After Beast Kaido was killed by Maple Night and died a heroic death, the Beast Pirates quickly fled the country of Wano under the leadership of Jhin and Quinn.
Today, in Wano Country, basically only the original samurai warriors of Wano Country are left, and one can feel an undercurrent surging throughout the country.
In the wilderness somewhere.
At the entrance of a seemingly hidden cave, a little Luoli with blue hair who looked about eight years old was squatting there, holding his knees with his hands.
There were many traces of sewing on her clothes, and there was a lot of dirty dust on her cheeks. She looked very hard-working.
She is Hiyori Kozuki.
The daughter of Kozuki Oden, and Kozuki Momonosuke are both the orthodox heirs of this country.
After Kozuki Oden's death, she escaped from Goten Castle under the protection of Kappa Kawamatsu. However, due to the Kurotan Orochi's search throughout the country, she could only hide in the wilderness to evade capture.
"..."
Kozuki sent Momonosuke and others twenty years in the future, but it has only been four years now, and there are still sixteen years left.
This means that she still needs to continue to avoid being hunted by the black charcoal snake and survive in the cracks for sixteen years.
But that's not what she's worried about now.
She is worried about changes in the environment.
Ever since Black Carbon Orochi, with the support of Kaido, began to aggressively transform the country of Wano and build various weapons factories, the environment of Wano Country has continued to suffer damage.
At first Hesong took her to hide in the mountains and forests, and it was easy to get enough food every day, but now things have changed significantly.
Hesong had to go out for almost a whole day to bring back enough food, which became extremely hard.
She could almost foresee that in a few years she might not even be able to get enough food to eat. After all, she had little ability to survive, and her appetite would gradually increase.
She decided that if the food became insufficient for two people to survive, then she would leave and find a way to survive by herself without dragging Hesong down.
And just when Hiyori was thinking this.
She was suddenly startled, turned around and saw two figures appearing in the forest in the distance, walking towards here.
"That is……"
Hiyori was slightly startled and immediately hid in the cave.
Although she was far away and blocked by bushes, so she couldn't see the other person clearly, she could tell that it was not a river pine!
sand,sand,sand,
Listening to the rustling of branches and bushes getting closer and closer, Hiyori's expression gradually became tense. She grabbed the corners of her clothes with her little hands and tried hard not to make any noise.
But the rustling sound finally stopped outside the cave.
Hiyori was extremely nervous.
And almost at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness behind her and patted her shoulder.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
Hiyori was tensing up when his voice suddenly echoed through the entire cave, and he desperately fled out of the cave with a frightened look on his face.
Frightened, she panicked and didn't choose a way out. Before she could run out of the cave, she tripped on a stone and fell forward.
"Why are you scaring her..."
Feng Ye stood outside the cave and glanced at Robin next to him. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his hand and waved.
Hiyori was about to fall to the hole like a ball and then roll out. His body suddenly froze in the air and stopped about a foot away from the ground.
It felt like she had fallen into a ball of cotton, and then her whole body flew upwards, being lifted to the entrance of the hole by the invisible force, and tilted back, allowing her to sit on the ground.
Robin looked at Hiyori and tilted his head and said, "Is he younger than me this time?"
Feng Ye's mouth trembled.
What do you mean it's younger than her this time?!
I always feel that his image in Robin's mind seems to have been distorted in some way, and her current thoughts are also very dangerous.
"Huh...huh..."
Rihe, who was lifted up by Feng Ye's strength and placed on the ground, gasped for air. There was still a bit of fright in his eyes, so that his whole body became limp and weak.
It wasn't until a few seconds passed that she managed to calm down a little and looked at Feng Ye and Robin not far in front of her.
"You...you are..."
Hiyori gasped slightly and bit her lip before speaking.
Were they finally found by Black Carbon Orochi's people? Moreover, Hesong also went out to look for food and was no longer here.
"Is it Hiyori?"
Feng Ye looked at Rihe and smiled slightly.
Hiyori's heart tightened, but she still managed to remain calm on the surface and shook her head, saying: "Yes, I'm sorry, I don't know the person named Hiyori. You must have mistaken the person..."
A glimmer of light flashed in Feng Ye's eyes, and he carefully examined the Luoli in front of him, and soon confirmed that the girl in front of him was indeed Kozuki Hiyori, Kozuki Toki's daughter.
He smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I'm not here to catch you... because I got something from your mother before, so in response, I will compensate you with something."
"Why?"
Hiyori was surprised.
If Feng Ye was the person sent by Orochi to capture her, he probably wouldn't say such things. Even if it was to confirm her identity, he probably wouldn't make up such things.
And looking at Feng Ye's eyes that exuded azure luster, she didn't know why, but she instinctively felt a sense of trust.
"you are……"
Hiyori stood up, looked at Feng Ye and asked softly.
Feng Ye smiled softly and said, "You can call me Mr. Feng Ye. By the way, you still don't know what happened in Wano Country?"
"What happened in Wano Country?"
Hiyori was slightly surprised.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the big snake, she and Kawamatsu had been hiding in the remote wilderness, as far away from towns and villages as possible, and knew nothing about what was happening in Wano Country.
Feng Ye did not answer Hiyori, but suddenly glanced not far away and chuckled: "The person responsible for explaining is here."
As Feng Ye's words fell.
A voice filled with disbelief and surprise came from afar.
"Your Highness the Princess! Your Highness the Princess!!"
"I just received news in the town that Kaido, the beast, is dead and was killed!!"
The sound traveled quickly from far to near.
You can see a fat creature that looks like an angry bird, jumping and running from the forest with great agility, screaming loudly as it runs. It is the kappa river pine.
"Why!!"
When Hiyori heard Kawamatsu's voice, she couldn't help but cover her mouth subconsciously, showing a somewhat incredulous expression. She looked towards the direction Kawamatsu was flying in and said, "That Kaido is dead?!"
Even though she is very young, she also knows who her biggest enemy is. It is not the black charcoal snake, but the beast Kaido standing behind the snake!
That is the biggest enemy of the Guangyue clan!
If Kaido is not defeated, Orochi's rule will never be overthrown, and as long as Kaido is defeated, Orochi will be no problem.
But Kaido's strength is extremely terrifying. Even her father Kozuki Oden failed in the end. It is obviously impossible to win Kaido by relying on their power. That existence is a complete monster!
But now,
That monster is dead!
This news made her feel for a moment that she was still in a dream.
"Princess Palace...Eh?!"
Kawamatsu, who rushed here, continued to shout, with ecstasy in his words, reporting the good news to Hiyori, but his voice stopped abruptly, because he saw Hiyori standing in front of the cave, and also saw
Maple Night and Robin stood in front of Hiyori.
Its fat body paused in the air, rolled a few times, and landed behind Hiyori. It almost subconsciously pulled out its sword and looked at Fengye and Robin warily.
