One Piece: The World's Strongest in Roger's Era

Chapter 426 The End of Wano Country

Their expressions remained unchanged, and they showed no mercy for the death of Kozuki Momonosuke.

The only person in the whole audience who sobbed over the death of Momonosuke Kozuki was the little Hiyori Kozuki in the corner.

Although Hiyori is very young, a baby who has not yet left the warm embrace of his mother, learning to walk and speak, he has a deep understanding of his family.

The concept of "brother" has already been deeply planted in Hiyori's heart.

Now that her parents and brother had been brutally murdered in front of her one after another, it would be strange for Hiyori not to cry.

Lex paid no attention to the sobbing Hiyori, his eyes still fixed on Oleini:

"How do you plan to arrange for this orphan of the Guangyue lineage?"

Since Oleini made the decision on his own and promised Tianyueshi to guarantee the safety of Guangyue Hiyori, Lex would not interfere and show off his parent's power.

Whatever Oleini wants to do, then support him with all your strength. If he does it well, everything will be fine. If he does it badly, Lex will help him deal with it.

This is the philosophy that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Leon family.

Back then, when Lex decided to kill Mary Joa and start a huge war, didn't the Golden Lion know about it?

Not only is it crystal clear, but we also fully support it!

even if

It doesn't matter if he fails, the Golden Lion will die in front of Lex without hesitation. This is the ambition of the Flying Admiral, the glory of the Leon family.

The same principle applies to Lex's treatment of Oleani.

Oleini understood all of his father's intentions and replied in a gentle voice:

"How about changing your surname to Ugetsu and supporting him as the new leader of Wano Country as our agent?"

Lex nodded. Although Oleini's idea was not perfect, having such a way of thinking already showed that he had the initial qualities of a qualified commander.

Lex added:

"Find Figni, the vice-captain of the fifth fleet of the Hiku Pirates, and use the Memory Fruit to clear the memory of Kozuki Hiyori. Kozuki and Hiyori's bloodline can exist, but their will is not necessary."

Oleini humbly accepted the advice: "Understood."

After the words fell, Oleini paused, and then continued to ask:

"Father, ... about Ugetsu, you——"

Lex waved his hand gently, signaling Oleini not to say anything more.

After all, slaughtering one's own family is not a glorious thing. Although Golden Lion, Rex, Gion, Oleini, and Yunxiu are all half descendants of the Uzuki family, they have never received any favors from them. Even Gion's father, Uzuki Torii, had to follow the fleet and leave Wano Country to open his own kendo dojo in the North Sea because of a disagreement with his family.

Oleini understood and didn't mention the matter again.

When Lex and Oleini, the two glories of Leon, choose to bury something, it is very likely that this thing will completely disappear, and no one will ever mention this sea again.

These are the two people with the highest actual power in this ocean——

Leon Lex.

Leon Oleani.

Lex stopped paying attention to Kozuki's affairs and began to pace towards the direction of the Flower Capital, neither hurried nor slow.

Seeing this, Barrett consciously followed Lex, and seeing this, Oleini also walked obediently beside Lex.

The Red Earl followed Oleini only after he saw him move.

"How about the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

Lex asked about Oleini, the Dark-Dark Fruit, a fruit that Lex had spent a lot of effort to find a few years ago.

Logically speaking, devil fruits with special destinies, like the Nika Fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit, the legendary mythical beast fruit of the Elbaf giant prince Loki, and the Blue Dragon Fruit, are not so easy to find.

The more you try to look for it, the less likely you are to find it.

Behind the scenes of history, Im ruled this sea for more than 800 years. During this period, he dispatched the forces of the World Government several times to pursue the Nika Fruit, but was repeatedly escaped by the Nika Fruit's autonomous will.

The fruit has its own will, and it will choose those who are favored by fate.

But Rex never believed in evil. He came to this sea to go against the so-called fate. He wanted to go against what fate should be.

In order to find the Dark-Dark Fruit, Lex and Indigo went to great lengths. Fortunately, the result was good. With the support of Vegapunk's research on the bloodline factor theory, as well as Lex's telepathic observation ability of the God's Domain, and his terrifying mobility that could easily cross the Qinghai Sea, they found the user of the Dark-Dark Fruit and successfully "recovered" it.

Oleini did not directly answer Lex's question. The question of what the Dark-Dark Fruit is like did not require an answer. Oleini said something else:

"Grandpa Reid once taught me that fruits are just external objects. Only one's own power is not restricted by any external objects."

Lex smiled:

"Then why did you choose to eat the Dark-Dark Fruit? You could have refused the fruit."

"That's not the case. Why not add icing on the cake? Father even ate two fruits. It's the same reason."

Lex said no more and continued walking towards the Flower City.

Soon, they arrived at the wasteland outside the Flower City. Looking around, there was nothing special.

The only thing worth mentioning is the clouds in the corner of the sky, which are thick and white, like a huge cotton ball, moving slowly along the sea breeze.

Standing on the wilderness and looking into the distance, there are only clouds like this.

Barrett followed Lex silently without saying a word. He was not a talkative person either.

In the Red Earl's eyes, there was only Oleini, Lex and Barrett were like air.

Oleini knew when to advance and when to retreat. Seeing that his father was a little sad, he asked softly:

"Is there anything special here, father?"

Lex shook his head slightly:

"It's not special. When I was fifteen years old and traveling around the world, I came to the Flower Capital of Wano Country. This was originally a village with a swordsmith shop at the entrance of the village."

As he spoke, Lex's gaze unconsciously turned towards the wasteland, and the scene when he was sixteen years old seemed to emerge in his eyes.

He is already 29 years old this year, so that thing is both very far away and not too far away.

"A swordsmith shop? My father also traveled to Qinghai. What a brilliant life he had."

I don't know when Lex's smile started to lose the gentle smile of a young boy. The youthfulness between his eyebrows and eyes has also faded. Although his age is still around 20 years old because of the pure gold, his temperament cannot deceive people.

This is a very obvious sense of vicissitudes.

From the age of twenty to twenty-nine, it was the most important and richest period in Lex's life, both in the past and present lives.

“A brilliant life… Whether life is brilliant or not never depends on any external things, nor on anyone’s definition. Life is yours and you are free.”

“So is father’s life free?”

"Me, Barrett, what do you think?"

"Ah? ~How do I know Mr. Lex's life."

"Ah ha ha ha! ~ That's what freedom is, or maybe you can say overestimating one's own capabilities, always thinking about doing something to break the fate, free but overestimating one's own capabilities."

While they were chatting and laughing, they had already entered a different space and left Wano Country. Also taken away were Kozuki and Amatsuki's only blood relative, Kozuki Hiyori. Perhaps in the future she will have to change her name to Amatsuki Hiyori.

In a different space——

Lex said to Oleini:

"Go back to Fenghuai Qianli to celebrate your mother's twenty-seventh birthday."

Ugetsu Gion's 27th birthday arrived as expected in the first year of Rex's great rise, after completing the second great war, successfully establishing the three seas independently, and conquering half of the world.

Everyone related to Lex and Gion, including almost nine-tenths of the Qinghai senior officials, began to set off for Fenghuai Qianli in the West Sea.

Lex intends to hold the most grand birthday party for his proud and aggrieved wife, the love of his life.
