Kaido immediately burst into laughter: "Hehehehe. Today is a good day. Send word that I'm going to throw a grand banquet!"

"Oh!" everyone responded.

"Yamato, get up. I will forgive and forget your past mistakes." Kaido waved his hand.

"Yes, Father."

Yamato obediently got up, ignoring Kane's dissuasive gaze, and sat down next to him on his own, like a husky that had completed its mission, head held high and chest puffed out: "Kane, I did a good job, didn't I?"

I shouldn't have expected Yamato to keep the secret.

Kane sighed helplessly and praised, "That's good."

Well, my relationship with Yamato will be exposed sooner or later, so it doesn't matter when.

After all, he didn't have any ulterior motives towards Yamato, nor was he afraid of Kaido causing trouble. On the contrary, he actually did Kaido a big favor.

"Kane, was Yamato's transformation influenced by you?" Jhin asked first.

Kane calmly nodded and selectively described his conversation with Yamato to Kaido.

"Yamato's enlightenment today is entirely thanks to Mr. Kaido's unwavering support over the years," Kane concluded.

Kaido wholeheartedly agreed. If it weren't for his years of perseverance, Yamato would have died long ago, and there wouldn't be a Yamato today.

Whether Kane's statement is true or not is irrelevant.

Anyway, the result is that Yamato apologizes to him, and the Beast Pirates have gained another powerful fighter.

Just like his former enemies who are now his subordinates, he welcomes anyone willing to work for the Beasts Pirates.

As long as he remains one of the Four Emperors, no one will dare to betray him!

Chapter 10: Heading to Subdue Kurozumi Orochi

Taking advantage of Kaido's good mood, Yamato raised her hands, showing him the shackles: "Father, can you remove these?"

"Of course, what would it look like if my daughter wore shackles!"

Kaido waved his hand dismissively.

Even if Yamato lies to deceive him, it doesn't matter. As long as Yamato is still in Wano Country, he can't escape his grasp.

Upon hearing this, Jhin took a key from his pocket and tossed it to Kane.

He kept the keys to the shackles of important prisoners on his person.

Kane took the key and quickly unlocked Yamato's shackles.

"Oh, my body feels so light." Yamato moved his body with delight.

Yamato's suffering over the past ten years hasn't been in vain; the years of wearing seastone have essentially put her under constant weight. Now that the shackles are off, her strength will likely experience a dramatic leap forward.

King turned to Kaido: "Sir, now that Yamato has returned to the Beasts Pirates, shouldn't we put that matter on the agenda?"

Should Yamato become the shogun of Wano Country?

Kaido seemed to be deep in thought.

It's not that it's impossible; that Kurozumi Orochi guy is becoming increasingly unruly.

"I've made up my mind, Yamato. You will replace Kurozumi Orochi as the Shogun of Wano Country."

With a wave of his hand, Kaido effortlessly decided the fate of Orochi and his crew.

"Yes, Father."

Yamato was overjoyed; she hadn't expected her father to make this decision without her even having to bring it up.

Just as Kane said, his father had always wanted him to become the shogun of Wano Country.

Taking the opportunity, Jin suggested, "Let Kane accompany Yamato; it'll be a good chance for him to make a contribution."

He also wanted to see if Kane's allegiance was genuine.

Kaido thought it was a good idea. He knew his daughter well. Although she was strong, she was a bit dim-witted. Without a shrewd and capable person by her side to help her, she might really suffer a great loss.

Kane readily agreed and accepted the task.

……

The next day, the sun had just risen.

"Hey! Kane, wake up! We're off to liberate Wano Country!"

An energetic white dog burst into Kane's bedroom and yanked off his blankets.

"Yamato, do you really think of yourself as a man?" Kane said, rubbing his hair in dissatisfaction.

Luckily, he doesn't have the habit of sleeping naked, otherwise wouldn't he have been taken advantage of by Yamato?

Yamato shook his head and said matter-of-factly, "If it's Kane, then it's fine."

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon; Yamato's straight ball left Kane speechless.

After washing up and having breakfast, the two officially set off for the City of Flowers.

"Oh! It's huge!" Yamato stared in shock at the dragon before her; this was the first time she had ever been so close to Kane's beast form.

"Come on up, let's finish this quickly." Kane turned around.

Yamato leaped with all his might, landing at Kane's dragon head. He raised his spiked club and pointed forward, his face beaming with excitement: "Dragon, take off!"

"Damn it, don't give me any random names!" Kane said, annoyed.

"What does it matter? Hehehe." Yamato squatted down and patted Kane's head with a grin.

Kane flew very fast, and before long, the man and the dragon arrived above the City of Flowers.

Flower Capital is the most prosperous region in Wano Country and the location of the Shogun's residence.

In the center stands a giant cherry blossom tree, and Orochi Castle, where Kurozumi Orochi resides, is also located here.

Kane's grand arrival also attracted the attention of the guards below.

"Who goes there! Stop...stop!" The samurai stammered as he looked at the giant dragon that stretched across the sky.

"Bring out Orochi! Tell him that Kaido's daughter has arrived," Kane roared.

Kaido's daughter?

Kaido only has one son, right? When did he get a daughter?

Although the samurai were puzzled, they dared not make any rash moves, after all, the monster in the sky looked too frightening.

"Brothers, hold on! I'm going to inform the general!"

One quick-witted samurai threw out a remark and hurriedly ran towards Orochi Castle, wishing his parents had given him two more legs.

Yamato, perched on Kane's head, rolled around boredly: "Kane, why don't we just charge in?"

Kane sighed: "Do you want to destroy this place and then conscript the people of Wano Country to do hard labor for you?"

Yamato was startled and quickly said, "I don't want that kind of thing."

Kane actually had another purpose: to lure out and kill Orochi and his gang, which would allow the people of the Flower Capital to learn about Yamato, making it easier for his next propaganda mission.

He is prepared to manage Wano Country well.

This place not only boasts unique natural resources—sea stone—but also top-notch processing technology from the sea. It would be a waste not to make good use of it.

What will happen to the Kozuki family in the future?

Kane could only wish them good luck.

As the two chatted, a large group of warriors suddenly poured out of the Great Serpent City.

The leader was a tall man with narrow eyes and a huge light blue topknot.

It was Denjiro, one of the Nine Red Scabbards, who had infiltrated Kurozumi Orochi's ranks and was using the alias Kyoshiro.

Meanwhile, in the upper echelons of the Great Serpent City.

A group of people, wrapped in black cloth, nimbly leaped onto the surrounding rooftops, keeping a close watch on Kane's every move in the sky.

That was another force under Kurozumi Orochi's command—the ninjas.

"Hehehehe, where is Kaido's daughter? I'm going to throw a banquet to welcome her." A lewd male voice rang out.

A purple-haired man with short, thick limbs, a large head and mouth, and a crown tilted at an angle, emerged from the top floor of the Great Serpent City, escorted by a group of warriors.

Kurozumi Orochi, who had cooperated with Kaido for over a decade, was naturally aware of Yamato's existence.

Kane lowered himself so that Yamato and Orochi were level.

"Kurozumi Orochi, I'm going to knock you out of here!" Yamato raised his chin, put his hands on his hips, and made no attempt to hide his intentions.

Ok?

Everyone was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

The onlookers below were also stunned. Had Kaido turned against the Shogun?

"Miss Yamato, are you kidding me?"

Orochi's face darkened. He wanted nothing more than to order his men to tear Yamato to pieces, but fearing Kaido, he could only force a smile and say, "Is there some misunderstanding?"

Yamato loudly repeated the words Kane had instructed him to say without missing a single one: "Kurozumi Orochi, during your time as Shogun, you exploited the people of Wano Country to the point of exhaustion, causing widespread suffering and resentment! My father, the Guardian King Kaido, repeatedly warned you against this, but you did not listen. Now, it has been decided that, effective today, you will be removed from your position as Shogun!"

Orochi could hardly believe his ears.

Kaido, have some shame!

And he repeatedly advised me?

Every time you advised me, it wasn't to increase the exploitation of the people, making them mine more sea stone and make more weapons.

Now look what's happened, they've turned around and are putting all the blame on me?

All Lao Tzu wanted was a bigger share of the profits from arms and sea stone exports, right?

If you disagree, let's talk. Why do you have to pick a fight and take my position?

Damn it!
