Pirates: How Many Divisions Do the Five Elders Have? I'm a Fan of Oden-nii Too
"Hehehe! Professor Ma Qiao, hurry up and bring out the wine!"
Upon arriving at Onigashima and reverting to his human form, Kaido's first words were to ask for sake.
Living a life of debauchery and constant drunkenness, Ma Qiao suspected that Yamato's mental instability was likely due to his father Kaido's excessive alcohol consumption.
Tahm Kench's belly was like Doraemon's pocket, constantly spewing out jars of fine wine, making Kaido grin from ear to ear.
Ma Qiao asked, "So where is that student who needs my intervention?"
"Students? What students?"
Kaido eagerly grabbed the sake jug and drank it down. Hearing Ma Qiao's words, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Oh right, I invited you here to give my son a lesson, not to bring me alcohol..."
By this time, many pirates had gradually arrived at the plaza.
They chanted Kaido's name, appearing to be in high spirits.
"Welcome back, Kaido!"
A tall figure pushed through the crowd and walked over.
The man looked very mysterious, his entire head was covered by a black mask, and he was dressed entirely in black clothes and trousers.
Besides this, what's even more impressive are the flames behind his head and the black wings growing from his shoulders, making him look like a fallen angel. (See picture)
Of course, if Ma Qiao hadn't seen him transform into Pteranodon and use his comical attacks, he might have been intimidated by his appearance. But now, seeing him makes him want to laugh.
One of the three All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates, Wildfire.
It is also the Special Races descendant that Charlotte Linlin has always dreamed of.
Behind him was a large, fat man wearing overalls and smoking a cigar.
It's another All-Stars, "Plague Queen." (See picture)
He appeared to be arguing with one of the officers from the Beasts Pirates.
They said things like, "It's not that I can't lose weight, it's just that I'll be too popular if I lose weight, and that will cause a lot of trouble."
Ma Qiao recorded this segment using his Mobile Den Den Mushi.
Hopefully, he'll still be able to smile after he gets liposuction from Ryokugyu. (See picture)
Do you guys know where Yamato went?
Kaido tossed the two jars of sake to Jin and Queen respectively, saying with a slight headache:
"Ever since that brat came to the island and caused a ruckus, Yamato has become even more unruly."
The "kid" they were referring to was Ace.
Before Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates, he had accidentally traveled to Wano Country and even set foot on Onigashima.
After fighting Yamato, the two actually became friends.
Ma Qiao didn't quite understand the ideas of these two rebellious young men.
Anyway, it seems that after Ace came here for a while and played house, nothing changed. It remains the same, waiting for the Sun God himself to come and experience the complete instance.
Yamato holds a special position on Onigashima.
Although she was essentially a prisoner, her hands were handcuffed and would explode if she left the island.
But Yamato is Kaido's "son" after all, so her status is still very extraordinary.
After stammering for a long time, Fatty Queen finally gave in to his older brother's intense gaze and forced himself to say, "Yamato Master Queen is causing trouble in the back mountain again."
"This is really a headache!"
Kaido rubbed his head. "Who's going to take Professor Ma Qiao over there?"
The All-Stars looked at each other.
Finally, both Jin and Queen's gazes fell upon their third brother, who had just returned home.
There was no other way, so Jack volunteered to take Professor Ma Qiao along.
From the air, Onigashima appears to be just a very small island.
But once you're actually there, you'll find that the area is actually quite large.
After all, Onigashima is large enough for two Four Emperors) and three Supernovas to fight, so it's naturally not too small.
After passing through numerous Japanese-style buildings, led by Jack, Ma Qiao rode Tahm Kench to the back mountain of Onigashima.
When Yamato was a child, she was imprisoned by Kaido in a cave in the back mountains.
There, she received help from three samurai from Wano Country and eventually escaped.
However, Yamato here is clearly not to commemorate the three samurai who helped him in the past.
"I am Kozuki Oden!"
Even from a great distance, Ma Qiao could hear a woman's voice deliberately husky.
Immediately afterwards, a huge wild boar, tears welling in its eyes, fled in panic.
Behind it, Yamato, with long silver hair, horns on his head, and wearing a demon Yamato, was relentlessly pursuing it, wielding a spiked club.
"Mountain God! You are forbidden to destroy the Flower Capital!"
Yamato yelled and shouted as he swung his spiked club at the poor wild boar.
"Mr. Ma Qiao, please don't take offense. Our Yamato master Yamato always likes to imitate a nasty fellow."
"It's alright, I already understand the patient's general condition."
Ma Qiao nodded, gesturing for Jack to step back first.
Yamato's actions at this moment were undoubtedly Oden the incident where Oden slew the mountain Mountain God who had stormed into the Flower Capital and caused destruction.
However, this is not the Flower Capital, and that poor wild boar is not some Mountain God.
Yamato had noticed Ma Qiao and Jack's arrival long ago, but Jack had already wisely left, while this strange man showed no sign of leaving.
She leaped forward, braked sharply, and firmly grabbed the wild boar's bristles, pinning it to the ground.
Who are you? Why are you here?
Yamato turned his head and asked in a deep voice.
"Me? I'm a fan of Kozuki Oden! Hey buddy, wait a minute!"
With that Ma Qiao dashed off into the distant woods.
Ma Qiao has experience in educating brainwashed fans.
Although he himself did it, in his previous life there were many guys who, posing as fans of his brother, infiltrated "brother's support groups" online to scam people out of food, drinks, and even... you know what.
In short, reasoning with mindless fans is useless.
The phenomenon of being obsessed with celebrities is even more intractable than being obsessed with romantic relationships.
Only by approaching them as one of their own can one find their weaknesses.
Soon, to Yamato's astonishment, Ma Qiao, dressed in samurai attire, with a katana at his waist, Demon Dancer Mask on his face, and wooden clogs on his feet, swaggered over from a distance.
Behind him followed another samurai, also wearing Demon Dancer Mask.
Yasuo, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth and his hands clasped behind his head, complained reluctantly:
"Captain Ma Qiao, weren't you supposed to be letting me slack off in Foosha Village? Why did you call me here to do some work?"
"Shut up, you piece of trash! It's been so long, and you still haven't joined King Luffy's organization!"
If it weren't for his student Yamato watching from a distance, Ma Qiao would have felt the need to set a good example as a teacher, otherwise he would have given this Happy Wind Man a good whack on the head.
"Captain Ma Qiao, I'm innocent!"
Yasuo quickly explained, "I've already taught that Liu Zoro a lesson once. He's practicing his swordsmanship diligently to get revenge on me. To get the attention of such a stubborn guy, you have to take it step by step..."
Ma Qiao scoffed, "Is this why you're always pestering Miss Makino for drinks?"
"Isn't it because the mission funding you gave us too little, Captain? It's not even enough for me to treat King Luffy and Liu Zoro to a meal!" Yasuo couldn't help but complain.
"Inviting these two guys to dinner will eat up all the event budget!"
Ma Qiao earnestly explained, "The back mountain of Foosha Village is the most famous leveling spot in the pirate world. What kind of wild beasts don't you find there? If you want to treat them to barbecue, go and catch them yourself. Why spend money to buy them?"
"Alright, alright, Captain Ma Qiao, don't worry, I'll definitely take care of King Luffy and Liu Zoro!"
Yasuo gave a thumbs up.
Although the Demon Dancer Mask obscured his expression, Ma Qiao couldn't see it, but he still felt that the guy's demeanor was rather unreliable.
As the two approached Yamato, they stopped whispering.
Yasuo may be incredibly lazy, but his acting skills are top-notch.
When he came before Yamato, the image of a lazy, master swordsman was already vividly portrayed.
Yamato curiosity.
"Who exactly are you? Were you sent by my father?"
"Young man, didn't I already tell you? I'm a fan of Kozuki Oden!"
Ma Qiao pointed to Yasuo beside him. "This guy has quite a background; he's Kozuki Oden's younger brother, Kozuki Yasuo!"
"Impossible!"
Yamato shouted, "Kozuki Oden didn't have a younger brother! You're lying to me!"
How do you know he doesn't have a younger brother? Did he tell you himself?
Ma Qiao pointed to himself. "I'm Kozuki Oden's number one fan and sasaeng fan, I know everything about Oden-nii!"
Yamato's brows furrowed with suspicion. "But during Kozuki Oden's time..."
"You mean Kozuki Oden's diary, right?" Ma Qiao asked with a smile.
"How did you know about the diary?" Yamato's eyes widened.
"What respectable person keeps a diary... Ah, I mean, of course I know that Oden-nii keeps a diary, and I also know that he carved words with Laugh Tale on Sky Island!"
You really know!
Yamato's eyes lit up, and he jumped for joy.
Apart from his close associates and those who had read his diary, very few people knew about Kozuki Oden's experiences during his journey with Roger.
For over a decade, Yamato has been trapped on Onigashima, unable to find anyone to discuss Oden's various deeds with.
Several months ago, Ace landed on Onigashima in search of a kidnapped girl.
Yamato and he became friends after they had a big fight.
Yamato told him the story of Oden, while Ace told Yamato about his adventures and the story of his younger brother Luffy.
Yamato and Ace, two young men, drank and chatted happily under the moonlight, but they didn't do anything that would please the masses; one could only say they were birds of a feather.
Although he was very happy during his brief time with Ace ultimately did not know much about Kozuki Oden's past and was unable to reminisce with Yamato about Oden's so-called heroic deeds.
But Ma Qiao was different.
"When he was 0 years old, he threw his wet nurse out violently;"
At the age of 2, it could catch two rabbits at the same time, demonstrating amazing leg strength;
At the age of 4, he threw a huge rock and killed a giant bear;
At the age of 6, he began frequenting brothels;
At the age of 8, he got into a fight with a gambler while drinking;
At the age of 9, he was blacklisted by a gang.
At the age of 10, he entered a quarry as a prisoner to serve his sentence;
At the age of 15, he abducted women every night to build his Harem;
At the age of 20, I used my friend's bones as firewood to Oden (Japanese stew).
..."
Ma Qiao recounted Kozuki Oden's "feats" with great familiarity.
Although Ma Qiao thought this bastard and idiot should have been shot against the wall by Sukiyaki back then, Yamato listened to such stories with rapt attention.
"Ah! So Oden was truly a great man!"
Despite feeling nauseous, Ma Qiao delivered his final concluding remarks.
Yamato Kaori's shoulders trembled incessantly as she removed the demon mask.
Sure enough, inside was a face that was just as beautiful as Nami's, already streaked with tears.
Although Ma Qiao didn't know what kind of personal charm Kozuki Oden, who was so obsessed with rice mixed with ashes, possessed, he knew that he had already succeeded in taking the first step into the heart of his adorable student.
"Miss Yamato..."
"I'm a man!"
"Oh, Yamato brother, please accept my condolences."
Ma Qiao handed Yamato a tissue and helped Yamato wipe away the tear stains on his cheeks.
If you could get it without stepping on a toad.
The scene of a handsome young man wiping away a beautiful young woman's tears under the shade of a tree must be quite beautiful.
Yasuo, who was standing nearby, had already set up his easel and sketched the scene.
"If I sell it to Miss Vivi..."
Before Yasuo could even finish his daydream, Ma Qiao delivered a powerful punch from above, slamming his head into the ground.
"Captain Ma Qiao, didn't you say you wouldn't use violence in front of students?"
Yasuo pulled his head out, looking resentful.
"I've thought it through. As Kozuki Oden's number one fan, being a teacher or something like that doesn't matter!"
Ma Qiao wiped his hands and gave a cold smile.
Yasuo quickly shrank his neck, crumpled the finished drawing into a ball, and swallowed it.
"That's right!"
Yamato snapped out of his reverie about Kozuki Oden and pointed at Yasuo.
"Although I completely believe that you, Teacher Ma, are a fan of Kozuki Oden, this man is Oden's younger brother. This just doesn't make sense... Oden's diary never mentions this!"
"That's good, it's a long story..."
Ma Qiao shook his head. "Because Kozuki Oden himself didn't know he had such a younger brother. Don't let Yasuo's mature appearance fool you; he's actually only sixteen years old this year. He was born after Oden's death!"
"How is this possible!" Yamato blinked, completely unable to comprehend what Ma Qiao was saying.
"Don't be surprised, that's just how it is."
Ma Qiao looked up at the sky, feigning deep sadness.
"Oden's father Kozuki Sukiyaki, learned of his only son's murder and, after much agonizing reflection, decided to have another son, Kozuki Yasuo, in order to revive the Kozuki Family!"
"Etc!"
Yamato said incredulously, "But Kozuki Sukiyaki died a long time ago. It's because he died that Kurozumi Orochi was able to become the shogun of Wano Country!"
"Do you also think that, given Kurozumi Orochi's ruthlessness, he would kill Sukiyaki, his benefactor, to eliminate any future trouble?" Ma Qiao asked.
"Isn't that right?" Yamato countered.
"Well..."
Ma Qiao hesitated for a moment. Even Ma Qiao himself didn't believe that Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido were actually kind-hearted and soft-hearted people.
Shaking his head, Ma Qiao pulled Lantern emitting a faint green glow from his pocket.
"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Brother Yamato. Even if I have a thousand words to say, it's hard to dispel your doubts. Why don't you come with me to see the truth of the matter?"
