Personally, I don't think Momonosuke and co were the ones who faked their own deaths. My idea is that Kaido, after they escaped from him, claimed to Wano he had killed their entire ruling family to crush their hopes, including digging empty graves to aid the lie.
Of course, the problem is letting the people of Wano know they're still alive without actually winding up in those graves.
Please stop being idiots people and theorising they are dead and that oden is alive or momonosasuke is oden or even oden had the time time fruit and sent all his retainers to the future. These are all bizarre claims.
This reveal was just a way of Oda trying to confuse you , relax lol
i doubt kaido would dig the graves of his enemies to cover up their death. No this has to be something truth behind it. Let us rewind back when momonosuke talks about roger . I had seriously doubt regarding his pervy behavior towards nami he abs doesnt have 8 year old child behavior . Also he claimed he met roger as well which we thought it was a pun to grab attention towards him or he met Ace who looks like roger.
Why would momo lie about roger when he said he met him when he was young. It could very fact he is actually older than he is posdibly he is around mid 20 s age . Of course there are lot of holes in my theories but there are time inconsistency with wano with chapter began.
1. We see people talking about kozuki clan being rulers of wano 20 years ago then all of sudden shogun overthrown their clan then hell starts to lose.
2. 4 years ago we set to see Ace meeting otama the villagers are still suffering shoguns purge . Yet no mention of oden here all we see is Ace promised to rescue their hunger so i am not sure whether Ace has even meet oden ?
3. Graveyard looks fairly old we know from neko oden died few months back which seems pretty contridicting considering neko and inu never talked to each other or left zou for past 20 years after their fight. Inu/neki never met people of wano for long time. Either neko is lying or kinemon /raizo avoided telling entire story .
4. Plot with moriah and wano . This is important lot of stuff oda poops up moriah and we know he has fought kaido before in new world we exactly have no details what is the fight about. Is it possible moriah stole the shadows of kozuki clan ? Might be or not we know moriah does very surprising stuff even to the enemies stronger than him. Even luffy lost his shadow even though he way way stronger than moriah .
for Zoro to say he himself got shocked upon learning the truth, it must really be way beyond natural. This also makes me wonder how an 8 year old Momonosuke have met Roger who died 24 years ago. Plus, Kozuki's were dethroned 20 years ago. Holdem also referred to Kozuki's as evil spirits.
Dude 100 percent zoro and law knows something about them. People are so naive like why would kaido do cover up about his enemies. We have seen wano people have shown being scared of both shogun and kaido. Aftervseeing how news travels so slow in wano i doubt kaido would bother lying about kid and their retainer escaping from them.
