One Piece 984 Reveals Kaido’s Son, Yamato’s True Identity

Family is a big part of One Piece. Just like the Monkey family (Garp, Dragon, and Luffy), families like Big Mom’s and Roger’s make it obvious that if their lineage is strong, they’re bound to be strong as well.

This is why when chapter 977 confirmed that Kaido has a son, it sent ripples in the One Piece community.

Raw Scans of Chapter 984 were released. They reveal that Yamato is Kaido’s daughter, not Kaido’s son.

She has inherited the will of Kozuki Oden and has been waiting for Luffy ever since Ace met her in Wano.

In the previous chapter, we saw Yamato using Thunder Bagua to knock out Ulti in one blow. Yamato’s character design stood out, not only because of the mask she was wearing, but also the dress worn by her resembled Oden’s outfit.

In chapter 984, we see Yamato take Luffy to a private spot to talk about why she saved him. Once secluded, she takes off her mask to reveal that she is actually Kaido’s daughter.

At the time of Oden’s execution in the “Hour of Legends,” she was inspired greatly by Oden’s gallant sacrifice and final words. She took on Oden’s dream to reopen the borders of Wano.

Yamato found Oden’s logbook in Kuri, which contained details of all the journeys he went on. She hid the existence of this logbook from her father and Orochi and took on Oden’s will.

To become a second Kozuki Oden, she decided to become a man, and hence everyone refers to her as a male.

We also find out that she knows Ace and has fought him multiple times. It is possible that Ace told her about Luffy. Believing that Luffy is the man Oden foreshadowed, she has been waiting for his arrival to Wano.
