Chapter 136 Doubt About Life

Yamato now feels like she has fallen into a terrible swamp of thinking. If she continues to think about it, her outlook on life will soon collapse.

So she immediately stopped thinking, for fear of coming up with some terrible answer.

Although 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 the battle with Kaido and was immediately executed. You said your father I wanted to kill you, but why didn’t I execute you after I defeated you?”

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

Lu Li looked playful, "Then do you think Kaido's Thunderous Bagua can't crush your head, but just enough to knock you unconscious every time?"

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

Yamato answered quickly this time.

"Oh? But I feel that Kozuki Oden is not very lucky. After all, he died in the end. It's not like you can survive every time."

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

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

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

Lu Li said in a persuasive manner.

Yamato just thought for a moment and came up with the answer, "Of course. At that time, I was still not familiar with Armament Haki, my body was not fully developed, my strength was much worse, and my combat skills were not as good as mine now... …”

When she said this, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She always felt like Lu Li had set some kind of 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 at the age of eleven a few years ago and fought with you for a long time?"

What Lu Li asked was a sure blow.

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

If we follow Lu Li's logic, wouldn't it mean that his father never actually wanted to kill him, but instead continued to indulge himself?

Seeing Yamato bewildered, Lu Li continued: "You mentioned it before when we were chatting with you. Before you were eight years old, people here called you Ghost Princess, but when I saw that the jailer sent you here, he called you Young Master. You also said that Kaido now says that you are his son, don’t you think there is a problem? "

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

"What do you think is the reason for 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 ghost princess."

Yamato thought.

A smile appeared on Lu Li's face, "It seems that you still have basic logical thinking skills. Since you said so yourself, you haven't thought about why they want to cooperate with you?"

Yamato was stunned for a moment. She really hadn't thought about this problem. Isn't this a matter of course?

"Without Kaido's order, who would have casually changed your name..."

Lu Li said helplessly, "This is just your father playing house with you. He satisfies 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 attempts to educate him to no avail, Kaido has almost given in to Yamato calling himself Kozuki Oden, so he said that Yamato is his son. Let everyone call you Master Yamato.

What is this for? This kind of behavior has no meaning except to make Yamato happy.

There is only one thing that can be explained, and that is Kaido’s ‘doting’ on his daughter

This is also an important reason why Kaido can educate such a rebellious daughter. Even though he is a cruel pirate and is not good at expressing emotions, he does indulge his daughter too much in some aspects, so Yamato will grow up. So crooked.

In the original work, on the night when Kaido wanted to completely bring the country of Wano under his rule, he also announced that he wanted Yamato to become the general of the country of Wano.

This is a perfect match for the role play of his daughter Kozuki Oden, making her truly the general of Wano.

Although there is an intention to use his daughter as a media puppet to control Wano, Kaido was almost 60 at the time. When he retires or dies of old age, who else will inherit this business?

"Impossible! Stop talking!"

Yamato roared angrily, covering his ears with his hands, taking two steps back, looking at Lu Li with a somewhat horrified look.

"It turns out that Kozuki Oden is a coward who dare not listen to what others say."

Lu Li said coldly.

Yamato's body suddenly shook, and he lowered his hands again, "No, that's not the case. I am Kozuki Oden. I am the hero of Wano Country, the man who wants to found the country for Wano Country."

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

Lu Li asked rhetorically.

"The founding of the country...the founding of the country means overthrowing Kaido's rule, no longer being closed to the outside world, and integrating with the world..."

Yamato said, her voice getting smaller and smaller, because she suddenly realized that she didn't understand what the founding of the country was. After all, the diary left by Kozuki Oden said very vaguely about the founding of the country.

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

As for the form of founding a country, the pros and cons, she didn't understand them at all.

It would be better to say that Kozuki Oden didn't write it himself, so he might not understand it very well.

"Look, in the final analysis, you don't understand anything. You are just a little girl who picked up Kozuki Oden's diary and worshiped her without any brain. You are no different from eight years ago. It's just that your body has grown, but your brain is still there. Same as before."

Lu Li said.

There were faint tears in Yamato's eyes, "Why did you say such outrageous things? I thought we were friends!"

"It's precisely because I think we are friends that I want to say these words to point out what's wrong with you and make you sober up."

Lu Li said, "I don't think resisting Kaido's tyranny is wrong. Your idea of ​​liberating the people of Wano is also a good one, but your views on Kaido and Kozuki Oden are seriously distorted. You don't Found it?"

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

Perhaps because she is young and is at an age where it is easy to absorb knowledge and good at thinking, and because she claims that Kozuki Oden is only eight years old, Yamato is really thinking about Lu Li's words now.

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

For a time, Yamato was very conflicted in his heart, and the image of Kozuki Oden that had taken eight years to build was slowly crumbling.

She was very unwilling to admit that her father did not want to kill her at all, but was pampering and doting on her.

If that were really the case, wouldn't it make him appear to be a rebellious and inhumane person?

Lu Li felt that he seemed to have stimulated Yamato a little too much, so he got into trouble and spoke his innermost thoughts. As a result, it seemed that he had given Yamato a chance to prevent himself from autism.

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

…………

On the other side, Ghost Island.

The torches in the cave dispersed the darkness, illuminating the huge figure sitting in the central seat.

The little giant sitting there had a naked upper body, his strong muscles were covered with tattoos, and he looked quite majestic.

But for such a person who looked very powerful and majestic, there was a sad and negative emotion lingering in his body at this time, so that the two minions who were responsible for serving the drinks beside him were frightened.

This person is none other than Kaido, the governor of the Beast Pirates, the strongest creature on the surface, and one of the Four Emperors!

Bang--

Kaido smashed a can of drunk wine against the wall, and the fragments fell all over the floor. His face was red with drunkenness, and the smell of alcohol was spitting out from his mouth, "I'm so sad, I really want to die."

Anyone familiar with Kaido knows that he will have various emotional states when he is 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 will actually commit suicide, but because his body is too strong, ordinary suicide methods often fail to succeed.

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

Kaido yelled, tending to go drunk and crazy.

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

A member of the Beast Pirates who was waiting nearby said cautiously, because Kaido's wine is not very good, it is possible for him to get drunk and beat people up. There were people who were responsible for delivering wine in the past. He was severely injured by Kaido in anger.

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

"Huh? Why so slow!?"

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

When the two people delivering drinks to Kaido were silent, a tall woman came over and helped them out, "Oh, who made our governor so angry?"

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

Wearing a low-cut black off-the-shoulder kimono with many flower petal patterns, and a turquoise belt with many white petal patterns tied around her waist, there was still a faint smoke from the pipe in her hand as she spoke.

"Lady Maria."

The two bartenders saluted her with great respect, because she was one of the Six Flying Sons (Six Sons of the Sky) of the Beast Pirates, a high-ranking official in the pirate group, and she also had a good personal relationship with Governor Kaido.

"Maria, you came just in time to drink with me."

Kaido seemed very depressed, but after seeing Maria, he stopped losing his temper and calmed down, waiting for someone to bring him drinks.

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

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

Mentioning this, Kaido's face became decadent again, "Don't mention it, I just educated her and sent her to Tudon Prison. I hope she can reflect on it this time."

Although he said this, years of experience told him that he, a traitor, would not reflect at all and would only continue to challenge himself after being released from prison.

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

Maria said with a smile.

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

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

Black Maria said with a smile, "They were both in the same cell, and he and Master Yamato analyzed his growth for a long time. Now Master Yamato is a little doubtful about his life."

Kaido was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't even drink the wine in his hand, "What's going on?"
