Chapter 136 Doubt life

Chapter 136 Doubt life

Yamato now felt that she was trapped in a terrible swamp of thought. If she continued thinking about it, her outlook on life would soon collapse.

So she immediately stopped thinking, fearing that she would come up with some horrible answer.

But even though Yamato gave up thinking, Lu Li did not stop asking, "I also heard the story of Kozuki Oden when I was traveling in Wano Country. He was captured after a battle with Kaido and was directly executed. You said your father wanted to kill you, but why didn't he execute you after defeating you?"

Yamato's mind was in a state of confusion. Various information collided in the mind of this sixteen-year-old girl. Finally, her eyes became a little confused. "Maybe... he wants to kill me in battle?"

Lu Li looked amused, "So you think Kaido's Thunder Bagua Hammer can't smash your head, and it just knocks you unconscious every time?"

"That's just my luck. After all, I'm Kozuki Oden."

Yamato answered very quickly this time.

"Oh? But I feel that Kozuki Oden's luck is not very good. After all, he died in the end, unlike you who always survived."

Lu Li said, "Besides, didn't you say that you have been getting stronger over the years?"

Yamato was in a state of confusion and only responded to the second half of Lu Li's words. She nodded and said, "Of course, I am much stronger than I was a few years ago."

"Then do you think that the you now, compared to the you when you were 11 years old, could kill her with one move?"

Lu Li said in a persuasive manner.

Yamato thought for a moment before coming up with the answer, "Of course. At that time, I was not even familiar with the use of Armament Haki, my body was not fully developed, my strength was far behind, and my combat skills were not as good as they are now..."

When she said this, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and she always felt that Lu Li seemed to have set a trap for her.

She was about to change her words, but Lu Li had already spoken.

"So, what makes you think that Kaido, who can still defeat you now, couldn't kill you when you were eleven years old a few years ago, and he fought you for quite a while?"

The question Lu Li asked was a sure-fire solution.

Yamato was completely confused. She felt that the defense line of her own world that she had built over the years was completely broken. Before Lu Li's questioning, she found that the "common sense" in her own world seemed to be illogical.

If we follow Lu Li's logic, doesn't that mean that his father never actually wanted to kill him, but was instead constantly indulging him?

Seeing Yamato was confused, Lu Li continued: "You mentioned this to me before, that before you were eight years old, people here called you the Ghost Princess, but when I saw the jailer bringing you here, he called you Young Master. You also said that Kaido now says you are his son, don't you think there is a problem?"

Yamato was confused, "What's the problem?"

"What do you think caused these changes?"

Lu Li asked.

"Isn't it because I am Kozuki Oden now? Because Kozuki Oden is a man, so of course I am a man and cannot be a demon princess."

Yamato thought.

Lu Li smiled, "It seems that you still have basic logical thinking ability. Since you said so yourself, have you ever thought about why they should cooperate with you?"

Yamato was stunned. She had never thought about this question. Isn't this a matter of course?

"If Kaido didn't give the order, who would change the way they address you..."

Lu Li said helplessly, "This is just your father playing house with you. He has satisfied your hobby of role-playing to a certain extent."

This is also an important reason why Lu Li feels that Kaido has fatherly love for Yamato. After many unsuccessful attempts to educate him, Kaido has almost surrendered to Yamato's claim to be Kozuki Oden, so he said that Yamato is his son and asked everyone to call him Master Yamato.

What's the purpose of this? This behavior has no meaning except to make Yamato happy.

The only explanation is Kaido's "spoiling" of his daughter.

This is also an important reason why Kaido was able to educate such a heaven-defying daughter. Even though he is a cruel pirate and not good at expressing emotions, he is indeed too indulgent to his daughter in some aspects, so Yamato grew up so crooked.

In the original work, on the night when Kaido was about to completely bring Wano Country under his rule, he also announced that he would make Yamato the general of Wano Country.

This is simply a perfect complement to the role-playing of her daughter Kozuki Oden, allowing her to truly become the general of Wano Country.

Although there is the intention of using his daughter as a puppet to control Wano Country, Kaido is almost sixty years old at that time. When he retires or dies of old age, who will inherit this family business?
"Impossible! Stop talking!"

Yamato roared, covering his ears with his hands, taking two steps back, looking at Lu Li with some fear.

"It turns out that Kozuki Oden is a coward who doesn't dare to listen to others."

Lu Li said coldly.

Yamato's body suddenly shook, and he put his hands down again, "No, it's not like that, I am Kozuki Oden, I am the hero of Wano Country, the man who will found the country of Wano Country."

"Do you know what founding a country is? Do you know the pros and cons of founding a country?"

Lu Li asked back.

"Founding a country... Founding a country means overthrowing Kaido's rule, no longer isolating the country, and connecting with the world..."

As Yamato spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, because she suddenly realized that she did not understand what constituted the founding of a country. After all, the diary left by Kozuki Oden was very vague about the founding of a country.

It just focuses on describing that 20 years later, a hero will come to liberate Wano Country, and they don't need to establish the country before that, they can just wait until the hero comes and then establish the country.

As for the form, pros and cons of founding a country, she knew nothing about it.

It is better to say that Kozuki Oden himself did not write it, and he probably did not understand it very well. "Look, in the final analysis, you know nothing. You are just a little girl who found Kozuki Oden's diary and worships him mindlessly. You are no different from eight years ago. You have only grown up physically, but your brain is still the same as before."

Lu Li said.

Yamato had tears in his eyes, "Why did you say such outrageous words? I thought we were friends!"

"It is precisely because I feel that we are friends that I am saying these words, pointing out what is wrong with you and making you sober up."

Lu Li said, "I don't think it's wrong to resist Kaido's tyranny. Your idea of ​​liberating the people of Wano Country is also a good idea, but your view of Kaido and Kozuki Oden is seriously distorted. Don't you notice?"

Yamato held his head in his hands, curled up in the corner, as if he was completely autistic.

Perhaps it was because she was young and at an age where she could easily absorb knowledge and was good at thinking, plus she claimed that only eight years had passed since she died of Kozuki Oden, Yamato was now really thinking seriously about Lu Li's words.

She felt that Lu Li's words were all outrageous, but they seemed to make some sense.

For a time, Yamato was very conflicted. The image of Kozuki Oden that he had spent eight years to build was slowly collapsing.

She was very reluctant to admit that her father had no intention of killing her but was indulging and pampering her.

If that is really the case, wouldn't it make me appear to be a traitor and an inhuman person?
Lu Li felt that he seemed to have provoked Yamato a little too much. He got carried away and said something that was really on his mind, which seemed to have broken Yamato's defenses and made him become autistic.

So he stopped talking and closed his eyes to rest. After all, telling stories and practicing sparring had consumed a lot of his energy.

…………

On the other side, Ghost Island.

The torches in the cave dispelled the darkness and illuminated the huge figure sitting in the central seat.

The little giant sitting there was shirtless, with tattoos all over his strong muscles, and he looked quite majestic.

But even such a powerful and majestic-looking man was filled with negative emotions of sadness at this moment, so much so that the two minions who were responsible for serving wine beside him were frightened.

This person is none other than Kaido, the governor of the Beasts Pirates, the strongest creature on earth, and one of the Four Emperors!
boom--

Kaido smashed a can of empty wine against the wall, and the fragments scattered all over the ground. His face was red from drunkenness, and his mouth was filled with the smell of alcohol. "I'm so sad. I want to die."

People who are familiar with Kaido know that he will have various emotional states after getting drunk, the most common of which is the "autistic" state. Once he enters this state, he will be very sad and want to commit suicide.

And Kaido is not just talking, he really wants to commit suicide, but because his body is too strong, ordinary suicide methods often fail.

"Wine! There's not enough wine... bring some wine!!"

Kaido shouted, tending to go crazy with alcohol.

"Governor, the wine is on the way. Please, please wait a moment."

A standby from the Beasts Pirates who was in charge of serving nearby said cautiously that because Kaido was not a good drinker, it was possible that he would go crazy and beat people after getting drunk. In the past, the person responsible for delivering wine was severely injured by Kaido's anger.

This is because Kaido probably realized that this was one of his own, so he held back.

"Huh? Why is it so slow!?"

Kaido was very angry and slapped the handrail, causing the cave to shake continuously.

When the two people who helped Kaido deliver the wine were silent, a tall woman came over and helped them out. "Hey, who made our governor so angry?"

The beauty who walked into the cave was tall and sexy, charming and seductive, with a long golden bun, a pair of green eyes, snow-white skin, a pair of long red horns on her head, pearl earrings in her ears, and a knife as a hairpin.

She was wearing a black low-cut, off-shoulder kimono with many floral petal patterns, and a turquoise belt with many white petal patterns tied around her waist. As she spoke, smoke was wafting from the pipe in her hand.

"Lady Maria."

The two wine waiters saluted her with great respect, because she was one of the Flying Six of the Beasts Pirates, a high-ranking officer in the pirate group, and had a good personal relationship with Governor Kaido.

"Maria, you came at the right time. Come drink with me."

Kaido seemed very depressed, but after seeing Maria, he stopped being angry, calmed down, and waited for someone to bring him some wine.

"I heard that Master Yamato came to challenge you again yesterday. Are you angry about this?"

Maria picked up the half remaining can of wine on the ground and poured it for Kaido with a gentle smile on her face.

Speaking of this, Kaido's expression became depressed again, "Don't mention it, I just taught her a lesson and sent her to Udon Prison. I hope she can reflect on herself this time."

Although he said so, years of experience told him that this rebellious son would never reflect on himself and would only continue to challenge himself after being released from prison.

"Don't be angry, Master Yamato seems to be really reflecting on himself this time."

Maria said with a smile.

Kaido didn't take it seriously and thought it was just Maria's words to comfort him, so he didn't answer and just drank silently.

"Don't disbelieve me. I have always asked Caiman Lady to monitor Master Yamato. This time, she met some interesting people after being imprisoned. Do you remember the demon slayer who challenged me a few days ago?"

Black Maria smiled and said, "The two of them were put in the same cell. As a result, he analyzed his growth story with Master Yamato for a long time. Now Master Yamato is a little doubtful about his life."

Kaido was stunned when he heard this, and stopped drinking the wine in his hand. "What's going on?"
