Ascension Or Journey From World To World

New world. Wano Country.

Flower Capital.

The Flower Capital is currently the only location in Wano to be prosperous, due to the shogun Orochi's corrupt administration. Despite this, various crimes run rampant throughout the capital, such as crossroad killings committed by a magistrate and Kamazo, theft by Ushimitsu Kozo, and racketeering from the Kyoshiro Family.

By law, the citizens of Flower Capital must have money. Anyone who runs out for any reason will be exiled

The capital is divided into areas known as districts, each covering several streets.

Under the Shogun's rule, the capital prospered while the rest of Wano suffered a great decline in resources.

A very large plant grows in the center of the Flower Capital, on its top is the Shogun Castle, in which the shogun Kurozumi Orochi resides.

Orochi Castle rises above the entire Flower Capital and can be seen from any district and street.

Orochi Castle.

A huge number of people gathered in one of the banquet rooms of Orochi Castle.

All these people had fun, ate delicious dishes, drank the most expensive drinks and enjoyed the dancing and musical performances of the most beautiful Geishas in the entire Flower Capital.

At the end of the room stood a huge throne, on which, surrounded by a dozen beautiful women, a strange-looking and ugly man sat.

This man was a coward, a bastard, a skilled manipulator, and a slippery serpent, as well as the Shogun of Wano Country... Kurozumi Orochi.

Orochi is a rather large man with a big head and stocky build. He appears to be balding, with his dark purple hair being mostly seen on the sides and back of his head, and he has a long topknot in the back, as well as a thin mustache that sticks upward. His two upper canine teeth are longer than his other teeth and are blunt. 

He wears a gold kimono with a fan-shaped pattern on it, a blue robe with flowers on it, as well as a crown on his head.

Having been twisted by the Kurozumi Family's unfair persecution since his childhood, Orochi is an extremely cruel and oppressive tyrant who takes joy in making his subjects suffer as revenge for his family's persecution. Under his rule, the people of Wano have suffered great famines. The officials under him also harshly enforce his regime.

Orochi is extremely domineering and unreasonable with absolutely no tolerance of anyone defying him or speaking ill of him, even if it is out of his earshot and in casual discussion. He has made those actions a capital crime, which the Gifters enforce. He is petty enough to mercilessly attack and kill anyone who offends him, whether they are a man, woman, or child.

Orochi is also immensely extravagant and hedonistic, as he loves to hold banquets with luxurious food and drinks accompanied by refined music and dancing. He is picky with his choice of food and extremely wasteful, as he had uneaten food that was not to his liking thrown away. Moreover, he employs only the finest Geishas of Wano, such as the late Komurasaki, to perform at his banquets.

Orochi was sitting on his throne and hugging a beautiful Geisha with his right hand. In his left hand was a large sake bowl into which another Geisha was pouring sake.

He was smiling happily and enjoyed the banquet surrounded by the most beautiful Geishas of Wano.

"Gufufufufu. Have fun! Eat and drink to your fill! Enjoy the generosity of your Shogun. This is Wano Country! Don't confuse it for Heaven! Gufufufufu," Orochi laughed out loud.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaa. Orochi-sama is so generous!" hugging Orochi, one of the Geishas shouted.

"Kyyaaa, Orochi-sama, it's a great banquet!" another Geisha shouted.

Near the entrance to the banquet room.

"*Cough* coward *cough* trash *cough* *cough* *cough*", a man with light blue coughed.

"Boss Kyoshiro, are you okay?" looking at him, asked a man looking like a yakuza.

"Hahaha. It's all right. I probably drank too much sake," Kyoshiro answered with a smile.

[Damn bastard Orochi. I'll kill you. I will definitely kill you.] continuing to smile, Kyoshiro thought.

"It's a pity that my Beloved Komurasaki died. I can't accept her death! She was an ideal woman and I wanted her to become my wife," Orochi said with a sad expression on his face.

"Tch. A dirty man. Trash," came a woman's voice filled with contempt.

The whole banquet room fell silent. All geishas and yakuzas had pale faces. They began to look around and look for a suicide who dared to insult Shogun Orochi.

They saw at the entrance to the banquet room a group of four people, one man, and three women.

The man had long white hair and red eyes, his face did not express any emotions, he indifferently examined the banquet hall and the people present in it. The man was dressed in a white traditional kimono, which depicted black dragons.

Beside him stood three incredibly beautiful women.

One of them had very long, flowing pink hair with a taiyaki-shaped hairgrip. She had beautiful blue eyes. The woman was dressed in a white kimono, which depicted fish, waves, and shells.

Next to her stood a very tall and slender woman with long black hair that extends past her waist with locks of hair that frame her face down to her chin and shows off her high forehead, black eyes with long, voluminous eyelashes and pale skin. She has a narrow waist and very large b.r.e.a.s.ts. The woman was dressed in a purple kimono, which depicted snakes, hearts, and emblems of the Kuja tribe.

Ahead of the man and his two companions stood a slim woman of average height. Before, she was very famous throughout the Wano Country, and therefore she was immediately recognized by all the Yakuzas, geishas and Orochi.

She had long teal hair that reaches her waist and blue eyes that are distinctively slanted at an upward angle. She wears light pink lipstick on her prominent lips. She was dressed in a pink furisode kimono with purple flower designs along the sleeves and the bottom.

In her left hand was a sheathed katana. This was the same katana that had once been able to inflict a wound on Kaido himself, and which would soon finish what had been started and cut off his head.

"Big-headed insignificance. A toad wishing to eat swan meat. Ray-nii, can I disintegrate this trash?" looking at the white-haired man, the woman with pink hair asked.

"Ohhh. Shirahoshi-chan, can you use this ability already?" the woman with black hair asked.

"Mmm. This is a very complex ability and I still can't control it. But I want to become a strong Goddess, so, I can handle it," the woman with pink hair replied

"Hehehe. I'm sure you will succeed," the woman with black hair stroked Shirahoshi's head.

"Hiyori, you can cut off all limbs to this trash. But don't kill him, I'll work on his soul and try to use it to create Vergil's Yamato. I know that he is not real Yamato no Orochi, and his soul is too weak, but... Maybe it's enough even to create an ordinary Yamato-Knife? I need to understand the principle of operation of this sword," looking at the woman with teal hair, the man said.

"Mmm. Okay," the woman answered with a smile.

"Kkkomurasaki is it really you? Have you returned from the World of the Dead in order to become my wife? I'm so glad. Gufufufufu," Orochi said with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Seeing the alive and beautiful Komurasaki, he forgot about all the insults and these unknown people.

<Rapid Slash>

As soon as Orochi finished speaking, Hiyori disappeared from her place and appeared behind Orochi's throne.

The Yakuzas and Orochi's guards did not know what exactly happened, they were not able to see her fast movement. In their eyes, Komurasaki suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Orochi's throne.

*Thump*

People in the banquet room heard a strange sound and looked at their Shogun. As soon as they moved their eyes on him, their eyes widened in shock and horror.

Orochi's right hand fell to the floor with a thud and immediately split into hundreds of small pieces.

"AAAAAAARRRRRGGHHHH. My hand! My hand! Kill her! No, grab her alive!!! I will make her suffer!!! Aaaargh," with a pale face and horrified eyes, Orochi screamed.

But nothing happened. Nobody even moved out of their place... They simply could not move, because Ray put pressure on everyone in the banquet room with his Conqueror's Haki.

<Rapid Slash>

<Rapid Slash>

<Rapid Slash>

Hiyori used her ability three times in a row, she disappeared and appeared in different places of the banquet room. Each time, Orochi lost one limb. Hiyori did not cut off his entire limb at once, she cut off it in pieces, starting from the finger and ending with the upper joint.

"AAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH. Plllllleeeeeeaaaaasssseee. Mmmmeeeerrrrcccyyy", lying in a pool of blood, prayed armless and legless Orochi.

Hiyori looked at him coldly and...

<Rapid Slash>

...used her ability again. This time she cut off his little snake.

<Rapid Slash>

Ears.

<Rapid Slash>

Nose.

<Rapid Slash>

Lips.

<Rapid Slash>

Eyes.

5 minutes later.

Hiyori cut Orochi again and again. Eventually, he turned into a piece of pulsating red mass. By some miracle, this piece of red mass remained "alive".

_____

Ray had long ago knocked out and moved to the guest rooms all geishas and maids, they were innocent young girls and should not have seen such a terrible "death."

He also released Kyoshiro and talked to him about what had happened over the past few years.

Kyoshiro was happy that his Mistress was alive and that he no longer needed to hide his true identity.

Ray asked him to clean up the Flower Capital from various trash, Kyoshiro certainly agreed and went to fulfill this request.

 _____

When Hiyori finished torturing Orochi, she simply stood in one place and looked at what Orochi had turned into. She had a blank expression, she did not experience any emotions. Hiyori did not live for revenge, so the killing of Orochi and Kaido was not her life purpose and she did not enjoy the death of one of them. She did not at all enjoy the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of anyone's death. Even Yukino and Bella did not enjoy it, although their Divinity was associated with Death and Murders.

She avenged her Family, that's all. No more no less.

Ray went to Hiyori and pulled her into his arms. He began gently and soothingly stroking her head. Hiyori closed her eyes and buried her face in his c.h.e.s.t.

"You did the right thing. Never doubt your actions. You are no longer a human and you do not need to follow human morality and their rules. Know that I and your sisters will always and in everything support you," kissing her on the head, Ray whispered.

"Hiyori-nee, your <Rapid Slash> has already reached such a high level! When Ray-nii can create Yamato for you, I'm sure that you will become much stronger!!!" hugging Hiyori, Shirahoshi said joyfully.

"Mmm. Sister, you've done well," joining the group hug, Hanc.o.c.k said.

Ray smiled and walked away from his wives, he went to Orochi and stretched out his hand in his direction.

<Predator>

Black thick energy escaped from his hand, which immediately flew into Orochi lying on the floor and covered his whole body.

After a few seconds, a small white ball and Orochi's devil fruit appeared in Ray's hand.

He snapped his fingers and Orochi's body disappeared from the banquet room. Ray teleported Orochi and all his blood to Onigashima, right into Kaido's throne room.

"Hehehe. I hope I hit the target and Orochi's pieces fell into his sake barrels," smiling, Ray whispered.

He went to his wives and said,

"Let's change the room and wait for Denjiro in it. I asked him to clean the Flower Capital from trash, it should not take too much time. After all, he had been preparing for this for many years."

The girls nodded and they all left the room.

_____

A few hours later. Another banquet room.

Several hours have passed since the death of Orochi, all the servants and inhabitants of the Castle already knew about this event and very easily accepted the death of their Shogun. Deep in their hearts, they all hated this coward and bastard, but they could not openly show their dislike and hatred...

The maids set the table for Ray and his wives. They did not skimp and prepared for them a lot of various dishes and expensive alcohol.

Learning about Hiyori's identity and that she was one of Ray's wives, they thought that he would become their new Shogun. And unlike the ugly Orochi, the new Shogun looks much more handsome and more manly.

*Opens the door*

Opening the door, a man with light blue hair entered the banquet room.

Seeing Hiyori, he knelt down and began to cry with male tears.

Ray, Hanc.o.c.k, and Shirahoshi continued to eat and observe everything from the side.

"Hiyori-sama, you are alive. You really are alive and returned to Wano. I knew you did not die and survived that fire," kneeling and continuing to cry, Denjiro said.

"Denjiro, I apologize for making you worry. I had to leave Wano and I do not regret my decision. I found my happiness and became much stronger, now I can kill Kaido with my own hands," Hiyori said with a determined expression on her face.  

"Hiyori-sama, are you sure? Over the years, Kaido has become much stronger and he has very strong subordinates, Three Disasters, Jack, Queen, and King," looking at Hiyori, Denjiro said.

"Mmm. I'm sure. Denjiro, I want you and your people to release prisoners who were falsely accused of crimes they didn't commit. We need to cleanse the country of all trash and restore Wano to its former glory, the release of these people will be our first step on this way," Hiyori answered.

"As you wish, Hiyori-sama. I shall attend to this immediately," Denjiro answered with a bow.

Hiyori nodded and Denjiro left the room to immediately begin to carry out the order of his Mistress.

*Sigh*

"I think that Denjiro will be able to rule Wano until Momonosuke returns and becomes the new Shogun. He has always been the smartest and most cunning of the <Nine Red Scabbards>, he will become a good adviser to Momonosuke," Hiyori said with a sigh.

"Are you sure that he can resist such power and will not become a traitor? Power, wealth, fame, all this can corrupt him and he will not be able to abandon such a life and make Momonosuke the new Shogun," looking at Hiyori, Hanc.o.c.k asked with a serious expression on her face.

"I am absolutely sure of his devotion... But... If he becomes a traitor and refuses to serve Momonosuke, then this will be his problem. I will not help him. There is no shortcut to success. If Momonosuke wants to become Shogun, then he must achieve this on his own, "Hiyori resolutely answered.

"We will make any decision of yours," taking a sip of wine, Ray said.

"Mmm. Hiyori, it's a wise choice," Shirahoshi nodded.

"He's coming," getting up from his seat, Ray suddenly said.

Hearing his words, Hiyori, Hanc.o.c.k, and Shirahoshi also getting up from their seats.

Ray looked at his wives and they nodded to him.

*Snap*

He snapped his fingers and they disappeared in a flash of flame.

_____

Wano Country. Udon.

Udon is a region located at the southeast of Wano Country currently under the rule of the All-Star Queen of the Beasts Pirates.

_____

On the seashore separating Udon and Onigashima, a flash of flame appeared. The flame quickly disappeared and four people appeared in its place.

"Udon... It's the perfect place to fight against Kaido," Hiyori said.

"The Wasteland," looking around, Shirahoshi said.

"Weapons factories are draining the nature and life of this country," Hanc.o.c.k added.

While Hanc.o.c.k and Shirahoshi looked at the wasteland, Ray and Hiyori looked at the sky filled with black clouds.

*RRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRR*

"Hehehe. Finally. It's time to kill this worm," Hiyori said with a bloodthirsty smile.
