Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

Then,

They wanted to obtain monster cells to enhance their strength and take revenge on Blackbeard.

There's only one way!

That means joining the Beasts Guild.

With their strength comparable to the criminals of Level 6 in Impel Down, Kaido of the Beasts and that Fifth Emperor Luo Xing would certainly welcome their arrival with great enthusiasm.

The freak cells certainly wouldn't be stingy with the rewards bestowed upon "560".

but.

But the White Crew and the Beast Crew have always had a grudge!

Not to mention the friction between the old man and Kaido back on Rocks' ship.

Just consider that Kozuki Oden, who was regarded as a younger brother by his father and as a partner by Marco and others, died at the hands of Kaido. This is an obstacle that can never be overcome!

How could they possibly side with the enemy who killed Oden?

The first to vehemently oppose it was Izo, the captain of the 16th Division and a retainer of Oden.

Izang excitedly shouted:

"No, absolutely not! How can we side with that bastard Kaido! Lord Oden's revenge is still pending!"

It's not just Oden's grudge,

Izo also knew that many of the samurai hiding inside Wano Country had also been killed by the Beast Pirates.

Like Ashura Doji, who was also one of his retainers.

In particular, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi from Zou are said to have been personally poisoned by that despicable Fifth Emperor Luo Xing!

There is no doubt that Zang and the Hundred Beasts Group, as well as Luo Xing, have an irreconcilable feud.

There is absolutely no way he would ever side with the Beasts Clan!

Hearing Izang's vehement opposition, the other team leaders also fell silent.

Vista sighed and said:

“Oden was also our former comrade, the brother Father cherished most. We certainly cannot side with his enemy.”

Marco and the other captains all silently agreed.

Seeing this, Joz clenched his fists and roared:

"Monster cells are our only hope! We must avenge Oden, but what about the avenge of Uncle, Ace, and Thatch?!"

According to Joz.

Kozuki Oden was indeed a partner, and they shared a happy and wonderful adventure together.

but,

Comparing Oden to his father is completely incomparable!

My father's importance far surpasses that of Kozuki Oden!

Not to mention,

We should also include Ace and Sachi!

Are the three of them—Old Man, Ace, and Thatch—not as good as Kozuki Oden?

Joz's question left everyone speechless.

Even the most vehemently opposed Yizang could only blush and remain silent in rebuttal.

Joz continued:

“Oden died fighting for his country, and in the years before his death he never asked us for help.”

"His defeat to Kaido was actually a fair fight between pirates, which is extremely common on this sea."

Kozuki Oden did not return to Wano Country; he was quickly killed by Kaido and Orochi.

He actually lived for several more years.

however,

Faced with the formidable enemy Kaido, Oden did not seek help from Whitebeard or Roger.

This shows that Oden wanted to fight Kaido alone.

To outsiders,

This is a fair one-on-one battle between pirates.

Therefore, it is quite normal for Oden to die as a result.

On the sea.

Every moment, pirates die in duels like this.

Izang couldn't help but say:

"But Lord Oden was killed by Kaido and Orochi using despicable means; it wasn't a completely fair duel!"

Izo, a retainer of the Oden family,

I already knew the whole story of Kozuki Oden's death from Nekomamushi and Inuarashi.

This includes the years when Oden was deceived by Orochi and performed the naked dance.

The team leaders of the White Team already knew about these things.

Joz said:

“It is true that Oden was defeated because he was distracted, but…”

Joz paused for a moment, and finally spoke the words that had been on his mind for more than a decade.

"Let me be frank, Oden's death was largely due to his own stupidity!"

Why would he be so naive as to believe Orochi's lies?

"And why didn't he ask us for help when he was in dire straits? Didn't he consider us his companions?"

Izang was instantly enraged, glaring fiercely at Jozu:

"You...you, how dare you speak of Lord Oden like that! You actually called Lord Oden stupid?!"

Anyone with a normal mind could see Oden's stupidity.

Now that Joz had spoken his mind, he stopped pretending and said directly:

"Izang, don't think I'm being harsh; it's obvious..."

"If you don't believe me, ask Marco, Vista, and the other captains. Don't they all think Oden's actions were incredibly unwise?"

Izang immediately looked at Marco, Vista, and the others.

"Do you all think Lord Oden is foolish?"

The captains' expressions immediately became somewhat awkward.

They had secretly discussed Oden's death without Izo's knowledge.

A consensus was reached.

Just as Joz just said.

Oden's tragic end was largely due to his own folly.

If he were even slightly smarter, he would have sent a request for help to the White Group or Roger's Group.

Wano Country wouldn't be like it is now.

Although no one spoke, it was clearly a tacit agreement.

Izang was furious, gritted his teeth, and wanted to say something harsh.

But in the end, they were powerless to give up.

In fact.

He himself surely thought that Lord Oden was really, really out of his mind.

After all, Izo was a companion he had spent decades with, and Jozu couldn't bear to hurt him too much.

He said comfortingly:

"Regardless of the reason, Oden ultimately died at Kaido's hands, and this is a hurdle we can't overcome."

Izang was somewhat confused.

All that Jozu said was just to persuade him and everyone else to join the Beast Pirates, wasn't it?

Why are you suddenly saying you can't get over Oden's death?

"I mean--"

Joz explained:

　3.7 “We are not going to join Kaido of the Beasts, but only to join that Fifth Emperor Luo Xing.”
