" Yamato, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
Everyone had almost finished eating, and after waiting for Yamato half hour, lunchtime finally came to an end.
I'm so full!
Yamato patted her round little belly happily; this feeling of being well-fed and well-rested was just wonderful.
"Let's go, take a quick look around, and then go find all of Laugh Tale."
"Although I have no interest in the title of Pirate King."
"But we have to get involved in something this interesting."
Kazu and his gang are currently the top power in the ocean. They don't have much else to do, so their current motto is to create trouble where there is none.
"Haha, we love causing trouble."
"I wonder if the World Government will be furious when they find out we've found Laugh Tale."
"Of course, this is a secret they've kept hidden for hundreds of years."
"With Captain Kazu around, even if we can't win, we can still escape. How exciting is that?"
"Hehehe, that's true."
The group chatted and laughed as they made their way towards the Flower Capital. By the time they arrived, it was already time for dinner.
The group found a decent-looking restaurant, had a meal, and then dispersed.
"Meet here in three days."
"Yay!"
Everyone who had their hands on the girls of Wano Country yesterday is now feeling a bit addicted.
The girls here are completely different from those elsewhere.
They are skilled in so many things, have excellent service attitudes, are delicate and easily pushed over, and possess a charmingly coy and alluring demeanor, all while being highly technically proficient.
That taste, tsk tsk tsk~
Everyone else went off to play, even Makino and the others took Yamato with them, leaving only the Dragon Girl and Kozuki Hiyori by his side.
" Pedro, I've heard this is the homeland of warriors; I imagine there must be no shortage of finely crafted swords here."
"Perfect timing, it's time for you to get a new weapon."
Oulait and Pedro acted together, and during this time O'Reilly was instructing Pedro in swordsmanship and dual-color Haki, and the two grew closer.
The only downside was that Pedro would often press his furry cheek against him while muttering something like "Karuchu," which at one point gave Oulait the urge to pet a cat.
After thinking it over, he realized it was a companion, not a pet, and that's when he suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Meanwhile, in a certain restaurant, Denjiro, disguised as a yakuza boss, anxiously awaited news from his subordinates.
Yesterday, Komurasaki was forcibly kidnapped and her whereabouts remain unknown, which has greatly worried him.
Komurasaki became the top courtesan because he secretly supported her, while he himself was also lying low and patiently enduring.
He was originally Denjiro, one of Kozuki Oden's subordinates.
But now, by day he is Kyoshiro, a yakuza boss, and by night he is Ushimitsu Kozo, Ushimitsu Kozo who steals money from Orochi and distributes it to the people.
He was supposed to wait for the opportune moment to eliminate Orochi Kozuki Hiyori's ascension to the throne, but he was furious to discover that Kozuki Hiyori had run into trouble.
We must find the bastard who kidnapped the general's daughter.
Then, not long after, another bombshell piece of news came back.
Orochi died in the shogun's mansion, along with his Orochi Oniwabanshu).
The Orochi was perfectly fine in the general's mansion, how could it have suddenly died?
Denjiro was quite clever; he immediately realized that it was the guy who Kozuki Hiyori who was behind it.
Although this was a good thing, it also made him feel heavier.
The opponent destroyed the Orochi with a mere flick of his wrist; killing him would be an easy task as well.
He wasn't afraid of death, but he failed to save Hiyori, and he had failed Oden Oden's kindness. He died with regrets.
Finally, Queen and Kaido arrived, and the fight between them was quite loud, destroying several streets. Eventually, someone saw that person leave with Kaido, including Kozuki Hiyori, and then there was no further news of them.
The Onigashima is heavily guarded, making it difficult for his men to infiltrate and gather intelligence. That's why he's waiting anxiously here.
" Kyoshiro, we have news about Komurasaki Courtesan."
"She and a young man suddenly appeared near the shopping street in Flower Capital today."
"Should we call the brothers and chop them up?"
Unlike his underlings' inexplicable confidence, Denjiro knew more information and was well aware of the terrifying strength of his opponent.
At the very least, he's a strongman on par with Kaido.
Do not act rashly.
"They dared to steal the courtesan I've set my sights on; I'll definitely go and confront them myself."
Denjiro certainly couldn't admit he couldn't beat his opponent; he had to maintain his dignity as a yakuza boss.
But in a real fight, he couldn't win, so he could only negotiate face-to-face.
Hopefully, we can exchange some other benefits for Kozuki Hiyori.
