Aokiji's Defection

That snow-white long hair, the sharp horns on her forehead, and the slender kanabo!

That was right. The one who had arrived was Kaido's daughter, Yamato!

Actually, Yamato was supposed to be guarding Crescent Moon Island during this operation. After all, Whitebeard did not allow female combatants in his Whitebeard Pirates. But when Yamato heard that Kaido was the target of this expedition, countless complicated emotions suddenly rose within her!
