After his journey had come to an end with Roger Pirates, he felt content and empty at the same time.

  Content as he finally knew about some truth about the world, and empty as he recalled about his responsibility as Wanokuni Daimyo's heir.

  His journey with Roger had opened his eyes and heart, when it comes to an end, Oden decided to return to Wanokuni to finally become a respected leader like his father Kozuki Sukiyaki once had been.

  However, much to Oden's wrath, His father retainer and sve Kurozumi Orochi had actually become a Shogun! Together with Kaido, they oppress the people of Wanokuni, and to the extend his wife Toki and his loyal retainers had been injured because of it.

  Long story short, Oden was lost against Kaido even though he managed to wound the beast and made him fled, as, Orochi was too sinister. He brazenly threaten Oden by having Wano people as hostage! Saying that if Oden didn't want to comply he and the beast pirate will kill Wano people one by one everyday.

  However, Orochi seems didn't want it to end just like that, he also told Oden to dance buck naked in Flower Capital once a week for 5 years! And at the end of his punishment, he said that he and Beast pirate will leave Wanokuni if Oden persist on his punishment!

  Oden doesn't think too much, having his beloved country people as a hostage, he had no choice but complied on Orochi's demand, much to the ter nasty ugh.

  it has been 3 years since Oden started his dance. and at the end of his story, he saw Marco had a calm face seemingly doesn't care about his story.

  However, Oden knew. The angrier Marco had become the calmer he would be.

  Marco gritted his teeth so hard, and in his brief crity, he couldn't help but recalled on that young Vice Admiral once again, he thought that Kimimaro was having some sort of scheme and try to make some conflict between Oden and Whitebeard.

  Who would have thought as he arrived at Wanokuni to check on his brother Oden, he saw how the ter was being humiliated in the midle of the city!

  Even before he met with Oden, he investigated the cause first without alerting anyone, especially Kaido who stayed on his floating isnd at Wano sky.

  He already knew about Orochi scheme with Kaido, The former wanted Wanokuni as his own while the ter wanted it to become his base of operation, prompting him to have another thought on that young Marine.

  Wano was in danger and Oden was helpless against Kaido, he accepted the humiliating terms honorably without thinking that it was another Orochi's scheme to let Wano people to lose their respect toward Oden.

  Marco's feeling turned complicated for now. How could Kimimaro knew about Oden predicament? Does the Whitebeard pirates had to feel grateful on his timely reminder?

  Recalling on his words once again, Marco shudders on the thought if he was too te to come, Oden would undoubtedly dead!

  Oden might not know about Kaido's temper, but Marco? How could he didn't know about that Beast temper?! He was bloodthirsty man, and as Oden said that he got Kaido injured in the past, Marco was sure that Kaido will sooner or ter retaliate and kill his brother!

  Marco was suddenly pulled from his reverie as Oden gently patted on his shoulder as he stood up,

  "Its okay, i can do this. its just 2 more years!" Oden ughed showing his white teeth behind his sooth covered face.

  Without waiting, Oden left Marco at the still burning forest as he walk back towards his home with cheerful manner, the man was too innocent to think thoroughly as he hummed a little tune along the way.

  Marco just looked at Oden's wide back, he squinted his eyes as he made up his mind, soon he took out his own Den-den Mushi(Snail phone).

  *Prrrrrrr...

  The phone connects as rough voice of a man coming from the other side,

  "Yeah?"

  "Pops? its me Marco...."

  Marco began to tell his captain on what Oden had been through. at this moment, Oden doesn't realize that his fate had inadvertently change in the future!
