Chapter 20 The Seven-Day Restoration of Wano Country
Less than a day after the Luo Ji Pirates happily left the Wano Country waters.
The Beasts Pirates' grand expeditionary force has returned in a mighty force!
Kaido of the Beasts and King of the Wildfire, who possess the ability to fly, were the first to return to Wano Country.
A few days ago, the Shogunate of Wano Country, with the support of various daimyo, organized a massive army of 20,000 men.
After suffering thousands of casualties, they successfully captured Onigashima.
Meanwhile, nearly 10,000 members of the Beast Corps remained to guard Oni Island and the Udon Mine.
After the mine riot led by the Luo Ji Pirates and Fire Fist Ace, several thousand people were lost and many true fighters were defeated.
When Wano Country attacked with 20,000 troops, they only had six or seven thousand men.
Moreover, the Wano Country army also has powerful swordsmen like Ashura Doji and Denjiro.
Taking advantage of Onigashima's terrain, the Beast Pirates only resisted for two days before being captured, and a large number of Beast Pirates were slaughtered.
Even Hiyori Kozuki believed that they had completely restored the rule of Wano Country.
But Ashura Doji and the others knew all too well how terrifying Kaido of the Beasts was.
They quickly cleaned up the battlefield on Onigashima, plundered the wealth of the Beast Pirates, and returned to the Flower Capital.
They held several battle councils to deal with Kaido of the Beasts.
Ultimately, it was discovered that the situation was still far from optimistic!
Kawamatsu suggested seeking help from Nekomamushi and Inuarashi on Zou Island, and asking the Mink Tribe, Wano Country's only ally, to send a group of powerful warriors.
Incidentally, let Nekomamushi and Inuarashi rejoin the Nine Red Scabbards.
Hiyori Kozuki still doesn't seem to be enough to deal with Kaido of the Beasts.
She also wanted to ask Whitebeard for help, after all, she and Momonosuke were both born on the Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates, and had some kinship with Whitebeard, a powerful figure.
When Kozuki Oden boarded Whitebeard's ship, Toki Azuki, Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and Izou followed suit.
Izo is still on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship.
"Daimyo Kawamatsu! Please go to Zou Island and find Nekomamushi and Inuarashi."
"Daimyo, protect me as I set sail to find Izo and the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Asura Daimyo and Shimotsuki Daimyo, you two are in charge of the overall situation in Wano Country. If you encounter Kaido of the Beasts, you don't need to fight head-on. You just need to hide and fight a guerrilla war."
Kozuki Hiyori made the final decision; everything would have gone so smoothly had the uprising to restore the nation not come so suddenly.
She really wanted to wait for Momonosuke and the others to return so they could start something big again.
They were also caught in a dilemma, with no choice but to act.
Taking advantage of the Beasts Pirates' absence for a few days, they successfully overthrew Orochi's rule.
This does seem a bit unreal.
···
However, just as they had finalized their plan, several ninjas rushed in in fear.
"Lord Hiyori! Kaido... Kaido is back!!"
Just as these intelligence ninjas finished reporting the situation, a terrifying aura, like that of a demon from hell, descended from the sky.
"Oh no! Run!!"
Shimotsuki Yasuie shouted in surprise, he hadn't expected Kaido of the Beasts to return so quickly.
Their intelligence personnel at the port didn't even inform them of the arrival of the Beast Fleet.
"Kaido must have flown back ahead of time!"
"You all need to leave according to plan. We'll take care of Wano Country!"
Ashura Doji immediately drew his sword and charged out, ready to lead his army in a fierce battle against Kaido of the Beasts.
"Uncle Ashura!!"
Hiyori Kozuki cried out in worry, knowing that this uprising to restore the nation was likely to fail again.
"Denjiro, quickly take Princess Hiyori and leave!"
"Kawamatsu, you leave too!"
"The future of Wano Country is in your hands!"
Shimotsuki Yasuie gave his solemn instructions, and then led his warriors out to fight their way out.
He wanted to buy more time for Hiyori and the others to escape.
Several underworld bosses also expressed their willingness to serve the Kozuki family with great enthusiasm.
Only Fukurokuju, the opportunist among the Oniwabanshu, had a glint in his eye, seemingly considering something.
Everyone in the general's mansion sprang into action.
Kaido's sudden return disrupted many of their plans.
But they had no regrets, because they truly restored the rule of the Kozuki family and killed thousands upon thousands of members of the Beasts Pirates.
They have released a great deal of the hatred that they have suppressed for more than a decade.
"Damn Oden's remnants! You killed Orochi and destroyed my Onigashima! I'll make you all die!"
With Kaido's furious roar, a massive burst of fiery heat shot straight toward the Shogun's mansion in Wano Country.
"Oden Two-Sword Style: Togen Ten-Fist Technique!"
"Kaido!!"
Ashura Child angrily charged at the Azure Dragon in the sky.
"I remember you, Ashura Child. I'll give you a chance to join my ranks!"
Kaido of the Beasts saw the swordsman cleave through his heat breath and knew that this guy had some strength, so he thought about recruiting him.
"roll!"
Ashura Doji continued his attack on Kaido, but was kicked away by a dark figure.
"You are not worthy to fight our king!"
The cold voice of King of Flames rang out. He had defeated Ashura Doji more than a decade ago, and now it would be even easier for him to defeat Ashura Doji.
···
Under the terrifying suppression of Kaido of the Beasts and King the Wildfire
This rebellion to restore the kingdom was completely crushed, with a large number of samurai and ninja dying, the death toll reaching nearly five thousand.
Of the five yakuza leaders of the Udon gang, three died, and Ashura Doji was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but Kaido spared his life and imprisoned him.
Shimotsuki Yasuie escaped again and went into hiding, continuing to lead the remaining rebel army for the restoration of the country.
Hiyori Kozuki, Denjiro, and Kawamatsu have disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown.
Fukurokuju bounced repeatedly and surrendered to Kaido of the Beasts.
In order to stabilize the situation in Wano Country, the weapons factory and sea stone mine should continue to operate.
Kaido of the Beasts chose the tallest among the short, appointing Fukurokuju as acting shogun to oversee Wano Country's affairs and provide the Beasts Pirates with a continuous supply of workers and miners.
Fu Lu Shou excitedly accepted the appointment.
He never imagined in his life that he, a ninja leader, could rise to the position of general in one fell swoop.
This is truly a blessing from our ancestors!
Not long after, the entire expeditionary force of the Beasts Pirates returned to Onigashima.
Seeing the devastation on Onigashima and the numerous dead pirates enraged the Three Disasters and the Six Brothers.
From that day onward, the Beasts Pirates imposed an even more oppressive and brutal rule on the entire Wano Country, ushering in a true hellish era.
This uprising to restore the country was known in Wano Country as the 'Seven-Day Restoration'.
It signifies that Wano Country has entered an even darker era.
Most of the lower-class citizens even hated the Kozuki family, who had caused a lot of trouble and then completely disappeared.
They made the living conditions in Wano Country even worse.
Because the Beasts Pirates' remaining forces were wiped out, resulting in a 50% reduction in their numbers, Kaido of the Beasts Pirates was furious for months.
Since he founded the Beasts Pirates, he has never experienced such a huge loss.
He ordered a full-scale manhunt for Kozuki Hijikata and the other fugitives.
Fire Fist Ace and Luo Ji were also added to his revenge list.
But now that Oni Island has suffered heavy losses, they can only lick their wounds, restore their troops and buildings, and get the weapons factory and sea stone mine running again.
