The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

When Luther saw Kozuki Oden slink away, he sneered twice and quickly left with Gion and the other two, only stopping when they reached a secluded spot.

"Even though I knew he wasn't a good person, when I actually met him, I still couldn't help but want to kill him."

Luther spoke in a gentle voice but with icy words, the chill in his voice sending a shiver down Robin's spine.

If Gion hadn't grabbed his hand, Luther would have done more than just verbal abuse.

With his strength and Conqueror's Haki, if he were to catch someone off guard, he would most likely be able to severely injure Kozuki Oden with a single blow.

Even if the other party reacts, with his and Gion's strength, they would be able to kill him.

He probably knew in his heart why Gion hugged him.

It was precisely because he understood this that he chose to attack the other party with words, causing Kozuki Oden to slink away in disgrace.

"Your Highness, thank you for everything you've done for me today, but no! We can't fight in the Flower Capital!"

Gion smiled gently, her hand gripping the hilt of the sword so tightly that it turned slightly red. Clearly, she wasn't as calm as she appeared, and she was also suppressing her anger.

But when facing Luther, she only showed her gentle side:

"Your Highness! I cannot disturb your enjoyment! Your plan is already halfway complete."

"Um...can anyone tell me what Kozuki Oden meant by that?"

Robin asked in a weak voice from the side.

She knew the atmosphere was tense, but she also knew that if she didn't say something, Luther might actually kill Kozuki Oden.

Logically speaking, both Kaido and Oden's retainers are in the Flower Capital.

Even if they manage to ambush and kill Kozuki Oden, they will still be exposed and inevitably face a fierce battle.

Luther ruffled Robin's hair and said calmly:

"The subtext of what that person just said was that he wanted me to bring Gion to accompany him to the teahouse, and he would also invite many geisha girls, and then we would all hang out together."

"Forehead..."

A hint of disgust flashed in Robin's eyes. Although he was young, it didn't mean he didn't understand these things.

Kozuki Oden never looked in the mirror to see what he looked like. In Robin's opinion, he was not qualified to be a slave in Gion.

Robin couldn't help but shudder at the memory of Kozuki Oden's lewd manner when he spoke.

Only Kozuki Oden would say something like that in such a matter-of-fact tone.

Especially when Robin thought about what Luther had said about Kozuki Oden's deeds, she felt nauseous.

People like that are just wasting air by living!

"Gion!"

Luther turned to look at Gion, his expression softening, and pulled her into his arms:

"Compared to you, the entire Wano Country is nothing. What's wrong with wiping out the whole country if you're happy?"

"Your Highness, I am actually quite pleased to hear such wicked words."

Gion smiled gently, her words tinged with teasing.

Based on her understanding of Luther, she knew he was capable of doing something like that.

But it is precisely because of this that she, as the one he dotes on, is trying to stop him.

Seeing that Luther looked serious and wanted to say something, Gion extended her finger and gently pressed it against Luther's lips:

“Your Highness, I’ve always known! You came to the New World seemingly to deal with pirates, but in reality, it was all for Wano Country. Back in the Holy Land, you always had information about Wano Country on your table.”

“I don’t know what Wano Country means to you, but this is a place you’ve been planning for a long time, and I won’t allow your plans to fall apart because of my own reasons.”

"If I have to do something for you, then let me be a little willful and let me be part of your plan to defend you against the most powerful enemy. That's the only thing I can do!"

Luther remained silent for a long time after hearing these words.

In the end, everything transformed into the tenderness in his eyes.

"I understand! Don't worry, loose lips sink ships, and the entire Kozuki Oden family will pay the price for it!"

This matter is not over yet.

Luther was no good man; if anyone dared to covet his people, he would make sure they got away with it.

If you dare to flirt with his people, then be prepared to be abandoned by everyone...

Robin stood quietly to the side, watching the two embracing, a hint of envy in her eyes.

Her eyes silently met Luther's, her mind racing...

If Luther were in Gion's shoes, would he have done the same thing...?

Based on her understanding of Luther, although it might not be as unconditional, she would most likely do it...

Thinking this, Robin couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Before Robin could react, something happened that nearly broke her down.

Following Gion and Luther into a wooden cabin, Robin, smelling the aroma of sake in the air, asked somewhat uncertainly:

"Is this a place I'm allowed to come here?"

"The tavern offers more than just alcohol; if you'd like, you can also have a cup of fragrant hangover tea."

Luther laughed and took a cup of tea from the tavern owner, placing it in front of Robin.

"Hmph, you bad uncle!"

Robin glared angrily at Luther, then lowered her head and began to struggle with the teacup.

Although she lowered her head, she still glanced at Luther and Gion out of the corner of her eye, watching them chug drinks one after another.

My mother always said that drinking is an adult game.

Robin was curious about the taste of the wine, but she also knew that Luther would definitely not allow it.

Robin expressed some suspicion regarding Luther and Gion's current behavior.

She felt that neither Luther nor Gion were the type to drown their sorrows in alcohol; their drinking together here seemed more like flirting.

Especially seeing the two playing dice with smiles on their faces, Robin became even more certain of her guess.

Ha, adults are indeed all dirty!

Robin thought with some resentment...

Mingming, I came out this time to accompany her shopping!

Watching Luther and Gion drink one glass after another, Robin's resentment grew stronger.

As time passed, this resentment eventually turned into drowsiness, and he slowly fell asleep on the wooden table.

Late at night, Luther came out of the tavern.

At this moment, he was holding Gion, who was drinking with a somewhat seductive manner, in one arm, and supporting Robin, who was already asleep on his back, with the other arm, and his face showed a bit of helplessness.

His subordinates were drinking even more than he was having a great time. Shouldn't he reflect on his behavior?

After arriving at the inn and settling Robin in, he carried Gion back to the room.

Looking at the slightly drunk woman in his arms, Luther's lips curled up slightly:

"Alright, we've arrived."

"Hehehe, Your Highness doesn't like me drinking?"

Gion's ruby-like eyes gazed at Luther, half lucid and half dreamy.

At this moment, she exuded a unique fragrance, her face was slightly flushed, and her slightly drunk appearance only added to her charm.

Admiring the beauty of Gion, Luther chuckled softly and wrapped his arms tightly around the other's slender waist:

"Of course I like it. You are different, and you have a different kind of beauty."

"Hehehe, if you like it, that's enough..."

Luther lifted Gion up from below, feeling the fullness in his palm, a hint of enjoyment appearing on his face.

Indeed, liking it is enough.

He had already been through a lot of trouble before, so naturally he wasn't going to let it go this time.

Having shed their bonds, the song of orioles occasionally rang out.

The moon tonight is exceptionally round.

The pines and cypresses outside my window tonight are exceptionally beautiful and captivating...

Chapter 80 Escorting Ashura Child

Two days later.

While Kozuki Oden was at the teahouse with several geisha to pay respects to his close friend Hyogoro, people from the Shogun's mansion broke into the Kozuki clan's residence in the Flower Capital.

This time, Kaido personally led the team, with his two powerful henchmen, King and Queen, by his side, all to prevent Kozuki Oden from resorting to desperate measures.

But clearly, they overestimated Kozuki Oden's determination.

Upon learning that Kozuki Oden was not at his residence, Kaido waved his hand dismissively, signaling King and Queen to capture Ashura Doji.

He stood there at the door, lost in self-doubt.

For the first time, Kaido wondered if he was wasting his time.

Does someone like Kozuki Oden really need to waste five years slowly planning and taking things one step at a time?

In particular, when he saw Oden's retainers ignoring Ashura Doji's capture, the contempt in his eyes intensified.

If it were him, and someone tried to grab Jhin, he would twist their head off.

Even if he couldn't win, he would have escaped with Jhin instead of being captured like this.

On the way to the outskirts of the Flower Capital, Kaido casually extended an invitation:

"Hey, want to work for me and become my third big boss? I won't abandon my comrades like Kozuki Oden did."

"No need."
