Yamato, the Hilariously Filial Daughter
"How is that possible?"
Yamato was stunned when Yamato discovered that his legs were Ice Seal.
Just then, the ice layer Ice Seal Moke shattered. Moke looked at Yamato with amusement. "Not bad in strength, but lacking in combat experience. Or rather, he has a severe lack of combat experience against those other than Zoan -type Devil Fruit users."
After saying that, he added, "You probably rarely fight other people besides the Beast Pirates, right?"
Yamato was slightly taken aback.
Because what Moke said was true; over the years, the person she had fought the most with was her own old man.
Occasionally, he would get into fights with the old man's men.
But now that I think about it, it seems like everyone he fought was actually Zoan user. Their fighting style was generally all about hand-to-hand combat...
"Snort..."
Yamato couldn't help but snort coldly.
Clearly, she was still somewhat unconvinced. She immediately entered her Hybrid Form, her power surging, and she shattered the Ice Seal her legs.
Moke raised an eyebrow involuntarily.
Some say even dogs wouldn't eat Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit, but in his opinion, Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit isn't much better.
Take Yamato's Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Okuchi no Makami form, for example.
That's for playing with ice.
Otherwise, where did she get that move that could Ice Seal people?
Moreover, once she enters her human-beast or Beast Form, all her techniques are ice-based...
Sure enough, Yamato moved the next second. "Namuji Hyoga!"
She then attacked by exhaling freezing air from her mouth, and her target was Moke.
Yamato used this technique to clash with Kaido's "Bolo Breath," creating a massive explosion. The power was considerable...
"Ice Shield!"
Moke raised his hand, and the air froze, forming an Ice Shield in front of him. He had already absorbed the ice when Yamato Ice Seal him.
He became Logia frozen person.
"Rumble..."
The next second, Yamato's attack slammed into Moke's Ice Shield. Shattered ice flew everywhere...
"How is that possible?"
Yamato exclaimed in surprise.
Moke laughed, "The Devil Fruit I ate is Paramecia — the Absorb-Absorb Fruit. It allows me to absorb everything and make it my own."
This is no longer a secret; after so many battles, his abilities have been thoroughly analyzed by outsiders, so there's no need for him to hide them anymore.
"Absorb everything and make it your own?"
Yamato froze, completely dumbfounded. It took him a long time to react. "So, you deliberately let me hit you, then absorbed the ice. And that's how you gained the ability to Ice Seal?"
Moke nodded, then chuckled, "How about it? Both your strength and Devil Fruit ability are worthy of you, right?"
"You..."
Yamato was speechless.
Indeed, the man before them was impeccable in every way—looks, physique, strength, and ability—he was worthy of any woman, including her.
But being worthy of someone doesn't mean she has to marry them.
That old man wants her to marry into a powerful family? To hell with him!
Looking at the stubborn Yamato, Moke immediately added, "I intend to restore Wano Country, because I have found Kozuki Oden's daughter Kozuki Hiyori."
"What?"
Yamato's expression changed instantly; his eyes were filled with shock and excitement.
Kozuki Oden was her idol, and her life goal was to one day find a member of the Kozuki Family and restore Kozuki Family Wano Country their hands.
He immediately confirmed, "Are you telling the truth?"
Moke nodded. "Of course, would you be willing to help me?"
Yamato is naive, but not stupid. With a hint of skepticism, she asked, "How can you prove what you're saying is true?"
Moke: "I'll take you to meet Kozuki Hiyori, and then to meet the members of the Nine Red Scabbards. You'll then be able to make your own judgment!"
Yamato hearing this, Yamato's wary heart relaxed considerably.
But she was even more excited, because if Moke said that, it was most likely true. Did that mean she really would be able to meet Kozuki Oden's daughter?
That would be wonderful.
The most filial daughter among pirates was already thinking about how to defeat her old man Kozuki Hiyori restore Wano Country.
But then a very important question immediately came to mind: how was she going to get out?
She even has specially made handcuffs on her wrists!
Moke laughed, "If you marry me, you'll be my woman. Naturally, you'll have to leave this place with me and join my pirate crew. Then, you can go wherever you want!"
Yamato hearing this, Yamato nodded subconsciously.
I think what Moke said makes a lot of sense, but something still feels off.
After thinking for a long time, he looked at Moke and asked, "Why do you want to help the Kozuki Family restore their kingdom?"
Moke stated bluntly, "Because Kozuki Hiyori is also my woman, and I have promised her that I would help her restore her country. Moreover, our children will inherit Wano Country in the future."
"Ah?"
Yamato feels like his brain isn't working properly anymore, really.
Yamato's big eyes blinked. "Then why did you still arrange a marriage with me?"
Moke shrugged. "Because I need someone to help me. And you're just the right person..."
Yamato: "That's not right! You should have your own crew!"
Moke: "That's right, I do have my own crew. And a group of them with considerable strength... However, my opponents aren't just your father. There's also the Big Mom Pirates, so my crew must remain in their own territory to guard against Big Mom's people..."
Moke paused for a moment at this point.
Then, he added, "Of course, there's another advantage to our marriage alliance: it will lower Kaido's guard, giving us a chance to strike decisively. Before your father could even react, we had already taken Wano Country from his grasp."
Kozuki Hiyori nodded in agreement. Indeed... the Big Mom Pirates were keeping an eye on them.
We really can't act too recklessly.
And that last point does indeed make sense.
Moke: "So? Would you be willing to help me... and also help Kozuki Hiyori?"
Upon Yamato looked at Moke and said, "As long as what you say is true, I will agree."
Moke: "Don't worry, there's absolutely no lie in what I'm saying. But if you find out halfway through that I'm lying, don't immediately back out."
Upon hearing this, Yamato was completely relieved.
Moke: "Then it's settled. I'll set the date after I meet your father. The day we get married will be the day Wano Country is restored."
Yamato: "Okay..."
Kaido and King, watching from a distance, were somewhat surprised to see the two stop and begin talking.
The two couldn't help but exchange a glance.
I thought to myself, "Yamato can't have been taken down by that guy Moke so quickly, can it?"
Although, this was the outcome they hoped for.
But something felt off. Especially with Kaido... there was a sense of foreboding.
