Hiyori: The White Moonlight of My Life

"That depends on just how high his status is, and how well you understand the emotions he needs..."

"In other words, whether you can meet the other party's requirements depends on how much you value it. Every item in this world has its own value, which depends on how much you value it."

He discreetly put away the design drawings in his hand, and the Iceburg put on his usual gentle smile as he looked through the upcoming schedule.

"One's own value..."

His eyes darted around, his mind raced, and an almost insane plan gradually took shape.

"Thank you for your help, President."

"Help? Is there? I'm quite curious too, which wealthy and powerful family could possibly catch the eye of our secretary, who's always been so ambitious, hahaha..."

As the sun sets, streaks of blood-red sunset light silently drape the dazzling sea surface.

The Water 7, with its winding paths leading to passenger boat stalls.

The drunken boss slumped inside the passenger ship until the chairs started making noise, at which point he impatiently waved his hand.

"Get out of here, get out of here! We're closed for today, and we might not do business tomorrow either. Let's talk about it after I sober up!"

"Don't be such a spoilsport, boss. I smell an aroma that's even stronger than regular sea salt. Could you make me something to fill my stomach? Egg fried rice would be fine."

After hearing these words, the old man opened his eyes and looked at Huayue, who was wearing a strange mask, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"What a sensitive nose! You can even smell this kind of scent. Did you eat the Dog-Dog Fruit?"

"Well, the wine's all gone anyway. It's rare to have a customer who appreciates good things, so I might as well make an exception. It's carnival time again, and the Aqua Laguna will be here soon..."

The stove fire roared to Kuma, and in no time, a fragrant plate of fried rice with eggs was placed in front of Huayue.

"Where are your companions? It's supposed to be a carnival, it feels weird to go alone, glug glug glug... This is a rare item!"

"Hey, hey, hey, my fried rice isn't worth the price of this bottle of wine."

Grandpa Penpen took a sip and immediately understood the value of the wine. He said this, but subconsciously he pulled the bottle into his arms and looked at it reluctantly.

"It's okay, just consider it payment for the meal. I didn't bring any money with me anyway."

"Thank you for the treat. The fried rice was delicious, but it didn't taste like what I was looking for..."

Huayue put down her chopsticks, her eyes darting around, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across her face.

"What a nuisance! These guys have ruined my mood for the celebration. Who gave them the courage?"

"It doesn't taste like what you're looking for. You're homesick, aren't you? Only someone who's homesick knows what tastes like..."

Grandpa Penpen, once again lost in his drunken dream, mumbled in his sleep. Huayue was in a daze and for a moment lost all interest in arguing with the CP0 agents who had infiltrated Water 7 without permission.

"Missing home? Probably..."

With a deep, unfathomable look in his eyes, he concluded that at the speed at which those three Otsutsuki were advancing, it would take them at most eight years to reach the planet where the ninjas lived.

"With a time flow rate of one to two, eight years is neither a long nor a short time. Why is it so difficult to catch a few big fish?"

Just then, in the distance, bursts of fireworks shot into the sky from the square, bursting into a dazzling display of colors.

In the bustling square, Hiyori, with her long, flowing hair cascading down her back Hiyori wearing a fox mask, grumbled softly.

"Honestly, we agreed to play around at the festival, so why did my brother disappear halfway through? I prepared for so long..."

"Who knows, maybe they were hungry and went out to eat. By the Hiyori, the 'watery meat' here is really good, want some?"

Taking out his long-lost Hannya Mask, Yamato, who had been playing wildly, was stuffing meat into his mouth, trying to fill his bottomless stomach.

"No need, I'm not in the mood. I just want to know my brother's exact location."

"Why? Why are you so fixated on Big Brother? Hiyori..."

After taking a deep look, confirming that the companion in front of him, who had grown up with him since childhood and was clearly Kaido's child, had not inherited a single trace of Kaido's character, gave a matter-of-fact answer from behind the fox mask.

"Because my brother is my brother, like the moon, dispelling the darkness for me in the darkness, a white moonlight that will never disappear..."

"My older brother who has always taken me in, taken care of me, and been so approachable, who has always been there for me even without saying a word..."

"Well, Yamato probably wouldn't understand, but true love is about companionship, hehehe!"

"Ugh, this is so troublesome. I prefer a more exhilarating battle."

Shrugging, Yamato, who had decided to abandon the question after a brief moment of thought, involuntarily turned his gaze to a few figures in white suits and wearing masks who flashed by in the distance.

"Since just now, there have been a lot more powerful voices, unlike the voices of ordinary people, more like those of well-trained warriors."

"Ah, I noticed that too. The one making that sound must be a nuisance from the World Government."

Their eyes gradually turned cold. Those annoying guys actually tracked them down here. If they dared to declare war on them directly, then the World Government would see that they weren't pushovers either.

Inside Blueno's bar in Water 7.

"You've already been alerted? Could it be that you've already obtained permission to wage war against the Four Emperors?!"

Blueno's eyes were filled with surprise and seriousness as he glanced at the group of people in front of him, his vigilance heightened to the extreme.

"No, the Five Elders will absolutely not allow us to start a battle with the Four Emperors in Water 7. That would not only interfere with your mission, but also cause Mariejois to suffer another catastrophe."

Of the two CP0s, one was a beautiful woman with long hair and a fox mask. She chuckled twice, but her tone was inexplicably tinged with helplessness.

"We are here to assist Kalifa in completing her mission. If she fails, I will be her second substitute."

"Huh? What mission did she receive from the Five Elders, and why would CP0 need to fill the vacancy?"

As soon as he asked the question, Blueno immediately lowered his head and remained silent, as if he had not asked the question himself.

"More importantly, where is the target now?"

"After all, he is Four Emperors. We dare not get too close. We can only speculate that he is in this area based on the existing clues."

Guernica drew a circle around the waterways on the map of Water 7, and the long-haired fox nodded slightly.

"Then what are we waiting for? Tell Kalifa to act immediately. News has come from the shipyard that the renovation has begun, and they won't stay in Water 7 for long."
