One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 309: Hiyori Kozuki's Fear

When Kaido brought the three little guys back to Onigashima, Lily had been waiting for a long time. The hot water was ready, the clothes were prepared, and Lily threw the three people directly into the bath. Although they had taken cold showers in three months, they only had one set of clothes to change, and there was so much training. In fact, the three little guys were almost rotten, and they must be washed well. As for Kaido? He was too old, Lily didn't need to worry about this matter, just wash it yourself.

After scrubbing the three little ones vigorously and rubbing out at least a pound of mud (I wonder if northern readers have had the experience of having their parents scrub their bodies when they were young; it was really painful, and for some reason, they just couldn't rub it off, and their parents kept rubbing it all over them), Lily changed the three into new clothes that she had prepared long ago.

"Mom, is Hiyori going to Aunt Lingling's place too?" Yamato asked as he got dressed.

"Go, she's already prepared and has been waiting for you. Many people will go this time." Lily smoothed out the wrinkles on Yamato's clothes, then helped Maria adjust the hairpins in her bun and tied Jack's shoelaces before saying.

"Can my parents go?" Maria asked.

"Everyone go. I've told them. By the way, your mermaid friend Xia Li will go too. This time Lingling asked me to help invite the dessert chef from Fishman Island, so I asked someone to bring the child named Xia Li here." Lily said.

"Charlie is coming too! That's great! Will Brother Aaron come too?" The first person to answer was Jack. He had always been reluctant to leave Aaron because he was really good at telling stories.

"That's right. After all, Xia Li is too young, and Aaron won't let her go out alone." Lily thought for a while and said, she knew too much about this kind of sister complex, because Jhin is only stronger than Aaron.

"Um, mother, are you ready?" A timid voice came from behind the door. Upon hearing the voice, Yamato instantly became excited. He rushed over with a quick step and brought a ball in his arms.

"What are you doing hiding behind the door, Hiyori?" Yamato walked in holding Hiyori, who was lying in Yamato's arms at this time, not daring to look at Lily.

"Oh, get ready, we're leaving." Lily sighed as she looked at Hiyori. Although Hiyori and Yamato had a good relationship, she was always afraid of Kaido and Lily. A four-year-old child actually understood some things. Although no one dared to gossip under Kaido and Lily's noses, Hiyori could still remember what her biological parents looked like, and she knew very well that Kaido and Lily were not her biological mother. Although she didn't know where her biological parents had gone, perhaps because her biological father Kozuki Oden died at the hands of Kaido, Hiyori trembled when she saw Kaido, and she was also a little afraid of Lily.

Lily knew that she couldn't push Hiyori too hard, she needed to adapt. Isn't this some progress? At least she can call Lily mother, right? But for Kaido, perhaps because of that ferocious face, Hiyori still couldn't speak when she saw Kaido.

"Great! Hiyori, I will treat you to delicious food when we go to Wanguo this time. The snacks there are especially delicious. A friend of mine is coming too. She is a mermaid named Shirley. She has no legs, but a fish tail. She also has a brother who is good at telling stories. Let me tell you..." Yamato's outgoing nature began to play a role again. He kept talking and took over the conversation with Hiyori directly. In fact, Hiyori could accept Lily and call Lily "mother" thanks to Yamato. As a person with social compulsion, more than 80% of Hiyori's nervousness was dispelled by Yamato.

Several people came to the dock. At this time, the fleet of Baishou was already ready on the dock. Because this was a long-awaited team building, many people chose to go. The dock was crowded with people. Maria saw her parents at a glance. After saying something to Lily, she ran directly to find her parents.

"Uh-huh, why are you so slow, Lily?" Kaido was already standing on the Beast King's ship and shouted at Lily.

"Do you think everyone is like you? Just rinse with water and think it's a bath? Don't take bathing a child seriously." Lily rolled her eyes at Kaido and boarded the Beast King with her three children. At this time, Hiyori had buried her head completely in Yamato's arms, not daring to look up, and her body began to tremble unconsciously.

"Dad! You scared Hiyori!" Yamato looked at Hiyori and shouted at Kaido?

"Hiss, why is this child still like this? I didn't do anything to her." Kaido looked at Hiyori in Yamato's arms and scratched his head in some surprise. This child was just afraid of seeing him. He really didn't scare her. Kaido was not so mean as to be so picky about a child.

"Alas, this is what changes in the environment are like. Don't worry, it's much better now. When she grows up, she should be able to adapt. She just hasn't adapted yet." In front of the child, Lily couldn't say it so bluntly. She couldn't just say that you killed Hiyori's father, so she was afraid of your aura, right? "I hope so. Speaking of which, Quinn didn't go? This is really strange. Normally, he would be the first to jump high for such things. This time he could resist the temptation of sweets and excitement. What on earth is this kid studying? It can make this kid change his nature directly." Kaido took another look at Hiyori in Yamato's arms. Since he decided to adopt her, Kaido would not give up halfway, so he changed the subject at the right time.

"I'm not really sure. After all, you know I didn't study this. His explanation to me was that this thing can theoretically copy devil fruits. In other words, through this thing called green blood, he can clone devil fruits that are almost indistinguishable from the original fruits." Lily said.

"Is it true? Can this thing really succeed?" Kaido was stunned. Actually, he knew something, but because Quinn boasted all day long, he didn't take it to heart. But since Lily said so, Kaido knew that it was almost true, because it seemed that no one on the entire island could lie in front of Lily. The ability to listen to the voices of all things was not a boast, not to mention that Lily's ability to listen to the voices of all things was extremely outrageous.

"I don't know either, but Quinn is indeed very excited. When Jhin went to find him before, he discovered that this guy had starved himself to death in the laboratory, and it was Jhin who carried him out. The fact that Quinn can conduct research without eating or drinking shows that this thing is indeed very important. You also know how dedicated he is to scientific research." Lily shrugged and said.

"Okay, Quinn isn't going, and neither is Jin. Among the Three Calamities, only Daisy is going. In the Twelve Hours, there are only five people: Xia Ji, Taylor, A-Zu, Caroline, and Yuuki Wakaba. The others haven't chosen to go. That's fine too. It wouldn't be appropriate to have too many people go. These people are already making a big fuss." Kaido said after counting the number of people.

"Don't forget the people from the Mink Tribe and Fishman Island. Lingling has sent out invitations to many people this time. I'm afraid Ski and Newgate will go too. When was the last time the Four Emperors gathered?" Lily said with a smile.

"That was a while ago. It seemed that the old bastard Roger was not dead yet. We were not considered the Four Emperors then, at least we did not have the title of the Four Emperors. Time flies so fast." Kaido said, touching his chin.

Just as Kaido and Lily were reminiscing about the past, Yamato had already brought Hiyori into the room.

"Tell me, what did you want to ask me just now?" Yamato asked Hiyori who was sitting next to her. When she was hugging Hiyori just now, Hiyori whispered in her ear that he would talk to her about something later. Now there should be no problem in this range.

"Sister Yamato, do you know mother's swordsmanship?" Hiyori was still a little timid, but perhaps because of Yamato's aura, Hiyori was not as afraid as she was when she saw Kaido just now.

"I don't know how to use the sword like mom. I learned how to use the mace from dad. I prefer the feeling of power. Look at me, Ajian. Isn't I handsome?" Yamato shook her head and took out her mace from behind. Although she was going to a wedding, Yamato still insisted on holding the mace. She really liked it.

"Ah, it suits Sister Yamato very well." Hiyori looked at the mace in front of her and didn't know what to say. At least from her aesthetic point of view, she couldn't accept this kind of weapon. However, at a young age, Hiyori had already learned some high emotional intelligence responses without any instruction.

"I told you it's suitable for me, but what you meant just now was that you wanted to learn swordsmanship from your mother?" Yamato chuckled, not understanding the meaning behind Hiyori's words at all, but she did understand what Hiyori wanted to express at the beginning.

“Ah, no, I, I.” Hiyori was still young after all, and didn’t know what to say when asked by Yamato.

"That's great, I learned how to use the mace from dad, and mom is worried that no one will learn her sword skills. I'll go talk to mom and ask her to teach you then. No, I say it's not appropriate. Let's go, Hiyori, you come with me, you decide!" Yamato grabbed Hiyori's hand and ran out, not giving Hiyori any chance to explain.
