One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Character Notes: Kin'emon, the leader of the Nine Red Scabbards of Wano Country, is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user.

The surname Kozuki was revealed through a light screen, and some remnants of the old era on the high seas recalled the powerful samurai named Kozuki Oden.

Chapter 104 Oden's Son

"Momonosuke is just like his father Oden, they're practically cut from the same mold."

When Edward Newgate, with his white beard, saw the news on the screen, he smiled with satisfaction, holding his wine bowl. This was the best news he had heard in years.

“Dad, if you do the math, Momonosuke’s age doesn’t match up. He should be an adult by now,” Marco noticed the discrepancy.

Kozuki Momonosuke was born on Whitebeard's ship 28 years ago. The Whitebeard Pirates had all seen what he looked like as a child. However, the image shown on the screen now shows him as a child who is not yet 20 years old. This is a serious discrepancy in time. What could be the reason behind this? Perhaps the answer will be revealed behind the screen.

When Whitebeard got old, he often reminisced about the past. He defeated the challenger Kozuki Oden, but it was a pity that he didn't recognize him as his son. Later, he was borrowed by the Pirate King Roger for a period of time and helped him reach the final island, Laugh Tale.

Afterwards, Kozuki Oden returned to Wano Country with his wife and children. That closed country was closed to the outside world. The next news that came out was the death of this samurai. This unbelievable news was initially not believed by anyone in the Whitebeard Pirates.

Whitebeard confronted his former subordinate Kaido about the exact circumstances of Oden's death, only to be told that a samurai had been betrayed and killed by his subordinate Orochi. If you believe that, you're not Edward Newgate.

But after it was confirmed that Oden and his wife were dead, their two children disappeared without a trace. In addition, Wano Country's terrain was too easy to defend and difficult to attack. Whitebeard knew that if he wanted to land on this island, his sons who followed him would have to make huge sacrifices. Since they were already dead, he had no choice but to give up. Not being able to avenge the samurai was his regret for many years.

"Oden's wife is a woman of mysterious origin. Perhaps Momonosuke's presence outside of Wano Country alive is due to this woman."

On the ship, the white-bearded adopted sons gathered together, analyzing and discussing the mystery of time surrounding Kozuki Momonosuke with great insight, while their adoptive father was thinking about something else entirely.

"I remember that brat Kaido ate the Fish-Fish Fruit given to him by Big Big Wolf. One was a blue dragon and the other a red dragon. It's amazing that two Mythical Zoan types of Fish-Fish Fruits could appear at the same time. This world is truly wondrous."

Whitebeard, having come to terms with it, felt a slight regret. The future Kozuki Momonosuke would likely follow the same path of training as Kaido, but unfortunately, no one would inherit Kozuki Oden's swordsmanship.

The man chose to temporarily forget these things and shouted to his sons, "Sons, let's have a feast! For Kozuki Oden, for Kozuki Momonosuke who survived, let's celebrate for them!"

The white-bearded father's call was met with enthusiastic cheers from his sons. Nothing was more important than a feast. If they felt bad about their troubles, they would have another feast if one wasn't enough, until they could forget all their worries with wine.

The harmonious scene of the Whitebeard Pirates, when viewed in the present moment by Kin'emon, is replaced by a look of utter despair, his mood as bad as could be.

Kanjuro, one of the Nine Red Scabbards, was captured in Dressrosa. This retainer also lost the shogun's son and was wandering aimlessly on the sea. He didn't know where to look for eight-year-old Momonosuke.

"Lord Light Curtain, please reveal more information! Let me know where Prince Momonosuke is. I'm so worried!" Kin'emon could only complain to the Light Curtain.

He could only contact Kozuki Momonosuke through the chat room after the Dressrosa event on the screen had finished playing. This retainer knew very well that the shogun's son was not as powerful as he appeared on the screen.

It's a mystery how His Highness has trained his physique over the past five years. He withstood a kick from Armament Haki without any damage, and his Devil Fruit ability is described as a Mythical Zoan type, Red Dragon form. This is the same top-tier Devil Fruit that Kaido ate. How did His Highness Momonosuke obtain it? All of this remains a mystery.

As for where that lecherous brat is hiding now? He's in a dark, dusty junkyard, unable to receive any outside information. The eight-year-old thief is lying dormant in the experimental waste.

--split line--

Kozuki Momonosuke's retainer apologized to the woman who had been harassed. The prince he was currently following was impeccable in every way, except for one flaw: he couldn't control his groin.

He falls for every woman he sees, using every means to get beautiful women into bed, and then leaves all the cleanup to Kin'emon.

"Hehe, Kin'emon has caused you trouble again. Let's go with these beauties too. They've been taking good care of me." In front of his retainers, Momonosuke began flirting with the woman in his arms again, his hands no longer satisfied with just entering the woman's neckline, and now probing down to her lower body.

The two beauties, blushing with embarrassment, kept begging the young man for forgiveness, saying that they shouldn't do their intimate things in the street, and that the three of them could have a happy day back inside.

Lord Momonosuke couldn't control his desire for women. Kin'emon could only shake his head helplessly. When the shogun's son discussed physiological knowledge with women, he didn't deliberately avoid his retainers. Every time, he made the leader of the Nine Red Scabbards look embarrassed. In his outrageous behavior, the shogun was even more outrageous than Kozuki Oden.

Nami thought about it and reluctantly accepted the sincere apology from the other party's subordinate. She really didn't want to have anything to do with Kozuki Momonosuke anymore. "Sanji, let's go. My good mood has been ruined. Make me some dessert when we get back to the Sunny."

Fearing trouble in Dressrosa, if it were any other time, even if Sanji were to risk his life, he would still try to save face for Nami, and anyone who harassed her would never have a good ending, receiving a few rounds of his transvestite kicks.

The transvestite Sanji, with his delicate fingers, wholeheartedly agreed with his sisters: "I feel nauseous when I see lecherous men. Their sleazy appearance might give me nightmares tonight. Those disgusting men are really repulsive."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two crew members of the Straw Hat crew felt as if the temperature around them had dropped several degrees. The originally harmonious and friendly scene was forcefully dispelled by a terrifying aura.

Kozuki Momonosuke's demeanor underwent a complete transformation. His previously lecherous and cheeky expression was replaced by a cold and ruthless face. The two women in his arms, who had never seen this side of the young man before, buried their faces in his chest and trembled.

He asked, each word firm and clear: "You two want to go back to the Sunny, also known as the Thousand Sunny, right? What is your relationship with Straw Hat Luffy? I only want to hear the truth today."

A terrifying aura, emanating from the boy, surged forth from crimson and black lightning. It was the Conqueror's Haki, a power unmatched by any other in a million. This fierce aura spread outwards, and everyone on the main road experienced it firsthand. The weak didn't even have a choice in how they died.

One by one, pedestrians foamed at the mouth. Men, women, young and old all fell to the ground without any surprise under this aura. This terrifying Conqueror's Haki was enough to kill ordinary people in one move, and those with fragile minds were scared to death on the spot.

The screen showed at least tens of thousands of people being wiped out instantly. Appearances can be deceiving; even this lecherous fellow possessed such powerful Conqueror's Haki.

Chapter 105 Way of greeting

The iconic red and black lightning appeared on a boy who was not yet twenty years old. The ferocious aura of Conqueror's Haki caused ordinary people who did not possess Haki to fall at his feet.

Kin'emon, radiating the Conqueror's Haki of the Shogun's son, had his hat, which had been covering his head, blown off. He was now trying to stop the capricious patriarch: "Lord Momonosuke, please don't be angry. This will implicate too many innocent people."

Sanji and Nami stared in horror at the black-haired boy in front of them. His lecherous and scumbag image just now was the best disguise. They had only seen this level of Conqueror's Haki in Luffy.

Captain Luffy used Conqueror's Haki and instantly killed tens of thousands of fishman soldiers on Fishman Island with a blink of his eye. The opponent's move could be considered equally powerful. On the main street, apart from a few people who knew Haki and were trembling in fear, all the pedestrians on the street were foaming at the mouth and lying on the ground, enjoying the experience of sleeping on the street.

Nami is holding her pet dog, Little Beelzebub, which ate the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit and has all three types of Haki. It can share its Haki with its owner, so the navigator doesn't need to train her Haki and won't be instantly defeated by Conqueror's Haki in battle.

Sanji, the transvestite, knows two basic forms of Haki. Since becoming an apprentice, he finds Haki too crude and has learned more techniques to control his aura. He looks down on Haki other than Conqueror's Haki.

"Where did Luffy get his hands on? Even this brat has the potential to be a king, it's truly outrageous!"

"Nami-chan, now is not the time to complain. First, find out what he wants with Luffy. If it's really an enemy coming to our door, then we can't let him get near our ship."

After five years of training, the chef felt he had the strength to fight. He didn't believe that this kid named Kozuki Momonosuke really had the strength to rival a Shichibukai.

As the son of the shogun, Kozuki Momonosuke was the heir to the throne after Kozuki Oden's death. He was the one to whom the Nine Red Scabbards had to be loyal. The retainers could only advise the patriarch when he made mistakes. The concept of the relationship between ruler and subject was deeply ingrained in the minds of the samurai of Wano Country.

"Kin'emon, I am the future Shogun of Wano Country. Right now, I just want to know their relationship with Luffy. Even if Doflamingo comes in person, he can't stop me. So what's your answer?"

After using his Conqueror's Haki to completely clear the area and send away all irrelevant people, Momonosuke suppressed his terrifying aura. The oppressive feeling emanating from him after he restrained his aura made Sanji, the transvestite most sensitive to auras, feel as if an ancient ferocious beast was standing in front of him.

Nami broke out in a cold sweat as it brought back unpleasant memories. "This guy reminds me of Admiral Kizaru. Are there really this many monsters in the second half of the Grand Line?"

"He's not a reasonable guy. Nami, if we start fighting, you use your Devil Fruit powers to run away first. I'll hold him off by myself." Sanji, the transvestite, adopted an offensive stance, ready to unleash all the skills he had learned in the past five years on this stinky man named Kozuki Momonosuke.

The instigator of this mess, seeing that the beautiful lady and the perverted transvestite had no intention of answering, decided that since they didn't want to be polite, Momonosuke Kozuki wouldn't hold back. "Is this your answer? Very well, I hope your bodies will be as hard as your mouths in a moment."

The samurai drew his sword. "Although I don't like fighting with a sword, this sword left by my late father will suffice to deal with you two." Armament Haki wrapped from the hilt to the blade, turning the famous sword into an indestructible black blade state.

Item description: Great Grade Sword No. 21 - Ame no Habakiri

The general's son has even drawn his famous sword; there's no way he'll let this go today. As a dutiful subject, Kin'emon, having suffered a setback, has done his part in offering advice. Since his lord is determined to take action, as a retainer, he has no choice but to stand on the side of the Kozuki family.

Just as tensions were running high, a male voice came from around the corner, shouting two words that everyone present could hear: "Peach?"

Straw Hat Luffy was seen running quickly towards Nami and Sanji, followed by Usopp. This man was completely oblivious to the atmosphere.

"You idiot, don't come any closer! If you want to fight, don't drag us into it!"

"Did you even hear me?"

When Momonosuke finally met Luffy, he didn't make any unnecessary movements after Luffy appeared, and his aura began to recede.

However, Nami and Momonosuke soon witnessed a comical scene: the famous sword slipped from Momonosuke's hand, and his originally cold demeanor towards enemies turned into an excited expression of crying bitterly, a complete reversal of his true nature.

"Luffy-senpai, I miss you so much!"

Momonosuke shoved aside the transvestite Sanji blocking his way and excitedly ran towards Luffy with his arms outstretched. However, what greeted him was his senior's enormous slippers. "Momonosuke, I really missed you too."

The slippers, imbued with Armament Haki and empowered by the Power-Power Fruit, struck Kozuki Momonosuke squarely in the face. This time, the lecherous brat's face contorted in pain, and after being fully impacted, he was sent flying, crashing headfirst into the flower shop behind him.

"Lord Momonosuke!!!"

As Kin'emon picked up the Ame no Habakiri, he called out the prince's name from outside the smoke and dust. The shogun's son had really taken a heavy hit.

The two seem to be good friends, but Captain Luffy kicked one of them right away. Is their relationship good or bad? It's baffling Sanji and Nami. I just don't understand.

"Luffy-senpai, you really went all out! You almost broke my handsome face!" Kozuki Momonosuke emerged from the ruins of the flower shop. Luffy's attack only left two slipper marks on his face. His terrifying physical abilities meant that ordinary attacks couldn't cause him any real damage.

Just when everyone thought it was all over, Momonosuke's figure appeared in front of Luffy in the blink of an eye, and his fist, imbued with Armament Haki, aimed at the Straw Hat Luffy's chin and delivered a powerful uppercut.

The Wano Country samurai didn't hold back either, sending the rubber man flying into the air. His straw hat flew off, but he managed to reach out and retrieve it. The punch sent him at least ten meters into the air.

While in mid-air, Luffy found his landing spot and, by sheer coincidence, landed on Kozuki Momonosuke's neck, cradling the boy's large head in his arms and laughing wildly on him. The Straw Hat Luffy was genuinely overjoyed to see his friend again.

"Momoko, I didn't expect to see you here. Didn't you say you were going back to Wano Country?"

Kozuki Momonosuke wiped his nose with his hand, tears welling up in his eyes. The reunion with his training partner filled him with mixed feelings. He really missed the time when they grew stronger together. "Don't even mention it. I fought Kaido ten times. Every time I did sit-ups before fighting again, I was still no match for him. He's more monstrous than a monster."

Seeing the two grown men embracing intimately, Nami understood that this was probably their unique way of greeting each other.

Chapter 106 The Real Monster

Having caused such a huge incident on Dressrosa Island, now is not the time to build rapport. Since most of the witnesses have been taken down, the Straw Hat crew, along with two samurai, prepare to flee in fear of punishment.

"Legs are too slow, let's fly, like a sonic cloud."

Navigator Nami used her Devil Fruit power to create a giant white cloud out of thin air, and at her signal, everyone sat on it. "It's going a bit fast, so hold on tight."

"Is he fast?"

Momonosuke gripped the cloud with both hands. He didn't believe it could make him any faster; it was just a way to conserve energy. He was confident that he could outrun his opponent on the ground.

The transvestite Sanji sat behind Nami and kindly reminded Luffy's friend, who had never seen the world, "It's your first time riding this, be careful not to get thrown off the cloud. I unfortunately fell off on Fishman Island."

"We'll hold on tight..."

Before Kin'emon could finish speaking, the sonic boom cloud's instantaneous acceleration exceeded the speed of sound, leaving a terrifying sonic boom in the entire space. The tourists, who had been stunned by Conqueror's Haki, were then directly awakened by the extremely high decibels. By the time they woke up, the Straw Hat crew had already flown far away on the cloud.

Luffy: "Wow...wow..."

Momonosuke: "So...so good..."

Usopp: "Ah...ah...slower..."

Kin'emon: "Ah...ah...Mom..."

Four grown men were shouting and yelling, while Nami and Sanji remained elegant on the sonic boom cloud. In less than two minutes, the Thousand Sunny appeared before them, a speed that most people couldn't match in an instant.
