I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Yamato and Ace are indeed good friends. They both don't want to recognize their biological father, and only want to recognize other people (cats) as their fathers...

After seeing what the other party was thinking, Xie Wen scratched his head speechlessly, then looked at Kaido, who was so comfortable that he squinted his eyes and turned over his belly under Shirahoshi's skillful technique.

"Kaido, what do you think?"

"Meow?"

(=w=)

Kaido opened his eyes and tilted his head in confusion, "You should make the decision on this matter, Blue Star. Why are you asking me?"

"That's naturally because..."

Xie Wen's eyes moved back and forth between Kaido and Yamato several times, and then he rubbed his brows and helplessly pointed out Yamato's thoughts: "This guy probably wants to find fatherly love from you..."

"……Meow?!"

"Eh?!!"

"Wow--"

"Pfft, cough, cough..."

"Brother Kaido is going to be a father, meow? Great!"

The people and cats present expressed their shock in different ways, and then cast their curious and surprised glances at Yamato. Even the blind Yixiao opened his eyelids in surprise and looked over with his white eyeballs.

Yamato, whose thoughts were revealed by Xie Wen, not only did not feel embarrassed or want to make excuses, but he admitted it with confidence.

"That's right! Compared to that bull-headed gorilla who wanted to kill me several times, Kaido who stood up for me is more like my father!"

"But……"

(=w=)

Kaido, meow, didn't expect that just because he said a few words because he couldn't stand Kaido's behavior, Yamato would want to "recognize the cat as his father". He scratched his ears helplessly, "I'm not even thirty years old now, you may be older than me, meow..."

"Eh--?!"

Yamato also didn't expect that this big Maine, who looked majestic in appearance and mature and steady in temperament, was actually so young.

Now things are really awkward.

Fortunately, Xie Wen came to the rescue in time.

"Ahem... Since we can't be father and daughter, being brother and sister or elder sister and younger brother is also possible."

Although Kaido did not express his opinion explicitly, it was obvious that he still cared about Yamato, "Kaido's daughter", so Xie Wen did not refuse Yamato's joining.

Anyway, she won't shout that she wants to be Kozuki Oden all the time, so all she needs to do is let Kaido, the "guardian cat", educate her slowly...

Who hasn’t had a time to chase stars?

“Eh? Brother?” Yamato struggled for a while, but still insisted: “But I still want to recognize him as my father!”

Do you really want to find a cat daddy?

Xie Wen looked at Yamato who had a determined look on his face speechlessly, and complained silently in his heart.

However, this is consistent with the setting that people in the pirate world are almost all stubborn.

"No meow! This is too weird!"

(`w≡`w)

But Kaido Meowth refused to agree and shook his head to refuse.

"Hey~ why not?"

(Cottage)

The dark-hearted Huiyuan Meow covered her mouth and chuckled, "In this way, won't she have to call us aunt or auntie, meow?"

"Okay, okay! Klee wants to be an aunt too!"

(=＞＜=)

Under the instigation of Yamato who refused to change his mind and a group of little cats who were just trying to watch the fun, Kaido finally had to accept this "daughter" who was about the same age as him.

Of course, the little cats didn’t really become aunts, but just as Xie Wen said – each had their own way.

"Great!"

After the dust settled, Yamato immediately cheered and jumped into Kaido's furry body, shouting "Father, Father" non-stop...

The speed of getting into the role is quite fast.

It was Shirahoshi, who had been petting the big cat just now, who pouted unhappily.

"I haven't finished combing Brother Kaido's hair yet! Sister Yamato, please don't disturb us!"

The slightly jealous mermaid princess twisted her body while holding Big Maine and snatched him back from Yamato's arms.

"I can help too!"

Yamato hesitated for a moment, but still pounced on Shirahoshi to compete for her favor... She finally felt the fatherly love from Kaido's cat, and having been deprived of emotional love for a long time, she naturally didn't have the mood to take care of her "little" sister.

"What are you guys playing? Klee wants to play too!"

(=＞＜=)

The little rag doll who loved to join in the fun saw this scene and couldn't help but jump in. Then the other little cats were also drawn in and made a mess with Kaido cat as the center.

"Hmm... Looks like Kaido will have a headache in the future."

A gloating smile appeared on Xie Wen's face.

He has experienced this kind of scene many times. After all, Xie Wen's Kato Cat Hand is as attractive to cats as catnip and cat toys. Otherwise, he would not have always wanted to get the ability of the Clone Fruit.

Now, finally there is someone... no... a cat who can understand my hard work!

Xie Wen watched happily for a while as they frantically dealt with Yamato and Shirahoshi, as well as the other small cats like Klee who came to join in the fun. Then, several other members of the Nine Red Scabbards, including Denjiro and Kozuki Hiyori, finally finished their work and returned with "Yanma", one of the twenty-one great swords that they had promised to give to Xie Wen.

Coming back with them was an old man wearing a Tengu mask, a pair of huge wings on his back, and wearing wooden clogs like stilts.

By the way, Kozuki Hiyori escaped from the pursuit of the beasts at the beginning, so it was impossible for her to carry any samurai swords with her. In the comics, "Yanma" and "Ame-no-Habakiri" were always kept in the hands of Kozuki Sukiyaki, who used the alias Tenguyama Hichetsu...

From this point of view, Hiyori has most likely been connected with "Tenguyama Hichetsu" for a long time, but she probably doesn't know that this person is her grandfather.

After all, in the original comics, Kozuki Sukiyaki did not recognize other people even after Kaido was defeated by Luffy. It seemed that he had made up his mind not to care about Wano Country that was defeated by him... No wonder Kozuki Oden gave up his position as general and went to sea without saying a word. This is all genetic.

Of course, in the comics, the grandson Kozuki Momonosuke inherited the position of shogun. As the king of a fallen country in the previous generation, it is understandable that he no longer shows up.

But now Kozuki Momonosuke has not come back from twenty years ago, so what choice will this former general make?

Xie Wen looked at "Tenguyama Hiche" with interest, but because of the mask, he couldn't see his specific expression. The only thing he could see was that the other party was also looking at him through the mask.

The reason why Kozuki Sukiyaki followed along had little to do with "Yanma" but was mainly because of Xie Wen's evaluation of Kozuki Oden...

Denjiro's plan to unite the samurai to discuss the position of shogun first did not go smoothly. More people than they imagined did not want the Kozuki clan to inherit the position of shogun.

In addition to Xie Wen's words, another reason is that the performance of the generals of the Kozuki clan in recent generations has not been very good.

There is no need to say much about Kozuki Sukiyaki and Kozuki Oden. Going back one generation, Kozuki Sukiyaki's father was almost deprived of his position as shogun by the then Daimyo Kurozumi.

No one mentioned it before because no one seemed to have thought about replacing the general, but with Xie Wen's "reminder", these old things were dug up.

For Sukiyaki, who has already changed his identity, whether the Kozuki clan will inherit the position of shogun is not so important. However, like Denjiro, he cannot be sure that Xie Wenzhen has no idea about Wano Country. The comment that "degrades" Kozuki Oden may be a test and layout.

After all, Kozuki Sukiyaki knew about the existence of the ancient weapon "Pluto", and he also knew Nico Robin. It would be abnormal if he didn't make some associations.

It was precisely because of this that he followed here on purpose, just to confirm Xie Wen’s true thoughts.

In fact, Xie Wen himself did not expect that because of his momentary nonsense, Wano Country would still be in a state of chaos and division even after Kaido was driven away...

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care much. After all, this was all done by the Kozuki family themselves, and Xie Wen was just telling a few truths.
