One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 12 A loving father and a filial daughter!

In the banquet hall.

The girl knelt down and admitted her mistake with perfect fluency.

"Father, I was wrong!"

"I've figured it out. I was wrong all these years. I shouldn't have imagined myself as Kozuki Oden. Please rest assured, I have come to terms with myself!"

"I am your daughter, Yamato!"

"From now on, I will definitely listen to you obediently. If you say one, I will never say two; if you say go east, I will never go west!"

Yamato pressed his forehead against the ground, letting out a sigh of relief.

She practiced the kneeling action and lines at least hundreds of times in the dungeon. Although it was hard to accept at first, she thought that Kozuki Oden dared to dance naked, so what did it matter if she just apologized to her father?

Teacher Goode, I will be patient!

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Seeing the girl kneeling down and admitting her mistake, everyone was stunned and speechless. Even Jin, who was usually serious, turned the corners of his mouth under his mask into an "O".

This, this, this.
Are they dreaming?!
Young Master Yamato actually kowtowed to Boss Kaido and admitted his mistake.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Over the past fifteen years, Yamato has been beaten countless times by Kaido, and has been on the verge of death countless times.

And they haven't even bothered to fix it!
Wait, could it be a fake?

The group exchanged hushed glances.

In my memory, Orochi's side once had a user with the Imitation Fruit ability, who could imitate other people's appearance simply by touching them.

However, that person was already dead.

But this is Ghost Island; it's not that easy to sneak in.

After exchanging glances for a while, everyone tacitly glanced at Kaido out of the corner of their eyes. This was a family matter, and they wouldn't get involved.

The main seat.

Kaido held the half-drawn spiked club in his hand without moving. After a while, he silently stuffed the club back into his cloak.

His eyes were full of confusion.

Having fought in wars his entire life, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

The person below is Yamato. His physical appearance can be disguised by his abilities, but his daughter's aura is unmistakable.

But this is wrong!
His daughter couldn't possibly be that obedient!

Could he be drunk?
Kaido thought it over and over, then pulled out his spiked club from behind his back again and swung it at his own forehead.

Bright red blood flowed down between his eyebrows.

Okay, he's not drunk!
"Uro ro ro!!!"

Kaido laughed heartily.

good good!
My daughter finally complied!
"Yamato, rise!"

"Yes, Father."

Yamato stood up, her forehead stained with blood. To avoid being discovered, she kowtowed with great effort.

She knocked a big hole in the ground!

Kaido waved his hand happily.

"I'm glad you admitted your mistake, so I won't pursue the matter from the past!"

He didn't care why Yamato had changed her attitude, nor was he interested in knowing. Yamato was an important fighting force, and it was enough that she could be used by him.

Like those enemies who wanted his head but ultimately submitted to him, he would accept anyone who could provide combat power.

The more troops, the better!

As for whether Yamato will betray us.

That kind of thing doesn't matter at all. Countless people want to betray him, but as long as he's still around, no one dares to stand up for him.

Kaido tossed the sake jug to Yamato.

"Yamato, let's drink!"

"Yes!"

Yamato picked up the sake bottle and gulped down a large mouthful.

happy!

She thought her father would interrogate her, but he simply brushed it off, and the excuse Goode had prepared for her was completely useless.

Even a scoundrel father has his merits.

Yamato put down the sake jug, raised his hands, and asked hopefully, "Father, can my handcuffs be removed?"

"Well, of course, what would it look like if my daughter wore handcuffs all the time?"

Kaido laughed and turned to look at King.

On Oni Island, the keys to the Seastone handcuffs are kept by Jin.

He wasn't worried about Yamato escaping Wano Country.

All the ports in Wano Country are under the control of the Beasts, and Yamato doesn't know how to sail, so it's impossible for her to leave on her own.

Even if Yamato escapes, he will bring him back.

"Jin, help Yamato untie this."

"Understood, Brother Kaido."

Jin stepped forward and unlocked Yamato's handcuffs, his gaze unusually cold.

He doesn't believe in Yamato.

Based on his years of experience in interrogation, he judged that Yamato had absolutely not yielded, and his admission of wrongdoing was likely for ulterior motives.

Kaido might not care, but this man had to take it seriously. Yamato inherited Kaido's bloodline and possessed immense strength. If she were to betray the Beasts at a crucial moment, the consequences would be unimaginable. "Whoosh!"

The handcuffs fell to the ground.

Wow, I feel so light!

Yamato felt the changes in his body and jumped around in delight.

For fifteen years, ever since she was eight years old and put on sea stone handcuffs, her power has been restricted.

Now that the burden has been lifted, my body feels as comfortable as if I've been soaking in a hot spring, and the power of the Devil Fruit within me is also reviving.

The girl didn't notice that a pair of cold eyes were scrutinizing her.

烬！
"Brother Kaido."

King turned to Kaido and said in a deep voice, "Now that His Highness Yamato has reconciled with you, I think it's time to find something for His Highness Yamato to do."

"You're right."

Kaido nodded.

Animals do not support idlers.

Yamato possesses formidable combat power and should not be left idle or wasted, but how to utilize Yamato is a troublesome issue.

As the son of a demon, he naturally cannot do odd jobs like ordinary cadres, but currently, important positions are all guarded by cadres.

Kaido looked at King.

"Jin, do you have any opinions?"

"Brother Kaido."

Jin took out a piece of intelligence from his wings.

"In the past month, the remnants of the Kozuki faction have become active again. I think we can send Prince Yamato to subdue them!"

"."

Kaido gave King a deep look.

He knew exactly what Jin was thinking.

If Yamato were still Oden, she would never kill the Kozuki samurai, but if Yamato really quelled the rebellion, then we can rest assured.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Kaido looked at Yamato, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"Yamato, are you capable of shouldering this heavy responsibility?"

"no problem!"

To everyone's surprise, Yamato agreed without hesitation.

"Uro-ro-ro!"

Kaido laughed and raised his glass.

"She truly is my daughter!"

"drink wine!"

"We're so happy today, let's drink until we're drunk!"

Two hours later, in the dungeon.

The secluded and deserted environment is perfect for a secret rendezvous.

“Ugh~~”

Yamato leaned against the wall, exhaling rainbows.

Only after vomiting up all the alcohol did the girl look at Goode with a pale face and anxious eyes.

"Good, my father wants me to kill the samurai!"

"Don't worry."

Goode calmly drank his tea.

"Let me first describe what happened today."

"Ah good."

Yamato quickly recounted his experience of going to the banquet hall.

She was really worried.

If Goode hadn't instructed her to agree to whatever her father asked first, and then work with him to find a solution, she might have turned into Kozuki Oden on the spot.

She would rather die than kill a samurai!

"Good, those Kozuki samurai are all Oden's followers. I absolutely cannot kill them. You must think of something!"

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution."

Goode chuckled.

Faced with Yamato's sudden surrender, Kaido could not completely trust her. Even if Kaido didn't care, his other officers would have objections.

The most direct way to distinguish truth from falsehood is to send Yamato to kill people, do evil deeds, and collude with all beasts.

It was entirely expected.

Yamato's eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed Goode's sleeve.

"What countermeasure?"

"It's very simple."

Goode's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"I'll do the killing!"
