Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"We are going out to sea to find the person who can save Wano Country in eighteen years as Lord Oden said."

Although Kin'emon had a good attitude and stated his purpose concisely.

But his words still made everyone present a little confused.

"It's too easy!" Sanji couldn't help but complain, "He just said his name and that was it. And he even said something about saving Wano Country. Also, who is Oden?"

"Wait a minute Sanji, I think I know who Oden is."

At this moment, Franky, who had been silent behind him, spoke.

He came to Kin'emon and asked tentatively:

"That Lord Oden you're talking about, isn't that Kozuki Oden, the silly-looking guy holding two swords?"

"Hmm?" Kin'emon looked up when he heard Franky's words: "Mr. Franky seems to know Lord Oden, but I cannot agree with your evaluation of Lord Oden."

"Lord Oden is the man I admire most, and the man of Wano Country..."

Just as Kin'emon was about to continue, Sanji raised his hand to interrupt him: "We don't have time to listen to you talking about a bunch of useless information."

Then, Sanji looked at Franky and said, "Who is that Kozuki Oden?"

"Yes, that guy is a member of Roger's pirate group." Franky nodded and said, "When they passed through the Seven Water Capital, there was a guy named Kozuki Oden who kept coming to me and wanted me to get on board."

After hearing Franky's words, everyone nodded, but they didn't react much to the fact that Oden was a member of the Pirate Team.

After all, they have even seen the vice-captain of One Piece, so it is not surprising for others to have seen it.

"I have also heard of the Kozuki family." Jinbei said, "It seems that they have always been the rulers of Wano Country, but the rulers of Wano Country now seem to no longer be the Kozuki family."

Because of the country's isolation, even Jinbe doesn't know much about the affairs of Wano Country.

Robin also spoke at this time: "The people of that family seem to be the creators of the historical text."

After hearing what they said, Sanji nodded to show that he understood, and then turned to look at Kin'emon:

"So, you followed the orders of Kozuki Oden and went out to sea to find someone to help you restore your country?"

Without waiting for Kin'emon to reply, Sanji spoke again: "But what does 18 years later mean? And why did you come to us?"

When Zoro is not around, Sanji's thoughts are still very clear.

"Because Lord Oden was killed by Kaido and the country-stealer Kurozumi Orochi 18 years ago, and I was brought here from 18 years ago because of Lord Oden's prophecy."

"As for looking for you, it's because I saw reports about you when I was out at sea."

"If Lord Oden's prediction is correct, then the people who will end the Great Pirate Era are most likely the ones predicted by Lord Oden."

...

Silence, deathly silence.

Although Kin'emon's tone was very certain when he said these words, he himself did not look like a madman.

But what he said made everyone present stunned for a long time.

"I came here from 18 years later!!!" Meli was the first to shout, "This is too incredible."

"Oden died 18 years ago?" Franky was also a little surprised. Although he was not fond of Oden at that time, he was still a little surprised to hear that he had been dead for more than ten years.

"Prophecy?" Jinbei muttered to himself. Kin'emon's words reminded him of himself. It seemed that one of the reasons why he boarded the ship was because of the legend of the mermaid princess.

"Huh~" Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke again: "Anyway, what you said is too far-fetched. How can anyone believe it?"

After hearing Sanji's words, Kin'emon fell silent, as if he realized that he had no evidence to prove his statement.

He couldn't help but clench his fists, and when he was about to kneel down again, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.

"If you want to verify whether they are lying, there is a way."

Robin suddenly spoke and took out two talismans from his chest.

"Yes! Bai Ye prepared a set of talismans for each of us. This one seems to be able to make people tell the truth. It's called... called..."

"Puppet Talisman Promaxplus version." Just when Melica was stuck, Robin suddenly uttered a series of words: "When Bai Ye introduced this talisman to me, he showed a very proud expression."

"If it's Byakuya's talisman, then there will be no problem." Sanji turned around without any hesitation and looked at Kin'emon and Kanjuro who had been sitting on the deck since just now.

"Since you have read the reports about us, you should also know the ability of my vice-captain. If you want to prove yourself, then..."

Before Sanji could finish, Kin'emon suddenly bowed again, then stood up and shouted:

"I am willing to help you, even if it means I have to go through fire and water!"

Kin'emon had a fearless expression, which made Sanji speechless: "So what's wrong with you? You keep kneeling and bowing. Aren't you annoying?"

"I'm willing to do the same." At this time, Kanjuro on the side also stood up and gave the same answer.

"Don't worry, they'll just be a little out of control. There's no need to go through fire and water." Robin stepped forward and put two talismans on Kin'emon and Kanjuro respectively.

After both of them trembled at the same time, Sanji also asked the question.

"I am Kin'emon, a samurai who follows Lord Oden..."

Under the effect of the talisman, Kin'emon quickly told the story about himself and Oden. After he said that he traveled through time and space by relying on the ability of Kozuki Toki's fruit, Sanji and others couldn't help but show surprise.

"He actually traveled through time from eighteen years ago?" Jinbei said, "A traveler who possesses the Time Fruit actually possesses such a powerful ability."

"Well, in this way, their words are basically credible." Sanji also nodded.

At this point, Kanjuro's story suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

"My real name is Kurozumi Kanjuro. After my parents died, it was General Kurozumi who helped me avenge them. He also gave me a devil fruit and allowed me to go undercover in the Kozuki clan. I died as a retainer of the Kozuki clan."

For some reason, Kanjuro shed tears when he said these words.
