Chapter 299: Kozuki and Yamato

Wano Country, Flower Capital, Ten-shukaku.

"Lord Feiyu, there is an Oiran named Komurasaki who wishes to see you."

"Oh, then bring her here!"

When Kozuki Hiyori walked into this familiar Ten-shukaku, she happened to see Yamato walking in as well.

Frowning slightly, Yamato's tall stature and white gradient hair did not strike the well-informed Kozuki Hiyori as strange, but the two pairs of oni horns on her head, along with the masked Ulti leading the way, gave the former Princess of Wano Country some suspicions.

(Are they remnants of the Beast Pirates? I heard those pirates did indeed leave behind some women...) However, Kozuki Hiyori quickly withdrew her gaze and walked with small, measured steps toward the central palace with her head lowered.

As a famous Oiran of the Flower Capital, it was not difficult to come here; after all, that Uchiha Feiyu who came from the outer seas was also a notorious playboy. As long as one expressed a little "admiration," there would naturally be someone to bring one here.

Moreover, back in the days of Kurozumi Orochi, Kozuki Hiyori had been here before, so she was still quite familiar with this Ten-shukaku.

What surprised Kozuki Hiyori a little was that the tall, beautiful white-haired woman before her was taking the same route. Although her actions looked quite a bit like a black-and-white dog that liked to tear down houses—looking here and there—she was clearly also heading toward the central palace.

"Lord Feiyu, the Oiran Komurasaki and Yamato have both arrived."

Ulti pushed open the large doors and said this nonchalantly. At the same time, both Kozuki Hiyori, who had been keeping her head down, and the nonchalant Yamato looked over with some curiosity.

Kozuki Hiyori was purely curious, while Yamato, even with the brain of a husky, now felt something was wrong. Her old man was not the type to like jokes, and from his behavior just now, it didn't look like her old man was summoning her at all.

Tatami mats were popular in Wano Country, but after the two looked up, they discovered that Uchiha Feiyu was lying diagonally on the main seat at the head of the room.

And beside Uchiha Feiyu, a stunning beauty with a hime-cut and a cold, alluring aura, Hancock, was kneeling on the tatami, serving him with a face full of infatuation.

Uchiha Feiyu's head rested on her fleshy thighs, enjoying the touch of her fair, tender skin. Hancock picked up a grape and fed it into Uchiha Feiyu's mouth as if no one else were there.

And at Uchiha Feiyu's feet, the newly appointed Marine Admiral Momousagi was hugging his bare feet in her arms with a look of joy. Her thick palms were pressed directly into her chest, causing Momousagi to grit her teeth slightly and her body to tremble from time to time, yet she still continued to slowly massage his calves.

Just as she entered the room, seeing such a lewd scene, two blushes immediately flew onto Kozuki Hiyori's face. As for Yamato, she looked upward with curiosity, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

There was no helping it; this creature could walk into a men's bathhouse with ease even when taking a bath, so expecting her to have a high sense of shame was asking too much.

"Hey, what exactly is going on here? Where is that bastard old man? Could it be that he's really finished?"

Uchiha Feiyu spat out the grape in his mouth, his expression slightly strange: "Hmm!? Looking at you, how come you don't know anything? Didn't Ulti tell you what happened?"

"Lord Feiyu, I already told this idiot Yamato about it, but unfortunately she didn't believe a word of it. There was nothing I could do!"

Ulti muttered a few words. As she spoke, she stepped onto the tatami, climbed behind Uchiha Feiyu, reached out to undo her collar, and began to massage him with her two buns.

Yamato opened her mouth wide, dumbfounded, as if she had been frightened silly by the situation before her—of course, she wasn't afraid, she just couldn't understand how that sharp-tongued girl Ulti had become like this. "You guy, what exactly have you done?!"

After a long while, a recovered Yamato asked angrily. Although Yamato had a terrible impression of the Beast Pirates and Kaido, it wasn't as if she had absolutely no feelings for them.

Moreover, the behavior of Ulti and Black Maria was too abrupt. Even if Yamato had a nonchalant personality and seemed to have no brain, she knew how bizarre their behavior was; it was very likely they had been plotted against by some Devil Fruit ability.

To put it bluntly, the fall of the Beast Pirates and the death of Kaido were not too great a grudge for Yamato, but using such methods to deal with women was definitely not the act of a good person! "Tsk, you are that guy Kaido's daughter? You don't look like him at all!"

Uchiha Feiyu said indifferently and slowly sat up from Hancock's lap pillow. His expression didn't change, but Hancock, Momousagi, and Ulti all looked at Yamato with anger.

"How dare you speak to Lord Feiyu like that! It is a capital offense; I will not forgive you!"

"Mellow Mellow Mellow!"

In an instant, a pink light shone forth. A trace of infatuation flashed in Yamato's eyes, but she reacted in an instant, circulating the Haki in her body to neutralize Hancock's attack.

Although Yamato had no brain, it was precisely because of this—just like how Luffy's rubber brain could be immune to the Love-Love Fruit ability—that she had considerable resistance to the Empress's Love-Love Fruit. Coupled with her own formidable Haki cultivation, she easily blocked Hancock's ultimate move.

However, this move seemed to have flipped a switch. Yamato roared, her body elongated, white fur grew out, and a faint chill permeated the air as she transformed into a giant canine half-beast.

Casually picking up the kanabo on her back, Yamato didn't say another word and smashed it directly at Uchiha Feiyu and Hancock. The kanabo was wrapped in pitch-black Haki with lightning; it was clearly not a move meant as a joke: "Thunder Bagua!!"

"Tsk, you really are impatient... Don't break the room,"

Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes and muttered. He stretched out his hand, and his dark red Haki condensed directly into a wall of copper and iron. With a loud "Boom—", a violent shockwave spread out. After Yamato smashed down with her club, she instead retreated several steps, her arms trembling, and blood flowed from the webbing between her thumb and index finger.

"How is this possible!?" The white wolf girl's eyes revealed deep shock. Yamato knew her own strength clearly; even when facing Kaido, Yamato, wearing Seastone Handcuffs, could trade dozens of blows with him, and after removing the Seastone Handcuffs, she could fight him for 300 rounds.

As for condensing Armament Haki released from one's palm into a wall to block her full-force strike, even for Kaido, that would be considered a tall tale! Devil Fruit ability... or true Haki cultivation?! Although judging from the opponent's performance, it should be pure Haki, but is this level of Haki really something a human can train to achieve?

Just as Yamato was still suspicious and uncertain, Uchiha Feiyu's palm gripped slightly, and the external Haki wall transformed into a giant arm, directly grabbing Yamato in mid-air.

"Ugh! Cough, cough, cough!!"

The immense pressure caused Yamato to immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, a painful expression appearing on her face: "Damn guy! Let me go!"

"Let you go? Fine, then as you wish!"

Uchiha Feiyu chuckled, turning his grip into a slap, and directly slammed Yamato into the ground. It should have created a giant human-shaped hole in the ground, but the Haki spreading from his feet made the floor harder than diamond.

A "Crack!" sound rang out. Yamato, who had fallen to the ground, felt as if most of the bones in her body had broken. She spat blood again, and even her Armament Haki was nearly impossible to maintain.

Although the floor hardened by Uchiha Feiyu meant the wooden floorboards suffered no damage, it also greatly increased the damage from the fall. With Yamato's physical constitution, even without Armament Haki, she normally wouldn't be injured by breaking through the floor, but facing the reinforced floor, she would only end up breaking her own bones.

Kaido could fall from a Sky Island ten thousand meters up and smash a giant human-shaped crater into the ground, nearly triggering a small earthquake, yet remain unscathed. But if he landed on the ground and the ground didn't even have a dent or a crack, he would likely fall and become a fool.

"Ugh, it hurts... the floor is so hard!"

Dizzied and feeling as if her insides were burning, Yamato calmed down after a long while. She finally reacted, lifted her head slightly, and looked at the few people above, especially Ulti, who had a mocking expression. She couldn't help but curse angrily: "Ulti, you guy, be normal!! Aren't you my old man's loyal subordinate? And Page One, where has that younger brother of yours run off to now? Aren't you worried about him?"

Ulti pressed her two buns against Uchiha Feiyu's back, rested her chin on Uchiha Feiyu's shoulder, and intimately rubbed her cheek against Uchiha Feiyu's hair. After hearing Yamato's words, not only did she have no reaction, but she instead frowned and said with a look of disdain:

"Don't talk to me about that idiot Great Ape captain and the fool Page One! If it weren't for the fact that they had already been killed by Lord Feiyu, I would have definitely moved to finish them off myself!"

"My world only needs Lord Feiyu; what younger brother, what captain, are all things that are completely unnecessary!"

Seeing Ulti's performance, Yamato gasped: "You guy, what exactly is wrong with you? It must be a Devil Fruit ability! That bastard called Uchiha Feiyu used a Devil Fruit ability to control you."

If Ulti had betrayed her old man, Yamato would have found it inconceivable, but she thought there might be a one-in-ten-thousand chance. But for Ulti to thoroughly loathe her younger brother Page One, and even wish to kill him, was something that was absolutely impossible to happen in Yamato's eyes.

In the entire Beast Pirates, who didn't know the relationship between Ulti and Page One? Setting aside what Page One thought of his older sister, Ulti was a complete brother-obsessed maniac, the kind that no one could reason with.

Expecting Ulti to show killing intent toward Page One was like expecting her old man to suddenly change his nature and become a great hero (a great idiot) like Kozuki Oden! "Hmph, Yamato, you don't understand Lord Feiyu's greatness at all, which is why you say such things. But don't worry, you will soon be like me and understand that only Lord Feiyu is our final destination!"

"Give up! You pervert! I won't become like Ulti! You bastard, idiot, pretty boy!"

Yamato didn't speak to Ulti anymore, but instead looked at Uchiha Feiyu and began to curse. However, toward Yamato's verbal abuse, Uchiha Feiyu just shrugged and turned his head to look at Kozuki Hiyori, who should have been standing next to Yamato.

"That Oiran lady, what are you doing? Are you trying to leave?"

Kozuki Hiyori, who was quietly and calmly taking advantage of Yamato attracting attention to sneakily move herself toward the door step by step, froze completely. However, in the next second, a brilliant smile appeared on her face: "Well, the newly appointed Shogun..."

"Call me Uchiha Feiyu! I don't want to be any Shogun of Wano Country. Hmm, actually, I could also learn from those Celestial Dragons and call myself Feiyu Saint!"

Uchiha Feiyu said while rubbing his chin, but the playfulness in his voice made Kozuki Hiyori lower her head. She also heard Uchiha Feiyu's disdain for the title "Feiyu Saint." In the end, she followed the way the other women addressed Uchiha Feiyu and said: "Well... Lord Feiyu, I feel... this shouldn't be something an Oiran like me should be hearing!"

As she spoke, Kozuki Hiyori also put on a pitiful expression; as an Oiran who could dance through the social circles of Wano Country, tricking who knows how many unscrupulous merchants into bankruptcy without ever letting herself be taken advantage of, at least in terms of acting, Kozuki Hiyori could be called the best in Wano Country.

"It doesn't matter, so what if you tell people about it? Just like twenty years ago in Wano Country, everyone knew that Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi were no good, but in the end, apart from that brainless fool Kozuki Oden and a few of his subordinates, didn't the rest of the people of Wano Country still not resist?"

"Am I right? Miss Komurasaki?"

"N... no, you are right, my lord, it is I who was too nervous."

Kozuki Hiyori put on a nervous and uneasy expression, but the hand hidden beneath her kimono sleeve was clenched tightly, the knuckles turning slightly white.

"Alright, rest assured, I won't do anything to you; after all... you are just an ordinary Oiran, you wouldn't resist me like that idiot Kozuki Oden, would you!"

"Besides, you don't have the strength of Kozuki Oden; if you dared to resist me..."

Uchiha Feiyu moved his toes, and Momousagi, who had been massaging him, let out a soft, delicate moan, lowered her head, and began to slowly suck on his toes.

"You wouldn't want to... end up like this Marine Admiral, would you!"
