Onmyoji of the Grand Line

Page 147

The first generation was undoubtedly the most powerful period. As time goes by, although the strength will gradually return to a stable state, it is almost impossible to see the peak of the first generation again.

Just like how the founding generals of each dynasty are the most numerous at that time, but later on, it becomes almost impossible to find so many famous generals. Heroes emerge in times of chaos! In peaceful times, however, it is almost impossible to have so many heroes. This is the fundamental reason.

Adam was very clear about this, or rather, everyone was very clear about it, but it was almost impossible; it could only be improved gradually over time.

The reason is simple: as time goes by and peace arrives, who will be willing to truly manage their own affairs? To strive for personal growth? That's pure nonsense!

but!

Regardless, that's no longer important. Adam needs to consider other things, how to deal with other problems in Wano Country, instead of simply taking action himself. It's unrealistic to target Wano Country by taking action himself.

"Hmm~"

Squinting, Adam began to ponder. As time passed, an idea came to him. If he remembered correctly, then... Seimei was once a pirate, and as a member of the Rocks Pirates, what about that identity?

Adam narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "This identity, while it may not seem to affect anything, is... but if we could target the others, even though they're pirates, what about their overall strength?"

"Humph!"

A smile played on Adam's lips, his expression utterly calm. He already had some ideas, ideas that, while quite dangerous, were something he was confident in. After all, in this era, money was practically meaningless to Adam's kingdom.

Actually!

For these superpowers, apart from the Elbaf Giant Kingdom, any superpower that has existed for more than three hundred years has accumulated a terrifying amount of wealth and is simply not worth their attention.

……

the other side!

Ghost ship!

Seimei narrowed his eyes slightly, and a terrifying aura emerged from all directions. In an instant, dozens of figures dressed in black suits emerged from the seabed around them and rushed out, their eyes flashing with terrifying killing intent.

"Get rid of it."

Seimei simply waved his hand dismissively, but the meaning was already very clear.

"Yes!"

Yaodaoji bowed slightly, and the next moment, the katana in her hand flashed with a crimson light. All the assassins didn't even have the chance to fight back before they fell to the ground, instantly losing their lives. The change in this instant was too fast.

but!

Seeing this, Adam felt it was only natural. If these mere assassins could take care of these guys, it would be a joke. But, let's give it a try! Anyway, they weren't his own people; they were all other people's forces. If these people were lost, it wouldn't affect Adam at all.

Of course.

Adam also no longer cared about these things.

"Humph!"

A smile played on his lips as Adam turned and left without hesitation. Since it was over, he might as well leave it at that for now. He had recovered from his rage! Now, he would truly show no mercy.

This is the difference between superpowers, the Dark Emperor, and Yonko-level pirate crews! The reason the Five Elders find the fall of a Yonko so troublesome is because the fall of one Yonko would trigger a global frenzy among pirates...

Since the Rocks era, the pirate world has gradually become beyond our control, no longer something we could easily deal with. Starting with the rise of Roger, Edward, and Shiki, the era became increasingly chaotic, culminating in the Great Pirate Era, which was the most chaotic period ever! Things were almost out of control.

Therefore!

The entire ocean was in utter chaos, even to the extreme. Edward's death in the Marineford War brought about a terrifying battle, that much is certain. That's just how the battlefield is. Secondly, what will happen if Kaido and Big Mom, two of the Four Emperors, fall at the same time?

It's already self-evident that for those crazy pirates, things will become even crazier. This is the chain reaction brought about by the fall of the two Yonko, and it's the most troublesome thing. It's not that the madness of the entire era is the biggest problem.

That's absolutely beyond doubt.

This is why the biggest difference between major powers and the Four Emperors is that the mainstay of a Four Emperor's pirate crew is almost always the Four Emperor himself. As for the other Yonko's vice commanders? Katakuri! King! Beckman! Marco! With the fall of the Four Emperors, they are simply not qualified to be called mainstays. Even Beckman is the same. They are really not qualified to be called top-tier mainstays and cannot support a pirate crew.

This is the root cause: a super-powerful force with only one person as its pillar? Other major forces are different; no matter who falls, there's always a replacement. That's the key!

This is why these people have always targeted Seimei.

the reason is simple!

Seimei is the core of Wano Country. If Seimei is eliminated, the entire Wano Country will naturally collapse. This is the biggest problem for a newly established power, because apart from this pillar, there is no other core.

actually!

If the Four Emperors' pirate crews were given more time, allowing them to transition from a few decades to hundreds or even two hundred years, the situation would be completely different. They would become a true system, and at that point, they would be a superpower.

8 What a pity!

5. Sometimes, things are hard to predict. Pirates have always been powerful forces, but unfortunately, for these crazy guys, wanting to go smoothly is impossible. Pirates are a group of completely insane guys who risk their lives.

2 This is a very important matter.

This is the very essence of the world!

0 “Hmph!”

4. A smile appeared on his lips. Adam wasn't entirely unable to accept the losses suffered by the Demon Army, but he would wait and see what happened next. Since it was a battle of attrition, a pure contest of internal strength, Adam didn't think he couldn't handle Wano Country.

2. Wano Country is just a newly risen nation. If we can't deal with it, then the Adam Kingdom might as well be dead! That would be too shameful! We dare not back down. No matter the outcome, everything is just beginning.

7. "Kurozumi Seimei!!!"

8. "We are destined to be enemies!"

"Humph!"

Adam smiled, his expression perfectly calm—this was the composure and courage a leader of a power should possess!

Chapter 172: Calm? It's only just begun!

"Qingming!"

"Little Lord!"

Ibaraki-dōji and Minamoto no Yorimitsu have also returned to their voyage, leading the Oni soldiers back to the Oni ship.

"Hahaha~~~"

Ibaraki-dōji laughed heartily, "That was truly exhilarating! Exhilarating! But, Seimei, such an opponent is simply not enough! Is there no stronger opponent? What I love most is to tear apart opponents like this with my own hands!"

"Hehehe~~~"

Seimei smiled and said, "Don't worry, a more suitable opponent will appear soon. However! If you lose then, Ibaraki, it will be a very embarrassing situation!"

"cut!"

Ibaraki-dōji scoffed, "You look down on me? Do you think I'd lose to those trash? I'll show you just how powerful the oni really are!"

Seimei simply smiled and shook his head. However! Although Ibaraki spoke arrogantly, he was quite wary inside. As a member of the Oni clan, he also loved fighting and drinking, but he was definitely not a person who acted without thinking. Otherwise, Ibaraki-dōji would not have come up with the idea of ​​transforming into a beautiful woman.

This is Ibaraki-dōji, a person who inherited everything from the oni clan, yet possesses remarkable composure.

"Humph!"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu simply shook his head and said, "The strong in this world are by no means weak. Ibaraki-dōji, you'd better be careful. After all, if you die, it will be troublesome for the young master to revive you, which is quite a troublesome matter."

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Isn't it 22?!"

Listening to Minamoto no Yorimitsu and Ibaraki-dōji arguing, Seimei smiled and shook his head. He was used to it anyway; that was just their personality. Although Minamoto no Yorimitsu had only inherited Minamoto no Yorimitsu's legacy, well, even though it was just an inheritance, he still had to retain some of the essential traits, especially his dislike for the oni race.

And if Ibaraki-dōji could like Minamoto no Yorimitsu, that would be even more outrageous. So, all the issues boil down to this: it sounds simple, but in reality, it's not that easy at all.

Just as Adam understood, the foundation of Wano Country was Seimei. If Seimei were to encounter any problem, the outcome would be self-evident!

"Returning to base!"

Seimei ignored the two and calmly issued an order. With Seimei's command, the ghost ship set off at a terrifying speed and headed straight into the distance. On the ghost ship, Hanabusa looked at the two arguing and said with amusement, "Seriously! If it weren't for Lord Seimei, the entire Wano Country would probably be in complete chaos by now, right?"

"Will not!"

Yaodao-hime calmly shook her head and said, "If it weren't for Lord Seimei, none of us would be here, and then everything would be meaningless."

"Hehehe~~~"

Hearing Yaodao-hime's words, Hana-no-Maki chuckled and shook her head. Although it wasn't a very pleasant way to put it, a little thought revealed that it was actually the most truthful statement. It was the truth! If it weren't for Seimei, everyone would have died, and none of this would have happened. Everything would have been completely different.

Smiling and shaking her head, Hanabusa quietly observed everything before her, whispering softly, "It is because of Lord Seimei's existence that we were able to be reborn! This feeling is truly a completely different one!"

Gently shaking her head, Hua Niao Juan didn't say anything more, nor did she intend to do anything else. Instead, she wanted to finish her painting. All she wanted to do was complete her painting and bring it to an end. This was what Hua Niao Juan wanted to do most.

She wants to complete her painting, undergo a gradual transformation, and thus better assist Lord Seimei. This is what Hana-no-Maki wants to do.

Yoto Hime! Hana & Tori! Yuki Onna!

The three women were almost the first to become Lord Seimei's shikigami. As for Fuuta and Hakuro? They couldn't transform, so there was nothing to say. Now, Yoto Hime and Yuki Onna have already transformed and awakened, leaving only herself. Hana no Maki still feels a bit anxious and wants to complete her transformation quickly.

Of course!

None of this is an important thing.

"..."

Standing to the side, the Snow Woman, who had transformed from a young girl into an elegant mature woman, still maintained her aloofness, as if she had no emotions whatsoever. This was the Snow Woman's personality; she was always like this, almost always.
