One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

It was only then that Yamato realized what was happening.

She was completely immersed in the joy of freedom, subconsciously giving it her all, as if she wanted to say goodbye to her past self.

She even subconsciously imagined Ace as her father, Kaido!

Therefore, therefore.

"Ace!"

Yamato ran towards Ace in a panic.

She would feel guilty if she killed Ace!

Loya was exasperated and sighed.

Poor Ace.

He didn't even intend to make a move this time, but Ace still couldn't escape his fate and even got hit by a Thunder Bagua. It's hard to say whether that was lucky or not.

That kid has a lot of vitality.

I probably won't die, right?

Chapter 154 Oden in My Imagination

The Spade Pirates' ship.

Ace was taken to the emergency room.

The rest of the crew huddled in a corner of the deck, trembling with fear as they watched the two menacing figures standing at the bow, not daring to even breathe.

The navy's black hair was enough to frighten them, but now there's another monster who almost killed the captain with a single blow.

Damn it, ever since I came to this new world, I've either been getting beaten up or on my way to getting beaten up. Is this some kind of life-or-death situation?!

Yamato changed into ordinary clothes and put on a hood; she couldn't let anyone discover her whereabouts before leaving Wano Country.

Besides freedom, she had another dream.

"Loya, I want to become Oden!"

"Oden."

Loya gave Yamato a deep look.

It's time to come.

This girl is a few years older than him, but her terrible living environment prevented her mind from developing normally, making her not much better than a child.

Kids who are obsessed with celebrities are the hardest to deal with.

Loya spoke calmly: "I've heard of Kozuki Oden."

"Loya, do you like Oden too?"

Yamato looked pleasantly surprised.

That expression was exactly like that of a child who's a fan of a celebrity.

Loya shook his head.

"No, I hate him."

"what?!"

Yamato froze, feeling as if an arrow had pierced his heart.

How can you be happy when someone you admire is rejected?

Loya asked, "Yamato, you said you want to become Oden, so I want to ask you, what is it about Oden that you like?"

"I want to go on adventures as freely as Oden!"

Yamato answered without hesitation.

She took out the tattered diary from her bosom and held it in her hands like a treasure. The words "Oden" were faintly visible on the surface of the diary.

Oden's thrilling adventures filled her with excitement.

"That's not a valid reason."

Loya shook his head in denial: "If you just want the freedom to adventure, you don't need to become Oden to do it. Oden has his adventures, and you have yours."

"."

Yamato blinked.

Thinking about it carefully, that's definitely true.

Ah, no, no!

Yamato shook his head and puffed out his cheeks: "Oden was a true samurai. Fifteen years ago, a shocking event occurred in the Flower Capital that stunned Wano Country!"

The boiling punishment, the legendary one hour.

Yamato's eyes lit up as she recounted the scene she witnessed: "Kozuki Oden was the most outstanding samurai. I will never forget the way he bravely faced death that day."

"I see."

Loya nodded slowly.

To be honest, he couldn't quite understand Yamato's way of thinking.

If Oden had no power to resist, he would have respected Oden as a true man.

According to Yamato's description, Oden and his nine retainers not only had the strength to break free of their chains, but also the formidable stamina to endure being boiled in oil for an hour.

Whether it was fighting Kaido again or escaping the execution ground to regroup, Oden could have done either, but he chose to surrender and pin his hopes on twenty years later.

Isn't this just a complete coward?

But judging from Yamato's fangirl demeanor, that explanation probably doesn't make sense.

"We've reached the shore."

Loya pointed forward.

The coastline of Jiuli has come into view.

"Let's go, I'll show you around Wano Country now."

Soon, the group returned to Bianli Village.

Seeing their rescued family members, the villagers of Bianli Village wept with joy; they had never had any hope at all.

The Spade Pirates stayed in Amigasa Village to rest and regroup.

Loya took Yamato for a walk around the village, then quietly left to visit other villages and towns.

Nine miles, rabbit bowl, white dance.

After a full day's journey, the two crossed three rural areas and arrived at Caishen Town in Baiwu, where they stayed overnight at Lao Kang's house.

Night falls.

After a quick meal, the Kang family squeezed into the living room to rest, leaving the only bedroom for the two of them.

In the dim light of the night, the two lay on the tatami mats.

Loya rested his head on his hands.

How are you feeling today?

"very bad!"

Yamato, with his back to Loya, answered sullenly.

When she left Ghost Island, she was filled with anticipation for the adventure that was about to begin, but her fantasy was soon shattered by reality.

Poverty and hunger were rampant everywhere.

And there are countless ronin villains!

"It's not what I remember!"

Yamato sat up cross-legged in annoyance, wearing only underwear and a thin top, her figure barely concealed, but she didn't care about the issue of being exposed.

She can't sleep right now!

Before she was eight years old, her father did not restrict her freedom. At that time, she often followed the boat and went to play in various towns and villages.

In her distant memory, the people of Wano Country were not wealthy, but at least they had no problem having enough to eat.

But now everything has changed.

Loya also sat up, facing Yamato.

"Yamato, why do you think Wano Country has become like this?"

"Of course it's because of my father!"

Yamato gave a confident and justified reply.

It's all Father's fault!
