"I no longer know how to thank you, Lord Xie Wen..."
Seeing that Kurozumi Orochi had not died completely even after she pierced his heart left Kozuki Hiyori shaken with lingering fear. She came before Xie Wen and prepared to prostrate herself again.
Then Xie Wen grabbed her and stopped her.
She was not going to "serve him like an ox or horse" or "offer herself in marriage" anyway, and Xie Wen had no interest in sitting there like a deity while people kowtowed to him.
So...
Why not offer something practical!
"My hobbies are collecting Famous Swords and Devil Fruits," Xie Wen said frankly. "Besides coming to Wano Country to pick a fight with Kaido, I also wanted to see whether I could find a Famous Sword or two in this country that has produced so many swordsmiths."
"Famous Swords? No problem!"
Xie Wen did not even need to offer Shusui in exchange. Kozuki Hiyori had already decided to give him Enma.
She even felt that this was not enough to repay his kindness, so she volunteered a promise. "My late father was a Swordsman who practiced the Great Sword Two-Sword Style. Before his execution, he entrusted one of his two swords to me and the other to my brother... Once my brother Momonosuke returns, I will persuade him to give you Ame no Habakiri as well."
"Also, if we are fortunate enough to drive Kaido out of Wano Country this time, I will ask Kawamatsu and the others to help you collect more Famous Swords, along with those Devil Fruits that grant people sorcery."
"That would be wonderful."
Xie Wen's original target had only been Enma. If he could get Ame no Habakiri too, or even more Famous Swords, he certainly would not refuse.
"Xie Wen, dear~ Uncle
