The scene fell into a deathly silence.
Large swirling swathes of sand were being swept away by the wind.
Amidst the shattered ruins, lay a figure resembling a tattered Hotei.
The pupils of the rapidly gathering samurai contracted sharply.
What they were seeing completely overturned their understanding.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe that what you were seeing was real.
Even Denjiro and Kozuki Hiyori were shocked.
They had considered the possibility that Bai Yu could defeat Kurozumi Orochi.
I never expected things to turn out so simply.
Orochi, the shogun of Wano Country, couldn't even withstand a single blow.
Is this the difference in strength?
"As expected, they're too weak to even qualify as filler!"
Bai Yu frowned, looking at the unlock value on the system panel, which remained unchanged, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
It seems they overestimated the value of Orochi; it's not even worth 0.2% of the unlock value.
Kaido will not be able to get back for another twelve hours.
The goal is to increase the unlock value to 75% within this period.
I'm afraid we'll have to come up with a solution from scratch again.
A jumble of thoughts flashed through Bai Yu's mind, and the next moment he raised an eyebrow and looked at Kozuki Hiyori.
Denjiro's expression changed instantly, and he quickly drew the sword from his waist, his face filled with seriousness.
What just happened happened too fast.
Even Denjiro couldn't come to his senses in time.
Now that he had come to his senses, Denjiro instantly realized that the person in front of him was definitely not someone they could contend with.
If Bai Yu truly harbors any ill intentions, then they will likely face certain death.
"Uncle Denjiro, you may leave now. Leave the rest to me."
Kozuki Hiyori and slowly walked out with a somewhat complicated expression.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he knelt down, placed his hands on the ground, and sincerely performed a kneeling bow.
" Bai Yu, Lord Bai Yu, for avenging my father, Kozuki Oden."
" Hiyori once swore a solemn oath that she would serve whoever could avenge her father."
" The Orochi that plotted to seize Wano Country has been slain by Bai Yu, thus fulfilling Hiyori's vow."
" Hiyori swears here that she will serve Lord Bai Yu for the rest of her life."
"As long as Lord Bai Yu agrees to Hiyori's request to defeat Kaido and allow Wano Country to open its borders, Hiyori is willing to give up everything."
"Would you be willing to become Hiyori's husband and the shogun of Wano Country?"
The crisp sound carried a resolute tone.
Everyone gathered in the room erupted in an uproar.
" Oiran Komurasaki, what are you talking about? What Kozuki Hiyori? Didn't someone with that name die twenty years ago?"
"No, this must be an excuse that Oiran Komurasaki made up to save everyone. How could she be a remnant of the Kozuki Family, who died twenty years ago?"
" Hotei is right. Oiran Komurasaki only gave herself to this thug because of us. We must kill him."
" Oiran Komurasaki is the goddess in the hearts of everyone in Wano Country. She must not be defiled! Let's attack together and kill her!"
"..."
Hundreds, even thousands, of people were completely in an uproar.
The death of the Orochi was indeed a shock to them.
However, compared to beauty, the so-called fear was clearly overshadowed.
More importantly, in their eyes.
Bai Yu was alone, while they were constantly gathering warriors from the Flower Capital.
At this rate, it will only take another three or four minutes.
The number of people here is definitely in the tens of thousands.
Tens of thousands of warriors faced an enemy of unknown origin.
Isn't everything going to be a piece of cake?
"Excuse me, can I refuse?"
Bai Yu spoke with a smile.
The samurai who had gathered here, who had been so excited, were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Even Kozuki Hiyori's confident expression stiffened.
She has always been known as the most beautiful courtesan in Wano Country, and has been called the number one beauty, among many other titles.
There were also countless admirers who fawned over her.
That's a damn charm that even Queen and Orochi couldn't escape.
This had long since instilled in Kozuki Hiyori a deep-seated confidence within her.
She believed that no one was completely immune to her charm.
Now, however, he was publicly rejected.
This decisive reply made Kozuki Hiyori's cheeks burn, and she felt completely embarrassed.
However, when he thought about the issue of opening the country to Wano Country, and the blood feud he had carried for twenty years, he hesitated.
Bai Yu truly appeared out of nowhere and slew the Orochi.
Perhaps next, they will fight Kaido of the Beasts.
However, Kozuki Hiyori believes that no one would do something for no reason, Bai Yu has no obligation to fulfill Kozuki Oden.
To truly accomplish all of this, one must pay a considerable price.
This is a truth that Kozuki Hiyori has come to understand over the past twenty years within the Wano Country.
To gain something, you must give something in return.
He wanted Bai Yu, whom he had just met, to help him found a new country.
The only convincing bargaining chip that Kozuki Hiyori could think of was herself.
Denjiro, who was standing to the side, clearly caught Kozuki Hiyori's thoughts. A hint of reluctance flashed across his face, and he quickly stepped forward and said.
" Hiyori Highness, you don't really need to do this. Perhaps there are other ways..."
"No, this is all I have left, the only bargaining chip I can offer." Kozuki Hiyori smiled sadly and shook her head.
"Uncle Denjiro, we have waited for twenty years and carried the burden of hatred for twenty years. This is our closest chance to open the country. If we don't seize this opportunity now, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life."
" Bai Yu, I don't know why you refused me, but this is a body that even Orochi and Queen, and indeed the entire Wano Country, desire. I hope you will be satisfied."
A resolute glint flashed across Yamato's sorrowful face.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he reached down and pressed the collar button of his kimono on his chest.
This scene instantly caused everyone's pupils to contract sharply, and their blood to feel like it was about to burst.
They knew very well that once this button was opened...
This top courtesan of Wano Country will be completely naked, revealing her perfect body to them.
Such an arrogant attitude is indeed too reckless.
However, if it would be possible to give them a feast for the eyes.
Ninety-nine percent of the males present would absolutely be willing to pay the price and die.
Click!
The sound of buttons being fastened rang out.
The breathing gradually intensified, and many people seemed to be staring so hard their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
In an instant, the entire ruined square was filled with male hormones in every corner.
At this moment, the death of Orochi, the shogun of Wano Country, is mentioned.
They were clearly forgotten.
