Chapter 161 Hanafza: I've got a brain!
Bang~~
Hyogoro fell backward, while Hanafza stood upright in the rising sun.
"Yalalala~~~"
"I won this real man's battle!!"
"Boss!!"
"Boss Hyogoro! Damn it, I absolutely cannot—"
"That's enough!"
Hyogoro pushed away the samurai who was helping him up and, with a shaky but determined effort, got up.
"A loss is a loss!"
"The most important thing for a man is to be able to accept defeat!"
Hyogoro looked up at the man standing in the sunlight, his expression uncertain, as if he were making a very difficult decision.
"...From today onwards, you are the boss of the Flower Capital, and also my boss, Hyogoro. I will have the samurai inform all shops and commoners."
"Boss Hyogoro!!" the samurai shouted in disbelief.
"Shut up! I lost. These are the rules. Do you want to break them?!"
Seeing Hyogoro's actions, the samurai could only kneel down on one knee with resentment and bow their heads to Hanafza.
"Boss!"
Hanafza was stunned; he just wanted a good, satisfying fight.
Being the boss is too much trouble.
"Hey, what's up, I—"
"As expected of the captain!"
Costa ran over excitedly and slapped Hanafza's thigh hard.
"This is what Boss Bazel meant by 'capture the leader first,' right?!"
"That completes our mission, boss. Go and take over your new subordinates!"
Hanafza scratched his head; he felt a persistent itch in his brain.
But after scratching around for a long time, I still couldn't come up with a solution.
He simply sat down in front of Hyogoro with the broken stick.
"I'm a high-ranking officer in the Beasts Pirates. I entered this country at the invitation of Kurozumi Orochi—"
"Boss!!"
Before Costa, whose expression had changed drastically, could stop him, Hanafza finished speaking.
"Come and help the Kurozumi clan rule Wano Country."
Looking up, Hyogoro's face showed obvious dismay.
"Kurozumi Orochi? Isn't he Sukiyaki Shogun's servant?"
"I don't know about that, but it seems Bazel doesn't intend to do that. That kid's woman is from your Wano Country."
Hanafza stared intently into Hyogoro's pupils.
He liked and respected this upright and chivalrous man, so he didn't intend to beat around the bush and chose to get straight to the point.
Hyogoro first stopped Hanafza from continuing, then waved his hand to signal the samurai behind him to return to the mansion to put out the fire.
Only when the Beasts Pirates were all around did he grit his teeth and shift to a more comfortable position.
"It hurts so much! Damn it, your punches are really powerful!"
"You just said that this guy named Bazel is from Wano Country. What's that all about?"
Have you ever heard of the Tianyue Clan?
Tianyue?
Hyogoro lowered his head and searched for his memories.
Suddenly.
"Hey, wait a minute! You mean Tianyue—isn't that a powerful noble family from a bygone era that suddenly disappeared hundreds of years ago?!"
Hyogoro's face showed a look of horror.
"I don't remember exactly how many years ago it was; I've only heard some rumors about Tianyue."
"That family was quite a powerful force back in the old Wano Country!"
"It seems that someone in the family once served as a daimyo, but as for why they disappeared, I have no idea."
He paused abruptly, then belatedly realized what was happening and cried out in a trembling voice:
"What did you just say?! Orochi wants to rule Wano Country?!"
Ignoring Costa's advice, Hanafza nodded and said:
"What I heard is true, but we intend to bring Miss Toki back to the stage of Wano Country."
"She is a time-human who ate the Paramecia-type Time-Time Fruit. Using the power of the Devil Fruit, she traveled from Wano Country eight hundred years ago to the present."
"You know about the murder in the Flower Capital a couple of days ago, right?"
Hyogoro nodded in agreement.
"That was Miss Shi, no, it can't be said that she did it, it should be said that it was Bazel's ability."
"When we first arrived in Wano Country, Miss Toki wanted to go back to her home, but when she arrived here, she found that the Tengetsu clan no longer existed."
"Even now, very few people in Wano Country remember this family."
"And with some drunken samurai added to the mix, that accident happened."
"I see...."
He said, "I see," but Hyogoro had a strange expression that showed both confusion and bewilderment.
He could understand that some members of the Tianyue clan were still alive.
But what the heck is time travel?!
An old nobleman who traveled from eight hundred years ago?
What is this thing again?!
He can understand the words Hanafza reads, but why is it that when they are put together, he can understand less of them?
The only thing I could understand was that the other person was talking about a drunken samurai.
If those noble knights, drunk, encountered a beautiful woman, they would certainly take her home and enjoy her company.
Hyogoro had received many complaints and pleas from the common people at the bottom of Wano Country.
but·--·
He was powerless to do anything.
No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't fight against the private armies of nobles.
This is no longer an individual act; if he dares to act recklessly...
Then the struggle will escalate to class struggle.
He is the head of the underground forces in the Flower Capital. When he takes action, it means that the Flower Capital's underworld is declaring war on the official forces.
"I understand the general situation, Boss Hanafza. What are your plans next?"
"Me? What can I do? I'll just wait for the signal, of course!"
Hanafza raised his arm, letting his companions treat his wound.
"Bazel intends to abolish the noble class in Wano Country. According to him, the future Wano Country will not need any noble privileges."
"People should not live for the nobility, but for freedom."
"They didn't work because they were servants, but to earn money to support their families and shoulder the responsibilities of being the head of the household."
Hyogoro's mouth opened wider and wider.
"Orochi has made Wano Country a mess, that will probably be the time for us to make our move."
After spilling out all of Bazel's plans, Hanafza shamelessly grinned and said:
"How about it? It's a great plan, isn't it? Want to join us?"
Costa, standing to the side, looked dejected: "Boss, you've revealed the whole plan. If Boss Bazel finds out, he'll definitely give you a piece of his mind."
"Hyōgorō isn't that kind of man!"
With his hands on his knees, Hanafza stared with swollen, purple eyes.
"He's like me, a man whose soul is filled with loyalty!!"
"Hey, Hyogoro!"
"Join us! Only by overthrowing the nobles who oppress us can this country be free!!"
"For a man, this is an incredibly romantic and incredibly loyal thing to do!!!"
"But-"
Hyogoro felt dizzy and disoriented.
Every word the other person said felt like an arrow piercing the heart.
What about the people being the masters of their own destiny? What about the aristocratic privileges that shouldn't exist?
He couldn't understand this.
They also couldn't understand what the Wano Country would be like without nobles.
"Think about it, Hyogoro!"
"If Wano Country had no nobles, neither men nor women would ever have to fear being killed by them one day!"
"The only thing capable of killing them is the law established by Bazel!"
"If a samurai dares to kill without cause, he should be prepared to pay with his own life!"
"Men are born to do great things, Hyogoro!!"
Hanafza swore his mind had never been so clear!
My pores opened up, and a refreshing feeling permeated my entire body.
"Wano Country will open its doors under the leadership of all the beasts!"
Founding the nation?!
Despite his shock, Hyogoro had to admit that he was currently feeling incredibly excited.
That's right!
If a man isn't going to do great things, then why be a man at all?
Overthrow the privileges of the nobility and restore freedom to Wano Country!
This is what a man should do!
"I have no problem joining, but boss..."
Heigoro forced himself to calm down.
"As leaders, we must be extremely careful with every step we take!"
"One wrong step and you're doomed—"
"There is no such thing as utter ruin."
Hanafza tilted her head back, and her laughter, "Yalalala," echoed through the clouds.
"You have no idea how strong Kaido and Bazel are."
"Even if all the samurai of Wano Country gathered together, there's no way you could defeat those two men!"
"You think I'm one of the strongest members of the Beasts Pirates?"
"It's hard to admit, but I have to!"
With his back straight, Hanafza looked down at Hyogoro.
"The Beasts Pirates only have two power levels."
"The first tier consists of Kaido and Bazel, and the second tier consists of the rest of the people."
"Those two men—"
"She's a true monster!!"
"So what you're worried about doesn't exist at all, if it weren't for Miss Shi."
"We can completely conquer this country by force within a month!"
"Nothing here can stop us!!"
