Inuarashi was also stunned, but after glancing again in the direction where Bai Yu and Kozuki Hiyori had disappeared, he said.
"Isn't this a good thing? If Captain Bai Yu marries Princess Hiyori and becomes the Shogun of Wano Country, wouldn't we be able to openly and legitimately allow Wano Country to open its borders?"
" Hiyori, becoming the captain's wife is also a continuation of Oden's will. I feel it's perfect."
The Cat Viper was completely dumbfounded, and it took it a good three or four seconds before it spoke.
"Now that you mention it, I think you're right!"
"By the way, do you remember the prophecy the lady mentioned? What if Momonosuke really does come back to life?"
"What's the point of doing anything? Wano Country is open to the world, Orochi and Kaido are dead. Who cares if that prophecy is true or not? Even if we come back, let's just go somewhere cool and stay there..." Inuarashi waved his hand dismissively.
"Let's hurry and catch up, see if we can get the captain Hiyori Princess Hiyori together!"
Watching the two figures run away into the distance, Fujitora and Law's facial muscles twitched involuntarily a few times.
If Kozuki Oden knew that their retainer had sold their precious daughter outright with a single word, he would be in trouble.
I'm afraid even a coffin lid couldn't hold it down.
However, remembering that they were currently carrying out a plan to destroy the country, Law and Fujitora quickly caught up after regaining their senses.
On the other hand, Lion Beast was moving forward at breakneck speed, using every ounce of its strength.
For its weak mind, the only thought now was to get to the castle as soon as possible and get rid of the creature on its back that was tens of thousands of times more terrifying than itself.
At such rapid speed, Kozuki Hiyori was caught off guard and realized what was happening. The whistling wind rushing past her ears and the scenery flashing by were almost overwhelming.
Faced with this unprecedented speed, he involuntarily tensed his body and gripped the Lion Beast's fur tightly.
Instinctively, I leaned into the warm embrace behind me.
A voice inside him was telling him.
Only in this way can one feel more secure.
However, this action quickly made Kozuki Hiyori feel a little embarrassed. Her face turned red, she gritted her teeth, and forced herself to speak.
"You... who are you? You don't look like you're from Wano Country. Did you sneak in from outside?"
"Doing this is very dangerous. This is the territory of Kaido and Orochi, two of the Four Emperors. If they find out, we're doomed."
"After all, Wano Country is a country full of tragedy..."
"A tragic country?" Bai Yu asked, looking at Kozuki Hiyori in his arms with great interest.
Why do you say that?
"Why?" Kozuki Hiyori paused for a moment, then quickly asked with a look of dejection.
"Because Wano Country only has superficial prosperity and happiness. If I could, I really want to change it, but without the Miracle, I probably wouldn't be able to do it in my entire life!"
"My strength is too small. I really want to become stronger, strong enough to overcome everything."
As she spoke, Kozuki Hiyori gripped Lion Beast's fur tightly with both hands, so tightly that even Lion Beast couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.
If it weren't for the powerful figure on its back, Lion Beast would probably have already rebelled.
Seeing Hiyori Kozuki Hiyori clenched her fists so tightly they turned white, and her lips almost bleeding from being bitten, Bai Yu sighed inwardly.
Though physically in enemy territory, our hearts remain at peace!
Kozuki Hiyori had to bear the hatred of killing her father and seizing her country since she was young. She endured humiliation and stayed by Orochi's side, acting as a courtesan, and secretly helping the people of Wano Country Denjiro.
This level of patience and composure is truly among the best in the Sea King World.
In the original work, Momonosuke is simply incomparable to Kozuki Hiyori.
One was sent here after a twenty-year hiatus, claiming to bear the mission of founding the nation.
One who lived for twenty years, silently witnessing the changes in Wano Country, and secretly working hard.
Anyone who isn't blind can tell who the real hero is.
Perhaps that's why there's the ironclad rule that Momonosuke must die.
Don't you see, the dragon Jiraiya, spying on the bathroom Tenten, searching for face wash every day, and yet it never gets condemned.
This is the result of a mismatch between ability and public image!
Seeing Kozuki Hiyori, Bai Yu took a swig of strong liquor and handed it to her.
"Take a sip and cheer yourself up. Hope lies in tomorrow. If you lose hope for yourself, how can you talk about rescuing others?"
"If I told you that I came here specifically to kill Orochi and Kaido of the Beasts, would you believe me?"
Kill Orochi and Kaido?
Cough cough cough!
Just as Kozuki Hiyori came to her senses, she hesitantly took the bottle from Bai Yu and took a swig of strong liquor, intending to dispel the gloom in her heart. She was so shocked that she spat out the liquor.
Quickly realizing his lapse in composure, he hurriedly explained, "Ahem... no... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look down on you, it's just that you don't know how strong Kaido and Orochi are."
"Their combined forces within Wano Country nearly 100,000!"
"There's also the Kaido of the Beasts of the Orochi, who collaborates with Orochi. Rumor has it that he's an incredibly strong individual on the outer seas, and only a handful of people in this world can stand against him."
"Recently, I heard that a Marine Admiral has appeared on the high seas, I think his name is Bai Yu. It seems he has a feud with Kaido, and they have fought several battles in a row. He even killed Jack, one of Kaido's All-Stars."
"Uncle Denjiro said that if we could contact this Marine Admiral, Wano Country might still have a glimmer of hope. However, Wano Country is currently locked down by Orochi and Kaido, so escaping is no easy task..."
At this point, a bitter look appeared on Kozuki Hiyori's face. She quickly turned around, grabbed Bai Yu's arm, and said urgently.
"You... you were able to sneak into Wano Country, you must be quite strong. Could you do me a favor?"
"If you do encounter Marine Admiral Bai Yu after leaving Wano Country, tell him that there's a person Komurasaki in Wano Country waiting for his help."
"I'll grant you any request, including myself, as long as you can help me!"
you?
Bai Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and took the bottle from Kozuki Hiyori's Vice Admiral, took a sip, and said...
"Is it worth it? Giving yourself up to me, just to find that Bai Yu, isn't that a huge sacrifice?"
"What if that Navy guy Bai Yu, is a freak, ugly as Masira, and they still want you to show yourself? Would you still offer yourself up?"
"If you don't want me, then I will!" Kozuki Hiyori clenched her fist tightly and said, "As long as Wano Country opens its borders, I'll do anything!"
"You might find what I'm saying dismissive, but if you were in my shoes, you'd understand I had no other choice..."
