Chapter 269 Descent of Justice
Facing his son Momonosuke's cries, Kozuki Oden in the Oil Pot had no intention of comforting him at this moment.
"You few just stay quietly on the Wooden Plank, this is the Monarch's Order!"
As his words fell, Kozuki Oden stretched out both hands and suddenly grabbed the edge of the Execution Platform, using immense strength to directly tear off the Wooden Plank of the Execution Platform, raising it high above his head. On the Wooden Plank above his head were all the Retainer, Toki, and Momonosuke.
"Lord Kozuki Oden, stop!"
"No, we should be the ones holding you up!"
"Wuu wuu wuu, Lord Kozuki Oden, my Lord Kozuki Oden."
"Lord Kozuki Oden!"
"Lord Kozuki Oden!"
"Everyone, be quiet, this is Kozuki Oden's Order, are you going to disobey the Monarch's Order?"
Toki, surrounded by a group of Samurai, said with tears in her eyes.
"But…"
Kin'emon still wanted to say something.
"There's no 'buts'! Haven't you realized, Kozuki Oden intends to exchange his Life for your Lives!? Are you going to let Kozuki Oden down?"
Madam Toki interrupted Kin'emon and spoke to the surrounding Kozuki Retainers.
Hearing Madam Toki's words, everyone on the Wooden Plank fell silent.
Obviously, they also understood why Kozuki Oden had said those words to Kaido earlier.
"Mama, mama, mama, how touching."
Charlotte Linlin smiled as she watched everything in the arena.
"What does that mean? Those Retainer haven't been soaked in oil, how can they be considered to have entered the pot?"
Kurozumi Orochi, who most wanted to exterminate the Kozuki Clan, said dissatisfiedly when he saw the Kozuki Retainers being held up on the Wooden Plank by Kozuki Oden in the pot. Kaido might not care about these guys, but he, who had lost Kurozumi Higurashi and Semenmaru Kurozumi, was very afraid.
"Uro ro ro ro."
"Indeed, all twelve people have entered the pot, no problem."
"Kozuki Oden, is this your plan? But do you think your Armament Haki can allow you to stay in the Oil Pot for an hour!? I'm very much looking forward to it."
Kaido held a Wine Bowl, looked at Kozuki Oden struggling in the Oil Pot, and laughed loudly.
Sizzle!
Hot oil splashed onto Kozuki Oden's Upper Body that was not covered by Haki, and a harsh sound was immediately emitted.
Obviously, Kozuki Oden understood that if he fully covered the body parts in the Oil Pot with Haki, he would have a chance to last for an hour, but if he also covered other parts of his Body, he would definitely not be able to last that long.
"Only one minute has passed, there are still fifty-nine minutes left, hold on, Kozuki Oden. Uro ro ro ro…"
Kaido glanced at the Clock and said with a smile.
Soon, an hour was about to pass.
"Everyone, they won't let me go today no matter what, remember what I say!"
"Lord Kozuki Oden!"
"Shut up and listen to me quietly!"
Faced with Kozuki Oden's rare anger, all the Retainer shut their mouths.
"Toki, prepare yourself, take Momonosuke to the Future later, the Hope of Wano Country and the Hope of the World will all be on you! Not good!"
Just then, an Accident happened suddenly, an incomparably thick Attack fell from the Sky, covering the entire Execution Platform and everything around it.
On the Open Ground around the Execution Platform.
A group of people who came to watch the Boiling Pot Execution all looked up, their faces dumbfounded as they watched the Attack that fell from the Sky like Divine Punishment.
The Vibration like an earthquake that came from the soles of their feet, after it stopped, still remained in their hearts, making them unable to Calm down for a long time.
"That is… what?!"
Among the crowd of onlookers, a child looked at the Giant Ship suspended in the Sky in extreme Terror, and said in horror, obviously the Attack just now came from there.
They had only come to join in the Excitement, but they never expected to see such a shocking Scene.
The Giant Ship suspended in the Sky, and the Attack that was like Divine Punishment, as if to destroy everything.
These unbelievable scenes far exceeded the cognition of these Residents of Wano Country who had always been separated from the World.
Under such an Attack, the Execution Platform was reduced to Ruins.
The Vibration and Explosion wave caused by the violent collision destroyed many Building Complex in the vicinity.
"Princess Hiyori…"
Shinobu, shocked by the Scene of Heaven's Punishment, said to the girl beside her.
But she couldn't care so much at this moment.
Originally, they planned to go to White Dance, but on the way they encountered Orochi and the Beast Pirates Alliance who were attacking White Dance, and after hearing the News of the Execution of the Kozuki Family, they rushed back to Flower Capital overnight, wanting to find an Opportunity.
But unexpectedly, they saw this terrifying Scene.
"We must escape from here at the fastest Speed!"
Shinobu stared at Hiyori, her Tone full of solemnity.
Hiyori was slightly startled, she was also considering the Risk of continuing to stay in Flower Capital at this moment.
"Shinobu, but Father…"
"There is no Time for hesitation, if Life is gone, then everything is gone! Now Lord Kozuki Oden and the others' situation is unknown, you are the only Bloodline of the Kozuki Family, your safety must not be compromised."
Shinobu decisively clamped Hiyori, and in a few jumps, she jumped towards the Forest outside Flower Capital.
Shinobu also wanted to see the situation of Kozuki Oden and others who were in the center of the Attack.
But she couldn't afford to gamble.
When the Dust Cloud filling the Execution Ground had faintly dissipated a lot, the petrified Residents finally thought of running away.
A Riot ensued.
"Father!"
Momonosuke's heart-wrenching Sound rang out, because in front of him, Kozuki Oden used his broad back to help them block the wave of Attack just now.
"Lord Kozuki Oden!"
Kin'emon and others were horrified, because they could clearly feel that Kozuki Oden's Life Aura had dissipated. An hour of Boiling Pot Punishment, plus resisting that Attack just now, Kozuki Oden's Body could no longer hold on.
"Lord Momonosuke, we must leave now!"
Denjiro said to Momonosuke immediately after seeing the surrounding situation.
Kozuki Oden's death had a great impact on them, but they could not lose their composure in front of their Lord Momonosuke, they could only suppress the sadness in their hearts and try to remain Calm.
Now, with the Attack just now, it can be said that the scene is in chaos, which is the best Time to leave.
It's just a pity that their Lord Momonosuke is just a Kid who is only seven or eight years old.
Not to mention the Haki (Spirit) they expected like Kozuki Oden, his Look of being frightened out of his wits by the Boiling Pot Execution at this moment, he is simply unable to take on Anything.
Therefore, no matter how Calm they appeared, no matter how hard they tried to adjust the Atmosphere, they could not dispel the Fear in Momonosuke's heart.
Nicholas did not know.
This, in his opinion, was just an insignificant greeting, which frightened the Kid who was entrusted with Hope by the Red Scabbards, and also took away Kozuki Oden who was already nearing the end of his Life.
If he knew, he wouldn't care either.
Just an insignificant Kid, not worth him taking a second look, even Kozuki Oden who was killed by AOE was the same.
Soon Nicholas withdrew his Gaze and said calmly: "Bell-lin, go to White Dance and wait for me."
"Okay."
Bell-lin responded softly.
Then he controlled the Sea Monarch and headed towards White Dance.
The Residents fleeing in panic on the Street had no Time to notice what exactly happened at the scene.
"Nicholas!"
"Lightning bastard!"
Two voices that frightened the Red Scabbards sounded from behind, and then a few people ignored the distinction between Lord and Retainer. Kin'emon grabbed Momonosuke, while Kikunojo carried Toki on his shoulders, and Ashura Doji carried Kozuki Oden's Corpse on his back. A group of people ran wildly towards Kuri.
Only by returning to Kuri could they plan their next Action.
