Chapter 1010: Fate Will Be in Your Own Hands

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yagyu Ishiguro, a citizen of the People’s Republic of Japan, is also a famous craftsman of the People’s Republic of Japan. As a person who has a lot of Seastone and excellent weapon manufacturing technology, his level of craftsman is not comparable to ordinary people.

You have to know that most of the knives were made by the people of Wano Country.

In addition to the craftsman, he was also one of the subordinates of Mitsuki Oden when he was still alive 20 years ago.

When Oden went to sea, Kaido attacked. It was he who fought Kaido’s men every day and ensured that Kaido’s men would not invade the Country of Peace.

When Oden first came back, he was full of confidence and found his backbone, thinking that he could drive Kaido out in one fell swoop.

As long as they are united, no matter how many casualties they suffer, Kaido will definitely retreat.

Yagyu Ishiguro thought so at that time. Even when Oden sent the news of his defeat, he also thought so.

If he was defeated, he would save him and continue fighting.

But from then on, the situation changed. Oden became a fool and only knew how to dance naked every day for three years, making the people of the Country of Peace think that he was really a fool.

Yagyu Ishiguro also knew that Oden had changed, but later, Kamen Guardian told him that this was Kaido’s threat. Oden couldn’t bear to hurt the residents of the Country of Peace, so he agreed to dance naked every day.

It was incomprehensible. Yagyu Ishiguro could not understand this situation at all. Since Oden is now intact, he will continue to fight Kaido.

Why did it become like this? Why did he stop them from continuing?

Yagyu Shihu did not understand, but he did not understand at that time. Oden was Kuri’s name, and he was Kuri’s samurai and craftsman, so he could only listen to Oden.

Perhaps Oden is right…

Because during this period of time, Kaido indeed did not commit any crimes. Maybe in three years, when Kaido retreats, they can still pull down the Black Snake who stole the Country of Peace and turn the General of the Country of Peace into the Light Moon Family.

However, with the unethical use of Cooking Punishment on Oden, Yagyu Ishiguro thought that Oden would resist. As long as he raised his arm and called for help, so many samurai in the Kingdom of Peace would deal with Kaido under the leadership of Oden, but he did not…

There are so many people who want to fight!

Why not fight!

Why did he accept the punishment of cooking? That thing is obviously a trap!

However, that was the Lord’s request. Even though he knew that this matter was not right, Yagyu Shihu still held back, or rather, he was at a loss at that time.

The violent conflict in his mind has caused his thoughts to become chaotic. Should he resist? But Oden, who is a daimyo, doesn’t resist, why should he resist? He is just a samurai, he should respect the orders of His Majesty, but he should fight and resist.

Why didn’t he resist when he was about to die?

Until Oden was cooked to death and the so-called ‘Nine Heroes’ escaped, he fell into a huge contradiction.

Was it anger?

Angry Lord’s stupidity, angry that the so-called ‘Nine Heroes’ have no brains?

It’s still time to laugh and smile in relief, thinking that “Nine Heroes” is only following the arrangement of Oden, and Oden himself is also for the sake of righteousness, and should be gratified.

The two strong contradictions made Yagyu Ishiguro completely change. Three days after Oden’s death, he became the kind of person who would laugh when angry, be happy and angry, and his feelings were the opposite of his expression.

Then, he fled the Country of Peace and wandered aimlessly on the sea, joining various pirate groups. He did not rob civilians, but he would say the same thing to those who guarded the town, just as Kaido and Black Snake said to Oden.

For those who agreed, he only let them go and did not let them die, but the invasion of the island will still be invaded. Looking at the desperate expressions of those people, that kind of expression will remind Yagyu Shihu of the past.

If Oden was still alive at that time and saw that the pirates had invaded his home, would he be so desperate, would he resist, or would he sink into oblivion?

But that was only if Oden was already dead, and the person who was right or wrong was already dead. Yagyu Ishiguro could no longer personally ask Oden if he was right or wrong.

He could only ask these similar people, these people who naively believed his words, if they would regret it.

Some people answered that they did not regret it, and some people would fight back, but they were not Oden.

Until now …

Until now!

He saw it. He finally saw a person who did not believe him at all and dared to resist!

It was not that they had not encountered it before, but they did not have the heart to die, nor did they have the heart to let others die with them. It was just one person. That was also a kind of naivety. He was a pirate. Even if he died alone, could he make them stop expanding their power?

But this was different. He gathered everyone around him, including the civilians, their eyes…

It was just like his eyes in the past, he was willing to die. If at that time, the people of the Kingdom of Peace, including Oden, had this look, would Charcoal Snake really continue to sit in the position of general? Would Kaido really not retreat?

“Captain, don’t talk nonsense with them, we…”

Bang!

Yagyu Shihu swung his arm, and the force of the punch directly shattered the pirate who spoke, and even the people near him were destroyed, splashing a rain of blood, making a gap in the pirate crowd.

“Why?”

Yagyu Shihu looked at Wilbur and said seriously, “Why do you believe this? Maybe I will really let you go. If you think about it this way, you only need to pay a little dignity and try to believe my words, won’t this island and life be saved?”

“Why should I believe you?”

Wilbur said seriously: “You are the enemy, and we only believe in our will and the weapon in our hands. Even if we die, we choose to believe it!”

“What about the prophecy? What if the prophecy tells you to do this?” Yagyu Ishiguro widened his eyes, thinking about what answer he wanted. “The prophecy tells you that in ten or twenty years, your hometown will be saved, but until then, it is enough to just endure, you just need to endure…”

“What are you talking about!”

Wilbur looked at Yagyu Ishiguro in confusion and said, “Mr. Kuro once said that if anyone tells his fortune, he will tell that person that you have a bloody disaster today. Although I don’t know what it means, I understand the last sentence. Mr. Kuro said that fate is in his own hands because he believes in himself the most.”

These words shocked Yagyu Shihu, and his whole body trembled. His small eyes were wide and bloodshot.

“Fate is in my hands, and… believe, yes, believe!!”

Yagyu Shihu’s expression gradually became sad. It was no longer the opposite of happiness and anger. His eyes, his expression, and his tone were angry and sad.

“Oden! You would rather believe in the enemy and believe in that prophecy than believe in us!!!”

Yagyu Shihu shed tears of blood. He bent down and growled, “It has never happened before. You would rather believe the enemy than us subordinates. They have listened to your orders and suffered for 20 years just for your so-called prophecy. The Country of Peace has to suffer for 20 years for no reason. Why? Why!”
