[Chapter extra chapter·Days on Jiu She East Road·"If you apply powder, it will be too white, if you apply Zhu, it will be too red"]

[In the Palace of Nine Snakes, Snake Lady put some makeup on Hancock and put some powder on her face, but she felt that it was not as delicate as her original skin, so she had to wipe it off for her; she put some lipstick on her, but found that No matter what color, it was inferior to her natural red lips, so she had to wipe them off again; Tulip looked at Hancock's flawless face, and felt like she had no idea where to start. It seemed that any makeup was just for this. Zhang’s beautiful face was severely damaged. Hancock remained expressionless throughout the whole process, rolling his eyes in boredom...]

----------------------------------

Wano Country is so small!

Whenever Guangyue Jushi sighs like this, the people around him always look at him and laugh, and the air is suddenly filled with an atmosphere of joy.

Because Kouzuki Jushi is a short guy with a weird hairstyle like a pot lid and is only one meter tall. He can't even become a qualified samurai.

The sword is longer than him.

Although he bears the name of Kozuki and has the blood of a general flowing through his body, people around him still lack respect for him.

After all, it is rumored that even General Kozuki said that if Ju Shi was not named Kozuki, such a shameless guy would have been given the honor of committing seppuku long ago.

Guangyue Jushi was used to such looks and just smiled at the people around her.

In the dead of night, he looked at his short and rickety body in the mirror, and every time he had to resist the urge to cut himself into pieces and commit suicide.

…

Finally one day, Guangyue Jushi did not appear for a long time.

Snow was falling in the winter, and the people of Wano Country thought that maybe Kozuki Goushi was indeed dead, and died in some unknown corner—hopefully not in the territory of the Kozuki family.

…

Year by year……

Just when people had almost forgotten that there once was a dwarf named Gu Shi, he appeared in front of everyone in Wano Country again.

He has grown taller.

The once one-meter dwarf turned into a huge monster hundreds of meters tall, with two huge horns even sprouting from his head.

He said that this is a popular technology overseas that can bring huge changes to the ancient country of Wano and realize everyone's dreams.

General Kozuki refused to let such a monster return to his territory.

Gu Shi sat in the sea for two days, abandoned the surname of Mitsuki, and joined the disciples of Tian Yue Daimyo. Perhaps in order to humiliate General Gu Yue who expelled him, Tian Yue Gu Shi married the daughter of Tian Yue Dai Ming, and later... Inherited the entire Tianyue clan's territory.

Although the husband is a demon hundreds of meters tall, he is just a son-in-law after all, and he has received the knowledge of reading and writing ancient characters taught by Gu Shi. The wife feels that such a life is not bad.

Until Tianyue Jushi was too invested in the technologies he brought back from overseas, which led to the tragedy...

A huge experimental accident, the people of the entire Tianyue Territory have all turned into beast-like monsters. It happened to be a full moon night, and groups of monsters were fighting, beating each other, and even going crazy under the moon. The daimyo's territory is raging...

That disaster later became known as the Night Parade of Hundred Demons.

Tengetsu's last remaining isolated island in Wano Country was also called Onigashima... However, that was after General Kouzuki led the samurai to behead the completely crazy demon Tentsuki Gumi. thing.

The sword god Shigetsuki Ryoma chopped off the demon's huge head with one blow, but who knew that Tianyue Jushi did not die just like that.

His wife, the daughter of the former Tenzuki Daimyo, came out carrying a stone coffin, and after resentfully carving two lines of ancient text on the back of the coffin lid, she cried and cursed at the demon who had not died even though he had lost his head, saying that he would never be reincarnated.

It was the curse she placed on the sky and the moon.

Amidst the resentment and hatred, she also withered and died...

General Kozuki used the overseas technology brought by Tianyue Jushi to specially create a devil fruit, which turned Tianyue Jushi, who could not live or die, into a huge long-legged elephant, punishing him for carrying Tianyue's territory on his back.

As well as all the people of Tianyue who have become hairy monsters in their territory, they will walk on the sea forever and never come back.

Year after year passed, and as expected, the Elephant Master never returned to Wano Country.

Even when a huge change later swept the world, there was no trace of the elephant owner or the people on his back...

I don’t know when the Wano Country started to have a closed-door law.

Later, two or three hundred years passed...

Until a samurai named Musashi, the heir of the Kozuki family, learned about the history two to three hundred years ago, and decided to go to sea to find the elephant owner and confirm this dusty history.

…

Kozuki Musashi found the elephant master and the people of Tianyue on his back.

However, contrary to what he had guessed, what was on the Elephant Master's back was not a kingdom of death where beasts and monsters were rampant, but a happy and peaceful place called the Hairy Principality.

Because we are all furry! The furry people who called themselves fur tribe told him with a smile and accepted him very kindly.

Kozuki Musashi got along very well with the fur tribe. Their king, the Wolf Lord, had a good drinking capacity and his temper was very good to him. The two became brothers. As a witness, they had the crest of the sacred bird in the Kozuki family.

Around it, fur tribe patterns are added.

The banquet for several days and nights was as lively as fireworks...

The drunk Kozuki Musashi came to his senses and found that he had unknowingly arrived in the forest outside the fur tribe city alone... There was some voice guiding him, guiding him that there was a tomb underground here.

It is the voice of the Elephant Lord...

No, it’s the vision of the sky and the moon!

Because of his blood connection, Kozuki Musashi heard the voice of the huge long-legged elephant at his feet, and followed his guidance to find his wife's tomb.

After opening the sarcophagus and seeing the ancient characters on the back of the coffin lid, Kozuki Musashi collapsed completely.

…

"...I thought it was just a fable made up by the ancient Wano people after they accidentally met the Elephant Lord and combined it with the giant skull of Onigashima!"

In the underground tomb, Kozuki Musashi shouted loudly to the voice of the Elephant Master in his mind, "Because the people here are not like the people in the story at all! They... seem to be living well..."

"That's because... they have forgotten the past..." The Elephant Master's voice echoed in Kozuki Musashi's mind, "Whether or not to tell them this history is up to you... the heir of the Kozuki family, it is up to you to decide...

…』

Kozuki Musashi cried loudly, feeling extremely sad. At this moment, a trembling voice came from behind: "Musashi, what you just said...is it all true?!"

Kozuki Musashi was stunned and turned around suddenly. Under the moonlight was the Wolf Lord with a face full of disbelief.

"We were all ordinary human beings, but it was you, the people of the Kozuki family, who... made us like this?!" Wolf mainstream shed a line of tears.

Kozuki Musashi wanted to explain, "He is Tengetsu! Tentsuki has vision!"

The Wolf Lord gritted his teeth, "Since it is Tianyue, how come you are connected to him by blood? - He is still Guangyue after all!"

Kozuki Musashi was speechless.

The wolf master burst into tears and asked, "When did you know about it?"

"From the beginning..." Kozuki Musashi said slumped, "It was because I wanted to verify this legend that I left Wano Country and found this place..."

The Wolf Lord's face turned ferocious, "Then you actually drink with us and have a banquet together? Pretending that we have a good relationship?! Tell me, when everyone is having a banquet happily, when we treat you as one of our own

...What are you thinking in your heart? Say it, Kozuki Musashi!!!"

"I feel... I'm sorry." Kozuki Musashi's face turned gray and his lips trembled, "But I think that even if those legends are true, since you still want most people in Wano to have forgotten, then we will

You can start over! You guys are doing well now, right?"

Before he finished speaking, the wolf master roared angrily and pounced on him with claws that were tearing and pulsing with lightning.

"What are you doing, Wolf Lord!" Kozuki Musashi drew his sword to resist and said loudly, "We are brothers!"

"It was!!"

The Wolf Lord was already red-eyed, and the wolf's howl was full of unspeakable sadness...

In Crow City, where the banquet was bustling, the drunken fur tribes wondered: "Is there a wolf howling?"

"Did you hear that correctly? Haha, come and have a drink!"

"It's the wine that brothers Kozuki brought here. It seems to be much better than usual!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

In the deepest part of the night, a cold light passed through the underground tomb, and Kozuki Musashi killed the wolf lord with one sword.

Until the last time he breathed his last, the Wolf Lord's eyes were still staring at him.

Kozuki Musashi collapsed, holding the Wolf Lord's body in the underground tomb, crying bitterly against the moonlight above his head...

………………

"What happened next is just like what I said before... out of self-blame and remorse, Kozuki Musashi committed suicide by committing seppuku after leaving this last letter in ancient writing on the sea tower stone wall."

After Robin completed this period of history in Kozuki Musashi's final letter, he and Lynch jumped off Elephant Island and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​clouds below.

The cat and dog stood blankly on the edge of Elephant Island, without moving a step for a long, long time.

Until dusk falls, until night gradually rises.

Cat Viper made a "poof" sound, spit out his pipe, and fell into the surging clouds below. He said expressionlessly: "Hey, old dog... you said, Kozuki Oden, he knows this history.

?"

After not hearing Inarashi's response for a long time, Neko Viper couldn't help but turn his head and look over.

"have no idea……"
