Chapter 260: Being People's Shield
Although people didn't believe her instantly, doubts had taken place in their minds. Yamato was made to shut up by Beast Pirates member but she angrily told them that she would join the Kozuki family and fulfill his wish of opening the country.
Some people in the crowd started prostrating and pleaded, "SHOGUN OROCHI, PLEASE END THIS PUNISHMENT. PLEASE!"
But to their shock filled faces, they received an arrow to their chests.
The crowd instantly understood they had messed up. That there was no hope for Wano. The people realized this while the subordinates of Kaido and Orochi surrounded them with weapons in hand.
The reasons for Oden's strange actions these last 5 years were quickly communicated to all across Wano. Long-distance message arrows were shot towards every village in the country to spread the word in an instant.
By that point, the oil in the pot was heated over 700 degrees and it kept rising. Even the retainers of Oden that he was carrying just realized the truth behind their lord's strange behavior.
People started to shout, "THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING US!!"
Oden Final announced his last wish to his people. "If I survive this scalding, I would like to open this country."
Oden told everyone that a long time ago, the Kozuki clan sank the country from the outside world to protect it from a gigantic power. He told them that the world is waiting for a particular individual who will appear traversing through 800 years of time and they must be a country that can welcome and support him/her.
