Pirate Throne of Salt

"Sister Mieko, I can just wash it with cold water. No need to trouble you."

"It's okay, Hiyori-chan. You can take a good bath. I don't have any guests at the moment. Come on, sister will help you take a bath."

Kozuki Hiyori looked at the sister in front of him who was kind to him, and smiled tenderly at her.

If it weren't for this sister Mieko, she might have starved to death on the street.

"Hiyori-chan, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"Well, later?"

Hiyori looked thoughtful in the hot spring. After that night, he was rescued by Uncle Ieyasu's men. However, in order to get rid of the enemy on the way, the samurai gentleman who rescued him was also brutally killed.

And Kozuki Hiyori has since become an orphan. Her former home has been burned to rubble. Except for a knife left by her father, she has nothing left. After three days of hunger, Hiyori... She was taken in by the sister in front of her. She has been working as a cleaner in this Kabuki hall for the past year. Although it is very tiring, the boss is also very kind and will give her food and clothes to ensure that she does not go hungry. Die or freeze to death.

"Sister Mieko, I don't know what I will do in the future... Before my mother left, she said someone would come and take me away in a year, so."

"Hiyori-chan, no one can predict the future. Besides, you are already like this. Maybe that person can't find you at all. How can they talk about taking you away?"

Mieko tied Hiyori's fluffy emerald hair into a small bun.

"Then what can Sister Mieko do?"

"Well, there is a way. Now, there is a samurai gentleman in the store. He is a high-ranking samurai. If Hiyori follows that samurai gentleman, he will definitely have a better life."

Kozuki Hiyori's skin is very white and tender. If it weren't for the fact that she was born into the Kozuki clan, she would definitely be pampered by others, but the reality is always so cruel.

"Sister Mieko, can I not go?"

Mieko's hands, which were dressing Hiyori, trembled slightly. Looking into Mitsuyuki Hiyori's eyes, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt in her heart, but this feeling passed by in a flash.

Little Hiyori, I'm sorry, I'm also doing it for my brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

Mieko kept comforting herself in her heart to wash away the guilt in her heart.

"Hiyori-chan, if you don't go, you might have to leave here, so..."

"Sister Mieko, if I really want to accompany guests like you do, you'd better drive me away."

When Mieko heard Hiyori's words, all the guilt in her heart disappeared in an instant.

"Hiyori, you have to understand who saved your life! If you don't go today..."

Hiyori bit her lip lightly. She was only eight years old and had experienced too much in this year. She understood what Mieko meant, but she really didn't want to live like Mieko.

……

"Hey, hey, Matthew, it's really magical. We actually spent a year like this inexplicably. It's like a dream."

Perhaps because he was used to being with Matthew, Shi Sheng's speech became more and more Matthew-like.

"This is the terrifying thing about this devil fruit. It ignores time and is simply like a bug."

"What is a bug?"

If you don’t understand, just ask, Shi Sheng is like a curious baby.

"Hey, by the way, Matthew, I just heard some good news, do you want to take a guess!?"

Matthew ignored Shi Sheng at this time and didn't know what was going on with this kid. After a year passed, his personality seemed to be a little different.

"Oops, you're bored now. Forget it, let me tell you directly. This week, of course, this week only, Kaido leads his pirate group on an expedition, so we only have one week. After finding the girl from the Kozuki family, we must escape from here quickly, otherwise when Kaido comes back, the monster’s knowledge and color may be able to find us directly!”

Matthew looked up at Shi Sheng.

"Then what? After you escape, where will you go?"

"Of course I am going back to Mr. Reilly. I originally thought that I was already very powerful at this time, but it seems that I am still far from it. Only by following Mr. Reilly can we become stronger. Only by being stronger can we be stronger next time. Protect your own life and the lives of your partners in this situation.”

When he said this, Shi Sheng was very serious. The feeling of powerlessness he felt when facing Jhin and Kaido seemed to still be before him.

"Hahahahahaha, that's how you look like. Let's go. I seem to have found Oden's daughter. She seems to be in some trouble."

Although Matthew's vision and color could not cover the entire Flower City, relying on the salt molecule particles in the air, he found that these things could be used as a medium to extend his vision and color, similar to a bonus like the Thunder Fruit. In Reilly's words, this seems to be a kind of control, or resonance.

"Huh? Found it? So fast?"

……

"Oh!"

The door to the largest kabuki hall in the center of the Flower City was knocked hard.

Wearing a blue kimono, with a very expensive sword on his waist, this outfit shocked the guests drinking in the lobby the moment the door opened, but no one in the private rooms on the second floor paid attention. to the first floor.

Tiny sounds came from the crowd in the hall.

"Whose young master is this? I've never seen him before!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, is this something you can ask about? Look at his knife, it's not an ordinary thing!"

"I guess he comes from a distinguished family!"

"Be confident and make an estimate."

……

Three kabukis with heavy makeup quickly came to Tokio and said flatteringly.

"May I ask what service your young master needs today?"

"Ask your best kabuki to come to the hall. I will be directly in the hall today."

After that, Shi Sheng walked to a table in the center of the hall and sat down, one leg raised arrogantly on the table, and a sword that looked very expensive was placed beside him, startling the guests around him.

"I will pay for all the expenses tonight!"

The crowd was silent for two seconds before bursting into loud roars.

"Oh! How brave!"

"Mr. Samurai, I have a daughter in my family. I wonder if the noble Mr. Samurai has..."

"Oh, oh, oh,!"

……

When the lobby on the first floor was in chaos, Matthew came to the second floor openly.

Because it is too close to the Daming Mansion in the Flower City, it is not certain whether the Black Carbon Orochi is here, so Matthew cannot directly destroy the Kabuki Hall and can only rely on this method to sneak in first.
