While the World Government Summit was taking place, Absalom was carrying out his mission in Wano Country, a recurring activity for him.
You could say he'd get angry with anyone who tried to take the overseas assignment from him.
Over the years, Absalom has made acquaintances in Wano Country besides Queen, such as Kaido's daughter Yamato.
This is Absalom's personality; any beautiful or cute creature can make him show a relatively gentle side. After all, he's not following Moria around handling corpses every day anymore. Although Absalom can't shake his lecherous nature, he can still control it now.
In Piltover, he would behave according to the rules; it was only in the red-light district of Wano Country that his true nature would be revealed.
The specific situation should be somewhere between Sanji and his brothers; he's not as twisted as in the original timeline, but he's not exactly a decent person either.
He actually had a misunderstanding about Yamato. Because Yamato would listen quietly to Absalom's stories about the outside world, Absalom got the impression that she was very quiet.
Seeing a girl who wasn't so irritable was Absalom's wish; such girls were almost extinct in Piltover.
Ginny and Kate are both friendly to their own people, but they can be quite flirtatious with strangers if they disagree.
Frankenstein doesn't generate electricity; she thinks that's a waste of power and will just smash things with a hammer instead.
Leliana is essentially the most violent one; she wrestled with elemental dragons every day since she was a child. As for Perona...
Absalom would rather be punched by Lyliana than experience Perona's negative ghost.
Leliana is careful with her actions, and Oran herself is a skilled healer. As long as you don't cross any lines, if you anger Leliana, you'll at most be beaten half to death and recover in a few months.
Sending Perona to cause trouble, aside from the possibility of her getting beaten up by Kumaai, would be a social death if anyone was around.
Perona's arrival even gave rise to a form of punishment in Piltover.
Those who gossip behind others' backs, slander and spread rumors, causing serious consequences, will be publicly executed for three days by a negative ghost in the center of the square, with the execution recorded on video.
They are then sentenced to different punishments depending on the severity of the offense, and these videos are played on a loop in prison.
However, Absalom's impression was quickly shattered; compared to the situation in Wano Country, the people of Piltover were far too gentle.
Kaido really beats his kids to death. Ever since he met Yamato, every time he comes to Wano Country, he sees Kaido and Yamato fighting. And for some reason, there was one time when Kaido looked at him strangely.
In the end, it was Quinn who gave him the answer.
"It's all because you talked so much about Oran to her last time. Miss Yamato didn't remember anything else, but she did remember you praising Oran as great and mentioning that he drove away the pirates."
Then, Governor Kaido and his own daughter are at odds, so Lady Yamato's current goal is to defeat Governor Kaido.
Don't be fooled by Kaido's tendency to fight when drunk. As the strongest creature in the world, alcohol won't make him lose control of his body. In fact, being drunk is a fighting style for him.
He did that because he wanted to; from beginning to end, Kaido never fought any of his subordinates or other people he valued.
Absalom's identity dictates that Kaido won't attack him; at most, he'll just glare at him. As long as Kaido still needs the products Oran has, he won't do anything to Absalom.
Absalom was aware of this, which is why he still dared to carry out the mission. "Lust is a dangerous thing," and that's no joke.
This time, Absalom even ran into an even bigger incident.
After years of performing nude dances, Kozuki Oden, having lost the support of the people, finally realized that he had been deceived, but by then, few people were willing to follow him anymore.
Finally, Kozuki Oden, along with his nine retainers, embarked on the journey to defeat Kaido.
However, Kozuki Oden was unaware that one of his retainers, Kanjuro, was actually named Kurozumi Kanjuro, and from the very beginning, he was an undercover agent sent by Kurozumi Orochi to serve Kozuki Oden.
With the help of this undercover agent, Kaido already knew about Kozuki Oden's actions and had already gathered his forces on Onigashima, waiting for Kozuki Oden to walk into his trap.
Absalom was on Onigashima at the time, and just as Kaido led his men out to meet the enemy, he reported the news to Oran.
"You don't need to do anything. This has nothing to do with you, and it's not a battle you can get involved in. Abu, protect yourself and don't get involved in this kind of battle."
What could possibly happen in Wano Country at this point in time is just the messy affairs involving Kurozumi, Kozuki, and the Beasts.
There's no point in Absalom getting involved; he was just a deliveryman on leave, not a mercenary.
"Yes, I understand."
The houses on Onigashima had only been built recently, and according to Kaido, he didn't want to damage his new home, so he took the initiative to go out and fight.
After thinking for a moment, Absalom opened his equipment book and began to equip himself with gear.
He didn't know how strong Kozuki Oden was, but judging from Kaido's serious attitude, the opponent should not be weak.
Absalom is currently on Ghost Island, and if any enemies were to invade, he might not be able to say for sure. To avoid being accidentally injured, he plans to be fully armed.
The Transparent Fruit only makes him invisible, not invincible.
Among the books Oran had prepared for him, a set of white armor was on display, specifically designed for Absalom's werewolf form.
This thing is also part of the Project universe's technology tree, and it has some similarities to Project Doom. It represents two parallel Warwick universes, just like the potion on Absalom.
Although this combination armor is not as strong as the complete Project Origin, it is still a great enhancement for Absalom.
The biggest drawback of this armor set is that it's a bit complicated for one person to put on.
"Wow, that's so cool! Did Dr. Oran make this too?"
Kaido wasn't crazy enough to drag Yamato into battle, so she stayed on Onigashima, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Absalom in his mecha suit.
"Yes, this is one of Lord Oran's great creations, one of the most advanced armors in the world. If it is ever surpassed, it will only be because Lord Oran has made a new one."
Before Yamato could even take a good look at the incredibly cool mecha, Absalom made it transparent.
Meanwhile, the battle outside Onigashima also began.
Oden was the head of the group, which consisted of nine retainers, plus Shinobu, making a total of eleven people.
Their enemies are thousands of pirates led by Kaido, pirates capable of fighting in the New World.
Although Oden and his retainers were quite capable, they still seemed to be struggling in this situation.
"Hehehe, Oden, if you had joined forces with Hyogoro when you first came back a few years ago, all the samurai and wandering knights in the country would have stood by your side."
At that time, I had few men, and if a war had broken out, I probably wouldn't have gained the upper hand. I should thank you for choosing the most foolish path!
Now, Kaido not only has two top officers, Queen and King, under his command, but also the Numbers he acquired through trade with the World Government and the Gifters army spawned by the potion he acquired from Oran, further strengthening his power.
As time went by, Oden and his group gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.
"Oden Two-Sword Style: Togen Totsuka!"
Oden's arm muscles swelled twice in size at that moment, and then he crossed his two swords into a cross and slashed at Kaido's chest, who was still in dragon form in the sky.
laugh!
With a flash of light, a huge cross-shaped wound appeared on Kaido's chest, and blood gushed out. The defense of his Haki-infused scales had been broken by Kozuki Oden, and in pain, Kaido's massive body fell to the ground.
"No way, he actually managed to hurt Father?"
On Onigashima, Absalom and Yamato can see the battlefield through the surveillance animals created by Queen. If Kaido were to learn how to educate his descendants properly, he could very well become the idol that Yamato wants to surpass, but he is clearly not good at it.
Kaido left a deep and troublesome shadow in Yamato's heart.
Oden's ability to break through Kaido's defenses has greatly shocked Yamato.
"No, the battle isn't over yet. From the beginning until now, Kaido has been using his dragon form, but that's not the strongest fighting form for a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. Next, it'll be his dragon-human form."
Absalom's own weakness does not mean he has never witnessed battles between top-tier fighters; for example, Leliana and Redfield never used their dragon forms when they fought.
When facing a smaller and more agile opponent, the dragon's posture is simply that of a target.
While Absalom was still analyzing the battle situation, the tide of battle suddenly turned.
Kurozumi Higurashi used the Imitation Fruit to transform into Momonosuke, distracting Oden, and was then knocked unconscious by Kaido's attack.
Once Oden, the only one who could rival Kaido, was defeated, the defeat of the rest became inevitable.
Later, some of the people were sent to the future by Kozuki Toki using his Time-Time Fruit, and Kozuki Toki left behind a prophecy about the future.
The other daimyo of Wano Country also launched a joint attack after Oden's defeat, but the result was the same. If they had joined forces with Oden, they might have had a chance. Now it's too late to realize it.
The difference is that this time Kaido didn't lock Yamato up with the samurai just because she kept saying she was Oden.
As for how this change came about, you'd have to ask Absalom.
At this time, Absalom had already returned to Piltover and was not involved in the Wano Country affair, but what he brought back was a bit special.
"In other words, this is something you brought back from Wano Country."
"Yes, Master. I originally wanted to see if there were any valuable spoils left on the battlefield, but in the end I only found this diary."
I felt the information recorded in the diary was important, so I brought it back.
