Chapter 427 - 429 (1/2)
The country of Vano.
After leaving the Daimyo's residence, Yeruashi went to the mountains near the flower capital.
Robin and Hiyori followed him.
Although it didn't make any sense at all in the current situation, Hiyori was accompanied by a group of samurai responsible for protecting her.
When they came to a deserted remote area, Yeruashi closed his eyes and folded his palms in front of him, starting to separate part of the power of the chakra fruit from his body.
Phew!
A small wriggling mass of white substance appeared between Yeruashi's palms, similar to a simple dough.
Outwardly, it was very similar to the spores of the White Zetsu, but completely different in its essence.
Soon the white substance stopped wriggling, taking a rather strange shape, resembling a pineapple.
This is a part of the power of the Jubi or Divine Tree, separated from the body of the Yeruashi and concentrated into the form of a seed.
Pooh!
Yeruashi opened his palm, throwing the seed of the Divine Tree on the ground.
At the moment of contact with the ground, the seed began to quickly burrow into it.
Hum!!!
After a while, the ground shook and began to crack from the place where the seed was buried.
Soon, a dark tree began to sprout from the ground, rapidly increasing in size.
”Stand back.”
Yeruashi grabbed Robin and Hiyori with his left and right hands, and then abruptly stepped aside with them, leaving room for the tree to grow.
Soon, the divine tree grew several tens of meters in height.
Although this tree could already be called gigantic, but it was nothing compared to a full-fledged divine tree.
It was just a seedling of the divine tree.
”From now on, everyone who will be sentenced to death or life imprisonment must go here to come into contact with the divine tree.”
Yeruashi turned to the samurai who accompanied Hiyori, continuing to look at the growing divine tree.
Although part of the nutrients necessary for the growth of the divine tree comes from the soil, but no less part is extracted from people.
The samurai were surprised, but did not dare to object.
Therefore, although changing the capital punishment was a very serious step, but there was simply no person in the Country of Vano who could influence the decision of Yeruashi.
...
The divine tree had a great impact on the Country of Vano, in less than one year of growth.
No.
The replacement of sentences to death and life imprisonment, to be sent to the divine tree, did not cause any particularly violent reaction.
It was something else.
