Kozuki Oden's Absolute Justice
"Kin'emon, you don't need to..." Just as Kozuki Oden was thinking of comforting Foxfire Kin'emon, a loud explosion came from the mountain gate.
"Damn it, are those three bastards again?" Foxfire Kin'emon, already furious, immediately prepared to pick up his longsword and fight the "Three Calamities" to the death, completely unaware of Kozuki Oden's gloomy face that was almost dripping with water.
"A vast and profound aura, yet completely different from that of Beasts Pirates. Is this truly the will of Heaven to destroy my Kozuki Family?" After sensing the enemy's aura with his powerful Observation Haki, Kozuki Oden Foxfire Kin'emon, who was about to leave, "Kin'emon, you, Kanjuro, and Raizo, take Tao Tao and leave immediately."
"The enemies appearing outside the mountain gate now are not the Three Calamities of the Beasts Pirates of enemies. Moreover, one of them possesses an aura far surpassing the Three Calamities, even approaching that of the monster Kaido. Although I don't know why they would target my Kozuki Family, being targeted by two monsters like these undoubtedly greatly accelerates the destruction of my Kozuki Family. Even if we manage to escape today's calamity, Kaido will consider the threat posed by this newly appeared group of enemies and will no longer slowly erode our strength, but instead launch a full-scale attack. Therefore, the Kozuki Family truly has no hope left." Kozuki Oden knew he had to quickly dispel any remaining hope in Foxfire Kin'emon's heart to prevent him from hesitating.
"Hurry up and go! Do you want me to kneel down and beg you?" Seeing that Foxfire Kin'emon was still hesitating, Kozuki Oden immediately knelt down.
Seeing this, Foxfire Kin'emon was naturally terrified and dared not accept his lord's generous gift. He could only flee while crying out, "Oden-sama, please hold on!"
After Foxfire Kin'emon left, Kozuki Oden finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then straightened his clothes and strode out with a solemn expression.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" a guard shouted frantically as he retreated.
"Calm down, how many enemies are there? Ten thousand or twenty thousand?"
"Uh, I think there are nine." Seeing the captain's murderous expression, the guard quickly explained, "Each of them is a super strong fighter who can take on a thousand men. We can't stop them at all. Numbers are meaningless."
"Idiot, the other side has a super strong expert, but we don't? Don't forget, this is the Kozuki Family, and the clan head is the number one swordsman in Wano Country. These petty thieves won't be able to cause trouble for long."
"Captain, what you said..." The guard suddenly felt a burning heat, as if the sun had been pulled much closer. He looked up and screamed in horror, "Ahhh! The sun has fallen! We're doomed!"
"Idiot, how could the sun fall down? This is clearly a meteorite! Wait... a meteorite?" After scolding the captain for looking up, the captain suddenly realized what was happening and yelled like a guard, "Aaaaaah! A meteorite is falling! We're doomed!"
"One Sword Style: Polar Star!" It was as if the Aurora had pierced through the sky, instantly shredding the rapidly falling meteorite into dust.
"It was... it was Oden-sama who saved us, hooray!" Upon seeing Kozuki Oden, who had landed directly beneath the meteorite, the guards cheered as if they had found their pillar of support.
"Damn it, I still can't fully control the power of this body?" Augustine said with considerable frustration. "If I could pull down a meteorite powerful enough to destroy an island, I would definitely be able to achieve a great victory in one strike."
"The aura I sensed earlier doesn't belong to you, intruder. Let your leader come out and speak to me." Although Kozuki Oden spoke rudely, his heart sank. He didn't even think he could handle the blind man in front of him, let alone the powerful figure who had appeared briefly with a vast and boundless aura earlier.
"If you want to see Lord Law... Madara, you'll have to get past me first." As a die-hard fan, Augustine naturally stepped in front of Kozuki Oden without hesitation.
"You should step back now. This is my battle!" Roy's calm voice came from behind Augustine.
"Lord Madara, I'm so sorry, I forgot your instructions." Augustine's trembling expression completely stunned Kozuki Oden, his brain going into a daze.
He could clearly sense that the person in front of him was definitely a top-tier expert, as evidenced by the meteorite that had just fallen from the sky. Yet, this expert had no dignity whatsoever in front of that young man.
You must understand, every strong person has their own pride, especially big shots like them who stand at the pinnacle of the ocean. He simply couldn't imagine just how strong this young man was that he could command such awe from this blind man.
Kozuki Oden took a deep breath and said, "I have never met you before. Why do you immediately start shouting for Oden? Is there something I have done to offend you?"
Looking at Kozuki Oden's mature and composed demeanor, it's hard to imagine that Momonosuke is his descendant. Roy even couldn't help but maliciously speculate that Kozuki Oden had become a scapegoat.
"My intention was simply to test your magnanimity and to use you as a worthy opponent to measure my own magnanimity, nothing more."
"What a ridiculous and laughable argument! Just for this reason, you would personally destroy my Kozuki Family and ruin the future of Wano Country?" Hearing Roy's nonchalant words, Kozuki Oden was furious.
"To jeopardize the future of Wano Country? You're overestimating yourself. Of course, if you insist on giving me a high-sounding reason, it's not difficult." Roy gestured for Harvey to come forward. "You should be quite familiar with him, shouldn't you?"
"So it's Nobunaga's nephew?" Kozuki Oden was taken aback, then said without any shame, "If it's about what happened back then, I'm sorry. But if time could turn back, I would still make the same choice. Although I'm sorry to the Oda Family, I can say that I have done right by the people of Wano Country."
Harvey laughed in anger, "Your pretense of caring for the world is truly laughable. My father was deceived by your hypocritical face, which is why he ended up like that."
"That's not the case. I've never acted out of selfish desires." Kozuki Oden said solemnly, "If a monster like Kaido, who is obsessed with destroying the world, were to obtain the Poneglyph and decipher the ultimate secrets of this world, it would be a devastating blow to both Wano Country and the entire world."
"Therefore, I absolutely cannot fail. I need more power to resist Kaido, but the Oda Clan Leader hesitated at the most critical moment. For the future of this world, I have no choice but to take this drastic measure."
Harvey was completely dumbfounded. This was the first time he had ever seen such a fresh and unconventional excuse. One minute it was for Wano Country, the next it was for the world. How did it turn Kozuki Oden, the murderer who massacred his clan, into a good person?
Roy's expression was strange, because in his perception, Kozuki Oden was not lying. In other words, he really was doing it for the so-called world peace. He firmly believed that everything he did was to save Wano Country and the world.
It must be said that his ideas are indeed admirable, but his actions are hardly praiseworthy.
After all, Kaido is clearly targeting your Kozuki Family. At this moment, you say to the Oda Family, "Give me all the power you possess, or this world will be destroyed after my Kozuki Family is destroyed."
Anyone with a modicum of sound mind would never agree to this. This is not how you spread alarmist rumors. In Roy's opinion, the fact that the Oda Clan Leader hesitated for a moment and did not refuse outright was already a favor to him.
It's like someone said that the world is in a crisis of destruction, but as long as your whole family dies, you can survive this crisis. What would you do?
Regardless of what others think, at least in Roy's view, this kind of moral high ground-based blackmail is the most disgusting.
