Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 299 Kozuki and Yamato

Wano Country, the City of Flowers, Castle Keep.

"Lord Feiyu, a courtesan named Xiao Zi wishes to see you."

"Oh, then bring her over!"

As Hiyori Kozuki entered the familiar castle tower, she happened to see Yamato also walking in.

Slightly frowning, Hiyori Kozuki's tall stature and white gradient hair didn't seem strange to the well-traveled woman. However, the two pairs of demon horns on her head and the masked Junti leading the way gave the former princess of Wano Country some reason to speculate.

(A remnant of the Beasts Pirates? I heard those pirates did leave behind some women...)

However, Hiyori quickly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and walked slowly toward the central palace.

As a renowned courtesan in the Flower Capital, coming here is not difficult for her. After all, Uchiha Touyu, who came from the outer sea, is also a famous playboy. As long as she shows her "admiration", someone will naturally bring her here.

Moreover, during Kurozumi Orochi's time, Hiyori Kozuki had been here before, so she was quite familiar with this castle tower.

To Hiyori's surprise, the tall, beautiful white-haired woman in front of her was actually taking the same route as her. Although her behavior seemed somewhat like that of a black and white dog that liked to wreak havoc, looking around, she was clearly also heading towards the central palace.

"Lord Touyu, the courtesan Komurasaki, and Yamato have all arrived."

Runti pushed open the door and said something in a carefree manner. At the same time, both Hiyori, who had been keeping her head down, and Yamato, who was very carefree, looked over with some curiosity.

Hiyori was purely curious, but even Yamato, with his husky-like mind, now felt something was off. His father wasn't the type to joke around, and from what he'd just done so far, it didn't seem like his father was summoning him.

Tatami mats were originally popular in Wano Country, but when the two looked up, they found that Uchiha Touya was lying diagonally on the main seat at the head of the table.

Beside Uchiha Touyu, a stunningly beautiful woman named Hancock, with her Hime-style haircut and a cold, alluring aura, was kneeling on the tatami mat, serving him with a look of utter infatuation.

Uchiha Touyu rested his head on her fleshy thighs, enjoying the touch of her fair skin. Hancock picked up a grape and fed it to Uchiha Touyu without regard for anyone else.

At Uchiha Touyu's feet, the newly appointed Marine Admiral Momousagi was happily embracing his bare feet, her large soles penetrating his chest, causing Momousagi to grit her teeth slightly and tremble occasionally, yet she continued to slowly massage his calves.

Upon entering the room, Hiyori was greeted by such an erotic scene, and two blushes immediately rose on her face. Yamato, on the other hand, looked up with curiosity, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.

There's nothing we can do. This girl can even go to the men's bathhouse without any hesitation, so expecting her to have a strong sense of shame is wishful thinking.

"Hey, what's going on? Where's that damn old man? Is he really done for?"

Uchiha Touyu spat out the grapes, his expression slightly strange.

"Huh!? Judging from your expression, you don't know anything. Didn't Runti tell you anything?"

"Lord Touyu, I already told that idiot Yamato about it, but she just wouldn't believe me. There's nothing I can do about it!"

Runti muttered something to herself, then walked onto the tatami mat, climbed behind Uchiha Touyu, unbuttoned his clothes, and began massaging him with two balls.

Yamato's mouth dropped open, and she stared in disbelief, seemingly stunned by the scene before her—of course, she wasn't afraid, she just couldn't understand how Runti, that sharp-tongued girl, could have become like this.

"What on earth have you done?!"

After a long while, Yamato finally came to her senses and angrily asked, "I don't feel any affection for the Beasts Pirates and Kaido, even though I have a very bad impression of them."

Moreover, the behavior of Runti and Black Maria was too abrupt. Even though Yamato is carefree and seems to lack common sense, she still knows how strange their behavior is. They may have been ambushed by Devil Fruit abilities.

To put it bluntly, the destruction of the Beasts Pirates and the death of Kaido weren't major sources of hatred for Yamato, but using such methods to deal with women definitely doesn't make him a good person!

"Tsk, so you're Kaido's daughter? You don't look like her at all!"

Uchiha Touyu spoke calmly and slowly sat up from Hancock's lap pillow. His expression didn't change much, but Hancock, Momousagi, and Ulti looked at Yamato with anger.

"How dare you speak to Lady Feiyu like that! This is a capital offense; I will never forgive you!"

"Sweet and refreshing!"

In an instant, pink light shone out, and a look of infatuation flashed in Yamato's eyes, but he reacted in an instant, circulating his Haki to neutralize Hancock's attack.

Although Yamato lacks intelligence, it is precisely because of this that, just as Luffy's rubber head is immune to the power of the Love Love Fruit, she also has considerable resistance to the Empress's Love Love Fruit. Coupled with her own impressive Haki, she easily blocked Hancock's ultimate move.

However, this move seemed to have flipped a switch. Yamato roared, his body lengthened, white mane grew, and a faint chill emanated from him, transforming him into a giant canine-like half-orc.

Without a word, Yamato grabbed the spiked club from his back and hurled it at Uchiha Touma and Hancock. The club was crackling with dark, domineering energy, clearly no joke.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"

"Tsk, they're really in a hurry... I hope they don't break the room."

Uchiha Touyu rolled his eyes, muttered something, and stretched out his hand. Dark red Haki condensed into an impenetrable wall. With a loud boom, a fierce shockwave spread out. After Yamato slammed down with his staff, he was forced back several steps, his arm trembling, and blood flowing from his tiger's mouth.

"How is that possible!?"

The white wolf girl's eyes showed deep shock. Yamato was well aware of her own strength. Even when facing Kaido, Yamato, wearing sea stone handcuffs, could exchange dozens of blows with him. After removing the sea stone handcuffs, she could fight him for 300 rounds.

As for the idea of ​​using Armament Haki released directly from his palm to form a wall and block his full-force attack, even for Kaido, it's nothing short of a fantasy!

Devil Fruit power... or true Haki cultivation?! Although judging from the opponent's performance, it should be pure Haki, is this level of Haki really something that humans can cultivate?

Just as Yamato was still in shock and uncertainty, Uchiha Tou clenched his fist slightly, and the domineering aura emanating from him transformed into a giant arm, directly grabbing Yamato in mid-air.

"Whoa! Cough cough cough!!"

The immense pressure caused Yamato to immediately cough up blood, a look of pain appearing on his face.

"You bastard! Let me go!"

"Let you go? Fine, then so be it!"

Uchiha Touyu chuckled and transformed his grip into a slap, slamming Yamato directly into the ground. It should have created a huge, human-shaped crater, but the domineering aura emanating from his feet made the ground harder than diamond.

A cracking sound rang out, and Yamato, who had fallen to the ground, felt as if most of his bones were broken. He coughed up blood again, and even his Armament Haki was almost impossible to maintain.

The hardened ground by Uchiha Hiyori, while leaving the wooden floor unaffected, significantly increased the damage from falling on it. With Yamato's physical abilities, he would normally be able to smash the floor without injury even without Armament Haki, but against the reinforced floor, he would only shatter his bones.

Kaido fell from the sky island tens of thousands of meters high, creating a huge crater in the ground, almost like a small earthquake, yet he remained unharmed. However, if the ground hadn't even left a dent or crack when he landed, he would probably have been turned into an idiot.

"Ouch, that hurts... The floor is so hard!"

Dahe, who was dizzy and disoriented from the fall, calmed down after a while and finally came to his senses. He slightly raised his head, looked at the people above him, especially Runti, who had a mocking expression on her face, and couldn't help but curse angrily:

"Runti, get a grip! Aren't you my dad's loyal henchman? And Page Van, where's your brother now? Don't you care at all?"

Runti placed two dumplings on Uchiha Touyu's back, rested her chin on his shoulder, and affectionately rubbed her cheek against his hair. Upon hearing Yamato's words, she not only didn't react, but frowned and said with disdain:

"Don't even mention that idiot gorilla captain and that moron Page One! It's only because they were already killed by Lord Fei Yu that I would have taken care of them first!"

"My world only needs Touma-sama; little brother, captain—those are completely unnecessary!"

Seeing Runti's performance, Yamato gasped:

"What's wrong with you? It must be a Devil Fruit ability! That bastard Uchiha Tou has used his Devil Fruit ability to control you."

If Runti betrayed her father, Yamato would find it unbelievable, but in her opinion, there was still a one in ten thousand chance. However, for Runti to completely hate her younger brother Page Van, and even wish to kill him, was something that Yamato considered absolutely impossible.

In the entire Beasts Pirates, who doesn't know the relationship between Ulti and Page One? Page One's feelings towards his older sister are another matter, but Ulti is a complete brother-doting fanatic, the kind who can't be swayed by anyone.

Hoping that Runte would show murderous intent towards Page One is like hoping that your father would suddenly change his nature and become a great hero (or a complete idiot) like Kozuki Oden!

"Hmph, Yamato, you have no idea how great Lord Touhou is, that's why you say such things. But don't worry, you'll soon understand, just like me, that only Lord Touhou is our final destination!"

"Give up! You pervert! I would never become like Runti! You bastard, you stupid pretty boy!"

Yamato didn't speak to Runti. Instead, he looked at Uchiha Tou and started cursing. However, Uchiha Tou just shrugged at Yamato's cursing and turned to look at Kozuki Hiyori, who should have been standing next to Yamato.

"Miss courtesan, what are you doing? Are you trying to leave?"

While subtly observing Yamato distracting them, Hiyori quietly moved herself step by step to the front door. Hiyori froze, but the next second, a bright smile spread across her face:

"Um, the newly appointed general..."

"Just call me Uchiha Touyu! I don't want to be some kind of shogun of Wano Country. Hmm, actually, I could learn from those Celestial Dragons and call myself Touyu Saint!"

Uchiha Touyu stroked his chin and spoke, but the teasing in his voice made Kozuki Hiyori lower her head. She could also sense Uchiha Touyu's disdain for the title "Touyu Saint," and in the end, she imitated the way the other women addressed Uchiha Touyu:

"Um... Lady Touyu, I feel... this is not something a courtesan like me should be discussing!"

As she spoke, Hiyori Kozuki also showed a pitiful expression. As a courtesan who could skillfully navigate the social landscape of Wano Country, swindling countless unscrupulous merchants into bankruptcy without ever being taken advantage of herself, Hiyori Kozuki was undoubtedly the best actress in Wano Country, at least in terms of acting skills.

"It's alright, so what if you tell everyone? Just like twenty years ago in Wano Country, everyone knew that Kaido and Orochi were no good, but in the end, apart from that brainless idiot Kozuki Oden and his few subordinates, no one from Wano Country resisted, right?"

"Aren't you right, Miss Purple?"

"No...that's right, sir, you're right. I was just too nervous."

Hiyori Kozuki put on a tense and uneasy expression, but her hands, hidden under the sleeves of her kimono, were clenched tightly, and her knuckles were slightly white.

"Alright, don't worry, I won't do anything to you. After all... you're just an ordinary courtesan. You wouldn't rebel against me like that idiot Kozuki Oden, would you?"

"Besides, you don't have the strength of Kozuki Oden. If you dare to defy me..."

As Uchiha Touyu twitched his toes, Momousagi, who had been massaging him, let out a soft moan, lowered her head, and began to slowly suck on his toes.

"You wouldn't want to... end up like this admiral, would you!"
