One Piece: Starting as a Marine Lieutenant, I Slack Off and Get Stronger

Momonosuke does have important information to tell everyone. The reason he was in so much pain just now was because he heard Luffy's voice. Although he couldn't hear exactly what was said, he was certain that Luffy was still alive and they hadn't lost yet.

Soon, Momonosuke, with a sob in his voice, relayed the message, and his voice echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

Hyogoro gazed up at the attic; Yamato was somewhat astonished; Raizo was engaged in the First Shinobi World War with Fukurokuju; Jinbe wore a relieved smile; the rebel samurai cheered...

Everyone believed that Luffy would definitely return, and the morale was boosted in an instant. A new battle was about to begin.

The edge of Ghost Island.

Shinobu looked out at the sea beneath Oni Island, panting heavily, a few beads of sweat dripping from her forehead. It seemed they had nowhere left to escape.

Bang~bang~bang~

Kaido, carrying his spiked club, slowly approached Momonosuke: "Kid, I spared your life 20 years ago, and you don't know the meaning of gratitude at all! Fine, I've always been magnanimous, I can't be bothered to argue with you, you should just die!"

Kaido raised his spiked club and swung it at Momonosuke's head.

Shinobu's gaze sharpened, and she unleashed Earth Release: Rock Collapse. The rocks beneath their feet instantly shattered, and the two of them tumbled into the sea.

Kaido's attack naturally missed, leaving him stunned. Why did all of them like jumping into the sea to commit suicide? Why didn't they just do what he did and crash onto land?

"Kaido!!!"

A powerful roar drew Kaido's attention. Kaido turned around and looked up. On the dilapidated building stood his beloved son, Yamato.

"Call me Daddy!"

Yamato took a deep breath and shouted, "I've come to cut these chains!"

The father and daughter finally faced a breaking point.

In the sky, Karl was sleeping on the back of a raven, waiting for the raven to call him.

The raven, watching the two people plummeting from above, its scarlet eyes flashing with horror, cried out, "Caw?"

There was no response, probably because Carl was sleeping soundly.

"What? There are even magical beasts?" Shinobu's heart sank. Holding Momonosuke in one arm, she took out a smoke bomb with the other and threw it at Raven's head.

"Smoke Escape Technique!"

bang~

“Gah (〃＞皿＜)╬╬╬)!”

Raven was indignant at being beaten for no reason and even inhaling two jin of cigarettes. You see, it was worshipped as a guardian beast in the Women's Kingdom. Apart from Karl, who would dare to mess with it?

The raven took a deep breath, opened its mouth wide, and condensed a dazzling golden light—a holy breath!

Boom~

Seeing the overwhelming golden flames, Shinobu's pupils shrank instantly, but there was nowhere to hide in the air. Looking at Momonosuke in her hand, she made a decision in her heart: even if she died, she would never let the son of the good man Kozuki Oden suffer even the slightest injury!

"Young Master, please, bear with it!"

Shinobu shielded Momonosuke behind her, using her own flesh and blood to block the deadly holy flames for him.

Ahhhhh~

A scream echoed through the sky, and Karl suddenly opened his eyes.

"Have we arrived in Wano Country yet?"

Then, Karl saw the figure in front of him, surrounded by holy flames, still falling downwards.

"Raven...you?"

"Gah..."

After hearing Raven's explanation and seeing its innocent little eyes, Karl sighed helplessly: "Raven, you were too impulsive. Tsk, go down and take a look!"

As for Momonosuke, under Shinobu's protection, he was indeed mostly unharmed, with most of the damage being blocked by Shinobu. However, given his small stature, he couldn't withstand even a little bit of the Holy Light Flame.

After Shinobu was burned to a crisp, Momonosuke, in order to save his life, was forced to transform into a pink dragon and slowly landed on the coast of Wano Country.

"Rin!!! Waaaaaah~"

Seeing Shinobu turn into a puddle of indescribable black powder, Momonosuke immediately burst into tears. After all, he was just a child, and what else could he do but cry?

"I'm so sorry, you're not dead, are you? You're all my pets... Kozuki Momonosuke?"

As Karl looked at the pink dragon in front of him, his pupils contracted, and his dead memories began to attack him.

Tsk~ This brat, I used to really dislike him....

"Who are you, Your Excellency?"

Looking at the suddenly arriving Karl, Momonosuke was completely bewildered, having no idea who this man was.

But I always felt there was malice in his smile...

Chapter 327 can also be considered the founding of the nation.

"you do not know me?"

Momonosuke shook his head. How could he possibly know Karl?

Having finally traveled back 20 years to escape Kaido's pursuit, he was captured by Caesar as soon as he arrived, separated from Kin'emon, and endured a long and miserable period of time.

This situation only improved after they boarded the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.

It has to be said that being on the Straw Hat crew's ship is really great. Robin and Nami are not only beautiful, but they also have amazing figures. He almost forgot about his homeland. If it weren't for the heavy responsibility of restoring his kingdom, he would have preferred to stay on the Straw Hat crew's ship.

After all, he was just an eight-year-old child. What did he do wrong?

However, no matter what, even if the Straw Hat crew all knew Karl, they wouldn't have had the chance to introduce him to Momonosuke. Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, Whole Cake Island, Zou, and Wano Country kept sending them greetings from the New World, and they didn't have time to introduce Momonosuke to someone who had nothing to do with him.

Carl stroked his chin and pouted, "Fine, I'm too lazy to argue with you. That woman attacked me and my pet just now, but luckily my pet intervened in time and burned her to death, which prevented a major disaster. Apologize to me and I'll forgive you."

Momonosuke was stunned. Shinobu was burned to a crisp, and it was still her fault?

"Don't make false accusations! It was clearly that demonic beast that killed Shinobu. If it weren't for Shinobu, I... I..."

At the mention of Shinobu, Momonosuke's eyes filled with tears again, and he began to sob softly.

Karl curled his lip. This guy can be the shogun of Wano Country?

After much thought, Karl felt it would be better if Momonosuke died. There was no particular reason; he just simply felt uncomfortable around him.

"The people of Wano Country are so rude. All I want is an apology. Is that so hard?"

"Raven, continue what you haven't finished!"

"Gah!"

Momonosuke's eyes were filled with terror, and he cried out in a sob, "What, what do you want to do? I, I am the future shogun of Wano Country! You, you can't kill me!"

Karl paid no heed. The raven had already opened its mouth wide, gathering scorching holy flames, and was about to unleash them on Momonosuke!

"Aaaaaah~ Luffy, I, I'm in so much pain, please help me...."

The golden holy flames spread across Momonosuke's body like maggots, causing him to writhe in pain. He even transformed into a small pink snake to try and block the flames' damage, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough...

Amidst agonizing screams, Momonosuke turned into a pool of black ash. Just then, the tide surged up, carrying Momonosuke's ashes into the sea.

In this way, Momonosuke has fulfilled his dream of opening a new country. The sea will carry the ashes of the Wano Country Shogun to every island, spreading the glorious deeds of the valiant Oden...

At this moment, the samurai and the Straw Hat Pirates are engaged in a bloody battle. The good news is that they no longer need to worry about victory or defeat, because Momonosuke is gone. The bad news is that they don't know it yet.

"Let's go! To that island in the sky!"

"Gah!!!"

In the vast ocean, Luffy, still unconscious, murmured to himself, "Peach..."

Above the dome, Kaido transformed into a blue dragon, confronting Yamato on the ground: "Straw Hat Boy is dead, Oden's son is dead. Since you admire Oden so much, you should protect them."

Kaido was concerned about Yamato removing her handcuffs. He couldn't figure out why Yamato wanted to get out so badly. What kind of spell did Oden, that idiot, have on her?

Yamato said calmly, "I'm going to sail with Luffy! Before that, we'll drive you out of Wano Country, Kaido!"

Kaido transformed into his beast form and chuckled, "Driven out of Wano Country... Heh, it's precisely because this is Wano Country that I came here! Even if you drive me out, I'll come back again."

After saying that, Kaido raised his big club, ready to teach this unfilial son a lesson as usual, so that he would obediently become the Great Shogun.

Yamato took a deep breath, remaining calm. She knew her own limitations. Her goal wasn't to defeat Kaido, but to wait for Luffy to return, because Luffy was the man Oden had been waiting for, and he would definitely come back.

"Thunder gossip!"

"Thunder gossip!"

The father and daughter greeted each other simultaneously with the Thunderous Eight Trigrams, and the black lightning generated by the collision of their domineering auras spread across the dome in the next instant.

"Don't think I'll go easy on you, Yamato!!!"

Above the clouds, Karl chuckled, "Father and daughter killing each other? Tsk tsk tsk, how interesting. It seems that Kaido's defeat is still a while away."

Why was Karl so certain that Kaido would lose? Because there were simply too many traitors within the Beasts Pirates!

"Let's go find Drake first!"

......

Ghost Island, in a certain corner.

"Drake, you look terrible!" Carl said with a smile, looking at the battered and bruised Drake in front of him.
