"So that means..."
Kokoro, standing behind Makoto, paused her massaging hands slightly.
"We need to go find Uncle Newgate?"
She bit her lip, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
Back when they were being instructed by the Rocks Pirates, Kokoro had studied under Whitebeard.
For some reason, that old man with the unique mustache had much more patience with children.
Therefore, the younger ones like Kokoro, Raiha, and Komachi had all studied under Whitebeard.
Now that Oden was the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, if they wanted to capture his wife, given Whitebeard's protective nature, a clash between the two sides would likely be unavoidable.
To be honest, unless absolutely necessary, Kokoro really didn't want to turn against Whitebeard.
If it were Shiki instead, it would be much better.
After all, over the years, they had often seen news in the newspapers about Shiki, Big Mom, and others running amok.
This also matched Makoto's earlier assessment of them… towards such scum, there was no need for mercy.
Aside from collecting sons, Whitebeard rarely had any negative news.
If they went to war with him, the girls would have some moral baggage to varying degrees.
"No rush."
Makoto saw Kokoro's hesitation and waved his hand.
"Just go to Wano Country and wait."
"Wano Country?"
"Yeah."
Makoto nodded.
"Kozuki Oden is the heir to Wano Country. He'll go back sooner or later. We'll just go there ahead of time and wait."
Even if they captured Toki now and forced her to use the Time-Time Fruit's ability, there were still several years until the Battle of Marineford.
Jumping through time wouldn't mean much. They could wait another two years until the timeline was exactly twenty years before the Battle of Marineford, then make the jump.
"We still have to wait..."
Yukiko instantly became dejected again.
Makoto reached out, cupped her cheeks, and gently pinched them, smiling. "It's okay. Even with a few wrinkles, I'll still fuck you just the same."
Yukiko's face turned bright red in an instant.
"With so many people around, what... what are you saying!"
Actually, oftentimes, women don't necessarily need to have full, collagen-rich faces to look good. Sometimes a few traces of time can actually add charm.
Makoto thought subconsciously of those MILF in his previous life, that type of woman was at her most flavorful when she was a bit older.
Damn, you see her and have no other thoughts, just wanting to fuck.
Yeah, Eri was also that type.
Hearing Makoto's words, the MILF Group all blushed deeply.
And Sayuri and Mrs. Yuigahama, who were also of age but hadn't developed a relationship with Makoto all these years, inexplicably found themselves becoming restless.
Every night, listening to Makoto with other women, some of whom were their own age—
They were also reaching their limit...
The atmosphere on the deck became subtle for a moment.
Nayuta, sitting on Makoto's lap, looked around at the expressions of these women, a flicker of displeasure in her golden ringed eyes.
"Hmph."
She grunted softly, buried her face in Makoto's neck, and wrapped her arms tighter.
Makoto patted her back and said nothing.
After deciding on their next destination, Makoto and his group steered the Otherworlder-Go towards Wano Country.
After arriving in the outer waters of Wano Country and seeing the extreme weather of thunderstorms and the countless dense, massive whirlpools on the sea surface, the women understood why the World Government had been unable to do anything about Wano Country for hundreds of years.
With such extreme weather, it would be impossible for ordinary ships not only to enter Wano Country but even to enter these waters without being dragged into the deep sea and dying without a proper burial.
"H-how are we supposed to get in?"
Chika leaned over the ship's railing, looking at the surging black waves in the distance and the lightning striking from the clouds, her face pale.
"Ordinary ships indeed can't get in."
Makoto stood at the bow.
With those words, gray-black energy surged from Makoto's body, instantly expanding, condensing, and taking shape.
Skeleton, flesh, armor, wings—
The Complete Body Susanoo descended once again.
The several-hundred-meter-tall gray-black giant stood upon the sea, its spread wings blotting out the sky. It extended its giant palms and lifted the entire Otherworlder-Go and the Perfume Yuda.
The Complete Body Susanoo flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
Winds howled, lightning flashed past the giant but was deflected by the gray-black energy armor.
The two ships remained motionless in the giant's palms.
After directly passing through the sheer cliffs, Makoto controlled the Complete Body Susanoo and placed the Otherworlder-Go and the Perfume Yuda on the ground.
Boom—
The earth shook violently.
The animals of Wano Country, initially attracted by the commotion, saw the god-like Complete Body Susanoo and immediately turned and ran away in fear.
Such a huge disturbance naturally attracted the attention of the locals.
Just as Makoto and his group disembarked, a tall woman over two meters tall, dressed in a kimono, rode up on a wolf-like dog.
The dog stopped at a distance. The woman in the kimono looked down at the uninvited guests and demanded, "Who are you? Why have you trespassed into Wano Country?"
Hearing the woman's question, the girls around Makoto looked at each other in bewilderment.
'Could it be that there were still people who hadn't heard of Makoto's fame?'
Yui tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "Has Makoto-kun not done anything major these years, so his fame has faded?"
Makoto explained, "That's because Wano Country is isolated from the rest of the world. The extreme weather prevents even the News Coos from flying in, so many people here know nothing about the outside world."
"Moreover, not only does the outside world know nothing about what's happening inside Wano Country, but it's also very difficult for the outside world to obtain information about Wano Country."
During the years Oden had been with the Whitebeard Pirates, he knew nothing about the situation in his own country.
Him being busy gallivanting around outside was one reason, but the main reason was that he couldn't contact Kin'emon and the others who stayed behind in Wano Country.
After all, this damned place didn't even have Den Den Mushi.
Seeing no one answer her, the woman in the kimono placed her hand on the sword at her waist and raised her voice, "If this is a mistake, please leave immediately!"
Mrs. Yuigahama, who had the gentlest temperament on the ship, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Miss, we were just—"
But before Mrs. Yuigahama could finish, Makoto interrupted her.
"He's a man."
"Huh?"
Mrs. Yuigahama and all the girls were stunned.
They looked incredulously at the woman in the kimono on the dog's back… her fair skin, the slender waist beneath the kimono...
'She's a man?'
They really hadn't recognized it...
Makoto had already recognized him.
One of Oden's Nine Red Scabbards, Kikunojo.
Brother of Izou, the future captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Sixteenth Division.
Both were traps.
Makoto looked with interest at Kikunojo, who could be considered class beauty level even among beautiful women.
A thought crossed his mind, 'The Four Gay Bros would probably like him.'
'Oh no, Hikigaya Hachiman would probably like him too, since he should be quite accustomed to penetrating men's anuses.'
He felt it was just in time, as the Four Gay Bros had called him a while ago, saying they had almost finished visiting all the member nations and were basically tired of playing with Imu, wanting new toys.
Wasn't this perfect?
Makoto smiled, took a step forward, and said to Kikunojo, "I've come to kill your master."
But after saying this, Makoto frowned again.
He suddenly felt that just killing Oden would be a bit of a waste.
His whole family had disgusted him quite a bit in his previous life. He needed to find a way to slowly torment them to ease the hatred in his heart.
Hearing Makoto's words, Kikunojo's expression changed drastically.
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, pupils burning with angry flames.
"What did you say?!"
Kikunojo immediately drew his sword and charged at Makoto on his dog.
Ordinarily, he wouldn't easily start a fight.
But for fanatics like them, fans of the Kozuki Family, Kozuki Oden was their untouchable spot.
Anyone who showed hostility towards Oden would be eliminated without hesitation by the Nine Red Scabbards.
However, Makoto didn't even bat an eye.
He casually drew the Shodai Kitetsu from Saeko's waist and waved it lightly.
Shing—
A flash of the blade appeared.
Kikunojo didn't even see how his opponent moved.
The next second—
"Aaaarrgghhhh—!"
Kikunojo fell off his dog in pain, rolling on the ground.
His left arm was cleanly severed at the shoulder. Blood gushed out, staining the grass beneath him red.
The dog turned and ran in fear, disappearing into the forest in an instant.
Makoto looked down at Kikunojo screaming on the ground and said with a smile, "Just leaving the anus is enough, isn't it?"
Kikunojo's pupils shrank sharply.
Before he could react—
Another 'shing, shing, shing'… three slashes.
Right arm.
Left leg.
Right leg.
All four limbs were severed.
Kikunojo lay in a pool of blood, his body convulsing uncontrollably, his mouth wide open, unable to make any sound due to the overwhelming pain.
Blood surged from the wounds, dyeing the surrounding grass dark red.
Even the female players behind him showed startled expressions.
Although they knew their man was ruthless enough, this time it seemed excessively ruthless.
They realized Makoto truly hated these people from Wano Country.
Makoto sheathed the Shodai Kitetsu back into the scabbard at Saeko's waist and clapped his hands.
"Alright, tie this guy up and throw him on the ship. Don't let him die."
"Once the Four Gay Bros get here, hand him over to them. Those guys will definitely like him."
