Two days later, the Flower Capital welcomed another challenger.
"I will defeat Luo Wen and save those people!"
Upon seeing the city gate, Yamato let out a loud, imposing shout.
"Another madman who dares to defy the gods!"
The pedestrians at the city gate immediately dispersed, fleeing far away from Yamato's surroundings.
After several days of baptism, they believed that Luo Wen was invincible and that anyone who challenged him would suffer a heavy price.
Not only those who challenge him, but the entire Wano Country will be angered by this challenge.
The woman who was about to challenge Luo Wen was a plague-like figure.
"Everyone, is anyone willing to join me? Let's overthrow Luo Wen together and bring Wano Country back under the rule of the Kozuki Family!"
Yamato, carrying a spiked club, shouted loudly to those around him.
She hoped to gather a group of subordinates with her charm, just like Kozuki Oden.
"Run!"
"Another madman from the Kozuki Family!"
"Don't get dragged into that madman!"
Upon hearing this, the pedestrians turned pale with fright and ran away faster than rabbits.
In an instant, the city gate was deserted.
Those guys who caused trouble with the Kozuki Family last time were only recently sent to prison; they don't want to suffer the same fate.
"Tch, if no one's with me, I'll go by myself!"
Yamato didn't care and headed straight for the Shogun's Residence at the highest point of the Flower Capital.
Standing in front of the Shogun's Residence, looking at the Azure Dragon flying in the sky, Yamato showed a hesitant expression.
"Bull-headed Gorilla!"
Yamato shouted at the Azure Dragon.
"..."
The Azure Dragon did not react.
"It seems it's really under control."
Yamato was somewhat disappointed.
She hates Kaido and wants Kaido dead, but she doesn't want Kaido like this.
Wait, I'll kill you in a bit and give you complete freedom!
Yamato looked at the Azure Dragon and thought firmly.
Then, she looked at the gate of the Shogun's Residence and shouted, "In the name of Kozuki Oden, today I will eliminate you, this tyrant, and liberate six thousand people!"
Luo Wen walked out of the Shogun's Residence and looked at Yamato.
She has long, gradient white hair, mostly white, but gradually turning green at the ends and finally blue. She has a pair of red devil horns on her head and wears gold earrings.
She had fair skin and a beautiful face with a touch of heroism.
She is nearly 2.7 meters tall, but her proportions are very well-balanced, making her a perfect example of having a curvaceous figure.
"You're impersonating Kozuki Oden. What's so good about impersonating that good-for-nothing?"
Looking at the menacing Yamato, Luo Wen laughed mockingly.
This young lady is good in every way, except that her mind, which idolizes Kozuki Oden, needs to be cleaned up.
"You are not allowed to slander Kozuki Oden! He is the sinister bear of Wano Country!"
Yamato gritted his teeth as he glared at Luo Wen, ready to strike at any moment.
"Really? Did he defeat Kaido? Did he kill Kurozumi Orochi? Did he open Wano Country to the world?"
Luo Wen asked one question after another.
This is the most important thing that Kozuki Oden, as the heir to Wano Country, should have done.
But he didn't do any of them.
"..."
Yamato was stunned for a moment.
Kozuki Oden achieved none of these accomplishments.
But that's not important; Kozuki Oden had other heroic deeds.
Yamato and then stated Kozuki Oden's most significant achievement. "He went to the One Piece with the King of the Pirates, and he witnessed the creation of One Piece!"
"Have you ever considered that as the heir to Wano Country, abandoning the country to mingle with pirates, is he really a hero?"
"It was during his absence that Kurozumi Orochi poisoned his father and seized the position of shogun."
"If he hadn't left, perhaps none of this would have happened."
Luo Wen was simply stating the facts.
At that time, Kozuki Oden was still the daimyo of Kuri, and he ended up abandoning Kuri at sea, which is quite something.
"You can't blame him. If he had known this had happened, he definitely wouldn't have left!"
Yamato firmly believed in Kozuki Oden.
"Is that so?" Luo Wen sneered. "Kozuki Oden returned once during his travels with Roger's ship. Why didn't he resolve the Wano Country issue before setting off again?"
"That's the crew of the King of the Pirates! Taking down Kurozumi Orochi is a piece of cake."
Upon hearing this, Yamato was stunned.
After thinking for a moment, she retorted hesitantly, "That's because Roger's health is poor; he only has a year to live. By the time Oden resolves the Wano Country issue, they won't be able to reach the One Piece!"
"Let's not even talk about whether the country or pirates are more important. Take Roger for example. After finding the One Piece, he even went back to the South Blue to have a son. His health wasn't that bad, so dealing with Kurozumi Orochi wouldn't have taken him long."
Ultimately, either Kozuki Oden believed that the entire country was less important than Roger's two days, or Kozuki Oden was so stupid that he couldn't even understand something so simple.
Luo Wen looked at Yamato with a smile and posed a multiple-choice question.
"That's not true!" Yamato exclaimed. "Nobody knew Roger's physical condition at the time; you're just saying that after the fact!"
"Alright, consider this hindsight." Luo Wen readily agreed, "But after he returned from his travels, why didn't he ask Roger to deal with Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido? By then, the One Piece had been found, and Roger was still alive."
At that time, Kaido was just a promising pirate who could fight the young Moria to a standstill. Roger, on the other hand, was at his peak. If Roger had helped him, Kaido would definitely have had to run away.
Even if Roger couldn't do it, Kozuki Oden had asked his older brother Whitebeard for help, the result would have been the same.
He didn't want to trouble his friends; he wanted to handle things himself.
Yamato tried to explain, but he stammered.
"I understand now. It turns out that the entire country of Wano Country is not as important as the favors of pirates." Luo Wen had a look of Satori on his face.
"No, that's not how it is..."
Yamato's eyes were lifeless.
As Luo Wen spoke, the image of Kozuki Oden gradually crumbled.
But this was her idol of eighteen years; how could he be so easily shattered!?
Yamato, grasping at a straw, said urgently, "Oden sacrificed his dignity to save 24,000 people! In the end, he even gave his own life to ensure the Nine Red Scabbards could leave alive!"
The so-called 24,000 people naturally come from Kozuki Oden's diary.
It records that once he performed a naked dance, Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido released 100 hostages.
He jumped 240 times over five years, which means he rescued 24,000 hostages.
"What you said only proves his stupidity." Luo Wen's mind raced, and he could think of many rebuttals, "He danced naked for five years to save people. But during those five years, the Beasts Pirates and Kurozumi Orochi's power expanded wildly. They didn't stop killing people during those five years either!"
"Besides, Kaido probably doesn't have that much free time to capture 24,000 hostages, right? He'll most likely just grab 100 before Kozuki Oden's dance and release them after he's done. Isn't that just playing with idiots?"
"And how many of the people Kozuki Oden saved were later killed by Kurozumi Orochi? I have reason to suspect that he was a pervert who enjoyed nude dancing."
"As for keeping the Nine Red Scabbards alive by placing them on his head while they were in boiling oil, that's just a self-indulgent farce. If he had that strength, wouldn't it have been just as easy to get the Nine Red Scabbards out by fighting Kaido?"
The claim about 24,000 hostages was just a wild guess by Luo Wen, but it's still plausible.
How did the Beasts Pirates manage to capture 20,000 to 30,000 hostages eighteen years ago? They couldn't even feed them like pigs!
Even if Kozuki Oden really did save 24,000 people, the number of people who died because of his stupidity was countless, far exceeding 24,000.
"You're lying, you're cheating!"
"Kozuki Oden was a gloomy bear, Kozuki Oden was a wilted man..."
Yamato and over again.
However, the image of the wise and mighty Kozuki Oden in her mind had already developed a large crack.
