Kozuki Oden's Sailing Journal!

Storm suspected that Yamato didn't even know him.

Moreover, he has evidence.

To be shameless...

Now, on the vast ocean, is there anyone who doesn't recognize the White Dragon Emperor?

Even if you don't know the "White Dragon Emperor," you should at least know the "Red Dragon Emperor," right?

The Sabaody Archipelago incident was World Live Broadcast!

The entire ocean should have seen the face of the Red Dragon Emperor.

But Yamato didn't recognize him at all...

Storm couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times as he watched Storm Yamato with excitement.

"You..."

You really don't know me?

The question was on the tip of his tongue when Storm forced him to change his mind.

"You can't read?"

"Ah?"

Yamato's excitement was abruptly interrupted.

"Learn to read? I have read some books."

Um...

Storm thought about it again.

Yamato can indeed read.

Otherwise.

How could Yamato have read through Kozuki Oden 'Kozuki Oden nautical log and become such a die-hard fan?

Perhaps it's because Yamato has been "imprisoned" for Yamato years and has no way to obtain information from the outside world that he doesn't recognize him...

Storm offered himself a word of comfort and asked casually.

"Didn't you dislike your father? How come you like pirates?"

"Kaido is Kaido, and pirates are pirates; they are not the same."

Yamato addressed his father by his full name without any hesitation, speaking solemnly.

"I like pirates because the Pirate King is the freest person on this sea!"

"Nothing is more desirable than freedom!"

Not just die-hard fans of Kozuki Oden...

And he's a die-hard Pirate King fan...

Storm recalled Kozuki Oden's notebook, and a sense of interest arose within him.

Do you think the Pirate King is the freest person?

"Certainly!"

Yamato nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Pirates are free people, so the Pirate King must be the freest person!"

"That's very strange."

Storm deliberately frowned.

"You must have read Kozuki Oden's nautical journal, right?"

"That's right!"

Yamato nodded subconsciously, then paused, stunned.

"Eh? How did you know I'd read Oden Oden's notes?"

Kozuki Oden's Sailing Notes.

That was Yamato obtained from several daimyo of Wano Country who were also imprisoned by Beasts Kaido.

Logically speaking

Aside from the few Wano Country daimyo who have already died.

Probably no one knows that Yamato obtained Kozuki Oden's nautical journal.

How did my benefactor find out about this?

Could it be... Kaido told him?

Yamato glanced at the Beasts the Second beside her, who was completely unaware of her situation.

Oh, right...

Her benefactor seemed to have just said that this "Beasts" wasn't her biological father...

Where on earth did that big idiot Kaido go?

"I just know."

Storm gave a brief answer, then followed up with a question.

"Since you've read Kozuki Oden's nautical journal, you should know about the Roger Pirates' encounter on the Laugh Tale, Raftel, and you should also know about the legend of [Joy Boy].

Even so, you still think the Pirate King is the freest person?

Once Upon a time.

Storm also believed that the Pirate King was the freest person on the sea.

But now.

Storm only believed that Roger was the freest man on the high seas!

Joey Boy?

He was nothing more than a pathetic loser who died eight hundred years ago.

Monkey D. Luffy?

This guy is even worse than Joey Boy!

Luffy dreamed of becoming the freest Pirate King, yet he ate the [Nika Fruit] that was destined for him.

He lost true freedom from the very beginning.

A Pirate King reincarnated from a god...

One Piece, Pirate King upon which countless expectations were placed...

A Pirate King burdened with a heavy destiny for eight hundred years...

How can this be considered freedom?

Storm couldn't understand it at all.

He only feels now --

Roger was the Pirate King!

Roger is the one everyone wants!

"My benefactor is amazing! They know so much!"

Yamato first gave a compliment, then scratched his head.

"But what does [Joy Boy] have to do with Pirate King?"

Yamato was certainly aware of Joey Boy's existence.

She was also eagerly anticipating Joey Boy's arrival.

It was recorded in Kozuki Oden's nautical notes.

Twenty years later, Joey Boy will appear, liberate the sea, and grant freedom to the people...

Yamato had also hoped that Joy Boy would appear in Wano Country, defeat Kaido, and grant her freedom.

But what I didn't expect was...

Yamato never saw Joey Boy.

But then Vongola Storm arrived.

Although she still couldn't figure out what connection Joy Boy had with Pirate King...

Yamato's reaction left Storm somewhat puzzled.

"Didn't Kozuki Oden record Joey Boy's story in his nautical logbook?"

"You wrote it!"

Yamato nodded quickly, as if reciting it backwards.

"... Joey Boy was the first pirate in the history of the seas, the freest warrior on the high seas, capable of bringing endless laughter to people..."

"... If only I could be a man like Joey Boy!"

Storm understood.

There's no substance to it, just empty praise.

An inexplicable sense of unease rose within him.

Could it be that Joey Boy is actually a giant Kozuki Oden...?

He dragged down Great Kingdom from eight hundred years ago, betrayed the Mermaid Princess's trust, and left behind a great legend and power, remembered and respected by countless people...

Tsk!

Storm smacked his lips Yamato.

"Let me see Kozuki Oden's nautical log."

"Good!"

Yamato agreed without hesitation.

She pulled a rather old-fashioned nautical logbook from her bosom and carefully handed it to Storm, as if handing over a legendary Bible.

Seeing Yamato's devout and respectful attitude, Storm's eyes twitched involuntarily a few times.

Is this how brainless fans treat their idols' personal belongings?

Unbelievable!

Storm casually took the nautical logbook of Kozuki Oden and began to read it from the first page.

Somewhat surprisingly, Kozuki Oden's nautical log did not begin from the first day of his voyage.

Kozuki Oden's nautical log was started on his 17th birthday.

Opening content.

It was Kozuki Oden's 19th failed voyage, and then, on the way, he abducted a woman from the Capital of Flowers, making her his 19th wife...

It's worth noting that this woman is a married woman, or simply a "wife"...

Storm felt he had been subjected to mental pollution.

He had heard a little about this matter.

When Kozuki Oden was 15 years old, he began abducting women from the countryside, continuing this practice until he set sail. Wano Country even referred to this incident as the "Harem Rebellion."

There's an abstract feeling that "as long as it's perverted enough, it won't be disgusting enough to kill people."

Storm looked up from the logbook in his hand and glanced silently at Yamato.

This guy became a die-hard fan of Kozuki Oden just by reading diaries like this?

For the first time, Storm began to doubt whether his decision to recruit Yamato was the right one...

"Isn't Oden amazing?"

Storm looked at Storm Yamato bright, sparkling eyes.

"At such a young age, he has already conquered so many women!"

"I didn't see any impressive people."

Storm replied calmly.

"I just saw a perverted human trafficker who forcibly abducted a large number of innocent women and then imprisoned them together."

Compared to Kozuki Oden, the Celestial Dragons seem rather petty.

From the age of 15, Kozuki Oden began abducting women to build his own private harem.

In comparison.

Saint Charlos, who became a stepping stone for the Straw Hat Kid's rise to fame on Sabaody Archipelago, had only 13 wives by the age of 26 (and divorced 5 of them)...

Upon hearing Storm's words, Yamato pursed his lips.

"But don't you think Oden is really charming?"

"Um?"

Storm frowned, thought for a moment, and casually gave an example.

"Imagine I forcibly take you away now, turn you into a 'ninja weapon,' and then discard you after I'm done playing with you—"

"Stop!"

Yamato felt a cold sweat break out on his back and immediately interrupted Storm.

"I'm a man! How could you... how could you..."

"Are you a man?"

Storm gave Yamato a speechless once -Yamato.

"If a man really looked like you, I wouldn't necessarily find it unacceptable."

Just Yamato.

As long as the biological sex is female.

Let alone the fact that she identifies as male.

Even if her psychological gender is a multi-turreted steel warship.

Storm is also acceptable.

Yamato instinctively clutched his chest and took a few steps back.

"Don't look at me... look at the diary! Keep reading! It'll be much better later."

Storm readily agreed and continued reading the diary.

But the next article is even more substantial.

Kozuki Oden arrived in the Capital of Flowers and, at his deceased friend's funeral, in front of his friend's son and daughter-in-law, used his friend's remains as firewood to cook a pot of oden, which he then ate all by himself...

"Hiss..."

Storm gasped and couldn't help but pinch his brow.

Yamato mustered her courage again, approached, and began to praise her beloved "Oden".

"Isn't Oden so cool? He actually thought of this way to send off his deceased friend..."

"I just think the level of perversion has reached a new level..."

Storm didn't mince words and gave another example.

"Imagine your father Kaido died in battle against Whitebeard, and your Onigashima is holding a funeral ceremony."

"I ran over and, right in front of you, used your father's dragon bones to cook a hot pot."

What do you think?

Yamato's smile froze on his face.

I think what you're doing might be a bit too extreme...

"See? Even someone like you would find this behavior abnormal."

Storm was completely baffled.

"So why do you idolize that idiot Kozuki Oden?"

Second update.

Um...

If you stand by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

The first update was too late, which resulted in yesterday's update not reaching the required word count, wasting a leave request...

Sad.

Goodnight everyone.

I'll try to update earlier tomorrow.
