Chapter 204: Speechless Tianyueshi
"Is there any problem?" Kozuki Toki asked in confusion.
"I want you to take care of me for a few years. There are some things I need to do." said Trek.
"...I don't want to travel through time anymore. I just want to die in the era when Oden died." After a moment of silence, Kozuki said what was in his mind.
"This is how you repay your benefactor. You don't even agree to such a small request! You disappoint me so much, Kozuki Toki." Trek pretended to be disappointed.
He only traveled to 18 years later, so he could actually disguise himself as Kozuki Toki now. However, if he wants to disguise himself again after traveling back in time a few years, his disguise will not be successful because Kozuki Toki is not in that time and space.
"I'm sorry, Oden is dead, and I want to die with him in this era." Kozuki Toki whispered.
Trek thinks that people in Wano Country are all crazy. It's okay that Yamato was tortured, but Kozuki Toki was not born in Wano Country. Although her original name was Amatsuki Toki, she was from the Amatsuki family of Wano Country.
Trek couldn't help but rant: "You sent the child to 20 years later? I don't understand. If Momonosuke can't beat Kaido now, how can he beat the more powerful Kaido in the future?"
"How do you know?" Kouyue Toki was surprised, "Has this person been staring at me?"
When Trek didn't answer, he continued, "I, I just knew that the liberators would appear in 20 years to save the world, so I sent them there."
"You are placing your hopes on others and want to reap the benefits without them doing anything. If the liberator does not appear or does not intend to liberate Wano Country, are you going to swallow your anger in silence?" Trek sneered.
"Whether it's sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor or swallowing one's anger in silence, it's both despicable and stupid. Is Wano Country such a despicable country? Such a country should be swept into the dust of history."
"I..." Kozuki Toki was speechless for a moment.
Trek continued to fire: "I thought the Kozuki family was despicable and stupid enough, but I didn't expect that you, a person who was not born in Wano Country, would become despicable and stupid just because you married into the Kozuki family."
"You can criticize me, but you are not allowed to insult the Kozuki family!" Kozuki was immediately upset when he heard Oden's family being scolded. How could a hero who was boiled to death for the country be blasphemed? And how did he know that he was from the Oden family? Who is this person?
"Who are you? How do you know so many things?" Kozuki Toki asked with a serious expression. The person in front of him seemed to know everything.
"I am an adventurer from 18 years later, the founder of the Adventure Guild, Trek. As for knowing so many things, isn't it normal? I come from the future, and I learned about the past and future of the Kozuki Family from the guild's intelligence channels."
Of course, this is still an excuse. The main reason is that Trek has read the original work and has the illustrated guide to look up.
"The Kozuki family has been killed or injured in order to protect Wano Country, and only my two young children are left. What right do you have to insult them?" Kozuki Toki retorted.
"Kozuki Sukiyaki, the general of Wano Country, escaped from imprisonment. Instead of joining forces with other daimyo to defeat Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi, he watched these daimyo die."
"For 18 years, I have been hiding my identity in the village of Braided Hatsune and making puppets. I have not made any preparations for resistance or even war. I am only waiting for the liberator to save Wano Country before I plan to come out and pick peaches."
Trek directly reported the "glorious deeds" of Oden's father, Kozuki Sukiyaki.
"Well, he doesn't have the strength to defeat Kaido, he can only..." Kozuki Toki wanted to defend him, but she couldn't go on. The first part of his explanation made sense, but she didn't understand why he was making a puppet in the latter part.
"Not to mention Kozuki Sukiyaki, even Oden is a disaster and a psychopath." Trek continued to complain about Kozuki Oden without any hesitation.
"you--"
"Shut up!"
Just as Kozuki Toki was about to refute, he was interrupted by Trek. He frowned and suddenly felt the powerful aura of the person in front of him.
"When Kozuki Oden was born, he hurt his wet nurse. When he was 6, he started going to red-light districts. When he was 8, he got into a fight with gamblers after drinking. When he was 14, he changed the river course due to drought, causing a flood. When he was 15, he threatened the abbot of a temple and lived in seclusion in the temple, kidnapping women every night to build his harem."
"When a friend died, he threw his body into the fire pit to use as fuel for oden; when the money that Shimotsuki Yasuie donated to Oden for the benefit of Kuri was given to the evil Kurozumi Orochi by Oden; when his father was dying, he abandoned his father and country without hesitation to start a pirate journey."
"This is the past before Kozuki Oden met you! You actually fell in love with such a corrupt man and even married him. You are blind." Trek approached Kozuki Oden's slightly pale face and mocked him.
Kozuki had never heard Oden say these things, and felt that the things Trek said were not the same person as the Oden he knew.
But seeing that Tracy knew everything like the back of his hand and didn't seem to want to lie, there was no need for him to make up some fictitious stories in advance to deceive himself.
However, later on, Oden made a lot of sacrifices to save Wano Country.
"But behind Oden..." Kozuki Toki wanted to continue to defend himself.
"Maybe I can lie about these things, but you know what he did later." Trick continued to interrupt.
"When Roger and Rayleigh wanted to help him save Wano Country, he refused, saying that it was a mission that only the Kozuki Family could accomplish."
"Then why do we have to wait for the liberation fighters to save Wano Country now? Wano Country has been under cruel rule for more than ten years because of Oden's self-righteousness."
"And because of the so-called hostages, they danced naked for several years even though they had the power to defeat Kaido."
"Don't you know that being held hostage will only create more hostages? When hostages cannot become hostages, they are safest."
"Even though he was afraid to take action because of the hostages, there were still many opportunities to defeat Kaido later. When Kaido lost a large part of his combat power in the battle with Moria, Oden was still dancing naked. Even though he knew that Kurozumi Orochi was deceiving him, he actually let the Orochi leave leisurely."
"He could have escaped with his retainers, but he chose to jump into the frying pan and die. Don't think that this is a sacrifice for Wano Country. Whether he dies or not, the civilians of Wano Country will not die, and will only be enslaved by Kaido."
"Stupid Oden, he was the only fighter in Wano Country who could fight Kaido at that time."
"And the foolish civilians of Wano Country were actually moved by such a stupid decision, and then continued to endure a life of slavery waiting for the so-called savior."
"They are the ones who are oppressed, but they are also the ones who are only waiting for salvation. Why should others sacrifice themselves to save such a country?"
"And you, Kozuki Toki, you left your young child behind and went to die. You think it's easy for you. Have you ever thought about how Kozuki Hiyori will survive, especially a little girl like her who inherited your beauty. She will only become an otaku who can be slept with by anyone when she grows up."
"A child like Momonosuke will be good for nothing in 20 years except being the heir to Kozuki's family. Without proper instruction, he will even behave worse and make stupider decisions because he is deeply influenced by Oden."
