Pirate Journalist

Chapter 190 Bad News (Two in One)

and country.

Nine miles, Date Port.

Several huge ships are docked at the pier.

"The road is relatively smooth. We have reached Kuri in Wano Country." Shanks looked up at the dimmed sky, showing a slight smile: "I remember that Kuri is the base camp of Oden. It seems that we are very lucky."

"I don't know if you're lucky or not, but you call this a smooth journey?" Ben Beckman was speechless, then pointed to the bow of the ship, where there was a scorching mark blackened by lightning, and then pointed to the cabin. Full of hurricane scratches.

"It's been very smooth haha!" Shanks patted the straw hat on his head and laughed.

"The weather here is too strange. Even though we are in the same sea area, we can encounter various weathers in different seasons. It is completely like a miniature version of the great sea route!"

Murphy touched the snowflakes on the railing and sighed.

After climbing to the top of the waterfall, most people thought that the hardest part had already been crossed.

I didn't expect to experience a maelstrom and all kinds of weird weather. After the thunderstorm, there was a blizzard, followed by a hurricane.

Even in the Great Looking Road, never encountered such frequent and weird weather.

But now, he was standing on the bow of the boat, facing the direction of Jiuli, and what he was blowing head-on was a spring-like warm wind.

Huh?
Murphy faintly felt that the warm wind was not due to the weather.

He looked over the nine-mile capital city, looked into the distance, and suddenly noticed something strange.

Murphy frowned, and asked suddenly: "Shanks, you said this is the base camp of Oden, right?"

"Correct!"

Murphy didn't reply, but just raised his chin. Everyone looked in the direction he indicated, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, while Shanks' face changed directly from a breeze to a biting chill.

Looking across the nine-mile capital city, a towering attic stands on the top of a distant mountain.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this attic should be the residence of the person with the highest status here.

However, now the attic began to emit black smoke, and as the sky darkened, a scene of flames bursting into the sky appeared in the evening.

problem occurs.

This is everyone's first reaction.

And the second reaction is that the accident is likely to be the 'Oden' that Shanks said.

"Looking at it this way, it does seem that there is something wrong. The voices from this city are too noisy. Let's go and find out." Murphy jumped off the boat and said.

The crowd nodded.

Afterwards, Moriah, Shanks, Beckman, and Hawkeye also got off the boat and rushed towards the capital.

The others stayed on the ship, waiting for the notice while being alert.

A group of five people gradually came to Jiuli Capital City and looked around.

They found that every family came out of the house.

The eyes of these people were all focused on the burning attic on the top of the mountain, and their faces were full of remorse and helplessness, and their expressions were very sluggish, and some of them had tears in their eyes.

In addition, sporadic discussions were heard from the crowd from time to time.

"The Kozuki family, Oden-sama! We failed to trust them from the beginning to the end, and we will be punished by God!"

"I can't wait for the dawn any longer, the endless night is coming!"

"With the rule of the black carbon snake, there is no hope at all, and no one will save us."

These voices are full of regret and fear, and it seems that there is nothing but despair for the future.

Shanks walked out from a group of people, came to an older old man, and asked, "Grandma, what happened here, can you tell us?"

"You don't know yet!?" The old woman's complexion was not good, and her voice was low: "Not long ago, the news came from the capital of flowers, that Mr. Mita's juggling dances in the past few years are actually protecting us!! It's a pity that we failed his expectations! We didn't believe in Oden-sama from the beginning to the end!"

"Wait, what dance? What do you believe?" Shanks didn't understand.

Murphy and the others also stopped and walked to Shanks' side.

After hearing the juggling dance, Moria seemed to recall something, and a strange flash of light flashed in his eyes.

"You don't know anything?" The old lady looked at the five people in front of her with doubts, and said, "You...are not from Wano Country?"

"Correct."

"We rarely have outsiders coming here, but Wano Country is undergoing drastic changes, you came at a really bad time!" the old woman kept nagging.

Shanks saw that the old lady still didn't get to the point, hesitated for a moment, and said straight to the point: "Old lady, in fact, I am a friend of Lord Oda as you said, and I came to Wano country to visit him, what happened in Wano country? , You make a long story short."

After hearing this, the old lady looked Shanks up and down, and then turned around a few people.

"I don't know if what you said is true, but I feel that you are not ordinary people, so let me tell you."

The old lady explained the matter with a look of pity: "Because Oda-sama has been overseas, after the death of the previous general Kozuki Sukiyaki, Wano Country was ruled by the acting general Kurotan Orochi.

However, the rule of the Black Carbon Orochi is extremely bloody, and at the same time it continues to exploit the people of Wano Country.

Because of this, everyone has been looking forward to the return of Oda-sama to inherit the position of general and drive Orochi out of power.

Finally, five years ago, Oden-sama returned to his country.

However, something happened next that surprised everyone.

Not only did Oden-sama fail to inherit the position of general, but he danced like a clown on the street every week, disappointing everyone.

This jump is five years, and we have gone from disappointment to anger to numbness.

And just a few days ago, Oda-sama suddenly started a war with Heitan Orochi and Kaido for some unknown reason. "

Shanks, who had an ugly face, screamed out when he heard this: "Wait, what are you talking about! Kaido!?"

"Of course it's Kaido, I fought against Kaido here four years ago." Moria looked a little weird: "In retrospect, I heard that there was a general heir who was juggling on the street. Dance, so it's Mita!"

Shanks stared: "You know? Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"I didn't see you asking either!"

Murphy stopped the two of them: "Stop arguing, and continue to listen to this old woman."

He is not very clear about the affairs of Wano Country, after all, there are still many answers to mysteries that he does not know.

The old lady waited for the voices of the two to subside, and continued: "Afterwards, Lord Yutian was defeated. Not only Lord Yutian was defeated, but he and his nine retainers, the red scabbards, were all arrested and sentenced to boil."

"Execution!? When?" Shanks interrupted again with an anxious expression on his face.

"I now believe that you are friends of Lord Oda overseas." The old woman observed Shanks' face and said regretfully, "The time is today, and the obituary of Lord Oda has spread throughout Wano Country."

"What!" Shanks stood still for a moment, his face darkened.

He didn't expect that after five years of separation, when he heard the news of Mi Tian again, Mi Tian had already passed away.

"It's also today, we know what Oda-sama has been carrying these years."

The old woman paused, as if she was brewing words, and seemed to be tasting the remorse in her heart: "Heitan Orochi is actually an avenger, and his purpose is to destroy this country. With the participation of Kaido, an outsider, everyone treats him as nothing Method.

In order to protect us, Oda-sama would rather give up everything, whether it is the position of general, fame, or honor. He even signed an agreement with Orochi to dance on the street every week like a juggler. One dance can save 100 people. life.

However, in the face of such a gentle and righteous Oda-sama, we have always misunderstood him... We didn't know the truth until today, but unfortunately it is useless. Even if we want to support Oden-sama, we have no chance! "

The more the old woman spoke, the more excited she became, and tears began to glisten in her eyes.

Shanks didn't come back to his senses for a while, and remained silent.

On the contrary, Murphy had no expression on his face. He glanced at Shanks, then pointed to the burning attic, and asked, "So what's going on?"

The old woman wiped her eyes with her hand and said, "That's the residence of Oden-sama. Presumably the Orochi is liquidating Oden-sama's family? It's a pity...we can't do anything."

As soon as he said this, Shanks narrowed his eyes and came back to his senses.

He gave Murphy a grateful glance, knowing that Murphy was reminding him that Mi Tian's death had become a fact, and the focus should be on what was happening.

And he is also a resolute person, buried his sadness in his heart, and his face recovered instantly: "Let's go directly."

Being immersed in sadness is useless, if you rush over now, maybe you can save a few more people.

Murphy and his party were about to leave when a figure staggered out of the burning forest.

Facing the monstrous flames, everyone gradually saw the figure clearly.

"Master Ah Shi!?"

Among the crowd, many people exclaimed.

Everyone knows that Kozuki Toki is Oden's wife.

However, at this moment, this lord was covered in blood, and even had two arrows sticking out of his back.

When Shanks saw Kozuki's appearance, his face that had just regained his composure changed again.

He naturally knew Kozuki Toki, not only did he know him well, after all Kozuki and Mita spent a lot of time on Roger's ship together.

However, at this moment Kozuki looked very miserable, obviously suffering a lot of damage.

I saw her looking around, sweeping across the people in Jiuli.

With a fearless smile on his face, he seemed ready to say something.

boom!boom!
Several gunshots sounded.

There are not only ordinary people in the crowd, but also Orochi and Kaido's subordinates.

Seeing Guangyue Shi's appearance at this moment, he shot directly without any hesitation.

Boom!Boom!
Then, the sound of falling to the ground sounded one after another.

Everyone covered their mouths in horror, but found that there was nothing wrong with Guangyueshi, and the people who had just shot were all lying on the ground, bleeding profusely.

When she looked at Guangyue again, there were two figures beside her that she had never seen before.

Murphy sent the bullet back casually, and Shanks came to Kozuki's side and stabilized her staggering body.

When Shanks touched it suddenly, Kozuki was startled and was about to shake it off.

However, when she looked up and found that this figure was extremely familiar, she was stunned.

"Shanks!?" Kozuki's eyes were full of surprise: "Why are you here?"

It was five years ago when Oden and Kozuki got off the boat. At that time, Shanks was still a 14-year-old boy, and his height was completely different from now.

It's just that the red hair and the straw hat are still recognized by Kozuki at a glance.

Shanks was a little sad, and said: "I was planning to come and see Brother Yutian, but I didn't expect...to be late."

"It's okay, it's just that I can't entertain you and your friends this time!" Kozuki smiled slightly, patted Shanks' arm, and his face gradually became anxious: "But leave quickly! This country is very dangerous now !"

However, Shanks didn't move, his eyes were fixed on Kozuki's back.

There, two arrow tails protruded from the back.

The arrow wound was nothing to a pirate like him.

But at this moment, it was inserted on the back of a weak woman. What's even more shocking is that one of them was inserted obliquely at the back of the heart.

"This injury?" Shanks asked unconsciously with an ugly face.

This position is very dangerous, it is likely to have spread to the heart.

Logically speaking, in such a situation, you must not move around, and you need to wait for someone to treat you before you can be rescued.

Shanks, however, stumbled out of the flames while looking at Kozuki.

This road, I am afraid it is not so peaceful.

Kozuki pursed his lips, and said sadly: "I can feel that life is passing by, I'm afraid I can't last long, Shanks, you go! I also want to hurry up, and I have something to say to the present the people said."

In her tone, there was a trace of regret, a trace of fearlessness, and a trace of joy, but there was no fear of death.

Murphy saw that Shanks fell silent, and said: "Give up, this kind of injury can't be cured, what should be done now is to let her do what she should do and complete her mission."

Murphy's words caught Kozuki's attention, she turned her head slightly, and glanced at this guy who should be Shanks' friend.

However, just looking at this, Guangyue was stunned.

Her eyes narrowed a few times, her mouth was slightly opened, and one hand unconsciously covered her mouth.

In this way, it was as if he had seen something unbelievable.

This overreaction made Shanks look strange, and Murphy was also baffled.

"What's wrong?" Murphy touched his face unconsciously.

Could it be... so handsome?
Kozuki didn't answer, but fell into a long silence.

She just said that she should seize the time to talk to the people, but she just ignored it.

She stared fixedly at Murphy, a trace of blood was hanging on her eyelashes, making the brilliance in her eyes faintly visible.

Then, under the surprised eyes of Murphy, Shanks and many people.

She faced Murphy, bent down, lowered her head, and prostrated herself on the ground.

"Please save Wano Country!"
