When the carriage landed smoothly on the ground, Monet and Sugar walked out of the carriage gracefully.
Sandu's unique short blue-green hair forms a beautiful landscape with her sister's long wavy light green hair.
At this moment, she was wearing a slightly loose dress that could not hide her graceful figure. She followed Monet closely, as if she had not yet fully adapted to her grown body.
Led by Fu Lu Shou, the group slowly walked into the solemn and magnificent general's mansion.
Yamato was sitting in the middle of the hall, admiring the breathtaking performance of the oiran Kozuki.
Her dancing was as smooth and natural as flowing water. Every turn and every wave of her hand was like a paintbrush drawing the most beautiful lines in the air, showing her unforgettable graceful figure and unique charm, making every audience present involuntarily intoxicated by it.
When Al and the others appeared at the entrance of the hall, Yamato stood up to greet them with a smile.
"Shichibukai Eru, I already know your information." There was a hint of curiosity in her words, "However, I am still very curious, why do you have the same devil fruit form as my father?"
Hearing this, Al's eyes inadvertently swept over X. Drake who was standing next to him. He already knew in his heart that most of his information was leaked by the captain of the Blade Squad.
"I had no idea of the power of that devil fruit until I ate it," Al replied, "but I feel honored to have the same form as your father, the Four Emperors Kaido."
Monet and Sugar then realized that the beautiful woman in front of them was actually the daughter of the Four Emperors Kaido.
Yamato heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes: "Yes, fate is always full of surprises, just like I was too hungry and ate a devil fruit by mistake, and I lost the ability to swim since then."
"It's not a big deal if you can't swim." El smiled and comforted her. "I've seen fishmen who ate devil fruits. Although they can't swim, they still live freely in the sea. And your fruit ability is very powerful. You can freeze the sea surface and walk freely on the sea like the former admiral Qingzhi."
Upon hearing this, Yamato's eyes flashed with curiosity and excitement. He pulled Al to sit in the main seat and couldn't wait to ask him about the interesting things he encountered during his adventure.
At the same time, Monet and Sugar, under the guidance of their entourage, sat in the front left side of the main seat and began to enjoy the delicious food carefully prepared at the banquet.
The maids at the side carefully poured wine and served them food, but such hospitality made the two sisters feel a little uncomfortable and they waved their hands to refuse them.
Al sat in the main seat and told Yamato about the shocking battle between Ace and Whitebeard at the Marine Headquarters.
Although Yamato knew about the major event, he did not know the details of the war.
With Eir's vivid narration, Yamato seemed to have witnessed with his own eyes how his good friend Ace successfully escaped from this life-and-death battle.
Because of the presence of X. Drake, Al cleverly avoided the sensitive topic that he saved Ace at the critical moment.
When Al talked about the fishman Vander Decken IX who couldn't swim that he met on the bottom of the sea, Yamato's regret about not being able to swim seemed to be alleviated a little.
But she still complained: "But they, the fishmen, can control the fish to help them move, and we can't do anything about it."
After complaining a few words, she introduced her subordinates to El. These were assistants sent by Jin to assist her in governing the country of Wano.
Al picked up the wine glass and drank with everyone, then he continued to talk with Yamato about Wano Country.
However, Yamato turned the topic to her favorite Kozuki Oden, and talked about how she watched Oden's execution and his navigation diary when she was young, and since then she has been determined to inherit Kozuki Oden's legacy and become a person like him.
Just as Yamato was talking big, Kozuki, who was in charge of playing the music, played a few wrong notes because of the shock in her heart, breaking the original harmonious melody.
Even Al and Yamato, who don't understand music, noticed the mistake.
Noticing this, Yamato spoke up to ease the atmosphere, "It seems that the Oiran Kozuki is not in good condition today. Why don't we change the program?"
After saying that, Yamato waved her hand gracefully. Kyoshiro immediately understood what she meant. He quickly arranged for other dancers to go on stage to continue performing for the guests, and then prepared to take Kozuki out of the hall.
However, Al's eyes were always fixed on Xiao Zi's figure, and he had a new plan in mind.
He wanted to bring Murasaki to Alabasta and use the radio to spread her music and voice.
In the future, when televisions come on the market, Kozue Kozue's performance will surely become the highest-rated ace program, injecting new vitality into Alabasta's cultural industry.
However, the key to this plan lies in how to bypass Kyoshiro. As the second most powerful person among the Nine Red Scabbards after Kin'emon, he will not easily let anyone take away the daughter of Kozuki Oden, to whom he is loyal.
In fact, ever since X. Drake revealed Al's identity and the rumors about him, Kyoshiro has been highly vigilant about Kozuki's performance today.
Many years ago, after Kozuki Hiyori left Kawamatsu, she met Denjiro, who used the alias Kyoshiro.
After the two recognized each other, Kyoshiro followed Hiyori's wishes and did his best to train Hiyori into an oiran.
However, as the lord's daughter, Kyoshiro would never let her become a plaything in the corridor.
So over the years, he has always been by Hiyori's side protecting her.
Any action that might be detrimental to her was stopped by Kyoshiro.
"Miss Xiao Zi, don't be in a hurry to leave. Why don't you stay and have something to eat? I just happen to have something to tell you."
Upon hearing that El wanted to keep Kozuki, Kyoshiro immediately let Kozuki leave first, and then he stayed to face El who suddenly made a request.
He narrowed his eyes, put on a polite smile and said, "Mr. Al, Xiao Zi is feeling a little unwell. If you need a maid, I can arrange one for you."
"I am very interested in Miss Xiao Zi," Al said bluntly, "It's a pity for a talent like her to stay here as an oiran. Why not go out to sea with me?"
"I have spent many years cultivating Murasaki. I will not hand her over to anyone easily, Mr. El." Kyoshiro answered without any hesitation. He continued, "Besides, in Wano Country, no one is willing to leave their hometown and go to the sea to take risks."
Faced with Kyoshiro's stubborn attitude, Al did not give up, but said to Yamato: "Yamato, I will ask Kozuki's wishes. If she agrees to go with me, then there will be no problem."
Chapter 206 Kozuki Sukiyaki
Seeing Al chasing in the direction where Kozuki left, Kyoshiro followed closely behind, and the atmosphere became tense.
When El suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Zi, her maid Toko instinctively stood in front of her to protect Xiao Zi.
Kyoshiro arrived shortly afterwards, his hand already gripping the hilt of the sword, and said in a cold tone: "Mr. Al, I repeat again, Xiao Zi will not leave here."
El did not respond to Kyoshiro, but turned directly to Kozuki and said softly: "Your brother will appear in Wano Country again in more than a year. By then, this place will become a battlefield. Are you interested in exploring the outside world with me during this time?"
"My brother?" A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Zi's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. Years of training had taught her to hide her emotions.
El looked around and whispered, "Yes, the 20-year deadline is about to expire. By then, your brothers Kozuki Momonosuke and Kin'emon will appear at the ruins of Oden Castle. By the way, I want to tell you that Kurozumi Orochi was killed by me."
Upon hearing the news about Kozuki Momonosuke and Kin'emon, Kyoshiro instinctively drew his sword.
But after Al mentioned that he was the one who killed Kurozumi Orochi, he hesitated.
Xiao Zi gently covered her face with her sleeves, trying to hide the expression of shock that she could not suppress.
Her voice came from behind her sleeves, with a tremor: "Mr. Al, is everything you said true? My brother and the others are coming back?"
Al nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, this was your mother, Lady Kozuki's devil fruit ability that teleported them to the future 20 years later. As for Kurozumi Orochi, he died in my hands, so Yamato became the general."
After hearing what Al said, Xiao Zi could no longer suppress her inner emotions and burst into tears of joy.
She knelt down to thank El, her tears soaking the ground. "Lord El, thank you for avenging my father and telling me the news about my brother. This is the best news I have heard in the past twenty years."
"Then are you willing to come with me?" Al said gently, "Your strength will only make you a burden to them if you stay here. I can promise you that I will bring you back after your brother retakes Wano Country."
Seeing this, Kyoshiro hurriedly warned: "Your Highness, please think carefully. We don't know whether what he said is true or not. Moreover, you also heard in the hall just now that his devil fruit form is the same as Kaido's."
El said, "Although Yamato is Kaido's daughter, she has always admired your father very much. She is not your enemy. Although my ability is the same as Kaido's, I am not his man. You will know this as long as you have read the news about me outside."
However, when Xiao Zi heard Kyoshiro's dissuasion, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face.
Al saw her wavering and continued to reveal information: "How about this, Hiyori, you can go see your grandfather first and let him make the decision for you. After all, he knows the situation in Wano Country best."
At this time, Xiao Zi, who was still kneeling on the ground, raised her head in surprise, her eyes full of doubts: "Mr. Al, is my grandfather still alive?"
Kyoshiro immediately retorted, "Hiyori-sama, don't trust him. General Sukiyaki was killed by Kurozumi Orochi many years ago. If he were still alive, with his prestige, how could Kurozumi Orochi rule this country for so many years?"
"Denjiro," Al turned to him and said, "Please don't interfere with Hiyori's own judgment. There are still many things you don't know, so please don't deny me outright because of your ignorance. For example, this Miss Toko, her adoptive father is the daimyo Shimotsuki Yasuie who funded you back then. Do you know about this?"
Before Kyoshiro could react, Al had already turned to Hiyori and continued, "Your grandfather lost his position as general because he was deceived by Orochi. He always felt guilty and lived in seclusion in the village of Haikasa in Kuri, using the alias Tenguyama Hichetsu."
Upon hearing this, Hiyori Kozuki bowed deeply again, her gratitude overflowing with words: "Mr. El, I will go to Kuri's Weikasa Village now. If my grandfather is still alive, I am willing to go to sea with you and come back after my brother recovers Wano Country."
Faced with this series of unbelievable news, Kuang Silang was speechless and had to choose to remain silent.
Al smiled and said, "Then you guys go first. I'll come find you when I'm done here."
After saying goodbye to Al, Kyoshiro drove the carriage himself and it sped away like the wind.
They planned to go to Caishen Town first to find their former benefactor Shimotsuki Yasuie, and then set out together to visit Hiyori's grandfather, General Kotsuki Sukiyaki.
When Al returned to the temple, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.
There was no sign of Xiao Zi beside him, which made everyone present think that his idea of taking Xiao Zi away was rejected.
Everyone is glad that they can continue to see the expression of the most beautiful woman in Wano Country.
But Al's expression did not show any disappointment, instead he had a relaxed smile.
Yamato continued to talk to him about the story of Kozuki Oden with great interest.
"Yamato, I think your relationship with your father is very similar to Oden's back then." Al said with a smile.
When Yamato heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Even you have heard about Kozuki Oden?"
"I have heard a little bit about it." El continued, "But my opinion is a little different from yours. As a son and the heir of Wano Country, he is very incompetent in this regard. Only when he was the Daimyo of Kuri did he truly fulfill what he should do as a lord."
Yamato was unhappy with El's belittling of Kozuki Oden, but she thought about it and asked excitedly: "Then if I can do better as the general of Wano Country than he did as the daimyo of Kuri, does that mean I have surpassed him?"
Al looked at Yamato's expectant eyes and nodded seriously, "As long as you can feed the people here and protect them to live in peace, then you are much better than Kozuki Oden."
After hearing what Al said, Yamato immediately found the direction for his future efforts.
Although she had always aspired to be like Kozuki Oden, no one had ever given her a positive answer, and she didn't know what to do.
Therefore, she always set the founding of a country, which was something Oden failed to do, as her goal. As long as she could accomplish what he failed to do, it would mean that she had surpassed him.
However, Yamato's excitement only lasted for a while, and he became dejected again.
"I have read the diary of Kozuki Oden. He once followed Pirate King Roger to the Final Island. If I just let the people live a prosperous life, it is not enough for me to become a person like him."
At this time, Al raised his glass and promised: "If you can make the people of Wano Country live a peaceful life, I will send you to the final island. However, there will be only women on my ship besides me. If you still regard yourself as a man at that time, I will not take you."
Yamato raised his glass and said, "In that case, it's a deal! I will fulfill our agreement, but if you don't take me to the final island, I will beat you up no matter where you hide."
The two smiled at each other, raised their glasses together and drank the wine of oath.
In the following time, El talked to Yamato about many topics about sea adventures, and Yamato also shared some of her experiences from childhood to adulthood.
After the banquet, Al left the Shogun's Mansion with Monet and Sugar, with Yamato's farewell.
However, to his surprise, just as he walked out of the gate of the general's mansion, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
Wanda, who was supposed to leave Wano Country with Pedro and return to Zou, suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Miss Wanda, what's wrong with you?" Al asked in surprise.
Wanda explained in a low voice: "Captain El, I just contacted Carrot through Den Den Mushi. I want to learn the secret technique she mentioned from her in person, and then return to Zou Island to teach everyone to ensure that there will be no mistakes. I hope to get your permission."
"Okay, no problem." After hearing Wanda's words, Al readily agreed to her request.
Considering the simple and straightforward character of the Fur Tribe, showing goodwill to them is also a good choice.
Moreover, now that his sphere of influence has expanded a lot, it will undoubtedly be a huge help if he can gain the support of the Mink Tribe.
After getting Al's consent, Wanda politely greeted Monet and Sugar. At Monet's invitation, the three of them entered the carriage together.
As the outline of the Flower City gradually faded away, El transformed into a blue dragon and flew towards the direction of the dumpling fruit according to the missing person mission edited by the system.
That fruit is the ability possessed by Xiaoyu, who was adopted by Hichetsu of Tengu Mountain, and now it has become his location coordinates.
When Al flew to Jiuli Island, he saw a carriage running at high speed on the ground.
That was the carriage driven by Kyoshiro, carrying Kozuki and his group, and Shimotsuki Yasuie was also sitting in the carriage.
Upon learning that Kozuki Sukiyaki was still alive, the former daimyo was filled with uncontrollable joy and was eager to see the shogun again.
Al's arrival aroused Kyoshiro's vigilance. He stared at the huge figure in the sky and tightened the reins in his hands again and again.
Of course, Al had no intention of attacking. He let out a low dragon roar: "You are too slow. Let me take you with me."
Then, he released many flame clouds, gently lifted the carriage, placed it next to Monet and the others' carriage, and continued to fly towards Xiaoyu's direction.
Sugar curiously leaned her head out of the carriage window and gently knocked on the opposite window.
After a while, Hu Zi's face appeared at the window, and asked with a hint of doubt: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Satang recognized Huzi at a glance, and suddenly realized that the person sitting in the carriage next to her was the beautiful courtesan.
She asked curiously, "Didn't you leave? How come you were caught again? It would be dangerous if your oiran was targeted by him."
After saying that, Sugar pointed at the huge figure above.
After hearing what Sand Sugar said, Al smiled and explained, "Sand Sugar, I heard everything you said. Xiao Zi and I agreed to go find someone together. I'm not as bad as you think."
"You are a bad person. No explanation is of any use." Sandang curled her lips, closed the curtains, and hid in the car again.
At this time, she still felt resentful about the fact that Al saw her naked when she was growing up.
Although she had heard what Shinobu said in the carriage, she still thought it was all Al's fault. Since he knew that Shinobu could help him grow up, he must have known that this would happen.
The big pervert Al not only shows a strong interest in the oiran Kozuki, but also has special purposes for Yamato, which makes her more convinced of the reports in the newspaper about Al's lust.
