Chapter 74 One day is Kun, one lifetime is Kun [Insults continue]
Chapter 74 Once a Kun, Always a Kun [Insults Continue]
The screams of Kozuki Oden and his son Momonosuke echoed through the Flower Capital like maggots being stirred up.
The voice was a mixture of pain, humiliation, anger, and utter despair, sending chills down one's spine.
Even monsters like Kaido and Big Mom, who had fought on the high seas for half their lives and were used to life and death, couldn't help but turn their heads away, their backs covered in cold sweat.
They were not unfamiliar with torture; in fact, they had experienced it themselves.
But this is the first time that a man whose strength ranks among the world's top and who is comparable to monsters like them has been treated like a plaything.
At that moment, those great pirates seemed to see their own future in Kozuki Oden.
Or rather, anyone who dares to defy Broly will face the same fate.
"Tsk—"
Kaido cursed under his breath, his sake jug hanging in mid-air, "—madman."
After saying this, Kaido couldn't help but shudder. Even though he was repeating it to himself, he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.
Oh shit.
Kaido probably never dreamed that he could be so afraid of someone.
BigMom squinted and didn't say anything, her mood was no different from her brother Kai's.
The common people had long since collapsed.
When Greene first put it on, a chorus of vomiting sounds erupted from both sides of the street.
Some people turned and ran, some collapsed to the ground, and some covered their eyes tightly, but their fingers were wide open.
After all, the seven on the stage were not nobodies, but symbols of the world's highest power: the Five Elders and the two captains of the Knights of God.
"Were they there voluntarily—or were they forced?"
This thought came to everyone's mind.
If it's the former, then those world nobles who claim to be descendants of gods all day long are nothing more than a bunch of perverts.
If it's the latter—then Broly's horror has already exceeded the scope of human comprehension.
The Nine Red Scabbards suffered the most devastating defeats.
Kin'emon trembled all over, and the sword in his hand clattered to the ground.
He watched the scene on stage, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
Denjiro clutched his forehead tightly, his hair turning white at a visible speed, just like his fate in the original story.
Raizo punched his temples repeatedly, as if trying to force the scene out of his mind.
"Stop! Stop it now!!!"
Kin'emon finally broke down. He forgot about death and fear, and lunged at the platform like a madman.
"Behave yourself."
Jhin placed one hand on his shoulder and casually pointed to the side with the other.
There, Kozuki Toki and Kozuki Hiyori had fainted from fright, leaning limply against the pillar, their faces deathly pale.
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee that this woman and the kid will still be alive."
Kin'emon's body froze instantly.
He looked at the unconscious Kozuki Toki and Hiyori, then at the screaming Kozuki Oden on the stage, tears mixed with snot streaming down his face, and he collapsed to the ground as if his bones had been removed.
Kozuki Oden's screams continued, like a dull knife cutting back and forth on the nerves of these Kozuki family retainers.
In stark contrast was Broly's unrestrained laughter.
"Hahahaha—!!!"
The laughter pierced the clouds and echoed over Wano Country, sending a chill down the spine of everyone who heard it.
"Kill him—kill him!!!"
Kin'emon clutched his head, his voice hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper, "I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear Lord Oden's screams!!!"
'
Nobody paid him any attention.
Ji Touqi's face was filled with a twisted "ecstasy".
Only they know how disgusting they are.
But in order to regain their freedom and escape Broly's clutches, they had to act, they had to pretend to be enjoying it.
All sorts of dirty tricks and disgusting actions rained down on Kozuki Oden.
Kin'emon could no longer bear it.
He suddenly stretched out his hands and viciously gouged at his own eyes.
"Quack! I don't want to see Lord Oden's miserable state!!!"
Fresh blood gushed out from between his fingers, splattering on the ground like flamboyant flowers.
He seemed oblivious to the pain, screaming in agony, "Waaah!!! I don't want to see!!!"
Denjiro, Raizo, and others followed suit.
Some pierced their own ears, some slashed their faces with knives, and some slammed their heads against the wall in an attempt to lose consciousness. Their will and their faith collapsed completely amidst Broly's laughter and Kozuki Oden's screams.
The Kozuki father and son, the Nine Red Scabbards, these invincible figures from Wano Country, all let out indescribable screams of agony at that moment.
But then Gordon's singing began.
"Y—M—C—A—!!!"
The cheerful, rhythmic melody, so incongruous with the hellish scene before him, transformed into the most beautiful music in Broly's ears.
Wow, that's awesome!!!
Wow, that's powerful!!!
He patted the armrest of the chair, laughing so hard that tears almost streamed down his face.
The world's attention, through the video Den Den Mushi (snail phone), is focused on this high platform.
They witnessed the tragic state of Kozuki Oden, the collapse of the Nine Red Scabbards, and the disgraceful behavior of Kitoki, and finally, their gaze fell upon the man sitting on the throne.
Broly's smile was pure, heartfelt joy.
That smile filled everyone with endless fear.
Considering the power he had just displayed on the battlefield, a power capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, only one thought remained in the minds of people all over the world: the demon.
A complete demon.
1499 in the Haiyuan calendar.
A year has passed since Broly arrived on this planet.
Three months have passed since the Udon match.
The insults never stop.
Over the past three months, Chicken Head Seven has used every bizarre and disgusting method imaginable to completely crush Kozuki Oden.
They tore his dignity apart, trampled on his self-esteem, and crushed everything about him as a man into the mud.
Now, we've tried every trick in the book.
No matter how outrageous the behavior, it couldn't elicit even the slightest reaction from Kozuki Oden.
His eyes had become empty.
Even Broly, who comes to "visit and check in" after training every day, feels a bit numb.
"Tsk," he scratched his head, "It's the same every day, I'm getting a little tired of it."
-
After all, even the most exciting things will get boring if you watch them every day.
Only a very small number of people seemed to have developed some strange hobby during these three months, sitting in front of the projection screen every day, watching with great interest, and even secretly studying.
People around the world have mostly returned to their daily lives.
World governments have also stopped arresting pregnant women and babies.
After all, a year had passed since Roger was executed.
Throughout the year, all pregnant women and newborn babies were abducted by them.
The line of the Pirate King has been completely severed.
However, despite their meticulous planning, they overlooked one crucial detail.
One month after Kozuki Oden was brutally humiliated, Fishman Island.
A crying baby was born inside the coral tower.
His mother named him Portgas D. Ace.
Flower City, High Platform.
Looking at the unresponsive Kozuki Oden, Ji Touqi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Isn't it about time to end this?"
Grimg swallowed hard, thinking to himself.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from behind.
They turned their heads and saw a shirtless man slowly walking towards them.
That was Broly, who had just finished his daily training.
His body still carried the lingering heat and a light sheen of sweat.
He has grown quite a bit taller than he did a year ago.
Gringu quickly composed himself, stepped forward, pointed at Kozuki Oden who was chained to a pillar, and said cautiously, "Lord Broly—this guy doesn't even call out anymore, there's no point in playing around anymore, is there?"
Broly sat down in the chair Tesoro had brought, resting his chin on his hand, and looked at Kozuki Oden with great interest.
"Should we give up?"
He smiled slightly, "But up to this point, I still haven't seen any real despair in his eyes."
He stretched out his finger and scratched his temple.
"You haven't completely shattered his self-esteem yet."

"This game isn't over yet."
Satan frowned, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Who would have thought he was so tough—"
He muttered something under his breath, then looked up and said respectfully to Broly, "M-Sir, we've used up all the techniques we've learned, and we really can't think of any new methods."
Broly stroked his chin, seemingly deep in thought.
"really,"
He nodded. "Right now, if we just torture his body, I really can't think of any other way to make him feel even more pain."
Three months is enough time to erase many things.
Aside from a very small number of "awakened" individuals, only forces like the remnants of the Roger Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy, and the World Government are still paying attention to this live broadcast.
They were concerned about Kozuki Oden's life or death, but even more so about Broly's every move.
Even Kizaru, the "official photographer," was showing signs of fatigue.
He carried the video Den Den Mushi, thinking to himself, "I hope this ends soon—I want to go home quickly."
Because the game has dragged on for so long, he has been stuck in Wano Country for the past three months, unable to go back and report.
After all, he had to bring the TV Den Den Mushi back according to orders from above.
Moreover, if they're lucky, the Seven Elders—no, the Five Elders and the two commanders of the Knights of God—can also go with him.
"Oh shit,"
Kizaru rubbed his temples, unable to hold back his internal curse. "These past three months, calling them 'the seventh day after death' has become so ingrained that I've almost forgotten their true identities."
He felt that even if these people returned to the World Government, he would never be able to see them the same way he used to.
All eyes were silently drawn to Kozuki Oden.
The body before me was nothing but skin and bones, so thin that it was almost just an outline.
No one would have guessed that he was once the second division captain who was on friendly terms with Whitebeard, and the fourth member of Roger's pirate crew.
After three months of torment, although Broly never killed him outright, he only kept him alive to a minimum by injecting glucose.
At this moment, Kozuki Oden's body had reached a point where it was terrifying to behold.
Flies swarmed around him, buzzing and occasionally landing on his wounds, greedily sucking at the rotting flesh and blood.
His body was covered with marks of torture.
Before the old wounds have healed, new wounds keep appearing.
In some places, the bones have rotted and are exposed.
Even so, a final trace of defiance remained deep in his eyes.
That was the pride of Kozuki Oden.
Suddenly, Broly's eyes lit up.
He seemed to be possessed by the owner of the Iron Bull Beef Noodles restaurant, raising his index finger and saying with shining eyes, "Hey! I've suddenly thought of a brilliant idea."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone watching the live stream around the world changed simultaneously.
And in the seas surrounding Wano Country.
Moby Dick.
Jozu jumped to his feet, pointed at the video Den Den Mushi, and shouted, "Dad! Broly seems to have a new plan!"
Whitebeard, who had stopped watching the live stream, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and walked over.
In fact, by the third day, he was so disgusted that he simply stopped watching.
Although he harbored some resentment towards Kozuki Oden for "switching" to Roger's crew back then, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him when he saw him being tortured like this.
After all, this is just too tragic.
Even so, Whitebeard showed no intention of helping.
He simply instructed Marco to keep a close eye on Izang and prevent him from making any rash moves.
After all, Broly had already demonstrated his strength of 53 combat points. (I'm really sorry for the typo in the previous chapter; it was a bit awkward and inconvenient to correct it.)
If the Whitebeard Pirates make any rash moves, Broly could simply treat them like he treated Barrett, giving them a "space cruise package" as well.
And not just the Whitebeard Pirates.
Upon hearing Broly's words, other forces around the world also gathered again in front of the projection screen.
They wanted to see what new tricks this devil had come up with this time.
Broly said leisurely, "Something once happened on my home planet."
His voice was broadcast all over the world through the video Den Den Mushi (snail phone).
"When people from one country want to seize the land of another country, they exterminate the entire ethnic group of the other country."
"To utterly shatter the confidence of this people, they captured their leader, cut off his 'penis,' and stuffed it into his mouth."
As he said this, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"That person was still alive at the time."
"I feel that this is an absolute insult that completely strips the target of their dignity—"
"The ultimate insult."
Upon hearing this, audiences around the world, who already found Broly terrifying enough, were once again stunned.
Good guy.
You can play it like this?
Meanwhile, in Kuri, at Kozuki Oden's residence.
Izo, who heard Broly's words through the video Den Den Mushi, could no longer suppress his anger.
"Oden-sama—!!!"
He suddenly rushed towards the Flower Capital, cracking the ground beneath his feet.
Seeing this, Marco quickly gave chase, shouting, "Izo! Don't make any rash moves!!!"
However, this time Izang ignored his warning.
If Lord Oden is going to be treated like that, he absolutely cannot stand idly by any longer!
The other members of the Nine Red Scabbards followed suit.
However, their condition is not as good as before.
Many people have gouged out their own eyes and pierced their own ears, just so they would never again see the horrific sight of Kozuki Oden or hear his screams.
Their physical and mental well-being is on the verge of collapse.
Broly glanced sideways at Kristallnacht.
"After bringing this show to a perfect close, you can go back now."
Upon hearing this, Ji Touqi was overjoyed.
They forgot all the disgusting things they had done in the past three months, forgot the feeling of their dignity being trampled underfoot, and all showed long-lost smiles.
"Okay, okay!!!"
"Finally, I can go back!!!"
Overjoyed, Green began rummaging through the toolbox next to him.
"Found it!!!"
He took out a huge bench vise, which was about half a person's height, with its jaws gleaming with a cold metallic luster, clearly indicating its immense power.
-
"Let's use this to crush his thing!!!"
This time, his smile was genuine, not feigned.
Once they finish this task, they will regain their freedom!
Therefore, they are already eager to squeeze and crush Kozuki Oden's "little brother".
Upon seeing that enormous vise, men all over the world felt a chill run down their spines and involuntarily swallowed hard.
Broly slapped the armrest of the seat.
"Good!!! You old bastard, you really are a monster!!!"
He laughed loudly, "Then let's bring this show to a perfect close!!!"
The seven members of the base slowly walked towards the bound Kozuki Oden.
They uttered all sorts of vile and offensive words, describing the torture that was about to be inflicted.
Anyone who heard these words would probably be terrified and wet themselves.
But Kozuki Oden gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a resolute determination.
Grimg took the lead, raising his vise and grinning maliciously, "Kozuki Oden, say goodbye to your brother!!!"
At that moment, countless people around the world, including those world-renowned pirates, instinctively turned their heads to the other side, unable to bear looking any longer.
"Snap—!!!"
A crisp sound rang out, clearly echoing throughout the world.
The sound was like bones being broken, or like some hard object being crushed.
Kozuki Oden gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and the blood vessels in his neck throbbed like earthworms. His body trembled violently, and finally, he let out a suppressed scream.
"Ugh—!!!"
His eyes were bulging so wide they almost popped out, and the muscles in his face were contorted violently with pain, making his whole face look ferocious and terrifying.
Seeing this, Satan and the others were overjoyed and eagerly said to Broly, "Lord Broly! Did you see that? He's showing a pained expression!!!"
They were genuinely afraid that Broly would go back on his word.
Fortunately, Broly also showed a satisfied smile.
"Okay, you can leave now."
Upon hearing this, Monkey D. Dragon, Ivankov, Big Bear, Ginny, and others, who were watching the live broadcast from a secret base, all changed their expressions drastically.
Ginny exclaimed in shock, "He's really going to let those people go?!"
For Gan Ziyong's army, the World Government is the number one enemy.
If Broly were to release the Five Elders and the two commanders of the Knights of God all at once, it would undoubtedly make it more difficult for them to overthrow the World Government.
Ginny initially thought Broly was just joking when he said he would let Ki go on the seventh day after the festival, but she didn't expect him to be serious.
Aside from Ginny, the rest of the Ziyong Army remained surprisingly calm.
One of the burly men, dressed in purple robes, slowly spoke, "It was expected."
If Broly were here, he would recognize him at a glance.
Isn't this the same fierce tiger, Yi Xiao, that we haven't seen for a year?
That's right, Ichisho has now joined the Self-Defense Force and become one of Monkey D. Dragon's subordinates.
Ginny looked at him incredulously and asked, "Isn't he worried about letting a tiger return to the mountain?"
Upon hearing this, the other members of Ziyong Army looked at her with strange expressions.
Ginny realized she had asked a stupid question.
Oh shit.
How could Broly possibly be afraid?
To him, the Five Elders and the World Government are probably nothing more than grasshoppers hopping around on the ground.
When you want to play with it, just hold it in your hand and play with it.
When you're done playing, just toss it on the ground.
Besides, if Broly wanted to, he could simply release these people first and then re-arrest them later when he wanted to have some fun with them.
Wasn't it always like this?
"That's just the kind of person he is."
He commented with a faint smile.
He had already seen through Broly's character when they first met in Alabasta.
"Lord Oden!!!"
Just then, a scream came from the projection screen.
The entire Ziyong Army turned their heads to look.
A "woman"—no, a man—dressed in a kimono rushed into the frame.
The person had their hair styled in a bun, wore exquisite makeup and a gorgeous kimono, and looked like a woman, but their voice and figure revealed their true gender.
Everyone recognized him at a glance.
It was Izo, one of the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"He's asking for it!!!"
Ginny couldn't help but complain, "How dare they interfere when Broly is having such a good time."
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!!!"
Marco quickly caught up, bowing repeatedly to Broly in apology, "He's drunk, he's really drunk!!!"
The reason given was exactly the same as it was three months ago.
Just then, Somazu put the fallen object into Kozuki Oden's mouth, and with a click, chief photographer Kizaru took a picture of the scene.
Upon seeing Izan and Marco's arrival, he couldn't help but turn to look at Broly, wanting to see his attitude.
However, Broly did not get angry as they had expected.
He just stretched with a bored expression, turned around and said, "Hmm~ let's go eat breakfast."
Broly's attitude surprised the whole world.
Tesoro pointed at Izo and Marco, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and asked cautiously, "Lord Broly? Don't we need to kill them both?"
99
Broly walked towards the palace without looking back.
"I've lost interest in that guy."
He said calmly, "Take it if you want."
Upon hearing this, Izang revealed an expression of ecstatic joy.
He quickly pushed Somazu aside, removed the object from Kozuki Oden's mouth, and then shouted to Marco, "Marco! Come help me!!!"
Marco then realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to help Kozuki Oden untie himself.
Looking at Kozuki Oden, who was covered in flies and smelled of decay, Marco didn't know how to comfort him.
Like Whitebeard, he was also dissatisfied with Kozuki Oden's defection back then.
But seeing him in such a miserable state, Marco could no longer stand idly by.
"Come on, I'll take you back to the Moby Dick to heal your wounds."
He said.
The new Amazon Lily is now completely ruled by the Kuja Pirates, so there's no way any doctor would be willing to treat Kozuki Oden. The only option is to take him back to the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Your Majesty Oden!!!"
At this moment, the Nine Red Scabbards, led by the blind Kin'emon, also arrived.
Upon seeing Kozuki Oden untied, they all showed expressions of ecstatic joy.
"Take Oden's wife and children with us, let's set sail immediately!"
Marco shouted.
Although Broly had lost interest in Kozuki Oden, staying in this country was still too dangerous.
Don't forget, there are still quite a few members of the Beasts Pirates on the island. Kaido really wants to wipe out the entire Kozuki family in one fell swoop.
Just then, Broly, who had already walked some distance, suddenly stopped.
"Oh, right."
As if remembering something, he said calmly, "Leave Oden's daughter here."
Upon hearing this, Kozuki Oden, who was on the verge of fainting from the pain, suddenly opened his eyes.
Those previously empty eyes suddenly erupted with intense anger and fear.
Izo, Denjiro, and the others also looked at Broly in disbelief.
"Why—why?"
"I asked, trembling," Izang asked.
Broly turned halfway around and said with a smile, "I think she was very suitable to be Kun. It's such a pity that she left like this."
Hancock, Shirahoshi, and Kozuki Hiyori.
These three women are referred to by Oda as the three most beautiful women in this manga.
Now, Hancock and Shirahoshi are his possessions.
With the idea of collecting stamps in mind, Broly felt that there was no need to miss the last one.
Besides, didn't that woman really like being a kun?
Just right.
One day is Kun, one's whole life is Kun.
If you like it so much, then stay.
Be your own personal Kun.
Upon hearing that Broly had no intention of letting his daughter go, Kozuki Oden gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to prepare to unleash a torrent of curses.
However, Marco reacted quickly and covered his mouth.
"Don't be impulsive, Oden,"
He whispered, "There's only hope if we survive. Let's go now."
After saying that, he led Izo and the others, carrying Kozuki Oden, and retreated towards Kuri.
Tesoro bowed respectfully to Broly and said, "Lord Broly, I'll go retrieve it."
Broly waved his hand, signaling him to go ahead.
After a year of arduous training, Tesoro's strength has reached the level of a pirate with a bounty of tens of millions, but he is still far behind Marco and the Nine Red Scabbards.
Finally, Marco and his group, who had brought Kozuki Oden back to Kuri, were the first to return to Oden's residence.
On the way back, Marco frowned as he looked at Oden's bleeding wound.
His right hand burst into flames of a pale blue.
"Oden, let me treat your wound first."
The Phoenix Flame can be used not only as an attack method, but also has a powerful healing effect.
Besides being the captain of the first division, Marco also serves as the ship's doctor for the Whitebeard Pirates.
Although his medical skills are not as superb as Trafalgar Ronaldo's in the future, they are definitely not bad.
However, just as he reached out his hand, he heard Kozuki Oden, who had been keeping his head down and not saying a word, roar loudly.
"Waaah—! Don't touch it!!!"
"Huh?"
Marco was startled.
Kozuki Oden lowered his head and said in a voice that sounded like he was about to die, "I beg you, Marco—I don't want any more men to touch it—I beg you."
Marco remained silent.
Looking at Kozuki Oden's scarred body, which had long lost its former vigor, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.
He said nothing more, but simply carried Oden's arm and continued on to Kuri's mansion with Izo and the others.
"Oden!"
When everyone returned safely, they heard the commotion outside, and then they heard Kozuki Toki's voice coming from inside.
She hadn't seen her husband for several months and looked much more haggard, but she was still stunningly beautiful.
However, upon hearing his wife's voice, Kozuki Oden revealed an even more desperate expression than before.
"Ah—!!! Ah Shi, no!!! I don't want to see her!!!"
Denjiro, with his full head of white hair, knew his master's thoughts very well. He quickly rushed forward and stood in front of Kozuki Toki, saying, "Madam, the situation is very chaotic right now. Please go back and rest."
However, Kozuki, who had been worried about her husband for three months, refused to give up.
"No, I want to see Oden!!!"
Her first instinct was to push Denjiro away.
As the time for Kozuki to pass was about to end, Denjiro gritted his teeth and delivered a swift chop to her neck, knocking her unconscious.
Seeing his wife collapse, Kozuki Oden finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The faint sunlight made him feel a little warm.
It's not just the sunshine, but also another kind of warmth.
But this warmth quickly vanished completely as he saw something else.
Just then, a petite figure stepped out from the entrance of his own residence.
Although young, his appearance already bears a 70% resemblance to Kozuki Toki.
It was their youngest daughter—Hiyori Kozuki.
Hearing the noise outside the door, 3-year-old Hiyori Kozuki came out of the house and saw her father's current state.
Her little face was filled with confusion and fear.
"dad----"
She called out timidly.
At this moment, what could Kozuki Oden, who had no ability to escape, do besides hanging his head and pretending not to see?
Three months of torment and humiliation were nothing compared to the sight of his beloved daughter seeing him in such a powerless and ugly state.
This is the true, ultimate insult.
If we had to pinpoint a silver lining amidst the misfortune, perhaps the only saving grace would be that of Hiyori, who had just turned three and didn't yet understand many things.
Although she could see the pain on her father's face, she didn't understand what it meant.
Subsequently, under Marco's instructions, everyone in the Kozuki family began packing their belongings, preparing for a rapid evacuation.
"Hmm? Where are we all going?"
"I asked you curiously."
Denjiro hesitated, then asked Marco, "Um—shall we take Princess Hiyori with us?"
However, before Marco could answer, a mocking voice rang out from outside the door.
Do you think this is possible?
Everyone turned to look.
Standing at the door was none other than Broly's number one paparazzi, Gilles Tezzolo.
He strode into the mansion, and like picking up a kitten, grabbed Hiyori Kozuki by the back of her neck and lifted her up.
"This girl already belongs to Lord Broly."
He said with a sneer, "Little girl, remember your mission from now on: to serve Lord Broly with your life, to live for him, and to die for him."
Seeing this fierce-looking uncle speaking to her in such a menacing tone, 3-year-old Hiyori immediately burst into tears.
"Let me go!!! Let me go!!! Mom!!! Dad, help me!!!"
However, Tezzolo didn't care at all.
He laughed heartily, grabbed Kozuki Hiyori, and strode away.
Faced with this, everyone in the Kozuki family could only grit their teeth and watch this scene with humiliation.
With their strength, any one of them could easily kill Tesoro.
However, at the same time, they were all very clear—
If we make a move against Tezzolo, then the next person we'll face is Broly.
Marco sighed and said, "Let's focus on surviving first."
"Judging from Broly's attitude just now, he probably won't make a move against Hiyori for the time being. He can look for an opportunity later."
In fact, he knew it in his heart.
These words were merely meant to comfort the members of the Kozuki family.
opportunity?
What chance do you have?!
No matter how many opportunities they are given, they cannot snatch someone away from Broly.
Two hours later.
Marco, along with the entire Kozuki family, successfully boarded the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick.
However, the expressions on the faces of the thousands of members of the White Group on the ship were quite subtle.
"Damn it," Teach couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "what a bunch of troublesome guys."
In his eyes, these people were a menace.
Although Broly just said in the live stream that he was no longer interested in Kozuki Oden, leaving them on the ship is like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.
"Bai—Bai Xiaoji—"
The emaciated Kozuki Oden stared into the eyes of the white-bearded man.
"I—I—"
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
-
The title "Bai Xiaoji" was what he called Whitebeard when he was the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Whitebeard looked at Kozuki Oden's current state and remained silent for a long time.
His eyes held a complex mix of regret, anger, and a hint of helplessness.
Finally, he sighed and said, "You should focus on healing your wounds first."
Just as the Moby Dick was preparing to leave Wano Country, a warship also set sail from Wano Country.
It happened to be traveling alongside the Moby Dick.
When Joz and the others looked up, they discovered that it was actually a naval warship.
The person standing at the bow of the ship was none other than Kizaru, who had served as the "chief photographer" for the past three months.
On the ship, besides the naval soldiers in blue and white uniforms, there were also several elderly men dressed in black suits.
It was the Seven Elders—no, the Five Elders, along with Grindelwald and Somaz.
It seems that nowadays, people all over the world only remember the seven of them as "the first seven."
What will the future hold for this world?
Marco couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Oden was rescued, but it remains to be seen how much strength he can recover.
Broly also released the powerful Five Elders and two members of the Knights of God.
The world government has also recovered to a considerable extent.
Where will this great pirate era lead in the future?
No one could have predicted it.
However, there is one thing that Marco and his team are certain of.
That means no matter what, this world cannot escape the control of one person.
Finally, Marco couldn't help but exclaim, "What Great Pirate Era? It's more like the Great Broly Era!"
Shortly after the Navy warships led by Kizaru departed with the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick.
At the World News newspaper branches around the world, countless newspaper birds flew out, scattering the latest newspapers.
And just as Marco had predicted.
The newspaper headline boldly proclaimed the Broly Era.
