Apart from Fugetsu Omusubi and Shimotsuki Ushimaru, the remaining daimyos were Uzuki Tempura and Shimotsuki Yasuie. Uzuki Tempura’s strength was similar to that of Fugetsu Omusubi.
However, Shimotsuki Yasuie was different. Although he was from the same family as Shimotsuki Ushimaru, if Shimotsuki Ushimaru was the strongest daimyo, then Shimotsuki Yasuie was the exact opposite.
Among the daimyos of Wano Country, he was undoubtedly at the bottom, and just one Elizabeth was enough to deal with him.
Although Elizabeth had also consumed the poisonous food, the poison had no effect on the basilisk lizard. In fact, because of the poison, the bland food became somewhat spicy for her.
As for the reason why Olga can happily slack off is not because Uzuki Tempura is weak, but because of Wano Country’s unique situation.
On the Grand Line, due to the multitude of islands, each country possesses its unique characteristics, and their approaches to the development of strength vary greatly, such as the Mantra on Skypiea.
Mantra was another name for Observation Haki on Skypiea, and Enel, with the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, had taken Observation Haki to the extent of hearing others’ thoughts.
However, he was not the only one who knew Mantra; some of his priests also possessed Observation Haki, but there was no one on Sky Island who could use Armament Haki.
In contrast, Wano Country is different; they refer to Armament Haki as “Ryuo,” and powerful samurai here commonly use this ability. However, Observation Haki is quite rare in Wano Country, and most people who have never left Wano Country are even unfamiliar with it.
The most outstanding user of Observation Haki in Wano Country was Oden, who had ventured out to sea. He not only awakened his own abilities but could even hear the Voice of All Things. When he was on Zou Island, he could faintly hear the voice of Zunesha in his mind.
Under his guidance, some of his retainers also learned Observation Haki, but Uzuki Tempura couldn’t learn it. Having never left Wano Country and always staying in the Udon region, he lacks knowledge of Observation Haki.
And people who didn’t know about Observation Haki are completely defenseless against Olga. Therefore, Uzuki Tempura initially had to confront not Olga but Kozuki Oden’s retainers.
Although they had received rudimentary training in Observation Haki under Kozuki Oden’s guidance, their Observation Haki was not enough to awaken Uzuki Tempura.
In a situation where even pain could be deceived, Uzuki Tempura’s attacks proved to be quite challenging for them. Consequently, they remained apprehensive, which allowed Olga to continue slacking off on the sidelines.
As for the other people here, it’s best if they stay away. Approaching would only add to the chaos. Humans don’t suddenly acquire a knack for the bizarre and eccentric. If one were to search for the one with the most twisted sense of humor among the current members of the Beasts Pirates, Olga would undoubtedly top the list.
Shayna learned her eccentric sense of humor from her. Anyway, now that her goal has been achieved, she openly started slacking off without any reservations.
“Tempura-sama, the enemy is over there!”
“Damn it… there’s no way to get close to that woman.”
Without resolving the situation of Uzuki Tempura, they couldn’t approach, and without getting closer, they couldn’t resolve the issue with Uzuki Tempura. It seemed like a deadlock, and the situation was getting increasingly unfavorable for them. In the end, Ashura Doji made a decision.
Facing the sword strike from Uzuki Tempura, he chose not to dodge but let it pierce his own arm. Once known as the “Monster of Kuri,” he was the strongest among Oden’s retainers.
Afterward, he thrust his sword into Uzuki Tempura’s arm, subduing him at the cost of both of them being injured.
“Kiku, Raizo, think of a way to deal with that woman. I’ll suppress Tempura-sama!”
Kikunojo and Raizo were about to act upon Ashura Doji’s orders, but at the next moment, the entire hall seemed to quiet down. Kaido walked in through the breach in the castle wall, holding Enma and Ame no Habakiri in his hands.
Most people stopped their battles to gaze in Kaido’s direction, except for Queen, who continued his relentless bombing.
“Worororo, Olga, do you still enjoy playing these games? Remove the illusion.”
“Understood, Captain.”
As Olga’s ability was removed, Uzuki Tempura realized that the enemy in front of him was one of Oden’s retainers and ceased his resistance. Kaido casually tossed Enma and Ame no Habakiri to the side.
“Kozuki Oden is…”
“Boom!”
“Kozuki Oden is…”
“Crash!” The collapsed ceiling beams tumbled down, hitting Kaido with a shower of stones. Compared to typical wooden structures, this palace had a considerable amount of stone materials.
“Queen, you! Quiet down!”
He casually picked up a small stone and tossed it, bringing about a moment of silence. Finally, Kaido completed his sentence.
“Kozuki Oden is dead. Does anyone want to surrender?”
“Im-Impossible! Oden-sama couldn’t… Oden-sama couldn’t have died here!” Ashura Doji roared. He simply couldn’t believe it, but as he denied Kaido, tears welled up in his eyes.
Enma and Ame no Habakiri were Kozuki Oden’s swords, and he couldn’t mistake those two. If Kozuki Oden didn’t fall in battle, those swords would never have ended up in Kaido’s hands. Though unwilling, he had to accept what Kaido said.
Apart from Ashura Doji, most of Oden’s retainers had a similar reaction.
“Raizo, Kikunojo, hurry back and bring Lady Toki away. Even if I have to give my life, I’ll hold them off.”
In his grief, Ashura Doji picked up his weapon once more. Unlike the others, he only acknowledged Kozuki Oden and not the entire Kozuki family.
Now that Kozuki Oden had fallen in this place, there was no reason for him to escape. His fate was to die here.
“Go now!”
Seeing that they were still hesitating, Ashura Doji shouted at them again, prompting them to take action. Queen had just raised his hand to attack the fleeing Kikunojo and Raizo when Kaido stopped him
“Boss Kaido, what are you doing? Are you letting them go?”
“Yamato needs a purpose, and what better than the remnants of a vengeful enemy. Is there anyone more suitable than them?”
After explaining, Kaido looked back at Ashura Doji, who wore a solemn and grieving expression.
“You’ve an interesting look in your eyes, I quite appreciate it. How about joining me? And the rest of you, as the daimyos of your regions, don’t you want to avoid dying here?”
No one responded to Kaido; the only answer he received was the swords charging at him.
“I see. Deal with them, try to capture them alive. Olga, you should stop playing around. As an All-Star, you can’t just watch from the sidelines.”
With the arrival of the corporate boss, Olga’s slacking life came to an end. Meanwhile, Kaido cast his gaze toward Ashura Doji.
“Though as foolish as that guy Oden, you have a decent look in your eyes. You have the qualifications to challenge me.”
