One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 321 Sun and Harmony
"Kill the pirates!!!"

People with various tools rushed over, but at this time the pirates have been controlled, and the warriors are cleaning up the mess.

A large number of wounded and howling wounded were lying on the crystal floor, and Chopper and fur tribe doctors were busy treating them.

And under the control of Yamato, those pirates who knew that the defeat was doomed just gathered together angrily, looking at the traitor who was Kaido's child but betrayed the Hundred Beasts Pirates with resentful eyes from time to time.

Seeing this scene where the dust has settled, seeing the erupting volcano on the side of Rabbit Don with my own eyes, combined with the battle situation played on the screen before, voices of choking or disbelief began to appear in the crowd:

"Win... did you win..."

"Did that Mr. Luffy with the straw hat win? Are we all free?"

"But the orphan of the Guangyue family said that they surrendered at a critical moment..."

"Speaking of which, where is the princess? She cut off the big snake's head, but she was also crushed under the rubble!"

........................

"What, what, what, why are you all here??" Momonosuke was so frightened that he changed from a dragon to a human, and now he was almost naked from his 8-year-old appearance to a 28-year-old body.

Fortunately, Shinobu had already prepared, and handed him the black kimono that he didn't know where to get, and sighed at the eight-pack abs and handsome face of his new adult body.

Momonosuke, who was turned into a 28-year-old adult by Shinobu with his ability, can be called handsome in appearance, with a tall, strong figure of two or three meters and well-defined muscles.

"At this time, it's time to show off the aura of being the new Wano country general," Lei Zang raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, unable to hold back the tears streaming down his face because of the victory, "Now we finally won, Everyone must be very impressed..."

"The princess is over there!!"

A shout suddenly came out of the crowd, and then most of the crowd ran to the other side. After looking at each other for a while, the rest of the crowd looked at the grown-up Momonosuke with some hesitation, and Momonosuke Assistant also looked at them with trembling hands and feet.

Hiyori, who was originally crushed by stones, was apparently rescued by someone. Her original exquisite hairstyle and clothing were already tattered. The disheveled hair and ragged clothes did not reveal the dignity of the past at all, but the blood and dust stained her face. His face is still outstanding.

Beside her were three bodies covered with white cloth. At this time, she was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly thinking about something, while Yan Mo, who was sheathed, was placed on her lap.The wind mixed with dust blew by, and the sleeve robe on her right was blown up empty.

"..." The people running here noticed her right hand before they could speak, and it took a while before someone choked up and said in a low voice, "My lord princess, your right hand..."

"Compared to those samurai lords who lost their lives fighting for the Wano country, what is my hand..." Hiyori paused, and reached out to lift the white cloth of the nearest body, "Although After 20 years, everyone must still have an impression of Kin'emon-dono..."

"Isn't it a lie?!", a few grown-ups leaned forward and carefully identified it. Even with blood stains on their faces, they could recognize this as the leader of the Red Sheath Nine Heroes under Kozuki Oden 20 years ago, Foxfire Kinemon , "It's really Kin'emon-sama! Why does he look exactly the same as 20 years ago?"

"20 years ago, my mother sent Kin'emon-sama and brother-sama to 20 years later, and it was also this year. In order to save the Wano country, they found powerful helpers, and they also defeated Kaido and his powerful subordinates. We..." Hiyori said softly, then stood up holding Yan Mo unsteadily, "Masters, I have a heartfelt request..."

Seeing Hiyori's face pale and about to fall down at any moment, they immediately asked for help, "My lord princess, please tell me!"

Hiyori looked at the ghost island that was split into several pieces in the distance, and said quietly, "There are still many of our companions there, please help bring them back..."

"Yes!" After discussing, they left a few people here to help, and then the others went to search the Ghost Island with the samurai.

Not long after, the grown-up Momanosuke also ran over excitedly with a group of people, and when he saw his younger sister who hadn't seen him for a while but had grown into a beautiful woman, tears were about to flow, "Hiyori! "

"Brother..." Hiyori subconsciously wanted to run a few steps towards him, but soon lost his balance because of the broken right hand.

Momonosuke hurriedly helped her up, expressing how tall he is now, but soon he noticed the right sleeve that Hiyori could see, and he grabbed the fluffy fabric in his hand, his face changed drastically, "This ...what the hell happened??"

"It's just a small price," Hiyori just pulled back his sleeves sideways, took a few steps back and raised his head and said, "Since the elder brother is back, let the elder brother announce the result of this battle to the villagers. Everyone We are all eager to hear the result that Orochi and Kaido have been defeated and will not be persecuting Wano Country, and also want to hear the news from all benefactors."

"But Luffy and the others said that they don't want everyone to know too much... They don't want to be heroes..." Momonosuke scratched his head, a little at a loss.

"Everyone already knows about Lord Lufei's personality and some of their stories. Everyone believes that Lord Luffy and the others are different pirates from Kaido and the others." Hiyori said with a light smile, "Everyone Knowing that it was His Excellency Luffy and they defeated Kaido, now we are just waiting for an announcement."

"But my... how do I know what to say to them..." Momonosuke felt apprehensive, and when he saw the expectant eyes cast by everyone, he became even more ignorant.

He is only 8 years old, and he didn't learn much about governing the country when he was with Mrs. Mi Tianheshi.What's more, judging from the time Kozuki Oden lived in Wano Country, he didn't know how to govern Wano Country.

Otherwise, Wano Country wouldn't be in a mess now.

"Then..." Hiyori thought about his life from childhood to adulthood, summed up his experience immediately, and said with a smile, "Just tell them what they want to hear. What they need now is hope, the expectation of the future general, and a clear answer. A life where Orochi and Kaido never appear again."

Thinking of Hiyori's false identity in Wano Country, Asura scratched his head and wanted to say something, but remained silent.

"That's right...then go and prepare first..." Momonosuke continued to tremble, and could only discuss countermeasures with Inuarashi, who had managed Takugo, and who had managed Takugo.

"Then the inferiors will take the others into the castle and bring out the companions who are still there," Ashura and Raizo decided to help clean up the mess first, after all, the others still have work to do.

"..." Yizang just knelt down next to his brother's corpse silently, slightly lifted the white cloth with trembling hands, only to see that there were still tears in his unwilling eyes.

Hiyori didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he could only whisper, "Please forgive me."

"It is his honor as a warrior to die in battle for the lord." Yizang reached out to close his eyes and covered the white cloth again, then turned around and bowed his head deeply to Hihe, "Thank you, Princess, for bringing your brother come out."

"The concubine can only do this."

"Then I'll go over and help you." Yizang left here quickly after nodding his head to Rihe again.

"My concubine will always stay here, please rest assured." Hiyori also nodded to his back, and then silently looked at Momanosuke who was discussing the content of the speech not far away.After recalling everything since preparing for the battle, she suddenly felt unwilling.

In this Wano country... what else can she do besides laughing...

Noticing that her mood was not right, Denjiro, who had been silently guarding nearby, was a little worried, "Princess?"

"I'm just thinking about it, Denjiro..." Hiyori held Yan Mo tightly with the only remaining hand, and said with a slight smile, "I just discovered today that women can also be free, strong and confident. They don't have to obey many, many unnecessary rules, and they don't have to live their lives behind men's backs."

"Princess, you have been influenced too much by Encore. They are all pirates." Denjiro always felt that something was wrong, and quickly helped her to sit on a nearby rock, "There are many outstanding women in Wano, For example, your mother is Mrs. Shi! She is a very respected woman."

"The high probability is that she is Kozuki Oden's wife, just like my brother and I, just because we are the children of our father Kozuki Oden, we are born to be valued by everyone." Hiyori stated the facts calmly, with a confused expression on his face , "What will the rest of my life be like? Hiding behind my elder brother who is the general of Wano country, occasionally playing the piano and accompanying wine for important guests, how is this different from the life in a brothel? ?”

"It will definitely not be the same, my lord princess! Now that everyone knows your identity, your future life will definitely be extremely free!"

"How do you know? That's because Mr. Anke used this face to save Mr. Kang's family, summoned the samurai and issued a pre-war declaration." God, I couldn't help laughing out loud, "And when I imitated her, just a smile can scare those pirates. And the smile of my concubine is just a cheap commodity in the eyes of everyone, even me I am a commodity…”

Denjiro couldn't keep up with her jumping thinking, but he was sure that the Hiyori in front of him was different from the past.

She has been attracted by those pirate girls from the outer sea, and yearns for their free and powerful life.

This woman who was bound by the rules and regulations of the ancient Wano country wanted to break out of her cocoon and become a butterfly.

And presumably, someone had ignited the flame of her inner struggle before and threw an olive branch to her.

[Is it influenced by Encore-sama...], it is not difficult for Denjiro to think why Hiyori has such an idea, and the strong and free spirit of a woman is a big treason in Wano country.

However, Denjiro looked at the rare longing and determination in Hiyori's eyes, and knew that it was impossible for him to persuade her back, even without anyone's assistance, she would create a path that belonged to Kozuki Hiyori.

Even if a moth flies to a flame, she will not stop.

[No, Miss Anker has paved the way. ], Denjiro recalled the little things that happened when he was preparing for the war, but the face of the traitor was slightly sweating, [Now the people of Wano country believe that it was Hiyori who shot the big snake and saved the Kang family, Conquered to the whole country, led the troops to attack Onishima and cut off the head of Orochi... What's more, Hiyori-sama lived with humiliation in Wano Country for 20 years. I feel sorry for her.In the past, the noble princess was reduced to prostitution, but she has endured the humiliation to avenge her family's hatred and hatred to this day. I'm afraid everyone will think so. ]
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Denjiro secretly observed the expressions of the samurai and civilians around him, and as expected, he found that they were all worried about Hiyori, and he also came to a more terrifying conclusion in his heart, [I'm afraid now... Hiyori His prestige is even higher than that of Momonosuke-sama who disappeared for 20 years and then parachuted...]
The country's future generals have become ambiguous...

Hiyori looked up at the full moon in the sky, thinking about his future calmly and longingly, "I heard a very interesting idea from Master Encore, and I want to realize it~"

Denjiro looked at the self-confidence and determination on the face of the woman he had protected for 20 years, and knew that she would live out her own image from now on.Just as he recognized her 20 years ago, Denjiro just knelt down on one knee to express his unchanging loyalty, "You will always have my loyalty, Princess."
