Kapitel 72: Wano Country Liberation

After Kaido fled in defeat, Wano Country did not have any other troubles. As for Kurozumi Orochi, all his eight heads were cut by Kin'emon and the rest of the Nine Red Scabbards.

Orochi and Kaido's reign would naturally come to an end following the end of this war.

However, Kozuki Clan also perished because Kurozumi Higurashi used her ability to turn into Kozuki Oden. After approaching Toki and Momonosuke, she immediately killed them.

She did this to eliminate any trouble for Kaido and Orochi as they ruled Wano Country. However, she did not expect that Kaido would be defeated in that war. Vongola, who suddenly came to this country, emerged as the victor.

She was also killed after Nekomamushi and Inuarashi rushed back.

Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido's remaining men were also killed by the samurais that Hyogoro led in just a few days, of course, with the help of the Vongola Family.

Flower Capital, Shogun's Mansion.

Giotto and Ugetsu Asari stayed there for the time being, and no one dared to complain. After all, even Kaido was defeated by them, so how could there be someone who was stupid enough to provoke these two?

"The Family is in a good track. I have to go to Secon Island and relax in the hot spring once we're done here. Besides, I haven't seen Knuckle for a long time.

After listening to Giotto, Ugetsu said with a relaxed face, "But then again, why is there only me and Knuckle now? Where are the other guardians like G, Lampow, and Alaudi now?"

There was another Guardian, but Ugetsu Asari deliberately did not mention the name of that person because that guy was the only traitor among Vongola Primo's Guardians. Although Giotto did not blame him for anything, the other guardians didn't think the same.

The Mist Guardian, Demon Spade!

"They should join us soon. Of course, Arnold is an exception." Giotto said after a pause.

Of course, Giotto couldn't just come out and say that it depended on the system when and which Guardian would be unlocked next, right?

As for why Arnold was excluded, it wasn't because Giotto hated him, but because Arnold was the Cloud Guardian. Even if he was unlocked, it was very likely that he wouldn't stay with the Family. He himself was a lone wolf that refused to be bound by any shackle and protected the Family on his own.

"Well, that's just how Alaudi is. In any case, he will definitely come when the Family is in trouble." Ugetsu Asari nodded and smiled.

At this moment, a burly man with fiery hair and goatee walked in slowly with a few other similarly dignified people. When they were about ten meters away from Giotto, they stopped.

The burly man was none other than Hyogoro!

Giotto only knew two others among them. One of them was Kozuki Clan's retainer, Kin'emon, and the other was Shimotsuki Yasuie, Hakumai's Daimyo that served Kozuki Clan!

From these few people, it was clear that these people were influential figures in Wano Country.

"What's the matter, Hyogoro-dono?"

Ugetsu Asari stood directly in front of Giotto. He looked cautiously at the people who suddenly came in. Although he did not think that these people could threaten Vongola Family, if they did anything suspicious, he would definitely kill them mercilessly.

"You're the swordsman who cut Kaido down in the rainstorm, Ugetsu Asari-dono, right?"

Shimotsuki Yasuie immediately said: "There's no need to be on guard. We have no ill intentions here. We are only here to continue Oden's last wish. At the same time, we seek a little protection for this suffering country."

Oden's last wish was to free Wano Country. Now that Kurozumi Orochi was killed and Kaido fled, it should've been achieved, so what did they mean by continue?

Giotto frowned and looked at the people in front of him with some doubt. "If you have something to say, just say it."

After Hyogoro and the others looked at each other, he braced himself and said, "We hope that Vongola Family can protect this country. Of course, Wano Country will hang on Vongola Family's Emblem!"

Although this decision made Giotto a little surprised, it kind of made sense...

Although Wano Country was now free, they had lost Kozuki Oden. With the remaining warriors, it was difficult to endure the danger that might arise in the future. Besides, Kaido merely escaped, not died. Who knew when he would come back with a large group of pirates?

If that time came, Wano Country did not have enough strength to fight against Kaido!

So they needed a force that could push back Kaido. Such a mighty force indeed existed, but they didn't know any other aside from the Vongola Family. Thus, after some discussions, Hyogoro and the others felt that the best choice was the Vongola Family.

Moreover, at Oden's last moment, he entrusted the wish of liberating this country to Vongola Giotto, which also made it clear that he also trusted the Vongola Family.

Although he was at odds with the Vongola Family because of Kurozumi Kanjuro before, he made such a choice!

Shimotsuki Yasuie felt that they could also trust people that Oden trusted!

In addition, Hyogoro also believed in his savior, which was also Vongola's Rain Guardian, Ugetsu Asari.

With all these reasons added together, they came here.

"Your Excellency Vongola Primo!"

At this time, Kin'emon suddenly knelt down on one knee to Giotto. He said solemnly, "Wano Country will follow Oden-sama's will to open this country, and once we do, it is likely that the country will face more dangers. Only you can protect our country. I implore you to lend Vongola Family's Emblem to Wano Country. If you have a grudge because of our previous offense, I am willing to atone for it with my life!"

Giotto did not say anything. He was silent for a long time as he was lost in thought.

Accepting Wano Country's allegiance was a good thing for the Family. It could speed up the development of the Family. Moreover, Wano Country was rich in resources and could support the Family's finances.

The only problem was that tough Kaido...

"So be it. Vongola Family's Emblem shall shine in Wano Country from this day!".
