One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 354 Points Surge, Light Moon Fantasy

"Belmere Yamato!"

Yamato scratched his head and laughed happily:

"This is your mother's surname, right? It took me a lot of effort to find out because I admire you so much, but Kaido won't let me go out to sea to find you, so this is the only way... In any case, I want to get closer to you!"

"If you feel offended, I can change it! After all, I can meet you in person now, hehehe, just thinking about it makes me so happy..."

"?"

Aokiji couldn't help but peek out from outside the door, his expression strange.

Looking at the white-haired girl in front of him, who was grinning like a silly husky, Xia Nuo sighed and put a hand to his forehead, feeling both amused and exasperated.

I knew that was the reason they changed their surname.

As expected of you, Yamato.

However, this situation seems to be a good thing?
At least it seems so.

Because of his sudden appearance, this guy was able to get rid of the virus, preventing him from becoming the madman who was completely possessed by Kozuki Oden.

"It wouldn't be considered offensive."

Xia Nuo shook her head slightly and said softly:

“However, my mother was an orphan before she could remember anything, and she didn’t even know her own surname. Bellemere was just her first name, and I’m not called Bellemere Shano at all.”

"So you should change it. It sounds weird... You have a deep prejudice against Kaido. If you don't want to inherit his name, you can just call yourself Yamato. Why do you have to add another surname?"

"Understood!"

Yamato replied without hesitation, "Then from now on, my name will be Yamato, and everything will be as you wish!"

“By the way, Lord Xia Nuo! I’ve been working hard to become stronger these past two years, all so that one day I can follow you! Now that you’ve come…”

She suddenly seemed to remember something, and added urgently:

"I...can I join the Fallen Ones? I really, really want to be under your command and fight alongside you! Besides, I'm very familiar with Onigashima. If you're going to fight Kaido, I can lead the way! I can lead the charge!"

"?"

Aokiji looked puzzled and peeked out a second time.

Did he hear it correctly?
Kaido is such a failure. How did he raise his daughter like this?

"no need."

Xia Nuo was speechless. "Jack should have mentioned it to you, right? It seems you weren't listening carefully before. The Beasts Pirates were defeated last night, and Wano Country has been taken over by us."

"Eh?!"

Yamato then remembered something and her expression changed. "Then, what about Kaido?"

"died."

Xia Nuo said calmly, "One-on-one, he died at my hands. I had just buried him before I came to see you."

"do you died?"

Yamato was slightly dazed for a moment, but his eyes quickly lit up. He put his hands on his hips, grinned, and laughed heartily, "As expected, I knew that guy was no match for you! Hey! Kaido! You've finally met your match!"

"..."

After a moment, Xia Nuo added softly:
"Before he died, he specifically asked me not to hurt you, saying that you still retain a kind heart and are different from that wicked guy like him, and asked me to take good care of you."

Yamato's laughter stopped abruptly.

“That guy is definitely a villain, and he’s even less of a good father.”

Xia Nuo said calmly, "But in his heart, you have always held a very important place. For the sake of this last word, go and pay your respects to him when you have time."

Cherry blossoms outside the window were blown into the room by the wind and landed on the girl's delicate shoulder.

This finally brought the dazed girl back to her senses.

"Ah."

She bit her lower lip and nodded vigorously.

Xia Nuo didn't say anything more.

That's all I have to say.

After all, the reason why Yamato became such a filial daughter, although influenced by Oden since childhood, is ultimately because Guy-sensei really did something inhuman.

The way to govern the country is abstract, and the way to educate one's daughter is even more abstract.

In this respect, even Big Mom, who falls ill every now and then, is practically a saint compared to Kaido.

"Speaking of which, you just said you wanted to follow me and join the Fallen Ones?"

Xia Nuo immediately changed the subject.

"Yes!" Yamato immediately raised his head, his eyes regaining their light. "Is that alright, Lord Shano?"

"of course can."

Xia Nuo smiled slightly, "You grew up in this country and are quite familiar with Wano Country. In the coming days, I plan to have Kuina and Jack stay in Wano Country to assist with the reconstruction and preparations for opening the sea. You should go and help out, and also apologize to Jack properly."

"Huh? Is it really okay?!"

Yamato stared wide-eyed in surprise and delight, almost jumping up.

Happiness has come so suddenly ever since I fought that clumsy elephant!

Not only can they join the fallen;
Moreover, one can serve as an officer and personally participate in the reconstruction of Wano Country, witnessing the opening of the seas to the country.
Two big wishes have been fulfilled at once!
"I'll set off right away!"

Yamato was getting impatient and stood up full of fighting spirit. "Please rest assured, I, Yamato, will definitely complete the task you assigned and will not let you down!"

"very good."

Xia Nuo nodded in satisfaction, but then seemed to suddenly remember something, "Do you still have that Oden Diary that you found back then?"

"Here I am!"

Yamato nodded quickly, took out a worn-out diary, stroked the cover, and smiled wryly, saying:
“I’ve always carried it with me, sir. Looking back now, perhaps it was out of childhood nostalgia that I idolized Oden. But, since I had you as a comparison, I don’t think that guy was anything special anymore.”

The gap is just too big.

Many of the things she used to think were remarkable and great pale in comparison to the legendary experiences of the man in front of her.

Even as she matured over the years, she began to feel...

Kozuki Oden was incredibly stupid.

How could there be such a stupid person?

Despite being the legitimate shogun of Wano Country, possessing sufficient strength and prestige to defeat foreign enemies, he actually believed the enemy's promises and handed over his shogunate position and the prestige of the Kozuki clan to others.
Despite having been an important member of both the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, he could easily find powerful external support.
For five whole years, he foolishly danced naked, letting the situation deteriorate step by step, letting Orochi and Kaido grow stronger and stronger, and finally taking complete control of the country.

Speaking of which...

The reason why Wano Country became a hell, and why its people suffered for decades.

Isn't it all thanks to this guy?!

And what about Lord Xia Nuo?

Born into humble circumstances and impoverished, he was nowhere near as successful as Oden, who started as a shogun.

But since setting sail, it took less than two years to grow from an unknown nobody in the East China Sea into a world-shaking king.

Not only did they defeat the Four Emperors and the Marine Headquarters in succession, they also expanded their influence to the entire New World, pulling the Celestial Dragons down from their lofty heights!
Changing the fate of Wano Country is as easy for him as eating and drinking!
"Looking back now, it's really ridiculous."

Yamato scratched his head and smiled somewhat sheepishly:
"So, later on, I used Oden's diary as a negative example. The reason I still carry it with me is to remind myself that I must abandon my illusions, abandon my compromises with Kaido and Orochi, and never be as foolish as him."

Xia Nuo glanced at the girl a couple more times, surprised. This girl's awareness seemed to be even deeper than he had anticipated?
"In short, of Oden's diary entries, only the point that Wano Country must open its seas is something I can agree with."

Yamato carefully handed the diary to Shano, "Besides this, there is a lot of information about the customs and products of Wano Country recorded here. It may be of some use. If you need it, sir, I will give this diary to you as a gift!"

"Thanks."

Xia Nuo took the diary, casually flipped through a few pages, and glanced at the messy handwriting.

"There is indeed a lot of valuable content, so I'll accept it."

"That's great! Hehe, I'm already able to help you right after joining! That's wonderful!"

Yamato chuckled and rubbed his hands together happily, just like a dog that had just received praise from its owner.

Seeing her like this, Xia Nuo couldn't help but smile, and casually closed the diary and put it away.

His words were, of course, lies.

Oden's Diary?

Since Yamato no longer needs such a thing.

That piece of waste paper is so hard it's not even suitable for wiping your butt.

Its main purpose is to be used as a sacrifice to earn points, which are then used by some unlucky person to farm...

cough cough.

He might not be so unlucky.

Perhaps one of my fellow travelers from another world, like the Yamato of the past, was a die-hard fan of Oden and would treasure this item as if it were a priceless gem?
"Then I'll take my leave, sir?"

"Well, let's go."

"Mr. Jack! Mr. Jack!"

Yamato shouted excitedly as he ran out the door, "I've come to apologize! Please let me work with you and Lady Kuina!"

Once she completes this task, she will officially become a member of the Fallen Ones!
If she completes the task perfectly and beautifully, Lord Xia Nuo might even think highly of her and be willing to keep her by his side!

Charge, Yamato!

Watching the girl ride away into the distance, both Aokiji and Xia Nuo had a bad feeling.

"Ala."

Aokiji spoke softly, "If I remember correctly, there's only one narrow corridor in this direction. If you sprint all the way there at this speed, it'll be hard to stop, won't it?"

"Uh, Jack doesn't seem to have gone far. He's guarding the door at the end of this corridor, waiting for us?" Shano said uncertainly.

Almost immediately.

Suddenly, Jack's grief-stricken and desperate cry rang out from afar:

"You! Don't! Come! Over here!!"

Boom!
There was a loud bang.

The massive, imposing figure soared into the sky, shooting up like a meteor, as Xia Nuo and Qing Zhi watched in astonishment…

………………

at the same time.

At the entrance of the General's Mansion, Guina stood with her hands behind her back, glancing back at the courtyard inside.

Two squadrons of the combat regiment have completely taken control of the area and are currently inventorying the supplies in the warehouse.

Hundreds of large boxes filled the courtyard, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Whether you say that Kurozumi Orochi acted out of revenge against Wano Country or that he was a born tyrant, that guy...

His rule over Wano Country was one of exploitation and oppression, like draining a pond to catch all the fish, without any consideration for future generations or the future of his family.

and so.

The wealth that this country has generated over the decades, aside from the share given to the animals, has almost all been hoarded here.

It was ten times more abundant than expected.

Ok?
Suddenly, as if noticing something, Guina looked up and glanced to her right.

The side entrance over there.

A samurai with narrow eyes and an odd appearance, accompanied by a beautifully dressed young girl, struggled through the messy courtyard and the crowd, trying to reach Kuina.

However, several members of the combat regiment noticed and immediately drew their swords to stop them.

"stop!"

Are they the two Lord Xia Nuo mentioned?
Guina narrowed her eyes.

"Let them both come over," she said.

"Yes!"

"This lord."

Denjiro glanced gratefully at Kuina and said respectfully, "I am Denjiro. This is Lady Hiyori Kozuki, the daughter of Lord Kozuki Oden."

"Oh?"

Kuina's gaze swept over the two of them indifferently, lingering for a second longer on Hiyori's face, before she raised an eyebrow slightly:

"One of the Nine Red Scabbards, I've heard of you before, so what?"

"We heard that Orochi has been killed, and the Beasts Pirates and Kaido have also been defeated, so we came here to pay our respects."

Denjiro spoke sincerely and bowed deeply:

"Thanks to the Fallen One for eliminating these two scourges from Wano Country, allowing us, and this country, to finally have the opportunity to see the light of day again!"

"Yes, that's wonderful!"

Hiyori quickly echoed, giving a graceful bow before raising her pitiful face:

"Gentlemen, what are your plans for Wano Country next? There are rumors circulating that the Fallen Ones are preparing to open Wano Country to the world. This is wonderful! My father dedicated his life to opening the country to the world. If possible, our Kozuki clan is willing to carry on his legacy and assist you all..."

"assist?"

Kuina couldn't help but chuckle, then raised her hand to interrupt her: "How many people are left in your Kozuki clan?"

Hiyori Kozuki was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Denjiro.

"This……"

Denjiro looked troubled. "Besides Hiyori, the other retainers are still alive, and Lord Momonosuke will also be returning within a few years..."

"That means there aren't many people left."

Kuina said calmly, "The old nobles who have completely fallen into obscurity are barely a small force. What use are they? Since that's the case, let's not talk about assistance. Lord Shano has his own plans for the future of Wano Country. He doesn't need outsiders like you to interfere."

"outsider?"

Hiyori Kozuki, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, couldn't help but raise her voice: "How could we be outsiders? Sir, my father is from this country..."

"sinner?"

Kuina said coldly, "A sinner who, because of his own stupidity and naivety, ruined the entire country and let down all the people?"

Hiyori Kozuki looked surprised.

Denjiro's expression changed drastically!
Clang!
His previously somewhat ingratiating, hunched posture suddenly straightened, he drew half of the blade, squinted at Guina, and spoke in a cold voice:
"Your Excellency, Lord Oden is my lord. There is no reason for me to stand by and watch him be insulted. Please retract your statement!"
