One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 330 Assassination (Part )

As the new general of Wano Country, Hiyori knew very well that the reason why she was able to sit in this position was "pushed" by the situation.

Now in Wano Country, she is the only one who can stabilize the situation.

But in other words, she is just a "puppet".

But she was unwilling to do so.

Although she is young, she still wants to make a career and impress those who look down on her.

Hiyori is well aware of the dangers of reform. Before leaving Wano, Profic clearly told her that the reform would touch the interests of many people. Malignant incidents such as assassinations will continue to occur. Before the reform is successful, she can't even think about living a peaceful life.

As for whether to back down, it depends on her personal choice and her "awareness".

Does Hiyori have such "awareness"?

She didn't even know that she was too young to understand such profound things. But one fact is indisputable - not only did she complete her task perfectly, she even did it better than expected.

Her performance impressed Morana. Even she, who had been trained as the successor of the Black Constellation since she was a child, felt at a loss when she first took over the power. Such a person was born on a pirate ship and experienced several years of ups and downs. A little girl living a homeless life can actually do such a great job!

Even the retainers such as He Song and Kuang Shilang were surprised. My little master is much better than I imagined.

Only Hiyori Kozuki knew that when she had seen the fire in Oden Castle, the human tragedy in Wano Country, and the nobles who unscrupulously harmed the people, there was nothing in this world that could make her feel scared or flinch. For the sake of the country of Wano, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, she believes that she can go on.

We are not far from the coast of Wano Country, and we will reach our destination through a forest.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise all around, and many warriors dressed in different costumes rushed out from the forest, holding various weapons and rushing forward with shouts. A large number of warriors, retainers, and even refugee groups of unknown origin suddenly appeared at the rear and left side of the team.

Unlike the previous assassins, they were no longer wearing black masks to hide their identities, and were basically fighting openly. Some of them, as can be seen from the patterns on the clothes they wear, have some connection with certain nobles in Wano.

Obviously these guys no longer intend to hide their identities.

The "Maori Clan", "Ikeda Clan" and "Uzumaki Clan" are all great nobles of Wano Country with "profound heritage" and "orderly inheritance".

Morana's eyes flashed coldly: "It seems these guys can't wait any longer."

"Protect General Hiyori!" Kuangshiro immediately called upon Kuushiro's family and the National Protectorate Army to form a battle formation to protect Hiyori.

Before the two sides could join forces, a noble from the outer team suddenly shouted, then drew his weapon and charged forward with several people around him:

"Guangyue Rihe is going against the grain, changing the laws of our ancestors, colluding with overseas thieves, and endangering the foundation of the country! Today we will kill the thieves for the country, let's go together!"

The surrounding nobles naturally responded one after another at this time. When things have reached this point, there is no point in making excuses. This place is far away from the Flower City. They have an absolute advantage in numbers. If they don't take action, what are they waiting for?

Shigetsuki Yasujia unsheathed his sword and chopped down a samurai who secretly approached Hiyori. He shouted loudly: "The Protectorate Army protects the general! If you dare to rebel, you will be killed!"

Bao Goro took the lead and led the National Guard Army to form a square formation to block the attack of the enemy warriors: "Team No. 1 is in charge of the front, Team No. 2..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sharp pain in his side. A steel knife pierced his abdomen. The one who did it was not someone else, but the companion who had been by his side and trusted enough to deliver the goods behind him.

Baogoro's eyes widened in disbelief, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. He was actually betrayed by his own men.

"Lao Wu, you actually did such a thing."

"Brother Leopard Goro, I blame you for having to follow Mitsuki Hiwa all the way to the dark side." The National Protector who stabbed him in the back shouted loudly, "Anyone who is willing to correct the chaos, kill me!"

As this man shouted, about half of the soldiers of the National Defense Army turned around and charged in the direction of Hiyori.

Morana entered the human-animal form and stopped in front of Hiyori:

"No, Hiyori, be careful."

The energy of the Wano nobles was much greater than she imagined. They were able to mobilize so many people in such a short period of time. They even bribed soldiers of the National Defense Army to plan such a large-scale attack in the suburbs. Ambush.

However, this scale must have reached its limit. As long as it survives this time, the old nobles will never have a chance to counterattack!

But the current hurdle is not easy.

With the sudden revolt of the nobles and the defection of the National Defense Army, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves suddenly became huge, and even Hiyori's side was in chaos.

Crazy Death Lang, Asura Boy, He Song, Kang Jia, Morana and Star fought closely against the enemy while moving closer to each other. There was a scuffle everywhere, and it was not even clear who was on which side for a while. By this time, they no longer dared to trust the others easily, so they could only form a circle and tightly protect Hiyori behind them.

In terms of combat effectiveness, Kuang Shi Lang and others are certainly much better than the enemy. However, on the one hand, the enemy is waiting for work, and on the other hand, he is cooperating inside and outside, and has an absolute advantage in numbers and tactics. In particular, the rebellion of the National Protectorate suddenly broke up the formation, causing the opponent to be caught off guard and causing huge casualties.

In addition, Kuangshirou and the others had to protect Hiyori after all, so their actions were hampered at every turn, and they soon found themselves at a temporary disadvantage.

"Damn it!" Shuangyue Kangjia stuck his sword on the ground to steady his body and took advantage of the fighting to catch his breath. After all, he was already fifty-four years old, and he had not had enough to eat in the past few years. His physical condition was not as good as that of "young people" like Kuang Shilang, and he was a little unable to support himself.

The most troublesome thing is that there seems to be an endless supply of enemies, and you can't kill them all.

For this ambush, the nobles had already done a good job of cooperating in private, and nobles from all over Wano, including the Flower Capital, joined in this operation. When their fundamental interests were threatened, they unreservedly devoted all their strength to survival.

Most of the nobles and warriors who originally claimed to be "loyal" to the Kozuki clan chose to join the rebellion.

For them, loyalty to the country and the general must always give way to their own interests. Under the rule of Orochi and Kaido, they miss the Kozuki clan because Kaido and Orochi adopted a policy of suppressing noble warriors, which harmed their interests. They hope that one day they can return to the rule of the Kozuki family with less restrictions. days.
