Chapter 282 : Yamato!!

[Sure enough, as the scene unfolded, when the Big Mom Pirates plunged into the sea...]

[Once again, figures materialized behind Marco, among them the captain from Wano!]

[Alongside them stood remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and a retinue of their own!]

[Aware that this mission offered the sole opportunity to topple Kaido, they committed to joining the fray in Wano!]

[For Marco, idle days left him open to the call, offering what strength he could to his comrades. Facing Kaido's might, every bit counted.]

[An additional ace up their sleeve, complicating the alliance between the two powerhouses!]

[Even with Luffy and company, the odds seemed daunting.]

["Luffy, brother of Ace, let me lend a hand."]

[Marco gazed into the distance, a trademark smile etched upon his face.]

In witnessing this unfolding, countless viewers finally grasped...

Marco's journey to Wano wasn't merely about aiding Luffy or responding to Ace's plight.

Among the Whitebeard Pirates' remnants stood a captain native to Wano, a retainer of Kozuki Oden.

Everything fell into place...

Excitement rippled through the crowd, for there was no doubt about the prowess of Marco and his cohorts.

As the former right-hand man of one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, Marco stood as a titan, rivaling even the Emperors themselves!

With their involvement, the odds of Luffy and his comrades' plan to strike at Kaido's forces would undoubtedly soar.

Things were finally looking up.

All those watching couldn't help but rejoice for Luffy...

[At this pivotal moment, the live broadcast continued, shifting its focus to Onigashima, where Luffy's group was!]

[Upon entering Onigashima, Luffy and the others couldn't contain their excitement and immediately clashed with Kaido's henchmen!]

[In no time, Luffy dispatched all the minions with his formidable strength, appearing almost unstoppable!]

[He laid waste to anyone in his path, sending dozens flying with a single punch, no one able to impede his rampage!]

[However, just as he charged ahead, two unexpected guests emerged...]

[They were Kaido's subordinates, among the elite cadre known as the Tobi Roppo, second only to the Three All-Star!]

[The two transformed into dinosaur forms and engaged Luffy in combat!]

[It must be noted, the Tobi Roppo were formidable opponents!]

[Even with Luffy's exceptional combat skills, he found himself ensnared by the duo, struggling to break free and even facing moments of peril!]

[In this dire moment, a mysterious figure donning a mask suddenly intervened!]

[With just two swift maneuvers, he repelled Tobi Roppo, then swiftly scooped up Luffy and bolted away.]

[While this masked savior averted Luffy's immediate crisis, Luffy couldn't help but harbor suspicions about his identity.]

[After entering Onigashima this time, he've seen all my accomplices here.]

[And this person is mysterious. What if he's someone from Kaido's crew?]

[Finally, after Luffy's persistent questioning, the two retreated into the shadows and revealed their cards to each other.]

[The mysterious figure removed his mask and revealed his true identity to Luffy.]

["My name is Yamato. I am Kaido's son, and I aspire to become Kozuki Oden!"]

["Please allow me to join you in defeating Kaido!"]

The onlookers were dumbfounded by this revelation...

They never imagined that the enigmatic figure who had saved Luffy was actually Kaido's son?

Wait a minute... Isn't this person a girl?

In terms of appearance and demeanor, they hardly resemble a man at all!

Is she being raised as Kaido's son?

But that's not the main issue. What's more pressing is why, as a descendant of Kaido, does she aspire to be like Kozuki Oden?

Wanting to ally with Luffy to take down Kaido?

What a turncoat! 

Everyone was bewildered, gazing at the sky, momentarily at a loss...

Indeed, the arrival of this mysterious figure brought about a plethora of shocks!

Only a handful of influential individuals knew that this was someone influenced by Kozuki Oden...

Given Kaido's brutal nature and his relentless persecution of Wano, for them to forsake their lineage and join forces with Luffy and the others is truly commendable! 

Many influential figures expressed their admiration for Yamato's actions...

Being a descendant of Kaido, she remained unaffected by Kaido's brutal nature.

Yet, her resolve to become a true samurai remained unyielding. How could she allow disrespect?

However, amidst the respect and admiration from others, doubts lingered.

Among the multitude witnessing the live broadcast, only Kaido seethed with rage...

Onigashima!

"Treason! This is blatant treason!!!" Kaido bellowed, his fury unleashed as he glared at his son's visage in the image.

The mere thought of Kozuki Oden's revered countenance incited in him a desire to crush it with his bare hands!
