I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

In addition to the red historical text, there is also a huge family emblem of the Kozuki family on the wall behind it.

However, Xie Wen just glanced at it casually and didn't look at it again...it had nothing to do with him anyway.

In fact, like Kozuki Momonosuke, although Xie Wen scoffed at Kozuki Oden's ability to govern the country and his naive ideas, he did not have much opinion about him personally.

Although Kozuki Oden was a failure as a monarch, Xie Wen was not from Wano Country. No matter how useless their monarch was, it would not affect Xie Wen. The reason why he avoided Kozuki Oden was entirely because of his group of foolishly loyal samurai, the people of Wano Country who placed their hopes on the Kozuki clan which had already shown its unreliable side, and Yamato, the brainless fan.

Because Xie Wen didn't understand at all how Kozuki Oden, a monarch who could be called incompetent, could become the hope of the people...

However, considering the excellent matching mechanism in the One Piece world, Xie Wen seemed to be able to understand it a little better.

After all, although Kozuki Oden is not a qualified monarch, he can be regarded as a hero in Wano Country, or more precisely, in the concept of daily life.

Because it is obvious that Oda used Susanoo as a template to create the character of Kozuki Oden.

In the myth, Susanoo was also willful and rude when he was in Takama-ga-hara, and was hated by everyone. It was only after he killed the drunken Yamata-no-Orochi that he was praised as a hero.

Kozuki Oden was also disliked by the people of Wano Country at the beginning, but he defeated the Yamagami and integrated Kuri, which reversed his reputation. When dealing with Kaido, he also planned to wait until he was drunk before taking action, but there was a spy in the team, so the result was different.

There is also the Yamata-no-Orochi fruit eaten by Kurozumi Orochi, and the sword Ame-no-Habakiri, which has the same name as Susanoo's sword, both of which hint at the prototype of Kozuki Oden.

Even... Kozuki Oden's appearance was designed based on Susanoo's ukiyo-e...

Although the characters in Ukiyo-e look similar, Kin'emon, who is also in the style of Ukiyo-e, looks a bit like Kozuki Oden.

In fact, there are similar stories and legends about the prodigal son in China, such as the origin of the name of a very popular movie - Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils.

But unlike Kozuki Oden, Zhou Chu was originally positioned as a hero. He later became a general and had a very good reputation. He eventually died on the battlefield. Although Susanoo also managed Izumo Province, in the mythology, his story basically ends here.

What about Kozuki Oden? It would have been fine if he had abandoned his country and went to sea willfully, but later when he fought against Kaido, he was a complete idiot teammate, no, it should be said that he was a complete idiot captain. Even if he had made a slight mistake, things could have turned out better, but this "hope of Wano Country" stepped into all the traps...

Therefore, Xie Wen’s feeling towards Kozuki Oden is closer to his opinion of those traffic stars on Earth - they do a terrible job at their job, but there are a lot of people who mindlessly worship and praise them.

There is a saying that one fan is worth ten haters. Originally, Kozuki Oden (a popular star) still has some fighting power (good looks) to show off, but after being treated like this by these brainless fans, Xie Wen naturally felt disgusted.

In addition, the "Oden Virus" that was ridiculed by stupid netizens but actually existed and even affected the protagonist group made him stay away from anything related to Kozuki Oden.

"this is……"

However, Inuarashi seemed determined to recruit Xie Wen and the others to join their group, so when he noticed that Xie Wen and the cats around him noticed the family crest of the Kozuki family, he immediately took the opportunity to speak.

"I know the family crest of the Kozuki clan in Wano Country," Xie Wen bluntly said, "Don't waste your energy. I have no interest in restoring the Kozuki clan. And as far as I know, Kozuki Oden died at the hands of Kaido more than ten years ago. His two children have also disappeared long ago. The Kozuki clan has long been dead in name only."

"That's not the case! Madam Toki made a prophecy before she died! Lord Momonosuke and the others will definitely come back!"

Because Inuarashi and Nekomaru were captured by the Beasts because of a quarrel during their escape, they did not know the real whereabouts of Momonosuke and the others, but they did know the prophecy of Kotsuki Toki.

"Prophecy... It's better to just listen to it. Oftentimes, even if the prophecies come true, they may not be what you originally thought."

Xie Wen and the cats all curled their lips, and even Robin and Shirahoshi looked like they didn't care much.

After all, when they were on Fishman Island, they had personally experienced a prophecy. Although the final result was very similar to the prophecy, it was completely different in essence.

Of course, Xie Wen knew that the prophecy was still reliable, so he continued, "Well, even if the heir of the Kozuki clan can really come back, why should we help? We have no friendship with Kozuki Oden. Besides, isn't it because that guy believed the enemy's promise that Wano Country has fallen to this point now?"

"Take back what you just said!"

"Even if it's you, you can't slander our lord at will!"

Sure enough, when Kozuki Oden was mentioned, Inuarashi and Nekomaru, who used to be able to control their temper, suddenly lost their minds like those brainless fans who "fight" for their idols, and directly drew their weapons and pointed them at Xie Wen and the others...

Clearly, we had planned to let Hua Mei Miao take charge of Zuo Wu.

This time, Xie Wen did not choose to hold down Meowx who had already started to pull out her gun, or Suika who was dragging Ibuki Miura forward, because he felt that it would be better to beat up these stubborn people first and then slowly reason with them...

Even if they still don't listen, at least they will be more obedient.

"Be careful not to damage the tree."

Therefore, Xie Wen only gave this reminder before Meowx and Suika-Meow took action.

“Meowhahahaha! Don’t worry! At worst I won’t have to use the Fire Chew Grenade and the Death Missile meow!”

(=`w=)l▄︻╤

Mewx said as he pulled the trigger and shot Inuarashi.

Of course, although the little crazy cat was crazy, she still had self-awareness. She knew that she was no match for Inuarashi without using weapons with large-scale damage, so she shouted while attacking: "Ai! Come and help me, meow!"

"Shirley, let's go meow!"

(=`w=)

With the six-horned salamander on his head, Huiyuan Miao immediately jumped off Xie Wen's shoulder and quickly took out potions of various colors...

Since finding the correct way to join a battle, Huibara Cat has become passionate about fighting.

With the little kitten's operation, a Slime Rainbow Team consisting of Shirley and her clones soon appeared beside her and Meowx.

And Suika staggered to a size as tall as Cat Viper, and used Ibuki Ryori to block the fork in his hand.

"Since we are inside the tree, it is not easy to use fire. Let me try my new trick, meow~"

Suika-nyan made a grabbing motion in the air with her free hand...

As she moved, a ball of transparent liquid condensed out of thin air above Cat Viper's head, and then, under Suika's control, accurately hit him.

Immediately afterwards, a white mist burst out from the cat viper's body, and pieces of white frost quickly covered his huge body, with many icicles hanging on his beard and tail.

"Frozen Talisman: Void Compression Bullet, meow!"
