Chapter 278, Year 1495 of the Sea Calendar
"Waaaa! Waaaaa..."
The loud cry of a baby echoed under the clear sky.
As the New World Seas gradually enter a period of peace, Kozuki Oden's son, Kozuki Momonosuke, is born as if by destiny.
The circumstances surrounding his birth can be traced back to after the conclusion of the World Martial Arts Tournament.
As is widely known, the World Martial Arts Tournament was the largest ever to be broadcast live worldwide.
This live broadcast not only brought a huge shock to people all over the world, but also allowed countless people to accurately recognize the powerful figures on the high seas today.
Kozuki Oden, despite being extremely unpopular with the Beasts and failing to reach the top 16 in the World Martial Arts Tournament.
However, his unpopularity and weakness are only relative.
From another perspective, Kozuki Oden can at least be considered a top-tier powerhouse ranked 32nd in the world today.
Moreover, people do die in the World Martial Arts Tournament, and considering Kozuki Oden's fighting performance, it wasn't actually that bad. Ranking him in the top 20 shouldn't be a big problem.
In addition, there's the tragic character of Kozuki Oden, whose homeland was occupied by the Beasts, and who made a promise with Kaido to reclaim his country at the World Martial Arts Tournament, but ultimately failed.
This earned him a huge following worldwide.
It was an ordinary night, and the Moby Dick was docked near an island.
Kozuki Oden, having failed to reclaim Wano Country, once again drowned his sorrows in alcohol at a tavern, as usual.
Whitebeard wanted to advise Kozuki Oden, but Oden was only drinking and hadn't done anything outrageous, so he didn't know how to persuade him.
As expected, Kozuki Oden, who was determined to drown his sorrows in alcohol, got drunk again that night, just like always.
The Whitebeard Pirates had already left the tavern, and he was the last to depart.
Emerging from the tavern, Kozuki Oden staggered toward the Moby Dick.
He fell several times during the process, but got up each time.
In a daze, a pair of warm little hands supported his arm.
A gentle female voice followed.
Are you Kozuki Oden?
"I... am... hiccup... Who... who are you?"
In the past, if someone had gotten this close to him silently, even if Kozuki Oden was drunk, he would have used Life Return immediately to expel the alcohol from his body and regain his senses.
However, Kozuki Oden was currently so drunk that he couldn't pull himself out of it, so even though his vision was blurry, he could only barely make out the shape of a woman.
In a daze, it seemed to resemble the Tengetsu I had seen before.
So, his hand naturally went around the woman's shoulder.
Who I am is not important.
A gentle female voice answered.
"As for you, how are you going to get back to the ship in this state? Just come to my house, rest for the night, and you can go back to the pirate crew tomorrow..."
And so, Kozuki Oden was helped back to her home by a woman.
Marco silently followed the rooftops of buildings not far away.
Marco's young face immediately flushed red when the woman took off her own clothes and helped Kozuki Oden undo his loincloth.
Marco peeked a few more times, still not entirely sure, and after confirming that the story was indeed unfolding as he had guessed, he returned to the Moby Dick, his face flushed.
After reporting the matter to Whitebeard, a strange look flashed in Whitebeard's eyes.
"That's fine. Oden needs an outlet for his emotions; he can't stay drunk all the time."
After thinking for a moment, the white-bearded man said in a deep voice:
"Besides, Oden is almost at the age where he should get married. Let's go meet that woman tomorrow, if she's willing..."
And so, this woman became Kozuki Oden's wife, and in 1494, after Yamato was born, she successfully gave birth to Momonosuke.
As for Kozuki Oden's despondency.
Actually, he had already put his worries behind him after waking up that morning.
It's not so bad that Kaido took over Wano Country.
He never wanted to be a general; his life's pursuit was to go on sea adventures.
Moreover, after that night, Kozuki Oden accidentally discovered that he seemed to be quite popular all over the world.
Thus, Kozuki Oden completely shook off the negative state of his defeat in the World Martial Arts Tournament and returned to his usual carefree self.
at the same time.
The Roger Pirates shortly after the World Martial Arts Tournament ended.
Roger also discovered, by sheer chance, that he had unknowingly contracted a terminal illness.
"Thankfully, Kaido started the World Martial Arts Tournament relatively early; if it had been a few months later..."
Roger smiled with relief.
Although I didn't really win the title of number one in the world, isn't being number two in the world pretty good too?
Moreover, Kaido hasn't been to the final island yet. If I arrive at the final island before Kaido, wouldn't that mean I've surpassed Kaido?
With this in mind, Roger continued his adventure.
"Next stop, we need to go to Ohara in the West Sea..."
Several months later, before Yamato was born.
The Roger Pirates arrived at Ohara.
Here, they successfully found a scholar who could translate ancient texts.
Furthermore, Roger generously told the scholars of Ohara about the Red History Text.
Therefore, after the Roger Pirates left Ohara, Dr. Clover once again began organizing a fleet for sea exploration.
This time, with Roger's intelligence leak, the scholars of O'Hara became even more enthusiastic about exploring the historical truth of the blank 100 years.
As time has passed and Kaido has arranged for the construction of the Beast Academy, the Ohara expedition team has finally completed its preparations.
A ship full of Ohara scholars, driven by a desire to uncover the truth of history, resolutely embarked on this voyage.
Let's get back to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Shortly after Momonosuke's birth, they encountered a boy named Teach.
After his repeated kneeling pleas, Whitebeard took in the child as he would any other adopted son.
Meanwhile, in the distant land of Wano.
Because Kaido has been busy with things in the Whole Cake Island archipelago all these years, Wano Country has basically been left to its own devices.
Kozuki Sukiyaki, who was then the shogun of Wano Country, learned from a live broadcast that Kozuki Oden's plan to reclaim Wano Country had failed, and his health deteriorated.
Finally, I fell ill today.
With the shogun critically ill, the daimyo of Wano Country were thrown into chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kurozumi Orochi completed his plan to replace the shogun with a tanuki and successfully inherited the position of shogun of Wano Country.
When everything settled down and Orochi sent people to pay tribute to Kaido, Kaido finally understood the whole story.
Kaido didn't seem to care much about this.
They're just a bunch of clowns.
Moreover, since the Beasts have been stationed in Wano Country for so long, apart from a few Wano Country people like Hazuki Kojiro, most Wano Country people have never been very friendly to them.
This is actually a major reason why Kaido has never completely taken over Wano Country.
"Let Orochi wreak havoc for a few years first, and let the people of Wano Country experience what it means to be in dire straits."
Having made his decision, Kaido accepted the tribute offered by Kurozumi Orochi and made a statement to him.
Let him sit in the general's seat with peace of mind.
As long as he himself is not ousted by the people of Wano Country, the Beasts don't care whether the shogun of Wano Country is surnamed Kozuki or Kurozumi.
Overjoyed to receive a positive reply, Orochi felt a huge weight lifted from his heart and began to enjoy the various privileges that the Shogun of Wano Country possessed.
Time slips away quickly without us even realizing it.
In the blink of an eye, it was the year 1495 of the Haiyuan Calendar.
The Beast Academy was officially established on New Aure Island.
To commemorate this event, Kaido officially named the new island Academy Island.
Morgans gave this matter extensive publicity in his World Economic News.
The response from all over the world was enthusiastic, and a large number of people came to witness the opening ceremony of the academy.
However, due to their fear of the beasts and concerns about whether pirates could run a school properly, not many outsiders inquired about enrollment.
Therefore, although Kaido publicly declared that Beast Academy would accept students from any faction or race, the first class of students at Beast Academy were still mainly the children of the Beast Pirates themselves.
For example, there's Irene, who's nine and a half years old this year; the three Katakuri brothers, who are nine years old; and the children born to Kaido's maids, including Melize, Galette, and Poval, who are only six years old; as well as Brulee and a group of others.
They studied alongside the children of 12-year-old Shanks, Buggy, 15-year-old Bege, Weevil, and other members of the Beasts Pirates.
After settling the children at the Beast Academy, Kaido finally had some free time, except for needing to discipline them with his spiked club every now and then.
Open the system inventory and take out the permanent pointer that you obtained from the Lox legacy.
Years later, he hadn't really looked up the addresses on those pointers.
The reasons are varied; some are too busy to look for the fruit, while others often forget about it when they have free time.
Now, Kaido finally remembered, and indeed had the free time, to search for the Devil Fruits represented by these permanent pointers.
However, Kaido, who was about to set off, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Why should I insist on going to find it myself?
As we all know, Devil Fruits possess their own will.
For those who have already eaten Devil Fruits, they will not appear in front of them on their own. They will only appear in front of those who do not have Devil Fruit abilities but still have a strong desire for something.
Therefore, Kaido made his decision after a moment's thought.
"Let's give it as a graduation prize to the Beast Academy! Let's award it to the top-performing students in the first graduating class!"
"Machima, please write this down so that I don't forget about it in the future."
Machima, dressed in a jet-black office lady uniform, nodded slightly.
Then, Kaido took out the Devil Fruit that Korin had given to Irene.
Zoan type, Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Dragon form!
This fruit was specifically given to Irene by Karin, and Kaido would never give it to anyone else.
"But how should we strengthen it..."
As he muttered to himself, Kaido pulled out another Devil Fruit.
Paramecia type - Bonus Devil Fruit.
This is the Devil Fruit that Olga bought with her own money at the train auction.
Olga originally bought it out of interest, but later, not knowing who to give it to, she handed it over to Kaido.
In response, Kaido not only reimbursed her for the money she had spent on the Devil Fruit, but also gave her an extra bonus.
Now, this fruit also needs a good owner.
"Who in the pirate crew hasn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet?"
