One Piece: My Spirit

Wano Country makes Shire feel strange but familiar, because what this country has experienced, what happened, and the current situation presented makes Shire feel as if he is reading a 'history book'.

You can see many similar shadows in it. There are too many similar things in feudal thought, shogunate, samurai, and even seclusion. It can be said that it is a microcosm.

Shire also admires Kozuki Oden, an "awakened person", who challenges authority and breaks outdated feudal ideas and rules. For most people born in Wano, this is something that is unimaginable and even more impossible to do in a lifetime!
And his failure, Charles can only say it is a pity, because the other party is really not a qualified ruler, just like Koshiro's so-called "samurai spirit" that Kuina scolded before, although Kozuki Oden is a mentally "awakened person", but the same thing still has the worst things in the so-called "samurai spirit"!
Impressed by myself!
Thinking that bowing to the enemy and sacrificing oneself can be exchanged for the safety of the hostages and the people, only oneself is the only one who is moved in the end!

But on the other hand, when accepting the punishment of cooking pot, it also reflects the essence of his "samurai spirit".

Or that's why Kozuki Oden appears to have flesh and blood.

But the reason why an "awakened person" is an "awakened person" does not lie in whether he has successfully realized the transformation, but because his appearance has awakened others and brought countless possibilities to future generations!
Change is never achieved overnight, it is the emergence of a group of "awakened people", and then batch after batch of awakened people finally realized a great change!
This is what Ciel hopes that Kuina can see and understand, because he can feel that Kuina is still full of hesitation and confusion when facing the matter of Wano Country.

And after Shire and Kuina talked this time, during the time after dinner, he and Kuina were brought into the room by Koshiro again.

This time, there were not only Koshiro in the room, but also Kuina's grandfather, Shimotsuki Kozaburo, Aqian-sister, and Kiriichiro, the village doctor who was invited when Kuina almost died.

Including Koshiro, Ciel, and Kuina, there are six people in total.

Charles and Guina looked at each other, and seemed to have guessed something.

Sure enough, Koshiro introduced to Shire and Kuina: "Mr. Aqian and Mr. Kiriichiro are also from Wano Country, and they also left Wano Country on a boat together."

"Hey, little Charles, little Guina, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you two to grow so big in a blink of an eye."

Aqian, who runs a tavern in the village, waved to Charles and Guina with a smile on his face, and then motioned for them to sit beside him.

"Aqian, pay attention to your identity!"

Kiriichiro on the side looked a little serious, and at the same time scolded Aqian like an elder.

Ah Qian sticks out her tongue, she is obviously in her 40s, not only does she not have the stability and gentleness that a mature woman should have, but she often looks like a '16-year-old young girl'.

And this has been the case since Shire and Guina were young, and Sauron was teased and ridiculed by Aqian many times. Perhaps this is the "reverse growth" of women. With age, the heart becomes more and more girlish.

As for Wu Yilang, an old village doctor, who is almost 80 years old now, he has always been so serious in Shire's impression, always with a straight face, which is almost the nightmare of every sick child in the village.

Charles is also curious. Such a serious and rigid old village doctor should be the kind of person who follows the rules. It doesn't look like the kind of outrageous thing that would "violate the ban" to go to sea.

And Kiriichiro seemed to see through Charles's inner thoughts, frowned slightly, and suddenly looked at Charles and said in a deep voice: "This old man was forcibly captured on board by this stinky old man, and my fame for the rest of my life was ruined because of it!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, stop pretending, Kiriichiro, give back your first name, and this old man will give you back your third name!"

Kosaburo Shimotsuki took a few sips of a wine gourd 'Gulu Gulu' in his hand, and joked with his arm around Kiriichiro's shoulder, as if there was some unknown secret in it.

"Let go! Anyway, I'm also the number one doctor in 'Ximei', and I have a bright future, but it's you, a wicked guy, I really regret why I got on your bandit ship in the first place!!!"

Kiriichiro seems to get very angry when he mentions the past!

"What, haven't you and Meizi lived well for so many years!"

"Shut up, bastard! You can call me a plum too? Give me an honorific title!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Meizi has already said that you don't need to care about the address, it's just you, a stubborn old man, making a lot of noise here!"

For a while, the two old men, Kiriichiro and Kozaburo, suddenly began to compete with each other.

At this time, Aqian quietly whispered in the ears of Shire and Guina: "I tell you two, in fact, Kiriichiro eloped with Nozomi Daimyo's daughter, His Highness Meki, and then hid on our ship in order to avoid being chased and killed, and was taken out to sea in a daze."

Charles: "."

Guina: "."

It turned out to be the story of the poor boy who fell in love with the princess and then eloped!

Shire and Kuina never imagined that such a serious and rigid Kiriichiro would have such a story when he was young!

And after Aqian mentioned it, Shire and Guina also remembered that there was indeed a kind old woman in Wuichiro's medical clinic. Children including Shire and others like to call her Granny Mei, because every time many children are sick and drink bitter medicine in the medical clinic, Grandma Mei will give everyone a candy. Could it be that the other party is the "His Royal Highness Meiji" mentioned just now?
"Having said that, I just remembered that Dr. Kiriichiro has a serious and rigid face to everyone, but it seems that he only smiles when facing Granny Mei." Charles suddenly remembered many details that he hadn't noticed before.

"Yeah, at that time we thought Dr. Kiriichiro would never laugh!" Kuina also nodded in agreement.

But soon Charles and Kuina looked at Aqian at the same time, and Aqian smiled after feeling the gazes of Charles and Kuina, with a look of "I knew it would be like this".

"I'm just a woman from a poor family, and I was even wanted! Anyway, I was helpless in that country, so I simply boarded this ship and left that country." Ah Qian spread her hands and explained about herself.

"wanted?"

"Yeah, this is a very common thing in Wano country, after all, anything can happen in that country."

From Aqian's words, both Charles and Guina felt that there seemed to be an unknown story in it.
