Lucifer had already arrived in Wano Country while the Redhead was negotiating with Whitebeard.
He arrived in Wano ahead of his fleet, accompanied by Inuarashi and Nekomamushi. The rest of the pirate fleet was still en route and would arrive later.
"Is this Wano Country? There are so many poor people," Lucifer muttered, standing on a hill overlooking a village below.
The village was desolate, and the people exuded an overwhelming atmosphere of despair and sadness.
The surrounding mountains and rivers were barren, and the river water was polluted, emitting a foul stench.
"Wano wasn't always like this," Inuarashi said bitterly.
"When Oden-sama was still alive, Wano was beautiful," Nekomamushi added.
"Back then, the people of this land had enough to eat, and they lived happy lives. But since Kurozumi Orochi brought Kaido here, everything has changed!"
"Orochi and Kaido are bastards! We won't let them go!"
Both Inuarashi and Nekomamushi clenched their fists tightly, tears welling up in their eyes. Their hatred for Kaido was boundless.
Lucifer glanced at them and said coldly, "If you want revenge, then fight with all your strength. Your chance will co soon."
He turned and gestured. "Let's go. We'll take a trip to the Flower Capital and collect so interest first."
With that, Lucifer took to the air, carrying Inuarashi and Nekomamushi with him as they flew toward the Flower Capital.
The entire Wano Country, except for Onigashima and the Flower Capital, had been polluted by factories.
The land was poisoned, reduced to a barren wasteland, and the people lived in extre poverty.
But the Flower Capital was different.
This was Kurozumi Orochi's seat of power, and as such, it remained prosperous and vibrant.
Whoosh!
Lucifer, with Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, descended from the sky, landing on the roof of the General's Mansion.
"Found him," Lucifer said, activating his Observation Haki.
He quickly pinpointed Kurozumi Orochi's location.
"This guy is really enjoying himself," Lucifer remarked with disdain.
In his perception, there were nurous auras around Orochi—mostly won. It was obvious that Orochi was indulging himself as usual.
Kurozumi Orochi was nothing but scum—cruel, arrogant, and debauched, yet utterly cowardly.
In the original story, even though Kozuki Oden had been dead for over twenty years, Orochi would still tremble in fear at the re ntion of his na.
The sight of the Akazaya Nine was enough to send him into a panic.
Even though he was a Zoan Mythical Beast user, his combat ability was laughably weak. When faced with danger, he would either beg for help or resort to treachery.
Lucifer smirked lightly. "Let's go et your old friend."
With that, he leapt off the roof, followed by Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.
"Who are you?!"
"It's an intruder!"
"Sound the alarm! Protect the General!"
The guards in the General's Mansion spotted Lucifer and his companions and imdiately surrounded them, launching an attack without hesitation.
But to Lucifer, these n were nothing but fodder—utterly insignificant.
Inuarashi and Nekomamushi didn't even need to use their abilities.
Screams filled the air, and monts later, all the guards were dead.
Inside the palace, Kurozumi Orochi sat in luxury, embracing four dancers at once and laughing lecherously.
His laughter echoed obscenely as he held the won close.
Apart from the four dancers in his arms, there were over twenty others in the hall, all summoned to entertain him.
Additionally, Orochi's ninja guards and the gang boss Kyoshiro were present, closely protecting him.
The lively atmosphere, filled with loud music and laughter, left Orochi completely unaware of the carnage outside.
Boom!
The palace gates were shattered as two guards were thrown through the air like ragdolls.
The sudden commotion startled Kurozumi Orochi, and the dancers scread in terror.
"Who is it?! What's happening?!" Orochi shrieked, his voice trembling with fear.
He hadn't even seen the enemy, yet cold sweat poured down his face.
Lucifer stepped forward through the dust and smoke, with Inuarashi and Nekomamushi flanking him.
Their presence struck terror into Orochi's heart.
"Who are you?! What do you want?!" Orochi stamred.
"Protect ! Protect !" he scread desperately.
The ninja troops quickly ford a defensive line in front of Orochi, shielding him with determined expressions.
But Kyoshiro, who was Orochi's loyal lackey, now wore an expression of disbelief.
Among the dancers, the most beautiful oiran had tears in her eyes.
She recognized Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, but the two of them did not recognize her.
"It's quite lively here. I hope you don't mind joining in," Lucifer said with a slight smile.
His calm deanor made the hearts of the ninja troops race.
"Lord Lucifer," Inuarashi and Nekomamushi muttered.
The mont they saw Kurozumi Orochi, their killing intent surged uncontrollably.
"Ah, I'll leave it to you two," Lucifer said nonchalantly. "Kill as much as you like."
As soon as the words fell, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi charged forward.
Their speed was incredible, leaving behind only afterimages.
"Die!!!"
With a roar, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi activated their Devil Fruit abilities.
In the blink of an eye, a massive mammoth and a giant saber-toothed tiger appeared in the hall. A terrifying aura of beasts erupted, filling the room.
Roar!
Nekomamushi, now in his saber-toothed tiger form, lunged forward and crushed a ninja in his powerful jaws.
A female ninja fired a bullet at him, but it rely ricocheted off his thick fur.
With a flick of his tail, Nekomamushi split the female ninja in half.
anwhile, Inuarashi, transford into a mammoth, was equally ruthless. His massive tusks pierced through the chests of two ninjas.
As he trampled forward, two more ninjas were sent flying, their bones and organs shattered before they hit the ground.
In less than a minute, the ninja troops tasked with protecting Kurozumi Orochi had been wiped out.
"Damn it! Who the hell are you?" Orochi scread in terror. "Soone, save ! Kyoshiro! Where are you, Kyoshiro?"
Orochi's panicked cries fell on deaf ears. Kyoshiro rely sneered from a distance, his true intentions unclear.
"Useless coward... I have to rely on myself!" Orochi roared.
He activated his Devil Fruit ability, transforming into the Yamata no Orochi.
His massive form towered over the mammoth and saber-toothed tiger. Eight fearso snake heads lood above, ready to strike.
Boom! Boom!
Two deafening crashes echoed through the hall as two of Orochi's snake heads were imdiately caught by Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.
"Die, Orochi!" Inuarashi growled.
"You despicable villain, your ti has co!" Nekomamushi roared.
Clang!
Two flashes of cold steel sliced through the air.
"Ahhh!!!" Orochi scread in agony as blood sprayed across the hall. Two of his snake heads fell to the ground with a sickening thud.
"Orochi, today is the day you die!"
Inuarashi and Nekomamushi resud their ferocious assault, now in their hybrid forms.
Inuarashi's sword slashed horizontally, severing another snake head.
Nekomamushi's sharp claws tore through yet another, ripping it clean off.
In the blink of an eye, the Yamata no Orochi had lost four of its eight heads.
Kurozumi Orochi was pathetic. Even with the power of a mythical Zoan fruit, he was no match for his opponents.
He hadn't even unlocked a fraction of the fruit's true potential.
It was no exaggeration to call Kurozumi Orochi the weakest mythical Zoan user in the world of One Piece.
While the battle raged, Lucifer casually walked over to a nearby table.
"Hey, you there—the oiran. Pour a glass of wine, will you?" Lucifer said, addressing a beautiful woman.
Lucifer knew her na was Komurasaki—her true identity was Kozuki Hiyori, the daughter of Kozuki Oden.
Hiyori exchanged a glance with Kyoshiro, and they seed to understand each other instantly.
She walked over to Lucifer and poured him a glass of wine.
Although she didn't trust Lucifer, she trusted Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.
Since they followed Lucifer's orders, both Kyoshiro and Hiyori believed Lucifer wouldn't harm them.
Lucifer took a sip of the wine and smirked. "What a waste... Orochi truly lived a luxurious life."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of battle intensified as Inuarashi and Nekomamushi's attacks beca even fiercer.
Both of them were stronger than Orochi, and with their combined strength, Orochi was completely overwheld.
Within minutes, six of Orochi's snake heads had been severed.
Countless deep wounds crisscrossed the body of the Yamata no Orochi.
Although Orochi managed to regenerate two snake heads, the speed of regeneration couldn't keep up with the relentless assault of Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.
