Back then, when Kozuki Oden parted ways with the Roger Pirates, he neither accepted their help nor kept his promise to return to the Whitebeard Pirates. Instead, he went straight back to Wano Country.
Wano is a powerful nation located in the New World. Its geography is extremely unique—there are no coastal shores connected to open seas, only cliffs and waterfalls surrounding the island. Entering or leaving is a near-impossible task.
At the same time, Wano is an extremely isolationist nation. It practices strict closed-country policies, refuses entry to outsiders, never joined the World Government, and denies access to Marine ships. In short, it has almost no communication with the outside world.
This very attitude makes it nearly impossible for anyone from the outside world to know what is happening within Wano.
Therefore, by the time Whitebeard learned of Kozuki Oden's death, many years had already passed.
He had once considered avenging Oden, but in the end… for various reasons, nothing came of it.
But now, in the present day, Edward Newgate had obtained what could only be described as a miraculous opportunity. He originally planned to save money to resurrect Kozuki Oden and his wife and children. Yet before he even began taking action, Muyang told him a piece of great news:
Oden's children were still alive.
But at the same time, Muyang also brought terrible news—Kozuki Hiyori was about to be dragged into a battlefield where Kaido and other monsters would clash.
Kozuki Hiyori is the daughter of Kozuki Oden, and Oden was his brother. How could Whitebeard possibly stand by and do nothing?
He stood up instantly, ready to head straight for Wano.
"Don't rush. I'll be going to Wano as well. Traveling with me will be much faster than going alone," Muyang said with a smile before turning to Neptune. Shirahoshi trusted her father deeply, so Neptune only needed a few brief explanations.
"Lord Muyang, can you really bring my mother back to life?"The mermaid princess was enormous in size, yet her voice was soft and timid, her face full of expectation.
"Don't worry. I promise you—I can definitely revive her."
The one asking was a fair-skinned, breathtaking beauty—beautiful in every sense of the word. Naturally, Muyang's tone was gentle, like coaxing a child.
"Close your eyes and count to three. When you open them, you'll see your mother, Otohime."
Shirahoshi hurriedly closed her eyes. Her… not-at-all-small pale fingers intertwined tightly, palms pressed together, as she whispered "One"—believing that the sooner she finished counting, the sooner she would see her mother.
Muyang chuckled softly. With a thought, he cast Soul Summoning + Human Transmutation + Clothing Transmutation in one smooth sequence.
The newly revived Queen Otohime blinked in confusion, her thoughts still hazy.
After ten long years, Neptune lay eyes on his wife again. Overwhelmed by a storm of emotions, tears instantly filled his eyes and shot out like a pair of fountains.
"Otohime!!!"
Neptune lunged toward her, eyes blurred with tears.
"…Three."
Just as Shirahoshi finished counting "three," without yet opening her eyes, her father's shout of "Otohime" startled her into snapping them open. The scene that burst into view was the very mother she had longed for over the last ten years.
Tears instantly filled her eyes as well, falling like basketball-sized droplets.
"Mother!!!"
Shirahoshi threw herself at Otohime, eyes misty and trembling.
The scene repeated itself.
Watching two giant merfolk—each easily four or five hundred pounds—charge toward the frail and delicate Otohime, Muyang muttered thoughtfully,"If I remember correctly… Otohime's body is extremely weak. She gets open fractures just from slapping someone."
The moment he said that, it was as if a breached dam had suddenly been sealed. Neptune and Shirahoshi, both on the verge of losing control, instantly snapped back to their senses. They scrambled to reduce their speed, desperately trying to fall to either side to avoid crushing their wife/mother.
Thanks to their efforts, Neptune and Shirahoshi collapsed one on each side of Otohime.
Whitebeard, who had been watching the whole time, breathed a deep sigh of relief, lowering the heart that had leapt into his throat.
Just a little more, and a joyous occasion would've turned into a tragedy. Scared him half to death.
Since the family was finally reunited after ten years, Muyang didn't disturb them. Silently, he collected his payment—took the "Power of Poseidon" from Shirahoshi's body, and slipped the terminal containing the remaining funds onto Neptune's wrist without making a sound. Then he quietly walked out of the banquet hall.
The expulsion spell remained active so no unrelated person would interrupt Neptune's family reunion…
Although shortly… it seemed Neptune's family would no longer be limited to just three people…
Muyang paused mid-step. With the corner of his eye, he looked at the three princes who were singing and dancing among pirates.
With a flick of his finger, three streaks of light shot into the brows of the princes, temporarily removing the expulsion spell's effect on them. The three princes immediately saw Neptune and Shirahoshi collapsed on the ground—Otohime being too small to spot behind them.
Worried sick for their father and sister, the three princes didn't hesitate and rushed toward them. Their sudden movement instantly caught the attention of everyone in the hall.
But once the princes ran into the range of the spell, all other onlookers' attention was disrupted. They instantly forgot what they were doing, returning to singing and dancing as if nothing had happened.
Seeing the family reunited, Muyang nodded in satisfaction. Through telepathy, he asked Atum and the others if they wished to accompany him to Wano.
Meanwhile, Whitebeard instructed Marco to take care of the crew while he was gone, and to contact him through the terminal if anything happened.
"We want to go too."
Ace happened to overhear his father talking about going to Wano. He grabbed Izou's hand and raised it, announcing boldly.
With Muyang and Whitebeard both going, bringing Ace along was no issue. Izou had also been away from home for many years—it was time to return.
Thinking this, Whitebeard nodded. "You may come, but you cannot act on your own."
"Okay, Pops!" Ace grinned. Izou nodded seriously, promising to obey orders.
"Then let's go."
Whitebeard turned first toward the exit of the banquet hall. Ace and Izou followed closely. Marco watched their figures quietly.
Outside the hall, Muyang looked at the Atum trio and the Whitebeard trio."Since everyone's here, let's depart."
Before his voice even finished echoing, all seven vanished without a trace.
…
There are two normal methods to enter Wano.
One is to use carp to pull a ship up the waterfall. This method is extremely dangerous and often ends with the ship destroyed and the crew dead.
The second is to enter through the hidden cave behind the waterfall, which leads to the underwater port. From there, one can ascend into Wano via lifting cables—much safer.
Now that the normal methods are covered, it's time to mention the unconventional one.
A towering waterfall connects directly to the vast ocean. Countless torrents of water crash downward into the sea, sending up towering waves and splashing foam everywhere. The roaring "BOOM BOOM BOOM" is like thunder echoing across the waters.
This is the sea outside Wano.
Before the waterfall, seven figures stood atop the water's surface.
They were Muyang and the others.
