Enma and Ame no Habakiri are two completely opposite cursed swords, but using both simultaneously and being able to control them allows for dynamic balance.
The Haki infused into the user by Ame no Habakiri can be completely released by Enma.
However, giving Enma, which can release Haki, to Kozuki Hiyori would definitely be a big problem; as a girl, her chances of becoming a Great Swordsman in the future are extremely low.
Even if she became a swordswoman and could control Enma, she wouldn't have much stamina to release Haki. If Ame no Habakiri were given to Kozuki Hiyori, and she became a swordswoman, it could compensate for the physical disadvantage of being a girl.
Enma should be given to Momonosuke; if he becomes a swordsman in the future, he can use Enma to release his Haki.
Clearly, Kozuki Oden wasn't very confident in his son.
So he gave Ame no Habakiri to him, and Enma to Kozuki Hiyori. After all, Kozuki Hiyori is a girl, and it's unlikely she'll become a samurai in the future, so Enma would probably be given to Kozuki Hiyori's husband.
In essence, Enma was Kozuki Oden's dowry for Kozuki Hiyori.
And as Kozuki Oden expected, Kozuki Hiyori never practiced martial arts, her strength was extremely low, and she would most likely give Enma to her husband in the future.
This was indeed the case in the original story; Kozuki Hiyori eventually gave Enma to Zoro in exchange for his Shusui.
Although Enma and Ame no Habakiri are both Supreme Grade Sword, on the same level as Shusui, Shusui's significance to Wano Country is absolutely higher than these two swords.
Shusui is the sword of Shimotsuki Ryuma, the first Great Swordsman of Wano Country, and it is also a black blade, one of only two black blades among famous swords, making it the undisputed national treasure of Wano Country.
It's completely normal for Kozuki Hiyori to want to trade Enma for Shusui.
Therefore, Kozuki Hiyori was very surprised when she saw the Shusui on Ye Yu's waist.
She even wondered what relationship Ye Yu had with Gekko Moriah, whom Kozuki Hiyori mistook for Kozuki Moriah.
The reason Kozuki Hiyori misunderstood Gekko Moriah's name was because Gekko Moriah had brought a pirate crew to challenge Kaido after Kaido killed Oden.
Although in the end, everyone except him was eliminated, and he didn't cause much damage to Kaido.
However, at that time, when no one in Wano Country dared to resist Kaido, bringing an entire pirate crew to challenge him made him a hero in the hearts of Wano Country's citizens, or rather, Kozuki Oden's former retainers.
This was even more so in Kozuki Hiyori's heart. Coupled with Gekko Moriah's surname being Moonlight, it led them to misunderstand, thinking that Gekko Moriah was actually named Kozuki Moriah, perhaps a lost member of the Kozuki Family.
Kozuki Oden had just been killed by Kaido, and Gekko Moriah brought people back to avenge him.
Kozuki Oden's former retainers conjured up a drama of a Kozuki Family member avenging their patriarch.
They even changed Gekko Moriah's surname.
It wasn't just Kozuki Hiyori who noticed the Shusui on Ye Yu's waist, but also many of Kozuki Oden's former retainers.
Shusui's appearance is simply too easy to recognize, and it is also the sword of Wano Country's first Great Swordsman; almost every samurai in Wano Country has seen this sword.
Many people were speculating about Ye Yu's identity and his purpose for coming to Wano Country.
Kurozumi Orochi stood beside Kaido, he was afraid of Ye Yu, and he also noticed the Shusui on Ye Yu's waist.
He frowned and muttered, "How does this guy have Shusui? Wasn't this sword buried with Shimotsuki Ryuma?"
"Did this guy dig up Shimotsuki Ryuma's corpse?"
Because Kurozumi Orochi was taken in as a servant by Shimotsuki Yasuie, and Shimotsuki Ryuma was an ancestor of the Shimotsuki Family and the first Great Swordsman of Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi often heard Shimotsuki Yasuie mention him and had seen many pictures of Shusui.
Moreover, Shusui is one of the Supreme Grade Sword, and its picture is in the catalog of famous swords.
However, Kurozumi Orochi then remembered that Ye Yu had also defeated Gekko Moriah, and he suddenly realized, "He must have gotten it from that guy Gekko Moriah, right?"
"After all, that's Shusui, one of the Supreme Grade Sword, and a black blade. No swordsman who knows about this sword wouldn't be tempted, right?"
Kurozumi Orochi believed that Ye Yu took Shusui from Gekko Moriah because it was a famous sword.
Although Ye Yu also had a famous sword, what swordsman wouldn't like famous swords?
Even if not for use, they are excellent for collection.
Not to mention, Yubashiri is only a Skillful Grade Sword, while Shusui is a supreme grade sword, one rank higher than Yubashiri.
However, thinking of Ye Yu's Yubashiri, Kurozumi Orochi said speechlessly, "How did that guy turn a Skillful Grade Sword into a sword even more outrageous than a supreme grade sword?"
Kurozumi Orochi had watched Ye Yu's battle with Dracule Mihawk in Dressrosa many times.
As the Shogun of Wano Country, he naturally knew the original rank of the famous sword Yubashiri in Ye Yu's hand, but Yubashiri, in Ye Yu's hand, clearly showed power far exceeding a supreme grade sword.
Kurozumi Orochi sighed, "This guy is truly a monster. What exactly is he doing in Wano Country? He wouldn't be trying to avenge that guy Kozuki Oden, would he? That guy doesn't seem to have any connection to Wano Country, does he?"
Kurozumi Orochi really couldn't figure out why Ye Yu came to Wano Country.
He also didn't remember ever offending Ye Yu.
Although his rule in Wano Country was very cruel, Ye Yu wasn't from Wano Country, so what did his rule of Wano Country have to do with him?
Why would he come to Wano Country to crusade against him?
Kurozumi Orochi felt that Ye Yu's coming to Wano Country was definitely aimed at him.
Otherwise, why would he come with such an imposing manner? He had no prior interaction with him.
Ye Yu stood on the deck, looking at Kaido's side for a long time.
Just by making eye contact, Kaido already felt increasing pressure.
He even started to sweat.
This was the first time Kaido had felt such terrifying pressure from a single person.
Even Rocks back then hadn't made him feel this kind of pressure.
Rocks back then was the overlord of The Sea; of the current Four Emperors, four of them were his subordinates back then.
Whitebeard, Big Mom, and he were all his former crew members.
If Rocks hadn't been taken down by Roger and Garp together back then, Roger definitely wouldn't be the One Piece now.
However, Rocks back then wanted to become the King of the World, and he even went to Mary Geoise to challenge Imu.
He was just severely injured by Imu, and if he hadn't escaped quickly, he might not have earned the title of overlord of The Sea later on.
Kaido naturally didn't know about these things, but Kaido knew Rocks's prestige back then.
The title of overlord of The Sea was well-deserved.
Back then on The Sea, Rocks was far more oppressive than Roger, who later became the One Piece.
