Chapter 277 Bet It All
"Denjiro…"
Kin'emon, who could be considered the elder brother in the group, looked at Denjiro, who was clearly eager to move, and hesitated.
Although he didn't know why Denjiro would say these words, he could clearly feel that Denjiro's trip would be fraught with peril.
For Kin'emon, under the premise of unclear circumstances, he wanted to prioritize stability and planned to first escort Toki and Momonosuke back to Kuri to gather more Military Strength, and then find a way to send Cat and Dog out of Wano Country to the Grand Line to seek Reinforcements.
After all, according to Cat and Dog, Lord Oden also knew remarkable Strongest individuals on the Grand Line.
When the Reinforcements arrived, they could launch a general attack against all enemies invading Wano Country in one go.
If they rashly contacted certain people according to Denjiro's suggestion, it was very likely to make the other party aware of something, resulting in complete defeat.
Denjiro looked at Kin'emon, who hesitated to speak, and knew what the other party was worried about.
"This is a gamble, we cannot place all our Hope on Lord Oden's previous Friends!"
He would not give Kin'emon a chance to object to this proposal.
Among everyone present, in his opinion, there might be many people with higher Military Force than him, but when it came to schemes, these people were far behind.
"You have also seen the Strength displayed by that Weapon, if we can obtain his assistance, then even if we cannot take back Wano Country, the safety of Lord Momonosuke will be guaranteed! And I believe he is also very willing to provide Protection to Lord Momonosuke, after all, as long as Lord Momonosuke is here, he will occupy the righteousness of unifying Wano Country."
"...!"
Everyone was slightly surprised and understood the Reason for Denjiro's decision.
"This is an Opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity, no matter what you think… I will do my best to seize it! Because our Power is too Weakness compared to those Monsters!"
In Denjiro's Eyes, a sharp Radiance was revealed.
Madam Toki on the side pursed her lips and looked at Denjiro's determined Face.
She really wanted to say—I will go with you too.
After all, she knew that Weapon once wanted to get a lot of Intelligence from her.
But knowing that she only knew a little Thing, and after that time, she estimated that she was already of little Value in Nicholas's Eyes.
So she wisely did not say these Words.
"Denjiro, I believe in you."
Madam Toki turned to Denjiro and showed a faint smile.
Denjiro met Madam Toki's Gaze, remained Silence, but gripped the Sword in his hand even harder.
"If this is a gamble, then let us bet ourselves as chips!!!"
Kanjuro, who had been rarely speaking and carrying a huge writing brush on his back, suddenly spoke.
He looked at Denjiro seriously and said loudly: "We believe in your decision just like Madam, Denjiro!"
Kanjuro's speech, full of Emotion, immediately infected Kin'emon and the others.
Yes.
They could not place all their Hope on Lord Oden's Friends who were currently unknown where they were. After all, so many years had passed, it was uncertain whether the other party would be willing to fight those terrifying Monsters for Lord Oden.
"Denjiro, I leave this Thing to you!"
Kin'emon then expressed his position, looking at Denjiro solemnly.
The others also looked at Denjiro seriously.
They were willing to believe Denjiro's judgment and were willing to bet everything on Denjiro's judgment.
Denjiro was stunned for a moment.
"Now is not the time to act on impulse, Kin'emon, your most important Thing now is to escort the young Lord and Madam safely back to Kuri, and ensure that they are not found by Orochi and Kaido's lackeys!"
Denjiro said seriously to Kin'emon, he could gamble, after all, he had already given his Life to Lord Oden.
But he must not watch the young Lord and Madam take risks together.
Looking at Madam Toki and Kin'emon who still wanted to say something, Denjiro directly waved his hand and said: "I know your Thoughts, but I Hope you understand that Your Highness Momonosuke is our Hope."
After speaking, he looked at Nekomamushi and Inuarashi again: "After you two follow them back to Kuri, immediately find a way to go to Sea to find Lord Oden's former Partners and tell them what happened in Wano Country. In addition, if possible, I Hope you can return to Zou again, we need the Power of the Mink Tribe! Please!"
As he spoke, Denjiro knelt down to Nekomamushi and Inuarashi. In his opinion, Lord Oden's Partners were likely unreliable, after all, they had no need to fight those Monsters for a Lord Oden who had already died, so Denjiro had to consider this point, and Zou was his backup option.
After all, as someone who had personally seen Nekomamushi and Inuarashi's Sulong Form, he understood how powerful the Mink Tribe warriors were on a Full Moon night.
"Don't worry, meow. Pops Whitebeard will definitely come."
"That's right, the compatriots in Zou will definitely lend a helping hand when they hear about the Kozuki Family's situation."
Nekomamushi and Inuarashi said affirmatively.
Denjiro remained noncommittal to Cat and Dog's Words, and then looked at Kikunojo and Kawamatsu.
"Kikunojo, you and Kawamatsu should go to Sea with Cat and Dog."
Hearing Denjiro's Words, Kikunojo and Kawamatsu were immediately stunned, and hurriedly wanted to say something, but before they could speak, they were interrupted by Denjiro waving his hand.
"Kikunojo, you and Izo haven't seen each other for a long time, go see him this time. In addition, if the situation in Wano Country is not right, you and Izo should live outside Wano Country together, and don't return to Wano Country again.
As for Kawamatsu, among us, only you can exert your Full Power on the Sea, and even over-perform, so the safety of Cat and Dog and Kikunojo will be entrusted to you.
Now then, everyone, let's Action!"
After speaking, Denjiro turned around and ran towards Flower Capital.
"I'm sorry, Kikunojo, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi."
In Denjiro's Eyes, there was first a hint of guilt, and then it was replaced by a firm determination.
His arrangements largely utilized his Companions.
He knew that although the Mink Tribe were once Brothers of the Kozuki Family, that was after all a long time ago, and even before Cat and Dog appeared, they had no idea that the Kozuki Family still had this Mink Tribe Brother.
Then vice versa, so many years have passed, even if the two sides were once Brothers, but now, would the Mink Tribe be willing to go to war with those three terrifying Weapons for the sake of the Kozuki Family?
So he asked Cat and Dog to go to Zou. As members of the Mink Tribe, Cat and Dog's Words were largely more effective than the Kozuki Family.
As for why Kikunojo was asked to go to Sea together, it was entirely because Kikunojo's Older Brother Izo was once a Kozuki Retainer, and now he might already be one of the Core Members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
According to Cat and Dog's Description of Whitebeard, even if Whitebeard was unwilling to take Action for the deceased Oden, would he refuse Izo's request?
Or rather, would he be willing to watch Izo die while knowing the situation in Wano Country?
After throwing the Thoughts in his mind out of his mind, Denjiro looked at the Flower Capital like doomsday, he knew that it would determine the Future direction of Wano Country.
"Lord Orochi is dead?"
Looking at the chaotic Battlefield, someone finally remembered Orochi who was sitting next to Kaido and Charlotte Linlin at that time.
In their opinion, Orochi would definitely not be able to withstand that kind of terrifying Attack.
However, at this moment, a heavy stone slab in a certain part of the Ruins formed by the Giant Shockwave was suddenly pushed open, rolled down the steep slope, and finally smashed into the Soil lifted by the Aftershock of the Battle.
Such obvious movement immediately attracted the attention of the Oniwabanshu of Orochi who were thinking about whether to find another Back Road.
They looked towards the source of the sound, and saw Orochi, whose Body was intact, crawling out of the Ruins.
Seeing this Scene, the expressions of the Oniwabanshu people were a little strange.
What was surprising was that Orochi was able to be unharmed under such circumstances, and what was gratifying was that Orochi had not been killed, which meant that they did not have to consider a Back Road for the time being.
The Oniwabanshu and others flashed and came to Orochi's side.
"No matter who destroyed this place…!!!"
Orochi, who came out of the Ruins, had bloodshot Eyes, gritted his teeth and looked at the Ruins in front of him, and thinking of the Lingering Pain like slow slicing at that time, he said with resentment: "I will make him wish he were dead!!!"
The Oniwabanshu remained Silence on the side, subconsciously looking at the Figures fighting in the center of Flower Capital.
Following the Gaze of the Oniwabanshu, Orochi also saw Nicholas who was fighting with Kaido and Charlotte Linlin and slashed Kaido away with one Move, and chose Silence.
