Chapter 166

"Must win!"

Chapter 241 Just Cause and Kindness

The country of Wano, the capital of flowers.

"That's unreasonable!"

"It's too much!"

Accompanied by angry curses, a short middle-aged man threw the information scroll in his hand to the ground and stepped on it several times to vent his frustration and anger.

This middle-aged man has all the physical characteristics of a Wano man. He is short, ugly, and wretched. His head is like a big taro, his face is slightly square, and his bald head is shaped like the Mediterranean Sea. He wears a crown to cover up his embarrassment. One side of his hair was tied in a bun, and there were sparse short purple hair on both sides of his head. His beard was slightly upturned. When he opened his mouth, a row of uneven teeth could be clearly seen.

He wears a wide yellow kimono, which highlights his bloated figure. There are many black crescent-shaped five-pointed patterns on the kimono, which is the emblem of the Kurotan clan. He wears a patterned black cloak on his back.

If someone is unaware, just by seeing the face and clothes of this middle-aged man, even the dogs in the village may not pay attention to him, thinking that this guy is a poor bachelor who can't even afford a woman.

But reality is often so unreasonable. This middle-aged man is actually the black charcoal snake that is flourishing in Wano Country!

In the land of Wano, which is one-third of an acre, leaving aside the Beast Pirates, the black charcoal snake only needs to stamp its foot to make the entire Wano country tremble.

The black charcoal snake was extremely angry. The beard on his lips twitched and curled up. He suddenly turned his head to look at the Kuangshi Lang who was prone on the ground. There was a hint of chill in his voice as he said:

"Crazy Death Master, if I order you to go to Oden Castle immediately to assassinate the old immortal Kozuki Sukiyaki, how sure are you?"

Kuangshilang raised his head slightly, glanced at the information scroll lying on the ground from the corner of his eye, and inadvertently twitched the corner of his mouth.

In this information scroll, it is recorded that Kozuki Sukiyaki led the rebel army to capture Oden Castle and announced that the Kuri area was seceded from the rule of Wano Country.

It's no wonder that the black charcoal snake is so angry.

"Report to the general."

After thinking about it for a while, Kuangshilang had a plan in his mind and said:

"According to the information that I previously went to Nogarisa Village to investigate, all of them show that the Shura General is standing behind Kozuki Sukiyaki. It is easy to kill a Kozuki Sukiyaki, but offending that Shura General, It will cause terrible consequences, and unless Lord Kaido takes action, we will simply not be able to bear the consequences." Kanshu La

Hearing this, the black charcoal snake's face turned dark.

If Kaido of the Hundred Beasts could be invited to take action, he wouldn't be so helpless and furious here.

Recently, the revolutionary army has been causing trouble in the Hakumai area in the southeastern corner of Wano and on the surrounding islands within the influence of the Hyakushou Pirates. It is said that even the leader of the revolutionary army, Ryu, has arrived to fight with Hyakushou Kai. Have fought many times.

If this were not the case, Kaido of the Beasts would not be afraid of General Shura and let him create a rebel army in Wano Country. It is true that the Beasts Pirates are now stretched thin and cannot get out for a while.

Black Carbon Orochi himself is a piece of shit. It's okay to let him engage in some shady conspiracies behind the scenes, but if he is asked to solve difficult problems, his true colors will be revealed all of a sudden.

He sat down on the tatami, showing no dignity or image as a general, and said:

"Crazy Death Man, you are the smartest person around me. I have always admired you. If you have any countermeasures, please tell me in detail."

Kuangshilang secretly sneered in his heart, his half-narrowed eyes revealed a bit of cunning like a fox, and said:

"Reporting back to the general, since the Shura general did not take action directly, but supported Kozuki Sukiyaki as a spokesperson, he obviously had some scruples and was unwilling to directly break up with Lord Kaidou. Now Lord Kaidou is because of the revolution. The military issue involves a lot of manpower and material resources, but with our people alone, which rebel army does the general think we can have a chance of defeating?"

"There's no chance of winning."

The black charcoal snake had a dull look on his face, it was obvious that his family knew about his affairs.

The entire country of Wano was almost hollowed out by him. All of his subordinates were talented and well-spoken, but none of them knew how to do serious work. Instead, there were many people who boasted about flattering him, so Kuangshilang was the only one who had some abilities.

This group of sensual and sensual men have long been drained of their bodies by wine and sex. They are sent to the battlefield without their legs weakening and they are laughing. If another one of them defectes on the battlefield and rebels against the rebels, then they will really become What a big joke.

"In this case, it means death anyway. Why don't the general decentralize the power in his hands and allow the noble families and powerful people in other regions to form guards?"

Kuangshi Lang said with a hint of cruelty in his smile:

"In order to protect their own lives and wealth, these aristocratic families and powerful people will definitely respond to the general's call and spend a lot of manpower and material resources to form guards, so that they can effectively block the progress of the rebel army and delay their arrival in the Flower Capital."

"As long as we can delay Lord Kaido to deal with the revolutionary army's thorny disease, and wait for the new force of the Beast Pirates to arrive, we will naturally be able to change the offensive and defensive situation and turn the situation around!"

Hearing this, the black charcoal snake's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh suddenly.

"This is a good idea, just do what you say!"

The Kuangshi Lang retreated slowly, with a sneer on his lips.

Anyone who is familiar with history knows that once a local government takes control of military power, very bad things will happen.

The smart and crazy Shilang understands this even more. Although he did not join Yang Ming, after learning about the existence of Kozuki Sukiyaki, he is now in Cao's camp and his heart is with Han, secretly playing a beautiful assist for the rebels.

Jiuli area, Oden City.

The black Oden Castle and the surrounding snow-capped mountains form an interesting contrast. Now it is just in time for the clear sunset in winter. The ebony-made Oden Castle glows with golden light in the last direct light, and the cold snow-capped mountains in the distance. The clouds and mists are relatively symmetrical, showing a bit of beauty.

After the rebel army took over the management of Oden City, everything was changing in an orderly manner.

According to Yang Ming's instructions, as soon as Kozuki Sukiyaki entered Oden Castle, he arranged for the rebel army to thoroughly investigate those who were not rich and unkind, those who oppressed the people, those who committed crimes, and those who committed many evil deeds, as well as thoroughly investigated the ownership of the land. , property ownership, after a thorough investigation is completed, arrest those who should be arrested, kill those who should be killed, and highlight a decisive killing.

Yang Ming was walking on the wide road of Yutian City. Xiaoyu held Yang Ming's hand and held the balloon string tightly with her other free hand.

The roads seemed a little deserted, and pedestrians could occasionally be seen passing by. Most of the people were obviously wary of the arrival of the rebels, even if the leader of the rebels was the former Wano General Kozuki Sukiyaki. These people were conservative and xenophobic at heart. The common people also had doubts and did not dare to fully trust the rebels.

If someone else had been the leader of the rebel army, no one would have dared to take to the streets.

From time to time, rebel troops rushed into a mansion, accompanied by the sound of fighting and the screams of ghosts and wolf howls, and escorted an upper-class man wearing luxurious clothes to a prison car.

These people are all confirmed criminals. They use their power and status to crazily exploit the people at the bottom. But until their hands are shackled and they are imprisoned in a prison van, these people still do not want to repent. Instead, they shout "unjust" loudly.

Hearing the commotion outside, the curious people quietly opened the windows and looked around from inside the house. When they saw the evildoers who once rode on the heads of the people fell to where they are now, it was like drinking a bowl of evil in the scorching summer heat. Sour plum soup makes my whole body feel refreshed.

Some people even hated this group of rich and unkind people from the bottom of their hearts. They took rotten eggs and bricks from their homes and smashed them in the face when the prison van passed by their door.

"Kill you bastards!"

"If it weren't for you, my family wouldn't have starved to death!"

"The rebels did a great job. I have long disliked these grandsons!"

If some people take the lead, others will follow.

People who originally had doubts about the rebels suddenly felt the same hatred when they saw this scene. They took to the streets one after another, using everything available around them as hidden weapons, and attacked the criminals in the prison van.

For a moment, the criminals in the prison van were beaten until their heads were bruised and bleeding.

Xiaoyu was young and kind-hearted. She couldn't bear to see such a thing. She subconsciously grabbed Yang Ming's hand and said:

"Brother, is this really good for those people? Isn't it a bit cruel?"

"cruel?"

Yang Ming paused for a moment and saw Xiaoyu's puzzled face. He knew that she had little experience and could only see things superficially and could not see the whole story. He did not blame her. Instead, he pointed at the crowd throwing things and asked:

"Look, what characteristics do they all have in common?"

Hearing this, Xiaoyu looked up.

The common people were dressed simply, with traces of mending on their bodies, which was in stark contrast to the luxurious clothing of the prisoners on the prison cars.

In addition, the bodies of the common people are not intact. Some people have broken arms and legs. They were all broken by rogues raised by sinners.

If we talk about cruelty, these sinners are even more cruel.

However, when these sinners do cruel things, they are invisible to people, so they cannot intuitively feel this cruelty and sin.

These people and things are not only the tip of the iceberg in Wano, but also the tip of the iceberg in this world.

"When people are hurt, they will hold grudges. On the contrary, when they hurt others, they will be hated and tortured by guilt. However, it is precisely because of understanding this pain that people will become kinder. , this is what humans are.”

Listening to Yang Ming's words, Xiaoyu nodded in understanding.

In her sight, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the handsome young man in front of her, as if he had been covered with a rosy coat, showing a different color in the gradually dimming sky.

Chapter 242 Bucky the Clown: Please call me Brother Daxiu

Let the innocent be innocent and the guilty receive a fair trial.

This is not only the standard for the behavior of the rebel army, but also Yang Ming's code of conduct.

As the ancients said, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

In order to reassure the people, the rebel army escorted the captured criminals to the vegetable market, read out the numerous evil consequences these criminals had committed in front of countless people, and sentenced them to death on the spot.

Suddenly, the head fell to the ground.

Xiaoyu accompanied Yang Ming. At first, she felt uncomfortable and even a little disgusting. But when she saw the expressions of revenge on other people's faces, she seemed to recall the days when she was hungry and worshiped these long-dead people. Gifted by aristocratic families.

If it weren't for the cruel exploitation of these aristocratic families, how could they have lived in such a humble and miserable life?

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for saying a classic line from Naruto and getting a chance to draw a lottery. Do you want to start the lottery roulette?"

Yang Ming's attention fell on the lottery roulette wheel that was invisible to others.

Summon characters: Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi...

Ninjutsu/Taijutsu: Fireball Jutsu, Water Dragon Jutsu, Dark Walking Technique...

Limitations of Blood Succession: Ice Escape, Magnetic Escape, Melt Escape, Explosion Escape...

[Art of Transformation]: Can transform into anything. Once encountering a powerful blow, the transformation effect will be released.

Yang Ming withdrew his gaze from the lottery wheel. He saw that the rebel army behaved in a well-behaved manner and no one took advantage of it. He nodded secretly in his heart. It seemed that although Kozuki Sukiyaki was old, he was also quite rigorous in running the army. Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

Compared to this, both Binz and Xiuen seemed immature. They were placed among the rebels, just so they could learn from Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Yang Ming's goal has never been limited to Wazhi Country, but has focused on the entire world. As his power gradually expands in the future, he will inevitably be stretched thin. He can take advantage of this time to cultivate more of his trusted generals. , only then can he confidently and boldly send them out to take charge alone.

The situation in the country of Wano is changing and unpredictable.

As General Kurotan Orochi of Wano Country promulgated a series of new policies, powerful families in the four major regions of Nozomi, Usagi Bowl, Suzuo, and Shiromai responded to the call one after another. The rich contributed money and some provided people, and one after another they formed a group. A guard force to resist the revolutionary and insurrectionary armies.

Among them, some characters are particularly representative.

In the Rabbit Bowl area, Dazheng, known as "Blood Letters", organized a guard of more than 200 people.

In the Hakumai area, Tsunagoro, known as "Pokaisa", formed a ronin organization with a hundred members.

In the Suzuo area, Adie, known as "Xi Yan", formed a team of dozens of enchantresses.

In the Nozomi region, Yatabei, known as "Snake Eyes", formed a samurai army of one hundred men.

Anyone who is familiar with the situation in Wano knows that these four figures are the leaders of the local underground world. They are also the white gloves of the aristocratic families. They specialize in doing dirty work for the aristocratic families to plunder the wealth of the people and make money wantonly. .

Now, they are just taking advantage of the new policy promulgated by the Black Carbon Serpent to move from covertly to the surface.

If the rebel army wants to march eastward and directly take the Flower Capital, they must pass through the two major areas of Ximei or Tuwan.

In addition to being blocked by the guards of the "Blood Letters" Da Zheng No. 100 in the Rabbit Bowl area, there is also a huge quarry there, where people who resisted the rule of the Beast Pirates and Black Carbon Orochi are imprisoned. If the rebels force their way from here If passed, there will inevitably be serious attrition.

For this reason, Yang Ming had already ordered Bucky, the clown who was undercover in the Beast Pirates, to take action and lead a group of Beast Pirates members to exterminate the prisoners in the quarry.

As for the Ximei area, it is vast and sparsely populated, and large areas of land are deserted. It is difficult to obtain supplies on the march, and it is also a difficult and dangerous route.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

While the rebel army was in full swing in Oden City to start fighting landlords, Bucky the Clown was marching five to six men, with a group of younger brothers behind him, and excitedly rushed to the quarry in the Rabbit Bowl area.

As early as after they parted ways in the Capital of Seven Waters, Bucky the Clown, under Yang Ming's secret instruction, successfully went undercover in the Beast Pirates, and after more than a year, he gained the trust of Kaido the Beast. , now replaces Peggy Wan, who was imprisoned by Yang Ming, and becomes the new Fei Liubao.

Behind Bucky the Clown was followed by a group of younger men. Among them, the two with the most obvious appearance were undoubtedly the two in the front row. Not only were they extremely huge, but they also looked fierce.

The person on the left is as tall as a female giant, wearing cool clothes with two points and one line, revealing a large area of ​​fair skin. She has the number 9 on her body. She is one of the Nine Ninjas among the numbered people. As for the specific name, no one knows her name.

There is a person on the right who looks like a humanoid wild boar. There are two pairs of horns hooked outwards on the top of his head. Yellow hair like steel needles runs all the way down the spine of the back. The back is arched high and the corners of the mouth are grinning. Revealing rows of fangs and sharp teeth, hook-like claws shot out from the tips of his ten fingers, flashing with a cold light, he was one of the ten ghosts among the numbered ones, and his fighting style was extremely cruel.

In the Beast Pirates, there is a very clear hierarchy of superiority and inferiority.

The governor, the big billboard, Fei Liubao, Zhenda, the assigner, the numberer, and other personnel all have clear functional plans for each other and are responsible for different matters.

In addition to the nine ninjas and ten ghosts, Buggy the Clown also brought more than 500 pirates behind him.

In the first half of the Grand Line, more than five hundred pirates were enough to form a medium-sized pirate group, but among the Beasts Pirates, they were only the size of a small team.

Clown Bucky has been lurking in the Beast Pirates for more than a year, and has already figured out that the number of Beast Pirates is in the tens of thousands. If there is a protracted war, Kaido of Beasts can even dominate the territory. Capture strong men and forcibly fill the personnel gaps.

This is the huge difference in strength between pirates with territory and pirates without territory.

Pirates who have no territory usually have to hide in order to avoid being arrested by the navy and wander aimlessly on the sea. In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, they need to save money and ensure adequate food supply for all members as much as possible.

But the pirates who own the territory don't need to worry about these things at all, and even the worries of personnel supply are eliminated, and they can use their fists to their heart's content.

Recalling the information about the Beast Pirates in his mind, Bucky the Clown's admiration for Yang Ming was like a torrent of water.
