Uchiha Xin did not let go.
Kozuki Hiyori looked at him.
"Lord Thunder Emperor is a top expert on the high seas."
"Don't you even understand the most basic manners?"
"To hug a woman you've just met is far too impolite."
Uchiha Xin remained expressionless.
"I don't follow etiquette when I do things."
"It depends on whether you like it or not."
Kozuki Hiyori frowned.
"So, Thunder Emperor, you can so easily make disrespectful gestures towards others?"
Uchiha Xin tightened his arms, holding her even closer.
"Good."
I've always followed my heart.
Kozuki Hiyori stared at Uchiha Xin.
She finally understood that the man before her would not back down because of her status.
Princess of the Kozuki Clan.
The most beautiful courtesan in Wano Country.
These identities are incredibly valuable in the eyes of ordinary people.
But it was of no use against Uchiha Xin.
He didn't care about the rules of Wano Country.
He didn't care whether she was willing or not.
Kozuki Hiyori and stopped struggling.
"Good."
"Since Your Majesty the Thunder Emperor only acts according to your own preferences, then I will make myself clear."
Uchiha Xin looked at her.
"Explain."
Kozuki Hiyori raised her head.
"Kill Kurozumi Orochi."
"Then kill Kaido of the Beasts."
"To quell the chaos in Wano Country."
She spoke very slowly.
He didn't hesitate at all when he spoke.
"If you can do it, I swear on the honor of the Kozuki Clan."
From this day forward, I will follow you with all my heart.
"I will obey whatever you ask me to do."
"I will also serve you as a princess for the rest of my life."
Uchiha Xin did not answer immediately.
Kozuki Hiyori continued:
"Now that you know my true identity, you should understand what this promise represents."
The Kozuki Clan will not break their oath.
"I will not go back on my word as long as Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido are dead."
Uchiha Xin suddenly asked:
What if I refuse?
Kozuki Hiyori's expression remained unchanged.
"Then I'd rather die than submit."
You can imprison my body.
"You can also take me away by force."
But you can't keep an eye on me forever.
"Give me the chance, and I will kill myself."
Her voice turned cold.
"I can die."
"But I would never stoop to the level of someone who refuses to avenge Wano Country."
Kozuki Hiyori knew very well that she did not have the power to fight against Uchiha Xin.
She could still find a way to deal with the samurai under Kurozumi Orochi's command.
But Uchiha Xin was someone capable of killing one of the Four Emperors.
The gap between the two sides is too large.
Direct resistance will only lead to failure.
All she could offer was her own life.
Strong men are attracted to beautiful women.
The more unattainable a woman is, the more likely she is to be treated as a trophy.
She is known as the most beautiful woman in Wano Country.
She is also Kozuki Oden's daughter.
As long as Uchiha Xin is interested in her, he won't want to watch her die.
Kozuki Hiyori wanted to use this point to force him to agree.
Uchiha Xin stared at her for a few seconds.
"Do you think threatening to kill yourself will work on me?"
Kozuki Hiyori felt a tightness in her chest, but she did not back down.
Whether it works or not, we'll only know after trying it.
I'm not even afraid of death.
"If you don't believe me, you can release me."
"I can prove it now."
Uchiha Xin raised a finger.
An invisible force entered her consciousness.
Kozuki Hiyori's body trembled.
She immediately sensed something was wrong.
The suicidal thoughts that had been so clear just moments before were suddenly locked in place by a force.
She imagined herself pulling out the hairpin from her head and stabbing it into her neck.
His fingers froze instantly.
He was completely unable to move.
She then tried to ram her head against the corner of the table.
The body still showed no reaction.
The moment the thought of suicide crossed her mind, that force would immediately immobilize her.
Kozuki Hiyori's breathing became disordered.
What did you do to me?
"To cut off your chance to commit suicide."
Uchiha Xin lowered his hand.
Kozuki Hiyori tried again.
Nothing has changed.
She can raise her arm normally.
You can continue to struggle.
However, if the action is related to suicide, the body will be immediately restrained.
Even the slightest thought of biting her tongue would cause her jaw to slip out of control.
Kozuki Hiyori finally panicked.
"Can you control my thoughts?"
"I've simply added a limitation to your thinking."
Uchiha Xin said:
"From this moment forward, you cannot voluntarily end your own life."
"No method of suicide will work."
The coldness on Kozuki Hiyori's face completely disappeared.
She had thought that her life was her last resort.
As long as she's not afraid of death, Uchiha Xin can't force her to submit.
But now, that path is completely blocked.
She couldn't even choose to die.
"How is that possible...?"
How could such an ability exist in the world?
Uchiha Xin no explanation.
Kozuki Hiyori looked at him again.
This time, she could no longer maintain her previous toughness.
Uchiha Xin can control her body remotely.
They were able to see through her identity.
Now even her suicidal thoughts can be suppressed.
She had never heard of such a power.
Even Kaido couldn't do that.
Kurozumi Orochi couldn't possibly do that.
You don't need to force me like this.
Uchiha Xin said:
" Kurozumi Orochi was destined to die."
" Kaido too."
Kozuki Hiyori was stunned.
"You agreed?"
"Killing them is no condition for me."
" Kurozumi Orochi is just a useless piece of trash who secured his position by relying on Kaido."
Uchiha Xin's tone was indifferent.
"As for Kaido, I've never taken him seriously."
Kozuki Hiyori stared intently at him.
Kaido is Four Emperors.
"He occupied Wano Country for over twenty years, and also commands the entire Beasts Pirates."
"Even my father couldn't defeat him back then."
Don't underestimate his strength.
Uchiha Xin looked at her.
" Red-Haired is also Four Emperors."
Kozuki Hiyori stopped talking after that.
Red-Haired Shanks is dead.
The Red Hair Pirates were also completely wiped out.
This was done by Uchiha Xin.
Her use of her status as one of the Four Emperors to remind him was indeed pointless.
Since Uchiha Xin was able to kill Red-Haired, he certainly has the right to disregard Kaido.
Kozuki Hiyori suppressed the shock in her heart.
"As long as you actually kill them, my promise will remain valid forever."
"Once Wano Country is restored to peace, I will leave with you on my own initiative."
"Not now."
"We must wait until Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido are dead..."
Uchiha Xin interrupted her.
"My agreeing to kill doesn't mean I have to wait until after I've done it to collect my payment."
Kozuki Hiyori immediately shook her head.
That was my only condition.
You haven't fulfilled your promise.
"I can't possibly do it now..."
She struggled again.
But the arm around her waist didn't loosen.
The lamp on the table then went out.
The door was also completely sealed off by an invisible force.
" Uchiha Xin!"
"Let me go!"
"You already agreed to the conditions!"
"I only agreed to kill them."
Uchiha Xin picked her up.
"I didn't agree to wait until you're ready."
Kozuki Hiyori grabbed his clothes.
"Don't want!"
"At least until Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido dead!"
"This is the oath of the Kozuki Clan!"
