"Shirley, is she... is she my mother?"
Yamato opened his eyes wide and asked his tearful father.
Unconsciously, her hatred for Kaido dissipated a little.
Don't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering.
The little beast in the story should be her father when he was young. Her father lost his parents when he was young, never experienced family affection, and didn't know how to face his own children.
He imprisoned himself in Onigashima when she was young, which was actually a disguised way of protecting himself.
She is the daughter of the Four Emperors Kaido. If people knew about it, it would probably cause the navy to hunt her down!
Yamato couldn't help but think of his good friend Ace, who was the son of Pirate King Roger. After being captured by the navy, he was executed at the naval base in Marineford. In the end, he and the Four Emperors Whitebeard fell forever in Marineford.
Ace is so good, why should he be executed because his father is a pirate?
That sunny boy, who was so kind and had never done anything to hurt the world, was executed by the "just" navy.

The familiar system prompt sounded in Wang Teng's ears, which surprised Wang Teng. He didn't expect that the reward for telling a story would be so generous.
"Then why did you invade Wano Country?"
Seeing that his father stopped talking, Yamato didn't ask too much about his mother.
She has been in Wano Country since she can remember, and she can hardly recall her mother's memory. Secondly, she doesn't want to evoke Kaido's sad memory, which is too sad.
"Later, I led the Beasts Pirates to the New World and made a great name for myself. But when I thought about being one of the Four Emperors and not being able to protect even my lover, I got drunk and thought about committing suicide."
"Unfortunately, I'm too strong."
"Even if I'm hanged, I can break the chains. Even if I'm put on the guillotine, I can smash the guillotine. Even if I'm stabbed by a spear, the spear will break."
"I have sunk as many as nine huge prison ships. No one has ever been able to kill me. Even if I fall from a height of tens of thousands of meters, I still can't die."
Yamato curled his lips when he heard this. It was no wonder that his father was so shameless in praising him.
However, Wang Teng ignored Yamato and continued.
"25 years ago, Kurozuki Murasaki found me and said that he could turn Wano Country into a country of weapons."
"After Shirley died, most of my heart died, so the idea at that time was to form a powerful pirate army, make money through arms trade, and finally launch an all-out war."
"That war will completely overturn the current world order, overthrow the corrupt royal power, and re-establish a new order!"
"You all know what happened later. Orochi and I teamed up to plot against Oden, took control of the entire Wano Country, and established a weapons factory based in Wano Country."
"It was the corruption of the Kozuki family that gave us the opportunity. If the Kozuki family hadn't allowed the development of Orochi and me, and had been lax in the management of the country, how could we have the opportunity to usurp the country?"
"Kozuki Oden is an admirable samurai, but not a qualified king. A monarch who goes to sea impulsively, disregards his own country, trusts pirates, is indecisive, and gives up when threatened, has no political sense at all."
"What's even more ridiculous is that he made his people suffer for 20 years in vain, leaving the future of the founding of the country to a prophecy. What if Orochi and I leave Wano Country? There will be other pirates occupying it."
"Over the years, although I have locked you up on Onigashima for ten days and nights and often beat you, I have never thought of harming you. I hope that one day when I am no longer in this world, you can survive with your own strength."
"Otherwise, do you think I don't know that the samurai gave you food in the cave and taught you the words in Oden's logbook? As long as I want, my observation Haki can see every corner of Onigashima."
Yamato's face changed when she heard this. Oden's logbook has always been treasured by her. It was the only light of her childhood.
In the time when she suffered from Kaido's brilliance, the logbook was her only hope to survive. She always wanted to see the magnificent world described by Oden, but his father deprived him of all his freedom.
Twenty years ago, she awakened the domineering Haki. Just because he expressed his desire to become Oden in front of his father, Kaido imprisoned him in the cave of the "Sacred Cave" on Onigashima.
All the prisoners in the Sacred cave were the warriors of Wano who rebelled against their father.
The young girl was hungry and scared in the dark cave, because her father was the murderer of Oden, and the master of these warriors was Oden.
However, the warriors of Wano did not kill Yamato, and even gave the only food in the cave to Yamato. In the end, the warriors used their lives to send Yamato out to the cave.
When Kaido's men reported that Yamato survived the "Sacred" cave, there was not much joy on Yamato's face.
All the warriors who were good to her died!
"Why don't you let those warriors go? They are all very good people!"
Yamato burst into tears. It was from this incident that she and her father turned against each other.
"It's just a matter of success and failure. I once gave them a chance."
Wang Teng's eyes were cold. Although Kaido valued talent, he also understood the principle of letting the tiger go back to the mountain. If he couldn't use them, he would have to kill them.
"Given a chance?"
"Yes, I gave them a chance at that time. As long as they surrendered to me, I would let them live. They chose to live and die with the Kingdom of Peace. I just respected their choice. You were there at that time, you won't forget it!"
"Besides, I also gave you many chances."
Wang Teng looked into Yamato's eyes and continued.
"Give me a chance? What chance did you give me?"
Yamato smiled. Over the years, she has been alone and lived under the shadow of fear of Kaido.
She used to have friends, but they were brutally killed by Kaido's men.
The only samurai who treated her well also died at Kaido's hands.
"Maybe what I did was wrong in the past."
"But you are my daughter, my only heir. What's wrong with me wanting to train you to be the general of Wano Country?"
"But what about you! You worship Oden just by reading a diary and Oden's execution, and you keep emphasizing that you are "Oden"!"
"Who is Oden? He is my enemy, and you are my daughter, but you want to betray me and help my enemy. Do you think I should kill you?"
"But I didn't kill you. On the contrary, I gave you a chance to reflect on yourself. My subordinates have always called you young master. Don't you understand my intentions?"
"You have challenged me for so many years, and I have never killed you once. Even if you ate that devil fruit, I was just unhappy with you and didn't have any murderous intentions towards you, but you have challenged my bottom line again and again."
"It's nothing that you worship Oden. Even if you call yourself a man, I respect your choice. I have always called you "son" over the years."
"But you shouldn't call yourself Oden. Carrying the name of Oden is no joke."
"Since you intend to bear the name of Oden, you must be prepared for war! So, are you willing to die for this country?"
Wang Teng looked at Yamato coldly, his eyes revealing a chilling murderous intent.
