"very funny!"

"That's good!"

The two women were just chatting quietly, or rather, Wano Country was currently in a state of peace and tranquility. Everyone was very warm and cozy, chatting quietly. This feeling was indeed a very comfortable thing.

……

"drink!"

"drink!"

The Tengu F4 were all laughing wildly, each holding a bottle of sake, while the shikigami around them collapsed one by one. Although they ultimately lost the drinking contest to Jorogumo, that doesn't mean they were weak! On the contrary, they were by no means weak.

At this moment!

Tengu F4, Lantern Fire, Broom God, Tubi, Lantern Boy, Red Tongue, Tomb Raider, Parasitic Soul, Tang Paper Umbrella Demon.

All twelve N-rank shikigami gathered together in Heian-kyo. They didn't have any complaints; they were just laughing and joking around, which actually made for a very pleasant experience!

The paper umbrella demon chuckled and said, "It really is you guys!"

"drink wine!"

"drink wine!"

Green came over and grabbed Tang Paper Umbrella Demon, laughing loudly as she tried to drink with her. Tang Paper Umbrella Demon had no choice but to comply! In the end, they drank the wine, and a lot of it. Each of the shikigami gradually became drunk and passed out.

……

"Really are……"

Seimei smiled and shook his head, watching the night gradually fall. Momiji lay on his lap, a smile appearing on his face. He gently stroked Momiji's half-length hair, raised his head slightly, and murmured, "This kind of life is truly peaceful and serene. For me, this is the life that suits me best!"

"but!"

"Pity!"

Seimei shook his head again and said casually, "No one can truly remain uninvolved. Perhaps! Only when one possesses the power to awe the entire world can one truly remain uninvolved! Before that, no one can truly give up all of this, which is truly a pity!"

This applies to everyone, even Seimei, who longed for such a peaceful life. There's no way around it! Or rather, no one can truly enjoy such peace. The reason is very simple: this is a chaotic world, and in such a chaotic world, no one, or rather, no one at all, can truly enjoy peace and tranquility.

You may not intend to harm others, but someone else may intend to harm you—this is always a fact, and the most important thing, because it's something you can never change.

Chapter 147: Seimei's Wrath! Provocation? March to War!

Peaceful life is always quiet. A month passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing happened. Everyone was enjoying this peaceful life. Everyone was smiling and gently enjoying life!

only!

Peace will always be broken, and those who break the peace will pay a price in blood and tears. You should know that Seimei is a gentle and refined person, but the more gentle and refined a person is, the more terrifying the price you will have to pay when you provoke him.

Seimei's expression was extremely calm, but the murderous intent that surfaced between his brows sent chills down one's spine. Terrifying! Horrible! Endless pressure—these words were absolutely the most fitting to describe Seimei at this moment. Horrifying! Destructive! Death! All these feelings were vividly displayed on Seimei.

"Little Lord!"

Kurotan Musamatsu's voice hesitated slightly. She wasn't afraid, but looking at Seimei, she said softly, "Young Master! Please calm down. These things aren't a big deal. If you get sick from getting angry, it's really not worth it."

"Ok!"

Seimei nodded slightly, picked up the teacup, and took a small sip of the slightly bitter tea. His expression was very calm, filled with indifferent indifference, and his eyes seemed to be devoid of any emotion.

The slight bitterness stimulated him, causing his aura to rise rapidly before gradually returning to calm! Throughout, Seimei's expression remained remarkably indifferent, his calm demeanor as if nothing had happened.

only!

Some things cannot be suppressed. Seimei's aura was extremely terrifying and eerie. After all, what happened was absolutely unacceptable to Seimei.

"Grandma Muchan".

Seimei slowly asked, "Is the news confirmed?"

"Yes!"

Kurozumi Hachiko nodded and said, "When a branch of our Kurozumi clan returned to Wano Country, they were detained in a certain country, but we don't know which country it is yet. The other party is demanding 300 billion Berries to be delivered within three days, otherwise they will kill everyone and hang their corpses."

"I see."

Seimei nodded quietly, but his eyes no longer held the gentleness of the past, only endless indifference and detachment. To attack the people of Wano Country? And with 300 billion Berries? Delivered within three days?

Such actions have angered Seimei. For Seimei, money is of course not an issue; he has plenty of this stuff and doesn't care about money. He's willing to pay any amount. But! The other party doesn't seem to have any real intention of making a proper deal.

Seimei wasn't a person with a violent temper, but! Seimei was definitely not the kind of person who would let you live even if you came looking for trouble. Very well! Since you've done such a thing, you'll have to pay a huge price.

That's right!

Someone has made a move against Wano Country, capturing the branch family of the Kurozumi clan who returned this time. These people were not killed, but the other party demanded 300 billion Berries. This 300 billion Berries is nothing to Seimei, and he doesn't care about it.

after all!

300 billion Berries. If you were willing to have a proper conversation, Seimei, though not afraid of losing face, might still be able to save your life given his gentle nature. But! His requirement is delivery within three days?! Actually, this is an outrageous thing. You have to understand! Within the New World, or in such a vast ocean, delivery within three days is almost impossible.

To put it bluntly, their only goal is to kill you. They want you dead and to bring shame upon Wano Country. That's the only outcome. In fact, we don't even know who did it, which is the most terrifying thing.

"Whoo~~~"

Exhaling a soft breath, Seimei calmly asked, "Grandma Muchan, is it really impossible to find any information?"

Kurozumi Higurashi shook her head and said, "According to Wano Country's intelligence methods, we can't find any information. We don't know who the other party is or anything."

Seimei nodded and said calmly, "It seems that the people who took this action were not from the other side, or rather, the other side is a very powerful force. They want to make Wano Country pay the price and completely cut off Wano Country's current rate of progress. That is their idea."

"Yes!"

Kurozumi Musashi nodded seriously and said, "Young Master, this must be their idea. It is indeed so! After all, if Wano Country continues to develop, the resulting improvement will be enormous."

"Ok!"

Seimei nodded, seemingly deep in thought, his eyes slightly narrowed as he considered something, but no one knew what he was thinking.

honestly!

In this situation, unless Seimei is an idiot, he knows exactly what's going on. To put it simply, the situation in Wano Country is very simple. To put it even more simply, Wano Country's rate of improvement is too fast, to the point that it's unacceptable. Because of this, many people don't want Wano Country to continue improving. So how should this be dealt with?

actually!

This is already a very simple matter. Since we don't want Wano Country to continue to improve, the best way is to restrict its development, and the most appropriate way is to thoroughly strike Wano Country on a global scale.

If Seimei were to be rescued, you wouldn't be able to find him even after three days. Since these important figures have blocked information, finding him won't be an easy task. And even if you manage to handle everything, what about Wano Country? It might be invaded when you leave!

And that's the root of the problem! All the positions are interconnected, all aimed at your Wano Country. And the best thing for your Wano Country is to do nothing and watch the other side die.

That would be the best-case scenario. You wouldn't even have spent any money, but your status in the world would be permanently diminished, or even completely destroyed. And that would be the most terrifying thing.

By then, it will be impossible for Wano Country to advance further in this world. You may have power, and you may be able to kill me, but I will never consider you a noble king. That is the fundamental problem.

Seimei's mind stirred slightly, and in an instant, as darkness emerged, the figure of Orochi appeared with a smile, saying calmly, "Seimei, what has happened?"

Seimei calmly said, "Orochi, I need you to go to Fishman Island. No matter who it is, if they dare to cause trouble on Fishman Island, deal with them all, leave no one alive, and do not let Kanjuro and Semimaru be harmed."

"It's just a simple matter, but! This time, it's obvious that others are working together against you. It's really interesting! Human actions are truly fascinating."

Orochi found it extremely amusing, even unusually so. This was a conspiracy by those nations against Seimei! And that was precisely why Orochi found it so interesting. For Orochi, a person who loved to amuse himself, how could such a thing not be interesting?

Seimei nodded and said, "I know! So, the matter of Fishman Island is entrusted to you. No matter what, I don't want any problems to arise on Fishman Island."

"No problem at all!"

With a smile, the figure of Orochi gradually disappeared without a trace, vanishing in an instant like a fleeting shadow. Seimei, meanwhile, quietly narrowed his eyes, deep in thought, carefully considering various issues. After a moment, Seimei continued, "Grandma Musashi, go and summon everyone!"

"Yes!"

Kurozumi Musashi respectfully withdrew, while Seimei narrowed his eyes slightly. The surrounding scenery suddenly became dreamlike, like a place filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. Besides Seimei, Suzuka Gozen and Ōtakemaru were also there.

Ōtakemaru looked at Seimei and asked, "Seimei, what happened?"

Seimei nodded slightly and said softly, "Something has happened that requires you to deal with something. You need to return to Wano Country within a day. No matter what, you all need to return to Wano Country. Unfortunately, your journey may have to be postponed."

"It doesn't matter!"

Ōtakemaru casually remarked, "It seems someone has made a move against Wano Country. This is truly interesting! How dare they attack my Wano Country?"

"Hehehe~~~"

Seimei could hear Ōtakemaru's words and chuckled as he asked, "Ōtakemaru, since when did Wano Country become yours?"

Ōtakemaru said with great confidence, "Suzuka Mountain belongs to me, so Wano Country naturally belongs to me too, hahaha~~~ But! No problem, I can get to Wano Country in half a day, don't worry! I will let the whole world know just how powerful I am."

"Ok!"

Seimei nodded seriously. This matter was definitely very troublesome. No matter what, the return of Ōtakemaru and Suzuka Gozen was necessary. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to handle it well. Rather than saying it was impossible, it would be an understatement to say it was extremely difficult.

It can be said!

This will be the most dangerous time since the founding of Wano Country, without a doubt! Seimei could clearly sense that many people were secretly watching, and they were no longer satisfied with the development speed of Wano Country, just like the giants of Elbaf back then. He wanted to go further.

However, many people have blocked it, and the same is true for Wano Country now. Want to go any further? That's absolutely impossible! It's best to leave this matter here, otherwise! They will come to stop you, and Seimei wants to see what the outcome will be today.

To put it another way, this vast ocean has always been right before my eyes. Let me see what the final outcome will be, what the victory or defeat will be!
