Two days after the banquet, Yuyuko was still a little dizzy, but she recovered quickly. At least seasickness no longer existed.
It was a bit funny to think of Yuyuko being seasick. The two times I experienced seasickness after I came to this world were when I felt faint for a long time and was hungry at the same time.
I don't know whether it's a coincidence or something wrong with my body.
Probably just a coincidence.
The Moby Dick's route is relatively casual, but most of the time it is patrolling various territories. According to Marco, Daddy Whitebeard doesn't actually manage his territory very much, but rather provides some protection. Judging from this behavior, Whitebeard is not even a pirate.
If anything, Daddy Whitebeard can only be considered a peace officer.
A rather strange maritime peace officer.
At least under the leadership of Whitebeard, there are no more guys who dare to cause trouble in the domain he controls, and there are no taxes as heavy as Heavenly Gold. To put it bluntly, except for the fact that the ruler is a pirate, the residents living in the new world are even better off than those in the four seas.
Even if Roger hadn't started the Age of Discovery, the situation in the New World might have been better.
However, the era of great pirates opened by Roger also forced the navy and the world government to withdraw from the New World power circle.
The worst victims of pirates should be the front section of the Grand Line and the wealthier areas in the four seas.
However, the days seemed to be peaceful. But on this day, Izo, who had been holding back for several days, found Yuyuko.
Izo didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point about the relationship between Yuyuko and the Kozuki family.
Also accompanying him were some old members who had met Oden, such as Marco and Whitebeard. Everyone has heard what happened to Wano Country after Oden returned, but it has been several years. The situation in Wano Country has become a foregone conclusion, and it is not easy for Whitebeard to intervene rashly.
Looking at the people surrounding her with doubts in their eyes, Youyouzi sighed helplessly, and then took out her pendant. "To be honest, even if you don't come to me, I will come to you for something."
After saying that, Yuyuko sighed and handed the pendant to Izo as she walked away.
Just like Shanks at the time, or even more shocked than Shanks at that time, because this is different from Shanks at the time. Izo is an authentic person from the country of Wano, and he is also the former Nine Red Scabbard Heroes. First, he naturally knows more information than outsiders like Shanks.
But on this matter, it’s not easy to compare Yuyuko with Izo. Most of what Izou knows is the events he and Oden experienced together. Although they are both from Wano, the information Yuyuko knows is more about the future shown in the comics, that is, Luffy takes the red sheath back to recover Mitsuki. thing.
Rather than herself, Yuyuko wanted to obtain more and more detailed information about Wano from Izo.
After all, that guy Oda is just a manga artist, what does he know about One Piece...
Compared to Yuyuko who was thinking about things, Izo was completely shocked.
Holding this small pendant made of sea floor stone, Yi Zang was speechless for a while. The pendant has two sides, one side is engraved with the family emblem of the Kozuki clan, and the other side is the family emblem of Yuyuko's Shimi clan. Yi Zang was silent for a long time and read it several times before letting out a long sigh.
"If it weren't for the family crest on your pendant, I would have really forgotten about the Shimi family." As Izo said, he fell into memories. "It was the most difficult period for Oden-sama to unify Kuri. There was a man who claimed to be Shika. The Midea family took refuge with Oden-sama and became his civil servants. Later, with Oden-sama's various actions in Kuri, Kuri gradually became Kuri. As a military general and his retainers, we naturally don't know much about it. Politics, and the one who has been helping Oden take care of all this is the Shimi family. It’s just..."
Yi Zang looked at Youyouzi and suddenly leaned forward and bowed. Then he continued.
"Myself and the other Akakayas were ignorant of government affairs. Later, we went to sea with Oden-sama when we were young. In fact, the affairs of Kuri in Wano Country were completely handed over to the Bunchen family headed by the Shimi family."
When Yi Zang said this, the memory of Yuyouzi's body itself seemed to be evoked. Some memories from my ignorant childhood that had not been remembered came to mind.
With her eyes closed, Youyouzi sorted things out, and then continued what Yi Zang said.
"After Oden and Akama went to sea, there was no serious problem in Wano Country for a short time. However, everything changed after Kozuki Sukiyaki died. Kuri seemed to be isolated by the Flower Capital for a period of time. , and then Oden-sama did not return to the country for a long time to inherit the position of daimyo. Orochi waited for the opportunity to instigate, seek power and usurp the throne, and quickly seized the position of daimyo of Wano Country."
Saying that, Yuyuko looked directly at Izou with sharp eyes, "To say something unpleasant, Oden abandoned his responsibility as the successor of Wano Country and went to sea without any news for many years. This is the final step in Wano Country's current situation. The fundamental reason. Later, when Oden returned, the country of Wano was actually almost controlled by the Black Carbon Orochi. Even the results of the Kuriichi area were still a place where Shimi and his family had to die after many people died. The purpose... is To wait for a guy who dropped his burden and ran out of the house to play pirate games."
Speaking of this, Youyouzi even became a little angry.
Youyouzi had never thought of these things before and had no feelings about it, but when she thought that her family was actually the same group of eunuchs that the emperor was not anxious about and the eunuchs were anxious about, Youyouzi became furious.
howdareyou! !
It is not an existence without any burden, just like Princess Weiwei in the Alabasta chapter. Doesn't she want to go out to sea with Luffy? Unexpectedly, even the King of Alabasta, Neferutali Kobra, expressed respect for Weiwei's choice.
But Weiwei, a girl who had not yet taken over any government affairs, chose to stay because she knew what kind of responsibilities her status carried.
People are not born equal. Keya was once a princess of a country. She did not have responsibilities not because she did not have the heart, but because her father and brother actually shouldered her responsibilities. If it were not for Yuyuko, she would not even have survived. There is no chance.
From the moment of its birth, the royal family does not exist for itself, but for the people it rules. This is the measure of being a king.
Thinking of this place, Yuyouzi couldn't help but think of the dialogue between the three kings in Fate.
'Is the king aloof? '
Now Youyouzi finally understood the reason for that aloofness.
In the context of being subject to history, the environment, and development, the responsibilities and obligations shouldered by the king have given him the dignity he deserves.
The people of Babylon under Jin Shining's rule were not smart. Only a smart and confident king could guide the right path. His ability to cut off the handover between God and man was undoubtedly great.
Iskandar spent his whole life on the road of conquest, and the huge kingdom he left behind was so majestic. During his reign, some of his first followers did not respect him.
Arthur's kindness is an attempt to be a king. The reason for his failure is not the error of his own path, but the error of his positioning. Mercy that dares to take on everything cannot face the complexity of the human heart. When it attributes all responsibilities to itself, the defeat has already been written in history.
Oden is another extreme.
He understands the limitations of Wano and intends to go to sea to seek more possibilities. However, during the exploration, he forgets his responsibilities as the successor of the king. If he was on the final journey with Roger, Even if I returned to Wano once, the situation would not be the same.
The reason is that he forgot about Wano Country in the years after leaving Wano Country.
So many ordinary people in the Kingdom of Quanhe have achieved the results they have today because of his willfulness.
Maybe the people are ignorant, but it is precisely because of this ignorance that Oden's responsibility and status are contributed to.
And when Oden returned, the only place that could support him was Jiuli.
The people of Jiuli received his favor, and he fulfilled the responsibilities of a master during his time in Jiuli, even far exceeding the expectations of the people under his command. This is why the people of Jiuli can still support him.
However, it was too late for Wano Country.
After closing his eyes and meditating for a while, Youyouzi clearly explained his understanding to Yi Zang and Whitebeard and others behind him.
For a while, a group of people fell into deep thought.
The first one to speak was Whitebeard. He sighed and shook his head, "Is that true? I must be responsible. After all, I agreed with him to go to sea with him..."
Yuyuko shook her head, "Dad, don't blame yourself. What I said is actually just under the circumstances that have already happened. After all, no one would have imagined that such changes would happen to the country of Wan, and that Kaido would enter at that time. Wano is causing trouble. What I am saying is that Oden is at fault in my opinion at the moment. By the way, I will explain the reason why I dislike Oden."
"Now do you understand who I am and what I do?"
Everyone suddenly stood up, and Izo even saluted again.
"Sorry, I was too excited."
Yuyuko herself cannot afford this tribute, but those ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the Kozuki family can. Therefore Youyouzi happily accepted it.
After taking back the pendant, Yuyuko's identity and the dispute with Izo came to an end.
"Now that this matter is settled, there are some things I want to know, Dad."
At this time, Yuyuko said what she had been holding back for a long time, which was also her original intention of coming to the Whitebeard Pirates.
The text of the road sign history of Fishman Island.
[The combination of kings and emperors is actually the inevitable result of the general ignorance of the people. We cannot deny the social stability brought by the imperial power system and the development under its stability, but we must also see the constraints of imperial power on the development of society.
This article was added when I suddenly had an idea while writing it. It didn't deviate from what I originally wanted to say.
I am not a mindless critic of the feudal system. In the past, I only saw the shortcomings of feudalism. But after college, I learned to analyze problems dialectically and from multiple angles. Later, after being bombarded with various information over the years, I also developed a set of methods. It is my own understanding. Things have certain inevitability from different perspectives, history, humanities, and even some accidental factors. Many times we think with many subjective ideas, but this is it. Many things were directly rejected and hidden by me. 】
