One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 845: Master Rihe!

"We're back! Hiyori!"

Yamato was the first to jump off the boat and shouted to Hiyori.

"Welcome back sister, how was the harvest?"

Hiyori could see the merchant ship towed behind the Catapult from a long distance away, and it was impossible not to see the things piled on it.

"I made a fortune and got three devil fruits. I gave one superhuman type to Baby-5, and two animal types. They are all good fruits. I'll just give it to Kuina when she likes it."

Yamato said with a thumbs up.

"That's great, but sister, I feel like if I let her choose directly, it might not work. The child doesn't want to accept it."

Hiyori said after thinking about Kuina's reaction in the past two days.

"That's easy. Why don't you just do this? How about you accept Kuina as your apprentice? Not teacher and student, but master and apprentice. In this way, no one can say anything if the master gives the apprentice a little gift."

Yamato's eyes rolled and a plan immediately came to mind.

"Is this possible? I'm not much older than her, how can I have such a master?"

Hiyori said somewhat uncertainly.

"Who said that's not possible? What's the saying? Learning has no age limit. Whoever is stronger can be the teacher."

Yamato said as he patted Hiyori's head.

"That means he was born after me, but he heard the truth before me. I follow him and learn from him. This is an ancient saying in the Land of Flowers."

Robin said as he walked past the two of them.

"Anyway, that's what I mean. Since you can defeat her father, there's no problem for you to become her master."

Yamato waved her hands. She couldn't memorize those ancient poems anyway. As long as the meaning was right, it didn't matter how she said it.

"Then why don't I give it a try."

Hiyori nodded and said hesitantly, just as Jack walked over.

"What are those two fruits?"

Jack asked curiously.

"A black panther fruit and an ancient griffin fruit. What's wrong? Do you want to give one to your student?"

Yamato asked.

"No, he doesn't need it. I'm just asking. That person doesn't need any help from the fruit. The fruit may be a burden to him. He has a high talent. For him, the most important thing is not the devil fruit, but the understanding of his own heart. I have a hunch that Zoro's strength in the future will not be weaker than mine, and may even surpass me."

Jack smiled and said that he never cared about being surpassed by others. Being surpassed meant that he had not worked hard enough and he just needed to work harder to catch up. In addition, he had introduced Zoro to his Men's Club in the past few days and successfully made him a member of the men's club.

"Really? That's really interesting. It's said that the East China Sea is the weakest sea, but so many talented people appeared here. It's really interesting. The sea will definitely be more interesting in the future."

Yamato didn't care about this. There are so many talented people in this world, but only a few can actually realize their talents. I wonder if this green algae-headed guy can realize his talents?
"Okay, stop talking so much and go find Mr. Koshiro. You must ask her father whether you can accept Kuina as your apprentice."

Hiyori urged. "Coming, coming."

"Are you saying that you want to take Kuina as your disciple?"

Koshiro was stunned. Although Kuina had called Hiyori "teacher" before, it was just a temporary title. Although Koshiro had thought about asking Kuina to formally become his disciple, this was after all considered marrying up. The other party was one of the second generation of the New World's Four Emperors, and he was just a teacher in a kendo hall in the village. Although his strength was impressive in the East China Sea, if he was in the New World, he would probably be no better than a newcomer.

"Yes, I plan to take Kuina as my apprentice, but after all, I am only a few years older than Kuina, so I need to ask for your opinion. Besides, I won't be able to stay here for long. I can only teach Kuina some basic knowledge, and the rest can only be learned by herself through my study notes. In general, this is a very irresponsible approach, so I still hope to get your permission."

Hiyori nodded and said, in fact, she could completely use the name of Kozuki to pressure others. After all, since the other party is called Shimotsuki Village, they must still recognize some names of the Country of Wa. However, what Hiyori hates most now is the surname Kozuki, so naturally she can't do that, so she chose to show her cards directly.

"Of course, of course you can. In fact, this is already beyond our reach. If you are really willing, then we would certainly be more than happy to help you. In fact, I don't know how to train Kuina at all. The swordsmanship inherited from my family is all learned by men. This is why I didn't notice Kuina's physical problems. In the past, I really believed that women could not become strong swordsmen."

Koshiro confided his true feelings to Hiyori. In fact, it was not surprising that Koshiro had such an idea. Before Lily came out of nowhere, this was almost a consensus among everyone. The road of swordsmanship was almost entirely filled with men. Strong female warriors were always rare and often could not reach the top position.

"Is that so? So you agree?"

Hiyori asked again.

"Yes, I agree. It is also an honor for Kuina to be your student. This child has always wanted to prove me wrong. Although Madam Lily and your existence have proved that what I said was wrong, as a father, how could I not want my child to succeed? So, please accept Kuina! I am grateful!"

As Koshiro said this, he was about to kneel down to Hiyori, but luckily Hiyori reacted quickly and lifted him up.

"Don't do this, don't do this, it's not necessary."

Hiyori quickly waved her hands, it felt really weird to be kowtowed to by someone so much older than her.

"So, your father has agreed. What do you think?"

After comforting Koshiro, Hiyori walked out of the room and spoke to the corner.

"Hiyori-sensei..."

Kuina came out from behind the cabinet in the corridor and said awkwardly.

"What do you think? If you don't want to, I won't force you. After all, no one would force others to become their apprentice, right?"

Hiyori asked.

"I do! Hiyori-sensei! Uh no, Hiyori-sensei!"

Kuina gritted her teeth and finally mustered up the courage to shout.

"Very good, then you agree, from now on you will be my apprentice! Yay! This time I can show off to mother when I go back! I have my own apprentice now!"

After Kuina agreed, Hiyori immediately jumped up excitedly. In fact, not only Kuina and Koshiro were very happy about this, but Hiyori herself was also very happy. After all, she was just a child, only a few years older than Kuina, and being a master was still very attractive to her.

"Um, Master Hiyori, are we going to hold a master-apprentice ceremony next? I remember my father held one, but I was still young at the time and can't remember it clearly."

Kuina asked after Hiyori calmed down.

"The apprenticeship ceremony? I'm not sure about this either. Why don't you ask your father?"

Hiyori thought about it and finally decided to ask Koshiro. She didn't really understand this kind of twists and turns. After all, she and Lily didn't have so many strange requirements when studying.
