Even when facing an opponent too powerful to match, she still refused to back down.
Yamato displayed exactly the stubborn recklessness one would expect from a hardheaded kid.
Even if the person before her was her real father, one of the Emperors of the Sea who ruled the New World, Kaido of the Beasts, the Strongest Creature.
"He's not a bad guy at all! Black Emperor is the great man I'm going to become in the future, and he's my father too!!!"
Yamato gripped her small spiked club, her adorable face filled with seriousness.
Kaido's expression darkened. Veins instantly bulged across his forehead, and he nearly crushed his teeth, yet he still forced out a smile.
"Wororororo... Yamato, you little brat, are you confused? I'm your dad!"
"That's true, but Lord Austin is also..."

"Being so fierce isn't how you should treat your daughter, Kaido."
Austin wore a gentle expression. Anyone who had never fought him might really have thought he was a mild-mannered gentleman.
His handsome appearance was highly deceptive.
Meanwhile, the mother and her two children stared blankly at the scene unfolding before them.

"I don't need you sticking your nose into how I raise my kid, Austin!!!"
Hearing Austin's smug tone, and seeing Yamato happily accept the head pat as though she had been won over, Kaido's grip on his spiked club creaked.
He glared murderously at the blond punk before him, dragon-man traits continuously emerging across his body as his violent aura
