The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

To you uncle!

Do you know what a hero my father is?

Just a pirate like you dare to insult him?

Momonosuke felt that he could no longer suppress his inner anger.

But at this moment, Jon waved his hand and asked Momonosuke to sit opposite him, "Don't worry, I know that Kozuki Oden is like a spiritual totem to the people of Wano Country, and no one can say anything bad about him.

But if you put aside those messy halos and look at his life with a relatively objective eye, you will understand that my evaluation is absolutely correct. "

Momonosuke: ...

Well, today I want to see how you can be relatively objective.

Momonosuke sat down opposite John with a huffy look on his face, his lips pouted high.

Jon was not annoyed, and talked about Kozuki Oden's life: "In the hearts of the general public in Wano Country, Kozuki Oden is synonymous with strength, people-friendliness, and personal charm. If you use your words, he is a 'hero'."

After hearing this, Momonosuke's expression finally looked better.

Yes, his father is a hero!

A hero who stands tall and proud!

But what Jon said next made his face darker and darker.

"But in my opinion, he is not worthy of the title of 'hero'."

"First, as a ruler, he chose the individual over the country, abandoned his own people, and traveled the world for the so-called dream and freedom. He was gone for many years. How the people under his rule lived was completely indifferent to him.

Honestly, I don't understand how such a selfish person can be loved by others. "

After a long reaction, Momonosuke stiffened his neck and retorted, "This is exactly the spirit of Lord Kozuki Oden. Whether it's facing Whitebeard or Pirate King Roger, he..."

Before he could finish his words, Jon interrupted him and said, "Don't make excuses for your own behavior. I know many rulers, like the red-nosed fishman who visited me on the island a few days ago. He was willing to lock his daughter in a tower for the sake of his country and his people. Is he just cold-blooded and heartless and has no courage?"

Momonosuke: ...

He had met the fish-man king Neptune several times before. He was a very kind person and he could feel that he was a pure good person. He couldn't slander such a good person.

Jon added: "Perhaps in your eyes, Kozuki Oden is a so-called 'great hero who serves his country and his people', but in fact, isn't he just a local thug who relies on his father's fame and status to do all kinds of evil?

Later, he fought violence against another group of scum and was elected as the daimyo, but he was unwilling to take responsibility and left a mess behind. "

Momonosuke fell silent again.

He never thought that his father's heroic deeds could be interpreted in this way.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense...

No, no.

He must have been brainwashed by John Joestar.

Momonosuke's eyes narrowed, "What do you think about Lord Kozuki Oden's later actions against Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido?"

This is truly for the country and the people, there is no way to criticize it.

"How dare you say that? If Oden had used his brain a little more and wasn't so stupid when facing Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi, so many weird things wouldn't have happened later."

Jon rolled his eyes, "You said that he passed by Wano Country more than once when he was adventuring with Roger's pirate group. He obviously noticed something was wrong. He only needed to get off the ship and take a look to understand what was happening in the country."

"With his strength, plus the support of all the members of Roger's pirate group, Kurozumi Orochi could never be a match for Kozuki Oden, but Kozuki Oden... he didn't take his own people seriously at all, and just passed by calmly."

"Maybe... maybe..." Momonosuke still wanted to explain his father's behavior, but in the face of the ironclad facts, any words seemed so pale and powerless.

Jon shook his head. "Let's put this aside for now and talk about what happened later. He didn't come back when his family had problems, but after he came back, he pretended to love the people like his own son. The key point is that the people of your country are really willing to forgive him. I really don't understand this."

"Because he's a hero." Momonosuke muttered softly.

"The monarch is offline, right?"

Jon curled his lips and said, "He is a very strange person, and the people of your country of Wano are also very strange. I can only say that I respect, bless and understand him."

Then he changed the subject, "Kozuki Oden is very powerful, I don't deny that, but his brain is really not good enough, please pay attention to my choice of words, it is really not good enough!"

Well, I'm back again.

The personal attacks began.

Momonosuke couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with it? You haven't explained it clearly even after talking for a long time."

"Look, he could have eliminated Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi's power in the bud, but he chose not to do so. He would rather act crazy and dance naked for a few years than to make contact with his old companions."

Jon showed a look of disappointment, "If it were me, I would call my neighbor Whitebeard for help and then call my boss Roger to grab weapons. By then, what would Kaido be? He would be Xiao Kai!"

Momonosuke: ...

That makes sense.

No, then why didn’t my father do that back then?

Before, he only regarded that humiliating experience as the humiliation that a hero had to endure during his low period, but he never thought deeply about whether there were other ways out of the predicament.

Kozuki Oden...his father was once a member of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates, so he should have a wide range of interpersonal relationships.

"Twenty years ago, Kaido didn't have the power he has now, and his personal strength was not worth mentioning at all."

Jon shook his head as he spoke. "He didn't take action when he should have, and chose to be a macho dancer, showing off his muscles on the street every day. When he shouldn't have taken action, he rushed forward, and then made a 20-year plan in the frying pan to impress himself."

He spread his hands and said, "You can judge for yourself. If this isn't brainless, then what is this?"

After a thorough analysis, Momonosuke didn't want to admit it but had to admit that what the man in front of him said actually made sense.

Although he was influenced by the power of his mother's fruit and forcibly matured to gain the mind of an adult, he has his own judgment when it comes to major issues.

Momonosuke couldn't help but imagine that if his father had really used his brain and seen through the shameless deception of Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi, then the suffering of Wano Country in the past 20 years could have been avoided, and his mother would not have died...

Eh?

Wait!

Momonosuke, who was a little slow to react, suddenly looked at John.

Facing the half-smiley look on the opposite side, he stood up suddenly, "You...how do you know about Lord Kozuki Oden's 20-year plan!"

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world, Momonosuke, Momonosuke, my lovely Momo, do you really think I know nothing about you?"

Jon remained calm and said, "I have to admit that you are actually somewhat different from a normal eight or nine year old child. I had my suspicions, and after much investigation, it's not surprising to know your identity."

Momonosuke's chest rose and fell, and he looked extremely nervous. But after calming down for a while, he sat down again very calmly and said, "It was Boss Cat Viper and Duke Inuarashi who told you, right?"

Jon smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

Momonosuke had a clue in his mind.

He should have expected that the Fur Tribe would tell his new master about his identity.

It's understandable that people forget about you when you leave.

"So, Lord Jon, how are you going to deal with me?" Momonosuke asked word by word.

Jon answered as a matter of course: "Of course you will continue to be my manservant. Why, you don't want to?"

Momonosuke certainly didn't want to.

Others have always served him tea and water, so how could he serve tea and water to others?

"Since Lord Jon has said this, how can I, the young master of Wano Country, become your male servant?"

Jon sneered, "What's the point of being the young master of Wano Country? You're the only one who thinks this thing is a treasure. Come on, tell me, what is there for you, the young master, to be proud of in front of me?"

Hearing this, Momonosuke was speechless for a moment.

If you think about it carefully, his status is really nothing compared to the Pirate Emperor. After all, the two people who are still occupying his ancestral property, Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido, even if they are tied together, they may not be a match for the man in front of him...

"Xiao Tao, I'm giving you a chance, you have to make use of it." Jon said earnestly.

As he spoke, he took out a stack of documents from his personal space and said, "Don't say that I, as your master, don't take care of you. Come, let me show you what your sister, whom you have not seen for 20 years, has done in these years."

My younger sister.

Day and night?

Momonosuke took the documents excitedly.

When he glanced up, his expression turned extremely ugly.

Oiran...

The little princess of the Kozuki family has become an otaku.

To put it nicely, she is an oiran, to put it bluntly, isn't she just a man's plaything?

Where did the retainer who took care of Hiyori end up? How could his sister be so miserable!

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious. Listen to me." Jon sighed, "Although you are quite amazing, you are still far behind your father and sister."

Momonosuke: ???

"I've already given your father a sharp review, and I don't want to waste my breath on it now. Your sister... Tsk, her train of thought is really unique."

Jon shook his head. "Are you wondering where the retainers who were responsible for taking care of your sister went? I can tell you the answer: they didn't go anywhere. Your sister ran away on her own."

Momonosuke didn't understand, "Hiyori, why would Hiyori do this?"

Jon spread his hands and said, "Who should I ask if you ask me?"

Seeing that Momonosuke's face was as black as the ash at the bottom of a pot, he added: "Maybe your sister felt like a burden at first, so she ran away secretly, but it has developed into what it is today. I can only say that it is her own problem and has nothing to do with others."

Patting Momonosuke on the shoulder, he said, "I have seen many princesses of fallen countries who endured humiliation and hardship. Do you know Vivi from Alabasta? She really endured hardships. Rebecca from Dressrosa was also very strong. She stayed in the arena for many years. They have not fallen to the point where they cannot survive without men."

"You said your sister was an oiran, so she's an oiran. Over the years, she had many opportunities to come into contact with Kurozumi Orochi, but she just did nothing. What kind of person is she? I can't say."

"Enough!" Momonosuke was furious.

"Hiyori... Hiyori is not that kind of person." His voice became lower and lower, and he sounded very unconfident.

Jon sighed, "Xiao Tao, you have to be strong."

Chapter 574: Strategy of Wano Country (Part )

With Noah's Ark sailing towards Wano Country in such a high-profile manner, the various forces would certainly not be unaware of it.

……

Naval fleet in the waters near Wano Country.

"Oh, things are getting troublesome."

High eyebrows, drooping eyelids, slightly thick lips, slightly messy black curly hair, wearing sunglasses, and holding a cigarette in his mouth.

The one who spoke was the new admiral of the navy, Aramaki, codenamed 'Green Bull'.

The man opposite him had short black hair and a beard around his mouth. He wore a lavender kimono, a dark purple belt, bandages on his arms, and wooden shoes.

It was another new admiral, codenamed 'Fujitora'.

"The headquarters has not yet reached a conclusion on John Joestar's unusual behavior. But what is certain is that we must not act rashly unless it is absolutely necessary." Fujitora said calmly.

After hearing this, Green Bull couldn't help but complain: "What you said, even if the two of us take action, we may not be able to do anything to that guy, right?"

When he first took office, he and Fujitora went to the Sabaody Archipelago to meet John Joestar. At that time, Akainu's loyal follower Green Bull actually wanted to vent his idol's anger.

But after actually meeting him and personally experiencing that powerful aura that seemed not like that of a living person, Green Bull didn't want to admit it but had to admit that if they fought alone, perhaps no one could be a match for John Joestar.

He can't do it, and neither can his idol Mr. Sakaski...

Hearing this, Fujitora opened his eyes, revealing the whites of his eyes, "How do you know if you don't try?"

"You really want to fight with John Joestar." Green Bull covered his forehead, "I hate trouble the most, that is to say, I pursue efficiency. Being an enemy of John Joestar is not only troublesome, but also inefficient."

Fujitora didn't care, "A big bet my friend, aren't you excited? That's a famous pirate."

"My friend, you lose every time you gamble, and everyone knows it." Green Bull mercilessly exposed Fujitora's true face, "I won't go crazy with you."

At this moment, a marine ran over and saluted the two admirals, "Mr. Green Bull, Mr. Fujitora, there's a call from headquarters!"

Green Bull signaled the Marines to leave the Den Den Mushi behind.

A moment later, the voice of Acting Marshal Aokiji rang through the Den Den Mushi.

"Huang Mu, Yi Sheng, you should already know it, right?"

"No need to answer. You can't possibly not know what the whole world knows..."
