Pirate: I only come here for three things!

"Isn't there news recently? Your Excellency Kozuki Sukiyaki is back from the dead."

Hyogoro frowned, his ugly face full of disgust. As a member of the martial arts, he hated this simple butchering plate. As a former minister, he felt disgusted that the master he once served was being used at will.

Kozuki Sukiyaki is dead, that's what he really thinks in his heart.

"You said before that there was definite information proving that he is still alive?"

"To be more precise, it was Toyoda who proved to Hanaryu that Kozuki Sukiyaki is not dead." Duanmu felt a little emotional when he thought of this. Although Toyota has been plotted by various people from beginning to end, he is actually a capable guy. .

"The price for Hanagi's loyalty to Toyota is that Toyota will rescue Kozuki Sukiyaki. This is the fundamental reason why the samurai switched to his sect." And in order to truly win over this powerful swordsman, Toyota also used A feasible plan, and the most important thing...

The place where Kozuki Sukiyaki was imprisoned.

What? Are you saying that Toyota is not a crony of Black Tan Orochi? But Toyota does not have this boring psychological burden. Whether it's a case of collusion or a mutual affinity, as an important collaborator of Black Carbon Orochi, he really did this.

"Except for Dazheng, everyone leaves here."

Finally took the bait.

When the girls all left, the former paradise covered in gold powder turned into a simple and elegant swordsman's room. Obviously nothing external has changed, but I don't know why there are earth-shaking changes now. The former paradise of love and fun has now become a battlefield of chilling murder.

At this time, the negotiation really started. Under the temptation, the guy in front of him finally couldn't help but choose the end.

"...What price do I have to pay to learn that location from you? Or to get that sword manual?"

They seem to be talking about two things, but they actually refer to the same thing. The person in front of me was eager to know where Kozuki Sukiyaki was being held. He knew that this was one of the few cards that the young man in front of him had, but it would still be fine even if he used the king bomb in his hand to exchange for this card.

"Is it the traces of Kaido's remnants? Or is it a 100% trustworthy ship that can take you back to the World Government? As long as you mention anything within my capabilities, I will satisfy you." His eyes There is light in it. "If it's true, then this news is indeed worthy of my taking at all costs."

His subtext is of course that if it is false, the consequence will be complete antagonism between the two. At the same time, leaving the choice to Duanmu is also part of the temptation. Whether the lion opens its mouth widely or is cautious, something will always come out.

The eternal pursuit in politics is stability, and the most powerful skill in officialdom is to know people. The so-called doing more and making more mistakes also means that your personal habits, personality and abilities are constantly being mastered by outsiders. At a certain point, no matter what kind of person he is, he will become just a screw in the success market.

To borrow words from those events in the Ming Dynasty, the Wanli Dynasty was, in the final analysis, just a story about the smartest man in the world catching Wanli to study. When Wanli, the emperor, was thoroughly understood, he truly changed from emperor to emperor.

The choice here is very important, Duanmu thought. Of course, the most important thing is not to reveal your true purpose.

So Duanmu said: "General Black Carbon Orochi may...maybe, probably, be unwell recently."

Hana no Hyogoro's eyes suddenly became sharp. His brain was running for a while, and he used the excuse of drinking tea to delay time, and then shook his head slightly.

"The general is in good health."

The downfall of Black Carbon Orochi is not in his interest, and after all, even if the Kozuki family is to be restored, why should he help? Before he was imprisoned in a quarry and his education was completely bankrupt, as a property owner, although he was capable, strong and courageous. But at the same time, as a small group of people at the top of Wano Country, he felt sorry for the bottles in his hands.

"It is said that Kozuki Sukiyaki-dono's health is not good and he needs to rest for a long time. I think the newly built mansion of the black charcoal snake under the giant cherry blossoms is very suitable as the residence of a real general. And since he is going to rest, then and Of course, the trivial matters of the country, large and small, can no longer tax him."

Hana no Hyogoro's eyes changed again.

"The World Government is preparing to intervene in Wano Country?"

"No, no, no..." Duanmu waved his hands repeatedly. He couldn't paint tiger skin like this. If he really said that, it would be self-defeating. "The World Government has many important trades in your country. We are unable and unable to confront a regional overlord in the New World. And our current problem is not this, but about the health of certain people. It's just a guess. In short, if the above thing happens, Wano Country needs a high-minded and upright guy to assist the General in managing the government."

Hanazhiyougoro touched his chin: "So, it seems that illness is really unavoidable. The two-term shogun may indeed be unwell recently."

"I think this important minister who assists the General must represent the people of Wano... and in my opinion, you are the leader of the underworld and one of the best swordsmen in Wano. You should be able to shoulder such an important task. ?”

Hana no Hyougoro was sure that the guy in front of him was drawing cakes.

"But are you capable enough?"

Duanmu patted his chest and promised: "I have obtained a promise from another key person. You may also know him. He is the hot-handed person under Heitan Orochi and is also responsible for the security work of Heitan Orochi. life."

Fu Lu Shou, a guy who is more loyal to the country of Wano than to the Black Carbon Orochi. Because of his disappointment with Kozuki Oden, he chose to follow Kurotan Orochi. Hana no Hyogoro received too much information in this negotiation, and now his brain is completely exhausted.

If Fu Lu Shou also participated in this plan...it would work.

"Then what do you want to gain from this operation?"

Duanmu rubbed his hands with a playful smile: "15 billion Baileys."

"Why don't you go and grab it!" Omasa, who had been standing behind Hana no Hyogoro, was angry. Even if they were at the top of the gang, their total profit for the year was less than the amount of money they had to hand over to local daimyo and pensions. There is no 15 billion. This amount of money seemed to him an astronomical sum.

A pretty boy who refuses to eat while toasting.

"Our annual profit is less than 15 billion beli!"

Perhaps it was because of conflicting horoscopes, or perhaps because of his dislike for educated people, that he was furious at this time. Of course, he never thought that this was also a trap that Duanmu had deliberately set from the beginning...

A person's first impression is very important, but in fact, the dress when entering and the dress when facing Leopard Goro are slightly adjusted. And because he saw his appearance, Duanmu also deliberately tried to counter the previous stereotypes about this kind of person...

As for the direction, it depends on how disgusted it makes him.

I didn't expect it to have such a good effect, Duanmu laughed secretly in his heart. He has long been accustomed to the method of taking one step and counting three. Although he has suffered from Kennedy and even Kaido recently, this has not changed his character. Rather, it has made him pay more attention to his "details".

As for not having 15 billion a year... Duanmu looked at Hanazhiyougoro with a half-smiling look.

"...I'll make you laugh."

"There there."

"Dazheng, get out." He coldly ordered the people behind him.

"...I'm right at the door. If you call me loudly, I'll come in right away." Dazheng didn't mean to challenge his master's authority. He secretly said goodbye to Duanmu and walked out of the living room.

In real history, luck 1 and 9 are the norm. Behind the Haicao dispute is actually a group of middlemen operating up and down. The problem of land annexation in the feudal dynasty is an eternal problem that cannot be solved, and as the black gloves of the gentlemen of Wano...

"15 billion is not a problem." Baogoro said. "But do you really have this ability? After all, I can kick you away and find Fu Lu Shou alone. There is no middleman to make the difference."

"After all, as long as you know that he has this intention, nothing else matters. Except for that address, your presence seems not necessary in this matter?"

He keenly found an entry point to this problem and chose to put pressure on Duanmu. Now he is even ready to kill Duanmu directly after the negotiation breaks down, and then look for it in his belongings... As for Gang Gukong's revenge... The sky is high and the emperor is far away, he is really not very afraid.

And the worst-case scenario is that if you don't find it, it's just a small loss.

The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air suddenly became stronger. Both of them were laughing and making dark plans.

"How superficial." Duanmu said proudly.

"……what?"

"So you are only qualified to be a gangster boss..." Duanmu shook his head, "What are you thinking about? This time you defeat the black charcoal snake and meet the Kozuki Sukiyaki...and then what? Then you don't care at all. Have you considered it? Or do you really just regard the nonsense I just said as the final outcome?"

Leopard Goro was silent.

"After defeating the black charcoal snake, who is your biggest enemy? It's Sukiyaki. And the value I provide you is that it allows you to take the lead in the subsequent struggle, and the second is that it allows you to fight again after that. Have a backup plan.”

"Being first means that as long as you have my information, you will have an advantage as soon as you control... well, you will be able to welcome Wang Jia back. What I mean by being second... this involves my second identity."

He handed over a string of prayer beads.

"I'm also a lobbyist from Frost Moon Monkey Horse."

This is a lie. This prayer bead was snatched from Frost Moon Monkey Horse... before. But there is no doubt that this is indeed the thing of the monk Shuangyue Monkey Horse, and it can indeed be used as his token. There are nine falsehoods and one truth in this statement. The key is that he has not been able to verify it.

"...Isn't Frost Moon Monkey Horse busy marrying his eight-year-old wife?"

Wait, what is the monk Shuangyue Monkey Horse doing recently that is so shocking that ghosts and gods are weeping! Eight years old? Sweet wife?

Suddenly he realized that he didn't understand the country of Wano, let alone the monks of the country, let alone the beast of the Frost Moon Monkey Horse.

"But if it's you."

This is precisely because Hanazhiyougoro has investigated Duanmu in detail and even found out that he traveled with Frost Moon Monkey Horse for a period of time. Now he feels that it is indeed possible.

Duanmu breathed a sigh of relief, this matter was settled.

In fact, he has not found Fushoulu yet. I've never seen it before, but that doesn't matter. Just like Jiang Wen's coquettish operation on the two big names in letting bullets fly, Duanmu is also ready to repeat it. This is also the confidence that comes from the comics written by Oda in his previous life.

Fukusuru's performance in the comics... He has enough confidence to make him switch sides, of course, if it can really give him the future of Wano Country he imagined.

This is not a big problem for Huabing professional Hu Duanmu.

The most troublesome part of this nonsense is the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. Which one should be deceived first, Hyougoro the Flower, or the fortune and longevity? After thinking about it for a while, Duanmu decided to start with this gangster first.

"In short, the ninjas and daimyo are also worried about the general's health. If the black charcoal snake is really sick...and Mr. Kozuki Sukiyaki needs to recuperate, this country needs a second one like Shigetsuki Ieyasu. Big shot.”

Flower Hyougoro: "Then when will the current general get sick?"

Duanmu smiled and replied: "Five days later."

Hana no Hyougoro raised the tea.

"If the general is really sick, the gang can only choose to take action to maintain the stability of Wano Country... Of course, the premise is that Lord Kozuki Sukiyaki must be satisfied... to obey the name of the country."

Hanazhiyougoro was done with it, and Duanmu was preparing non-stop to find Fushoulu. After some oral gymnastics, both parties reached a relatively satisfactory result. They all believe that it is indeed in everyone's interest to get rid of the Black Carbon Orochi and replace it with a new one.

However, the part they were really prepared to take action was limited to rescuing Kozuki Sukiyaki, and Fukusuru still had an ambiguous attitude about rescuing Kozuki Sukiyaki. They had no intention of getting deeply involved in the conspiracy against the Black Carbon Orochi after that.

In human terms, they are prepared with both hands. To put it bluntly, they will follow whoever wins.

After going around the matchmaking process, the core point is missing.

But Duanmu actually didn't panic at all. One day later, the customer he had been waiting for for a long time came to his door again. The number one think tank of Kozuki Oden, who had met in Suzuo, now appeared in front of Duanmu again.

"...What happened in your letter about rescuing Lord Kozuki Sukiyaki?" He asked Duanmu seriously as soon as he came up. After the death of Kozuki Oden, the people who originally gathered under the Kozuki family were somewhat leaderless. But Kitsune Fire Kinemon, who was trained to be the head of the retainers, is dead. Although the Kozuki family still has a lot of strength now, it is difficult to bring everyone with different ideas together without a new banner.

At this time, Black Carbon Orochi raised the card of Kozuki Sukiyaki. Realizing this was an opportunity, Denjiro immediately took action.

Now that Duanmu was dragging Denjiro who appeared in the Flower Capital, he felt relieved. The last piece of the puzzle is finally complete.
