Changes in the Country of Wano!

As the tumultuous storm brewed in the sea, a massive storm was also brewing within the borders of Wano Country.

The final battle between Kozuki Oden and Kurozumi Orochi was about to begin. Even Kaido dared not underestimate the man known as Kozuki Oden, who had finally made a decision. The Kozuki Oden family would lead the samurai of Kuri in rebellion!

"My Lord, this time we will surely determine the outcome of the battle! Wano Country will return to the rule of the Kozuki Oden family!" Kiku, Kinemon knelt before Kozuki Oden, speaking with conviction.

"Indeed, we will seize the opportunity while Kaido and his invaders are absent, and crush the forces of Orochi and repel the forces of Kurozumi!" Kanjuro spoke with equal seriousness. For them, choosing to follow Kozuki Oden meant binding themselves to him, sharing in his glory or facing death together in disgrace.

"Then, everyone, I entrust this to you!" Kozuki Oden sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at his kneeling vassals with solemnity, showing no trace of the former demon king of Wano.

After speaking, Kozuki Oden rose from the ground, accepting the Enma and Ame no habakiri handed to him by Toki. Then, he lifted the Enma high with one hand.

"May fortune favor our martial endeavors!"

"May fortune favor our martial endeavors!"

...

"What do we do! What do we do! He's coming, he's finally had enough!! Kozuki Oden! Where did that guy Kaido go!?"

Tall in stature but looking rather squat, with an ugly face and a crescent-shaped hairstyle, wearing a crown tilted to the side, Shogun Kurozumi of Wano walked anxiously back and forth in the hall.

Clearly, the intelligence received from Kuri had made him quite uneasy.

For him, his revenge against the Kozuki family was not yet complete, but at this moment, Kaido happened to be absent from Wano. Although he had the ability of the Fruit of the Nine-headed snake, which allowed him to protect himself for a short time but, once Kozuki Oden regained control of Wano, his death would be only a matter of time!

"What do we do! You two, say something! How do we deal with that guy Kozuki Oden!?"

Walking back and forth anxiously, Shogun Kurozumi stopped and asked, with a pair of elders standing behind him. However, the old man didn't speak, still busy playing the shamisen in his hand.

And the old lady seemed quite calm.

"Orochi, you are now the Shogun of Wano! Look at how flustered you are, where's the demeanor of a ruler?" Higurashi murmured calmly.

"But that's Kozuki Oden, the monster of Wano! Without Kaido here, how could we possibly be a match for that guy! We're going to die!" Shogun Kurozumi howled in frustration at Higurashi.

"Hmph, rest assured, I have received a reply from King already. Kaido will return to Wano before Kozuki Oden can chop off your head, and this time, there's another powerful guy besides him!" Higurashi spoke with a smirk, as if confident that with Kaido and that guy together, Kozuki Oden would have no way out!

"A powerful guy?"

Shogun Kurozumi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Charlotte Linlin, captain of the Big Mom Pirates, the strongest woman on the seas!"

Higurashi spoke confidently, having experienced firsthand how powerful Charlotte Linlin was as a former comrade. It could even be said that the now immensely powerful Kaido was nothing but a younger brother before Charlotte Linlin.

"I hope so!"

Shogun Kurozumi snorted, but his previously anxious mood also calmed down a bit. After all, since Higurashi and Semimaru began their takeover of Wano, every step had achieved the expected results.

As the calmed-down Orochi picked up his huge wine cup and took a sip, he turned to Fukurokuju and asked, "Where is Kozuki Oden now? Where have they reached?"

"Hahaha! That guy finally realized he's been fooled!" Higurashi sneered.

And Fukurokuju also smiled faintly, "Yes, Orochi, Kozuki Oden has finally realized that so-called national security is not determined by his actions, but by your mood. Now he's finally determined to come and overthrow you. According to their plan, they'll take advantage of the dusk, your drunkenness, and the change of defense in Flower capital to launch a surprise attack and directly take your head."

"But he doesn't know that the moment his plan is put into action, it's already exposed to us!"

"Now, while he's eyeing my head, I've been waiting for him for a long time!"

"Fukurokuju, he wants to give me a surprise, then I'll give him a surprise first! How's the ninja surprise team prepared to go to Kuri?"

"Everything is ready, Orochi. As soon as the battle begins in Flower capital, they will immediately attack Kozuki Oden Castle!" Fukurokuju said with a smile, ever since he chose to join the Kurozumi family with his ninja, the two of them have been tied together, and now with Kaido's support, Orochi obviously has more advantages.

"Hahaha! Then let's enjoy the final performance of the Kozuki family!" Orochi's face revealed a sinister smile, all the misfortunes caused by the Kozuki family were about to be repaid in full!!

As they headed to Flower capital, Kozuki Oden also began issuing orders.

"Kinemon, you lead three hundred samurai to attack the main gate of Flower capital."

"Yes!"

"Kanjuro, you go ahead and secretly contact Kyoshiro in Flower capital. We need his prestige in Flower capital and the support of those heroes."

"Don't worry, my lord!"

"As for the others, they will follow me to surprise Flower capital and slay Orochi!"

"Yes!"

"Kanjuro, are you sure Ringo has decided to help us? Kozuki Oden asked with a serious expression, because whether Ringo really supports him is crucial to this battle.

"Yes, my lord, this is the reply I got in person. Lord Ushimaru has promised to attack Flower capital from the direction of Ringo!"

...

With the issuance of one command after another, the samurai began to act one after another.

The samurai's team galloped towards Flower capital with a rumbling sound.

As they traveled, the samurai arrived at a hillside on the outskirts of Flower capital just as the sun was setting, and they stopped.

Standing on the hill, looking at the brightly lit Flower capital in the distance, Kozuki Oden felt a myriad of emotions surge within him.

He had once seen it as a cage, but now he understood its significance.

"Everyone! Let us bring dawn to Wano Country!"

Kozuki Oden shouted loudly at the distant Flower capital.
