Lu Li found himself sharing a cell in Udon Prison with Yamato, Kaido’s daughter, who believed herself to be Kozuki Oden and wanted to defeat Kaido.

Yamato began to doubt her belief that she survived Kaido’s attacks because she was Kozuki Oden, leaving her wondering why Kaido had never executed her.
