Seeing Carina and Nami walking quickly behind her, Kozuki Hiyori's cheeks did indeed turn red with embarrassment.
However, after the two women comforted him, his tense nerves visibly relaxed, and the awkwardness from before dissipated considerably.
"Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside quickly."
"By the way, where did Yamato go?!"
Carina, holding Kozuki Hiyori's hand, was about to enter the bathhouse when she froze on the spot.
"She didn't really go in with Lord Bai Yu, did she? If so, won't it cause some trouble!"
Seeing that Yamato had disappeared, the three women quickly rushed into the women's bathroom to look for Yamato.
Meanwhile, inside a private room in the men's bathhouse.
Bai Yu simply waved his hand and booked the entire bathhouse.
So, I'm enjoying a relaxing bath all to myself.
As soon as I was in the water, I saw a figure dressed in a thin veil, whose presence was enough to make one's blood boil, walk in quickly.
While taking a bath, Yamato still carried the terrifyingly large spiked club.
However, it still couldn't hide her stunning figure.
"Indeed, men feel most comfortable bathing with other men. You don't mind if you bathe with me, do you?"
Yamato walked directly to Bai Yu's side, quickly removing the thin veil.
Finally, the scene that unfolded before his eyes instantly ignited Bai Yu's youthful vigor.
Young man, on the third day of the third lunar month, the dragon raises its head!
However, in this situation now, there's no need to distinguish between seasons.
However, just as these blood-pumping thoughts flashed through Bai Yu Bai Yu's mind, he instantly came up with an extremely absurd idea.
Kaido of the Beasts has always raised Yamato his son.
Others would also address Yamato as "Young Master".
Yamato also sees himself as Kozuki Oden.
Now, suddenly, he's here, bathing with me.
There must be a reason for that, right?
" Bai Yu, let me rub your back!"
"But you'll have to help me later."
Yamato didn't hesitate either, walking directly behind Bai Yu and starting to attack on his own.
This action is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, making the situation worse.
However, Bai Yu is, after all, one of the Four Emperors, and he still has that damned composure.
Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Bai Yu rolled his eyes at Yamato helplessly.
" Yamato, do you know what men and women are?"
"Male and female?"
Yamato paused for a moment before speaking.
"In the Beasts Pirates, they all call me 'Young Master,' and I'm the reincarnation of Kozuki Oden, so of course I'm male."
"A guy's just got bigger pecs, and then..."
Yamato spoke, he began to sized up Bai Yu.
However, when her gaze fell on the water, her cheeks flushed instantly.
He froze on the spot, as if he had been electrocuted.
Several seconds passed before he stammered out his sentence.
"Did they all lie to me before?"
Bai Yu nodded helplessly.
"Probably. The man's is handled, but the woman's is different, so they came to the wrong place."
"However, if you don't mind, you can finish wiping your back before you leave!"
ah!
A sound like a pig being slaughtered rang out.
However, it wasn't Yamato; rather, it came from outside the gate.
At least, Bai Yu knew clearly that he had been seen naked by the three men again.
This was a huge loss; Bai Yu almost tore off all of their little towels.
A full half hour passed.
Bai Yu walked out of the bathhouse, drinking alone in frustration.
As for the four women, after the farce that just happened, they were clearly blushing and mustered up their courage, and went to take a bath together again.
Bai Yu was alone, listlessly walking towards the tavern not far away.
Bai Yu knew perfectly well that after the battle in Wano Country, the balance of power in this sea had been completely disrupted.
Whether it's the Five Elders, Imu, or other forces, they will definitely be eager to make a move.
You could say that now is the time to steal a moment of leisure amidst the busy schedule.
If today passes, who knows when trouble will come knocking again.
That's why Bai Yu wore this mask, secretly enjoying his rare opportunity to be a hands-off manager on the island.
As for the discussion about whether or not it should have a handle, that was an unexpected source of joy.
"Boss, give me a Bloody Mari!"
Bai Yu walked straight into the tavern without causing a ripple in the already noisy place.
Of course, the face mask also plays a role.
Moreover, there are countless such islands within the Grand Line.
No one would have thought that it would be such a coincidence to run into the new maritime emperor.
Soon, just as Bai Yu sat down, the bloodstained Mari was brought up by the boss.
Looking at the crimson glass of wine, Bai Yu felt a pang of envy. His thoughts drifted back to the days in Windmill Village when he would go there every day to mooch drinks.
Unfortunately, this Bloody Mari is not the same as it used to be, and the owner is no longer the charming Makino.
Everything has changed.
"Hehe, I never thought I'd be sentimental like this. It seems standing atop a mountain is truly lonely. It's been almost a year since I went to sea, so why am I feeling so melancholic now?"
"However, sometimes I do have to go back and visit, otherwise I'll forget about Makino's cooking skills, and I wonder if she'll scold me for freeloading and stop calling her 'Auntie'."
Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, then downed the Bloody Mari in one gulp.
Looking at the massive figure that had somehow sat down beside him, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
This guy was wearing a mask too, just like me. Was he also hiding his identity?
"Haha, kid, I never thought that on this vast ocean, there would be people who aren't just roughnecks, but who know how to drink such a deep and strong liquor."
The old man burst into laughter, and his nearly four- or five-meter-tall body trembled with mirth.
He glanced at Bai Yu and then spoke.
"It seems we're kindred spirits, and neither of us wants to show our true faces. That's fine; we're friends now that we've met. Today, I'll treat you to a drink."
"Boss, two Bloody Mari, please!"
Seeing the elderly man's exceptionally magnanimous manner as soon as he spoke, Bai Yu initially intended to refuse, but ultimately accepted the offer with a smile.
After clinking glasses, Bai Yu was the first to tilt his head back and drink it all.
The old man standing nearby was no exception.
The glass was emptied, but the conversation didn't begin.
Bai Yu simply smiled nonchalantly and asked the owner to refill his drink.
Then, ten or eight times in a row, as a series of Bloody Mari went down his throat, the old man's tongue visibly began to get tied in knots.
This is all thanks to Bai Yu's high alcohol tolerance, honed through Tenten practice; otherwise, Bai Yu would be fast asleep on stage by now.
However, taking advantage of this opportunity, the old man finally opened up and began to speak, his tongue tied in knots.
"Youngster, you've certainly surpassed your master! But don't underestimate this old man just because I'm stammering now. Back in the day, I was the biggest drinker on the whole ship."
"Don't let my appearance fool you, I've drunk with the Pirate King before. As for those so-called Pirate Emperor on the seas now, they're just a joke for little kids."
"By the way, you brat, you're not some fan of that Pirate Emperor, are you? If so, I'm not going to bother talking to you anymore."
"However, this ocean is so vast, I don't believe I'll actually encounter that Pirate Emperor."
"If I ever run into him, I'll make sure he experiences the power of our old era."
