One Piece: My Spirit

"20 years?"

Kuina murmured and repeated this sentence: "Does this mean that the next year is exactly the time mentioned in this prophecy poem?"

"Yes, next year happens to be the '20-year period' mentioned in this prophecy poem." At this point, Charles paused and continued: "So, Kuina, do you believe in this prophecy?"

Kuina shook her head: "I don't believe in prophecy, I only believe in myself, but I think I can take advantage of it."

In Kuina's view, Tianyueshi's prophecy was too illusory, more like the last struggle of "deliberately leaving a curse on the black charcoal snake after knowing that he would die", and it could only serve as a shock to the heart.

If it was Kuina, she would not believe it at all. After all, she had heard too many such words from those nobles and pirates in the past few years, and she was almost cocooned.

It's just resentment and resentment towards oneself after failure.

Although Kuina wouldn't believe it, it might as well be that Kuina can use this to 'make use of the topic'.

But Koshiro on the side, compared to the prophecy poem itself, he is more concerned about the orphan of the "Kozuki family" mentioned by Charles.

However, there was one thing in what Charles said just now that caught Koshiro's attention: "Char, is the Tianyue family you mentioned just now the 'Tianyue family'?"

"If it's not wrong, it should be."

"Tianyue Family"

When Koshiro mentioned the "Tianyue family", the look on his face seemed a little strange, and at the same time he fell into thinking. After a while, Koshiro said as if he had made up his mind:

"Originally, if the bloodline of the 'Kozuki family' had been cut off, then Kaido and Kurotan Orochi would only need to be expelled from Wano Country, but since the bloodline of the 'Kozuki family' still exists, then this bloodline cannot be cut off. We must set things right."

really
Charles sighed inwardly, he still chose the most troublesome path.

"Master Koshiro, I would like to ask a question here, if the only remaining heir of the 'Kozuki family' is unable to bear the heavy responsibility, or if it is not the choice of the wise king, how will you choose?"

Charles raised a very sharp question. Generally speaking, as long as it is of orthodox blood, there is no reason to question it. Does it depend on talent?No, the emphasis is still on 'lineage'!
If it was in the Wano country, Shire's words were extremely outrageous, enough to be convicted, and even asked to commit suicide!
Kuina also thought the same, or she hated this kind of bloodline supremacy.

In other words, from the beginning, she hated such "natural" things very much, just like girls can't become great swordsmen. This kind of preconceived and fixed thinking made Guina naturally feel resistant.

Koshiro seemed to have never thought about this issue, and at the same time, he also vaguely noticed that Shire and Kuina felt repulsed by this "natural" thing.

But for Koshiro, it is common sense that the "Shogun" of Wano Country is inherited by the "Kozuki Family".

Therefore, Koshiro and others have somewhat of a contradiction. They have the courage to resist the "General"'s ban and leave Wano Country, but at the same time, some deep-rooted things cannot be changed.

"In any case, the 'Shogun' can only be inherited by the 'Kozuki family', this is the unchanging law of the Wano country for generations, although the Kurotan family succeeded in their rebellion, they also failed to gain the approval of the people of the entire country.

Perhaps the heirs of the 'Guangyue family' cannot take on this important task, but this is not the reason for denying it.

I understand your thoughts very well, but this is the "rule" of this country. Compared with ability, the people are more willing to believe in "Guangyue's orthodoxy", because this is already engraved into the instinct of everyone born in this land. What can be done is to try to cultivate their son's talents and support, not deny it.

And to restore Wano country, I think not only need to rely on external forces, but also need the people of Wano country to work together to resist, and the "Kozuki orthodoxy" is an important factor in commanding Wano country's internal forces. On the contrary, if this "orthodoxy" is denied, it also denies the meaning of Wano country's existence.

So. No matter how unwilling I am to admit and criticize, but the reality is like this, 'Guangyue Orthodox' is not only because of identity reasons, but more importantly. He is the country's 'belief and symbol'! "

Koshiro's words can be regarded as expressing his true views on Wano Country and the Kozuki family.

As for 'Guangyue Orthodoxy', he is not in his control, nor can it be changed by his or Shire, Kuina and other people's will.
It can be said that "Kozuki Orthodoxy" is a spiritual symbol of Wano Country, which is one of the reasons why Kurotan Orochi has been pursuing the remnants of the Kozuki family and de-"Kozuki Transformation" for so many years. In addition to fear of revenge, what is more important is the significance of the word "Orthodoxy" to the people of Wano Country!
Once the spirit of believing in Kozuki is gone, these people will also lose their only courage and reason to resist. Heitan Orochi sees this very clearly!
To put it bluntly, even if Kaido's Beast Pirates are successfully expelled from Wano Country, if there is no "Kozuki Orthodoxy", the country will be like this. Whether it is ruled by Kuitan Orochi or others, it will be meaningless, because the "roots" of this country have been scattered!
This is why Koshiro believes that "Kozuki's orthodoxy" is an unchangeable premise. This is not only a belief of a nation, but also a kind of sadness.

After listening silently, Kuina didn't say a word, just nodded and said 'I understand', then got up and left the room.

Seeing this, Koshiro also sighed: "Let's stop here for now, I will discuss it with my father and others later."

Koshiro paused for a moment and then continued, "Then Kuina is begging you."

Ciel understood the meaning of Koshiro's words, nodded his head, bid farewell to Koshiro, and then left the room.

When only Koshiro is left in the room, come over for a while, another door in the room opens
"Father, you have heard it just now."

Shimotsuki Kozaburo nodded, and at the same time looked at the direction where Kuina left just now and sighed: "Guina has really grown up. It would be great if it was a boy."

Koshiro silently clenched his fists, but he didn't refute
