Chapter 575: Secrets of Wano Country
Being targeted?
Ace couldn't help but get anxious. He quickly asked, "Boss lady, what do you mean? Who is targeting Xiaoyu?"
"Hey." Xiao He explained: "Xiao Yu was so hungry that she swallowed a devil fruit by mistake. Now those people seem to be attracted by Xiao Yu's ability..."
Luffy blinked and asked curiously, "Xiaoyu, are you a devil fruit user? What is your ability?"
Xiaoyu replied: "I'm not sure, anyway, ever since I accidentally ate a strange fruit, I can squeeze out a small ball on my cheek..."
Luffy immediately asked, "Chibi Maruko-chan? Can I eat it?"
"No!" Xiaoyu half-knowingly made a small white ball on her cheek and explained, "This can't be used to satisfy hunger, but as long as animals eat it, they will listen to me."
Luo asked, "Is that the lion dog outside like this?"
"Hmm..." Xiaoyu reacted and immediately corrected herself: "Its name is Komachiyo!"
"Sugena-chan, that seems to be a very good ability." Luffy praised with shining eyes.
Ace touched his chin and said, "So, Xiaoyu is very unsafe now..."
Lin Hai stepped forward and said, "That's not the point. Xiaoyu lives in a forest on Jiuli Beach, which is quite far from here. We rushed all the way from there to here. How did those people know Xiaoyu's whereabouts?"
Sauron narrowed his eyes and asked, "Lin Hai, are you sure you have cleared out all the people who are tracking you?"
Lin Hai replied confidently: "It has indeed been cleaned up...By the way, do you feel that we were a little too relaxed when we entered here?"
Ace was shocked, "You mean..."
Luo asked, "When you entered Wano Country, didn't your whereabouts get exposed?"
“Ha!” Lin Hai patted Luo’s shoulder and said with a smile: “One accident doesn’t mean anything. Multiple accidents together are no longer accidents. Do you remember the guy named Kanjuro that I mentioned before?”
Zoro said: "Now that I think about it, that guy seems to be really problematic, but how did he reveal our whereabouts?"
Lin Hai replied: "There is no evidence at the moment, but one thing is certain, that guy has been hiding his abilities!"
Luo said, "Hey, hey, it's not a good idea for us to just keep guessing here, right? Besides, that guy is in cahoots with Kin'emon and the others. We might end up fighting among ourselves before they even start to make a move. That won't do!"
After chatting for a while and everyone had an idea in their minds, they rushed to Oden's ruins.
During the conversation, Kiku, who was standing nearby, was shocked when she heard the word "Kinemon". She was also a little worried about letting a group of strangers go to the former site of the Kozuki family, so she followed everyone.
...............
After walking for a while, they climbed a rugged mountain. When they arrived in front of a dilapidated house, they saw tombstones erected on one side.
Those tombstones belong to the Kozuki family and its retainers, even Kin'emon's tombstone is among them.
When Luffy, Zoro and others saw that, they couldn't help but gasp, and their first reaction was "What the hell!"
"Master Straw Hat, you're surprised, right?" Luo asked softly.
Ace swallowed and asked, "Are there really ghosts in this world?"
"I was also shocked when I saw these things." After saying that, Luo shook his head, looked at the dilapidated house and said, "Let the real owner explain these doubts to everyone."
“Tap tap…”
A figure walked out from the bushes. Who else could it be if not Kin'emon and his gang?
Lin Hai sweatdropped, pointed at the tombstone and asked, "I wonder if you have any hobbies? It's unlucky to build a tombstone for yourself while you're still alive!"
"Ahem." Kin'emon also felt that this was indeed the case, but he still said, "Everyone, go inside first, and I'll explain to you why this strange phenomenon occurred!"
Luo looked at his crew and saw that some of them were missing, so he asked, "Where are Bepo and the others?"
Luffy: "Is that bear here too?"
"Captain, I'm here..."
"Grumbling…"
Luo immediately complained: "You idiots, I told you not to eat random food..."
I saw a group of people in the grass who had stomach upsets because they had eaten poisonous food.
After the farce, Nami and her companions also came here after being notified by Luo's companions.
Afterwards, Kin'emon told everyone some secrets of the past...
It turns out that Wano Country was governed by the Kozuki family more than 20 years ago. Among them were the Shimotsuki family, the Kurozumi family, the Amatsuki family, the Fugetsu family, and the Ugetsuki family. These five families assisted the Kozuki family together...
Afterwards, the Kurozumi family's rebellion and attempt to overthrow the Wano Country were exposed, so they were expelled.
The Shogun of Wano Country at that time had no children. Kozuki Oden was the most popular candidate for successor, so everyone agreed that he should be the Shogun of Wano Country.
Unexpectedly, Oden is a freedom-loving person, a possessor of three colors of Haki and the ability to hear everything. After serving for a period of time, he chose to leave Wano Country to see the outside world.
Out of kindness in his nature, Oden spared and rescued Kurozumi Orochi, but unexpectedly, Kurozumi Orochi was not grateful at all and he intended to destroy Wano Country.
After Kozuki Oden left Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi, with the support of unknown forces, finally succeeded in ascending to power until now.
After leaving Wano Country, Oden met the Whitebeard Pirates by chance. He was impressed by Whitebeard's charm and joined his pirate group as the captain of the second team.
During a voyage, the Whitebeard Pirates encountered the Roger Pirates. The two sides fought on an island for three days and three nights, and finally ended in a draw...
By chance, Roger discovered that Oden could understand historical texts in ancient characters, so Roger shamelessly asked Whitebeard to borrow Oden for a year to find the final island.
Oden was moved by Roger's sincerity, and as he had accomplished an unprecedented feat, he was so excited that he chose to join Roger's pirate group for one year.
A year later, Roger's pirate group finally found the final island and became the world's number one pirate group.
Due to some personal reasons, after becoming the Pirate King, Roger announced the disbanding of the Roger Pirates.
Afterwards, Oden returned to Wano Country, but when he came back, Wano Country was no longer the same as before. The general was actually Kurozumi Orochi, and behind him stood the top-notch Kaido Pirate Group!
If it were just like that it would be fine, but areas like Kuri used to be lush and green, but when I came back again, factories had been built there, and the black smoke rising into the sky was like a haze that was about to engulf the entire Wano Country!
The grass and trees withered, the animals mutated...
If left unchecked, Wano Country would surely be destroyed, so Oden launched a challenge.
After a battle, the forces led by the Kozuki family were suppressed and hunted down.
While on the run, Oden's wife used her time ability to send Kin'emon and several other retainers to twenty years later.
Therefore, there are tombstones of Kin'emon and others outside, and people are standing here alive.
After a while of narration, everyone couldn't help but sigh. Ace on the side couldn't help but muster up the courage to ask: "Kinemon, can you tell me what kind of person Roger is? Why did he choose to disband the pirate group after becoming the Pirate King!"
"Ace..." Luffy's heart tightened and he looked at him worriedly.
Kin'emon had heard some rumors during his time overseas, so he replied, "I have never been with Roger, but I have learned a little from Lord Oden's notes."
Ace swallowed and asked, "Can you tell me about it?"
"Oh, of course!" Kin'emon replied immediately.
