Chapter 187 Frosty Moon Beef Pills

Chapter 187 Frosty Moon Beef Pills

"Tian Yue Shi, the last member of the Tian Yue clan."

"I heard that the Tianyue Clan perished during a power transition, but I don't know the specifics of what happened."

"But I know one thing: not long after, an anomaly appeared among the nobles of Wano Country."

Frost Moon Beef Ball's expression suddenly turned gloomy:

"You mean Kurozumi, right? I can't even remember when that clan started being called one of the five great families of Wano Country."

“That’s right, it’s that charcoal guy,” Bazel pointed to his shoulder blade, then turned to his own words, “Do you recognize this tattoo?”

Shimotsuki Gyuumaru looked at her from the side.

A bull horn and skull pattern is printed on the man's skin.

"What is this? Is it the symbol of some faction?"

"We are the Beasts Pirates. We came to Wano Country from overseas at the invitation of Kurozumi Higurashi to help the Kurozumi clan consolidate their power."

Shimotsuki Gyuumaru's gaze was fixed on the man's profile:

"What are you trying to say? Are you trying to make us fight amongst ourselves so you can reap the benefits?"

"No, no, no, you've misunderstood. I'm just giving you a choice."

Barzel raised two fingers.

"First, if you choose to resist stubbornly and ignore my invitation to form an alliance, the consequence will be that we help Orochi eliminate all those who dare to resist, and then take Wano Country by force."

"Second, if you choose to ally with me, Amezuki will become the new Shogun of Wano Country, and we beasts will leave this place after a few years of recuperation."

What's the difference between these two options?

Shuangyue Niuwan smiled disdainfully and said:

"Even if I choose the second option, those Tianyue clan members are still your people. In the end, it's still you who control this country."

"We look down on this rural place."

Bazel pointed bluntly to the sky.

"The reason we stayed here is to rest and recuperate to become stronger."

"One day we will leave, and we may never return, dying in some unknown corner."

"But a better outcome would be to be crowned king."

"We are pirates, free pirates, and we will never be bound by mere royal authority."

"Power will only jeopardize our future, so, Shimotsuki."

"Make a choice between the Kurozumi and Amatsuki families."

Bazel gazed at the snowflakes in the distance, his voice flat.

"I know it's hard for you to accept, but this is reality. I'm stronger than you, so I can treat you like chicken, duck, or fish to be kneaded at will."

"Don't talk to me about your bullshit Bushido spirit. I can tell you the truth."

"If you die, I will make someone else the daimyo of Ringo. He may be even worse than you imagine, and he may treat the people of this region in a more brutal way."

"Simply put, your death is worthless, and may even become the culprit that pushes Ringo into the abyss."

"On the contrary, if you are willing to live, you will still be the daimyo of Ringo."

"Ringo was like before, and she will only get better in the future, because Toki is a kind person."

Taking a photo out of his wallet, Bazel smiled slightly and proudly showed it off to Shimotsuki Ushimaru.

"What do you think? She's beautiful, isn't she? I believe she'll definitely become a qualified shogun of Wano Country."

"Are you sure you're not kidding when you say you're putting a woman in power?"

Shimotsuki Gyuumaru stared expressionlessly at the blue-haired woman in the photo, who was laughing and cuddling with a man.

"What's wrong with women in power?"

Bazel shook his head and carefully put the photo back into his meager wallet.

"Don't underestimate women, you bastard. Toki is a female general who is determined to lead Wano Country to the right future."

"As the person she loves, I will definitely fulfill her wish."

"In Wano Country, there will only be one voice, and that is Toki's voice."

Shimotsuki Ushimaru turned around and, mimicking Bazel, gazed at the snowy landscape.

"So, your sudden visit here is to persuade me to acknowledge that woman's legitimate identity?"

Bazel snapped his fingers: "That's right, Ashi is currently only the acting daimyo of Kuri-dai, bestowed by the general—"

"The daimyo of Kuri-dai!?"

Shimotsuki Ushimaru stared at Bazel in disbelief:

"I remember the daimyo of that place was Oden!?"

"Kozuki Oden? That selfish man who abandoned his people to go sailing and have fun?"

Upon hearing Bazel's words, even Shimotsuki Gyumaru, who had always admired Oden, was speechless.

Regardless of Oden's reasons for choosing to sail the seas, the fact that he abandoned his people to go to sea is something that cannot be excused.

"The acting general is just an acting general; what right does he have to change a dignified lord?!"

"Of course, it's because the former general, Kozuki Sukiyaki, was persecuted by them." Bazel said with amusement. "As for the acting general's last words, they weren't written by Kozuki Sukiyaki himself at all."

Have you ever heard of Devil Fruits?

Shuoyue Niuwan looked confused.

"Like this."

Bazel demonstrated his abilities.

Then, the power of Kurozumi Higurashi's Imitation Fruit was introduced.

"You mean, Kurozumi Higurashi used sorcery to transform into the likeness of Kozuki Sukiyaki and then wrote down her will!?"

Frost Moon Ushimaru stared in disbelief at Bazel, who was toying with the snake spirit in his beastman form.

"But how is this possible—"

"I will personally verify the truth of what you have said!"

"I advise you not to do that."

Bazel's words made Shimotsuki Ushimaru, who was about to leave, stop in his tracks.

"At least for now, we are still nominally allies of Kurozumi Orochi. If you go, I will have to defeat you even if I don't want to."

"Or do you think that a mere alliance of a few daimyo can stand against me?"

The serpent spirit that had been moving between Bazel's fingers suddenly opened its eyes completely and then shot into the snow.

roar-!!!

Before long, an ice dragon formed from snowflakes appeared, churning and swirling in the clouds.

"This is the power of the Yamata no Orochi. If I wanted, I could control an ice dragon to wipe you all out, or I could control an earth dragon to bury this city underground in an instant."

A snake spirit burrowed into the nearby bricks and stones, and within a few breaths it condensed into a small stone dragon.

He flipped his right palm over, and the two snake spirits obediently returned.

"And Kurozumi Orochi isn't only accompanied by Kurozumi Higurashi."

Recalling the other aura hidden behind the screen during their last meeting, Bazel couldn't help but sigh.

Former Paramecia-type Barrier-Barrier Fruit user, Kurozumi Semamaru.

The barrier created by his ability is said to be absolutely unbreakable. Kurozumi Seramaru once used this ability to easily block Kozuki Oden's attack.

"Do you know that famous biwa player from Wano Country?"

Pipa Master

Suddenly, the image of an old man appeared in Shuangyue Niuwan's mind.

"I have heard of the name of the Pipa Master. Legend has it that he was a highly accomplished monk who was well-versed in Buddhist and Taoist practices."

"The Biwa Master, whose full name is Kurozumi Semamaru, is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Barrier-Barrier Fruit ability."

"His so-called Buddhist and Taoist practices are actually relying on Devil Fruits to create an indestructible barrier."

"Don't even mention you, I doubt even Kaido and I could break through that barrier with our combined attacks."

Bazel rested his chin on his hand, pondering how to deal with the Barrier Fruit.

Even if his and Kaido's attacks fail to break through the barrier, they can use their fiery clouds to lift it up and then throw it into the sea to drown the opponent.

As for the others—

Bazel felt it was a bit risky.

While Jhin might be able to blow enemies away with a gust of wind, Loki hits a home run like he's hitting a baseball.

Aside from these two, the rest of the Beasts Pirates would probably have a headache if they encountered Kurozumi Semimaru.

Kurozumi Semimaru's only achievement was blocking Kozuki Oden's attack.

Putting aside Kozuki Oden's mental circuits, his strength is still undeniable.

He withstood the attacks of Whitebeard and Roger, but only coughed up blood.

This alone shows that the other party is tough and resilient, not to mention that he is also proficient in all three types of Haki.

It is estimated that even if Jin were to face Kozuki Oden several years later, he would only be destined to lose.

A better scenario would be a draw.

"My attacks couldn't even break through that barrier, let alone your weak slash."

Bazel patted his bottom and got up.

"I'll be spending a few days in Linghou; this is how I contact you."

After tossing a slip of paper with the snail's number on it to Shimotsuki Gyuumaru, Bazel headed towards the stairs without looking back, intending to return to the third floor to retrieve his clothes.

His eyes glanced at the komainu, which was lurking in the shadows and baring its teeth at him.

"Nice fur—"

The bristling fox, with its tail between its legs, scurried into the crevice. "Contact me once you've thought it through. I've already told you the pros and cons of the situation."

"You're not a child anymore; I think you already know what to choose."

"This choice concerns your and Ringo's future."

"Think it over carefully, Shimotsuki Gyuumaru."
