originally thought that with Komurasaki's help, he could bring the entire Kozuki Family under his command.
Looking back now, how naive we were.
Even if he gets his wish, these guys won't be loyal to him. They'll still be loyal to the Kozuki Family. Since that's the case, he might as well use some tricks.
A slight smile played on his lips; thankfully, he was prepared.
Since the soft approach isn't working, let's try the hard approach.
"Shave..."
Moke vanished right in front of Komurasaki, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Denjiro.
Denjiro's pupils suddenly contracted.
He quickly stood up, his katana imbued with Armament Haki, and swiftly slashed out.
At this moment, Moke had already stored Enma in his waistband. Then he raised his leg and kicked Denjiro in the abdomen. Although he attacked later, he was the one who struck first.
He kicked the opponent in the abdomen first.
"Bang..."
Under the immense force, Denjiro once again sent flying. However, this time, Denjiro fully bore the brunt of Moke's terrifying power.
"Pfft..."
A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, turning into a Bloody Mist Era in the air. It finally landed a hundred meters away on the street, instantly causing an uproar.
Denjiro's current identity is that of a member of the Shogun's Palace, a fact known to many. They couldn't believe that anyone in Wano Country would dare to lay a hand on someone from the Shogun's Palace.
"Shave..."
Moke disappeared from the spot once again, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Denjiro.
Then he raised his foot and stepped directly on the other person's chest.
They suppressed Denjiro, rendering him unable to move.
He then looked to one side and said, "Come out!"
"Tsk tsk!"
Monet, Sugar, Perona, Rebecca, Baby-5, Ms. Miss Goldenweek, Brook, a group of seven, came out with O-Tama.
Why did we bring them out?
The reason is simple: none of these seven people have any particularly outstanding achievements. Therefore, in the eyes of others, they are marginal figures in the pirate crew.
Not many people pay attention to them.
Enel, Shiryu, Weevil, Gizas Jesus Burgess, Jinbe, Ape King Burns, Katrin Démi, Avalo Pizarro, Basque Vasco Shot, Ulti, Page One, Ata and the others.
Everyone was being closely watched; the disappearance of even one person would raise suspicion.
They're different; even if they disappear, they won't attract attention for a while. Most importantly, it's just a small Wano Country.
With Yamato leading the charge and him bringing up the rear, these people are already fully capable of controlling the entire Wano Country.
After everything is over, have Yamato Jinbe and join Yamato in overseeing things here. Then Wano Country will be impregnable...
Brook then took out an Artificial Devil Fruit from a large package and handed it to Moke.
Moke took it and immediately put it into Denjiro's mouth.
The next second, Denjiro's body changed. A thick layer of fur grew all over his body. Soon he transformed into a leopard!
He seemed to have entered Hybrid Form.
However, he possessed an even more savage quality than in his Hybrid Form. He truly seemed like a wild beast...
Tsk tsk!
Moke chuckled, knowing that Artificial Devil Fruit were permanent. Therefore, from then on, Denjiro would forever remain in this Hybrid Form.
However, he did indeed make a significant improvement.
Because Moke used 20% more force to suppress him.
"O-Tama ..."
O-Tama stood to the side, looking completely bewildered, because at this moment, she was still "completely unaware" of her own abilities!
Monet, Sugar, Perona, Rebecca, Baby-5, Ms. Miss Goldenweek, and Brook also looked confused. In fact, they had always had doubts in their hearts.
They didn't understand that this trip to Wano Country would inevitably involve battle, and O-Tama had absolutely no fighting ability.
Normally, it shouldn't have been brought here.
But the captain specifically instructed that she must be brought here. So, I've always been curious about why.
Moke: "O-Tama, make a dumpling... and feed it to him."
"Huh? Oh..."
O-Tama was initially surprised, but then immediately used her ability. She pinched her face with her small hand, and the next second, to everyone's astonishment, she pinched off a piece.
The piece that was pinched off turned into a ball.
Paramecia - Devil Fruit?
But this ability doesn't seem to have any offensive capabilities!
Could it be that this dumpling will cause the enemy to die from overeating?
