Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

The trial took place on the ruins of Wano Country.

The silver moon hangs high in the sky.

Amidst the ruins of the Flower Capital, the new navy's flag stands tall in the sea breeze.

Yamato knelt at the very end of the prisoner line, his hands clasped with sea stone handcuffs.

Beside her, rows of Wano Country samurai knelt.

Those who refuse to lay down their swords, hoping the new navy will restore the Kozuki family's rule, and who stubbornly resist.

Kizaru stood before the judge's bench.

His lightsaber had not completely dissipated, and golden photon particles still remained on his fingertips.

At his feet lay a dozen or so corpses lying haphazardly.

These are all samurai from Wano Country, and they are the most stubborn, vicious, and resistant Wano Country people who are trying to resist the new naval policy.

"I already said, if you try to resist..."

Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses, his tone nonchalant.

"It will be very troublesome."

The remaining warriors pressed their foreheads to the ground, trembling all over.

They finally understood that in the face of an absolute disparity in strength, the so-called dignity of a samurai and the glory of the Kozuki family were nothing more than a fleeting moment, after which life would be extinguished like a candle flame.

Those retainers of the Kozuki family, the former daimyo, silently endured the new Navy's policies that undermined the original order of Wano Country but benefited the people.

It's Yamato's turn.

She kept her back straight and did not bow her head.

The new naval officer unfolded her file and read it aloud, one entry at a time.

Kaido's daughter, who broke with Kaido at a young age and was imprisoned on Onigashima for twenty years.

They stopped Kaido's atrocities, did not attack the new Marines during the Onigashima battle, and even saved civilians from Wano Country from the former Beasts Pirates.

"No record of killing innocent people."

"No record of looting civilians."

"No record of abusing prisoners of war."

The new naval judge looked up at her.

"Labor reform, four months."

Yamato exhaled, unaware of how long she had been holding her breath.

Shen Jue planted a restriction between her eyebrows, and Shen Jue's Conqueror's Haki entered Yamato's body, like a chain, locking away her Devil Fruit ability.

But her physique, the monstrous physical strength of the demon race inherited from Kaido, remained undiminished.

The restriction left by Shen Jue only sealed the fruit like a time bomb, without weakening her body.

"Four months, to atone for one's sins through labor, upon completion of the term."

The scene of Shen Jue tearing apart Kaido in his Azure Dragon form, a scene that was both divine and demonic, still echoed in Yamato's mind.

Yamato looked up, trying to find that figure.

But Shen Jue was not there.

Only Kizaru and Chopper remained as bystanders during the trial.

A new naval warship transported her, along with some lesser-criminal pirates and samurai, to a labor camp.

It was an isolated island, with a biting sea wind. A few dozen fishing villages huddled in the folds of the rocky cliffs, as if forgotten by the world.

The villagers watched as she was led off the ship by the navy, their eyes filled with both fear and curiosity.

"These are labor camp inmates, here to help you repair your houses," the new naval officer explained.

An old woman brought over a bowl of water.

The water was murky, carrying some mud and sand.

Fresh water is scarce on the island.

"Drink up, girl."

Yamato took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

The water was bitter and cold.

"......Thanks."

She uttered two words.

From that day on, she began moving stones.

Seastone handcuffs sealed her fruit, but her physique was strong enough to overturn a small mountain.

She didn't even pant when she carried the first boulder up the slope.

The second piece was a corner of a stone that he smashed with his shoulder.

The third piece, she lifted a rock twice the height of a person with one hand and placed it steadily on the foundation.

The villagers were stunned.

"Is this girl a monster?" an old fisherman murmured.

Yamato heard this, but instead of getting angry, she smiled.

In the days that followed, Yamato officially began her labor reform career.

The villagers would occasionally hand her roasted sweet potatoes or a straw hat to shield her from the sun.

The children climbed on her back, and the older one sat on her shoulders, giggling.

"My sister is so strong!"

Yamato carried the three children on his back and continued moving stones.

The corners of her mouth turned up; in the twenty years on Ghost Island, not a single child dared to approach her.

She is a pirate, Kaido's daughter, and the source of fear in Wano Country.

Here, she's just a very strong older sister.

In just a few days, Yamato's hair was blown into a mess by the sea breeze.

She tied her white hair into a ponytail with a hemp rope, letting it hang neatly behind her head.

Every time she finished work, an old woman would help her comb her hair.

The rough wooden comb scraped through the tangled hair, slowly and gently.

"Young lady, what's your name?"

Yamato.

But those two words were never uttered.

Yamato was a little stunned. In the past, she would have said: I am Kozuki Oden.

But she hadn't opened that diary she treasured for a long time.

"My name is Yamato," she said softly.

The old woman said "Oh," and smiled, "A good name."

Yamato lowered her head, the campfire reflected in her eyes, and her gaze was ultimately different.

Another day passed, and the mutilated bodies of several escaped pirates were returned to the island.

The new naval officer in charge of guarding the labor reformers simply made a phone call using a Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi).

The fleeing pirates were killed instantly by Shen Jue remotely detonating the Conqueror's Haki he had planted, their bodies shattered to pieces.

Now, all the pirates' little schemes were thwarted.

The work continued, but Yamato learned from a new naval officer that the Big Mom Pirates had been destroyed.

This left her speechless for a long time, yet a strange sense of admiration for Shen Jue welled up within her.

Just after the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates suffered consecutive defeats.

Shen Jue's actions naturally caused a huge upheaval on the sea.

One of the pink-haired kids, nicknamed Flamingo, was utterly horrified.

Now they have no choice but to hide even deeper in the new world.

Leaving aside the reactions of other forces on the high seas to Shen Jue's consecutive defeat of two Yonko-level pirate crews.

Shen Jue is now in a dilemma.

He is currently overseeing the World Trade Center region.

The liberation of all nations and the takeover of the new navy are proceeding in an orderly manner.

Shen Jue, who was supposed to be resting, found Hina in her temporary residence. Hina had changed her clothes, put her hair up, and dressed like a girl in love.

Hina changed into a sky-blue dress and even put on light makeup.

Shen Jue, who had been fierce during the day, took Hina's hand in a serious manner.

The two spoke in hushed, intimate voices.

As they chatted, a faint blush rose on Hina's cheeks.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Jue with a slightly dazed expression.

"Brother Shen Jue, just how strong are you?" Hina asked softly, her words seemingly carrying a hidden meaning.

"You'll see once you try," Shen Jue said with a gentle smile.

Their eyes met, and they smiled at each other.

Then began the much-anticipated struggle for human reproduction and inheritance.

In a moment of confusion and infatuation, Hina lost her judgment and senses and failed to notice that it was right outside their temporary residence.

Bai Xing, who was planning to come find her older brother Shen Jue, was curled up in a ball hugging the giant fish tail, her face as red as if she had a fever, quietly eavesdropping on the movements of Shen Jue and Hina.
