Chapter 254 Revenge for Kozuki Oden
Chapter 254 Revenge for Kozuki Oden
"What do you mean by this?" Shanks stood up and stopped in front of Profik, his left hand already pressed on the handle of the knife. If there is any disagreement, they will make gestures.
If you were to talk about him alone, Shanks wouldn't necessarily feel angry given his character. But if it involves Captain Roger, whom he respects most, then Shanks must speak up.
"Since you don't want to avenge Kozuki Oden, then why are you trying to be a hero here?!"
Profik pushed Shanks away and said coldly.
That's right, the fact that Kozuki Oden was killed by Kaido was the "bait" he used to lure Shanks into taking the bait.
He was betting that as a former crew member of the Roger Pirates, the relationship between Shanks and Kozuki Oden was really as deep as Oda painted. He is betting that Shanks is not really unwilling to avenge Oden, but because Wano Country is geographically isolated and does not know the situation.
Apparently, he made the right bet.
"Uncle Oden?" Upon hearing Kozuki Oden's name, Shanks immediately recalled that amiable uncle who always smiled.
"What's wrong, Uncle Oden?"
"Kozuki Oden is dead, killed by Kaido!"
"What?!" Shanks' face was no longer calm. Several different emotions, including disbelief, anger, and murderous intent, appeared on his face at the same time. "How is this possible?!"
Of course Shanks knew about Kaido's occupation of Onigashima. Although the waters of Wano Country were closed, it wasn't like the slightest bit of news could not be spread. At least, the fact that Kaido is entrenched near Wano is not a secret to the great pirates and the world government in the new world.
But he didn't know much about Kozuki Oden's current situation. In the opinion of most of the old members of Roger's group, with Kozuki Oden's strength, even if he cannot defeat Kaido, he can still protect himself. What's more, if Oden encounters any trouble, he can always come to him for help. Whether it's the Whitebeard Pirates or the "remnants" of the Roger Pirates, they can be regarded as strong soldiers. Even if Kaido cannot be killed, there is no problem at all in saving Oden.
Therefore, they felt that since they had not received any news from Oden, there was a high probability that he had reached some agreement with Kaido and used Kaido's power to protect Wano. After all, they all know the sensitivity of Wano, and it is difficult to protect this country without strong power.
Although Kaido's "character" is questionable, since it was Oden who made the "decision", it's hard for them, old friends, to say anything. As long as they are ready to take action in time when Oden needs it.
In this regard, Profik could only say that the remnants of the Roger Pirates still think too normal. As for His Highness Oden, his brain circuit is obviously different from ordinary people. People with normal brain circuits would never be able to do such things as dancing naked on the streets of their own country, causing everyone to betray their relatives, and then die alone.
"Things are not as simple as you think..."
Profic originally wanted to say, "You think too highly of that 'foolish highness'", but in order to prevent Shanks from cutting himself off before going to seek revenge on Kaido, he still had some moral integrity. .
Then, he briefly introduced to Shanks what he learned about the Wano incident. Of course, when speaking, in order to maintain Oden's "glorious image", he deliberately lowered his voice. As for whether Lucky Lu and Beckman heard it or not, that was not his concern.
Shanks was "dumbfounded" when he heard this. It seemed that even with Shanks's straightforwardness, he could not imagine that the "great hero" Kozuki Oden would be killed by Kaido in such a way.
"How do you know these things?"
Beckman asked doubtfully as he lit a cigarette. For a "wise man" like Beckman, Kozuki Oden's deeds are more like a novelist's account than a true story. Anyway, he didn't quite believe that someone could do such a weird thing.
On the other hand, the country of Wano is notoriously isolated. Most of the pirates from all over the world, and even the Grand Route, don’t even know the specific situation of the country of Wano. There are very few who even know the country of Wano. . And Profik, a pirate from the South China Sea who had only been at sea for less than a year, actually explained the situation in Wano so clearly.
This had to make Beckman wonder whether Profic had simply made up a story and wanted to use the red-haired pirates as gunmen.
This is the "division of labor" within the Red-Haired Pirates. As the captain, Shanks is "unreliable", and the deputy captain, Beckman, has to be more "considerate" to prevent his own captain from being taken advantage of.
Profic explained: "My special Haki of knowledge can randomly obtain various information. I named this ability 'Apocalypse'. Information about Wano Country and Kozuki Oden, as well as about you What happened to the captain on Roger the Pirate King's ship was all revealed to me by Apocalypse. In other words, it was God who guided me to know all of this..."
"As for the 'special sight color', I think Roger should also be the owner of this ability. You can find out just by asking Shanks afterwards."
"No matter what, Mr. Oden's revenge must be avenged!" Shanks opened his eyes wide and said decisively. He confirmed this matter as the captain of the red-haired pirates, "I promise to form an alliance with you!"
Shanks held out his hand, and Profik held it tightly.
The "Red Haired Pirates" and "Dawn" officially formed the "Pirate Alliance".
"About Kozuki Oden... we will verify it." Beckman crossed his arms across his chest and said warily, "But no matter what, you have to know that bringing down Kaido is not an easy task. If we act rashly, we may lose more than we gain."
"Don't worry about this, I won't act rashly." Profic nodded. He must pay enough attention to Beckman's words. What's more, what Beckman said does make sense. And Profic has never been radical enough to believe that the current "Dawn" and "Red Hair Pirates" alone are enough to defeat Kaido and the "Beasts Pirates".
In his plan, the red-haired pirates were just one of the many allies in the crusade against Kaido. "Whitebeard, one of the four emperors, has an old relationship with Kozuki Oden, and he is a righteous man. The reason why he has not taken action now is, It's just because I don't know the specific situation of Wano Country; the two current leaders of the fur clan who have lived on 'Zou' for generations, Neko Viper and Inuarashi, are Oden's retainers. If they attack Kaido, these two people will definitely be willing to take the lead. "Lao Lei, the coater of the Chambord Islands, is actually the 'Pirate King's right arm' - 'Pluto' Silbaz Rayleigh. He is also someone we can fight for..."
Profic kept explaining his plan to Shanks, and his performance made Beckman even more afraid - this ability called "Apocalypse" is simply omnipotent. He secretly warned himself that he must be more careful when dealing with Profik, because he was likely to hold some of the most confidential information in his hands.
