Miskina Ashiye no longer held much guard against Tsugikuni Yoriichi. They had already shared the greatest secret in their hearts with him, and after giving him the Pure Gold, they had seen no unusual reaction from Yoriichi. Naturally, their relationship had grown closer.
A shared secret was one of the easiest ways to bring people closer together.
Although Miskina Ashiye had not gone out to sea many times due to the sea of gastric acid, he had a fairly deep understanding of the world inside Lord Lantern's stomach.
It was not impossible to leave this place. They simply had to follow Lord Lantern's bodily functions and ride the currents onward.
Hmm. Even such a bizarre Lord Lantern still had to excrete waste.
After learning this, Tsugikuni Yoriichi did not look troubled at all. The bubble encasing the Dawn warship had not burst, so leaving this place would not be difficult.
After chatting with Miskina Ashiye and his daughter for a while and confirming that they wanted to live ordinary lives, Tsugikuni Yoriichi did not waste words. He merely invited them to spend the rest of their lives in Whole Cake Island.
Yoriichi meant well. The island where the father and daughter had once lived had long since been destroyed, and after living inside a fish's belly for so many years, it would not be easy for them to integrate into modern society. There was also the risk of exposing their lifespans.
Once the secret of the Pure Gold was exposed, anyone could imagine what the two of them would face.
If they went to Whole Cake Island, Yoriichi could protect them from harm.
However, Yoriichi's invitation took on a different meaning in Miskina Ashiye's ears. After studying Yoriichi intently for a long while, Miskina Ashiye shook his head and refused.
