Chapter 29 Dignity and Responsibility

The northern cemetery, located in the easternmost bell of Wanokuni, is the largest burial place in Wanokuni, where the legendary sword god Ryoma was buried.

Looking at the overgrown, mass grave-like cemetery, Yamato couldn't help being disappointed. She thought it would be a solemn and sacred place.

"Father, this place is so desolate."

"Um."

Kaido nodded slightly, anticipating the scene in front of him.

Since Orochi came to power, except for the prosperous flower capital, all other townships have established weapon factories, which has caused river water pollution and greatly reduced food production.

People's lives are becoming more and more difficult, so naturally they don't have the energy to take care of such a large cemetery. After a long time, it's hard not to think about it.

"General Orochi is too hateful!"

Yamato looked aggrieved, and after leaving the city of flowers, Wanokuni's true face was revealed before her eyes.

poor, dirty, messy

According to Sasaki, General Orochi is one of the culprits that caused all this!

Yamato was furious, looked up at Kaido and asked, "Father, why do you help such a bad guy?"

"Because he can provide us with the supplies and weapons necessary for survival."

Kaido replied calmly, he doesn't care how bad the big snake is, and he doesn't care about the people of Wanokuni, as long as it can bring enough benefits, then there is no problem.

After all, he is Kaido of the Beasts, one of the most ferocious criminals in the world. If he wants to survive better in this chaotic world, he can only put away his overflowing sympathy.

Yamato couldn't understand it for the time being, and asked with a bitter face: "Father, can't we find someone else to cooperate?"

"sure."

Kaido looked directly at Yamato, with deep meaning in his eyes: "As long as it can meet our needs, anyone can be a general. Yamato, do you want to be a general?"

"I don't want to!"

Yamato's head turned into a rattle. Her dream is to go to sea to see the outside world. How can she stay in Wanokuni as a general, let alone harm the people of Wanokuni.

"That's up to you."

Kaido rubbed Yamato's head and said with a smile: "I have already decided that when you grow up, I will let you be a general."

"Ah, how could this be!"

Yamato immediately pouted, a hundred times unhappy, but not too disgusted. In fact, she didn't know what it meant to be a general.

However, behind her, Sasaki's expression changed again and again. If Kaido really intends to do so, then Wanokuni's future lies with Yamato!

"Father, why did you choose me as the general?"

"Because you are my daughter."

"But--"

"Shut up and go up the mountain."

"Stinky old man!"

During the quarrel, a group of people passed through the slightly dim torii gate and climbed the mountain along the stone road.

The destination of this itinerary is the shrine on the top of the mountain, where Wanokuni's national treasure, the famous sword Qiushui, is enshrined, and the tomb of the sword god Ryoma is also in the shrine.

When Maria accompanied her parents to worship Ryoma, she ran around alone, and then accidentally ate Devil Fruit.

At this time, in the ancestral hall where the Ryoma Tablet and the National Treasure Qiushui are enshrined, a man who looks exactly like Zoro is sitting on the futon kneeling, without saying a word, as if he has worshiped for a long time.

Not long after, the old man in charge of the shrine walked into the ancestral hall and spoke respectfully.

"Your Highness, Kaido of the Beasts is here!"

"."

The man's body shook slightly, he was silent for a moment, got up and walked out of the ancestral hall, just in time for Kaido and his group to meet him.

"Hey, Shimotsuki beef balls."

Kaido raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to meet Suzugo's daimyo, Shimotsuki Ushimaru. This guy is no less powerful than Leopard Goro, and he is one of the samurai he most wants to recruit.

Shimotsuki Ushimaru's eyes were gloomy, and he asked in a concentrated voice: "Kaido, this is a shrine dedicated to the sword god Ryoma, what do you want to come here?"

"What I want to do, it's not your turn to intervene."

Kaido didn't mean to explain. He stretched out his hand and pulled Maria to his side, and said to her with a smile, "Maria, take me to the place where they are stored."

Devil Fruit does not grow on trees, nor is it in the wild, but is stored in the shrine and is a tribute to the sword god Ryoma, so there are as many as three.

"Um!"

Maria nodded vigorously, thought about it carefully for a while, and walked towards the back of the ancestral hall. If she remembered correctly, the tomb of the dragon horse was buried behind the ancestral hall.

The strange fruits in memory were placed in front of Ryoma's tombstone, and she ate one of them secretly because she was very hungry.

"Wait a moment!"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru stopped in front of the crowd, his expression uncertain: "Kaido, the backyard is a sacred place where the remains of the sword god Ryoma are placed, please don't disturb him!"

"Step aside."

Kaido said lightly: "Ryoma may be the belief of your warriors, but to me, he is just an ancient man who has been dead for hundreds of years and has no meaning. I came this time to take away two things."

"Two things?"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru was taken aback when he heard the words, the first thing that came to mind was the national treasure Qiushui. As one of the few famous swords in the world, few people can not be tempted by Qiushui.

But he quickly rejected this idea, Kaido is not a swordsman, there is no need to take Qiushui, that will only deepen Wanokuni's anger.

"You have to take those two magic fruits!"

Shimotsuki Gyumaru reacted quickly.

Apart from Qiushui, the most valuable things in the shrine are the two sorcery fruits as a tribute. Once you eat them, you can learn powerful sorcery.

"That's right."

Kaido raised a smile. In Wanokuni, Devil Fruit is called the fruit of magic, and after eating it, one can become a magician.

"It looks like they're still here."

"."

Shimotsuki Ushimaru's face was ugly, and the fruit of sorcery was indeed still in the shrine. It was a tribute to the sword god Ryoma, and no samurai could touch it.

He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything to stop him, because he knew very well that he couldn't stop Kaido by himself.

"Maria, let's go."

Kaido continued to walk towards the backyard, and when he passed by Shimotsuki Ushimaru, his footsteps paused.

"The age of the samurai has passed, and no matter how much you worship Ryoma, it will not change the status quo of Wanokuni."

"On the way here, I saw a lot of dead bones on the side of the road, and I also encountered a few groups of poor and poor thieves blocking the road."

"The people are in dire straits, and bandits are rampant. As a daimyo, you should be responsible for your own people, instead of hiding here to worship your ancestors."

"As long as you submit to me, I assure you that the people behind the bell will never go hungry again."

"Think about it carefully. Is it more important for you to be a warrior, or the survival of the common people after Bell Queen?"

Kaido shook his head and strode away.

Seeing Kaido leave, Shimotsuki Ushimaru clenched his fists. He is not Kozuki Oden, and he will not trust Kaido's promises.
