Father-in-law Kaido, Monster Cells Create the Strongest Beast

The importance of my father is far greater than that of Kozuki Oden!

Not to mention,

Add Ace and Thatch to the mix!

Aren’t Dad, Ace, and Thatch not as good as Kozuki Oden?

Joz's question left everyone speechless.

Even Yi Zang, who was the most ardent opponent, just blushed and had nothing to refute.

Joz continued:

"Oden died fighting for his country, and he never asked us for help in the years before his death."

"His defeat to Kaido was actually a fair fight between pirates, and it's extremely common in this sea."

Kozuki Oden did not return to Wano Country and be killed by Kaido and Orochi soon after.

He actually lived for several more years.

however,

Faced with the powerful enemy Kaido, Oden did not choose to ask for help from Whitebeard or Roger.

This means that Oden wants to fight Kaido alone.

To outsiders,

This is a fair one-on-one fight between pirates.

Then it is indeed normal for Oden to die because of this.

On the sea.

There are pirates dying in such duels every moment.

Yi Zang couldn't help but say:

"But Lord Oden was killed by Kaido and Orochi using despicable means. It wasn't a completely fair duel!"

Izo, a retainer of Oden,

I had already learned the whole process of Kozuki Oden's death from Cat Viper and Inuarashi.

Including the years when Oden was deceived by Orochi and performed the Fruit Dance.

The captains of the Bai team already knew about these things.

Qiao Zi said:

"It's true that Oden's defeat was due to distraction, but..."

Qiao Zi paused, and finally spoke out what he had been holding back for more than ten years.

"I'll tell you the truth. A large part of Oden's death was due to his own stupidity!"

"Why is he so naive to believe Kurozumi Orochi's lies?"

"Why didn't he ask us for help when he was in dire straits? Didn't he consider us his companions?"

Yi Zang was immediately furious and stared at Qiao Zi fiercely:

"You...you, how dare you say that about Lord Oden! You actually said Lord Oden is stupid?!"

Any normal person can see how stupid Oden is.

Since Qiao Zi had spoken his true feelings, he stopped pretending and said directly:

"Yizang, don't think that what I said is harsh, it is obvious. ........."

"If you don't believe me, ask Marco, Vista, and the other captains, do they think Oden's actions were unwise?"

Izo immediately looked at Marco, Vista and the others.

"You, do you all think that Lord Oden is stupid?"

The expressions on the captains' faces immediately became somewhat awkward.

They secretly discussed Oden's death without telling Izou.

A consensus was reached.

Just as Joz just said.

Oden's tragic ending was largely due to his own stupidity.

If he had been smart enough to send a message for help to the White or Roger groups,

Wano Country would never become what it is now.

Although no one said anything, it was clear that they agreed.

Yi Zang was extremely angry, he gritted his teeth and wanted to say something harsh.

But in the end, he gave up helplessly.

In fact.

Didn't he himself think that Lord Oden was really, really out of his mind?

After all, Yi Zang was a companion who had been together for decades, and Qiao Zi couldn't bear to hurt Yi Zang too much.

He said comfortingly:

"No matter what the reason was, Oden died at the hands of Kaido after all. This hurdle cannot be overcome."

Izang was a little confused.

Didn't Joz say so much just to convince him and everyone else to join the Beast Pirates?

Why are you suddenly saying that Oden’s death is hard to accept?

"I mean--"

Joz explains:

　3.7 "We are not going to join Kaido, the King of Beasts, but only to the Five Emperors Luo Xing."

"From what I know, that's what Moonlight Moriah did."

Moria's former companions were all killed by Kaido, and he has a life-and-death feud with Kaido.

Moriah's surrender was only to Luo Xing, not to Kaido.

Moriah won't even go to Wano Country.

The captains suddenly realized.

So this is what Joz meant.

If he had just surrendered to the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, everyone would have been much more accepting.

Marco had even met Luo Xing once in Dressrosa.

I know that man is not as bad as Kaido.

in contrast,

It also gives people a gentle and elegant feeling.

Marco didn't object, and neither did Vista.

The other captains, who only wanted to avenge Whitebeard, agreed loudly.

That's how it was settled.

242. Toki's prediction, Momonosuke's fate, Luo Xing's phone call

Yi Zang felt like he was struck by lightning and his whole body became stiff.

Although Jozu said that he would not join Kaido, the King of Beasts, but only join the Five Emperors Luo Xing.

It is equivalent to removing Oden's hatred.

The other captains of the White Group can do the same.

But hiding is not allowed.

Because he is one of the Nine Red Scabbards, he is a retainer of the Kozuki clan, and he is born in the Land of Wano!

The wife of the Five Emperors Luo Xing must be the general of Wano Country today.

That should have been the position of power of the Kozuki clan.

Izo, who holds the beliefs of a samurai, does not want to be a traitor.

That is the greatest shame for a samurai.

"Now that you have made your decision, I wish you good luck."

Izo said in silence.

Turn around,

Walk out of the island.

Marco shouted:

"Izou, where are you going?"

Everyone understood that it was impossible for Yi Zang to make the same choice as them.

Therefore, they did not hide it reluctantly.

Just concerned about Izo's future.

Yi Zang said without turning his head:

"I will wait for Madam Shi's prediction. That day will come soon."

Say it.

Yi Zang's figure slowly disappeared into the sea in the distance.

"Mrs. Toki's prophecy? Is it Oden's wife, Toki Amatsuki, who once stayed on our ship?"

Bista asked 19 in confusion.
