Chapter 4

But.

"People can only go to the future, not the past."

Edie shook her head: "Everyone's cognition has its limitations, but the scientific pursuit of truth requires us to always remain humble."

He was not interested in discussing the truth with an outsider, and said:

"I can save you."

"That's right, is this the reward for my role as an 'assistant'?"

Tenzuki Toki spoke calmly, feeling relieved.

Edie couldn't help but laugh: "I admire your calmness, madam."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Kozuki Oden is imprisoned in the Flower Capital, and will probably be sentenced to death for treason tomorrow. Not to mention his daughter, Kurozumi Orochi will not let his son go."

Edie paused:

"Madam, you don't want your husband and son to die together..."

"I will obey your orders!"

Tenzuki Toki spoke hurriedly, losing his composure.

She had no choice but to pray to the crazy scientist in front of her.

20 years!

20 years later, someone will liberate Wano Country!

She remembered what Kozuki Oden told her.

"I want to see him before the execution." Tianyue looked at Edie with pleading eyes.

"Yes, ma'am. After all, I'm not a devil. I can't bear to see the tragedy of a husband dying without seeing his wife."

Edie nodded and turned to the balcony.

Chen Long transformed into a blue dragon. He lowered his dragon head and humbly served as a mount.

"Let's go, take your two children with you."

...

The next day.

Flower City.

Kuri Daimyo Kozuki Oden attempted to rebel and was sentenced to be boiled in a cauldron by Shogun Kurozumi Orochi. The execution will be carried out in three days!

The news quickly spread throughout the Flower City, and the people were all shocked.

Early in the morning, the execution platform had begun to be built.

Shogun City.

Kaido, the old drunkard, was drunk in broad daylight.

"Hiccup... Did you go to Kuri last night and capture Kozuki Oden's wife and children?"

"That woman is a capable person and is very helpful in the research of artificial devil fruits."

Edie nodded.

Artificial devil fruit, this excuse is really useful.

Although he didn't study it seriously for a few days from beginning to end, it was all an excuse to cheat for funding.

No, can scientists' work be called cheating?

This is for the pursuit of truth!

It's just that in the process of pursuing the truth, I took a few wrong steps. Kaido will understand.

"In order to ensure that this woman cooperates with my research, I need her child as a hostage."

"Oh, hehe... whatever you want."

Kaido is very tolerant of Edie, or to be more precise, he is very tolerant of his own people.

As the leader of a big force, Kaido is very easy to talk to.

Kurozumi Orochi's face was livid and he gritted his teeth.

"No, everyone in the Kozuki family deserves to die!"

He stood up, stepped on the tea table, pointed at Edie and shouted angrily: "I can provide you with a devil fruit ability user, hand over his wife and children to me! I want to let their whole family die together!!"

"Huh?"

Edie glanced at him, "Do you have any objection?"

A mere puppet general, he can't figure out his identity.

He subconsciously thought seriously, whether he should think of a way to kill Kurozumi Orochi...

For him, this is not difficult.

Kaido frowned and looked unhappy.

Kurozumi Orochi opened his mouth, and finally sat back with a cold snort.

The tense atmosphere dissipated immediately.

Kurozumi Yamato did not dare to disobey Kaido, and his face was gloomy and he did not speak.

"I'm going to meet Kozuki Oden. I have been friends with this fool for a long time."

I no longer paid attention to the incompetent and furious puppet general, and Idi turned and left.

He has been in Wano Country for two years and has lived in the Flower Capital for two years.

In the past two years, I can see Kozuki Oden running over and dancing funny naked dances every day.

The Kozuki family's dignity was destroyed, and the title of foolish prince was pressed on Kozuki Oden's head.

Idi felt that this nickname was not wrong.

People cannot blame others for being stupid.

You know, Kozuki Oden was once the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, and he had a deep friendship with the Roger Pirates.

Whenever he came back, Kaido would not be able to make trouble here if he invited a few people to help.

So...

Weakness is not the reason for destruction, stupidity is!

Not long after, the Flower Capital Prison.

Edie stood in front of the cell, looking at Kozuki Oden sitting there in a daze.

In the battle with Kaido, Kozuki Oden was seriously injured and had layers of bandages on his body.

For some reason, Kaido did not take away Kozuki Oden's two famous swords.

Tianyuhazan, Yanma.

These two swords lay quietly in the corner of the cell.

As if noticing someone coming, Kozuki Oden raised his head and frowned slightly when he saw Edie:

"It's you..."

He knew Edie.

Every day when he danced, he could always see this person passing by.

Seeing this silly prince, Edie showed a gentle smile like sunshine:

"Good morning, Kozuki Oden, my name is Edie, and I'm a scientist.".

Chapter 4 Conflict! Send Kurozumi Orochi to death within 2 days

Kozuki Oden had a blank expression:

"Edie? You are not from Wano Country."

"I have heard about you a little bit. You have contributed to the many steel mills and weapons factories built in this country."

"During yesterday's war, the guns used by the pirates were also made by you, right?".

"That's right."

Edie admitted generously, still smiling: "Don't be so hostile, the weapon itself is innocent. Soldiers use it to defend their country, and pirates use it to invade others. It's unreasonable for you to blame me for developing weapons."

In his previous life, the father of the nuclear bomb, Robert Oppenheimer, sighed "I have become the god of death, the destroyer of the world" after the first atomic bomb was detonated.

Edie will not fall into a moral dilemma.

"What are you doing here?"

Kozuki Oden's tone was calm. In one night, he had accepted his failure.

"You lost, Kozuki Oden. Do you regret it now?"

"If I hadn't believed the lies of Kurozumi Orochi five years ago..."

"If I had accepted the help of Roger and others when I returned to my country..."

Lies are not sharp blades, the truth is the sharp knife.

Hearing Edie's words, Kozuki Oden's forehead was bulging with veins, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Edie did not continue to provoke the other party, but said:

"Yesterday, your wife asked me to see you before she died."

"Shi?!" Oden's face changed, "What did you do to Shi?"

"As a prisoner on death row for treason, you are not allowed to be visited by anyone, let alone your wife."

Edie took out a blood collection needle from the pocket of his white coat, "But I can let you see Tianyue Shi. As a condition..."

With a smack.

Kozuki Oden stood up suddenly, grabbed the iron bars of the prison with both hands, and said excitedly: "No matter what the conditions are, I agree to you!"

"The conditions are very simple, I need your blood."

Blood?

Kozuki Oden didn't know what his blood was for, and what the other party would do with it, but at this point, he didn't care.

"Okay."

Soon, Edie drew a tube of blood from Kozuki Oden's arm.

"Where is Shi?"

"Don't be impatient, I'll give you ten minutes to meet."

Leaving a sentence, Edie turned around and left with the harvest.

After a while, Tianyue Shi came to the cell in a gray cloak.

The couple saw him.

Edie was not interested in what was said.

Ten minutes later, the jailer brought Tianyue Shi out.

When he came out, Tianyue Shi took the two swords, Tianyu Yuzan and Yanma.

"Dr. Edie, you took the prisoner's sword. I will report this to Lord Orochi truthfully." The jailer said seriously.

He didn't dare to stop Tianyue Shi from taking the samurai sword, but he didn't dare not report it.

He couldn't afford to offend both sides.

Tianyue Shi grabbed the two samurai swords and looked at Edie with pleading eyes.

And at this moment, a cold snort came.

"Who allowed you to take it away?"
