Mita believed Kaido's words, Kaido captured 100 civilians as hostages every day to threaten Mita, dared to use force to kill them, told Mita that after 5 years he would evacuate here, in the past five years, Mita wanted to keep the hostages safe, he had to be humiliated and manipulated by Kaido, let him wear a crotch cloth to the street to dance like a fool. The unsuspecting people looked at it and regarded Mita as a fool.
Five years later, Kaido did not keep his promise, not only the pirates were still here, but also killed the wife of Mita's good friend Panagaro, which completely angered Mita and led 10 of his cronies to fight Kaido. Being ridiculed by Kaido is a fool, Kaido said that if Mita had acted early, he would have been able to hurry up and down the tens of thousands of samurai in the kingdom, and Mita himself was no less powerful than Kaido, and if he really hit Kaido like this, there was no chance of winning, but it would be killed by Kaido and some civilians to vent his anger. Kaido did not gather 1,000 pirates until 5 years later, but At this time, Mita had no prestige, and the Great Serpent sat firmly in the position of general and ruled the kingdom of Peace.
Mita was not a general material, he had been unaware of Kaido's movements for 5 years, otherwise he would have discovered kaido's expansion of power and kaido's lies long ago. In the second year, Moriah came to the land of Wano to clash with Kaido, which was a good opportunity, and Mita did not grasp it, whether it was to help Moriah eliminate Kaido, or to sneak in while they fought, he could win a great victory and then deal with Moriah, who was not as powerful as Kaido.
Mita's biggest problem is to give the choice to the enemy, compromise with the pirates, and it is not so simple to save the country. A brief throbbing is much better than an entire country falling into the hands of an enemy. Mita did not understand this truth, he had a lot of choices, asking for help from Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirate Regiment grew up very early, at this time it was definitely much stronger than the Kaido Pirate Regiment, the most secure way. The Fishmen's Neptune was attacked by asking Whitebeard to help take care of it, and If Mita put down his face and asked For Whitebeard, he could completely cut Kaido to the roots.
If we look at what happened to the Kingdom of Washinoku in the next 20 years, we will feel more and more that Mita's approach is wrong, except for the rest of the Flower Capital, people are not full of food, clothing, and warmth, struggling on the line of death, life and death are completely under Kaido's control, the entire Wano Kingdom population has decreased sharply, and the flower capital is prosperous only because most of Kaido's men are stationed there, which is convenient for rule, and the puppet of the Great Snake is also unconscious. Is it a better result than the sacrifice of kaido's hundreds of hostages at most in exchange for eternal peace in the future?
After Mita was caught, he no longer resisted, believing that someone would come to defeat Kaido in the future, which only said that he was naïve, inaction at the moment, where there was any future, which is that in the manga, Oda drew a road to save the kingdom of Washinoku, and in reality he would not wait to save the savior.
