Chapter 148: Facing Kaido
The father and daughter stared at each other in a stalemate for a long time.
Maria's hands were sore as she held the wine jar at the side, thinking to herself: What kind of drama are you two doing?
Master Yamato, don’t you want to apologize? That’s right!
After another ten minutes, Yamato spoke with difficulty again, with a very awkward expression, "Father, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so silly in the past few years... I... I feel very sorry."
Maria looked at Yamato's expression and wanted to complain. You look so reluctant to do this kind of Yanyi!
But Kaido didn't seem to notice Yamato's Yan Yi. He just heard the words "Father, I'm sorry" and felt great satisfaction in his heart.
It's just that the Yonko Kaido was a man. He had a strong spirit and resisted the change in his expression. He just gave an expressionless hum and nodded.
Yamato saw that his father had no reaction, so he continued: "I...I hope to reconcile with my father and return to the family."
When she said this, the awkwardness on Yamato's face was much less. Perhaps deep down in her heart, she still hoped to reconcile with her father and regain the family affection she should have had.
Hearing Yamato's words, Kaido couldn't help it. He picked up a big bowl filled with tons of booze, put down the bowl and let out a long breath, "Yamato..."
What left Maria speechless was that Kaido was stuck as soon as he opened his mouth.
After a while, Kaido didn't say anything more, but waved to Yamato to come over.
After Yamato approached, Kaido touched Yamato's head and said, "The body is too thin, so we need to practice more."
Yamato lowered his head, "Yeah."
Maria thought to herself that this was some kind of top-notch awkward chat. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to run away from the scene, but Kaido didn't say anything. She felt that any movement she made at this time would be the sinner who broke the 'atmosphere'.
"But girls don't need to be so strong, as long as their strength remains the same."
Kaido added another sentence, seeming to contradict himself.
It would be better to say that his brain is now in a semi-downtime state. After the initial excitement, his stupid mouth really can't think of what to say to his daughter at this time.
"Um."
Yamato was even more stunned. She would only say yes. She originally thought that the task was completed if she apologized.
But the moment her father stroked her head, she recalled the warmth of her childhood. For a moment, her eyes felt a little sore, and she forgot what to do next.
In this way, the father and daughter were silent for a long time again, but the atmosphere was not so stiff and gradually became softer.
In the end, it was Kaido who broke the deadlock first, "I heard that you made new friends in Tudon Prison?"
When he mentioned this, Yamato immediately became energetic, "Brother Lu is really a very good person. He wants to be with me..."
When she said this, she quickly covered her mouth, saying that it was so risky, she almost said in front of her father that she wanted to overthrow his rule together.
Kaido was speechless when he saw this, because he had seen everything in the live broadcast and knew what his daughter was going to do with that bastard Lu Li.
But it doesn't matter to him personally. As long as Yamato recognizes him as his father and doesn't say that he is Kozuki Oden all the time, everything else can be discussed.
"Well, Brother Lu is a very smart man. I want to work with him to manage the Beast Pirates better."
Yamato changed his words, thought about it, and added using Lu Li's words: "Well, we must become bigger and stronger and create greater glory!"
"Okay, since you said so, I'll give you a chance."
Kaido was relieved, "From today on, you are still the Ghost Princess of the Beast Pirates. Please pass on my order. You are not allowed to call Master Yamato anymore. You must be called as you were before."
Kaido's words represent a formal reconciliation with Yamato and the restoration of Yamato's status.
From today on, Yamato will be the daughter of his Yonko Kaido, the first heir of the Beast Pirates, and has the executive power of no less than three great kanbans.
"Thank you father. My daughter knows she was wrong and will behave well in the future."
Yamato said this awkwardly. Although she no longer calls herself Kozuki Oden, she still doesn't know much about the differences between men and women, but she probably still knows that she is a daughter, not a son.
Kaido ignored Yamato's awkward expression and felt very happy when he heard his daughter's words. If it weren't for maintaining the image of a cold and strict father, he would have laughed out loud.
"By the way, father, my friend is still in Tudon Prison. Can you let him out?"
Yamato returned to the previous topic and wanted to fish Lu Li out, "I guarantee that he will not cause trouble and attack father again."
As for the prisoners, except for Quinn, who is directly in charge of Tudon Prison, only Kaido has the authority to order the release of people. Even if she becomes a ghost princess again, she cannot exceed her authority, so she can only ask her father to release people.
When Kaido heard what Yamato said, his eyes were a little weird. After all, Yamato was the habitual criminal who attacked him. Now it was really strange that this habitual criminal would ensure that Lu Li would not attack him.
But he still nodded, "Since he is your friend and you have given a guarantee, let him come out and follow you. If he performs well in the future, I can also give him a cadre status."
Maria opened her mouth slightly when she heard the words. She wanted to remind the governor that this was not allowed. That Lu Li was a troublemaker at first sight, so he just left it beside the young lady. If he was given power in the future, would he know? What will the Beast Pirates become?
But she saw that Kaido was in high spirits, and since the Governor's words could not be changed at will, she could only watch the development of things in silence.
"Really, thank you father."
Yamato said happily, her gratitude this time was somewhat sincere, because without Lu Li, she really didn't know what to do next.
…………
The next morning, Lu Li sat up in the cell, stretched and moved his body.
He thought that Yamato had become normal now and should be able to do some good things for the people of Wano. He should also start thinking about how to run away.
Before leaving work last night, he inspected the various exits of Tudon Prison. After analysis, he felt that climbing the wall was the easiest way to escape.
He has the skill of stepping on clouds and using Shunpo, which can achieve the effect of flying. In the dead of night, it is not difficult to find an opportunity to escape.
While Lu Li was thinking about how to escape from prison tonight, the prison door opened, and the person who opened the door was not the jailer he saw every day, but the warden Babanuki.
Babanuki's elephant trunk opened the iron door, and he said with a strange expression: "Mr. Kaido has ordered that you have been released. Please go to Onigashima to meet him."
Lu Li felt bad the moment he saw Babanuki, wondering if Yamato had successfully fished him out, but that was indeed the case.
When walking behind Babanuki, Lu Lixin said that this was not going to happen, he didn't know how to manage the country, he was just talking about it before.
Not to mention one night, after thinking about it for two nights now, he still couldn't come up with a very good plan.
If Yamato asked him later, he would probably have to deal with it casually.
Because it was Kaido's order, Babanuki didn't dare to delay, so Lu Li was sent to the ghost island without even eating breakfast.
At the same time, I don't know if it was because of Kaido's order. Although the chain ball on Lu Li's foot was removed, the sea tower stone ring was not removed. It was probably because he was afraid that he would run away halfway.
Wano Country is not very close to Onigashima, and they had to cross the sea by boat. It wasn't until noon that Lu Li was sent to Onigashima.
Led by a pirate, he soon arrived at Kaido's residence.
Then he saw a super strong man over seven meters tall, a majestic figure like a bull demon sitting there, looking down at him.
Kaido's muscles were very strong. At a glance, Lu Li could only see a row of question marks in his detection skills, but he could tell from his aura that Kaido's power was not in the same dimension as his current self.
But Lu Li still wanted to complain, Kaido, why don't you do leg exercises when you're working out?
"Brother Lu, you're here!"
Yamato was also in the cave. He was very happy after seeing Lu Li. He ran over directly, took Lu Li's hand, and introduced to Kaido: "Father, this is my friend Lu Li."
"Um."
Kaido nodded and looked at Lu Li, "Boy, I remember you came to assassinate me before."
As he spoke, invisible murderous intent was released, and a huge pressure swept towards Lu Li like a sea tide.
Due to biological instinct, Lu Li's back instantly became wet with sweat. He was sure that Yamato had never experienced this kind of pressure, otherwise she would be a little bit overwhelmed.
"I am originally a ghost slayer in my hometown. I heard that the Fourth Emperor Kaido who rules here is a ghost, so I followed my heart and gave it a try."
Lu Li didn't want to bother to defend himself. Besides, he also knew that people like Kaido didn't care about his assassination at all. It was better to be more frank, as flattery would only make Kaido unhappy.
"That's very brave, but now what?"
Kaido looked at Lu Li, "Do you still want to kill me?"
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly, a powerful invisible aura spread out and impacted Lu Li.
Yamato was also frightened when she saw this, because she knew that this was her father's domineering domineering spirit!
Under the impact of this powerful momentum, Lu Li felt like a mountain of pressure, as if it was trying to crush his will and annihilate his spirit.
If he can't stand it anymore, he will faint immediately, just like the soldier in the anime who was raped by the overlord.
But just as his spirit was being violently attacked, he felt a roar coming from the depths of his soul, which 'shattered' the domineering aura acting on him, making his mind clear.
Lu Li stood tall and straight, but his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his eyes met Kaido's.
Kaido seemed a little surprised, "Boy, that's not bad."
When he spoke, he was also a little suspicious, because he felt that his domineering aura had just 'collided' with something abnormal.
Is it possible that this kid also has the aptitude for domineering?
Kaido secretly rejected this idea in his heart. Overlord color is very rare, and he also feels that there is no need for so many Overlord colors. If it is ruined, will it still be called Overlord color?
"The Governor has given you too much praise. Now my idea of challenging you has not changed. I just know my own shortcomings and am still practicing. I hope I can fight you again one day and improve my strength."
Lu Li responded, his words were neither humble nor arrogant. He stated his position, but also showed that he would not mess up. He also laid the groundwork for future confrontations, defining possible future confrontations as 'discussions.'
Kaido smiled after hearing this, and looked at Lu Li with a hint of admiration, "Then you and Yamato should work together. In my opinion, you are still too weak now."
Yamato was also moved when she heard this. Although she had already gotten the answer from Lu Li's analysis, her father's blunt words at this time still made her understand that her father had always been playing tricks on her before and had never come up with the real answer. ability.
Even though she has grown up to this point, she is still just a weakling in her father's eyes.
"That's what I'm thinking. I will learn from Yamato and keep improving."
Lu Li said, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that Kaido would not attack him. In this way, after he was no longer a prisoner, it would be much easier for him to leave in the future.
But Kaido's next words made Lu Li distressed again.
"By the way, I heard from Yamato that you know a lot about governing a country. Boy, why don't you tell me what the Beasts Pirates are lacking in their current rule over Wano Country?"
Kaido looked at Lu Li with dissatisfaction in his eyes. He wanted to hear what he did wrong.
