Noro toyed with Enma in his hand, casually twirling it in a sword flourish.
One of the Twenty-One Great Grade Swords, second only to the Supreme Grade Swords, it was a good blade, one of the few.
But he wielded the Sun Eater halberd, and he didn't like using Oden's things.
Noro tossed Enma to King, saying, "King, this sword is yours."
Kaido used a spiked club, and King was the only one here who used a sword, though he wasn't a swordsman, just a brute who hacked with a blade.
But as the 003 of the Beasts Pirates, he couldn't be without a good sword.
Noro also believed King could tame the blade.
Afterward, Noro, with the jar containing the human pillar Oden, drove the carriage, parading him through the streets!
The sky had fallen for the people and samurai of Wano.
And then…
They knelt!
When the strongest samurai in the country had lost, when Queen's army pressed in, their psychological defenses completely collapsed!
The Wano people and samurai, who Higurashi had said would rise up and never surrender…
Were just like that island nation that shouted "100 million will die gloriously," but ended up licking the boots of their American daddy.
Kneeling on the ground, they kowtowed repeatedly, begging Noro to spare their lives.
Only then did Noro allow them to put out the fires and order the Beasts Pirates to cease their slaughter.
No resentment, only gratitude!
Did that make him the founding father of Wano?
Noro ordered men to bring oil and firewood, filling the jar containing Oden with oil.
Then, Noro spat a mouthful of flames onto the firewood, and the flames roared, the oil temperature in the jar rising rapidly.
The legendary King of Endurance, in this life, couldn't escape the fate of being boiled, perishing in the oil pot.
All the transmigrators, even those who had killed Oden, had only dared to act after Roger became the Pirate King.
Because without Oden, Roger couldn't reach the final island, Laugh Tale, and couldn't become the Pirate King.
But Noro didn't care at all.
Why did Roger have to become the Pirate King? Why did he have to become the Pirate King?
One after another, no matter how early the timeline, no matter how strong their own strength, Roger was always the first Pirate King.
What bullshit!
Noro not only wanted to kill Oden, but he also wanted to hide the Poneglyphs of Wano.
He would just let Roger not become the Pirate King. What could he do?
They would just have a fight!
He didn't believe in any damn destiny.
If there was such a thing as destiny, wouldn't all the efforts of a person's life become a joke?
Noro led the main force of the Beasts Pirates back to Kaido.
Kaido was sitting in front of Higurashi's barrier, staring at it, wide-eyed.
Noro patted Stussy's butt. "Go, open a door."
Stussy smiled and walked to the barrier. Before the horrified eyes of the Kurozumi Family, a door opened in the barrier!
The unbreakable Barrier-Barrier Fruit, when it met the Door-Door Fruit, which could open doors on any object…
It was a relationship of natural enemies.
Kaido grinned, carrying his Hassaikai, and walked inside the barrier. "Let me in, and you're in for a world of hurt!"
"Lord Kaido! Lord Kaido!"
"We are willing to submit, willing to help you become the Shogun of Wano!"
"Lord Kaido! Spare our lives!"
…
Higurashi was terrified, her face pale, begging for mercy, collapsing to the ground, pushing herself backward with her legs.
Semimaru and Orochi were the same.
"Too late!"
Kaido swung his Hassaikai, one swing, one kill, Higurashi directly received her box lunch.
Then, one swing, one kill, one swing, one kill, reaping the lives of the Kurozumi Family.
Orochi was more gluttonous, taking a full eight swings from Kaido.
What a waste of a Mythical Zoan Fruit!
Speaking of which, Wano seemed to have many Devil Fruits, including the rarest Mythical Zoan.
He had to use poison gas to control them and search carefully, not letting these Wano people pick them up and eat them.
That would be a pure waste.
After killing all the Kurozumi Family, Kaido spread his arms and shouted, "Men, let the feast begin!"
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
"Long live the Captain!"
"Long live the Beasts Pirates!"
…
Cheers rose and fell, and after a great battle, they needed a feast to celebrate their victory.
The people of Wano, their country destroyed and their families dead, were busy putting out fires, while on the Beasts Pirates' side, to celebrate their conquest of Wano, a huge bonfire blazed into the sky.
People's joys and sorrows were not the same. Extreme joy and extreme sorrow intertwined on this land.
Kaido was in high spirits, drinking constantly, his smile never fading.
A year ago, he was still an experimental subject on Punk Hazard.
A year later, he had his own pirate crew, eight thousand subordinates, more than forty pirate ships, and now he had a decent territory in the New World.
How could he not drink heartily?
The only regret was that the pirate crew had a cook, and Noro no longer grilled meat.
King, though drinking, glanced at his newly acquired sword from time to time.
Queen, noticing this, put his arm around King's neck and dragged him over, shoving a cup of sake into King's hand. "It's a feast! Go study your broken sword after the feast is over."
"It's not a broken sword. Mr. Noro gave it to me," King said coldly.
Queen didn't care about that, urging, "Alright, alright, drink the sake. Go study the sword Mr. Noro gave you after the feast is over."
King didn't refuse, raising his cup and drinking it all in one gulp.
Just as he put down his cup, Queen smiled and pushed another cup over.
Englar Alaric and Raja, those old rivals, were fighting again, shaking dice, their faces flushed red, while Aharu silently drank his sake.
Matty Tao and her propaganda team sisters gathered together, drinking sake, gossiping, their silvery laughter constantly ringing out.
The other pirates were also in groups of three or five, with their arms around each other's shoulders, drinking sake, having a good time.
Stussy didn't attend the feast. She was in the Door-Door dimension, nursing her child.
Noro quietly sipped his sake, pondering what to do next.
Now that Wano had been conquered, the majority of his initial dream had been fulfilled. Next was to properly "entertain" these islanders.
Kaido grabbed Noro and pulled him over. "What are you spacing out about on such a great day, Noro? Come on, drink, drink!"
Noro smiled and drank the sake in his cup.
He really wasn't as carefree as Kaido.
What was the point of thinking so much? One should enjoy life to the fullest.
Noro rolled up his sleeves, shaking the dice. "Come on, come on, let's see if I can drink you all under the table today!"
"Heh, Noro, you're talking big!"
"That's right, that's right. At the drinking table, we won't let you win just because you're the vice-captain."
