Chapter 153 Kurozumi Orochi: I suddenly feel that life is so bitter.
Kurozumi Orochi looked completely stunned.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, that's not it!!"
"I only want to secure my position as general, not kill everyone!"
"Kill everyone? Talk...it seems your position as general is illegitimate."
Babel lay back down, picking his nose with his left pinky.
"So what should I do? If it's too troublesome, let's just forget about it."
"I'm better at killing on the ground, underwater, and using spiraling, tumbling techniques to kill."
Kurozumi Orochi: ———
Is this guy crazy? Kurozumi Muge:
"Well, anyway, come with us first, and I'll appoint you as the captain of my guard!" said Babel, that scoundrel.
As he said this, Kurozumi Orochi proudly raised his head, as if the captain of the guard was some kind of high-ranking position.
Remembering Bazel's instructions before his departure, Babel did not show any impatience.
"I don't care about the guard captain or anything like that. Anyway, my job is to kill anyone who dares to spit on you, right?"
The black charcoal serpent remained silent.
Why should he be spat on?
He's a general!
Even if he's only acting general now, he's still a general!
well··
"I suddenly feel a bit tired. Mu Chan, you explain this to him."
Kurotan Musashi stepped forward and took the initiative to speak: "Where are they?"
"Them? Boss Bazel? They've gone to find food."
Babel made up a random excuse.
"This place is in the middle of nowhere. Do you think we're gods who can go three days without food or water?"
"They failed to breach the Light Moon City—"
"It's not Kozuki Castle, it's Orochi Castle!" Kurozumi Orochi corrected. "I've already renamed the central district of the Flower Capital Orochi Castle!"
Babel, interrupted, glanced over and raised his right eyebrow slightly:
"Are you an idiot? You've only just become a general and you're already trying to change the name of the capital? Doesn't that clearly show your ambition?"
"Aren't you afraid that those powerful figures will come and attack you?"
"Does your stupid family have a powerful army that can withstand their attack?"
Every time Babel asked a question, the black charcoal serpent felt as if an arrow had pierced its heart.
In just three sentences, he heard "idiot" twice.
"I am a general!!!"
"I'm still a fish-man!"
Babel rolled his eyes, and a booger he casually flicked away landed right on Kurozumi Orochi's luxurious robe.
"Don't flaunt your status in front of me. I'm only willing to help you because of Bazel's instructions."
"Otherwise, do you think I'd willingly come to this godforsaken land of Wano?"
"Get out of here."
Babel slapped the giant black serpent away and looked at Kurozumi Musashi.
"Don't let that mentally challenged general get close to me again, or I'm worried I'll catch idiocy."
"You speak."
Kurozumi Higurashi glanced at the unconscious Kurozumi Orochi, wanting to hold him accountable, but then remembered the difference in their abilities.
He then silently looked away.
"For now, Kozuki City is still called Kozuki City; Orochi City is just the general's future plan."
"He has not yet officially become a general."
A decree was handed to Babel.
[—? Considering that Lord Oden has not returned from his voyage at sea, Kurozumi Orochi has been appointed to temporarily assume Oden's position and manage various affairs of Wano Country.]
"You also know that I am a Devil Fruit user."
After showing off the appearance of Kozuki Sukiyaki, Kurozumi Hagiri transformed back into her original form.
"I wrote my will using the face of the former general, entrusting Orochi with the temporary administration of Wano Country."
"After the people have gotten used to it for a while, I will use that face to make him a formal general again."
"And what you have to do is hold off the coalition of other daimyo during this period."
"The common people are easy to fool, but the daimyo of those regions are all intelligent men. Because of some past entanglements, they will not accept Orochi as shogun."
"This could very well trigger a major war, and I need your military support."
"As payment—"
The black charcoal cicada paused for a moment, lost in thought.
"As Lord Orochi said, we will share everything in Wano Country with you."
"But the nominal general must be a member of the Kurotan family."
Babel tossed the edict back, mentally comparing it to the plans of Kurotan Muchan and Bazel.
He shook his head, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Just as Bazell had predicted.
That Kurozumi Orochi probably won't be able to hold onto his position as the Shogun of Wano Country for long.
"No problem, you can discuss the specifics of profit sharing with Kaido later."
"After all, he is the nominal master of the Beasts Pirates, not me. I am only responsible for clearing obstacles in your path."
As Babel stood up, the black charcoal serpent, who had been in a brief coma, awoke.
"Hmm... That's strange, why did I faint?"
Kurozumi Mugen stepped forward calmly: "Lord Orochi, you slipped and fell."
She dared not say that Babel had knocked her unconscious, otherwise she would probably receive the same slap as her.
"We have reached an agreement with Lord Babel that the Beasts Pirates will do everything in their power to resist the samurai who oppose us until you officially become a shogun and stabilize the situation in Wano Country."
"Babbel will serve as your personal bodyguard; he will shield you from any enemies attempting to assassinate you!"
Orochi, unsuspecting, thought, "Oh! This guy is so tall, he must be a very powerful samurai!"
"Babel Taro, this will be your name from now on."
"Your salary, huh?"
Kurozumi Orochi walked for a while.
"Let's set it at 5 gold medals per month!"
Babel pursed his lips but did not refute: "General Orochi, let's leave quickly, I haven't eaten for three days."
"If you keep starving, you'll be meeting your ancestors sooner than expected."
"Oh, right, right! Let's use the cicada's song to inform the chefs of the Great Serpent City and have them prepare a delicious meal for Babel Taro!"
Looking at the purple-haired man striding ahead and the obsequious black-haired Muchan, Babel shook his head.
"Bazaar, you were right after all."
"This guy~~"
"He's not intellectually sound."
Meanwhile, in the southwest of the Flower Capital.
[Udon District, on the edge of a formidable fortress.]
Bazel, along with Kaido, Davego, and their companions, bypassed the patrolling samurai.
"Bazaar, why did you bring me to this place?!"
Kaido said with dissatisfaction:
"I came here to experience combat and have fun, not to play a puzzle game with you!"
"Cool?"
Bazel looked at him strangely.
"Kaido-san, you don't actually believe that Wano Country, located at the end of the New World, has powerful individuals as strong as Elbaf, do you?"
Kaido raised his head, his expression arrogant: "What else?"
After a few spits, under Bazel's gaze that regarded him as a rare beast, Kaido finally lost his temper and became enraged.
"I'm the captain!"
"Now I'm going to give the captain's orders—...uhhhhh!!"
Bazel shoved a banana, peel and all, into Kaido's mouth, and said irritably:
"Kaido-san, can't you be a little more mature? You're the captain of the Beasts Pirates!"
Kaido chewed on a banana and muttered, "You still remember I'm the captain. This banana tastes pretty good~"
"Sea stone, this area hides sea stone veins that we can't even imagine."
A gentle breeze occasionally brushed past his ears, and Bazel frequently changed his route.
Until the group walked into the depths of the mountains where no one could be seen.
"We're here, this is it."
The group stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the small but bustling quarry below.
"here it is-"
Kaido activated his Observation Haki, and after a brief moment of sensing, the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up.
"So this is the place. I misunderstood you, Bazel."
"This matter is indeed more important than anything else!"
"King of Ganqiao,"
Bazel looked at the noisy little people behind him.
Not all the Tontatta people disembarked with them this time.
With the situation still undecided, most of the dwarves remained aboard the Beast.
Only combat personnel like Rambo and Bian disembarked with the troops.
"Could you please send the fastest member of the Dontata clan to the quarry below?"
"I collected some pebbles without being discovered by them. I want to know if this is really a sea stone mining site."
"no problem!"
At Ganqiao's command, Bian and Bamba set off with several men.
It burrowed deep into the grass at an extremely high speed.
Less than an hour later, when the little people returned, they were carrying dark stones on their backs, each the same size as themselves.
"Bazel, is this the stone you wanted? We went all the way into the mine to find it!"
"Hard."
The two exchanged a glance, and Bazel knew that Kaido definitely understood what he meant.
Currently, only the two of them in the team are ability users.
Distinguishing whether it is sea stone or not is very simple.
It's enough for them, as people with special abilities, to touch it themselves.
The two sat down and simultaneously accepted the stones offered by the dwarf.
The moment my skin touched the stone, a feeling of powerlessness arose spontaneously.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!!!"
Clenching the stone tightly, Kaido burst into laughter!
"That's right, this is seastone!!"
"Davgo!"
"Captain Kaido!!"
"Have your men prepare for the attack. I'll personally oversee the operation. This place must be brought under my control!"
"I'm going to have this vein of ore mixed with seastone!"
