Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

"Lady Maria summoned her."

The secretary, Baohuang, replied respectfully.

Black Maria.

Under Kaido's "excellent" economic acumen.

The Skull Castle Gallery is now available.

It is a decadent and extravagant den of iniquity.

For these pirates, nothing is more appealing than women and alcohol.

Kaido believed that the money of his subordinates was also his own, so he established these systems to allow the money within the pirate crew to flow back into the crew.

Maria, one of the Flying Six - Black Maria.

She also has another identity: the madam of Skull Castle.

She kept a large number of prostitutes under her command.

In the present day, only the Flower Capital of Wano Country appears prosperous.

The rest... was basically a complete mess.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they lived in dire straits under Kaido's rule.

The practice of selling children has existed for a long time.

It has even become the norm.

Even being full is a luxury.

Not to mention, they also have to face exploitation from Kaido's Beasts Pirates at all times.

Even their food and drink were tampered with.

Even when suffering, you must keep smiling.

Most of the girls who were sold were sent to Ghost Island and became prostitutes.

At that moment, Kaido's daughter Yamato was complaining to Maria.

Why should I wear these things?

At this moment, Yamato was wearing an extremely elaborate kimono.

She even took off the funny face mask she usually wore.

"Because men love this kind of outfit the most."

Black Maria chuckled, then put the cigarette cartridge in her hand to her mouth and took a deep drag of smoke.

"No, I don't like this feeling."

Yamato plopped down, tugging at his clothes with a hint of helplessness.

Black Maria shook her head.

"That's inappropriate, Your Highness."

"Why?" Yamato asked, puzzled.

After taking another drag of her opium, Black Maria said in a deep voice:

"Lord Kaido recently received some information... Anyway, just follow my instructions for now."

As she spoke, Black Maria came to Yamato's side, circled her once, and then chuckled softly:

"Lord Yamato's appearance is no less than that of the little purple courtesan, as long as she dresses up properly."

"So what exactly does he want me to do?!" Yamato muttered in dissatisfaction.

Black Maria hesitated for a moment and said:

"I don't know the specifics."

"But it's related to a man."

"Who?" Yamato asked.

"Naruto Uzumaki"

"What?!"

Black Maria sat down with her legs crossed.

A tremendous evil trembled violently.

"Of course, that's just my guess."

"Lord Kaido has recently received a lot of information related to him, but there is no direct evidence to prove it is true."

"In addition, it seems that the Yonko Big Mom is about to make a big move and is going to marry another powerful person."

"So, Lord Kaido also wants to follow her example... In addition, he wants to find a suitable helper who can also solve your problem."

At this point, Black Maria looked somewhat helpless, glancing at Yamato, who didn't seem like a woman at all.

"I'm a man!" Yamato retorted.

Black Maria raised an eyebrow. "Then be a man like Runti."

"It's fine if you think that way in your heart, but when you refer to yourself in front of others, you should also refer to yourself as 'this humble woman'~"

Yamato scoffed, clearly disagreeing with this statement.

"Alright, stop complaining. You can't even beat Lord Kaido."

"If Lord Kaido's plan succeeds... you might not even be able to defeat that person, so how can you talk about resisting?"

Yamato blinked. "Is that Naruto Uzumaki really that strong?"

"How could they let that bastard resort to such underhanded tactics?"

After a moment's thought, Black Maria said, "Very impressive."

"One battle could bring my bounty to 40 billion."

"You know, the bounty can't be increased that much all at once... Alright, stop complaining, Runti will be here soon."

Yamato's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Why?!"

"Why is Runti here too?!"

Black Maria looked at her startled expression and sighed, feeling exhausted.

"Alternative plans".

......

at the same time.

On the spaceship, Stussy knelt respectfully before Naruto.

"Is this alright?"

Naruto nodded. "Not bad."

He lay comfortably on the fluffy 'cushion'.

I was very satisfied with the foot massage service at Stussy.

This woman is not simple; she knows how to use her advantages.

Of course, it's also a sign of resignation.

Perona and Sugar got tired of playing around.

Let Vika and Mansherry grow bigger.

Right now, the four girls are sitting in the next room playing mahjong, a game they've only recently learned and are already addicted to.

All that's left of the sugar is the vest.

There were also seven or eight little turtles drawn on his face.

She was so angry that tears streamed down her face.

Perona had a little turtle drawn over her eye, which looked both funny and cute.

The most tragic case was Mansherry.

Like Sugar, she even lost in maid outfit.

My face and hands were covered in tiny turtles, densely packed together.

The more she cried, the more lively the little turtle seemed.

As a scout, Vika quickly became the best at this type of game after playing for a while.

The little bunny girl nestled in Naruto's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

He was still muttering "Karuchu" under his breath.

"Very good, little maid, you've lost another basket of grapes to me~!" Perona crossed her arms and looked at Sugar, who was still very cute even after she grew up.

Sugar said angrily, "I still have... and many, many more baskets!"

"Again!"

Mansherry was crying and wanted to quit.

But Sugar pulled him back.

In the end, Mansherry really ran out of bitter tea seeds.

creak-

Sugar opened the door.

Her frail, delicate figure, with her constant weeping, evoked pity in people.

"Go ahead."

"Mansherry, you will replace Stussy."

Stussy paused for a moment.

Then he gave Naruto a long look.

"Yes, Naruto-sama."

Stussy bowed respectfully.

At this moment, the simple maid outfit was extremely effective.

She walked with elegant steps, her graceful figure on full display.

Mansherry came running over.

Although Naruto had seen her bald head before, he still couldn't help but take another look at her little bald head.

Mansherry blushed and squatted down awkwardly.

She stretched out her little hand and awkwardly took over Stusi's work.

"Thank you...Naruto-sama~"

Ok?

You're thanking me?

When Mansherry left, the sugar tasted bitter.

As the queen of the entertainment district, Stussy is naturally adept at this kind of game.

Not long after.

Sugar was even robbed of its last grape by Stussy and Vika.

As for Perona... Princess Mononoke has truly become a ghost.

Her pretty face was covered in scribbles.

Clearly, Stussy's drawing skills are also excellent.

Perona was now in a huff.

Sugar lay on the ground, utterly dejected.

"Grapes...my grapes...waaaaah~"

Just as Sugar's eyes were brimming with tears, a basket of grapes was suddenly placed in front of her.

"I can't eat that much," Stussy said with a faint smile.

Sugar pounced on it.

Turn grief and anger into strength.

"Thanks."

"Great, I have another bargaining chip to turn the tide!"

The three women: "..."

Stay away from gambling.

Look how soundly the little rabbit girl is sleeping, far away from gambling.

Of course, Mansherry wasn't so comfortable.

Her whole body was red.

It felt like being roasted on a fire.

The little rabbit girl would hum a few lines of the Karuqiu Song every now and then while she was sleeping.

This made Mansherry even more restless.

She was actually in her twenties, so she naturally understood the meaning of the Song of Karuqiu.

creak-

The cabin door slowly closed.

Mansherry stood up awkwardly.

He came up behind Naruto and massaged his shoulders.

"Naruto-sama, is this alright?"

Only then did Mansherry feel a little better.

Suddenly, the little bunny girl, who was in her sleep, wanted to eat carrots.

......

afternoon.

The Land of Harmony, in the heavens.

An airship slowly descended.

"What a strange smell." Perona covered her nose, somewhat annoyed.

Actually, it was to take the opportunity to wipe off the scribbles on his face.

Stussy kindly handed her a wet wipe.

"This is Wano Country, the territory of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors."

"The strange smell in the air... is most likely coming from Kaido's weapons factory."

After landing.

Stussy said, "Lord Naruto, I can protect this ship."

She witnessed firsthand how the shipping magnate Jack was swallowed by a spiral-shaped spatial fluctuation.

The airship was ejected again by the spiral-shaped spatial fluctuations.

There was obviously another meaning behind those words.

Naruto nodded slightly, glanced at her, and chuckled, "Then I'll leave it to you."

His senses could freely explore the area, so there was no need to worry about danger.

Then, they flew off the airship.

Perona and Sugar quickly followed.

Vika didn't come along; she returned to the cabin with a mixture of worry and curiosity.

Stussy watched Naruto's retreating figure, a slight tremor running through her heart.

He shook his head, trying to dispel the images from his mind.

My steps suddenly became a little unsteady.

"Do I... need to go that far?"

......

"Waaaaah~"

"Naruto-nii-san~ Naruto-sama~ Master~"

Sugar, sobbing and crying, clung to Naruto's leg, tearfully recounting the complete annihilation of her "grape army."

Seeking comfort.

Perona, seeing her pitiful state, comforted her:

"It's okay, you'll lose even worse next time."

The sugar couldn't hold on any longer.

They lunged forward, baring their teeth and claws.

Perona lifted the little girl up with one hand.

Why did she turn back into a little girl?

There aren't enough grapes in my belly.

As the grapes shrink, they become larger.

"A negative ghost!"

Little girl, utterly defeated!

Naruto stared blankly at Wano Country before him.

Wano Country has been thrown into chaos by Kaido.

It's even worse than the previous Amegakure.

This brought back bad memories for Naruto.

Just then.

A thin, ragged child appeared before him.

Naruto fell silent at first glance.

Wearing tattered clothes, hungry, and carrying a wooden stick that wasn't even a weapon.

From the village to the flower capital.

He didn't even see anyone; he picked up a wooden stick and died.

Naruto raised his hand and waved it gently.

The child was then blown down by a gentle force.

Tree roots rise from the ground, and a soft wooden bed catches the child.

A gentle breeze blows by.

After shedding all fatigue, his flat stomach slowly began to swell.

A few candies were placed in the child's arms.

"Let's go."

Naruto walked forward.

Perona and Sugar also started playing around, quietly following Naruto.

They could tell that Naruto was angry.

Ahead lies Bianli Village.
