Chapter 480 Wano Country's Debt

"Join...big brother's pirate group?"

Xiaoyu raised her head timidly, the tears in her eyes had not yet disappeared, and her whole face looked particularly pitiful.

And facing the sudden invitation from Chihong, her brain crashed directly, and she subconsciously asked for help from Grandpa Tengu behind her.

However, facing Xiaoyu's prayer for rain, the old man Tengu was in a dilemma at this moment.

Now that everything in Wano Country is thriving, he certainly doesn't want Xiaoyu to go to sea rashly and become a pirate who gallops on the sea.

Not to mention that she is a pirate of the Straw Hat Pirates!

Everyone knows that there will be a war between the Straw Hat Pirates and the World Government.

And this war will also affect the final direction of the world.

Although the current situation shows that the Straw Hat Pirates have the upper hand.

But the World Government is a powerful organization that has ruled the world for 800 years. Who knows if they still have a back-up plan.

But don't let Xiaoyu join the Straw Hat Pirates...

Old Tengu raised his head and looked at the man who looked calm but dared not look directly at him.

After a while, he whispered in a slightly hoarse throat:

"Xiaoyu, you have grown up, you can make decisions for your future."

"Don't worry, no matter what decision you make, Grandpa Tengu will always support you!"

Huh...

Looking at the obvious "you are sensible" light flashing in Chihong's eyes, Old Tengu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he did not interfere with Xiaoyu's choice, he knew that Xiaoyu had longed for the outside world since she was a child, and she was also very good friends with Ace, the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates.

If there is a chance, this little guy will definitely not miss the opportunity to go to sea.

And if the Straw Hat Pirates treat Xiaoyu sincerely, this is probably the best choice in the world.

I just don't know why the other party chose Xiaoyu?

"So, Xiaoyu, what do you think?"

Chihong continued to ask with a smile.

In fact, he had planned to invite Xiaoyu to join the Straw Hat Pirates a long time ago, or to invite the user of the Dango Fruit to join the Pirates.

After all, the ability of the Dango Fruit can be regarded as a rule-level ability, which can make all animals obedient, which will be of great help to their subsequent creation of real Pokémon in the pirate world.

And...

Although I don’t know whether the cover story of the comics is considered a formal plot, Red has never forgotten the space pirates who appeared in the cover story.

The appearance of those space pirates seems to be half-human and half-beast fur tribe.

If they can also be controlled by the ability of the Dango Fruit, then Xiaoyu’s value is not ordinary.

"I~" Xiaoyu rubbed her fingers.

She has seen that the big brother in front of her does not seem to be prepared to harm her.

But suddenly asking her to join the pirate group is really a bit too strange.

"Oh, right~"

As if seeing Xiaoyu's hesitation, Chihong suddenly said:

"Although we are not in the same pirate group, we have a good relationship with Ace~"

"Ace, he always comes to our place to drink!"

"Ace... Brother Ace?!"

"Are you talking about Brother Ace!?"

Originally, Xiaoyu, who was still hesitating, became excited after hearing Ace's name, and her two charming eyes flashed with obvious light.

"Yes, it's the Ace you know!"

Chihong smiled and nodded.

"He mentioned you to me, so I invited you to join our pirate group."

"By the way, our captain and Ace are sworn brothers, closer than real brothers."

"So you should know that we are definitely good people!?"

"Yeah!"

Love the house and the dog.

Hearing that the Straw Hat Pirates actually had such a close relationship with Ace, Xiaoyu, who already admired him very much, immediately nodded her head and completely believed that the Straw Hat Pirates were good people.

"So... are you willing to join?" Chihong asked again.

This time, Xiaoyu didn't hesitate too much. She just pursed her lips and nodded directly:

"I, I do!"

"But big brother, Xiaoyu doesn't know much, but Xiaoyu is willing to learn. I wonder what I can do after joining big brother's pirate group?"

"Haha, you don't have to do anything!"

Hearing that Xiaoyu was willing to join, Chihong laughed and wiped the tears from the corners of Xiaoyu's eyes intimately, and said directly to Komachiyo behind her, who was Xiaoyu's pet and bodyguard:

"You are Komachiyo. Since Xiaoyu has decided to join us, you can come with us."

"I'll help you find it later to see if there is any mythical beast devil fruit that suits you."

Chihong picked up Xiaoyu familiarly and put it on Komachiyo's back.

"Come on, Xiaoyu, come with us to visit the Flower City."

"It's been a while since I last came here, and it has really changed a lot."

"As for you~"

After settling Xiaoyu down, Chihong finally focused his attention on the old man Tengu.

In fact, he had already recognized the identity of the old man Tengu.

After all, there is only one person in the whole Wano Country who can wear such a strange mask and walk on stilts, and take such good care of Xiaoyu!

That is the person who has died in history but is still alive in reality - the general of Wano Country, Kozuki Sukiyaki!

That is Kozuki Oden's father and Kozuki Hiyori's grandfather.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"Sukiyaki."

At this moment, Akahiro suddenly called out Kozuki Sukiyaki's real name, which suddenly made the old man who originally wanted to tell Xiaoyu tremble all over.

And Akahiro's eyes gradually solidified, falling on him like a substance.

Affected by Kozuki Oden, Akahiro really can't get any good feelings for the Kozuki family.

But compared to Kozuki Oden, the pure idiot, Kozuki Sukiyaki at least created the current world because he was really powerless.

Judging from the fact that he still refuses to take off the mask, he also cannot forgive his past self.

However, the other party is the former general of Wano Country after all, and he also has the legendary bloodline of the Kozuki family. It is a pity for him to fall into decline like this.

After concentrating on Kozuki Sukiyaki for a while, Chihong spoke again:

"Don't worry about Xiaoyu. Whether I invite her to join the Straw Hat or not to use her abilities, since she has become my partner, her future will surely shine brightly."

"And if you want to come to see Xiaoyu, or even join the Straw Hat Grand Fleet with Xiaoyu to escort it, I have no objection."

"But... it's too hard for Kozuki Hiyori to take care of the huge Wano Country alone."

"If you haven't completely forgotten the past, I suggest you go and help Hiyori."

"After all, what you should protect and what you shouldn't protect are out of your control now. You should do something substantial in the second half of your life to repay your debt to Wano Country."

"Sir Chihong..."

At Chihong's words, Kozuki Sukiyaki slowly lowered his head.

The reason why he hid behind the mask was that he didn't want to face his past.

But now, under the awakening of Red, he also suddenly realized...

Whether it is Pluto or Xiaoyu, now it seems that they have a new destination and no longer need his protection.

And he, it seems that he should indeed take off the mask and face his sad and pitiful life.

Thinking of this, Kozuki Sukiyaki immediately bowed his head to Red and said respectfully:

"I'm taught."

Red waved his hand indifferently: "Peace has come, do what you want to do."

"After you pay off the debt to Wano Country, you can come to me."

"At that time, you can still choose to stay with Xiaoyu."

As he spoke, Red took Xiaoyu who was reluctant to leave and walked towards the interior of the Flower Capital.

"Grandpa Tengu..."

Xiaoyu turned around and looked at Kozuki Sukiyaki who had taken care of her for a long time, with a reluctant look on her face.

Although she chose to join the Straw Hat Pirates, she also realized that she would be separated from Grandpa Tengu.

But Xiaoyu never expected that this separation would come so quickly and suddenly.

At this time, Chihong directly placed his palm on Xiaoyu's head, smoothed her hair, and comforted her:

"Don't be sad, Xiaoyu. Your Tengu Grandpa has his own things to do."

"Don't worry, he will come to see you after he finishes his own things."

"After all, you are his favorite Xiaoyu!"
