-Become the shogun of Wano Country.
Hearing this news so suddenly, Yamato was naturally stunned for a moment.
Ever since she had awakened Conqueror's Haki as a child, Kaido had wanted her to become Wano Country's shogun.
The Yamato of the past had been deeply influenced by Oden's ideas. She had no desire to "rule others"; she only wanted "freedom."
Oden's greatest original sin had not been his actions, but his status.
...He was practically the Linghu Chong of the Pirate King world.
Calling him utterly worthless would have been unfair. He could fight, was generous and bold, and had a chivalrous heart. His brain just didn't work very well, and his behavior was wildly at odds with his position.
"No, no, no! Don't you need a surname to become shogun?"
Yamato's mind was a jumble of tangled thoughts. In the end, she simply tossed out the most superficial one.
She was no longer a caged bird who knew nothing beyond Oden's Journal. But even with her broadened horizons, the romantic ideal of the samurai remained deeply rooted in her bones.
Sephiroth had no objections to that. It was part of her personality and charm. Without those things, she wouldn't have been Yamato.
"Who cares about that? We've got the bigger fists! Kaido doesn't have a surname either, and he's still the 'Wisdom King'!"
Ulti, who had been nestled in Sephiroth's arms in a bridal carry, had been acting sweet and clingy a moment earlier.
At Yamato's words, she immediately turned prickly. Still held in his arms, she wriggled from side to side, her lower legs kicking restlessly.
When Yamato had flipped the table in her excitement, Sephiroth had pulled Ulti out of the way. She had taken the opportunity to perform a difficult gymnastic maneuver and latch onto him.
