Are you even serious?
Kozuki has been more important than Shimotsuki
Joyboy didn't make deal with Shimotsuki
It wasn't Shimotsuki that got minks as allies
It isn't shimotuski who got VoAT
It wasn't Shimotsuki that brought Joyboy Luffy to wano nor made Roger PK
Stop trying to make shimotuski as important as Kozuki
They're servants! They were never meant to be important as kozuki.
Imagine thinking Ryuma is more important than Kozuki when Kozuki are the reason why WG will fall due to people having poneglyphs and reading them to know the truths
Imagine not undertstanding that without Ryuma protecting this country all those connexions would be for nothing:
-Who stop the WG to pillage Wano ? Ryuma
-Whose legend protect the country after his death? Ryuma
-Who stoped pirates put they hand on pluton? Ryuma
When Wano is solely protected by the Kozuki and Ryuma legend is less strong, Wano turns to be a wasteland because :
-The Kozuki were unable to stop or put in place an injust manhunt that lead to building hate
-Sukiyaki and Oden were unable to see through Orochi shenanigans. They both were totally and completely manipulated by him. Where was there Voat?
-The Kozuki refuse to protect Wano => Oden rather be a pirate and Sukiyaki rather be a hobo in the hood
-Needs help of strangers to protect the country because they are too weak by themselves
=> What Oden tried to do with 10 scabbards, Ryuma did it alone and for years.
=> What Momo did with the help of the alliance, Ryuma did it alone and for years
It is only the incompetence of Kaido that stop him to find pluton, not the Kozuki.
It is only the fact that the WG don’t care about Wano that protect them from a
Marine onslaught not the Kozuki.
Without Ryuma and his legend all those connections would have been for nothing because this country would have been under pirates or WG rule for a longtime
