Despicable Move!
The arrival of Toki and Momonosuke directly changed the atmosphere in the Shogun's stronghold.
As they beheld Lady Toki bound there and the uncertain fate of Kozuki Momonosuke, Kinemon's body instantly tensed, his teeth clenched, blood even trickling from the corners of his mouth.
The other retainers of the Kozuki clan, upon seeing their captured mistress and young master, struggled desperately, almost like madmen.
Due to their sudden burst of power, the Beasts Pirates who were originally restraining them couldn't hold them down, allowing Kinemon, Denjiro, and others to break free.
Almost in the moment they broke free, several of them, including Kinemon and Denjiro, made a resolute decision to rush towards Lady Toki and Kozuki Momonosuke, even though they knew it was impossible to rescue them with their own safety uncertain. Still, they chose to do so, exposing their backs to the enemy.
This swift reaction and choice demonstrated their unwavering loyalty to the Kozuki clan.
That's the truth.
After all, even though Daimyos and others were somewhat surprised upon seeing Lady Toki and Momonosuke captured, their reactions were not as intense as those of the Kozuki retainers.
And facing their loyal retainers rushing towards them, Lady Toki's gaze passed over them and landed behind them.
On her face, instead of a joyful smile at being rescued, there was an expression as if she had seen something terrifying.
"Don't!"
Almost as Lady Toki shouted, spouts of blood erupted from behind several Kozuki retainers, staining a large area of the ground red.
Almost in the instant of their uprising, the judgment made by Kinemon and others was evident.
On the platform, as the Kozuki retainers were struck down, King slowly retracted the long sword in his hand.
Facing this scene, Queen was not surprised; instead, he swallowed the piece of meat and bone from Orochi Table, then revealed a mocking smile.
It can be said that after Charlotte Linlin chose to ally with Kaido, the situation in Wano was already stable.
"What a dishonest fellow."
Orochi looked at the fallen Kozuki retainers with a disdainful look. After all, these people used to look down on him a lot.
"Men!"
Orochi shouted loudly, and soon dozens of samurai walked out from both sides.
"Cut off the arms of these people and hang them up!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Orochi's order, Kinemon also looked at Orochi with a strange expression, but it was just a glance. Then he turned his gaze to the battlefield of Flower Capital, where the battle between Kaido and Kozuki Oden had reached a decisive moment.
Meanwhile, on a hill in the distance from Flower Capital, a young girl dressed as a ninja looked nervously at the battlefield of Flower Capital and the direction of the Shogun's stronghold.
She reacted like this not only because of the stunning power displayed in the battle between Kaido and Oden.
It was also because, at this moment, a giant stake was erected on the stronghold, with a well-known figure in Wano bound to it, and the retainers of Oden were all directly deprived of their arms by Orochi!
The situation was extremely unfavorable!
In such a situation, the young ninja felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
"Nee-san, let's go save Mom, okay?"
Beside her, Kozuki Hiyori looked at the young ninja with tears in her eyes.
But the young ninja didn't say anything, just hugged Hiyori in her arms. Hiyori couldn't see the situation on the battlefield clearly, but after her rigorous training, she could see everything clearly. If nothing unexpected happened, Oden would lose.
It seems that they can only seek refuge there.
The young ninja silently thought as she looked in the direction of Hakumai.
And just then, Orochi suddenly walked towards Lady Toki and then, to everyone's surprise, grabbed her hair and pulled her to the railing of the stronghold.
Then, with a strange laugh, he reached out and grabbed Lady Toki's clothes.
Rip!
Accompanied by the sound of tearing cloth, the stronghold suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Almost everyone was stunned by Orochi's sudden action.
"Hey, you two, come over here and hold her down! Don't let her move!"
Seeing Lady Toki struggling constantly, Orochi spoke again.
"Mom, I want Mom."
And with the commotion in the stronghold, Momonosuke, who had been knocked unconscious by Orochi, didn't know when he woke up. Upon waking up, he found himself in a strange environment, feeling the intense pain in his body, and seeing the terrified look of the retainers around him.
"Momo, close your eyes and don't look!"
With her arms pinned down on both sides and pressed against the railing, Lady Toki couldn't use her powers. All she could do was loudly tell Momonosuke to close his eyes and not to see the dirty scene that was about to happen.
While the other daimyos' faces turned ugly, their hearts sank to the bottom.
The fierce battle between Kaido and Oden had been going on for a long time.
"Hah! Hah! Hah!"
Oden's face had become extremely pale, his breathing particularly rapid, and his whole body's muscles trembling slightly. Having used his ultimate moves multiple times, he was now somewhat exhausted.
"Is that all you've got? Samurai!"
Kaido roared loudly, his state no better than Oden's. He had many more wounds on his body, including one on his neck that was still bleeding. It could be said that if he hadn't blocked it at a critical moment, he would have been seriously injured.
However, this long period of high-intensity combat made Kaido feel like he had taken another step forward!
Indeed, fighting against strong opponents was the best way to become stronger!
"Don't joke with me!! There is Still a long way to go!"
Oden roared with all his strength, his body once again pouncing forward. "How could I fall before you bastards are driven out of Wano?!"
"Wororororo! Come on! Come on! Let the battle make me even more joyful!!!"
Kaido laughed loudly, his whole being like a demon, wielding his iron club with conqueror's haki to strike.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two continued to clash.
But Oden was too tired. He was indeed too tired.
His stamina was far inferior to that of Kaido, a zoan-type ability user. As the balance gradually tipped, his disadvantage became more and more significant, forcing him to expend even more energy and stamina to deal with Kaido's attacks.
He was really on the verge of defeat now.
His arms wielding the twin swords were no longer as easy and relaxed as before, and he could feel the trembling of his arm muscles with every collision with Kaido. But Kaido was the same; he couldn't hold out much longer either.
And just at the moment of their clash once again, out of the corner of Kozuki Oden's eye, he caught sight of the scene on the stronghold. At that moment, Lady Toki was being held down, tears in her eyes, while Orochi was reaching to undo his own trousers, and behind them stood a row of stakes with his comrades bound to them.
Even someone as powerful as Kozuki Oden, at this moment, finally faltered for an instant, revealing vulnerability.
In a battle reaching this point, a single vulnerability was already enough.
"Descend, Third Era: Infernal Abyss!!"
Kaido soared into the air, trailing a long black lightning bolt, wrapped around his two-toned conqueror's haki iron club, and smashed it down with a resounding force.
Boom!!
The earth instantly cratered, and a circular shockwave spread out abruptly, stirring up a raging wind and billowing smoke.
"Oden..."
"Lord Oden!"
The Akazaya retainers bound to the erected stakes watched this scene with tears streaming down their faces.
It was over.
The final resistance of Wano had come to an end here.
The invincible Kozuki Oden had been defeated today.
"Orochi!"
And at this moment, Kaido, who had emerged victorious, felt not joy but anger as he glared in the direction of the stronghold, where the events that led to Oden's vulnerability had occurred!
And with Kaido's furious roar, Orochi, who was still in the midst of undoing his trousers, suddenly shuddered, as if being targeted by some higher predator.
