In Wano Country, the Capital of Flowers.
"Guhehehe!! Good, good, good! Kouzuki, your dance has become more and more captivating!!"
Inside the grand palace banquet hall, the aroma of wine fills the air, and the decorations are splendid.
At the heart of the hall, on a stage made of solid wood, a mesmerizing figure dances.
Her long emerald-colored hair flows gracefully with each movement, resembling a waterfall of green.
The vibrant kimono shifts and sways with her agile steps, occasionally revealing a hint of spring that stirs the imagination.
Her slender, delicate jade feet hover just above the ground, moving like dragonflies. She is as beautiful as a blooming lotus.
The phrase "beautiful as a goddess" fails to capture the full extent of her beauty.
The most beautiful woman in Wano Country, Hiyori Kouzuki! In the audience, Kurozumi Orochi blushed, holding a wine pot in one hand and a pipe in the other. His entire body seemed to tremble with excitement.
After the dance, Kouzuki slowly eased her graceful movements to a stop. She lightly walked toward Kurozumi Orochi, bowed slightly, and said, "Admiral Orochi, I am here to show you my ugliness."
Her red cherry lips formed a seductive and captivating curve.
Kurozumi Orochi laughed, raised his head, and poured the strong liquor from the pot, drinking it all in one gulp before grinning. "Not bad, not bad," he said.
He turned to the members sitting beside him, smiling broadly. "What do you think? A dance like that is rare, right?"
The members did not respond at all, merely nodding like soulless robots.
Kurozumi Orochi cursed them inwardly, thinking they were nothing but garbage.
They are political entities shaped by long-term brainwashing from the world government. Most have been conditioned since childhood, making it impossible to treat them as ordinary individuals.
Lacking personal will, their emotions remain stable and unchanged. Essentially, they function like data programs without a soul, following the world government’s rules and executing orders from their superiors.
"Kurozumi Orochi, you are already aware of the Five Elders’ intentions."
The leader, 0, didn’t even glance at the stunning courtesan, Kouzuki, speaking in an icy tone.
"In addition to establishing a long-term military network through this collaboration,"
"Your Wano country must also open its borders and allow our government members to settle along the borders of your land."
As soon as the words were spoken, the temperature in the palace banquet hall shot up. The atmosphere froze instantly, followed by a chilling gust of wind. The music came to an abrupt halt, and a sharp, echoing sound filled the air.
The speaker was suddenly hurled backward, his neck gripped tightly by a massive dragon’s head. He clutched his throat with both hands, struggling desperately to break free, but it was in vain.
Horrified, he realized that half of his body was being slowly consumed by the enormous dragon’s head. At last, fear overtook Anna, and she let out an unprecedented scream of terror.
However, her scream lasted only a brief moment before it was abruptly cut off. The man froze completely, like a rooster with its throat constricted.
Suddenly, the entire body of the CP0 member exploded like a swollen watermelon, his shattered remains devoured by the massive, ferocious dragon’s head. Blood splattered across the floor and palace walls, creating a horrific and suffocating scene.
The other guests in the room were paralyzed by the sight, gasping in shock before fleeing in terror.
"Founding a country..."
"Moving into my country of Kazuo."
Orochi slowly rose from the ground, lifting another pot of strong wine and gently shaking it.
The terrifying dragon head slowly retracted, reconnecting to his back. It hissed menacingly at the CP0 members, producing a cold, cruel sound, as if a venomous snake was eyeing its prey.
"I ask you, does the world government really think I’m so easy to bully?" Orochi’s eyes burned with scarlet murderous intent. "Do you truly believe Liu Feng’s declaration of war will frighten me?"
"Don’t make me laugh!"
"You want weapons? I can provide them."
He paused, and suddenly, with a deafening rumble, a massive, devil-like figure with an imposing presence crashed down from the sky, creating a terrifying crater in the ground. Dust billowed everywhere, and Kaido, holding the unconscious Golden Emperor Tesoro, appeared before everyone.
Kurozumi Orochi glanced at Tesoro in Kaido’s grasp and grinned. "The route is open."
"If you think you can take advantage of this opportunity to invade, establish your own country, and covet Wano..."
The roaring shadows and bloody winds whistled in the palace wantonly, carrying the smell of blood and killing.
"Then you are looking for death!!!"
