The trio devoured a ton of red bean soup and now they have big bellies

Luffy: Hey! Cmon balloon! What is taking so long!?

Queen opens his tent and is crying

Queen: Shut up! There's been a change of plans now, Huh?

He sees the three looking fat

Luffy: not if I say so, let's get going already, we don't have all day

Queen: Ah! What the hell happened to you three between last night and today

Luffy: This is what I'm always like, what are you talking about?

Ryo: Come on let's start this thing

Queen: I ain't got time to deal with your nonsense today, I have something to tend too, hey you show me the flower capital right now

They see a video transponder snail and it creates a screen of the flower capital

They see a video of a man with blue hair being strung up ready for execution

Hyogoro gasps

Luffy: is that guy someone you know?

Hyogoro: Of course, he's quite famous, back in my day, he was a daimyo under the Kozuki clan, that's too say he was a close associate of lord oden

Ryo: Shimotsuki Yasue, I remember now

Hyogoro: How do you know what?

Ryo: I can't tell that? It would put the person I care about in danger

Hyogoro: I understand, The daimyo of Hakuma his name was Yasue the hedgehog

They see the man with the biggest smile on his face laughing his head off

Yasue: First I want to apologise for two things! Then I'd like to say something to that moron orochi! Hahahaha! Once I get that of my chest I can head to the great beyond with a smile on my face

Bang!

turns out it was a warning shot

The Daikoku reads the charges

He was caught committing a theft in the flower capital

He once rebelled against Orochi

He is sentenced to a dishonourable death

Now according to his statement he is also the serial thief ushimitsu kozo a well known public menace in the capital

But apparently it was a lie, He wanted to grab their attention one last time

Then all of ebisu town appears charging into the flower capital taking out anyone who stands in there way, while laughing like hell along with Yasue

Yasue: Hahaha! I can't help but feel sorry for the shogun's poor flunkies, must not be easy working for a damn idiot, Attention! If you would please, gaze upon the beauty of the flower capital, our land of wano shines brightly!, this nation is our pride and joy, for it was worn by generations of hard work by the Kozuki clan and the people who supported them, this is not your doing in the least your greedy old snake! You hear me! Kurozumi Orochi! You haven't built and inch of this land! All you've done is pollute it! Our fields and forests! Our rivers! Our villages! All of their splender has been tainted by your greed! Hahahaha! You're nothing but vermin! Hahahaha!

Hyogoro is crying his eyes out

Ryo: (You're awesome Yasue)

The guns are aimed at him

Yasue keeps on laughing

Yasue: There's something else I should add, Another apology while I still have the chance, it's about the flier with the symbol that's been going around lately, the Kozuki name died out years ago, I couldn't form an army to avenge them if I tried, but I don't want people to forget them, That's why I made that flier! The symbol doesn't mean anything at all! It's just a prank! At Orochi's expense! Hahahahahaha

He just keeps on laughing

Yasue: When Lord oden died 20 years back, Orochi asked the four remaining daimyo including myself, a question, would we serve under the kurozumi clan, Or fight them!, What a laugh! Huh? You weed everything you had to oden but you stole the shogun seat out from under him with deceit and treachery, what fool would serve you?, the daimyo and people from every region raised up their swords without hesitation, but we where not match for that monster kaido who crushed all opposition and the land of wano paid the price, alas I lost my chance to die with honour in that fight, so took on a disguise and hid, but I would be ashamed if I died of old age living this lie, so channeling my inner child, I came up with this flyer trick and a final act of rebellion! If you would forgive this old fool, but turned out Orochi was a bigger coward than I every imagined, he got so spooked from the whole thing that he jailed innocent people just because they found a stylish little trend!

Then Orochi appears looked pissed

Yasue: there you are, haven't seen you in ages, Orochi!

Orochi: if you haven't anymore last words, say them fast!

Yasue: alright let me see, Would you like me to recite the poem that binds your heart

A man of such small caliber, shall never know the taste of oden for as long as he shall live

Yasue will just not stop laughing

Luffy: He was oden's friend

Hyogoro: he was, he was a loyal ally too

Ryo: damn you Orochi

The gun is aimed at him

Yasue: For 20 long years we bowed our heads in shame! For what could we do before the might of kaido, but this time things will be different, cover your children's eyes, for now! The final daimyo to serve Kozuki or rather the happy go lucky fool from ebisu town! Makes his final journey!  I think I'll go out singing! Here we go!

Bang!

Yasue is filled full of lead and then falls to the ground

The last daimyo, Shimotsuki Yasue is dead

And that's a wrap

I wasn't originally going to devote a whole chapter to this but I realised this guy deserved it
