People in One Piece are so good-looking

but.

That was ten years ago. The Black Carbon Orochi has been able to rule Wano Country for so many years because of its allies, the Beast Pirates and Kaido.

As long as he destroys the Beast Pirates, the haze that has shrouded the people of Wano Country will naturally dissipate.

"In the entire Flower City area, how many people like you are hiding in the mountains because they cannot survive due to heavy taxes?"

Nuo Xia suddenly spoke and asked the leading bandit boy.

"Report to the Lord." The bandit boy said tremblingly, "There have been a lot more in the past two years. Now, it is estimated that there must be three or four thousand..."

Three or four thousand.

Nuo Xia was silent and put down the teacup in his hand.

The Flower City is already the most prosperous and rich place in the entire Wano Country. There are so many people in this place who have become bandits.

You can imagine how bad the situation is in the more barren and chaotic areas such as Jiuli, Tuwan, and Linghou.

The Bandit Rebellion is just a small microcosm of the current situation in Wano Country under the high-pressure rule of the Beast Pirates.

Nuo Xia looked at A He, who clasped his palms together again and cast a pleading look at him. Nuo Xia sighed and finally nodded slightly to her.

A smile suddenly broke out on Ahe's face, while Nuo Xia turned his eyes and looked at the group of bandits next to him.

"Put away all the tables and chairs that you have chopped down, and then let's go."

The bandits, who were kneeling on the ground anxiously, suddenly heard such a sentence, and immediately raised their heads in surprise, some of them couldn't believe their ears.

"Move quickly, before I regret it." Nuo Xia added lightly.

"Yes...yes, sir!"

The bandits didn't dare to delay any longer. They got up in a panic and hurriedly cleaned up the chaotic tea shed and restored it to its original state.

A moment later, under the leadership of the leading young man, all the bandits knelt down again and kowtowed three times to Nuo Xia and the proprietress Ah He, before carefully retreating.

"Eh?"

Ah He suddenly found something under the corner of the table. He bent down to pick it up and was shocked to find that it was the purse she had given to those young men before.

"well……"

She looked at the distant mountains and forests gradually disappearing from behind, sighed, said nothing, silently lowered her head and wiped the table.

Nuo Xia looked at her busy figure without saying a word. After silently drinking the last cup of tea, he left a little money and then disappeared in a flash.

Morning tea time is over and it’s time to get down to business.

…

Half an hour later.

On the coastal border of Wano Country, a stream of light flew out from the cliff and headed straight to the north.

In the blue lightning, Nuo Xia's face was expressionless.

On the way out of the teahouse just now, he had already searched every inch of Wano Country with his sense of sight, but he could not find even half of the Beast Pirates' cadres.

This didn't surprise him.

After he appeared at the tea party last month and killed BIGMOM, the whole New World went viral that he would take action against the Beast Pirates.

Even Galio VI and the others who were thousands of kilometers away had heard of this rumor, not to mention the Beast Pirates, who had probably already entered the highest alert state.

In the original land of Wano, there were many members of the Beasts Pirates scattered around. Now they are nowhere to be seen. Apparently, they were all recalled by Kaido.

Waiting for work with ease, waiting for hard work...

Looking towards the far end of the coastline, Nosha sneered. All the forces of the Beast Pirates were obviously concentrated on the Ghost Island, their home base.

"It just saves trouble!"

There was a cold look in Noxia's eyes. The Beast Pirates didn't want to make the same mistake as Charlotte, so they shrunk in one place and were fully prepared.

But to him, there is no difference at all!

…

Ghost Island.

This is a small and medium-sized island nearly 100 kilometers north of Wano. It looks like a giant horn of a ghost. The palace complex located in the center of the island is the headquarters of the Beast Pirates.

Boom!

Muffled thunder rolled from the sky, and the thunder stopped directly above the palace complex. After it dispersed, Nuo Xia's figure was revealed.

"strangeness."

Nuo Xia looked down, his eyes wandering back and forth among the palaces, his brows slightly wrinkled, a little confused.

The huge palace complex was deserted and silent, except for the cold flames floating in the hollow eyes of the ghost giant, and there was almost no breath of living people on the entire island.

Is there an ambush?

This was an idea that came to Nuo Xia's mind, but was quickly rejected by him.

After three years of training, his knowledge and appearance are now at the top of the world. Not to mention the three disasters and ordinary cadres, not even Kaido can hide under his induction.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Just ask someone to find out.

Uh-huh!

His figure flickered, and the next moment, Nuo Xia landed on the steps directly in front of the palace, looking into the gate.

There are very few living creatures that can be sensed on the entire Ghost Island, and the only human being is sitting on the threshold of this gate.

It was a tall figure wearing a Prajna mask with red devil horns. The white cloak he wore was tattered and dirty, and his whole body was covered with bruises from being beaten and flattened.

The other party had been sitting there for a long time, as if just waiting for him. At this moment, he finally saw Nuo Xia appear and suddenly stood up.

"Ghost tribesman?"

Nuo Xia's eyes were first attracted by the red devil's horns. When he saw the other party standing up, he frowned slightly and said coldly:

"Take off the mask, I have a few questions for you."

"Yeah!"

The other party's movements were quite simple. He pulled off the Prajna mask, threw it aside, and shook his long, gradient white hair, revealing a beautiful and charming face.

Girls?

Nuo Xia was slightly startled and looked surprised.

The girl in front of her was slim and graceful, with impressive curves, but she was so tightly covered by the white cloak that she didn't notice it just now.

"You are finally here, Lord Noxia!"

There was no look of fear or timidity on the white-haired girl's face. Instead, she stood on tiptoe with her hands behind her back, and looked up with a hopeful and happy smile:

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"

The girl has a valiant temperament, and there is only a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, but when she smiles, her scarred face and dimples are particularly sweet and moving.

That look inexplicably reminded Nuo Xia of the time when he first met Nokigao. His heart softened, his murderous aura dissipated, and his voice became much softer:

"Who are you, Kaido?"

"Yamato! My name is Romanov Yamato!"

The girl's answer was simple and unexpected, "As for Kaido, that guy has already escaped!"

Romanov Yamato?

Noxia was stunned, but soon her attention was attracted by the second half of the girl's words. She frowned: "What did you say? Kaido ran away?"

"Yes, Lord Noxia!"

The white-haired girl couldn't help grinning, as if the mention of this matter made her very happy, "That despicable man didn't dare to be your enemy at all. After hearing about Wan Guo, he hesitated for several days. In the end, I lost all my family fortune, took my cadres to sea and ran away!"

ha?

After receiving the girl's confirmation, Nuo Xia finally couldn't hide the look of astonishment on her face.

What are you doing!

I had come all the way here, prepared to fight one against ten thousand and get into a tough fight.

Then you told me...

——Kaido ran away overnight carrying a bucket?

…………

One minute later.

On both sides of the steps in front of the threshold, the two sat opposite each other. Nuo Xia crossed her legs and pinched her chin with her hand, chewing on what the girl just said. Her face was full of bewilderment, and she still couldn't believe this ridiculous fact.

The majestic emperor of the sea, the immortal Kaido, known as "the strongest creature in the world", when he heard that he was coming, he took all his subordinates and ran away overnight. The belongings were moved very cleanly, leaving only an empty lair.

This is just great.

In the vast new world, where can I find it?

"Everything I say is true, just believe me, Lord Noxia!"

A girl's voice came to my ears.

"It's not that I suspect you are lying to me, it's just that this news is a bit too outrageous, you have to let me digest it..."

Nosha shook his head and sighed. In his eyes, Kaido, although he was an enemy before, was still the image of a generation of tyrants who spanned the sea. He even dared to break into the headquarters alone to seek death, and he still laughed arrogantly despite all the punishments.

Now, the character has completely collapsed.

He looked up at the white-haired girl opposite and asked curiously:

"Oh, by the way, speaking of which, Yamato, who are you from Kaido? Looking at your head, you should be one of his clan, right? Why are you the only one left on Onigashima?"

"That guy..." Yamato curled his lips, "In terms of blood, he is my father. If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't want to admit it..."

The white-haired girl seemed to have great trust in herself. No need for Nuo Xia to ask a question, she was like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, refreshingly shaking off her life experience.

Kozuki Oden.

This is the girl's original name, or rather, her second name.

Ten years ago, when she was still a little girl, she witnessed the boiling and torture incident of Kozuki Oden. Since then, she has been worshiping Oden and considered herself a male for a long time. She even changed her name and wanted to become a man like Oden.

As for the pirate forces headed by her father Kaido, due to her straightforward nature, hatred of evil, and strong sense of justice, she can be said to have a deep hatred for her. She has always wanted to defeat her father, liberate the country of Wano, and end the Beasts Pirates. and the brutal rule of the Black Carbon Orochi.

This is what she has always thought and what she has always done.

However, a girl's dream of justice is often vulnerable to the cruelty of reality.

She had angrily rebuked countless times to stop the atrocities, and challenged Kaido countless times. All she got was ridicule and ridicule, and Kaido beat her up countless times.

He was even impatient and imprisoned him and several other samurai in a cave on Onigashima for ten days, almost starving to death.

Kaido also put a special bomb chain on her wrist, threatening that if she dared to go out to sea and leave Wano Country, she would be blown to pieces immediately.

Fear, evil, despicability...this is the image of Kaido as a father in Yamato's eyes.

Until, one year later.

In the battle on Hal Island, Kaido failed to defeat Nosha and became furious after returning. Yamato was also affected by Chiyu and was severely beaten.

But it was precisely because of this that she became strongly curious about Nuo Xia, who was able to equal her father at the age of twenty, and began to secretly use various means to try to find out information about Nuo Xia.

Asking people everywhere, collecting newspapers... She learned more and more about Nuo Xia, and while she admired him more and more, she also learned more about the outside world.

The samurai spirit she had always believed in was eclipsed, and she finally woke up and realized that methods and routes like Oden's could not solve Wano's problems.

From that day on, Yamato changed his surname to Romanov, and has always dreamed of escaping to sea one day, becoming an excellent navy, fighting side by side with Nosha, completely defeating the Beast Pirates, and saving this man trapped in hell. country.

Unfortunately……

"I can't escape..."

Nuo Xia turned his head and saw that Yamato, who was sitting opposite him, had already sat in front of him at some point, hugging his knees, with a look of grievance on his face, "Mr. Nuo Xia, do you know that I , I have always wanted to go to Malinfando to see you, but..."

She shook the bomb bracelet on her hand in frustration, "That hateful man has never untied this. As soon as I leave the waters of Wano Country, it will..."

Nuo Xia's eyes fell on it. A bomb that would explode automatically when leaving a specific area? Is the validity period still that long?

He has never seen this kind of black technology in his headquarters.

"let me see."

He frowned, feeling that there must be something fishy, ​​and stretched out a hand. Yamato immediately raised his arms obediently.

Nuo Xia pinched the girl's wrist and observed it carefully for a while. After scanning the inner structure of the bracelet, she shook her head in confusion.

"What...what happened?" Yamato looked at him nervously.

"You were deceived by Kaido, Yamato." Nosha sighed and put down the girl's wrist. "Those mechanisms above are just disguises. This bracelet is just an ordinary sea stone handcuff."

"Fake?"

Yamato's eyes widened and he screamed, "How could it be possible! I obviously asked Aunt Sena secretly. She has always loved me very much. Shouldn't..."

"I love you because you are Kaido's daughter and the sole heir to the Beast Pirates' family fortune."

Noxia shook her head, "If you had known the truth about the bomb bracelet, I'm afraid you would have sneaked out of Wano Country long ago. What would she have to explain to the furious Kaido?"

"That's right..."

Yamato's expression suddenly lost. She was silent for a long time. She raised her arms and squinted at the bracelet that had trapped her for ten years in the sun. She didn't know what she was thinking.

Nuo Xia touched her head, but he couldn't comfort her, so he simply changed the topic: "Although you and Kaido have a bad relationship, they are her daughters after all. This time he leaves the Ghost Island, and ordinary cadres can take him with him." I took him away, why didn’t I take you with me?”
