This Name Is Real Eye-Catching

Nobody expected Kurozumi Orochi to be captured by Luo Ji with such a dramatic ending.

The Oniwabanshu and Mawarimawari-gumi outside were still launching frantic attacks against Yamato and Fire Fist Ace, swearing to avenge their shogun to the death.

They also never expected that Lord Shogun would be taken out just like that.

This made it a bit hard for them to accept the reality.

Meanwhile, Fukurokuju, the head of the Oniwabanshu, was already considering whether to surrender to Kozuki Sukiyaki or wait for Beast Kaido to return and surrender to him.

"Damn it! Luo Ji said to capture Kurozumi Orochi alive, how could you beat him to death?!"

Fire Fist Ace complained to Yamato while dealing with the frenzied Mawarimawari-gumi samurai.

This woman actually smashed Kurozumi Orochi's head to pieces with a single strike of her kanabo, looking as dead as dead could be.

"I didn't expect a guy who could cooperate with Kaido and become Kozuki Oden's opponent to be such a weakling!"

Yamato was also somewhat speechless; she had only used a regular version of Thunder Bagua, which both Luo Ji and the Tobi Roppo could take.

As a result, this shogun of Wano Country was taken out in a single move.

That was a bit absurd!

Yamato had thought that someone capable of becoming the shogun of Wano Country would not necessarily be as strong as Kaido and Oden, but at least they should have been at the level of the Tobi Roppo and the Nine Red Scabbards.

"What do we do now?! If Luo Ji finds out that Orochi is dead, will he refuse to tell me about Sabo?"

Fire Fist Ace was extremely distressed. He had thought this mission would be terribly difficult, only for the target to vanish just like that.

"Don't worry! Luo Ji is a good guy. At worst, you can just prepare a few more Flame Emperor Little Suns for him, and he will definitely tell you."

Yamato offered some dry words of comfort. Seeing more and more ninjas and samurai charging in, she let out a roar and unleashed her Conqueror's Haki at full power for the first time.

In an instant, a massive number of ninjas and samurai collapsed.

"So strong!"

Even Fire Fist Ace looked at Yamato in a bit of shock.

He had not expected his own strength to fall so far short of Yamato's!

He seemed to have awakened this kind of power when he was a child, but it had fizzled out afterward.

Because he trained alone in Foosha Village with no one to guide him, Fire Fist Ace still had not mastered his own Conqueror's Haki to this day.

Once he was moved by Whitebeard in the future and became Whitebeard's son, he would lose his ambition to become the Pirate King.

His single-minded goal would become assisting Whitebeard in becoming the Pirate King.

By then, mastering and growing his Conqueror's Haki would become even harder.

"Such powerful kingly aura!"

Ashura Doji, who had just stormed into the Flower Capital, and Hyo of the Flower and the others were all startled by this aura.

Meanwhile, Denjiro and Kozuki Hiyori, who had been biding their time, felt as though they caught sight of hope.

They chose to stop hiding, and Kozuki Hiyori prepared to quickly cast aside her Oiran identity as Komurasaki and reclaim her original status.

"I'll go check if Kurozumi Orochi is dead. If he is, we'll restore our identities together and spread the word that Kyoshiro and Komurasaki died in the chaos of war."

After discussing it with Kozuki Hiyori, Denjiro quickly went off to gather information.

Upon learning that Kurozumi Orochi had indeed died at the hands of that white-haired woman, Denjiro decisively returned to execute the plan with Kozuki Hiyori.

They were going to reunite with Kozuki Sukiyaki, Ashura Doji, and Karamatsu to rebuild the glory of the Kozuki Family together.

As Yamato displayed her might and completely crushed the morale of the Oniwabanshu and Mawarimawari-gumi, the Restoration Rebel Army quickly occupied the Flower Capital and restored Kozuki Sukiyaki to the position of shogun.

The reinforcements from the Beasts Pirates learned that Kurozumi Orochi had been defeated and hurriedly relayed the news to the Great Expedition Fleet.

If they did not return now, forget the Flower Capital; even Onigashima probably couldn't be saved!

This extremely urgent news forced a Headliner of the expedition fleet to use a broadcast Den Den Mushi to report to the Governor-General who was currently engaged in a massive battle, even at the risk of being killed by Beast Kaido.

"Lord Kaido, a major rebellion has broken out in Wano Country, and the rebel army of the Kozuki Family has already invaded the Flower Capital.

Kurozumi Orochi attempted multiple rescues and may have met his end by now.

The Sea-Prism Stone Mine has also been invaded by the rookie Fire Fist Ace and a guy calling himself Gol D. Luo Ji!

Young Master Yamato seems to have run off with that Gol D. Luo Ji!"

The communicating Headliner shouted at the top of his lungs. This news stunned the upper echelons of the Beasts Pirates, and even the executives of the Red Hair Pirates paused to watch the spectacle.

"Yohahaha! Queen, it looks like your stronghold is in deep trouble. Your subordinates are stupid enough to broadcast this kind of shameful mess out loud. It's hilarious!"

Chaser Yasopp and Queen the Plague were locked in fierce combat, and he almost laughed himself to death over these announcements.

The Beasts Pirates had made a grand display of coming to trouble the Red Hair Pirates, only to find their base gone.

"That idiot!!"

Queen the Plague was also fuming with rage. How could there be such a fool, broadcasting his own scandal to the world?

Couldn't he have quietly notified the Tobi Roppo or the All-Stars so they could stop the battle between Kaido and Red-Haired Shanks?

Now look at this!

Their Beasts Pirates had completely become a joke!

King the Conflagration and Jack the Drought both changed expression, distancing themselves from their respective opponents, Beckman and Lucky Roux.

Beast Kaido, who was in the middle of the battle, was driven so furious by the news that his eyes turned bloodshot!

"The Kozuki Family? Is that Oden-uncle's family? Fire Fist Ace? Gol D. Luo Ji?"

Red-Haired Shanks's gaze turned solemn. It seemed an incredible event had happened over in Wano Country.

Should he go join in the fun?

No, he ought to stall Kaido a bit longer for their sake.

Red-Haired Shanks, who had been fighting Beast Kaido for several days, still retained enough stamina to battle Kaido for a few more days despite some fatigue.

"Red Hair! Count yourselves lucky this time! Next time, I'll definitely slaughter you!"

Beast Kaido never expected that the new Emperor, Red-Haired Shanks, could use Conqueror's Coating with such terrifying power—even surpassing his own.

This left him unable to break through after a protracted fight, failing to defeat this bastard Red-Haired Shanks.

"Hmph! Now that you want to leave, I'm not letting you go!

You need to pay the price for the lives on those three islands!"

Red-Haired Shanks's gaze turned fierce; he could not forgive the Beasts Pirates' atrocities of slaughtering those islands.

He had to exact vengeance for those innocent civilians!

"You're looking to die! I'll grant your wish!"

Beast Kaido was driven to smoke from his nostrils by Red Hair's arrogance. In that case, he would give Red Hair a brutal beating first, then return to clean up the chaotic mess in Wano Country.

Once they returned, those rebels and malcontents wouldn't be able to make any waves anyway!

The Sea-Prism Stone Mine in Udon and those weapons factories were cash cows that the Beasts Pirates had to control; they could not afford to lose them.

Because of the Red Hair Pirates' stalling, the Great Expedition Fleet of the Beasts Pirates was completely unable to quickly return to Wano Country to quell the rebellion.

Thus, the Beasts forces in Onigashima and Kurozumi Orochi in the Flower Capital could only pray to the heavens and hold out until Beast Kaido returned.

However, the names Fire Fist Ace and Gol D. Luo Ji were also captured by Marine spies.

While the supernova Fire Fist Ace was already quite famous, the surname Gol D. undoubtedly made the higher-ups of the Marines even more sensitive.

Could this be a family member of the Pirate King Roger?

Perhaps this was yet another rookie capable of turning the seas upside down.

To cause a huge commotion in the base of the Emperor Kaido the moment he appeared—his nerve was truly massive!
