Chapter 130 The Beginning of Conflict
Mrs. Toki seemed not to hear Momonosuke's cry and continued to quietly brush the dust off Momonosuke.

Finally, he picked him up and stood beside Oden: "We will all be with you until the end."

Oden sighed, "According to the information sir brought, the navy has already blockaded the waters around Wano Country, and no one can survive an attack that can completely wipe out Wano Country in one blow."

"All I can do is to disembowel the Revolutionary Army's instructors. Now, even if I have the ability to make a ship float, it may be too late."

After he finished speaking, Momonosuke, who was still feeling indignant in Mrs. Toki's arms, was stunned.

What did he just hear?
What is the reason that Wano Country will be completely wiped out in one blow? What is the reason that it is too late?
How could this be?
Lord Kang said that Wano Country can rely on the World Government to drive out the Revolutionary Army. At that time, he will still be the only heir to the general, right?

But why did father say that Wano Country would be wiped out?

"Are you lying to me?!"

Under the threat of death, Momonosuke suddenly turned around and looked at Oden.

But at this moment, Oden didn't even want to look at him, but said to Madam Toki: "For many years, the Daimyo of the Kang family only knew about the outer sea through newspapers delivered by seagulls, but they did not understand the nature of the World Government, nor did they know the natural position of Wano Country."

"Because of their loyalty to the Kozuki clan, and perhaps some selfish motives, they are unwilling to give up the power in their hands. I should have thought of this earlier."

Madam Toki bowed slightly and said, "This is not the General's fault. Isn't the General not in Wano Country? The people who can change the world in the future will definitely be the General and his people."

Oden pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, trying to say the same words with a smile, but he couldn't smile no matter what.

Because such a future has nothing to do with Wano Country.

The mission that the Kozuki clan had been guarding for the past eight hundred years was thus destroyed.

"Momonosuke gave them the name, I knew that but I didn't intervene. The blame lies with me, but he can't escape it either, so..."

Mrs. Shi closed her eyes and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

After a while, he squatted down, put Momonosuke on the ground, and smiled gently.

"Whether you are called Backlit Moon or not, you are a man. As a man, if you make a mistake, you must take responsibility for it. Only in this way can you live with your heart."

Momonosuke was terrified, waving his hands wildly and collapsing to the ground: "No. I don't want it! Mother, Mother, save me!"

Hiyori, who was standing by, remained silent with her hands clenched after beating Momonosuke.

The floor was wet.

From the conversation between her parents just now, after attending school for a few months, she was able to understand the meaning.

"I go."

Hiyori raised her head and looked at Oden with red eyes: "Father, a man of the Kozuki family should not be like him! So I will go and apologize to the instructors of the Revolutionary Army. It is what Kozuki should do."

The firm voice made both Oden and his wife a little dazed.

Oden even remembered what his teacher had said jokingly before. Perhaps at that time, his teacher saw that Hiyori was stronger than Momonosuke.

"it is good."

As he spoke, Oden reached out and rubbed little Hiyori's hair: "Don't worry, your father is here to accompany you!"

He Song, who had been in a daze until this moment, now understood something: "General, I..."

Oden exhaled, "Let's go together. The Daimyo of the Kang family is a man with a plan, and what he planned has now been settled."

Kawamatsu's heart tightened, and then he said calmly: "I... will also be with Wano Country."

At this moment, a black light flashed past behind Oden.

"Shh."

"Hey? What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Kevin, who was wearing a mask, looked at the few people. When he saw Momonosuke lying on the ground, he was almost scared by the swollen pig head.

However, his clothes allowed Kevin to recognize that he was Momonosuke.

"It seems you know it too?"

Oden turned around and knelt down with his forehead touching the ground: "I have failed to live up to your trust and caused thousands of revolutionary soldiers in Wano Country to be in danger of death. I can only... die to atone for my sin!"

At this time, Xiao Hiwa ran over and grabbed Kevin's sleeve: "Mr. Spark, please leave! Wano Country is in danger now!"

Kevin reached out and ruffled Xiao Rihe's hair: "Don't worry. The problem you are worried about has been solved by me three hours ago. When you know that someone has a problem, if you don't have any defense, they will come out to do bad things at the critical moment."

……

Three hours ago.

"Samurai from the Hakuma Daimyo's mansion were dispatched to the shelters and the residences of the Flower World Government agents. There were six groups of samurai and three groups of ninja in total, and they have all been cleared out so far."

Kevin's shadow clone is with the CP0s, while his real body is currently in the shelter paying attention to the developments of all parties.

In fact, when the investigation incident in Wano Country was confirmed, Kevin guessed that Shimotsuki Yasuie would take action.

After all, this would be an opportunity for them, an opportunity to completely get rid of the revolutionary army and safeguard their own class interests.

Before this, Kevin had thought about killing these guys once and for all.

But the situation in Wano Country is very different from the past few months.

For several months, schools and lectures have been held continuously in Wano Country, and the samurai and nobles of high-ranking officials have begun to conflict with a small number of awakened people.

The other nearly 80% of ordinary people also feel that it has nothing to do with them.

After the Beasts Pirates left, they have returned to the old days and their lives can go on. They feel that it doesn't matter who is right or wrong.

In this situation, it would not be so easy to kill Shimotsuki Yasuie, the Daimyo of Hakumai who had been kind to the people as a noble in the past.

Killing Shimotsuki Yasuie is easy, but after that, 80% of the people in Wano Country will become alienated from the revolutionary army, and some of them may even join the confrontation.

So continue killing?
It's not difficult to kill, and the next diamond chest will only be around a year away.

But if all these people were killed, those who had already awakened their thoughts, even including the revolutionary army's own troops, would begin to doubt their own persistence under such a level of massacre.

Because they are of the same class, and because the ideology and will they have always believed in do not allow them to massacre the people in this way.

So Kevin chose to wait, waiting for these people to come out on their own and let Oden, as the general of Wano Country, make the decision himself.

"Then it's my turn to go now."

Kevin stood up and disappeared from the spot in an instant, appearing not far from Bai Wu's Daming Mansion.

The revolutionary army that surrounded Damingfu bowed slightly, and one of their captains came over.

"gentlemen."

Kevin nodded and said, "The navy has surrounded Wano Country. If our presence is exposed, Wano Country will face a devastating attack from the World Government."

"And for the sake of their own noble interests, they made a foolish choice. The liberation of the minds of the people of Wano must continue."

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the revolutionary army around him were filled with determination.

They want to liberate the people of Wano Country, and it is inevitable that these vested interest nobles will stop them, but they are not afraid.

The idea of ​​empathy even made them think of those disgusting nobles in their own country in the past.

"We can help, sir."

Kevin shook his head slightly: "No need. Wano Country is still in a transitional stage, and General Oden will stand on the side of the people."

After saying that, Kevin walked forward, came to the door of Daming Mansion, and knocked on the door.

In an instant, Kevin's observation Haki was able to sense that the atmosphere inside the door became tense at this moment.

The door was opened, and Kevin, who was wearing a mask, was recognized at the first moment. The servant who opened the door even wanted to close it.

However, Kevin had already appeared behind him and walked towards the only room with the light on.

The warriors and retainers gradually gathered around. No one asked questions, and no one tried to get away with it.

Coming here at this time means that the other party knows about their actions, and even the people they sent out before are probably in danger. "Let him in!"

The door of the lighted room was pushed open, and Shimotsuki Kangjia looked at Kevin without any hesitation.

Then, a gap appeared in the encirclement of the samurai and ninjas, and Kevin walked straight through and entered the reception room.

At this time, there was not only Shimotsuki Yasuie in the reception room, but also Kotsuki Sukiyaki wearing a Crow Tengu mask.

"So this is also your backup plan?"

Kevin looked at the cowardly general and said, "A man who abandons his people in the face of danger just to survive has only one surname to fool the people, so it still has some value."

Kozuki Sukiyaki's breathing quickened, but he didn't say anything.

Instead, it was Shimotsuki Yasuie who spoke up: "At that time, Sukiyaki-sama would not be able to defeat Kaido no matter what. In this case, in order to save his life, leaving it for later is the right choice."

This made Sukiyaki nod, indicating that it was indeed the case.

Kevin didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he said directly: "From now on until the World Government's investigation is completed, you cannot leave this Daimyofu."

Shimotsuki Yasuie was not surprised by this, and he didn't even ask those people who had been sent out to inform on the matter.

When this gentleman from the revolutionary army appeared here, it meant that the revolutionary army had been watching him.

In this situation, no one can get out.

"Not killing me?"

Shimotsuki Yasuie asked another question.

Kevin looked at him and said, "The current general of Wano Country is Kozuki Oden. He is the one who will decide whether you should die. The Revolutionary Army wants to liberate the entire Wano Country, not a bloody hell."

"You deserve to die, but it shouldn't be done by the revolutionary army."

Oden?

Shimotsuki Yasuie frowned, and Sukiyaki beside him clenched his hands.

"You want Oden to execute us?"

"How could he agree? Even though that bastard is unreliable, he is also a member of the Kozuki clan."

Kevin looked at the two of them and said, "In fact, if I hadn't made arrangements in advance, the entire Wano Country might have disappeared by now."

Kevin looked at Sukiyaki and said, "You should know what is buried underground in Wano Country, right? The ancient weapon Pluto. I heard that it is a huge battleship that can destroy an island with one blow. Why such a weapon appeared in Wano Country, but you don't know the reason."

"After Oden went to sea, he learned many truths about this world, including the future mission of Wano Country, and its natural opposition to the World Government."

Kevin then looked at Shimotsuki Yasuie: "In this case, the country of Wano, which had been closed and isolated before, was not valued because of its natural barriers. In addition, there is the stonemasonry technology for processing seastone."

"These reasons have caused the World Government to turn a blind eye to the special Wano Country. But now the specialness of Wano Country has been added to us, the guy who killed three Celestial Dragons."

"What do you think...what will they do?"

Some secrets of Wano Country and the World Government are hidden in this conversation, and as the daimyo of Baiwu, he also understood them at this moment.

"Master Sukiyaki, the World Government... also has ancient weapons?"

Sukiyaki took off the Crow Tengu mask on his face and said, "I don't know. All I know is that there is something hidden under Wano Country. What it represents and why Wano Country has been closed to the outside world are not clear."

At this point, Sukiyaki hesitated and said, "But... the Kozuki clan and the entire Wano Country did inherit a certain mission, but too much time has passed, and many things have been forgotten by the Kozuki clan and Wano Country."

"I have no idea what Oden learned in the outer sea, but..."

"That huge stone tablet that records history was indeed made by the stonemasons of Wano Country."

Kevin at the side chuckled softly: "The main historical text records the blank 100 years of history 800 years ago. Three years ago, scholars from O'Hara in the West Sea studied it, and finally the entire O'Hara was destroyed by the Demon Killing Order."

"Also, studying the blank for a hundred years is a serious crime under the laws of the World Government. This is known to everyone in the outer seas. Perhaps the retainer of the Yasu family, Shimotsuki Hikoichirō, is aware of it."

Having said that, Kevin stood up and prepared to leave.

After pushing open the door, Kevin said without turning his head: "When the people's minds begin to awaken, all the old systems and feudal rule will be crushed into dust under the rolling wheels. Take care of yourself."

[Note: Even one chapter cannot be suppressed... Guys. In this chapter, the protagonist gave Oden three decisions, which is a reminder in itself. In the next chapter, one of the two people here will die and the other will be imprisoned, and Momonosuke will also be stripped of the name of Kozuki. In addition, the surname Kozuki will also be tainted by Oden. ]

……

Huadu, General’s Mansion.

"This is the basic situation. The Baiwu case has been dealt with. The Shimotsuki Yasushi family also has daimyo from two other regions, as well as a group of samurai. In the end, it will be up to you to decide their punishment."

Kevin said, looking at Oden: "It's all up to you. The Revolutionary Army will not interfere."

After Kevin finished telling Momonosuke what happened three hours ago, he breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that he didn't have to die. He fell to the ground and fainted.

But everyone ignored him.

Even Kawamatsu felt, to some extent, that this child didn't look like Lord Oden at all.

But His Highness Hiyori, at such a young age, is not afraid of the threat of death.

After listening to Kevin's story, even Oden, whose heart had been clenched tightly, breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally he wanted to ask the revolutionary army for their opinions, but now it seems that the master really doesn't care, and he himself is in a dilemma.

The Daimyo of the Kang family had helped him many times more than ten years ago. Even the original lawless area was transformed into the Jiuli area, and most of the money was supported by the Daimyo of the Kang family.

What's more, among them is his own father, the father who has been living in hiding after doing something wrong.

My thoughts are in a mess and time is passing by every second.

With her emotions fluctuating, Kohiwa, who could no longer bear it, was taken away by Mrs. Toki to rest, and Momonosuke was also taken away.

But before leaving, Oden took a look at his son and seemed to have made some decision.

Finally, Kevin and Oden were the only ones in the reception room.

"It seems that there have been some fundamental changes in the gentleman's attitude towards handling problems."

Kevin replied: "Wano Country is the only country in the Revolutionary Army's enlightenment thought plan that has not experienced too much suffering."

"Wano Country is not a member of the World Government, so the people don't have the pressure of Heavenly Gold. In addition, the country is rich in resources, so after satisfying the interests of the nobles to a certain extent, ordinary people can also survive."

"During the years when Kaido and Orochi ruled, many people died, but because of you, weapons factories and mines did not increase everywhere during those years."

Kevin took a sip of tea and said, "Under such circumstances, it is difficult for adults to be educated in the enlightenment of Wano Country's thoughts. Therefore, I handed Shimotsuki Yasuie and others over to you for disposal, naturally in order to exclude the revolutionary army and avoid causing greater conflicts."

Only when faced with hardship and unable to survive will people, who have already become numb, begin to try new ideas.

This is the result of several months of ideological enlightenment activities in Wano Country, which has brought changes to Kevin's cognition.

For eight hundred years, the World Government has been like a giant weighing down the entire world. Ordinary people who can survive will not go crazy enough to join the Revolutionary Army and rebel against the World Government.

At present, all the potential developments of the revolutionary army have been directed towards the new generation, and there are still many war-torn and desperate countries.

After Kevin finished speaking, Oden kept drinking tea, and the room became quiet for a while.

After a long time, Oden said, "I really don't know how to deal with this. My father is also involved, and the secrets of Wano Country 800 years ago are not suitable to be told to everyone."

"The Daimyo of the Kang family has been kind to me in the past, and even those samurai made this choice out of loyalty to the Kozuki clan."

Kevin chuckled softly: "But it's not just because of loyalty to Kozuki. The abolition of the hereditary system means that their descendants will no longer have noble titles."

"With such huge benefits, they will naturally rise up in resistance. Wano Country will need time. You can do whatever you choose to do to them. However, once the World Government confirms its relationship with the Revolutionary Army, you know the result."

result?
The result is naturally that Wano Country was wiped out.

The will that Kozuki has maintained for eight hundred years will also collapse.
