Though Kurozumi Orochi was a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user, Shin had no intention of copying his ability. The Mythical Zoan: Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit was not weak—but Shin found it disgusting. He wouldn’t want the ability even if it were given to him for free.
The main island of Wano was divided into six regions: Kuri, Kibi, Udon, Ringo, Hakumai, and the Flower Capital.
Shin and his group were currently in Kuri, which had once been Kozuki Oden’s domain.
The supreme ruler of Wano was the shogun, followed by the daimyos of the six regions. This place was originally Kozuki Oden’s territory, but since Oden was dead, it had naturally been taken over by Kurozumi Orochi.
However, Kurozumi Orochi wasn’t here. He was in the Flower Capital, the most prosperous place in Wano, where the ruler resided.
————
“Let’s go to the Flower Capital.”
Shin had originally planned to leave, but now he had changed his mind. He was going to the Flower Capital to eliminate Kurozumi Orochi.
“Going to the Flower Capital… are you planning to deal with the Shogun of Wano, Kurozumi Orochi?” Olvia was very smart and guessed it right away.
“Yes. And to see if Kaido is still here.” Shin wanted to see Kaido.
Kaido should be injured now, wounded by Kozuki Oden, leaving him with two permanent scars.
The current Kaido’s strength was at least on par with an Admiral. Even Sengoku might not be able to defeat the current Kaido… This showed how strong Kozuki Oden was.
If Kozuki Oden were alive, the title of “World’s Strongest Swordsman” would not have fallen to Mihawk.
————
It didn’t take long to get from Kuri to the Flower Capital. Shin had basically killed his way there.
There was no other choice. Kurozumi Orochi’s men were too numerous, and they were all hostile towards Shin and his group.
Shin was traveling with three beautiful women; it was inevitable that they would be targeted. Olvia was a great beauty herself.
Then there was Hancock. Though she was still young, after eating the Love-Love Fruit, even Olvia couldn’t compare to the still-tender Hancock in terms of charm.
Finally, there was Robin. Though Robin was even younger, she was also very beautiful and delicate. A future great beauty for sure.
Kurozumi Orochi was fond of wine and women, so his men had ill intentions, wanting to capture Olvia, Hancock, and Robin to please him.
————
“So this is the Flower Capital. It’s quite prosperous indeed.” Shin looked around. He even saw many brothels. It was truly a place of indulgence.
“Shin-nii, don’t look at those lowly women.”
Hancock directly covered Shin’s eyes.
“Ahem, Hancock, I actually think these people are having a hard time. They need some care,” Shin coughed twice, then said seriously to Hancock.
“So, that’s your reason for wanting to visit a brothel?” Olvia asked Shin with a straight face.
“Hey, Olvia, don’t take me for that kind of man.” Shin shook his head.
“Let’s go to the shogun’s residence.”
Shin asked around and quickly found out where Kurozumi Orochi’s shogun residence was. After all, the shogun’s residence was the most famous place in the Flower Capital.
The Shogun of this country lived there. Though Kurozumi Orochi’s position as shogun was not legitimate, he was indeed the one in power now.
————
Arriving at the shogun’s residence, Shin wasn’t well-mannered.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The gate of the shogun’s residence was directly blasted open by Shin using lightning. Then Shin walked in with Olvia and the others.
“Who has the nerve to cause trouble at the shogun’s residence?”
“<Myriad Thunder!>”
Shin waved his hand, creating a thundercloud. Then, a furious thunder descended, instantly shattering the entire shogun’s residence.
“Bastard!”
Soon, the furious Kurozumi Orochi rushed out. Beside Kurozumi Orochi was Kurozumi Semimaru, a Barrier-Barrier Fruit user, an old man on the verge of death.
Kurozumi Orochi was fine because this old man’s Barrier-Barrier Fruit had blocked the attack.
And here, Shin also saw Kaido.
————
Kaido looked like he was watching a show, with no intention of interfering.
“Who are you?” Kurozumi Orochi asked Shin angrily.
“Oh, my name is Shin Uzumaki.” Shin said with a smile.
No one here really recognized Shin.
In the sea, he was indeed very famous, but this was Wano Country, which didn’t communicate with the outside world at all.
Kaido didn’t recognize Shin either, because recently Kaido had been staying in Wano Country.
“No matter who you are, if you have the audacity to step into our domain and stir conflict, you will die.”
“Haha, you want me to die? You’ve got a big mouth.” Shin asked Kurozumi Orochi with an amused look.
“<Lightning Release: Kirin!>”
Shin gestured with his hand, and the thundercloud in the sky gathered into a terrifying beast, swooping down from the sky.
“Be careful!”
Kurozumi Semimaru was loyal to his master. He flew up and used his Barrier-Barrier Fruit ability to defend. But in an instant, the barrier was completely shattered.
Then Kurozumi Semimaru was gone with the wind, his body not even leaving a speck of dust under the terrifying lightning.
“He was too fragile. Let’s see if you’re any different.” Shin showed Kurozumi Orochi a smile and asked.
“….”
“Have I done something to anger you?” Kurozumi Orochi’s heart was filled with anger, but being cunning and treacherous, he didn’t want to act rashly.
“You haven’t. But that doesn’t mean your subordinates are in the clear.”
Shin’s smile disappeared, his tone calm as he spoke to Kurozumi Orochi.
Kurozumi Orochi was furious. He saw that Shin Uzumaki was just looking for trouble. Just after getting rid of the threat of Kozuki Oden, another one came.
Kurozumi Orochi glanced at Kaido. Kaido didn’t seem to have any intention of interfering.
Yes, helping Kurozumi Orochi deal with Kozuki Oden was to get some information from Oden. After all, Kozuki Oden was someone who had reached the final island with Roger.
But this person before them was entirely Kurozumi Orochi’s own enemy—he had no need to interfere.
