Chapter 68 Guangyue Family
"Guangyue..."
Sakaski pondered for a moment. He didn’t know Kozuki Momonosuke, but he still had some impressions of Kozuki Oden:
"Kozuki Oden, is he the one who has been in both the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates? It is said that his strength is not bad."
"Yes, he is the one who became brothers with Whitebeard and finally witnessed Roger becoming the Pirate King."
Absalom nodded and began to introduce another level of Oden’s identity:
"Kozuki Oden is the son of the former general Kozuki Sukiyaki. He has been idle since he was a child. It can even be said that he does all kinds of evil. He only wants to go to sea."
"By the way, there is another interesting story."
Absalom always becomes more interested every time he mentions strange and interesting things:
"It is said that when Oden's friend died, he set up a sukiyaki pot on his friend's burning corpse. He ate happily, crying and laughing...cough, vomiting, I can't stand it."
At first he spoke quite smoothly, but in the end he made himself sick.
He really couldn't figure out how there could be such a weird person.
Even Luther and the others couldn't help but frown, and Robin quietly put down the refreshments in his hands.
"Ahem, I'm sorry to make you laugh, I'll continue..."
Absalom coughed twice guiltily, and then said:
"Due to a series of ridiculous things, Oden was cut off by Sukiyaki and the father-son relationship was severed, and he was exiled to the once chaotic place of Kuri."
"Before Oden came, Jiuli was extremely chaotic and bandits were rampant. It was not suitable for normal people to live at all. Every meeting was a fight. The village where we are located was once the residence of bandits."
"After Oden came, he used powerful force to rectify the place and turn it from chaos to order."
"Oh, yes, this is the only high-profile thing Oden did. But as far as I know, Oden didn't do anything except conquer by force."
"The samurai of Wano are relatively moral. Oden defeated them, so he took it upon himself to maintain the stability of Kuri."
"In my opinion, Kozuki Sukiyaki was paving the way for his son and did a lot of things secretly."
In order to cover up the embarrassment of almost spilling the beans, Absalom quickly jumped to the important part, and his tone turned to gloating:
"But I guess Kozuki Sukiyaki never imagined that his good son would run away with Whitebeard within a few years, and the position of general that should have belonged to him was also taken away by the black charcoal snake."
"When Oden came back, everyone thought it was the savior's return, but it turned out..."
Absalom originally wanted to give it a try, but feeling the oppressive gazes of several people, he quickly said with a dry smile:
"In the end, Oden went to the Flower City. Not only did he not get back his position as a general, but he returned to the Flower City regularly every week, took off his clothes and danced in public for more than four years.
The family’s prestige has almost been completely destroyed.”
"Is that so...what's going on with Momonosuke?"
Luther nodded. This information basically corroborated what he knew before.
As for Momonosuke, Moriah did not elaborate, and he was not particularly clear.
"Your Highness, Momonosuke is Kozuki Oden's son. With such a father, how good can your son be?"
Absalom curled his lips and said with a smile:
"It all started with a coincidence. One time I went to Oden's mansion to check for information, and I happened to see this guy spying on the maid taking a bath."
"Kozuki Oden is not very old, isn't he?"
Gion Liu frowned slightly and made some mental calculations.
"Not too old, Kozuki Oden is 39 years old, and Momonosuke is 8 years old this year."
Luther glanced at Gion, understood what the other party wanted to ask, and gave the answer directly.
"8 years old... hopeless."
Gion shook his head slightly and said nothing more.
"What happened next?"
Luther didn't care about Momonosuke's peeping, so he brought the topic back on track.
Absalom did not dare to hide it and quickly continued:
"Then I got to know him. He wanted to use my ability to spy, and I got some information through him."
Having said this, Absalom clicked his tongue:
"This kid is just a lustful person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! He is not as good as his father Kozuki Oden. At least his father is not a coward."
"Is that so? I know the general situation."
Luther nodded slightly, understanding what Moriah had been doing during this time.
The other party followed his instructions and was indeed lurking in Jiuli.
He even overfulfilled the task and even joined the line of Momonosuke.
With Moria's strength and fruit, no one except Kozuki Oden can find it if he wants to hide it.
And with Kozuki Oden's out-of-the-box personality, even if Moriah showed up in a big way, he wouldn't think much about it.
Not to mention that Kozuki Oden doesn’t come back every week because of dancing.
The matter of Kozuki Oden dancing naked...isn’t anything worthy of further investigation.
In the final analysis, Kozuki Oden was too stupid to believe what Kaido and Kurotan Orochi said.
Kaido and Kurotan Orochi threatened the people of Wano, and under the pretext of building a ship for Kaido, they made Kozuki Oden dance naked in public, releasing 100 people every time they danced, and they also set a five-year period.
There are only a few months left before this five-year period.
According to the agreement, Kaido will leave after five years after building the ship.
But in fact, only a fool like Kozuki Oden would place his hope on the enemy.
Without these five years of buffering, Kaido and Black Carbon Orochi would be no match for Kozuki Oden.
The reputation of the Kozuki clan in Wano is deeply rooted and cannot be shaken by Black Carbon Orochi and Kaido in the short term.
Speaking of which, it has to be Kozuki Oden. If he hadn't kept making a fool of himself in front of everyone, the reputation accumulated by the Kozuki family for hundreds of years would not have been lost so quickly, and Kaido and Black Carbon Orochi would not have been able to win over other people in Wano Country so easily.
.
Judging from the current situation, even if Kozuki Oden wakes up now, it is too late...
However, this is exactly what Luther wanted.
Kaido and he are both outsiders. Kaido will be the first to pick peaches, but he may not be the first to eat them.
After Absalom finished explaining, he left temporarily. He needed to prepare Wano costumes for Luther and others.
Wear outer clothes and you will be recognized quickly when walking in Wano Country.
"Sakaski, do you have any ideas?"
Seeing Sakaski staring at the sketch drawn by Absalom, Luther asked.
"Your Highness, I'm wondering if I can kill Kaido directly."
Sakaski looked solemn and pointed at the small circle next to the big circle:
"This is Kaido's home island, Ghost Island. I can launch a raid here."
"Then, even if you can beat Kaido, what will Kozuki Oden do?"
Luther smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but just asked this question.
Sakaski fell silent after hearing this.
He has faced many examples of kings turning into pirates, and each time they faced off, it was much more troublesome than a strong man acting alone.
Especially according to Absalom, the stronger samurai in Wano are all equipped with weapons, and many even use Ryuzakura.
Facing this level of national power, he and Gion are still slightly inadequate.
Moreover, given the geographical location of Wano, it is unrealistic to mobilize naval support.
"I understand." Sakaski said thoughtfully, "His Highness wants to wait for Kozuki Oden and Kaido to decide the final winner before closing the net."
"That's pretty much what I mean. Let's take a few days' rest to see the specific situation in this country, and then we can make specific plans."
Luther stretched his muscles, looked at the pile of information that Absalom took out on the table, pointed at the blue-haired strong man at the top and said with a smile:
"But I don't want to wait until the five-year agreement is over. If nothing else happens, I will operate on this person first."
The person pointed by Luther is named Hana No Hyogoro. He is a personal friend of Kozuki Oden and the boss who controls the underworld in the Flower City.
To put it simply, this is the only person in the Oden faction who is still powerful under Kaido's nose.
