Flower City, General's Mansion:
General Orochi sat comfortably on a recliner, with a charming little beauty beside him giving him a massage.
Behind the screen, there was a singing girl playing music for him.
The table in front was filled with delicacies and fine wine.
Fukurokushou and a group of Oniwabanshu stood respectfully by his side, protecting Kurozumi Orochi as bodyguards at any time.
Opposite Kurozumi Orochi, several men in white robes and masks were silent.
They were members of CP0, the highest intelligence agency of the World Government. As direct subordinates of the Celestial Dragons, they were not under the jurisdiction of the Navy and only obeyed the orders of the Celestial Dragons, the twenty queens who established the Holy Land.
They didn't speak, and Orochi didn't speak either, just waiting for the other's temper.
"General, we are here to explore business with you, please be serious!"
Finally, a CP0 intelligence officer couldn't help but speak.
"Are you ordering me?"
Orochi waved his hand, and the female attendants on both sides retreated sensibly.
"I dare not. I am just reminding you that this transaction is of great importance."
The CP0 member wearing a round mask said in a deep voice.
"I don't want Wano Country to be founded, and neither do you. Isn't it a ridiculous joke to buy weapons from pirates to fight against pirates?"
"The underground arms dealer Doflamingo, who served as the intermediary, is no longer here. You have lost your fig leaf and can only negotiate with us directly."
"You are very anxious! We are the ones who can take advantage of others' misfortune."
"So, be careful with your words."
Orochi casually took out a pistol and wiped it gently.
"You!"
The green-haired CP0 was about to take action, but the CP0 wearing a top hat held his shoulder and shook his head.
"Mr. Orochi, that being said, the price you offered before was a bit too much."
The leader of the CP0 team said in a deep voice. Although he didn't want to entangle with Orochi anymore, he had to carry out the task assigned by the superiors.
"We in Wano Country are able to achieve self-sufficiency. Look at everyone in the country. They are very happy, right? If there is anything else we want, it is more power!"
"It's just a few dozen warships. The Celestial Dragons are so rich, they can afford this little money! The next time you want it, it will be Dr. Vegapunk."
Orochi smiled jokingly, and he didn't seem to worry that the CP0 team would not agree to the extra money.
"This is impossible!"
a CP0 shouted angrily.
Bang!
The dark muzzle of the gun rolled up thick smoke, and the shouting CP0 officer fell directly into a pool of blood.
"You!"
The other two companions stood up and glared at Orochi.
The black charcoal Orochi blew the thick smoke from the muzzle of the gun slowly and smiled faintly.
"Celestial Dragons? Navy? We don't fear theme. Behind us is the Four Emperors Kaido, and there are only two ways to enter Wano Country. You can try to attack. No matter how many warships there are, we can take them all."
"Kaido was captured by Vegapunk for human experiments, and he still hates you Celestial Dragons! If you want to get the seastone weapons of Wano Country, you can only go through me. Yeah ha ha ha ha!"
Orochi's tone did not leave any tone of negotiation, and the remaining two CP0 members were silent.
What Orochi said was the truth, and they could only trade with Orochi.
Even if they turned against Orochi now and were killed, the higher-ups would only arrange another group of CP members to negotiate with Orochi.
"This batch of weapons is not a small number, and warships are not so easy to build. We need to discuss it with the top leaders again."
The CP0 leader said in a deep voice.
"No problem, but next time, I hope the warships can add this number, or the same number of devil fruits, yeah ha ha ha ha!"
Orochi slowly stretched out five fingers and smiled faintly.
"Let's go."
The CP0 leader shouted and left with the rest of the members.
...
Around Wano Country:
On the barren land, Kaido and his four companions walked slowly on the avenue.
The surrounding land has been abandoned, and often skinny poor people come to beg for food and water.
"Lord Kaido, why do we have to dress like this?"
Ulti twisted her slender waist.
The white shirt, black miniskirt, and white stockings made her feel awkward.
"This is called a sailor suit, and Ulti looks good in it!"
Wang Teng said with a faint smile, wearing a half-face mask covering his eyes.
"Do people outside wear clothes like this?"
On the other side, Yamato, wearing a purple sun hat and a purple Lolita dress, also murmured a little unaccustomed.
"Well, most of them are like this."
Wang Teng laughed to hide his thief-like eyes.
After driving along the coast for a long time, the four finally saw the outline of the city.
Osdelga is a coastal kingdom.
Recently, because the king levied excessive taxes to prepare for the preparation of Heavenly Gold and join the World Government.
As a result, the people suffered and many people starved to death.
Then riots broke out in the city, causing panic in the entire kingdom.
Along the way, Yamato learned about the despicable deeds of the Celestial Dragons and had classified both the Celestial Dragons and pirates as big villains.
"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant for dinner."
At noon, Wang Teng looked at the scorching sun and took the four people into a tavern that looked pretty good.
"What would you like to order, sir?"
The lovely saleswoman walked to Wang Teng's side and asked politely.
"Order all the good dishes and get a few bottles of good wine."
Wang Teng simply glanced at the menu and found that there were only about twenty dishes in total, so he simply ordered them all.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
Soon, a table full of dishes was served.
Wang Teng paid the bill generously and gave the young lady a little tip.
Then he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Ulti's bowl: "Ulti, try this, it's delicious."
"Thank you."
Ulti said gratefully. They had been without parents since childhood. It was Kaido who raised them and gave them devil fruits to make them stronger.
"Page one, you also have a piece. You are growing up now. Look at how thin you are. Which girl would like it?"
Ulti didn't eat it, but picked up the meat in the bowl and gave it to her brother.
"Sister, I can eat it myself."
Page one didn't buy it at all and muttered.
"Ulti, this roasted lamb is also delicious, you try it."
Wang Teng then picked up some dishes for Ulti, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Why do you always pick up dishes for her to eat?"
Looking at the three people who were pushing each other, Yamato curled his lips unhappily.
"You kid, Ulti is a girl, so what's wrong with me giving way to a girl!"
Wang Teng shook his head and sighed slightly.
"Me too..."
Yamato was just about to say that she was a girl, but she had always regarded herself as a boy for the past 20 years, and she was speechless for a while.
"Puff!"
Looking at Yamato's frustrated look, Ulti smiled triumphantly and happily accepted Wang Teng's feeding.
The look in her eyes towards Yamato was still a bit teasing.
"Stinky old man, I don't want to eat anymore."
Yamato pouted and protested.
"Really not eating anymore?"
Wang Teng looked at the angry Yamato, with a smile on his face.
"Not eating anymore."
"Okay, I'll eat. Ah, this skewer is quite fragrant, and this wine is not bad. Come on, Page one, let's have one."
Wang Teng grabbed the wine and food on the table and tasted them carefully.
"You!"
Yamato puffed her lips and simply closed her eyes, as the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any soup for oden?"
After three rounds of drinks, Wang Teng called the waiter to ask.
"Sir, we don't have that kind of soup here."
The waiter said apologetically.
"This is OK, take it and help me make a pot of soup."
Wang Teng took out a bag of spices from the sack he brought with him. The ingredients in it were just right for making oden soup.
The waitress was stunned. She didn't expect that guests would bring their own ingredients when they went out.
"By the way, do you have fish balls here?"
Just as the waitress was about to leave, Wang Teng stopped her again.
"Sir, we don't have it here..."
"This is also OK."
Wang Teng smiled and took out fish balls from the bag again.
"Please put this in the soup and cook it."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then showed a professional smile.
"You said that you hotel owners don't have everything you want. By the way, bamboo wheels and sea king meat should be available!"
Wang Teng shook his head with regret, and the waitress wanted to hit him.
If Wang Teng hadn't paid 10,000 Baileys before, she really wanted to curse.
"Sir, we really don't have this. You won't have it again, will you?"
The veins on the waitress's forehead wrinkled slightly.
"Ahem, my kid likes this. Take these ingredients to cook!"
Seeing that the waitress was angry, Wang Teng simply stopped making fun of her and took out all the ingredients he got from the chef on Onigashima Island.
"Please wait."
The waitress smiled kindly and ran away with the ingredients without looking back.
After a while, a pot of steaming hot oden was served.
"Daughter, don't you want to eat? If you don't eat it, the dish will get cold."
Wang Teng smiled at Yamato and smiled.
Stinky old man, even if I starve to death, I will not eat any more of your food.
Yamato thought to herself, and her stomach still cried out.
Forget it, next time.
In the end, Yamato still couldn't resist the temptation of food. After all, it was her favorite oden.
Stinky old man, don't think I will forgive you just like this.
Yamato thought to herself, but she grabbed a bunch of fish balls and ate them heartily.
"Delicious, delicious."
Yamato ate very happily. She had never eaten so full since she was a child.
She saw the conversation between Wang Teng and the waiter. When she thought that her father actually knew her favorite food and brought it on the road, Yamato's cold heart slowly felt a warm current.
Father... Father still loves me, but I always call myself Kozuki Oden, which makes him unhappy.
Yamato thought to herself, she didn't realize that her concept was changing a little.
Bang!
At this moment, something unexpected happened, and the door of the hotel was kicked open.
A scarred man walked in with a group of younger brothers.
"I'm a bandit nearby, but I'm not here to make trouble. I want to buy all the wine in the store."
The bandit was arrogant and threw a bag of gold coins on the counter.
"Excuse me, sir, the wine here has just been sold out by that gentleman."
The waiter looked apologetic and pointed to the two large boxes of red wine stacked in the direction of Wang Teng.
The bandit turned around and looked at Wang Teng not far away.
"Excuse me, Little bro, how about I give this bottle to you."
Wang Teng picked up a bottle of red wine and generously handed it over.
The bandit was stunned, and then his face darkened.
Bang!
The bottle in Wang Teng's hand was smashed by the bandit's punch, and the bright red wine splashed on Wang Teng's face.
Wang Teng was dumbfounded. Are all the bandits in One Piece so brave?
