Sexy Isekai: One Piece Most Wanted-Chapter 42: Seeds Orochi Planted

Fuming from the rejection and humiliation he faced at King's hands, Orochi retreated to the safety of his palace, a swirl of resentment and schemes building in his mind. Each step back to his quarters was a reminder of how his desires had been thwarted, not just by Komurasaki's indifference, but by King's ruthless intervention. The affront cut him deeply. He was the Shogun, the supreme power in Wano, and yet he had been dismissed by a mere subordinate of Kaido. Orochi's pride burned, and he vowed that he would not let this insult go unanswered.

As he paced his chambers, Orochi's mind raced through his options. His initial thoughts were dark and impulsive—a plan to retaliate against King, to remind him that his power in Wano was not absolute. However, he quickly realized that openly challenging King would be a grave mistake. King was one of Kaido's most trusted All-Stars, fiercely loyal and terrifyingly powerful. Any direct confrontation with him could not only backfire but also jeopardize his alliance with Kaido. Orochi knew he had to be more cunning, more underhanded, if he wanted to satisfy his wounded pride without endangering his own position.

A smile crept onto Orochi's face as he considered his next move. He would strike not at King, but at the one person King had intervened to protect—Komurasaki. Orochi's obsession with her had only grown stronger after her resistance. He viewed her rejection not as finality, but as an obstacle to be overcome. If he couldn't have her by persuasion, he would secure her in other ways, more manipulative ways, that would erode her resistance.

The first stage of his plan involved spreading rumors in the Flower Capital. Orochi would ensure whispers circulated among the populace, alluding to Komurasaki's supposed betrayal of Wano by aligning herself with the Beasts Pirates. By questioning her loyalty in the eyes of the people, he would force her into a more vulnerable position, one that would make her reconsider his offer of "protection." He chuckled to himself, envisioning the panic she might feel as she found herself turned against by the very people she sought to entertain.

But Orochi's schemes went deeper still. He sent for Fukurokuju, the leader of the Oniwabanshu, and tasked him with subtle surveillance of Komurasaki. Every movement she made, every interaction with King or any other member of the Beasts Pirates, would be noted and reported back to Orochi. He would use this information to chip away at her resolve, twisting her circumstances until she had no choice but to come to him.

Yet even these measures did not quench his thirst for revenge against King. Orochi's final strategy was to plant seeds of dissent within the ranks of the Beasts Pirates. If he could covertly sow rumors that Komurasaki's presence caused a distraction to King, he could hope to stir discontent or jealousy among the other members. Orochi knew that Kaido's crew was volatile; even small tensions could flare into conflicts if handled correctly. And if it reached a boiling point, King might find himself under scrutiny from his own comrades, ultimately forcing him to release Komurasaki.

Satisfied with his layered schemes, Orochi reclined in his chamber, his anger soothed by the anticipation of Komurasaki's eventual submission and King's downfall. Though subtle, his plans were in motion, and Orochi believed that it was only a matter of time before he had the last laugh.

As Orochi's mind buzzed with schemes and plans, he knew that his vengeance against King would need to be carefully orchestrated. He couldn't act impulsively; he needed leverage, something that would make King vulnerable, something subtle enough to work in the shadows.

Late one night, in a dark, secluded corner of the Flower Capital, Orochi summoned Fukurokuju, the captain of his ninja guard and leader of the Oniwabanshu. Fukurokuju, a man of cool calculation and absolute loyalty to Orochi, had always been an indispensable ally in the Shogun's plots. This time, however, their meeting would involve a more delicate maneuver—one that was meant to weaken King from within.

Fukurokuju arrived under the cover of darkness, slipping through the shadows and into the dimly lit room where Orochi awaited him. The ninja captain, his face hidden behind a cloth mask, knelt before Orochi with a bow.

"Fukurokuju, it is time," Orochi's voice hissed from the shadows. "King's arrogance is growing. His presence in Wano, his influence over Komurasaki—this must end."

The Oniwabanshu leader's eyes narrowed slightly. He had long been aware of Orochi's obsession with Komurasaki, and the recent incident where King had humiliated Orochi only added fuel to the fire. But Fukurokuju was a man of strategy, not emotion, and he knew his Shogun's request would require careful execution.

"I understand, my lord," Fukurokuju replied. "But what is it you wish of me?"

Orochi's smile was cold, his eyes glinting with malice. "King has grown comfortable. He spends too much time in the brothels of Wano, indulging in pleasures and distractions. He is weak, Fukurokuju. Weakness always reveals itself in time."

Fukurokuju's eyes flicked to the floor, his mind already calculating the possibilities. "You intend to use that against him?"

"Yes," Orochi purred. "King is distracted by Komurasaki, yes, but I believe we can exploit more than just his obsession with her. I've heard whispers that he's been frequenting certain establishments, letting his guard down. He's too confident, too assured of his strength."

The ninja captain nodded slowly. "If he is growing complacent, it may be an opportunity for someone to challenge him. But you would need more than just rumors, my lord. A challenge must be precise, timed."

"Exactly," Orochi said. "Which is where you come in."

Fukurokuju raised an eyebrow, waiting for the next part of the plan.

"I've heard from certain... sources, that King is not invulnerable," Orochi continued, his voice almost a whisper. "I know of a poison, a slow-acting but potent toxin that can incapacitate him without drawing suspicion. It is subtle, insidious, and if used correctly, could break him without a single blow being struck."

The ninja captain's eyes narrowed. "A poison?"

"Yes, Fukurokuju. I want you to take it. Infiltrate the Beasts Pirates, and offer this to one of their trusted officers. Perhaps one of the Tobiroppo—they're close to King, and they know how to get close without raising suspicion. The poison will work slowly, weakening him over time. By the time they realize what's happening, it will be too late."

Fukurokuju thought for a moment, then nodded. "And how do you intend to cause this rift among the Beasts Pirates? They have their loyalty to Kaido, and King holds a high rank."

"That's why I want to use his distractions against him," Orochi said, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile. "I want you to plant the seed of doubt. Spread rumors among the Beasts Pirates that King's behavior is becoming erratic, that his indulgence in the pleasures of Wano is taking a toll on his strength. It'll only take a few well-placed whispers to stir jealousy or resentment. After all, not everyone in the crew will be happy to see a subordinate of Kaido rise above them."

"Understood. I will do as you request," Fukurokuju said, already formulating the logistics of the operation in his mind. "I will speak to one of the Tobiroppo. The time to strike must be precise."

"Good," Orochi replied, a satisfied gleam in his eyes. "King's downfall is inevitable. When he is at his weakest, we will take him. Wano will belong to me once again."

Fukurokuju stood and bowed deeply before disappearing into the shadows, ready to carry out Orochi's plan.

As Fukurokuju departed to put Orochi's plan into action, the Shogun sat back in his chair, his thoughts filled with the coming consequences. He knew that the next steps would be critical. King's distractions, his indulgences, and his overconfidence would be his undoing. Orochi's mind was already calculating how to take advantage of the growing tension within the Beasts Pirates, and how to capitalize on every small weakness that King had revealed.

With the poison in play, and the seeds of dissent sown, it was only a matter of time before King would find himself outmaneuvered, and Orochi would have the last laugh. The power of Wano would soon be within his grasp once again.
