Chapter 55: The Alien of the Flower Capital
"ââWhat is the meaning of this!?"
In the heart of the capital of Wano Country, the isolated nation of the New Worldâthe Flower Capitalâretainers serving the Kozuki Clan had been gathered under the orders of the acting shogun, Orochi. They had just been informed of a new decree.
Though they had harbored slight misgivings about why Kurozumi Orochiâwho claimed to be nothing more than a puppet, a placeholder until the return of the rightful heir and current daimyo of Kuri, Kozuki Odenâhad been chosen as the acting shogun, they had still been prepared to support him.
But this sudden, outrageous decree left them no choice but to speak out. In the grand hall, typically used for official meetings, the samurai demanded an explanation.
From his elevated seat, the acting shogun Orochi smirked and answered them with utter composure.
"Whatâs the meaning? Are your ears not working? I, the acting shogun, have given an order!! Establish weapon factories in every region of Wano!!"
"Why would we need such a thing!? With all due respect, we already have enough weapons!! The craftsmen in each region are highly skilled, and their numbersâ"
"I said itâs not enough!! Our country is isolated!! To protect ourselves from foreign villains, we need weapon factories!! And thatâs precisely whyâIâve also hired some⊠bodyguards⊠to defend the nation!!"
"W-What!? Are you saying our strength is insufficient!?"
"Thatâs exactly what Iâve been saying!! If you disagree⊠then prove it!! Take down the bodyguards I hired!!"
"ââWorororo⊠So these are the retainers of the Kozuki Clan?"
"!!!"
The moment Orochi barked those words at the Kozuki retainers, a massive manâeasily five times the size of a samuraiâemerged from the back, carrying a massive iron club. Two horns protruded from his head, and his face bore a vicious sneer. Dozens of subordinates followed behind him, all grinning mockingly at the samurai.
The samurai tensed, eyeing the giant man warily. He certainly looked strong. If he was hired as a bodyguard, his skill must be legitimate. But⊠the way he and his men looked down on them was unmistakable. The surrounding underlings jeered:
"Heheh, you gonna defy the acting shogun? In Wano, the shogunâs word is absolute, ainât it?"
"If ya resist, we ainât gonna hold back!! In the name of Lord Orochi!!"
"Though weâd welcome ya if ya swear loyalty to Lord Orochi and work properly!!"
"GYAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"TchâŠ!!"
The crude laughter of these men echoed through the hall. There was no mistaking itâthey were mocking them.
No samurai could listen to such insults without drawing their blades. Several of them, veins bulging on their foreheads, unsheathed their swords.
"What did you just say!? Say that again!!"
"Iâve had enough!! If thatâs how it is, then Iâll cut you down where you stand!!"
With that, the samurai clad their blades in RyuoâFlowing Sakuraâand fearlessly charged at the giant man. They were true warriors, steadfast men who had pledged loyalty to the Kozuki name. For years, they had protected this country, and by the standards of the outside world, they were among the strongest.
"ââ!!"
âŠBut⊠they didnât know.
They didnât knowâuntil the moment their blades struck the giantâs bodyâthat this man⊠was a monster.
"ââThe hell⊠is this all you got? So this is what samurai areâŠ!!"
"Whaâ!?"
"Oi⊠the swordsâŠ!!"
"Blades clad in Ryuo⊠just shattered�"
The instant they swung, the samurai witnessed something unbelievable.
Their Ryuoâtheir Armament Hakiâshould have allowed them to cut through even steel. Yet this man had stopped their swords with his bare flesh⊠and as a result, their blades had broken.
Orochi and his men watched with smirks, as if this outcome had been obvious.
That man⊠Kaido of the Beastsâcould not be harmed by half-baked Haki-infused attacks.
They knew. They knew his body was invincible. And his underlings knew exactly what happened to those who challenged him.
The samurai didnât know. They didnât know that a single swing of Kaidoâs iron club carried enough destructive force to obliterate warships⊠or reduce castles to rubble.
"!!!"
With that single strike, a samurai was sent flying straight through the castle walls, soaring into the distance.
ââIn the streets of the Flower Capital, a samuraiâs corpse fell from the sky. People would surely whisper that it was the work of a yokai.
"ââOi, whatâs wrong? Werenât you gonna prove itâŠ? Show me the strength of a samuraiâŠ!!!"
"Ugh⊠AhâŠ!!"
But that rumor wouldnât be entirely wrong.
The man who had painted the hall with the blood of dead and dying samuraiâhis strength was nothing short of supernatural. A demon? A monster? A beast?
This was no longer the work of man.
"GuhahaâHAHAHAHA!! As expected of Kaido!! Magnificent, absolutely magnificent!! To think youâd no-sell those hardened samuraiâs attacks and take them all down in a single blow!!"
"GYAHAHAHAHA!! So this is all samurai are worth!? Pathetic!!"
"Aw, câmon, donât say thatâitâs almost sad!! Itâs not that the samurai are weak⊠itâs just that Lord Kaidoâs too damn strong!!"
"Same damn difference!! GYAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Orochi couldnât help but rise to his feet, lavishing praise upon Kaidoâs overwhelming might. To his underlings, this was a familiar sight. No matter how strong their opponents were, angering their captain never ended well. Submit, and you might be spared. Resist, and hell awaited youâa gruesome spectacle, torture, becoming fodder for the beasts, or being toyed with until death. Having witnessed it all, his crew revered Kaido and his top commanders with a mix of awe and dread, treating his wrath as an absolute taboo.
But Kaido paid no mind to his menâs rowdy cheers. Instead, he let out a bored snort before grabbing one of the still-breathing samurai by the collar.
"Tch⊠Hey, youâŠ!!"
"Hah⊠Ugh⊠GhâŠ!?"
"If youâre still alive, then engrave this into your skull. And make sure the other samurai hear it too!! Anyone who defies Orochi answers to me. Man, woman, childâI donât give a damn who it is. Iâll kill âem allâŠ!!!"
"!!! A-AhâŠ!!"
The samurai could only nod weakly. Against this monster, they were powerless.
And then, Kaido uttered something that made them doubt their earsâ
"WORORORO⊠Right about now, my reliable allies and crew oughta be raising hell tooâŠ!!"
"TchâŠ!!"
Those words spelled nothing but despair.
Kaido wasnât the only monster.
There were more.
The Beast Pirates, with their vast numbers and terrifying commanders, were even now carving their strength and terror into Wanoâs fleshâlaying the foundation for Orochiâs reign with blood and brutality.
The capital of Wano, the Flower Capital, was a city built in a grid-like pattern, with the grand avenue stretching from the castle gates to the southern gate as its center. To its left and right lay the districts of Sakyo and Ukyoâorderly, symmetrical, and meticulously planned.
It was spring. During the day, townsfolk worked, and by evening, most returned to their row houses for supper. Some indulged in the pleasure quarters with courtesans, others drank with friends, and a few stopped by the public baths to wash off the dayâs sweat. It was often said that the people of the Flower Capital didnât carry money overnightâbecause even a few hours of labor was enough to live comfortably.
âŠAt least, thatâs how it was in places I knew that resembled this. Whether Wano was truly like that, I couldnât say for sure. But it probably wasnât far off. Not that it mattered. If I was wrong, Iâd learn soon enough. And if I didnât like it, I could always change it.
"What is the meaning of this?! Weapon factories in every region?!"
"And you expect us to serve under that upstart Orochi?! Never!! We might have bowed to the Kozuki, but why in hell would we submit to him?!"
"Outsiders!! You dare mock the samurai?! Even if youâre a girl, we wonât hold back!!"
"Faaah⊠nnnh."
I couldnât help but yawn. Right in front of all these samurai, too. How careless of me. Not that my yawns arenât cuteâbut an idol shouldnât let herself be seen like this. Maybe I ate a little too much and got sleepy. Or maybe itâs because these samurai⊠donât seem all that strong. Theyâre loud, sure, but thatâs about it.
Though, Iâll admitâIâm impressed so many of them know Ryuo (what they call Haki here). Even in the Grand Line, few nations have soldiers who can wield it. Most are just weaklings. But in Wano, even random foot soldiers can coat their blades. Do they teach it in sword schools or something? Mysterious.
As the samurai raged, the crew Iâd brought along fired back. Probably because they felt insulted on my behalf. Their voices burned with conviction.
"Hey, hey⊠You backwater hicks, just who the hell do you think youâre talking to?!"
"The one standing before you is none other than the Vice-Captain of the Beasts Pirates!! The sworn sibling of Captain Kaido himself, with a bounty exceeding 1 billion berriesâthe 'Phantom Beast,' Nue-sama!!"
"You little shits better watch your mouths!! We donât even need Nue-sama to step inâweâll crush you ourselves!!"
"Heheh⊠How about we decorate the streets with your heads as a warning?"
"What did you say�!"
Oh, the samurai are mad now. Hmm, my crewâs pretty fired up. Then again, most of the ones I brought are Devil Fruit users, so it canât be helped. The Beasts Pirates are already full of bloodthirsty fighters, but the ones here? All Zoan users. The power of beastsâpredators, dinosaursâamplifies their ferocity, leaving them itching for a fight.
---Normally, Iâd let them run wild for fun, but todayâs different. So I called them off.
"Heyyy~!! Not yet, you guys. Weâve got things to say first. Besides⊠todayâs my Wano debut. No unnecessary messes, okay?"
"Ugh⊠S-Sorry!"
"My badâŠ"
The moment I lightly scolded them, they flinched like scolded dogs, shoulders slumping or scratching their heads in apology. Good, good. Theyâre obedient. They might be beasts, but thatâs exactly why they donât defy the packâs leader. The law of the wildâand of pirates. Hierarchy matters. And honestly, Iâm on the nicer side. Kingâs way stricter. And if they ever disrespect me or Kaido, theyâll get a reminder of their place.
Anyway, now that my crewâs settled, letâs wrap this up. I turned my smile back to the samurai.
"âNow, where were we? Oh right~! Orochiâs looking for samurai to serve under him. So, rĆnin in the capital? Perfect candidates! Doesnât that sound nice? Good pay, riding the winning horse, doing whatever you want from now on. See? Sounds fun, right?"
"Tch⊠Shut your mouth!! We ainât becoming some damn bureaucrats!! And who the hell even are you?! Why would an outsider be sent by OrochiâŠ?!"
"Us Beasts Pirates? Think of us as Orochiâs⊠backup. His scary little bodyguards. 'Cross Orochi, and you cross us too~' That kind of deal. So if you refuse to join⊠well~ Iâll just have to show you the difference in our strength âĄ"
"Difference in strength?! Donât fuck with us!!"
"Enough talkâŠ!! Weâll cut you down where you stand!!"
Oh, theyâre mad now. The moment I said that with a smile, the samurai drew their swordsâand my crew flinched back in fear. Heheh, seems like theyâre more scared of me than the samurai. How rude. Iâm not so shameless that Iâd drag them into this. Iâm not drunk like Kaido.
But holding back because of them is annoying, so maybe they should step back. The nightâs falling anyway. As I glanced at the samurai and the nosy onlookers in the crowd, I couldnât help but smirk.
"âArenât you afraid of yĆkai?"
"âŠYĆkai? What nonsense!!"
"YĆkai?! What kind of samurai fears fairy tales?!"
"Exactly!! Those are just tricks and illusions, nothing more!!"
The moment I mentioned yĆkai, the samurai froze, then scoffed at the idea. How brave. But⊠good. So the concept exists here. And even betterâthey donât believe in them. Not that it matters whether they do. Because Iâll make them believe.
In this country, Devil Fruit powers are called "sorcery"âyoujutsuâbecause they seem like dark arts. So their users are branded as sorcerers.
But for a Zoan user like me?
If they want to call it sorcery, fine.
But thereâs another word that fits even better.
âYĆkai.
"Fufufu⊠AhahahahaâŠ!!"
"W-Whatâs so funny?!"
"W-Wait!! Whatâs that on that girlâs backâŠ?!"
"Are those⊠wings? But such grotesque thingsâ Donât tell me sheâs a sorcerer?!"
ââJust moments ago, I had deliberately concealed my wings, but now I revived them in a bestial form. As I rose into the air, I sensed the shift in the atmosphere among the samurai and addressed them coldly:
"Then why donât you test it yourselves? You humans whoâve forgotten the terror of yĆkaiâŠ!"
Not that Iâd actually let them confirm anything, of course. I am the unknown. Itâs precisely because they canât comprehend me that they fear me.
ââBut tonight, Iâm feeling generous. After all, this is Wano Country. Iâll be spending plenty of time here from now on, so why not treat them to a proper show?
"Let me give you a taste of the unknown."
"!!? S-She vanished!!?"
"Wh-Where the hell did she go�!"
"Ugh⊠Iâve got chillsâŠ!"
With that, I dissolved into the darkness first.
Then, to truly instill fear in them, I unleashed my sorcery. A technique that emerges in the peaceful capital, threatening its peopleâ
"âââNightmare of Heian-kyĆ.â"
When the veil of night fell over the flowered capital⊠the anomaly began.
Even in the distant streets far from the scene, people sensed itâsomething was undeniably different tonight.
"Itâs spring, yet itâs oddly chillyâŠ"
"Yeah. Letâs grab a drink and warm upâ Huh?"
The pedestrians suddenly noticed the strangeness. Enveloping their path as if to swallow them wholeâ
"Black mist�"
"Wh-What the hell is this?"
Yes. Black mist. An inexplicable phenomenon that shouldnât occur naturally.
But the inexplicable didnât stop there. Even those far from the disturbance could hear it.
"ââââ!!"
"!!? That cry just now�!"
"A birdâŠ? No, a beastâŠ? Iâve never heard anything like itâŠ"
"Gives me the creepsâŠ"
It was an indescribable sound, shrouded in mystery.
Was it a bird? A tiger? A monkey? A fox? A komainu or a baboon? No one could tell.
Yet, upon hearing it, the people shuddered, rubbing their goosebump-covered skin as an uneasy dread took hold. They quickened their steps, hurrying home to ask othersâWhat was that sound?
Strangely, the answers varied. Some insisted it was a bird, others a tiger, and some stubbornly claimed it was a snake.
It didnât sound human. Then it must be some beastâs cry. There had to be a correct answerâsomething had to be wrong.
But the truth was the opposite. That sound was all of themâits form shifting based on who heard it⊠That was its nature.
The wise realized it matched no known beast, and soon, rumors spread through the capital. Eventually, it came to be feared as:
ââThe cry of the Nue.
When black mist filled the capital and that sound echoed, it was said the Nue had appearedâa harbinger of devouring souls. And that it erased those inconvenient to Kurozumi Orochi, swallowing them into darkness.
Separate from the fear of the pirate Kaido, who loomed behind Orochi, the terror of his sworn siblingâthe pirate Nueâtook root deep in the hearts of the capitalâs people.
They commanded countless beasts, crushing all who opposed Orochi without exception. And this nightâwas the first time that truth was made known.
ââThe samurai who first fell victim, and the townsfolk caught in the crossfire⊠Pitiful didnât even begin to describe it.
"Hah⊠HahâŠ!!"
Through the back alleys of the flowered capital at night, a samurai sprinted desperately, a sword at his waist.
But his face was pale and weak. A samurai facing battle should be fierce, his eyes burning with resolve. Yet this manâs expression was worse than a beggarâsâhis eyes drowning in terror.
He had seen it. The monster lurking in the black mistâno, the yĆkai. Its bizarre, cruel sorcery.
And worst of all⊠he had glimpsed its true form. Not fully, but enough.
So he ran. Like a coward. His comrades had fled too. Theyâd tried to fight at first but quickly realized it was hopeless.
Butâthis yĆkai wasnât kind enough to let them escape.
"ââGYAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
"EekâŠ!!?"
Another one. The death cry of a strong man echoed through the night.
Yet this was better than before. The screams had been a chorus earlier. Now, their dwindling numbers meant most were already dead.
âŠOr so he hoped. Because the alternative was too terrifying to bear.
He kept running. Trying to escapeâuntilâ
"GAAAH!!!"
"âŠ!!"
A man stumbled into the alley aheadâanother samurai fleeing the scene. Then a red laser seared through him, dropping him instantly.
The samurai froze, watching the crimson light. He didnât moveânot out of paralysis, but calculation.
He had seen this techniqueâs nature. And the fallen man was no ordinary warriorâhe was a master of RyĆ«Ć, the rare art of foresight.
In Wano, most who wielded Ryëà coated their blades or fists with it. But this advanced formâpredicting an opponentâs movementsâwas near-legendary, a realm of true masters.
This samurai wasnât quite a master, but years of training had granted him a glimpse of that foresight.
"Sh-Sheâs comingâŠ!!?"
Thatâs why he knewâthe red light would shift, morphing into a blazing lantern-like projectile to hunt him down.
But that wasnât what truly terrified him.
Noâit was the beast charging from behind.
"GRROOOOOH!!!"
ăâŠâŠïŒïŒă
The man risked a fleeting glance behind him. Chasing after him with bestial roars were monstrous yokaiâcreatures bearing the traits of multiple beasts.
That was the true terror. Darting through the gaps between crimson beams, swarming every last street of the Flower Capital, were packs of ravenous beasts.
Those creatures seized anyone slowed by the scarlet rays or energy blasts, tearing into them with razor-sharp claws and fangsâor devouring them whole. A nightmarish reality where such monsters existed in numbers. No matter how much one dodged or fled, there was no end. The weak, the exhausted, the immobilizedâthey were slaughtered one after another. Most had perished within the first few seconds.
"Hah⊠Hah⊠If I can just⊠keep goingâ"
Yet this swordsman clung to life, tears welling in his eyes as he pushed himself beyond mortal limits. When cornered, humans can summon unimaginable strengthâand right now, he was proving it.
But⊠he had no way of knowing.
The truly fortunate ones were those who died at the startâthose pierced by the crimson beams, the lasers, the searing blasts.
No one could have known. Even beyond these shores, few understood.
Surviving this initial onslaught only meant one thing⊠the real horror lay ahead.
"âAhaha!! Youâre pretty good~ âȘ"
"GhâŠ!! Wh⊠whatâ!?"
The man, after what felt like an eternity of fleeing, heard the voice of a sweet, almost endearing girl. Under normal circumstances, it might have been pleasant. But his face remained pallid, drained of blood.
His gaze turned upward. Above the mist-shrouded town loomed an enormous shadow.
"Congratulations!! Not many dodge this far, yâknow! Probably! âSo hereâs your reward~ âĄ"
"Ah⊠ah⊠ahâŠ!!"
His jaw slackened, his legs gave out. All he could do was stare up at the colossal monstrosity.
This beast dwarfed the earlier monsters by dozens of times.
Fifty meters tall. A face wreathed in black, flame-like mane. The limbs of a tiger. Wings of a bird. A tail of emerald serpents.
Thanks to the black mist and its sheer enormity, many had glimpsed its silhouetteâbut only this man had seen it directly from below. And in that moment, he understood:
This was no mere yokai.
That girlâher appearance was a lie. Inside lurked an unspeakable horror. A merciless beast.
And now, that beast declared it would reward him, sending something white and birdlike plunging into his body. He thought heâd diedâbut no. He lived. He kept living. He wanted to die, yet the terror persisted. The monster spoke again:
"Youâll be my little witness. So~ I wonât⊠kill⊠you⊠âĄ"
"âŠâŠ!!"
The manâs heart seized, his teeth chattering in frozen dread. He couldnât speak.
The monster vanishedâgone as abruptly as it appeared. Something so massive shouldnât disappear so easily, leaving doubt if it was ever there at all.
But the scars it left, the terror etched into his soulâthose were real.
As the black mist cleared, the Flower Capitalâs nightscape returned. Yet the wreckage, the corpses, the maimed survivorsâall bore witness to the nightmare.
That day, the surviving swordsman couldnât return home. He spent the night sleepless, and by dawn, he and the other survivors spread warnings of the horror theyâd faced.
His words came in frantic bursts, his demeanor swinging between manic and desolate. "Do not defy the Beasts Pirates behind Orochi," he pleaded. "Especially the girl called âNueââsheâs a monster." Some claimed she was even more terrifying than the one they called "Kaido."
The rumors spread like wildfire across the Flower Capital.
Three days later, his corpse was found in the streets.
No one could say if heâd been killed⊠or if heâd taken his own life.
The people of the Flower Capital would later remember this tragedy by a single name:
"The Nightmare of the Flower Capital."
"Hell yeah~~~!! A toast to the Beasts Pirates' grand debut in Wano Countryâcheers!!!"
"Worororo... Annoying how weak those samurai were, but can't complain if things go smooth."
"True... The samurai werenât as strong as Iâd hoped. Boring bunch so far."
"Muhaha!! Just getting to eat this oshiruko made the trip worth it!! Damn, this is too good~~~~!!!"
"The ninja had some fun tricks, but strength-wise? Meh. Disappointing."
"Gufufu!! Youâve all done well!! Drink and eat as much as you want tonight!!"
"Didnât need permission~âȘ"
Inside the Flower Capitalâs castle, thanks to Orochiâs arrangements, our Beasts Pirates were throwing a small celebration. The tables groaned under the weight of Wanoâs finest dishes and sakeâall exquisite. Queen, in particular, had fallen hard for a dessert called oshiruko, already on his third helping. Iâd grab some later too. Looked delicious.
"Hey, the mochi in oshiruko kinda looks like eyeballs when itâs round, right?"
"Bleeeghâ?! Ugh, cut it out, Nue! Now I canât unsee it!!"
"Ahaha! Sorry~âȘ But imagine if we made it actually look like eyeballs? Bet itâd be a hit!"
"Like hell it would!! No way inâ!!"
"Shut it, Queen. Crying over eyeballs? Pathetic."
"Screw you, King!! Bet you wouldnât eat it either!!"
"Wanna test that? We could toss in Higurashiâs eyeballs."
"Mine?! N-no, theyâre rottenâ"
"Semimaruâs will do."
"...Barrier."
A sharp pluck of his biwa, and a black barrier enveloped Kurozumi Semimaru. As a Paramecia user of the Bari Bari no Mi, he could conjure impenetrable shieldsâliterally invincible. Even Kaido and I had tested it; not a scratch. Might be the ultimate defensive power. Total cheat. Rumor had it his barriers operated on conceptual logic, making them immune to physical force. Worth experimenting with later.
As I mused, Smoothieâelegantly nibbling sashimiâdipped tuna into soy sauce and spoke up.
"More importantly, whatâs next?"
"Kyokyokyo! Even after todayâs lesson, resistance lingers! The Flower Capital still has its yakuza like 'Hyogoro the Flower,' and defiant samurai! The other regions are no better!"
"But those types cling to honor... With the Shogunâs proxy authority, theyâll hesitate to rebel outright. They loathe chaos and harm to civilians..."
"Quit dancing around it. Just say what needs doing."
Kaido gulped sake, cutting off Higurashi and Semimaru. Orochi, wearing a grin tinged with unease, stepped in.
"The real issue is after conscripting men for the weapon factories... The daimyo might rally their samurai against us! So we must teach every region the same lessonâshow them our strength and terror!!"
"Shouldâve led with that."
"Five regions beyond the capital: Kibi, Ringo, Hakumai, Udon, and Kuri. Ruled by the Amatsuki, Uzuki, Shimotsuki, FĆ«getsu, and KĆzuki clans."
"Kyokyokyo! Well-informed, as expected."
"Itâs my specialty~âĄ"
Stussy rattled off intelâprobably gathered while handling ninja. Impressive as always. But Semimaru, strumming his biwa, clarified further.
"Among them, the strongest samurai in Wano serves the Shimotsuki of Hakumai... Thus, Kaido-sama should head thereâ"
"Worororo... Then we crush âem next. Split the rest however. Weâll take crews and clean house."
"Ooh, me! I call Kuri!! Thatâs where Kozuki Oden ruled, right?!"
"Aye... Heâs gone, but his retainers are tough. Gotta stamp them out fast..."
"Then it's settledâKaido heads to Hakumai!"
With Semimaruâs suggestion accepted, the assignments fell into place. Each of us would lead forces to one of the five regionsâand I immediately raised my hand for Kuri. Orochi nodded stiffly, fear flickering in his eyes. Heh. Perfect chance to meet Odenâs famed retainers. Sounds like the most fun.
"Kuriâs mine, then~âȘ"
"Go wild. Rest of you, pick wherever." Kaido waved a dismissive hand.
"Anywhere. These samuraiâs limits are clear. Crushing rebels is all that matters." Kingâs voice was ice.
"Same. Guess Iâll take Udon. Got stuff to grab from the ships anyway." Queen shrugged.
"Iâll handle Kibi. Ringoâs too cold for my taste." Stussy smirked.
"Then King gets Ringo!!" I chimed in.
"...Fine."
"Gufufu! With this, weâll tighten our grip!" Orochi clapped, though his grin wavered.
"Kyokyokyo! Weâll prepare a warm welcome for them!!"
"Next phase starts now."
Amidst the clinking of sake cups, our plans solidified.
âAnd I? Iâd march on Kuri.
The mere thought of Odenâs loyalists twisting in despair?
Delicious.
