Sig, Shanks, Morio, and White, along with Ritasha, left the Skypiea's secret base and reunited with Lucky Roo, Beckman, and others. They then listened to Ritasha's story...
"I see... Did your father lose his memory before? But when he left, he said he had something important to do, which means he must have remembered something. Does your father have any distinguishing features?" Beckman asked after analyzing the situation.
"Dad... was very gentle, usually very good to me and Mom, liked to drink, and was an excellent swimmer..." Ritasha recalled.
However, what they mentioned were things that could hardly be considered characteristics.
"What makes Dad different from other people?" Beckman asked patiently.
Just then, Aisha returned from Gennosuke. Aisha saw him and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! It's... it's him!"
"Huh?" The crowd gasped in surprise.
Gennosuke:???
"What a scumbag..."
"What a scumbag..."
Sig and Yasopp both pointed fingers and looked at Gennosuke with disdain.
"Huh? What are you talking about? Whose child is this?" Gennosuke looked completely bewildered.
"Don't listen to their interruptions!" Beckman glared at Sig and Yasopp, then turned to Aisha and asked, "You're talking about Gennosuke, doesn't he look a lot like your father?"
Ritasha's father left only six months ago, and he was around forty years old. How could he possibly be Gennosuke...?
"Hair! It's this kind of hair! I've never seen anyone else with this hairstyle except for Dad and this uncle!" Ritasha exclaimed.
"Hair? Isn't that a custom from Gennosuke's hometown? I remember... Gennosuke's hometown is in some closed country in the New World, right?" Lucky Roo said, looking at Gennosuke.
"That's right, little girl, are you sure your father also has a hairstyle like 'brother'?" Gennosuke seemed to care as well, and deliberately leaned forward to let Ritasha see clearly, emphasizing that it was "brother".
"Yes! It's this kind of hairstyle that really hides baldness. I even suggested it to Webber ..." Ritasha said with great certainty.
Gennosuke:...
Since hair is pulled back anyway, it's not very noticeable whether the baldness was caused by voluntary or involuntary baldness.
"Wano Country... Ritasha's father was from Wano Country?" Shanks seemed a little concerned upon hearing this.
After all, there was an important person from Wano Country on Roger's ship— Kozuki Oden...
Therefore, Shanks knew some of the special characteristics of Wano Country.
"Ritasha's father appeared on Sky Island ten years ago after losing his memory. Were any powerful figures from Wano Country leaving at that time?" Sig asked, looking at Gennosuke.
"I don't know. I left Wano Country with my father more than ten years ago," Gennosuke said with a sigh.
When Gennosuke left Wano Country, Kozuki Oden went "crazy" every week, which greatly disappointed Gennosuke's father, who then risked his life to escape Wano Country with his son.
Gennosuke's impression of Kozuki Oden was only his foolish behavior after returning to Japan, and he felt nothing but disgust. However, Gennosuke's father, until his death, Gennosuke speaking ill of Oden, which created a rift between the father and son.
One time, when Gennosuke a huff, his father passed away, which became Gennosuke regret for him.
When Shanks Oldest One met Shanks, he learned about the events in Wano Country and confidently declared that Gennosuke's father hadn't misjudged him; Kozuki Oden was an extraordinary person, and there must have been a reason for his actions...
Because of this disagreement, Gennosuke thought of his father again, and in his anger, he even attacked Shanks. This later became the Gennosuke to join the crew.
After thinking for a moment, Sig asked, "In what exact year did your mother meet your father?"
"I was born in 1503, so it should be... 1502, right?" Aisha said after counting on her fingers.
The Shandorian have also begun using the Sea Circle Calendar.
So, Aisha is only six years old this year, and the fact that she was able to drag Shanks and the others away before is considered "naturally strong" among humans!
Adding to her sister Aisha, who likely possesses naturally strong Observation Haki, Sig felt that from a genetic perspective, their father must have been a powerful figure.
And in 1502...
Sig was originally quite oblivious to dates and had difficulty comparing them with the original work, but it wasn't until he met Luffy that things became clearer for him.
Sig didn't know much about Kozuki Oden, and Wano Country was extremely closed off; outsiders only knew it was Kaido's territory. After his Sig, Sieg received virtually no information from Wano Country.
However, Sig remembers that Kozuki Oden's wife was a user of the Time-Time Fruit. After Oden's death, his wife sent Momonosuke, the "son that everyone in the readers hates," to 20 years in the future. Not long after Momonosuke traveled through time, he met Luffy "two years after the Marineford Luffy."
It is now 1509, and Luffy set sail in about 10 years.
In other words... if it was 1502, Kozuki Oden must have died within the last year or two, right?
Could it be that Aisha's father, a powerful figure from Wano Country, also suffered amnesia due to the war with Kaido?
However, Sig doesn't remember that one of Kozuki Oden's subordinates regained his memories "twelve or thirteen years ago"...
Of course, it's hard to say for sure what Sig's connection to Wano Country is, and he might also be some powerful fighter who hasn't appeared in the story yet.
"By the way, does your father have any markings on him?" Gennosuke asked.
Wano Country a family crest culture, so if you can see the family crest, Gennosuke should be able to recognize which family she belongs to—provided her father comes from a prestigious family.
"A mark..." Ritasha recalled, then suddenly remembered something. "Ah! That's right, there was such a pattern on the old bellyband that Father no longer wore!"
As Ritasha spoke, she drew a clockwise rotating crescent moon on the Island Cloud on the ground...
"Was it five or six again? I can go back and check!" Ritasha didn't notice that Gennosuke's expression had turned grim.
"Gennosuke." Shanks called out to him, realizing something.
"Ah... ah, no need, I understand..." Gennosuke himself to keep a normal expression.
"Really? Then do you know who my dad is? Is he a great hero who fought a bad guy and then lost his memory?" Ritasha asked expectantly.
It's clear that Ritasha still admires her father very much.
Gennosuke paused for a moment, then, looking at Ritasha's expression, forced a smile and said, "Y-maybe."
Shanks and the others naturally noticed that Gennosuke was in a bad mood, and took the opportunity to remind Ritasha that it was getting dark...
After Ritasha made a promise to everyone that she would come back to find them the next day and left, Shanks turned to Gennosuke and asked, "Do you recognize that family crest?"
"Hmm...that's...the crest of the Kurozumi clan!" Gennosuke had turned cold and solemn.
Although Gennosuke was only eleven or twelve years old when he left Wano Country, he remembered Kurozumi Orochi's brutality.
