Kozuki Problem and the Giant God Soldiers!

[Slap]

He placed the microphone back on the Den Den Mushi's back, and as it closed its eyes to continue resting, Imu poured himself a glass of red wine, then slowly swirled it. The aroma of the wine gradually filled the room, a scent he thoroughly enjoyed.

His particular fondness for red wine was undoubtedly influenced by his predecessor, since his favorite drink in his previous life was Karaku!

To be honest, he still can't understand how Karaku be used as an energy source, and he really hopes that kid Cutty Flam can figure it out soon.

" In Wano Country, I remember at this time of year, Kozuki Oden would have already started his naked dance, and then he wouldn't receive the newspaper about Roger's execution until next year."

Because of his nude dance, Kozuki Oden lost the trust of most people over the next five years, and their initial disappointment turned into disgust.

"However, he has only just begun to act, Wano Country are probably only in a state of disappointment. Sending people over to suppress him at this time would be inappropriate."

In Imu's opinion, it would be best to wait four or five years before going to suppress them. By then, even if Kozuki Oden wanted to lead the rebellion, he would only have the so-called Nine Red Scabbards by his side, and most of the Samurai would not follow him.

Speaking of which...

It seems that Kozuki Oden was a proponent of Open-Country Faction, advocating the abolition of Wano Country's isolationist policy, while Kurozumi Orochi was a staunch Isolationist Faction resolutely implemented the isolationist policy, and did so even more thoroughly.

From this perspective, what Kozuki Oden was trying to do actually aligned with the World Government's position.

Certainly.

The premise is that this guy's founding principles include joining the World Government.

"Wano Country must open its borders, join the World Government, and be subject to near-direct control. Therefore, Kurozumi Orochi must be eliminated, but Kozuki Oden cannot be allowed to regain his position as Shogun!"

Imu quickly reviewed the World Government's basic attitude towards Wano Country in his mind.

In his view, the best course of action would be to completely eliminate the Kozuki Clan, eradicate them completely, because this family was simply too special.

From a historical perspective, he was a descendant of the previous dynasty with impeccable lineage, but more than eight hundred years had passed. From the perspective of this time traveler, such a long time had passed, which didn't matter. After all, the descendants of the Manchu in his previous life were still alive and well, weren't they?

But the key point is that what they possess is quite important!

Firstly, the Kozuki Clan is Stone Mason Clan that has been processing stone for generations, possessing the technical ability to process any ore, such as indestructible Poneglyph.

This also led to the development of exquisite techniques for processing Seastone.

Secondly, the Kozuki Clan has inherited the method of deciphering Ancient Script for generations, enabling them to understand all the contents of the Poneglyph and even freely add their own Poneglyph.

Finally, there's the inherited secret technique for Internal Destruction Armament Haki.

According to the tradition of Wano Country, they collectively refer to Armament Haki and the techniques for using Armament Haki as "Ryou," but they can actually distinguish between advanced and basic techniques.

When Hyogoro was teaching Luffy, he said that the techniques Rayleigh taught Luffy were actually more advanced than the "Ryou" technique he taught.

Where did Rayleigh get his more advanced 'Ryou' (Advanced Sakura)?

The answer is that it comes from Kozuki Oden, or rather, the ability of the Kozuki Clan to inscribe words on the Poneglyph is the Internal Destruction of Armament Haki.

When Roger was on Sky Island, he had Oden inscribe what he wanted to say on the Poneglyph, which is enough to prove that Roger and his crew did not have this skill at the time.

Because this is a technique passed down through generations of the Kozuki Clan!

Roger and other powerful outsiders possessed techniques involving the Coating of Conqueror's Haki, which Kozuki Oden was unaware of. That's why he exclaimed in surprise, "What is this?" when he was first attacked by the Divine Departure technique.

Certainly.

Imu himself possessed the Armament Haki technique that could attack the interior of matter, but he, or rather his predecessor, did not teach the method to his subordinates.

The reason is self-evident.

"Should I pass on this technique for Internal Destruction Armament Haki? After all, we've already embarked on the path of conquering all worlds, and it's also necessary to improve the World Government's advanced combat capabilities."

This question caused Imu to fall into deep thought and hesitation; sometimes, having too many powerful subordinates isn't a good thing.

"Speaking of which, Amazon Lily, which is just a stone's throw away, also has a lineage of Armament Haki, and it seems to be in the area of mastering Coating Techniques."

"Never mind, let's think about the Kozuki Clan first."

"But with Kozuki Toki Shi's abilities, killing them wouldn't be easy. Who knows how many years into the future she might send them to at a crucial moment?"

In his view, this was tantamount to personally throwing several time bombs into the future, and the kind of time bombs that they hid so well that they didn't even know where they were.

"Oh, and her son, Momonosuke. That brat can command Zunesha's actions, tsk tsk tsk."

Imu felt that everyone in this family was talented, and even the seemingly ordinary Kozuki Hiyori possessed beauty that could be considered the most beautiful woman in Wano Country.

"This is a bit tricky, but the things that need to be done still need to be done!"

The World Government, like a giant ship, has already begun to accelerate; the tiny Wano Country is not yet in a position to slow it down.

"Polulu, Polulu"

Then the Den Den Mushi rang again, but this time it wasn't the one used by the Five Elders, but another, more ordinary Den Den Mushi next to it.

Imu picked up the receiver, and the Den Den Mushi spoke up the next moment, "Saint Nerona, there's been a problem with your vehicle, it's Admiral Garp..."

The person speaking on the other end was Stussy, who was giving a helpless report from Fish-Man Island.

"Did someone push Noah to the surface of the ocean, thousands of meters above sea level?"

When Imu heard what Garp was going to do, he was speechless. Why bother? He could have just had Stussy use his Mini-Mini Fruit ability to capture it.

But that really does have Garp's style.

"Then let him push it!"

In his view, it was quite good that a dignified naval hero, Navy Admiral, put in so much hard work to prepare a vehicle for him; he felt it was more interesting than simply taking it away with his abilities.

"OK."

Imu had just hung up the call and put the receiver back when the Five Elders' signature Golden Den Den Mushi rang again. Of course, he had to answer it.

"Lord Imu."

As soon as he heard the voice, he recognized it as Topman Saint Topman Warcury, and then asked coldly, "What is it?"

"The Giant Guard prepared for your upcoming trip are ready. Would you like to meet now, or wait until the day of departure?"

"Oh?"

Imu raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. After a moment's thought, he instructed, "Call them over after Stussy returns."

"Yes, sir!"

Topman Saint Topman Warcury responded respectfully, and then Imu asked again, "How are the armor and weapons prepared for them?"

"The Industrial Division is working hard to expedite production, but because of its large size, the quantity of three sets, and the need for entirely new materials, it will take some time, but we guarantee timely completion!"

Imu nodded indifferently, acknowledging the explanation. "Make two more sets, in sizes of 21.3 meters and 22.6 meters."

"Yes, sir!"

Topman Saint Topman Warcury never asked why; he simply obeyed and did as instructed.

Imu then thought about it and felt that Giant Soldier sounded too ordinary and didn't have any sense of grandeur. The next second, a mocking look appeared in his eyes.

"From this day forward, my Titans guards shall be called Giant God Soldier!"

Garp's Armament Haki's Internal Destruction ability was likely developed through his own experience of hammering eight mountains, which he then used to flatten Chinjao's Chin-Jao the Drill.

This is the difference between Garp and Zephyr, both masters of pure Physical Arts. Zephyr doesn't have this kind of technique, nor does Sengoku, but they can still cause penetrating damage with the Great Buddha Shockwave.

The reason Akainu was able to defeat Aokiji is most likely because the Magma-Magma Fruit's power, in addition to high temperatures, also possesses the explosive force of a volcanic eruption, which is why it is called the most powerful Devil Fruit. It also compensates for the lack of Conqueror's Haki Coating and Armament Haki Internal Destruction.

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit also has a penetrating effect similar to Internal Destruction damage, and sufficiently strong Shockwave also have a penetrating effect.

For example, the Rokuogan, and the Sky Island's Reject Dial. Do you all remember the scene where Enel was almost killed by the Reject Dial? If he hadn't been able to electrocute his own heart, he would have been defeated then and there. This is enough to show that a sufficiently strong Shockwave is effective against elementalization.

Note that this is a sufficiently strong Shockwave, not Shockwave of any magnitude.

Therefore, Lucci and Zephyr likely use techniques like the Rokuogan to break through thick skin or Armament Haki defenses, which to some extent compensates for their inability to use Conqueror's Haki Coating or break through Armament Haki Internal Destruction.

The above is the result of our discussion in the group. You can also consider it as a fan fiction interpretation, which is fine. Just know that this is the setting of the book.

Don't dwell on it too much, arguing about it is pointless. If you're interested, you can contact us.
