Pirate: I only come here for three things!

129 The Death of Kozuki Oden (2)

One person, facing thousands of troops.

Thousands of troops and horses were waiting solemnly, and the two groups were fighting. But the warrior who walked out of the temple was just idly walking around, looking at the people in front of him as nothing.

"Shigezuki Ieyasu! Come out and see me!"

He walked forward calmly.

A gap opened in the military formation in front of him, and the mastermind of this incident, the former loyal minister Shigetsuki Ieyasu, who intended to rebel against the Kozuki family, showed his face.

He is now a little older and has gray hair on his temples. The once youthful genius turned into a serious adult over the years. At the very end, when he came to witness Kozuki Oden who he had raised like a son, there was no trace of emotion on his face.

"why?"

This is Kozuki Oden's most profound question.

"If you want power, I can give it to you. If you want the position of general, I can even give it to you, because I know that if you are in that position, you will definitely do better than me. Just like before my father died... Just treat him as if he’s really dead.”

"The will he left behind is that you can take his place and become the new master of Wano Country."

Kozuki Oden really doesn’t understand.

"But you didn't choose to do that. Instead, right now, before we are about to regain control of Wano Country, you chose such a path."

"I want to ask, why?"

Shigetsuki Ieyasu ignored everyone around him and sat directly opposite Kozuki Oden. From this distance, he could strangle him at any time. But he still chose to do so, and as usual, offered the good wine of his Shuangyue family, as if this was not a battlefield about to see blood, and they were not a hunter and prey.

"What do you think of your child, Kozuki Momonosuke."

A look of disgust appeared on Kozuki Oden's face. "It's not like me. She's very lustful. She doesn't have the same demeanor as I did when I was a child."

"Yes, it's not like you. The same is true for my child Shigezuki Tempura. My first wife died after giving birth to him. I gave him the best education, but should it be expected or taken for granted? He Nothing like me."

Through Shigetsuki Ieyasu's hand, the wine in the flask was poured evenly into the two ceramic cups.

"Only then did I understand what it means to be someone else's child. I had more and more expectations for him, and I hated iron more and more. Until one day, he finally gave up on himself and began to dare not do business all day long. I was the one who did it. Is it wrong? Maybe I did something wrong."

He sipped the wine in his glass with a bitter look on his face.

"Then it seems that neither of us is very good at educating children." Kozuki Oden was still cheerful even at this time.

"Fortunately, I still have Hiyori Kozuki to rely on. She is very similar to her mother, and is much better than my incompetent and stupid son."

"This is the reason why I chose to come here today, Kozuki Oden. I have watched you grow up, even if you went to sea for a while, wandering around the world, and even joined a group of great pirates. We spent some time together."

"But you are still you. I already have a rough idea of ​​what your life was like when you were seven years old, and what your personality will be in the future."

Shigetsuki Ieyasu finally finished the wine in his glass.

"Do you still remember the dispute we had about the victims?"

Kozuki Oden scratched his head, but there seemed to be no relevant memory in his empty brain. He thought hard for a while and finally came to a conclusion.

"Oh oh oh!"

"Do you remember?"

"I can't remember." Kozuki Oden said.

I can’t remember it. It’s okay if I can’t remember it.

Shigetsuki Ieyasu continued: "It is precisely because I know what kind of person you are, so I know what you will do when you learn that your son is dead."

The atmosphere in Kozuki Oden suddenly changed.

"...My son, Kozuki Momonosuke? What happened?"

"...So I said, you are not suitable for politics, and everything is shown directly on your face. How is this okay? In the end, no matter what calculations you have, and what methods the other side has, if you cannot manage yourself well, Isn’t it all just talk?”

Shigetsuki Ieyasu said something that he didn't understand, at least in Kozuki Oden's opinion.

"Is he still alive? My child." Kozuki Oden finally seemed to understand something.

"If he is still alive, how I wish what happened before was just a nightmare. Just two days ago, my child killed your child. It was a despicable, unskilled and impulsive act. mistake."

"But the consequences of this mistake will change the entire country of Wano."

"...I'm going to kill him."

Shigetsuki Ieyasu looked at the guy in front of him sadly. Should he say that he would never change his ways? He is still the same as before. All actions were as he predicted.

"Shigezuki Tempura, right? Where is he? I'm going to kill him!"

Purely, a father's anger.

What will this power bring?

At least for Kozuki Oden, it was a strong wind and crazy thunder. Many soldiers took a step back, not daring to face the killing god in front of them. This murderous intention was so pure that all he could think about was revenge for his child.

"But, he is my child." Shigetsuki Ieyasu looked at the things in front of him sadly, and then took out another bottle of wine. This wine is different from the wine just now. It is both a good wine and a poisonous wine.

"I know why you came here...to save your child?" Kozuki Oden was about to draw his sword and fight. Throughout his life he was not afraid of any opponent.

"I have two kids, and now I have to give up one kid for the other kid. Or give up my kid for the other kid."

"...What are you talking about? Don't you only have one child?"

Shigetsuki Ieyasu looked directly at Kouzuki Oden.

"My other child is called Wano."

Kozuki Oden was speechless.

"And I came here today just to seek relief. Today, there are only two endings here. You or I drink this glass of poisonous wine." He looked at the troops behind him and continued to ask Guangyue. Oden told. "I have given them an order. As long as I die, they will naturally respect you."

"Even if I caused your death?"

Shigezuki Ieyasu replied affirmatively: "Even if you kill me in front of them now. And after that, you can naturally kill my child Shigetsuki Tempura, and continue to dominate the allied forces, and even give way to Japan again. The country becomes what it was before.”

"I don't want to kill you?"

"Then I have no choice but to kill you, and I have to inform you that someone has surrendered to Kaido, probably tonight, right? If you insist on keeping my life, then you will die , there will be hundreds of people from the country of Wano."

"why?"

"I am his father." Shigetsuki Ieyasu smiled bitterly.

"We are all fathers."

Kozuki Oden laughed until he coughed up blood.

Then, he drank the poisonous wine in front of him.

"Really, didn't you give me a multiple-choice question in the end? It's just a shame. Then, old friend, Wano Country is entrusted to you."

His body was peaceful and about to fall to the ground, but was supported by Shigetsuki Ieyasu and held in his arms.
