In One Piece, the fact that Yonko Kaido has a child is one of the biggest surprises in the Wano arc so far.
In the recent chapter 1020, author Oda revealed that Yamato ate the Inu Inu no Mi devil fruit, Model: Oguchi no Makami.
The interesting thing is that if anyone knows Japanese legends, they will realize that author Oda has included many different references in the One Piece story, including the character Yamato.
Legend of the White Wolf and the Mountain God
As we have seen in recent chapters, Momonosuke was originally a child so he was very scared when faced with what was happening right in Onigashima.
In the story it is mentioned that a white wolf appeared before Prince Yamato Takeru and then guided him through a forest filled with monsters and terrible creatures.
Wolves are also believed to be creatures that protect people’s homes from fire.

Another story about Yamato Takeru that author Oda may have included in the One Piece series focuses on a dangerous expedition undertaken by this prince.
This is what perhaps inspired Oda to later present a story in which Yamato dresses like Kozuki Oden, because of her admiration for Oden’s figure.
Yamato’s future fate
Many fans have predicted that Yamato will join the Straw Hats at the end of the Wano arc, but different things could happen if we base it on the legend of Yamato Takeru.
However, in the context of the current One Piece story, Kaido is the embodiment of boundless power in Wano.
Kaido can enlist Big Mom’s help to use her Soul Pocus technique to steal Yamato’s life rations.
In short, with what is happening in Wano, we can wait to see to what extent author Oda will bring the myth of Yamato Takeru into One Piece.
