Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 397 Yamato, go become a stripper!

"I'm sure my words have touched your soul."

Storm looked at Yamato, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

It seems this guy isn't a completely hopeless idiot.

At least her brain still possesses the ability to think normally and distinguish right from wrong.

That would be wonderful.

Storm didn't want to have a clueless, brainless fan of Kozuki Oden by his side.

Yamato lowered his head, almost burying his face in his chest, his exposed skin blushing with shame.

Recommending an idol to a benefactor resulted in the benefactor shattering the idol's perfect image...

Family members, who understands this feeling?

Yamato's chest heaved violently a few times. She struggled to lift her head and said earnestly.

"Things got much better after that—Lord Oden wasn't born perfect either. Although he was somewhat dissolute and unruly in his youth, he eventually grew into a wise ruler of Wano Country."

Storm twitched the corner of his mouth.

Is this the legendary "fangirl"?

But for some reason, I feel that the purity of Yamato is not as high as before. What's going on?

Storm put aside his distracting thoughts and did not respond to Yamato's words defending his idol, focusing his attention once again on the nautical log in his hands.

Just as Yamato said, Kozuki Oden did indeed become a bit more reliable later on.

Suppressing mountain bandits, gathering refugees, recruiting subordinates, maintaining order, reclaiming farmland, and constructing water conservancy projects—

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

Kozuki Sukiyaki, who was the shogun of Wano Country at the time, named Kozuki Oden the daimyo of the Kuri region because of his outstanding performance.

Then·--·

Kozuki Oden abandoned his country and people and went to sea to become a pirate.

Ok.

A subtle expression appeared on Storm's face again.

Seeing this, Yamato, who never learns from her mistakes, came over again and started praising her idol once more.

"How was it? Prince Oden was quite impressive, wasn't he? After governing the country well, he pursued his dream of freedom..."

He resolutely chose to set sail and become a pirate!

Storm couldn't understand Yamato's thought process. "Is this something to be praised for?"

"Isn't that right? Men who pursue freedom are the coolest!" A familiar light shone in Yamato's eyes.

"Oh, so in the name of freedom, you can just abandon your own people?"

Storm looked at Yamato with a half-smile, and casually stabbed her in the back.

"That's true, after all, you are Kaido's daughter."

"You should definitely be happy about this."

"If Kozuki Oden hadn't irresponsibly abandoned Wano Country, how could the Beasts Pirates have been able to conquer it?"

Honestly.

If Kozuki Oden hadn't chosen to go to sea, but instead had contentedly served as the guardian deity of Wano Country...

Then none of the tragic events that followed in Wano Country would happen.

so.

Storm still holds a certain view.

The reason why Wano Country has suffered such a fate is entirely its own fault!

Upon hearing Storm's words, Yamato was stunned once again.

After a long while, she came to her senses and waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, no! I'm not happy because I'm Kaido's daughter! Prince Oden isn't irresponsible either—"

one"

"Then what is he?"

Storm interrupted Yamato.

"A daimyo abandoned his country and people to become a pirate."

"What kind of behavior is this?"

Storm is not trying to smear Kozuki Oden.

He was simply recounting what Kozuki Oden had done.

Yamato opened his mouth, but couldn't find anything to refute.

As Storm continued to read Kozuki Oden's nautical notes.

In Yamato's mind, the perfect idol image gradually crumbled.

"...The really exciting part is about to begin!"

Yamato didn't want to discuss "responsibility" with Storm, so he directly used the tactic of changing the subject.

"Lord Oden, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Roger Pirates sailed freely on the sea together!"

"The world's strongest man, Whitebeard!"

"The Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!"

"What a legendary figure he was, what an exciting adventure!"

Storm did not deny Yamato's words.

Leaving aside the issue of political stance.

Storm still approves of Roger and Whitebeard.

Kozuki Oden's nautical notes clearly record his voyages with two pirate crews.

Storm began to read this section carefully.

This is a true "ship's log"!

Kozuki Oden initially sailed the New World with the Whitebeard Pirates until he was "recruited" by Roger, after which he joined the Roger Pirates to explore the secrets of the world.

Some truly useful intelligence information was also subsequently revealed.

The arm is like the location of the historical text of the four road signs.

One piece, in the Sea Forest of Fishman Island;

A piece, Zou on the back of elephant Zulu;

One piece, in the treasure room of Totland;

One piece, in the underground city of Wano Country.

Kozuki Oden clearly recorded in his nautical log the experience of Roger's pirate crew discovering the four red Road Poneglyphs.

It's not just that.

Kozuki Oden also recorded information about the Ancient Weapons in his nautical log.

The most detailed description is of the legendary, extremely evil warship, [Pluto].

Storm already knew that the location of [Pluto] was hidden in Wano Country.

To be precise, [Pluto] is hidden beneath the Fujiyama mountain range in Wano Country.

This point was not mentioned by Kozuki Oden in his nautical log.

Kozuki Oden only mentioned in his notes that "the Ancient Weapon [Pluton] sleeps deep within the land of Wano Country."

To obtain this legendary and extremely dangerous warship, one must break through the external barriers of Wano Country, that is, open Wano Country to the world.

The present-day Wano Country is a semi-feudal, semi-colonial country that is closed off from the world.

Expelling foreign invaders and opening the country's doors is the dream of countless residents of Wano Country.

Storm declined to comment.

He doesn't care about the residents of Wano Country, only about the ancient weapon [Pluto].

Discovering and excavating ancient weapons definitely requires professionals—later, I'll find an opportunity to bring Robin and Vegapunk to Wano Country—yes, that's decided!

Storm silently added taking down [Pluto, the King of Hades] to his future plans.

He then continued to peruse his nautical logbook.

In Kozuki Oden's nautical log, some knowledge and information that were also "novel" to Storm were also recorded.

For example, intelligence about Elbaf, the "world's strongest nation".

Kingdom of Giants, Adam the Tree, Underworld, God Worship—

Storm has not yet been to Elbaf, but through Kozuki Oden's nautical log, he has still glimpsed some of the splendor of the world's number one superpower.

I remember making a promise with Robin to go to Elbaf and meet Haguval D. Saul—we'll find another opportunity later.

Storm also has considerable interest in Elbaf.

He had done some things before, such as rescuing the Red Oni Brogy and the Blue Oni Dorry, in order to establish a good alliance with Elbaf in advance.

Unfortunately, he never had the opportunity to visit Elbaf in person.

Storm turned the page on Elbaf and continued reading.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Next, Kozuki Oden's logbook should record the final island, Laugh Tale!

however.

Storm looked at the few lines of text recorded in the nautical log.

If he remembered correctly, Yamato had just repeated those lines of text.

It was Kozuki Oden praising Joey Boy.

In addition, there is a cryptic statement.

"On that day, we learned everything about the world."

"What is the Void Century? — What is the D Clan? — What are the Ancient Weapons? — Wano Country, which was connected to the world in the past — and the Great Treasure hidden on the final island."

No.

That's it?

Storm flipped through a few more pages in disbelief and found that it had already covered the story after Kozuki Oden returned to Wano Country.

This is outrageous!

Storm slammed the nautical logbook he was holding onto the banquet hall floor.

He had just forced himself to suppress his nausea as he read Kozuki Oden's nautical log, hoping to uncover the secrets hidden on the final island, Laugh Tale.

The result was completely unexpected—...

That guy, Kozuki Oden, even wanted to be a riddle teller in his nautical log!

Storm was disgusted on the spot.

First of all, he didn't really want to read the secrets of Laugh Tale from Kozuki Oden's nautical log. Secondly, Kozuki Oden was a disgusting monster!

If Storm really wanted to "cheat".

Rayleigh, who is currently "residing" in the Void Prison, is the best source of intelligence.

Under the influence of the nine-star Observation Haki, which allows him to "hear the voice of all things," Rayleigh's brain...

It is completely open to Storm.

Kozuki Oden, a truly disgusting person.

"No!!!"

As Yamato watched as Storm threw her "Bible" onto the floor like trash, she couldn't help but let out a bloodcurdling wail.

"my darling!"

After a careful inspection, Yamato breathed a sigh of relief when she found that her precious nautical logbook had not been seriously damaged.

"My benefactor! Even if you are my benefactor! I'm still angry that you treat Lord Oden's diary like this!"

Storm openly insulted her idol in front of her brainless fan, saying, "Kozuki Oden was a complete bastard!"

The idiot's aggression is still too low.

As for Kozuki Oden, ** was indeed more suitable.

"benefactor!"

Yamato stared wide-eyed at Storm, his face puffed out in anger.

"I won't allow you to speak of Prince Oden like that! He went through countless hardships to protect the country, and in the end, he paid the ultimate price!"

Storm tried to hold it in, but finally couldn't and gagged twice.

Then.

Storm wiped his mouth, stared at Yamato, and said in a low voice.

"You really want to become Kozuki Oden?"

Yamato's beastly instincts almost instinctively sensed something was wrong; she felt an immense malice emanating from her benefactor.

But when faced with this question, even if asked a hundred or a thousand times, Yamato would still give a firm answer.

"That's right! I want to be the man who becomes Kozuki Oden!"

"Then you should know—"

"Stromb said calmly."

"Kozuki Oden danced in the Flower Capital for five years, didn't he?"

Yamato's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously swallowed.

Then Storm continued.
