So Oda finally addressed one of the biggest elephants in the room. Why did Whitebeard never retaliate against Kaido for invading Wano and killing Oden?
Well, the answer might surprise you! Because the answer is, stupid.
Apparently when Oden cheated on Newgate with Roger, sugar daddy Whitebeard cut off the gravy train of unconditional love. Apparently, Whitebeard will only risk major casualties for a select few of his butt boys. One of his former crew mates kills his “brother” and occupies the country that said brother loves and Whitebeard doesn’t bat an eye.
One of his idiot sons goes after Teech when Whitebeard specifically told him not to?
Noooooooooo!! Take on the world’s mightiest organization to save him!! How dare they take Ace!!
Now, I know what some of you guys are going to say. Oden was long dead by the time the Whitebeard Pirates learned of his demise, Ace was slated for execution so his life could still be saved.
However..... And just hear me oEven if Oden was dead, they could have still saved Wano. They could have liberated the people of Wano and avenged Oden.
Oda really thought he had this shit all worked out, he probably patted himself on the back thinking “Wow, I’m a such a genius. This isn’t contradictory or ridiculous in the slightest. This is totally in character for Whitebeard and consistent with the world that I have created, yes.”
Don’t even get me started on Izo, who should have been begging and pleading for “Pops” to find some way to save Wano from the tyranny of Kaido and Orochi. And avenge the man who basically saved his life. Also you know, that’s his homeland. His sister lives there (as far as he should have been aware) and millions of innocent lives that he should have cherished.
It is absolutely asinine that anyone would think there is a good explanation for Izo not caring about Wano being ruled under the tyranny of Kaido and Orochi. This chapter just cements that Oda wrote himself into a corner and had no idea how to explain the inaction of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The only reasonable explanation was that Ace didn’t have a gag reflex and Oden did.
Thoughts?
