Chapter 542: The Eve of the Decisive Battle (1)
As night falls, there are still 15 hours left before "Kotsuki Momonosuke" ascends to the throne of the Daimyo.
This is the headquarters of the Hundred Beast Pirates, the "Island of Samurai" and the base camp of the Hundred Beasts in the country!
"Quick! Hurry up and arrange for three pirate ships to go to the Arsenal!" Five minutes ago, it had just received a request for support from the Arsenal, but the Arsenal had been under attack for more than half an hour.
The reason why the arsenal sent a request to the headquarters is not that it has been defeated. It's just that all the long-range artillery bombardment they used for defense has been destroyed, and if they are attacked by other enemies, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Don't grind around here. Hurry up and notify the people in the vicinity, so that they can also hurry over to support, and the perpetrators will definitely not be able to escape!" "Although the Hundred Beast Pirates are one of the four emperor forces, they have made a big move, and they have been in constant friction with many forces in recent years.
Therefore, they have long had a response to the attack on the arsenal.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the enemy was able to successfully land at the port, which was not a trivial problem, so the members of the Hundred Beast Pirates paid so much attention. Normally, the enemy was sunk by defensive batteries before they could approach the port.
And this time, they actually let the enemy make trouble in the port, if they don't deal with it quickly, with the character of Hundred Beast Kaido, they will definitely not let them go - the protection is not effective, but they will be sentenced to the same crime as the enemy!
"What's going on?" X. Drake noticed that his subordinates were suddenly in a hurry, and there was some nervousness in their eyes.
It was obvious that something important had happened, but the alarm on the headquarters side did not sound, which meant that something had happened to the other territory of Hundred Beast Kaido. It might as well stop one or two of the pirates and ask them what happened.
"Is it Captain Drake?" The pirate who was suddenly stopped by X Drake saw that it was the captain of the Drake pirate ship who was asking him, and he was also a little excited in his heart, and quickly replied: "The subordinates are not very clear. I heard that the arsenal seems to have been attacked by the Batow Club and the Handsome Pirates!"
Batow's Club?
Red FlagΒ· When X. Drake heard this, he was stunned, thinking to himself that this was not the Straw Hats' pirates? Why did they suddenly join forces to attack Kaido's arsenal? Could it be that the Straw Hats are finally going to make a move?
Red FlagΒ· In order to get more information, X. Drake asked again, "Apart from these two pirates, is there anyone else?"
"This subordinate doesn't know!" This pirate is an errand runner after all, and he can only know about the attack on the arsenal, and it is only because he was sent to supply the pirate ship on the expedition, and he overheard it.
"Go get busy!" X. Drake also didn't want to attract unwanted attention from others, and no one knew what he was thinking.
But he knew that it would be impossible for the Bato Club and the Handsome Pirates to join forces for no reason, and it was directly against the Beast Kaido's arsenal, and ordinary people would not do such a self-defeating thing. So Red Flag Β· The only explanation that X. Drake came up with was that the Straw Hats were finally going to act.
Of course, the Red Flag Β· X. Drake could guess this, and the leaders of some of the other factions would guess it, but only if they knew what had just happened.

Also on the territory of the "Samurai Island" and the country.
In order to avoid being discovered, the Straw Hats have once again moved a new stronghold - a stronghold that can be moved!
This is the castle space inside William's body, and William himself temporarily disguised himself as a fake samurai through the disguise ability of Kitsune Nishimomon. As long as William didn't talk to anyone, the warriors here wouldn't notice the anomaly, and certainly no one would take the initiative to talk to William, a stranger.
"How many allies can you contact, little ghost?" Trafalgar Rowe glanced at Mitsuki Momonosuke in the castle space.
If it weren't for Mitsuki Momonosuke's behavior of startling the snake, they wouldn't be so passive now. If they have another three or four days to prepare, as the heir to the daimyo of Kotsuki Momonosuke, they can definitely recruit a lot of allies, and at least with the identity of the heir of the daimyo they can also rebel against many samurai.
But now they only have less than 15 hours left, because tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, the shogun will announce that Mitsuki Momonosuke's impostor is the official daimyo.
If the imposter ascends to the position of the Great Lord, it will inevitably be much more difficult to defeat the Hundred Beast Kaido, at least the losses on their side will increase, which is not what they want to see.
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β Kotsuki Momonosuke didn't speak, originally they had recruited a group of samurai who wanted to overthrow the shogun to join, but because their whereabouts were exposed, they had already lost this group of allies.
Although there are still many allies who are willing to continue to die for the Mitsuki family, the current situation is that there are two Momonosuke Mitsuki at the same time, and you say that those samurai will believe that which one is true.
At least until the truth about the cause of Mitsuki Mita's death is revealed, all the samurai will definitely choose to believe the shogun.
Because the shogun has always had a high status in the country of Wano, it can be said that it is the only one for the daimyo. And the real Mitsuki Momonosuke hooked up with pirates, how do you make those samurai who hate pirates feel?
"Even if we don't have to rely on this little ghost, can't we take down Kaido?" Luffy didn't have the intention of participating in the strategic discussion meeting at all, and if it wasn't for the sake of the food on the table, he would rather run to fight.
"Shut up, you idiot!" D. Sambo endured the dissatisfaction in his heart, of course, he was not the only one who was dissatisfied.
Go straight to the Beast Kaido fight?
Let's not talk about whether the three captains can defeat the Hundred Beast Kaido if they join forces, I'm afraid that before they see the Hundred Beast Kaido, they will be consumed by the thousands of samurai.
What day is tomorrow?
It was the day when the daimyo heir ascended the throne, and at least nearly half of the samurai would appear. If it was a war of attrition, they could not afford to consume it, at least the people present did not want to lose their partners.
That's why they're sitting here to discuss tomorrow's battle strategy, because it involves the politics of Wano Country. William and the others all hoped that Mitsuki Momonosuke would be able to settle all the samurai as the heir of the daimyo and not participate in the battle between them and the Hundred Beasts Kaido.
