What If Yamato Really Became Kozuki Oden?

"So, the Captain can be a fool sometimes..."

Nami watched Storm's rapidly disappearing figure, and couldn't help but sigh softly, rubbing her forehead.

However, noticing Yamato nearby, Nami quickly composed herself and gave the poor girl a bright smile.

Although Nami has no father or mother, she only has an adoptive mother and a step-sister.

But a scumbag father like Yamato, who treats his own daughter like a slave, is worse off dead than alive!

"Um, Yamato."

Nami waved her hand, easily creating a solid Island Cloud large enough to carry a person in flight.

"I'll take you on a tour of the Sky Garden first, so you can get to know the rest of the pirate crew—based on my understanding of the Captain, we'll probably have another lively Welcome Banquet later."

"Yay! I love banquets! Banquets mean I can eat my fill!"

Yamato immediately showed an excited expression.

"Nami, you're such a good person!"

"Don't describe a pirate as a 'good person'! I'll feel like I'm being looked down upon."

Nami waved her little hands repeatedly, then asked with concern.

"Were you always hungry before?"

"Hmm. Kaido never feeds me!"

Yamato rubbed his belly.

"The Captain is the best; as soon as he arrives, I can eat my fill."

"It's just that the Captain doesn't really like my idol— Kozuki Oden."

Kaido?

Nami's eyes widened instantly.

"Is that 'Kaido' the same 'Beasts Kaido' that I know?"

Yamato replied nonchalantly, "Yes! It's Beasts Kaido."

"Oh, this..."

Nami didn't know what to say.

Beasts Kaido already had a negative reputation on the high seas.

But a lawless, ruthless Great Pirate and a scumbag who abuses his own daughter...

There is still a certain difference between the two.

The former is simply evil.

The latter is disgusting.

However, what left Nami speechless was something else entirely.

"Um... Yamato... you should know that the Captain defeated, and even captured... your father, right?"

"Yes, the Captain told me."

Yamato nodded, still with an indifferent expression.

"If the Captain hadn't defeated Kaido beforehand, I would have wanted to defeat him too!"

Nami's lips twitched involuntarily a few times. "The relationship between you and your father is really..."

"I no longer consider Beasts Kaido to be my father!"

Yamato said loudly, and then, like a preacher, began to recommend Nami's idol.

"I admire heroes like Kozuki Oden!"

Nami controlled the Island Cloud and strolled around the Sky Garden with Yamato.

During this time, Nami also heard many "legendary stories" about Kozuki Oden from Yamato.

But the Little Thief Cat became increasingly absurd.

By the end, Nami even felt that Yamato was deliberately being sarcastic.

"Um, do you really like Kozuki Oden?"

"It's not that I like it."

"Um?"

"It is worship."

"Ha!?"

"And it's super worship!"

"The Captain was right after all..."

Nami muttered something under her breath.

She used to think Yamato was quite pitiful.

Now... I just feel more sorry for Yamato.

This silly girl must have been malnourished since childhood, causing her brain to be damaged by hunger, which is why she thinks that Kozuki Oden, such a pure good-for-nothing, is a hero.

Nami spoke in a very low voice.

But Yamato still managed to glean a key word from it.

"Captain!?"

Yamato panicked and immediately looked around, afraid of spotting that man.

Nami, seeing Yamato's reaction, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yamato, you seem very afraid of the Captain?"

"No, that's not it..."

Yamato breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Storm, and then explained.

"It's just that the Captain thinks Kozuki Oden is... well, not someone I admire as much as he does."

"He even told me that if I ever said I admired Kozuki Oden again, he would send me to jump, to jump..."

Yamato hesitated, but still didn't say anything.

Nami's eyes darted around a few times before she tentatively asked.

"Go dance the nude dance that your idol loves to do?"

Yamato a grim expression, but she immediately realized what she meant and corrected herself.

"Kozuki Oden didn't enjoy dancing naked; he was selflessly dedicating himself to the people of the entire nation!"

"Hey~"

Nami was disgusted by Yamato's way of describing her.

"I didn't see any 'dedication,' I just saw a stupid, incompetent piece of trash who let everyone down."

"Nami!"

Yamato looked at Nami with a slightly mournful expression.

"Why are you saying the same thing as the Captain?"

"Yeah?"

Nami seemed a little happy, and then she began to give Yamato examples.

Let's make an assumption together.

Yamato was confused by Nami's words.

"Assumption? What assumption?"

Nami said, "Let's assume you are Kozuki Oden."

"Yay!"

Yamato cheered once again.

"Nami! Can you say it again? It's that one..."

"Are you Kozuki Oden?"

"That's right! Woo-- Nami, you're such a good person."

"I... never mind, let me finish what I have to say first."

Nami then began to tell her imagined story.

The Wano Country.

The current ruler is Beasts Kaido.

Beasts Kaido has a very troublesome "son" —Yamato.

As Beasts Kaido's "son," Yamato is destined to become the next ruler of Wano Country.

However, one day, Yamato suddenly left Wano Country with the Dawn Pirates. For freedom and her dream, she abandoned her elderly father, loyal retainers, and ordinary people, and resolutely chose to set sail.

Yamato blinked.

However, this example is quite relevant to her current situation.

However, this is in comparison to Kozuki Oden during his time at sea.

Yamato had few subordinates or followers.

Her relationship with her father, Beasts Kaido, was even worse than that of the Kozuki family.

"Nami, please continue."

Nami nodded.

Yamato follows Dawn Draig, the Captain of the Dawn Pirates.

She followed Draig across the seas, conquering the Grand Line, and reaching the ends of the earth.

Ultimately, the Red Dragon Emperor Dawn Draig became the Pirate King.

Yamato retired successfully and returned to Wano Country.

However, at this moment, she discovered that her father, Beasts Kaido, had died unexpectedly.

The power to rule Wano Country has shifted from Beasts Kaido to Gecko Moria.

The true master of Wano Country is hidden behind Gecko Moria—

Captain of the Storm Pirates, the White Dragon Emperor Vongola Storm!

Yamato couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

This development also aligns well with Kozuki Oden's life trajectory.

Only...

Although Yamato disliked Beasts Kaido, she did not want him to die unexpectedly.

Death is ultimately too cruel.

Let Beasts Kaido go to jail!

The kind that involves life imprisonment.

From this moment on...

Yamato suddenly realized that Kozuki Oden...

Perhaps, maybe, it seems, it does seem to be a tiny bit irresponsible?

Nami's fictional story continues to unfold.

Yamato, confident in his martial prowess, seeks revenge against the White Dragon Emperor.

However, before she could even see the White Dragon Emperor, she was stopped by Gecko Moria.

Gecko Moria threatened ordinary people in Wano Country, demanding that Yamato perform a nude dance in the Capital of Flowers.

The White Dragon Emperor has opened a new factory, Yamato is dancing;

The White Dragon Emperor repelled the invading enemies, Yamato danced;

The ancestor's grave in Wano Country has been dug up, yet Yamato is still dancing;

The ordinary people of Wano Country suffered heavy casualties in Gecko Moria's weapons factory, the country was devastated and the people were impoverished, Yamato continued to dance.

This leap took five years.

Yamato's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Why is she dancing again?

And.

Foreign invasion, national ruin, and widespread suffering...

So many significant events have occurred.

Why am I just dancing the whole time?

Nami glanced at Yamato's expression and continued telling the story.

Yamato has been dancing for five years.

She very "successfully" destroyed all the public support she had originally enjoyed.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late. Yamato "timely" realized Gecko Moria's true nature and finally decided to take him down.

At this time, the only ones still by Yamato's side were the All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates and the Flying Six, collectively known as the "Nine Beasts Slayers".

Relying on their superior military strength.

Yamato easily defeated Gecko Moria, who had once again become a fat otaku.

Unfortunately, this was due to a Clay Doll left behind in Wano Country by the White Dragon Emperor.

Yamato has been defeated by Clay Doll again...

Yamato, along with the Nine Beasts, became Gecko Moria's prisoner.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Yamato hearing this, Yamato couldn't help but speak up.

"Kozuki Oden clearly defeated Beasts Kaido back then!"

"If it were me, I should be able to defeat the White Dragon Emperor, right?"

"It's out of the question!"

Nami stuck out her tongue.

"Even hypothetical, I can't hypothesize the possibility of the Captain failing..."

"My Captain is invincible."

"But now you finally realize— Kozuki Oden had the ability to solve everything from the very beginning, right?"

All of Yamato's negative emotions came to an end with this one sentence.

Yes...

From the very beginning, Kozuki Oden possessed the ability to resolve all troubles.

But what exactly did he do?

Nami looked at Yamato, who suddenly seemed dejected, and couldn't help but shake her head. She then began to fill in the gaps in her hypothetical story.

Yamato's campaign against Yamato suffered a complete and utter defeat.

She lost her elderly father;

They lost the hearts Wano Country;

They lost their most loyal Nine Beasts Warriors;

In the end, he even lost his own life.

On the day Yamato was stewed into a pot of dog meat by Gecko Moria.

Gecko Moria completely took over Wano Country.

Yamato lost everything.

Gecko Moria got everything.

The ending was very satisfying.

"Perfect my foot!"

Yamato couldn't help but scratch his head vigorously.

"Where is the White Dragon Emperor? Why didn't White Dragon Emperor appear at the very end?!"

"That's because my Captain is no longer confined to the small Wano Country."

Nami said with a grin.

"The Red Dragon Emperor has become the new Pirate King, and my Captain has become the new World King!"

Yamato said in a very agitated tone, "The ending of this story doesn't fit Kozuki Oden's life experience at all!"

"Yeah?"

Nami shrugged and said with disdain.

"But didn't Kozuki Oden also lose everything?"

"The person who clearly had the ability to end everything ended up destroying everything in the end."

"Family, subordinates, citizens, even the entire country... all were lost by Kozuki Oden!"

"So why do you admire that good-for-nothing Kozuki Oden?"

Yamato let out a mournful cry of shattered Dao heart, like a stray dog whose rice bowl had been smashed.

"Waaaaah--I'm so stupid, really..."

Second update.

Before 4 PM!

Goodnight everyone.
