Pirate Journalist

Chapter 213 Denjiro's Determination (35)

Regarding Murphy's question, Denjiro and Shimotsuki Yasuka showed strange expressions.

It seemed that there was nothing strange about the choices they made, but Murphy who asked such a question seemed even more strange.

The Kang family pondered for a while, and replied cautiously: "Master Murphy doesn't know something. So far, Wano Country has never had a female general. We don't know what it is like overseas, but according to Wano Country's recorded history, So far, there are no female generals, and the people will not accept it, or even think about it."

As he said that, he sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that no one can take the position of general, I don't want to suffer the gossip of the people in this position even though I am old! After all, I am acting as general now, and Orochi The situation of the acting general back then is so similar!"

As they spoke, there was a trace of helplessness in the Kang family's voice. This kind of orthodox Guangyue family has no successors, which has happened twice in decades, but now it is the third time.

The first time was that the Kozuki family had no heir to inherit the position of general, which led to competition among several major families in Wano country.

There was no problem with the competition, but the Heitan clan frequently resorted to insidious tricks, which caused problems for the competitors of the major clans.

Fortunately, in the end, Kozuki Oden's father, Kozuki Sukiyaki was born, and the turbulent situation stopped.

And when the Heitan clan usurped the position of general that time, they tried all their tricks, but still failed, and the whole clan was implicated and hunted down.

The second time was when Kozuki Sukiyaki died of illness, but Kozuki Oden, as the heir, went overseas to become a pirate, which led to Kurotan Orochi taking the position of general with sorcery and conspiracy.

Kozuki Sukiyaki left his last words at the last moment, letting Orochi temporarily take the position of general.

Only now, they have learned from Shinobu that the Kozuki Sukiyaki at that time was actually a member of the Heitan family, which was transformed by the ability to imitate the fruit.

And the real sukiyaki has long been killed by a big snake.

This time, the Heitan Orochi usurping the throne directly caused the entire Wano Country to be in dire straits.

But now, the Guangyue family once again ushered in the situation of no successors.

There is only one girl left in the entire Kozuki family, and the orthodox heir Momonosuke will not show up until 20 years at the earliest.

However, after hearing the Kang family's words, Murphy smiled instead, with a trace of sarcasm in his voice: "So, this is not a problem that the public cannot accept. To put it bluntly, it's because you don't agree with the female general in your own hearts. Just count the girl in the ranks of heirs, otherwise, with the energy you gather together, even if it is an unprecedented thing, as long as you push it hard, it will definitely be successful."

Although I have not been to Wano country for a long time, I have not seen some customs here with my own eyes, but some things can be glimpsed from other places.

Shimotsuki Village in the East China Sea was built by Kosaburo Shimotsuki who left Wano country more than 30 years ago. His son is Koshiro Shimotsuki, and Koshiro gave birth to a daughter named Kuina.

From Koshiro's unwillingness to let Kuina inherit the Kendo Gym, one can clearly know what kind of country Wano is.

On the surface, what he said to Kuina was: due to the limitation of physical strength, the female swordsman will never become the number one in the world.

But just to inherit the Kendo Gym, does it have to become the number one in the world before it can be inherited?
There is only one real reason. Koshiro, who is from Shimoyue's lineage, would not consider being a woman to continue the Yixin Gym.

In the same way, in Wano Country, this kind of thinking is even more serious.

In the middle of speaking, Murphy glanced at the two of them casually, and said, "Actually, in my opinion, it is not difficult for the public to accept such things as female generals."

If at this time, the Kang family and Denjiro asked for a solution even with a little hesitation, it would prove that they accepted it in their hearts.

It's a pity that these two people are silent, obviously they still resist the fact that the general of the Wano country is a woman.

And Murphy didn't intend to get involved in the internal affairs of Wano Country.

"What's the second thing?" Murphy looked at the two, shook his head slightly, and asked.

The Kang family glanced at Denjiro with complicated eyes, and said, "The rest is Denjiro's private business."

Murphy turned his gaze to Denjiro, and he said respectfully, "Master Murphy, I want to join you."

"Aren't you a retainer of the Guangyue family?" Murphy asked doubtfully.

"I've quit."

"Oh? Why?" Murphy asked curiously.

If Denjiro chose to defect because of Murphy's strength, this situation certainly did not exist.

After all, there used to be Kaido who stood above Wano Country. If Denjiro relied on a powerful person, he would have re-selected his camp a long time ago.

But Denjiro didn't. Even facing Kaido, Denjiro still acted as Kozuki's retainer and stood at the front line of the resistance camp.

Under Murphy's probing eyes, Denjiro didn't dare to lie. He said bluntly, "I'm a retainer of the Kozuki family, mainly because I worship Mida-sama, but now Mida-sama is dead and Momonosuke-sama is not here. With the help of Mr. Murphy, Wano Country has turned the crisis into a safe place, and it doesn't make much sense for me to continue to be a retainer. This is one of them.

The second is that I also want to go overseas and see the magnificence of overseas.

The third is..."

Having said that, Denjiro's voice paused for a moment, as if he was thinking whether to say it or not.

"The third is, you think you can be a link between Wano Country and me, right?"

When Denjiro paused, Murphy's slightly smiling voice sounded.

Denjiro froze for a moment, showing a relieved look: "You are right, you guessed it, but this strengthens my determination to follow Lord Murphy."

"You're really worried about Wano Country!" Murphy sighed.

If Denjiro helped him enough, then he would definitely treat Wano Country better for Denjiro's sake.

Murphy doesn't mind this kind of allegiance, but only if it can really help him.

He looked at Denjiro carefully, and said: "In this sea, nothing else is important, only strength is the core. Your current strength in the sea can only be considered good.

This good strength is enough for you to deal with most crises. However, my enemies are all top-notch characters. Think about what you can help when facing Kaido, even if you are facing the two captains. What can I do with my current strength? "

"Then what do you mean..." Denjiro looked a little regretful.

Under the inexplicable gaze of the two, Murphy picked up Tian Yuyu and threw it to Denjiro: "Since you are going to give me these two knives, then I will give you one of them until you think you are His strength can deal with Jhin or Quinn's level, come to me at that time."

"I understand." Denjiro nodded, showing a hint of excitement.

Although he didn't agree immediately, but being able to cut Tian Yuyu to himself was a kind of recognition.

"There are many ways to become stronger. It can be to constantly challenge the strong, or to experience along the great route. In short, if there are no masters in Wano Country, don't stay here and stand still."

"Yes, I will go to sea immediately..." Denjiro paused suddenly, showing a regretful expression: "The terrain of Wano Country is steep, and I seem to be unable to get out."

"It's okay, I happen to be going out tomorrow, so just come with me," Murphy said.

"Ok."

Murphy had planned to go out a long time ago. During this World Conference, he planned to go to the Holy Land to see if he could meet Morgans.
