Yamato, Go Become a Male Stripper!

"I'm sure my words have touched your soul."

Storm looked at Yamato was bowing his head and remaining silent, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

It seems this guy isn't a completely hopeless idiot.

At least her brain still possesses the ability to think normally and distinguish right from wrong.

That would be wonderful.

Storm didn't want to have a clueless, brainwashed fan of Kozuki Oden by his side.

Yamato lowered her head, almost burying her face in her chest, her exposed skin blushing with shame.

Recommending a beloved idol to one's benefactor only resulted in the benefactor shattering the idol's perfect image...

Family members, who understands this feeling?

Yamato's chest heaved violently a few times. She struggled to lift her head and said earnestly.

"Things got much better after that... Oden wasn't born perfect either. Although he was somewhat dissolute in his youth, he eventually grew into a wise ruler of Wano Country."

Storm smirked.

Is this the legendary "fangirl"?

But for some reason, it seems like the purity of Yamato isn't as high as before. Why is that?

Storm cleared his mind of distractions and did not respond to Yamato's words defending his idol, focusing his attention once again on the nautical log in his hands.

Just as Yamato said, Kozuki Oden did indeed become a bit more reliable later on.

Suppressing mountain bandits, gathering refugees, recruiting subordinates, maintaining order, reclaiming farmland, and constructing water conservancy projects...

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

Kozuki Sukiyaki, who was the shogun of Wano Country at the time, named Kozuki Oden the daimyo of the Kuri Kozuki Oden because of his outstanding performance.

Then...

Kozuki Oden abandoned his country and people and went to sea to become a pirate.

Um.

A subtle expression appeared on Storm's face once again.

Seeing Yamato, Yamato, who never learns from her mistakes, came over again and started praising her idol once more.

"How about that? Oden is pretty amazing, isn't he? After governing the country well, he resolutely chose to go to sea and become a pirate in pursuit of his dream of freedom!"

Storm couldn't understand Yamato's thought process. "Is this something to be praised for?"

"Isn't that right? Men who pursue freedom are the coolest!" A familiar light shone in Yamato's eyes.

"Oh, so in the name of freedom, you can just abandon your own people?"

Storm looked at Yamato with a half-smile, then casually stabbed her in the back.

"That's true, after all, you are Beasts Kaido's daughter."

You should definitely be happy about this.

"If Kozuki Oden hadn't irresponsibly abandoned Wano Country, how could the Beasts Pirates have been able to conquer it?"

To be honest.

If Kozuki Oden hadn't chosen to go to sea, but instead had contentedly served as the guardian deity of Wano Country...

Then none of the tragic events that followed Wano Country would have happened.

So that's why.

Storm still holds one viewpoint.

The reason Wano Country is in such a predicament is entirely its own fault!

Upon hearing Storm's words, Yamato was taken aback once again.

After a long while, she came to her senses and waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no! I'm not happy because I'm Kaido's daughter! And Oden wasn't irresponsible either—"

"Then what is he?"

Storm interrupted Yamato.

"A daimyo abandoned his country and people to become a pirate."

"What kind of behavior is this?"

Storm is not trying to smear Kozuki Oden.

He was simply recounting what Kozuki Oden had done.

Yamato opened his mouth, but couldn't find any way to refute it.

As Storm continued to read Kozuki Oden's nautical notes...

In Yamato's mind, the perfect idol image gradually crumbled along with it.

"... The really exciting part is about to begin!"

Yamato didn't want to discuss "responsibility" with Storm, so he directly used the tactic of changing the subject.

"Oden sailed freely on the seas with the Whitebeard Pirates Roger Pirates!"

"The World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard!"

"The Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!"

"What a legendary figure, what a wonderful adventure!"

Yamato did not deny Storm's words.

Leaving aside the issue of political stance...

Storm still highly regards Roger and Whitebeard.

Kozuki Oden's nautical notes clearly record his voyages with two pirate crews.

Storm began to read this section carefully.

This is a true "nautical log"!

Kozuki Oden initially sailed the New World with the Whitebeard Pirates until he was "recruited" by Roger, after which he joined the Roger Pirates to explore the secrets of the world.

Some truly useful intelligence information was also subsequently revealed.

For example, the location of the Road Poneglyph.

One piece, in the Sea Forest of Fish-Man Island;

A piece, Zunesha on the back of Zou;

One piece, in the treasure room of Totto Land;

One piece, in the underground city of Wano Country.

Kozuki Oden clearly recorded in his nautical log the Roger Pirates' discovery of the four Road Poneglyph.

That's not all.

Kozuki Oden also recorded information about [Ancient Weapon] in his nautical log.

The most detailed description of this is undoubtedly of the legendary, extremely evil warship—[Pluton, the Pluton].

Storm already knew that [Pluton Pluton was hiding in Wano Country.

To be precise, [Pluton] is hidden beneath the Fujiyama mountain range in Wano Country.

This point was not mentioned by Kozuki Oden in his nautical log.

Kozuki Oden only mentioned in his notes that "the Ancient Weapon [Pluton] lies dormant deep within the land of Wano Country. To obtain this legendary and extremely dangerous warship, one must break through the external barriers of Wano Country, that is, open Wano Country the world."

The present-day Wano Country is a semi-feudal, semi-colonial country that is closed off from the world.

Expelling foreign invaders and opening the country's doors is the dream of countless residents of Wano Country.

Storm declined to comment.

He doesn't care about the inhabitants of Wano Country; he only cares about the Ancient Weapon [Pluton].

'Discovering and excavating Ancient Weapon really requires professionals... Later, I'll find an opportunity to bring Robin and Vegapunk to Wano Country... Hmm, that's decided!'

Storm added taking down [Pluton, the Pluton of Hades] to his future plans.

He then continued to peruse his nautical logbook.

In Kozuki Oden's nautical log, there were also some pieces of knowledge and information that were "novel" to Storm.

For example, intelligence regarding Elbaf, the "World's Number One nation".

Giant Kingdom, Treasure Tree Adam, Underworld, God Worship...

Storm has never been to Elbaf, but through Kozuki Oden's nautical log, he has still glimpsed some of the splendor of the World's Number One nation.

'I remember making a promise with Robin to go to Elbaf and meet that Haguval D. Saul... I'll find another opportunity later.'

Storm also has considerable interest in Elbaf.

He had done some things before, such as rescuing the Red Ogre Brogy and the Blue Ogre Dorry, in order to establish a good alliance with Elbaf in advance.

Unfortunately, he never had the opportunity to visit Elbaf in person.

Storm turned the page on Elbaf and continued reading.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Next, what Kozuki Oden recorded in his logbook should be the Laugh Tale, Raftel!

However.

Storm looked at the few lines of text recorded in the nautical log.

If he remembered correctly, Yamato had just repeated those lines of text.

It was Kozuki Oden praising Joey Boy.

In addition, there is a cryptic statement.

"On that day, we learned everything about the world—"

"What is the [Void Century]... What is the [D Clan]... What are the [Ancient Weapon]... The Wano Country, which was connected to the world in the past... And the [Great Treasure] hidden on the Laugh Tale..."

No.

That's it?

Storm flipped through a few more pages in disbelief and found that it had already covered the story after Kozuki Oden returned to Wano Country.

This is outrageous!

Storm slammed the nautical logbook he was holding onto the banquet hall floor.

He had just forced himself to suppress his nausea as he read Kozuki Oden's nautical log, hoping to uncover the secrets hidden on the Laugh Tale, Raftel Tale.

The unexpected result was...

That guy, Kozuki Oden, even had to be a riddle teller in his nautical log!

Storm was disgusted on the spot.

First of all, he didn't really want to read the secrets of Raftel from Kozuki Oden's nautical log.

Secondly, Kozuki Oden is a disgusting monster!

If Storm really wanted to "cheat".

Pluton Rayleigh, who is currently "residing" in the Void Great Prison, is the best source of intelligence.

Under the power of Nine-Star Observation Haki, which allows one to "Hear the Voice of All Things," Pluton Rayleigh's mind is completely open to Storm.

Kozuki Oden is utterly disgusting.

"No!!!"

Yamato watched as Storm threw her "Bible" onto the floor like trash, she couldn't help but let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"My darling!"

After a careful inspection, Yamato breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that her precious nautical logbook had not been seriously damaged.

"Benefactor! Even if you are my benefactor! I would still be angry if you treated Oden Oden's diary like this!"

Storm openly insulted her idol in front of her brainless fan, saying, "Kozuki Oden was a complete bastard!"

The idiot's aggression is still too low.

For Kozuki Oden, ** was indeed a more suitable choice.

"Benefactor!"

Yamato stared wide- Yamato at Storm, his face puffed out in anger.

"I won't allow you to speak of Oden like that! He went through countless hardships to protect the country, and in the end, he paid the ultimate price!"

Storm tried to hold it in, but finally couldn't and gagged twice.

Then.

Storm wiped his mouth, stared at Yamato, and said in a low voice.

"You really want to become Kozuki Oden?"

Yamato's beastly instincts almost instinctively sensed something was wrong; she felt an immense malice emanating from her benefactor.

But when faced with this question, even if asked a hundred or a thousand times, Yamato would still give a firm answer.

"That's right! I want to be the man who becomes Kozuki Oden!"

"Then you should know..."

"Storm said calmly."

"Kozuki Oden danced in the Capital of Flowers for five years, didn't he?"

Yamato's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously swallowed.

Then Storm continued.

"You should know that I have already defeated Beasts Kaido, right?"

Yamato difficulty, "Yes..."

"So, Wano Country is now under my control. That makes sense, right?"

"Yes."

"So, since you are Kozuki Oden, you should also be able to pay the price to protect Wano Country, just like Kozuki Oden did, right?"

Yamato's back was immediately soaked with cold sweat, completely drenching her kimono.

"Alright, alright, after all, I'm not some kind of demon..."

Storm looked at Yamato, who was drenched in sweat, and gave him a kind smile.

"Go to Gran Tesoro, learn some skills from the Pleasure District Queen, and then become a world-class stripper—"

"No, it's becoming a male stripper."

"It's very simple, isn't it?"

Two minutes early...

Um.

There will be a second update.

It will be quite late.
