Chapter 140 Why was the strongest creature on earth captured?
Amid Yamato's nervousness and Kaido's anticipation, Lu Li spoke, "What I want to say is very simple, that is, even though you don't admit it, you are still a respected and prestigious person in the Beasts Pirates, so it's not easy for them to attack you even if they call you Master."

Lu Li put the mined stones into the mine cart and continued, "And in your heart, subconsciously, you also know your position, so you naturally scolded the alpaca, because you know that after you speak, he will not pursue it further."

Yamato was stunned when she heard that. She had never expected that she just helped Lu Li casually, but he could involve her in such a troublesome topic.

But people are like this, once someone says something, you can't help but think about it. Yamato also subconsciously recalled what he had just said.

'Don't touch my friends!'

This sentence structure ended the conflict, and it seemed to contain some kind of premise.

That is, why did she think that after she said Lu Li was her friend, Yangtuo shouldn't continue to commit violence?
She seemed to have unconsciously put herself in a high position where she could command the alpacas, but she was clearly Kozuki Oden, and she should not be able to command the overseer of the Beasts Pirates.

"No... No, I didn't think that much at the time. I just didn't want to see Brother Lu get hurt. Of course I would be angry when I saw him being disrespectful and violent to my friend."

Yamato said this, but his eyes were not very firm, and there was a hint of self-doubt.

Seeing this, Lu Li did not talk about what happened just now, because he also knew that Yamato's behavior at that time had two sides. Even if she was not Kaido's daughter, she would have tried to stop it and said something similar.

Because Yamato really values ​​this friend whom he has just met for the first time in sixteen years, Yamato's behavior can be explained by simple anger.

"I'm very happy to hear Yamato say that, but just now when I was mining, I thought of another question."

Lu Li said with a smile.

Yamato shuddered when Lu Li said the word "problem" and smiled bitterly: "Brother Lu, can we just mine honestly? Or you can tell me the story outside, don't talk about the problem."

Seeing that Yamato was very resistant, Lu Li could only use the method of comforting him, "I have thought of it, let me tell you, and then I will tell you a story. This time I will tell you the myths and legends of my hometown."

Hearing that there was a story to be heard, and it was a myth from his friend's hometown, Yamato was very interested, so he nodded and said, "Then go ahead, Brother Lu."

Lu Lixin said that Yamato was easy to appease, after all, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl. He said, "I heard you say before that after you challenged Kaido, you were imprisoned every time you failed, and most of the time it was here. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I feel that this may be Kaido fulfilling your wish."

"Huh? Kaido is granting my wish? What are you talking about, Brother Lu."

Yamato's face was full of question marks. This time, she felt that Lu Li would never let her doubt himself again.

"Didn't you tell me about your idol's deeds before? After Kozuki Oden made a mistake at the age of ten, he was imprisoned in a quarry and later became the head stone craftsman. Isn't this giving you a chance to replicate the idol's path? After all, you call yourself Kozuki Oden."

Lu Li said with a smile.

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Yamato was stunned when he heard this, then came back to his senses, "It seems so, why didn't I think about it before, I am Kozuki Oden, I should be the head stone craftsman here, how can I just mine!?"

Obviously, the mistake her brain circuit detected was that she did not follow Kozuki Oden's behavior pattern, and she was very regretful.

At this time, Kaido, who was watching the live broadcast on Ghost Island, also had a strange expression on his face, "I haven't thought about it that way..."

He threw Yamato into Usagi Prison purely because there were only two prisons in Wano Country, one of which was in the city. If he had to lock Yamato up there, he might as well lock him up on Onigashima.

Based on the principle of out of sight, out of mind, and the fact that the quarry can also be used for labor reform, Usagi Prison has almost become Kaido's only choice. He threw Yamato there but he didn't mean to let his daughter follow in his idol's footsteps.

"It doesn't matter what you think. The key is to see what Yamato thinks right now."

Maria laughed and said, "I feel like Yamato is about to fall into a trap again."

Kaido's brain didn't work that fast, so in order not to show his stupidity, he could only keep his mouth shut and continue watching.

At this time, in the Rabbit Prison, Lu Li said: "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but objectively speaking, Kaido did cooperate with your role-playing game and tried his best. It's just that I think his doing this will make you go further astray."

Yamato puffed up one side of her cheek slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction, "What do you mean by misguided? Kozuki Oden is..."

"A great hero, isn't he?"

Lu Li continued, "A hero who forcibly abducted a commoner girl?"

Yamato was suddenly stuck. She had been thinking about it all night last night, but still couldn't figure out why her idol, Kozuki Oden, did such a bad thing. Obviously, everything the idol did should be right.

But after Lu Li used her father as an example, she truly realized that it was indeed wrong behavior, and could even be said to be beastly behavior.

"Let's continue with the issue of this prison. Yamato, you said that Kaido abused you, so you had to hide from place to place and often didn't have enough food. Just now you said that the food in Rabbit Don Prison was good and you often came here to eat. So have you ever thought about why Kaido locked you up here instead of locking you up on Onigashima to starve?"

Lu Li's question was a blow to the soul, which made Yamato stunned again.

She hadn't figured out the problem just now, and a new problem made her feel distressed.

To be honest, the worst time she suffered from hunger was when she first started calling herself Kozuki Oden. Her father had put her in solitary confinement several times and wouldn't let anyone give her food.

Later, a member of the pirate group who was kind enough to give him food was executed for disobeying Kaido's orders.

But after about a year, the situation got better, and after she was eleven years old, she began to challenge Kaido one after another. After each failure, she was imprisoned in Rabbit Don Prison, and that was when she started to have enough food to eat.

It was also during those years that her body grew rapidly, and she soon became tall, allowing her to fight Kaido for longer.

"You...what do you want to say?" Yamato asked hesitantly. In fact, she already vaguely realized the answer in her heart.

"Although it's just speculation, I feel that Kaido may have felt that you were in the period of growth and couldn't go hungry every day, so he sent you to Rabbit Donburi Prison because he knew that with your strength, you could have enough food here."

Lu Li analyzed seriously.

He was not just making this up. Referring to Kaido's life experience, he felt that this was very likely.

After all, when Kaido was eleven or twelve years old, he often went to be captured by the navy because he didn't have enough food, and then he would eat on the warship and then escape from prison...

Therefore, based on Kaido's way of thinking, he is very likely to make such an arrangement for Yamato so that Yamato can have enough food to eat and grow.

This feeling is very strange. In a normal worldview, it is a bit like a father and daughter quarreling, and the daughter refuses to eat. Neither side is willing to admit defeat in anger, but the father is still afraid that his daughter will be hungry, so he secretly puts more money in his daughter's piggy bank.

The heartless daughter refused to eat at home, but went out to eat because she couldn't bear the hunger. She found that there was more money in the piggy bank. She thought it was because she saved a lot of money in the past few days, but she didn't know that it was all the good intentions of her father.

Of course, Kaido and Yamato’s situations are more complicated and awkward, and their methods of finding food for their daughters are more hardcore.

I guess in Kaido's mind, prison is a restaurant, and it would be right to send his daughter there. After all, that's how he grew up and became strong.

At this time, on the other side of Onigashima, Black Maria's eyes curved, unable to hide her smile, and looked at Kaido, "Is that so?"

Kaido turned his head slightly to prevent Black Maria from seeing the expression on his dark face. "It's all this kid's imagination. I just want to teach Yamato a lesson. This is the rule of Rabbit Donburi."

"Oh~ He must be overthinking it."

Black Maria's voice was drawn out, with a smile on her face. She had not expected that her governor had such a delicate side.

Even a woman as careful as her had not thought of this before. She simply thought that Kaido wanted to force Yamato to undergo forced labor.

Kaido looked at the screen with a dark face, expectantly watching Yamato's reaction.

At this moment, Yamato's expression was in a state of struggle. "No way... that bastard dad would actually... consider such a thing? I thought..."

"Do you think it is your idol Oden's spirit in heaven that blesses you and allows you to have enough food to eat?"

Lu Li answered, teasingly.

Yamato frowned, "I wouldn't say that..."

Having said this, she was stunned again, because she realized that if it were herself a few days ago, she would definitely say this and think so.

What was wrong with him? He actually refuted Lu Li at the first moment, which was equivalent to refuting his idol and questioning his own identity as Kozuki Oden.

"Anyway, a rough man like my father Kaido wouldn't think so carefully and let me use the prison as a cafeteria or something. He wouldn't use such a roundabout way to let me have enough food!"

Yamato said angrily.

"Oh? Then let me ask you, do you really know what kind of person Kaido is?"

Lu Li asked with a smile, "You know Kozuki Oden, who was originally a stranger, so well, but you don't seem to know your biological father very well."

Yamato looked unhappy, "Of course I understand. Kaido is my biggest enemy, Kozuki Oden. As a samurai, I must understand my enemy before I can defeat him."

"Really? Then let me ask you, do you know what your father experienced before he came to Wano Country? Do you know what kind of legends are circulating on the sea?"

Lu Li asked.

"Ah? When he brought me to Wano Country, I was only a few years old and I couldn't remember anything yet. How could I possibly know about his past?"

Yamato looked at Lu Li in confusion, "Could it be that you know?"

"It would be strange if you didn't know. Your father is one of the Four Emperors, a well-known figure in this ocean. If you ask any member of the Beasts Pirates or the high-ranking officials of Wano Country, they will all know his famous deeds."

Lu Li was not fooling Yamato. He didn't dare to tell the people of Wano, but the people of the Beasts Pirates certainly knew the legend of Kaido, otherwise they would not worship Kaido and join him. The pirates and adventurers in the New World were even more familiar with the deeds of people like Kaido, who was far more famous than Kozuki Oden.

He continued, "As a pirate, Kaido was arrested 18 times when he challenged the navy alone. He was tortured more than a thousand times and sentenced to death 40 times. But even if he was hanged, he would break the chains. Even if he was taken to the guillotine, he would smash the guillotine. Even if he was stabbed by a spear, the spear would break. He sank as many as nine huge prison ships. No one has ever been able to kill him, not even himself."

He briefly summarized Kaido's record, and then pointed out the key point, "There is a saying circulating in the sea that Kaido is the strongest creature on the surface of the earth. Why is the strongest creature on the surface of the earth so easily captured?"

Yamato was feeling very turbulent at this time. It was the first time she heard about her father's military achievements when he was young. It was a wonderful feeling. She had not been born yet during that period, but her father was already active on the sea.

Lu Li's narration also gave her a great shock. Was her father so strong?

"Why? If you can be caught, you can't be called the strongest creature, right?"

Yamato asked confused.

"The rumor circulating on the sea is that he was arrested on purpose because he was hungry."

Lu Li looked into Yamato's eyes, then turned around and pushed the cart full of ore towards the place where the food coupons were exchanged. "I'm hungry. I'm going to have breakfast first."
