Chapter 97 Fire Across the Royal Capital
The gladiatorial games were in full swing, and the cheers from the stands reached the sky.
No one knows how far this competition will go; every collision between the players in the arena seems to be building up to the chaos to come.
……
in the lounge.
Even after a long time has passed, Kyoshiro is still shaken.
The pressure from that navy was even greater than that from Kaido ten years ago, and he couldn't think of any way to fight back!
He didn't know why he was still alive.
……
"Don't think about it anymore, it was I who saved you."
With his hands in his pockets and head held high, Kojiro said arrogantly, "My backer is not comparable to that of the mere Kurozumi Orochi. Even those Celestial Dragons have to give me face."
Kyoshiro lowered his eyes and chuckled awkwardly, "You mean His Highness the Protector of the Nation, Prince Ming?"
"Of course! That's Kaido! Who in Wano Country can compare to him!"
……
In fact...
It's not that complicated. It's just that Aokiji didn't kill him, and Mia Palace didn't care about his life or death at all.
Once the ice melts, consciousness will naturally return.

After hesitating for a moment, Kyoshiro couldn't help but ask, "But... I heard that your Shimotsuki clan has served the former shogun Kozuki clan for generations, hasn't Lord Myō-ō considered this?"
Kōjirō gave Kōshirō a deep look and smiled wryly.
"Mitsutsuki?"
"You mean that great hero who wielded two peerless swords, whose strength was unparalleled, and who led a mere nine people to fight against the Beasts Pirates, right, Kozuki Oden?"
……
Kyoshiro's pupils contracted slightly; he never expected that Kyojiro, who had long since pledged allegiance to Kaido, would say such a thing...
Could it be... that he, like me, is enduring humiliation and bearing a heavy burden?!
If that's really the case, then my previous thought of abandoning him was truly wrong!
But Kojiro didn't stop; his next words quickly shattered his illusions.
……
"Kozuki Oden, a complete fool with all his strength!!"
Kojiro spat and lay back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling.
"Kyoshiro... there are some things we can talk about even though we're not in Wano Country..."
"Actually, at the beginning, I joined the Beasts Pirates with the idea of becoming an inside agent."
"I really have known that kid for a long time..."
"I remember he was only ten years old when he committed a crime, was arrested, and forced to serve in the quarry. I was the manager of the quarry."
"His talent is truly exceptional... I appointed him as the foreman of stonemasons and petitioned the general to reduce his sentence."
"The absurd things that happened afterward... hehe, you should have heard about them at your age."
"At the age of twenty-nine, he abandoned his people and went to sea."
"By the time he returns, the Shogun of Wano Country will already be Kurozumi Orochi."
……
"We all believe... he can drive Orochi and Kaido out of Wano Country and restore peace to the past..."
"We endured humiliation and risked our lives time and time again to deliver messages from the Beasts Pirates to him, and what was he doing?"
"He's dancing."
"Dancing like an idiot in the square, haha..."
"He was dancing when the Beasts Pirates and the Moonlight Pirates were fighting, and he was still dancing when Kaido was building his military factory and releasing poison gas..."
"Kyoshiro, it wasn't us who betrayed Kozuki Oden."
"It was Kozuki Oden who betrayed us."
Kojiro spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something he didn't care about.
Perhaps he did shout and get angry, but now he doesn't care anymore.
……
……
No!!
Kyoshiro's heart was screaming.
That's not it! It's because Kaido took hostages and forced His Highness to comply!!
He was deceived by Kaido and his crew so that innocent civilians could survive!
……
Kyoshiro dared not say it aloud: regardless of Kyojiro's initial stance, he was now on Kaido's side...
Just wait, someone will come to defeat Kaido and liberate Wano Country!
Lord Oden's words are never wrong!!
……
"I... I didn't mean to criticize you, I was just asking casually."
"That Kozuki Oden, he really is... stupid..." Kyoshiro said with a forced smile.
He glanced at him indifferently, snorted softly, and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.
and many more……
Kyoshiro felt he had missed some crucial information...
"Mr. Kojiro, have you told them about the Beasts Pirates' activities in Wano Country?!"
Kyoshiro was overjoyed. The message he had desperately wanted to convey had been so easily revealed by Kyojiro!
That terrifying, frozen Marine will definitely go after Kaido!
In the past few days, Kyoshiro has learned that Kaido's bounty in the World Government is currently the third highest, reaching several billion Berries!
……
Kojiro didn't open his eyes, but a slight smile played on his lips.
"Kid... do you think all those military factories in Wano Country produce weapons for their own use?"
"With so many workers at the quarry every day, how many Seastone artifacts have you seen in Wano Country?"
Kyoshiro's body trembled.
"Hehe, Kaido is indeed in an adversarial relationship with the World Government, but Kurozumi Orochi, who is controlled by Kaido, has long since established a long-term supply of Seastone weapons through intermediaries and the World Government's Navy."
"Wano Country has the Seastone forging technology that the Navy wants, and the Navy has the biotechnology that Kaido desires... These two aren't exactly in a relationship where they'll go to war the moment they meet..."
Kyoshiro's breathing became rapid, and he tried several times but could not calm down.
He propped himself up on his knees.
"Excuse me... Mr. Kojiro, I'm not feeling well, I'm going to get some fresh air outside..."
……
Watching Kyoshiro's retreating figure, Kōjirō sighed deeply.
Denjiro...
How can you still not understand that it's a mistake to pin your hopes on a vague and uncertain future? If you really want to rebel, then take action yourself...
What are you waiting for?
What are you and Oden waiting for...?
……
……
Kyoshiro leaned against the railing, looking down at the arena where the final winner would be decided.
Click—
With a forceful squeeze of his fingertips, he crushed the stone railing, his slender eyes dimming.
How could this happen...?
Isn't the Navy supposed to be righteous? Why would they cooperate with the evil Kaido...?

In the arena, Cyrus defeated one opponent after another, glancing at the VIP viewing platform out of the corner of his eye.
Saint Jean-Germain sat trembling in the center, with King Riku and Viola beside him.
Realizing that the competition was involved in a huge conspiracy, Cyrus immediately sent his daughter back to the flower field. He had originally intended for King Riku and Ovira to leave as well...
King Riku did not agree.
As the king of a country, how can he stand idly by when a crisis is about to occur?
Viola and King Riku gave the same answer.
……
Cyrus looked around. In order to avoid arousing suspicion from the criminal the female Celestial Dragon wanted to capture, the competition proceeded as planned. The people had no idea that they were in danger...
Hopefully nothing bad will happen, after all, the vice admiral said that the criminal might not show up...
Peng——
Despite being distracted, the undefeated gladiator of three thousand matches still demonstrated his unparalleled dominance, defeating his last opponent.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
tumultuous--
The victory fireworks exploded, but there seemed to be an unusual sound mixed in with them.
A blinding flash of light appeared on the distant horizon, leaving a long arc of light as it approached.
The fireworks display across the city was abruptly ripped open, and dust from the ground was swept into the air in a V-shape.
A line of fire spanning the royal city,
Even before the person arrived, an irresistible sense of oppression enveloped the entire venue!
……
Hunting was bathed in flames, with fan-shaped fire wings forming behind him and pillars of fire shooting out from under his feet.
His body hurtled toward Jean-Claude Sánchez on the stands with incredible speed.
