Wano & Kozuki Oden

Sword God Ryuma asked, "Raftel? As far as I know, it is a legendary island. Does it really exist?"

Pirate King Roger replied triumphantly, "Of course it exists, and we found it."

Whitebeard was surprised and asked Sword God Ryuma, "How do you know about Raftel? As far as I know, Wano is a closed-door country."

Sword God Ryuma responded, "Wano is a closed country? Sure enough, the mindless idiots of the Kozuki clan still carried out such a stupid decision."

Pirate King Roger interjected, "The brainless idiots of the Kozuki family? Ryuma, are you really from Wano? The Kozuki family is the ruling family of Wano, and everyone in Wano admires them."

Sword God Ryuma replied, "The Kozuki family? I used to worship them too, until I left Wano and saw the outside world. I don't worship them like I used to."

He added, "I later found out that I could flatten the entire Wano by myself, and the worship of Shogun and daimyo completely disappeared."

Ethan chimed in, "I see. Does strength change their mentality? Indeed! Anyone who finds out that the person they admire can't beat them will change their mentality."

Sword God Ryuma responded, "It's not just a matter of strength, but also a matter of vision. The policy of shutting down the country was completely implemented after my death. I tried hard to stop it while I was alive, but the result still failed to change."

Pirate King Roger asked, "What do you mean? I don't know much about this history."

Sword God Ryuma explained, "Due to geographical reasons, Wano rarely has outsiders come in. But in the era when I lived, the rumor that Wano is the land of gold suddenly appeared on the sea."

He continued, "I left Wano to see the world and practice swordsmanship. And when I came back, I killed the pirates who had invaded Wano, but it was just a drop in the bucket. To completely solve Wano's troubles, the Kozuki family and I have completely opposite answers."

Sword God Ryuma then said, "I think Wano should go out to the world, but the Kozuki family believes that Wano should be closed off from the world. Unfortunately, although I have the power to slay dragons, I have not been able to completely change people of Wano's views."

Sword God Ryuma felt regretful about it.

Pirate King Roger consoled him by saying, "Don't be sorry, someone named Kozuki Oden has inherited your will."

Sword God Ryuma asked in surprise, " Did He succeeded?"

Pirate King Roger: "This... I died earlier, I don't know."

Whitebeard exclaimed, "It failed! Wano has been occupied by a group of pirates and the Shogun is now a member of the Kurozumi Family."

Pirate King Roger: "Nani? Impossible! Kozuki Oden is so powerful, how could he fail?"

Whitebeard: "I don't know, but Oden lost. Wano's current Shogun is Kurozumi Orochi, and the Beasts Pirates turned it into an arsenal."

Sword God Ryuma: "Hmph! Is it occupied by pirates? I knew that the isolation of the country brought a backward and decaying country, and sooner or later it would be occupied by foreign enemies."

Pirate King Roger: "Kaido of the Beasts? Impossible! That guy, how could he kill Oden? @Ethan, the almighty group owner, you know?"

Ethan: "I know!"

Pirate King Roger: "I know, you seem to know everything."

Sword God Ryuma: "Can you talk about it? I'm very curious!"

Ethan: "It's a long story..."

"Ding! Sword God Ryuma sent an exclusive red envelope [Observation Haki-Advanced]to the group owner Ethan!"

So sensible!

Ethan silently accepted the red envelope and organized his language: "The Kurozumi family was originally a famous family in Wano. Later, they were deprived of their identity because of a crime. The family members were very miserable in Wano."

Sword God Ryuma: "The Kurozumi family? I know.I was ambitious when I was alive, and it's normal to be knocked down. By the way, what did they do?"

Ethan: "They sought the position of Shogun Wano, and they failed!"

Sword God Ryuma: "Sure enough! These idiots don't have enough vision and strength, but they have a lot of thoughts in fighting for power and profit. Then what?"

Ethan said, "Although the Kurozumi family has fallen, there are still capable family members. Apart from Kurozumi Orochi, there is a person with the invincible Barrier Fruit ability and another with the Clone-Clone Fruit ability, which allows them to transform into anyone."

Whitebeard responded, "Barrier Fruit and Clone-Clone Fruit? I believe I have seen these two Devil Fruit powers before."

Pirate King Roger asked, "When did you see them?"

Whitebeard replied, "I saw these two Devil Fruit powers when I was with the Rocks Pirates. The users had the last name Kurozumi, but I don't know much about them. How did they manage to take control of Wano?"

Ethan explained, "Kurozumi Orochi joined forces with Kaido of the Beasts and took control of the Shogun's castle. The person with the Clone-Clone Fruit ability transformed into the former Shogun of Wano, who was Kozuki Oden's father. This imposter Oden's father was witnessed by everyone in Wano, and then passed on the position of Shogun to Kurozumi Orochi."

Sword God Ryuma remarked, "Is it really that simple? Just kidding! Did no one question how an outsider or someone who rebelled against the family could become the Shogun when there were descendants of the Kozuki family?"

Ethan replied, "There are people who doubt it, but there are also many who believe it. If you ask why, I can only say that Kozuki Oden did it himself."

Pirate King Roger laughed and said, "Hahaha! That Oden guy had a peculiar personality. He did a lot of things that made the people of Wano uncomfortable. His own father even exiled him..."

Sword God Ryuma asked, "So, is it understandable that Kozuki Oden didn't inherit the position of Shogun in the hearts of the people of Wano? Ridiculous! What happened later?"

Pirate King Roger added, "I'm also curious. How did Kozuki Oden get defeated? With his character, he definitely wouldn't have given in just because of an order from Shogun Wano."

Ethan answered, "Kaido of the Beasts and Kurozumi Orochi took many people hostage, and Kozuki Oden made a deal with them to save them."

Sword God Ryuma asked, "What deal did he make?"

Ethan replied, "Kozuki Oden agreed to dance under Kurozumi's tower once a week, and in exchange, Kurozumi would release 100 people. After five years, a ship would be built, and everyone would leave Wano."

Pirate King Roger asked, "Did Oden agree to this deal?"

Ethan confirmed, "Yes, he did!"

Sword God Ryuma commented bluntly, "That's stupid!"

Pirate King Roger retorted unhappily, "What do you mean, stupid? Kozuki Oden was affectionate and righteous!"

Sword God Ryuma countered, "Is there love and righteousness in this situation? If this was on the battlefield and the opponent captured him as a soldier, would he have raised his hand and surrendered? He was supposed to become the Shogun of Wano!"

Pirate King Roger then asked, "What happened to Shogun Wano?"

Ethan interrupted, "Enough! Ryuma is right. Kozuki Oden was truly foolish. After being a pirate for so long, he had forgotten his identity in Wano."

Sword God Ryuma reassured, "The group leader is still knowledgeable and can distinguish the changes in Kozuki Oden's identity. Roger! You don't understand the meaning of Kozuki Oden's identity, so you can only be a pirate."

Pirate King Roger asked, "What do you mean?"

Ethan explained, "You don't understand this? Where did you get the confidence to overthrow the World Government? Listen!"

"Kozuki Oden's identity on your ship is a pirate. He can be affectionate and righteous, he can go through fire and water for others, and he can do stupid things for the sake of a clear conscience. But in Wano, he is a member of the Kozuki clan, someone the people want to be Shogun Wano, someone who is loyal to the samurai, and a leader of a faction!"

Ethan continued, "As Ryuma said before, Kozuki Oden is like a general who leads troops to fight. When his soldiers are captured by the enemy, he negotiates with the enemy, not only agreeing to a truce, accepting the opponent's humiliation, but also agreeing to retreat. Just because the enemy has taken a few hostages, the revenge is lost, the face is lost, and even the country that was taken away by the enemy. Even voluntarily withdrawing is based on the enemy's kindness. Isn't that stupid enough?"

Pirate King Roger seemed to be lost in thought, while Ethan continued, "When I say this, you may not understand. To put it another way, @One PieceRoger@Whitebeard, you two should be the pirates who care about your companions the most. If the Marines catch one of your friends, and I ask you to end your friendship from now on to save them, will you agree?"

Pirate King Roger replied firmly, "Of course not! I will try to save them! If they die, I will kill the executioner and bury them with my friend!"

Whitebeard laughed heartily and said, "Gurarara! I don't agree. Are pirates really so easy to threaten?"

Ethan: "Well said! This is not the way of a pirate, but Kozuki Oden's approach is not a pirate way. Afraid of making sacrifice, he gave up fighting… This is a man who has experienced fighting since he was a child and has been at sea several times. Is this the idea that a pirate can have? He just lost his mind!"

Pirate King Roger: "Although I really want to refute you, I really have nothing to say."

Roger sighed in his heart, feeling helpless.

Oden!

It's not that I don't want to talk to you, I really can't explain it!

People like us who have killed countless people will have the idea of not wanting any casualties...

Didn't you also participate in the naval battle of Edd war?

We were at an absolute disadvantage at the time. I didn't agree to Golden Lion Shiki's solicitation, and we were likely to be wiped out.

But I still rejected Golden Lion, and at the risk of all my partners and myself being killed by him, I rejected him!

You understand my decision, why can't you make such a decision yourself?

No wonder you went from Whitebeard's boat to mine, and you're not a pirate. Because your courage and determination are not enough!

You don't have the courage to sacrifice others, you can't bear the weight of this power!
