Arceus's Pirate Journey

King saw no reason to reject this suggestion, letting Kozuki Hiyori handle it herself, while he returned to Ghost Island with the situation here.

They had the capability to preemptively quash those rebels, but Arceus had decided on an exercise. Currently, the exercise seemed to have achieved satisfactory results and even triggered some hidden conditions.

...

At this moment, Kozuki Hiyori was making a public statement about the turmoil last night. While comforting the injured, she also strongly condemned the actions of those people, equating them with Kurozumi Orochi, and pinned them to the pillar of shame in Wano Kuni.

”Killing the heart, women can indeed be ruthless when they decide to be.”

Simple death couldn’t completely scare those who threw away reason due to Sunacchi, but Hiyori’s actions killed their hope, forcing them to live in infamy and condemnation.

For these people, living like this was even more painful than death, and they succeeded in attracting the public’s hatred. Those who experienced last night’s turmoil couldn’t stop cursing them.

Even King couldn’t help but marvel at her ruthlessness.

”Those words are indeed true, when women get ruthless, they’re all crazy.”

Remembering his own experiences, Queen agreed with King, considering the harm Shaina and Setsuna had caused him, which was sometimes comparable to Kaidou.

”But there are exceptions. At least Miss Yamato doesn’t have that tendency.”

”You’d better pray you never see that day. She is, after all, Kaidou’s daughter. If she gets ruthless, hmph.”

Pattering Queen on the shoulder, King left directly, returning to the palace of the Flower Capital.

”Wait a minute! Even if she gets ruthless, why would she take it out on me?”

Belatedly realizing, Queen roared at the sky, then returned to his lab, as his flowers had begun to sprout, marking a very promising start.

...

The direct impact of the assassination attempt was essentially over, but the indirect effects continued. The rest of those involved were confined in Udon Mine, including those who witnessed Enma and Ame no Habakiri’s massacre scene.

Due to some psychological stimulation, their descriptions of the event varied slightly, but ultimately they were quite similar, inevitably mentioning Oden’s spirit.

Over time, some people truly wavered in their hearts. If even Oden sanctioned these matters, it meant this was the best outcome. Coupled with the increasingly improving domestic environment, this assassination attempt accelerated the collapse of resistance among some stubborn individuals.
