Chapter 8
"Of course it can't be done by ordinary means, but as long as you are still human, you will definitely have weaknesses.".
Shen Hou grinned and showed his bloody black teeth.
"Where is Kaido now?"
"He returned to Onigashima yesterday..."
Kurozumi Orochi hurriedly drank a glass of wine to calm his nerves.
In addition to the six major regions of the mainland, Wano Country also has an island in the south.
It is called Onigashima, and it is the home of the Beast Pirates.
"Going back? You can use this to kill Kaido!"
With two strange laughs, Shen Hou took out a small glass bottle from his sleeve, which contained a light green liquid.
"Is this... poison?" Kurozumi Orochi was stunned.
"Its scientific name is 'NHC10'. You who have lived in Wano Country since childhood must have never heard of it."
"That's the Four Emperors Kaido! Will poisoning him work?" Kurozumi Orochi's face turned ugly.
"This is not an ordinary poison."
How could Shen Hou know anything about NHC10? It was all the knowledge that God told him.
At this time, she repeated:
"Only doctors from specific countries are qualified to use it in the open sea."
"It is a contraband under the jurisdiction of the World Government!"
"It is an expensive drug used to treat certain diseases... but if it is taken in excess of a certain amount, it will show strong addiction. When the amount of drug residue in the body reaches a certain limit, it is... poisonous!"
Shen Hou opened the lid of the glass bottle and poured a drop into his cup.
Then, he drank it in one gulp.
"You... what are you doing?" Kurozumi Orochi was stunned.
"Don't worry, this amount of drug is harmless. It will not change the color of the wine or affect the taste when mixed into the wine."
Kurozumi Orochi was stunned, what a crazy old woman!
I just heard the other party continue to say:
"Kaido is a drunkard. If you poison him in the wine like this, day by day, he will be poisoned slowly, until one day... he will be killed by the poison!"
"Just like what you did to Kozuki Sukiyaki before?"
Recalling the days when he served Kozuki Sukiyaki and slowly poisoned him, Kurozumi Orochi couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
He was familiar with this matter.
But there is a question...
"Why are you so eager to kill Kaido?"
"If we don't kill him, he will kill us sooner or later!!"
Shin Monkey showed anger, his bloodshot eyes widened: "Don't be so naive, Orochi! You are just a puppet now, do you understand? You want to be Kaido's puppet for the rest of your life!"
The cooperation between the Kurozumi family and Kaido is not equal.
Without equal power, the status is naturally unequal.
The reason why Kaido kept Kurozumi Orochi was just to have someone help him manage the country, and the Beasts Pirates took this opportunity to grow and develop.
In the foreseeable future, once Kaido feels that the Kurozumi family is no longer useful, he will immediately take back the general's throne.
"You make sense..."
Kurozumi Orochi thought calmly for a moment and had to admit that Kurozumi Murasaki was right.
He was able to sit in this position because of Kurozumi Murasaki's advice all the time.
"Is this poison reliable?"
"First use a small dose to make Kaido initially addicted, and then suddenly increase it to a lethal dose after forming a dependence. The plan can be completed in three to five months at the fastest!"
Hearing this, Kurozumi Orochi was completely moved.
No one likes to be a puppet!
However, he is not a brainless reckless man. He can make medicine himself. The poison for Kozuki Sukiyaki was prepared by him personally.
Although he has never seen a banned drug like NHC10, he will soon know the efficacy of the drug by doing an experiment later.
So, the two began to conspire in a low voice.
"Tomorrow's execution is a great start..."
They have been discussing for several hours.
Shen Hou stood up and said, "Next, I will hide. If Kaido finds me, remember to collect my body. I don't want to be exposed in the wilderness..."
"Guhehe, I know."
Kurozumi Orochi laughed happily.
...
Inside the research institute.
Edie was doing a preliminary analysis of Tianyueshi's blood.
It is true that he wants to develop a "time machine", not a lie.
It is not that he has to do anything with it, but just to satisfy his curiosity.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Father."
"Come in."
Chen Long pushed the door open and entered, "The information sent by Shen Hou, he has completed the task you assigned."
"Got it, act according to the plan."
Edie nodded.
The plan itself is not complicated, and it can even be said that there are many loopholes.
However, the simpler the plan, the easier it is to succeed.
As long as the action is fast enough, when everything is settled, nothing can be said.
Kurozumi Orochi charged Kozuki Oden with "treason" and executed him.
Of course, he could also charge Kurozumi Orochi with "treason".
Two traitors who committed treason died on the same day, which is also a good story.
...
Time flies, and it's the next day in a blink of an eye.
10:55 in the morning.
The crowd gathered around the execution platform.
A large cauldron with a diameter of five meters was placed on the bonfire, and the hot oil was sizzling in the pot.
Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido sat on the execution platform.
"It's time for the execution, guhehehe... bring the prisoners!"
Kurozumi Orochi drank the wine and laughed.
At an order, ten prisoners were brought up.
The main criminal, Kozuki Oden.
Nine accomplices:
Kinemon, Denjiro, Ashura Doji, Neko Viper, Inuarashi, Raizo, Kikunoomi, Kawamatsu...
And, the spy Kanjuro Susame.
These nine people are the so-called "Nine Red Scabbards".
Seeing the ten rebels on stage, the people of Huadu started talking a lot.
"In the end, I still couldn't defeat Kaido and ended up like this..."
"I thought His Highness the Fool was at least real in strength."
"What are these guys doing, rebelling? They were suppressed on the same day."
The constant voices of the crowd failed to sway Kozuki Oden in the slightest.
He stood on the step in front of the oil pot and stared at the hot oil in the cauldron.
"Get into the cauldron quickly, Kozuki Oden!" The black charcoal snake snorted, and laughed sarcastically: "Do you want me to help you? Guhehehe..."
The jailer holding a halberd immediately shouted: "Get in quickly!"
Kozuki Oden turned a deaf ear, turned to Orochi and Kaido, and said in a deep voice:
"I want a chance, I have to live!"
"Begging for mercy? What nonsense are you talking about now?"
The black charcoal snake looked disdainful.
Kaido narrowed his eyes, took a bold sip, and said:
"Are you the kind of man who is greedy for life and afraid of death? I misjudged you, Kozuki Oden."
"Kaido."
Kozuki Oden was calm and calm, as if he was not a prisoner being executed: "We will go down together, ten of us. You set a time. If anyone survives, please let him go!"
"Lord Oden!" The Nine Red Scabbard Heroes were suddenly shocked.
Facing the battle of strength initiated by Kozuki Oden, Kaido's lips sank.
The black charcoal snake laughed angrily and said sarcastically:
"Are you anxious? Oden, you are about to say such stupid things when you are about to die. This is the punishment of cooking in a cauldron that can kill people in an instant. What temperature do you think the oil inside is?"
It had been heated since early yesterday morning, and the oil in the cauldron was not ordinary cooking oil.
By the time of execution, the oil temperature was as high as over 500 degrees!
What is the concept of 500 degrees?
The black charcoal snake only knows that if a person goes down, he will die after a few screams.
If Edie were to explain, he would say:
The instantaneous heat transfer can ignite humans and rapidly destroy human proteins.
"Oooh, oh, oh, oh...interesting!"
Kaido grinned and laughed: "I'll give you an hour. This is the time you'll get dizzy even if you take a bath. Someone, go get the clock!"
"No, I'll bring it."
Suddenly, a figure in a white coat walked onto the execution platform.
Edie was holding a clock in her hand.
"Edie..." Kaido smiled: "You came just in time."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Kaido."
Edie smiled slightly and placed the clock in the center of the execution platform.
"It is now 11 o'clock at noon. According to the agreement, if you can survive until 12 o'clock, you will be free... Kozuki Oden."
"Don't regret it, Kaido!" Oden said solemnly.
"certainly."
Kaido drank and agreed casually.
