It was worth mentioning, however, that after Mousse's earlier words to Yasuie Shimotsuki were relayed by the latter, the Scabbards had all come to their senses. They no longer thought only of reaching the top in one step and completely solving everything, like their lord Oden had. So besides improving their own Combat Power, they had also become very enthusiastic about recruiting troops and seeking outside help.
Shutenmaru and Denjiro, who remained behind, prepared to contact every patriot in Wano Country who wished to resist Kaido and continue the guerrilla struggle against him over the long term.
Kin'emon and Kawamatsu, meanwhile, took Momo and his sister, along with Shinobu, who had regained her freedom after having her Devil Fruit ability removed, and headed with Cat Viper and Dogstorm to the latter's homeland, Zou. There, Momonosuke could train and grow up safely, pass through his most dangerous stage, and try to communicate with Zunesha, awakening the most terrifying talent he possessed as soon as possible!
But no matter how terrifying Zunesha's power was, it would likely be a headache when facing someone like Kaido, who could fly and had powerful long-range attacks. Zunesha's defenses were not actually that strong—ordinary cannons could injure it, let alone Kaido's various dragon breaths.
Therefore, Zunesha's main role was to serve as a deterrent and undermine the enemy's numerical advantage. As for Kaido and high-ranking officers like King, Wano Country's resistance army would have to kill them themselves.
Thus, after Cat Viper and Dogstorm returned, they would also have to strive to become the rulers of Zou. Only then could they use the strength of an entire nation, rather than merely their own, to take revenge on Kaido, push for Wano Country to open its borders, and fulfill their former lord Oden's long-cherished wish.
