One Piece: My Descendants All Become Monsters

Kozuki Sukiyaki stood up.

The pressure around his entire body sank to an extremely terrifying level.

"Say that again!"

"What did you say?"

As Kozuki Sukiyaki spoke like this, the atmosphere became even more terrifying.

Amatsuki Hyogoro and Amatsuki Hana both remained silent.

This matter.

They had also received confirmation of it. Both of them were completely unable to believe it, but disbelief was still disbelief.

In a situation where this was already fact, there was fundamentally no way to explain it. The two of them remained silent, unable to say anything.

"Shogun-sama!" Fukurokuju knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "The Shimotsuki clan discovered Oden-dono's corpse during the ancestral ceremony. Moreover, after comparing the wounds, it was confirmed to be the exquisite swordsmanship of the Shimotsuki clan's sword style. Outsiders absolutely could not have learned it."

"…"

Kozuki Sukiyaki's entire body was even trembling.

"Shogun-sama!"

"Shogun-sama!"

The three of them were all extremely tense.

"Shogun-sama!" Fukurokuju continued at this moment, "The daimyo of Kuri, Seimei, has already arrived. He is requesting an audience."

Kozuki Sukiyaki wanted to directly tell him to get lost.

However!

After suppressing himself slightly, he held back his rage and said calmly, "Let him in. Fukurokuju, investigate this for me. Investigate it carefully. No matter what, I must know exactly what happened."

Fukurokuju prepared to withdraw.

Kozuki Sukiyaki was clearly burning with rage.

However.

He still maintained his rationality. After all, Kozuki Sukiyaki was not an idiot. He was very clear that such a situation was basically impossible under normal circumstances. Of course, that was only under normal circumstances. In reality, some matters were truly difficult to say.

Precisely because of that.

This was the inevitable result.

Of course.

Another reason Kozuki Sukiyaki could still remain calm enough was that Kozuki Oden was his son, and also the son whose extraordinary talent he had always been proud of. But his own age was not that old. If necessary, he could simply have another child. This was not a major issue.

Only…

All of this was not the end.

Quite the opposite!

This was only the beginning.

Accompanied by gentle footsteps, Seimei walked in wearing a blue-and-white haori. This elegant young boy had white long hair and a smile on his face.

"Hm?"

Looking at Seimei, Kozuki Sukiyaki was slightly stunned. Then, as if he had suddenly reacted, he cried out in shock, "No, you are someone from the Kurozumi clan?!"

"Kozuki Sukiyaki-sama."

"You recognized my identity?"

Seimei wore a smile, but asked strangely, "That seems somewhat unreasonable. How did you recognize it?"

Seimei found it very strange.

Unscientific!

This…

He felt that this was very bizarre. If there was some special ability, Higurashi should have discovered it long ago.

Why had his identity been recognized?

Only…

The instant Kozuki Sukiyaki opened his mouth, Amatsuki Hyogoro and Amatsuki Hana both stood up at the same time. The two of them were already prepared to act. Their sharp gazes flickered as they stared at Seimei, and they did not dare show the slightest carelessness.

Because…

"Fukurokuju?!"

Kozuki Sukiyaki looked in disbelief at the man who had placed a blade against his neck. His eyes widened, and he could not believe that among all the children he had chosen himself, the one he regarded as the most loyal member of the Oniwabanshu would betray him at this moment.

"Shogun-sama," Fukurokuju said calmly, "this subordinate's name is also Kurozumi. Perhaps this is fate. Back then, my parents died beneath the blades of your Kozuki clan, while I survived."

Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Amatsuki Hyogoro.

Amatsuki Hana.

All three of them fell silent.

What the hell was this?!

The Oniwabanshu?

The force most loyal to the shogun, like his personal white gloves?

One of their elderly leaders was actually someone from the Kurozumi clan?

This…

This was simply absurd, alright?

It was already fundamentally impossible to understand!

Why had things become like this?

"Kozuki Sukiyaki-shogun."

Seimei did not care about the suddenly quiet atmosphere. Instead, he walked step by step toward Kozuki Sukiyaki and asked curiously, "I am very curious. Why did you recognize that I am someone from the Kurozumi clan? Of course, I am not a member of the Kurozumi clan. My father is named Edward Ike, and I am named Edward Seimei. I am a member of the Edward Family."

Amatsuki Hyogoro and Amatsuki Hana reacted instantly.

If there was no mistake…

This time!

This incident, this change, was actually an invasion by outsiders.

Kozuki Sukiyaki, however, had no intention of hiding anything. Instead, he said weakly, "Very simple! Your grandmother was an honored daughter of the Kozuki clan, and also one of my elder sisters. Back then, she disappeared for unknown reasons and gave birth to a daughter. And you look three parts similar to her."

When Seimei heard this, he had clearly not expected that his mother's side would have such a special identity.

However…

He belonged to his father.

He was a member of the Edward Family. That was enough.

As for everything else?

Unimportant.

This was not anything important.

Seimei thought for a moment, then said with interest, "Kozuki Sukiyaki-shogun, as expected! Back then, the Kozuki clan did not exterminate everything cleanly."

"If I calculate seniority…"

"You are my…"

"Forget it."

Seimei smiled and shook his head. "Calculating this kind of seniority is far too troublesome. The best result for the Kozuki clan is destruction. I am not interested in such things."

"After all," Seimei continued, "I am a member of the Edward Family. At most, I can also be considered someone from the Kurozumi clan, but I can absolutely never be someone from the Kozuki clan."

"Alright." Seimei said very calmly, "Has the entire shogun's residence been taken under control?"

Along with the sound of blood dripping to the ground, an aged figure walked in step by step. It was Higurashi. She held a samurai blade, and its tip was dripping blood as she said excitedly, "Young Master, everything has already been handled. The entire shogun's residence has been completely brought under our control."

Kurozumi Higurashi looked deeply at Kozuki Sukiyaki and said excitedly, "Old bastard, I truly did not expect it. Your Kozuki clan actually prepared this much to deal with the Kurozumi clan."

Kozuki Sukiyaki merely snorted coldly and stared deeply at Higurashi. "You are the member of the Kurozumi clan who managed things overseas?"

"That is no longer important." Higurashi said coldly, "Shogun-sama, it is time for you to rest properly."

After saying that.

Kurozumi Higurashi sized up Kozuki Sukiyaki, then directly walked over and touched him slightly.

The next moment.

She instantly transformed into Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Kurozumi Higurashi, now transformed into Kozuki Sukiyaki, let out a sharp laugh and said excitedly, "This should be enough. Capture Amatsuki Hyogoro and Amatsuki Hana. Take control of the entire Flower Capital in the shortest possible time."

"Yes!"

Fukurokuju, Semimaru, Sasaki, and the ninja division all moved.

Their attack speed was simply too fast.

Moreover!

Their strength was all very powerful. Even though Amatsuki Hyogoro and Amatsuki Hana were not weak…

Unfortunately.

It was meaningless.

At most, they could only waste a little time.

Amatsuki Hana fell to the ground. Her heart had been pierced through by a single slash. When Sasaki struck, he truly showed no mercy.

As for Amatsuki Hyogoro, he was similarly dealt with by Kurozumi Semimaru and Kurozumi Fukurokuju working together.

Although the fight was quite fierce…

Unfortunately.

He was not their opponent.

Kurozumi Higurashi smiled strangely and said excitedly, "In the name of the shogun, order the daimyo of Kuri, Seimei, to punish the Shimotsuki clan and execute the entire rebellious Shimotsuki clan!"

"Everything is about to begin."

A calm light flickered in Seimei's eyes as he quietly looked into the distance.

Next.

Bringing the entire Wano Country under the Edward Family's control was the most important matter.

As for everything else?

It was not important anymore.

Seimei left.

Artoria and Redfield, who were standing at the entrance, also left.

Everything was about to begin.

…

Kozuki Sukiyaki weakly opened his eyes. His entire body had already been bound by chains and suspended in the air.

Kozuki Sukiyaki struggled weakly and looked around.

This place was precisely the underground prison beneath the shogun's residence. There were even piles of bones here, and these bones belonged to those who had once resisted the Kozuki clan.

Accompanied by strange laughter, Fukurokuju arrived here. The corners of his mouth curled as he said excitedly, "Kozuki Sukiyaki, you never expected this, did you? One day, you would actually become a prisoner."

"Kurozumi clan!"

Although Kozuki Sukiyaki was weak, he still said viciously, "Back then, we were still too merciful! Your family should have been completely killed off!"

"No longer important."

"The winner becomes king, and the loser becomes a bandit. Now! Your Kozuki clan will be cleaned out one by one. Rest assured! With Higurashi present, all the bloodlines of your Kozuki clan hidden across the world will be discovered and dealt with."

Kozuki Sukiyaki was so furious his teeth ground together. He had never imagined that the leader of the Oniwabanshu, whom he had personally selected from among all those children, would actually be a member of the Kurozumi clan!

It would not be an exaggeration to call this a bizarre twist of fate.

"Impossible."

Kozuki Sukiyaki immediately shook his head and said, "You cannot succeed. I will never pass the position of shogun to that little brat. Moreover, relying on the power of outsiders—your Kurozumi clan is truly laughable."

"Young Master!"

"He does indeed possess the bloodline of the Kurozumi clan."

"However…"

"Young Master also possesses the bloodline of your Kozuki clan. Back and forth, either way."

"Whether or not you want to pass the position of shogun to Young Master is not something you can decide."

Kurozumi Higurashi had transformed into Kozuki Sukiyaki. Her entire person still smiled strangely, and that mocking voice made Kozuki Sukiyaki's expression become extremely ugly.

Of course.

Kozuki Sukiyaki also knew that the other party was deliberately provoking him.

As long as he burned with anger, what might happen next would be hard to say.

This was even more of a mental assault against him.

Kurozumi Higurashi said, "Alright, alright, Sukiyaki. This old woman will not continue wasting words with you. You should behave yourself. When Young Master leads the samurai troops, wipes out the Shimotsuki clan, and suppresses Wano Country, this old woman will choose a suitable opportunity to pass the position of shogun to Young Master."

"As for you, you can just wait quietly."

Listening to Kurozumi Higurashi's sharp voice, Kozuki Sukiyaki had already thought of what might happen next, and he struggled wildly.

Fukurokuju said, "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Since you have already been imprisoned here, you just need to watch quietly."

After Higurashi left, Fukurokuju looked at her departing figure.

He said softly, "Higurashi-sama, why not kill Kozuki Sukiyaki directly?"

Higurashi said coldly, "What we want is the position of shogun. Under the current situation, once Kozuki Sukiyaki dies, it will be even more troublesome."

"After seizing the position of shogun, we can gradually control Wano Country. Only then…"

"The future Wano Country will truly become Young Master's Wano Country."

Fukurokuju lowered his head.

"Right." Higurashi said coldly, "How did the matter I had you handle go?"

"Other than you, Semimaru-sama, and this subordinate, only the child named Seimei survived among our clan members. Aside from us, the hidden descendants of the Kurozumi clan have already been found."

"I understand."

Kurozumi Higurashi did not say anything more.

At least, right now, she had these two little brats.

Truly.

She completely did not know what she should say! Everything seemed like fate.

No matter what.

The Kurozumi clan had already gained victory. After paying such an enormous price, the Kurozumi clan had finally seized everything they wanted.

That was already enough.

Fukurokuju also shook his head and left the underground prison, while Kurozumi Higurashi followed.

On the other side.

Artoria, Seimei, Kurozumi Higurashi, Kurozumi Semimaru, Sasaki, the ninja division, five thousand ninja troops, five thousand samurai troops, as well as the recruited heads of other swordsmanship schools and various other people—the total number gathered was thirty thousand.

With grand momentum, they launched an attack against Ringo and Hakumai.

Along with this attack, and with Kozuki Sukiyaki's order, the entire Wano Country fell into terrifying calm.

The other daimyo all did not know how to handle the matter or what they should do.

This matter was simply far too strange.

It was far too bizarre.
