Chapter 535 I Don’t Want to Know
[Extra Chapter·The Days of the Nine Snakes' Eastern Road·'Powder makes her too white, rouge makes her too red'] [In the Nine Snakes' Palace, Snake Princess puts makeup on Hancock. She puts some powder on her face, but finds that it is not as delicate as her natural skin, so she has to wipe it off for her; she puts some lipstick on her, but finds that no matter what color it is, it is three points inferior to her natural red lips, so she has to wipe it off again; Tulip looks at Hancock's flawless jade face, but she feels like she has no idea where to start, as if any makeup will seriously damage this beautiful face. Hancock has no expression on her face the whole time, and rolls her eyes in boredom...]——
Wano Country is so small!
Whenever Kozuki Gumi uttered such an exclamation, the people around him would always look at him and laugh, and the air would suddenly be filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Because, Kozuki Tomomi was a short guy with a weird hairstyle like a pot lid and only one meter tall. He couldn't even become a qualified samurai.
The knife is longer than him.
Although he bears the name of Kozuki and has the blood of a general flowing in his body, people around him still lack respect for him.
After all, according to rumors, even General Kozuki said that if Tomomi's surname was not Kozuki, such a guy who only brought shame would have been granted the honor of committing seppuku long ago.
Mitsuki Gushi was used to such looks and just smiled at the people around him.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would look at his short, hunched body in the mirror, and every time he would have to resist the urge to cut himself into pieces or commit suicide by slow slicing.
…
Finally one day, Kozuki Gumi didn't appear for a long time.
It was snowing in the winter, and the people of Wano Country thought that perhaps Kozuki Tomomi was indeed dead, dead in some unknown corner - hopefully not in the territory of the Kozuki family.
…
Year after year...
When people were about to forget that there was a dwarf named Gu Shi, he appeared again in front of the people of Wano Country.
He has grown taller.
The one-meter-tall dwarf turned into a giant monster hundreds of meters tall, and even grew two huge horns on his head.
He said that this is a popular technology overseas that can bring great changes to the ancient and outdated Wano Country and realize everyone's dreams.
General Kozuki refused to allow such a monster to return to his territory.
Gumi sat in the sea for two days, abandoned the Kozuki family name, and joined the school of the Daimyo Tenzuki. Perhaps to humiliate the Kozuki general who expelled him, Tenzuki Gumi married the daughter of the Daimyo Tenzuki, and later inherited the entire territory of the Tenzuki clan.
Although her husband was a demon who was hundreds of meters tall, he was just a son-in-law after all, and he had learned the reading and writing of ancient characters from Gu Shi. The wife felt that this kind of life was not bad.
Until the tragedy that occurred when Tianyue Gushi became too invested in the technology he brought back from overseas...
Due to a huge experimental accident, all the people in the Tianyue territory were transformed into wild beasts. It happened to be a full-moon night, and groups of monsters fought and beat each other under the moon. Some even went crazy enough to wreak havoc in other daimyo's territories...
The disaster came to be known as the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
The last isolated island left by Tianyue in Wano Country is also called Onigashima... However, that was after General Kozuki led the samurai to behead the completely crazy demon Tianyue Gumi.
The sword god Shimotsuki Ryoma chopped off the demon's huge head with one sword, but Tianyue Gushi did not die at all.
His wife, the daughter of the previous Daimyo Tengetsu, carried out a sarcophagus and carved two lines of ancient characters on the back of the coffin lid with hatred. She cried and cursed the demon who was not dead even after losing his head, saying, "My hatred for you will never dissipate, and you will never be reborn for the rest of your life." This was her curse on Tengetsu Jushi.
Amid the bitter and hateful voices, she also withered and died...
General Kozuki used the overseas technology brought by Amatsuki Gumi to specially create a devil fruit, which turned Amatsuki Gumi, who was unable to live or die, into a giant long-legged elephant. As punishment, he had to carry Amatsuki's territory and all the people in the territory who had turned into hairy monsters, and walk on the sea forever, never to come back.
As the years passed, the Lord of the Elephants never returned to Wano Country.
Even when a great disaster swept the world, no trace of the elephant master and the people on its back could be seen...
I don't know when it started, but Wano Country has a law of isolation.
Then, two or three hundred years later...
It was not until a samurai named Musashi, the heir of the Kozuki family, learned about the history of two or three hundred years ago that he decided to go out to sea to find the elephant master and confirm this forgotten history.
…
Kozuki Musashi found the elephant master and the people of Tianyue on his back.
However, unlike what he guessed, what was on the elephant's back was not a kingdom of death where wild beasts and monsters were rampant, but a happy place called the Furry Principality.
Because we are all furry! Those people who are covered in fur and call themselves the Fur Tribe smiled and told him so, and accepted him kindly.
Kozuki Musashi got along very well with the Minks. Their king, the Wolf Lord, was a good drinker and his temperament matched his, so the two became brothers. As a testimony, they added the Mink Tribe's patterns around the Kozuki family's sacred bird family emblem.
The banquet lasted for several days and nights, and was as lively as fireworks...
The drunk Kotsuki Musashi came to his senses and found that he had unknowingly come to the forest outside the Mink Tribe city... There was a voice guiding him, telling him that there was a tomb underground.
It is the voice of the Lord of the Elephants...
No, it’s Tianyue Jushi!
Because of the blood connection, Kozuki Musashi heard the voice of the huge long-legged elephant under his feet, and followed his guidance to find his wife's tomb.
After opening the sarcophagus and seeing the ancient text on the back of the lid, Kozuki Musashi completely collapsed.
…
“…I thought it was just a fable made up by the ancient people of Wano who happened to see the elephant master and combined it with the huge skull of Onigashima!”
In the underground tomb, Kozuki Musashi shouted to the voice of the elephant master in his mind, "Because the people here are not like in the stories at all! They... seem to be living well..."
"That's because... they have forgotten the past..." The voice of the Lord of the Elephants echoed in Kozuki Musashi's mind, "Whether to tell them this history is up to you... the heir of the Kozuki family, it's up to you to decide..."
Kozuki Musashi burst into tears, filled with grief. At this moment, a trembling voice came from behind him: "Musashi, what you just said... is it all true?!"
Kozuki Musashi was stunned and turned around suddenly. Under the moonlight, he saw the Wolf Lord with a look of disbelief on his face.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"We were all ordinary humans originally. We were harmed like this by you, the Kozuki family?!" The wolf shed tears.
Kozuki Musashi wanted to explain, "He is Amatsuki! Amatsuki Gushi!"
The Wolf Lord gnashed his teeth, "If you are Tianyue, how are you connected to him by blood? - He is still Kozuki after all!"
Kozuki Musashi was speechless.
The Wolf Lord burst into tears and asked, "When did you know this?"
"From the very beginning..." Kozuki Musashi said dejectedly, "I left Wano Country and came here just to verify this legend..."
The wolf lord's face turned ferocious. "Then why did you still drink with us and hold a party together? Pretending that we have a good relationship?! Tell me, when everyone was happily holding a party, when we treated you as one of our own...what were you thinking in your heart? Tell me, Kozuki Musashi!!!"
"I feel... sorry." Kozuki Musashi's face was pale and his lips were trembling. "But I think that even if those legends are true, since most people in Wano Country have forgotten them, we can start over! You are living a good life now, right-"
Before he could finish his words, the Wolf Lord roared angrily and pounced on him with claws surging with lightning.
"What are you doing, Wolf Lord!" Kozuki Musashi drew his sword to resist, shouting, "We are brothers!"
“It used to be!!”
The wolf master was already blood-curdling, and his howls were filled with unspeakable grief...
In the lively party city of Crow, the drunken fur tribe members wondered, "Is there a wolf howling?"
"Did you hear that wrong? Haha, come and have a drink!"
"This is the wine that Brother Kozuki brought over. It seems to be much better than usual!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
At the deepest moment of the night, a flash of cold light flashed across the underground tomb, and Kozuki Musashi killed the Wolf Lord with one sword.
Until his last breath, the Wolf Lord's eyes were still staring at him.
Kozuki Musashi collapsed, hugged the wolf master's body in the underground tomb, and cried bitterly towards the moonlight above his head...
………………
"What happened next is just like what I said before... Kozuki Musashi, feeling remorseful and remorseful, committed suicide by seppuku after leaving this last letter in ancient script on the stone wall of the sea tower."
After Robin completed the history in Kozuki Musashi's last letter, he and Lynch jumped off Elephant Island and disappeared into the vast sea of clouds below.
The cat and the dog stood blankly at the edge of Elephant Island for a long, long time, without moving an inch.
Until dusk falls, until night falls.
Cat Viper spit out his pipe with a "Puh" sound, and it fell into the dark and surging clouds below. He said expressionlessly: "Hey, old dog... Tell me, Kozuki Oden, does he know this history?"
After not hearing Inuarashi's response for a long time, Cat Viper couldn't help but turn his head to look over.
"have no idea……"
Inuarashi closed his eyes, tears mixed with blood flowed down, and he said hoarsely to himself, "I don't want to know..."
1. Haha, it feels so good to be black.
2. The cover has been changed. The Robin in this picture is really suitable for our book...
