Chapter 334: The Enchanting Female Ninja

Chapter 334: The Enchanting Female Ninja (5k)

"Is there really anyone living here? It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time."

Several figures stood on the edge of a wasteland, with a few dilapidated wooden houses vaguely visible between the paths.

Nami looked around and saw only a few bare hills near the abandoned village.

It was a harsh environment, not to mention living together, there wasn't even anything edible around.

There is a bamboo forest in the distance.

Luffy didn't say anything. He raised his hand to lower his straw hat, his face hidden in the shadow of the brim, and walked towards the bamboo forest.

Zoro followed without hesitation.

Nami, Robin, Brulee, and Uta looked at each other and followed.

The bamboo forest is deep and quiet, with the breeze blowing through it like an elf, and the green leaves swaying with a pleasant rustling sound.

A small wooden house sits on a green hill.

A petite girl was sitting comfortably on the porch of the wooden house, weaving a bamboo hat with bamboo strips in her hands.

The girl's purple medium-length hair is tied up in a bun, and her light green kimono is decorated with light yellow floral patterns.

The sparse sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, casting patches of light on the wooden floor beside me, and the birds' chirping sounds as clear as wind chimes.

At first glance, it has a tranquil atmosphere.

However, her clothes were covered with patches, and combined with the dilapidated wooden house behind her, it was obvious that the girl's life was not as comfortable as it seemed at first glance.

Xiaoyu had a satisfied smile on her face, and her mind was still recalling the half bowl of rice she had eaten on her birthday at noon.

Hide the rest and eat it bit by bit, and it can last for several meals.

Xiaoyu thought about this, and a bit more happiness appeared on her face.

Suddenly, she heard voices talking in the distance.

"Another of Kaido's men?"

Xiaoyu stood up vigilantly, as if she remembered something. She rushed into the house and hurriedly hid a small bag of rice the size of a palm next to the stove.

After making sure Mi was safe, she quickly ran out the door, hiding her petite body behind the wall, and Xiaoyu carefully peeked out.

Several figures were walking on the forest path, two men and four women, wearing clothes that were obviously not from Wano Country.

"A samurai?"

Xiaoyu's eyes naturally locked on a man with short green hair and three knives hanging from his waist.

Some of Kaido's men also hold swords, but the feeling they give to Xiaoyu is obviously different.

Seeing the aura emanating from this man, anyone from Wano Country would instinctively feel that this is a samurai.

As if sensitive to her gaze, the green-haired warrior moved his eyes and instantly met hers.

Oops!

Xiaoyu was startled and quickly covered her mouth. She subconsciously took two steps back and hid behind the wall.

Was I discovered?! What should I do? This is such a bad idea for a ninja!

Xiaoyu felt remorseful, but after hearing no sound for a while, she couldn't help but quietly look out again.

When I looked again, the distance was empty and there was no one there.

Has he left already? Has he not been discovered?
"Scared me."

The fear on Xiaoyu's face had not yet disappeared, and she almost collapsed to the ground with relief.

Turning around, a grinning face instantly filled her eyes.

"Hehehe, hello."

"Ghost!!!"

boom!
Xiaoyu screamed so much that her eyes popped out and her body hit the wall backwards.

"Eh?"

Luffy stood upside down under the eaves like a bat, his head tilted, and his stretched neck retracted with a 'snap' sound.

After jumping off the ground, Luffy walked forward, followed by Zoro and others.

"What are you doing, Luffy? You scared the kid."

Uta put one hand on his waist and pinched Luffy's ear with the other hand in annoyance.

"Are you OK."

Brin walked over and helped Xiaoyu up, with a gentle look on her face.

Xiaoyu jumped back in shock, her hands trembling, holding a bamboo sword and facing the few people nervously.

"You you. Who are you!"

"My name is Luffy, and I'm going to be the Pirate King."

Luffy smiled and walked to Xiaoyu and squatted down. He had no self-awareness of his previous behavior and asked:
"Are you the only one here?"

"Sea Pirates?!"

The fear on Tama's face did not disappear, and she looked Luffy over.

Looking at the gentle smile on the other person's face, Ace's figure involuntarily appeared in my mind.

At this time, Xiaoyu's fear subsided a little unconsciously, but she still did not let down her guard.

"What are you doing here? There is nothing left for you to steal."

"Don't worry, I'm Ace's brother, I'm here to visit."

Stupid!
Before Luffy could finish his words, a cold knife light flashed across his face.

Luffy sensed something and looked away.

A figure wearing a red Tengu mask and a pair of white wings behind him flew towards him with a knife.

"Get away from Xiaoyu!"

Tengu Feiche roared angrily, dragged the sword with both hands and slashed diagonally from bottom to top.

Clang! !

Sparks flew, and a long sword was held upright to block the attack.

Zoro stood beside Luffy holding the Wado Ichimonji in his backhand, and with a casual effort, he raised his sword and knocked the opponent out.

"You have a nice knife."

"That knife is...!"

The two of them spoke at the same time.

Zoro looked at the knife in the other's hand with interest.

Tengu Hichet was solemn and shocked, and quickly recognized the knife in Zoro's hand.

"Wado Ichimonji?!"

"How did it end up in your hands?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zoro frowned.

Since setting out to sea, the only people who recognized the knife in his hand were the female navy swordsman beside Smoker and the man in front of him.

but.

The other party's words meant more than just recognizing the "Wado Ichimonji". It seemed that he was very surprised that he owned this sword.

Zoro turned around and looked at the other person seriously.

"Do you know its origin?"

"This is a famous sword made by the famous Shimotsuki family of Wano Country. I naturally recognize it. How could it be in your hands?"

Tengu Hichet spoke in a low voice, looking Zoro up and down.

Shuangyue family? Shigetsuki Koushiro's Shigetsuki?

A famous family from Wano Country?
Zoro's brain was almost unable to react to this short sentence, and he stared blankly at the knife in his hand.

Two figures come to mind: the always patient and gentle master, and...
Guina.

Zoro looked deeply at Wado Ichimonji, tightly gripped the hilt, and said in a deep voice:
"This knife was passed down from my master to me."

"Black Blade Autumn Water!!"

Suddenly a loud shout interrupted him, and Zoro looked up in surprise.

Tengu Feiche's pupils shrank in anger and he gritted his teeth.

When I saw the 'Autumn Water' hanging on Zoro's waist and then looked at the 'Wado Ichimonji', it seemed as if all the truth came to light!
Tengu Feiche could no longer suppress the rage in his heart, and rushed forward with his knife raised!

"Shameless knife thief!"

"what?"

Clang!
Zoro blocked with his sword, with a strange look on his face and some anger in his heart.

"What kind of knife thief? You should at least listen to what I say first."

"What else is there to explain?"

"Forget about Wado Ichimonji! Several people from the Shimotsuki family did leave Wano Country decades ago, but Shusui is also in your hands!"

"Are you saying this is a coincidence?!"

Tengu Feiche gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

Not to mention him who was once a king, anyone in Wano Country would lose their sanity upon seeing this sword.

The only thing is that the black knife Qiu Shui was stolen.!

Even the hero who single-handedly protected the country hundreds of years ago, the sword god Ryuma, had his tomb dug up and his body robbed!

This is a shame that Wano Country will never let go of!!
"I can't explain it to you in a few words, but the knife was not stolen."

Clang!
Zoro used his arm to push Tengu Hichet away with his sword, and warned with gritted teeth:
"If you keep making such a fuss, I'll have no choice but to knock you out first, even if you're the person Luffy wants to visit."

At this point, Xiaoyu remembered what Luffy said, and hurriedly said to Tengu Hichet:
"Wait a minute, Master! They seem to know Ace!"

"Ah, my name is Luffy, I'm Ace's younger brother. Hello, uncle."

Luffy stood up and said with a faint smile:
"Zoro may like swords very much, but he would never do something like what you said. There must be some misunderstanding."

"Ace's younger brother"

Hearing this name, although Tengu Feiche was still furious, he finally calmed down a little.

"Humph!"

Retracting the knife, Fei Che looked at Zoro again and snorted coldly:

"You'd better give a decent reason. Otherwise, even if I don't take action, the samurai of Wano Country will not let you go easily."

"Ah, at least I can listen to people."

Zoro calmly withdrew the knife.

If Luffy hadn't come here for the purpose of visiting, he would probably have been chopped down when the other party drew his sword for the second time.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why don't we go in and talk first."

Nami suggested at the right time.

Soon, led by Xiaoyu, a group of people walked into the wooden house.

Looking at Luffy's back, Nami's face showed relief.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but since the incident with Uta, I feel like Luffy has grown a lot. It's like he wants to become someone soon.

The floor creaks at the slightest movement, the wooden table is full of holes, the yellowed paper on the doors and windows, the cracked beams and pillars
The house was in an extremely dilapidated condition, and looked like it would collapse at any moment.

In the deserted living room, several people were sitting cross-legged around the table.

After learning about the relationship between Luffy and Ace and the purpose of Luffy's visit, Tengu Hitetsu was no longer as angry as he was at the beginning.

After listening to the process of how Zoro obtained these two swords, I felt even more deeply in awe of him.

In particular, it carries the inheritance of the Wado Ichimonji that was agreed upon with an old friend.

As a samurai and a swordsmith like Shimotsuki Kosaburo, Hitetsu couldn't help but feel fortunate that the sword had met a good owner.

Heidao Qiushui also resolved the misunderstanding through communication between the two sides.

"I was really rude just now. Please forgive me for bowing and apologizing."

Feiche leaned forward and lay on the ground, and Dogeza apologized to Zoro.

Zoro also laughed it off.

"Well, it's okay. After all, this knife is very important to you. It's normal to be excited."

National treasures were stolen and national heroes' graves were dug up and their bodies robbed.

As a result, one day, a foreigner was seen walking around openly with a national treasure. Anyone would be tempted to act impulsively.

After just a few words, the two of them reconciled.

"Big brother, big sister, the meal is ready."

Xiaoyu came out of the kitchen carrying a plate.

There were seven small, chipped bowls on the plate, each filled with only half a cup of white rice and a few small pieces of pickled vegetables.

After presenting the bowls to Luffy and his group of six, Xiaoyu said weakly with shame on her face:
"Um. I'm sorry, because this is all the rice we have at home."

"It's okay, Xiaoyu, thank you."

Luffy smiled, picked up the bowl, opened his mouth, poured it in, and put the bowl away.

It takes one second.

"So fast!!"

Xiaoyu widened her eyes and didn't even see the other person chewing.

She ate this half bowl of rice at noon, grain by grain, feeling so moved that it took her a long time to finish it.

Xiaoyu took another bowl and placed it in front of Master Feiche before sitting down next to him.

"I'm not hungry, you eat, Xiaoyu."

Fei Che pushed the bowl to Xiao Yu, who quickly pushed it back.

"That won't work. Xiaoyu has already eaten at noon. Master, you can eat first."

"Master is a warrior! How can you compete with your apprentice for a bite of food?"

"I want to be a charming female ninja, how could I be hungry?"

Watching the master and the disciple arguing over half a bowl of rice, the people on the side said nothing, but just silently pushed their own portion over.

This kind of life can no longer be described as poverty, it is literally lingering on the brink of starvation.

“In fact, we had already eaten when we got here.”

"Well, our captain is not someone who can cross nine miles alone without any help."

"Yeah, Xiaoyu and uncle, just eat it."

Several people spoke up.

But Xiaoyu and Feiche are very stubborn.

"How can that be possible!" ×2
"My benefactor's brother came to visit me, but I couldn't even entertain him. This is really undermining my samurai spirit!"

"It's against my ninja way!"

Fei Che and Xiao Yu said in a firm tone.

Seeing this, Nami held her forehead and sighed.

"In that case, I'll have Reiner bring some food over."

She flew back to the ship very quickly, but it was a bit troublesome to carry so much food.

As expected, Reiner's undead can do anything easily.

He took out the Den Den Mushi from 'Nami Valley' and quickly dialed Reiner's number.

It seemed like the people on the other side were having fun. The Den Den Mushi imitated a smile, and from time to time the sweet laughter of girls could be heard.

"What's up, Nami?"

"Food, Braikasa Village, ten minutes."

"Bringa Village? Hey Nami, ten minutes is too much for me."

"Then die outside and don't come back."

Nami had a gloomy face, her words were short and her tone was cold.

Uta and Brin on the side felt a chill on their backs and couldn't help shivering.

The smile on Den Den Mushi's face disappeared instantly, and then a panicked shout was heard.

"food!"

“Pack up all the food that’s prepared in the store!”

"Hurry up! If you're a minute slower, the store will be yours!"

Click.

Ignoring the noise from the other end, Nami hung up the Den Den Mushi. Amid the terrified green faces of the crowd, she looked up and smiled slightly:
"Wait a little longer, Xiaoyu. Food will be available soon."

".Okay.Okay."

Xiaoyu's neck was stiff and she nodded tremblingly, her eyes fixed on the big weapon that Nami put into the Den Den Mushi.

Such a strong and terrifying aura, could this be
The charming female ninja!!

While waiting for Reiner, they started chatting.

Xiaoyu kept asking about Ace's news during this period, and Luffy told her about his several contacts with Ace.

The Whitebeard Pirates have a great reputation on the sea, but because of the isolation of Wano Country, news from the outside world can hardly come in.

Xiaoyu didn’t even know about the sensational Marineford War two years ago.

Feiche and Xiaoyu also told Luffy in detail how they met Ace.

A few years ago, Bianli Village was almost deserted and everyone was hungry, but a few villagers still stayed here.

Ace and his crew were washed ashore and unconscious. The villagers who found them tied them up and ate all their food.

The rope couldn't hold them together naturally, but after Ace woke up, he just watched quietly until everyone finished eating and then he broke free from the rope himself.

Not only did he not attack them, he also risked his life to steal food from Kaido's men and give it to them.

Later, Ace stayed in the village for a few more weeks, staying with Xiaoyu.

I often help them find food and learn how to weave bamboo hats.
"By the way, didn't Ace and the others go to Wano Country again before?"

"I remember they had a new captain for the second division, and that's when Yamato joined."

Robin suddenly thought of it and couldn't help wondering.

"Didn't they come to see you then?"

"No, no"

Xiaoyu slowly lowered her head, a hint of disappointment flashing across her eyes imperceptibly.

"Maybe it's because I haven't become a charming female ninja yet."

"Before Ace left, he said that once I became a charming female ninja, he would come and take me out to sea."

Xiaoyu raised her head again and explained with a forced smile.

She heard about Ace's battle with Kaido on Onigashima, but.

The loss hidden deep in my heart still surfaced at this moment.

Even if I can't take her out to sea, I can at least come and take a look at her.

Ace, has he forgotten?
Could it be that what he said before was just a casual remark made on a whim?

Xiaoyu didn't dare to think about it, nor could she believe it, as Ace was so gentle.

"Ace told me that he was worried about implicating you. After all, this is Kaido's territory."

Luffy smiled, shrugged and said:
"That guy is always smarter than me. Considering this, I asked you to come visit you when I arrive in Wano Country."

"So this is ah."

Xiaoyu supported herself on the table with both hands and laughed, a gleam in her lavender eyes.

A cool breeze blows through the hall. Outside the door, the shadows of the deep bamboos sway gently, and the green leaves rustle, bringing a sense of peace that makes people feel suddenly enlightened.

If only a figure hadn't barged in at an inopportune moment.

boom! !

Reiner smashed through the ceiling and fell from the sky, his whole body lying on the ground in a deep pit, with a mountain of cloth bags pressing on him.

Time taken for the task: two and a half minutes.

Reward: Successfully save little Reiner's life.

"Wow, that's pretty fast. What were you busy with just now?"

Nami had a playful look on her face, grabbing her blonde hair and lifting it up by the face.

"No, I just watch them sing and dance, after all."

Reiner moved the bag away and struggled out, laughing.

"There are six people in the group, five of whom are your spies. What do you think I can do?"

The little spy Chopper is just a victim, how could Reiner not know that?

Nami held Reiner's face with her hands, her bright eyes narrowed like crescent moons.

"How can you be so smart?"

"Thanks for the compliment."

Reiner pouted and turned to look at Brin:
