Chapter 27

Believe it won't be long before the face of Wano Country is completely transformed.

Luo Xing traveled all the way to the Basket Village in Nine Li.

He remembered that a little girl named A-Yu lived here—a user of the Tsumugi Tsumugi no Mi, the greatest natural enemy of the Beasts Pirates.

Kenbunshoku Haki activated.

Soon, Luo Xing sensed something and walked straight toward a dilapidated little wooden house.

He reached out and knocked on the door.

Knock knock~~

"Is anyone there?"

"Who is it?"

A crisp child's voice came from inside.

After a moment, the wooden door opened, revealing a round little head.

A round little head, with great big eyes full of confusion.

"Who are you…"

Then those great big eyes suddenly opened even wider.

"Oh, aren't you that… that handsome big brother?"

"Oh, you know me?" Luo Xing squatted down, rubbed the little girl's chubby little cheeks, and said with a smile.

"Yes yes, I know you."

The little girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice:

"That day on the big screen, I saw big brother, and I also know that the current Big Sister General of Wano Country is big brother's wife!"

Big Sister General?

Luo Xing burst out laughing freely.

Yamato had gained yet another title besides the Most Beautiful General.

"Little friend, you're really clever, and sweet-talking too. If Big Sister General knew, she'd definitely praise you. By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is A-Yu."

The little girl A-Yu, without the slightest guard, opened the wooden door completely, spun around in place on the spot, her light green little skirt rippling in a graceful arc, and said with a grin.

Luo Xing couldn't help sighing inwardly:

Such an innocent and lovely little girl, she's really cute!

"My name is Luo Xing, from now on we'll be good friends."

Luo Xing reached out, lifted the little girl up, and sat her on his shoulder.

A-Yu excitedly clapped her hands, her face showing an unbelievable gleam of pleasant surprise:

"Really? I can be friends with big brother? I'm just an ordinary little girl…"

You're hardly ordinary—your Tsumugi Tsumugi no Mi would make even Kaido turn tail and run.

Luo Xing naturally wouldn't say what was on his mind, and was about to change the subject when an aged voice came from inside the wooden house:

"A-Yu, who are you talking to?"

Immediately after, a strange old man dressed as a samurai walked out.

The moment the old man saw Luo Xing, every muscle in his body tensed up at once.

Seeing A-Yu sitting on Luo Xing's shoulder, his face changed even more drastically.

"You bastard, let go of A-Yu!"

Before Luo Xing could speak, A-Yu protested indignantly:

"Big brother isn't a bastard, Master, you're not allowed to scold big brother!"

Luo Xing set A-Yu down and said with a smile:

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the descendant of Wano Country's legendary swordsmith Kotetsu—Master Tenguyama Hitetsu, right?"

The strange old man was greatly shocked in his heart.

This mysterious Imperial Son-in-Law of the Beasts had already gotten all his intelligence completely clear?!

"What do you want?" Tenguyama Hitetsu's nerves were stretched to the breaking point, and he asked with extreme wariness.

"Relax, I mean no harm. I just want to invite you grandfather and granddaughter to stay temporarily at the General's residence in the Flower Capital."

"Impossible!" Tenguyama Hitetsu refused flatly.

Luo Xing's smile didn't change.

He himself had come in person—did Tenguyama Hitetsu have the power to refuse?

Turning his head, he said to A-Yu:

"A-Yu, Big Sister General really wants to see you too. Besides, the Flower Capital has lots of fun places and lots of delicious things, like candy, red bean soup…"

"Red bean soup!"

In A-Yu's blinking great big eyes, a star-shaped gleam suddenly appeared.

Red bean soup was her absolute favorite thing to eat!

"Let's go let's go, big brother, let's hurry to the Flower Capital!"

Tenguyama Hitetsu wore an expression of helpless frustration, as if hating iron for not becoming steel.

This wretched girl A-Yu—as soon as she heard about food, she forgot all about her Master, this old man, and sent him to the ends of the earth.

Luo Xing led A-Yu by her little hand as he walked outside, when suddenly a glance from the corner of his eye caught sight of something, and he gave a soft exclamation:

"Is that the Nidai Kitetsu, one of the Twenty-One Great Grade Swords?"

Tenguyama Hitetsu hurriedly hugged the Nidai Kitetsu to his chest, treating it like the most precious treasure.

Luo Xing shook his head and smiled, "If it were the original Onigiri of the Supreme Great Blade, I might be a bit interested, but the second-generation Onigiri is out of the question."

He left with Uzuki.

Though Tengu Mountain Hifune was reluctant in every way, for Uzuki's safety, he had no choice but to follow behind Luo Xing.

Luo Xing's purpose in coming here was mainly Uzuki's Dumpling Fruit.

This supreme weapon specifically targeting the Beasts Pirates must be kept in his own hands.

Additionally, he wanted to study the Dumpling to see if he could develop something with similar effects.

30. Momotaro Rice Ball (Requesting flowers and ratings)

Uzuki's Dumpling Fruit possesses the ability to make all animals obediently listen.

For the Beasts Pirates, where almost every member is a Zoan-type user, this is simply a disaster.

In the original story, the Gifters army of five hundred artificial Devil Fruit users all defected.

Luo Xing would naturally not let such a thing happen again.

At the same time, he was also curious about the Dumpling Fruit's capabilities, thinking about whether he could develop a similar item to tame the Mink Tribe of Zou.

The Mink Tribe is a very powerful fighting force; not only can they naturally use lightning, but when encountering a full moon, they can also evolve into the terrifying Sulong.

Luo Xing, of course, wanted to bring such a fighting force into the Beasts Pirates.

Feed them the Seraphim cells, and instantly obtain a Mink Tribe army no weaker than the Gifters army!

The problem is,

the two great leaders of the Mink Tribe, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, are both members of the Nine Red Scabbards.

Getting them to submit is basically impossible.

Therefore,

Luo Xing planned to use the Dumpling Fruit to research an item that would make the Mink Tribe obediently listen.

He took Uzuki back to the General's Mansion in Flower Capital.

Yamato, who had already shown a bit of the General's bearing, in a military uniform, looked even more dashing and heroic.

"Wow, such a cute little girl!"

Yamato indeed liked Uzuki very much, pinching the little girl's cheeks and body, looking like a curious baby.

"Hehe, ticklish~~ Sister General, you're making me so ticklish!"

"Sister General? What a sweet mouth!"

Yamato couldn't help but kiss Uzuki on the cheek.

Luo Xing watched the two women with a smile, and suddenly, for some reason, thought of Kozuki Hiyori.

If only Yamato and Hiyori could be as close as real sisters like this, that would be wonderful.

【89】 Tengu Mountain Hifune, who was behind them, finally put down the heart he had been holding up a little.

Behind him, Tengu Mountain's Fei Che, whose heart had been held tight the whole time, now relaxed it slightly.
