Chapter 178: Little White Fur Likes Little White Fur

Kaido had just turned back,

when he witnessed this unbelievable scene: Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen was truly preparing to return the famous sword Autumn Water to Oden's useless son.

How could there be such a person who is Heavy on Emotion in this world?

This only strengthened Kaido's resolve to splash dirty water; immediately, he transformed into his Azure Dragon form and sent Oden's wife and children on their way with a single Fire Dragon Great Torch.

The Fire Dragon Great Torch that burned the sky and extinguished the earth arrived almost simultaneously with Kaido's voice.

Saint Saint Saiwen drew his sword Autumn Water, swiftly unleashing two flying slashes to extinguish the flames while casually shielding the nearby Cat Fushe.

Xiong Xiong flames instantly destroyed the dilapidated Flower Capital Daimyo Mansion.

Almost at the same time.

Kozuki Toki activated the Time Fruit ability, teleporting Kozuki Momonosuke, Kozuki Hiyori, and all the Nine Red Scabbards except Cat Fushe twenty years into the future.

As space and time churned,

an imperceptibly fine flame needle precisely pierced Momonosuke's forehead and exited the back of his head; Momonosuke's eyes went black and he collapsed into Kin'emon's arms.

【Ding, Congratulations on completing the commission: Momonosuke Must Die, obtaining 10,000 points】

【Incomplete commissions: The Deserting Soldier Must Die, Imu's True Face, Nami's Panties...】

"Wu-la-la-la-la~"

As the Azure Dragon Kaido spiraled away, he still couldn't resist tearing open his throat to roar loudly, wishing the entire Flower Capital could hear him.

"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen killed the big sister-in-law."

"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen stole the nephew's Shogun position."

Regardless of whether the dirty water splashed successfully next, Kaido had fun playing, more fun than when he stole the Azure Dragon Fruit from Charlotte Lingling back then.

Simply fun to the top of the skull.

What does it matter if Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen occupies Wano Country? With such a rumor circulating, governance is impossible.

Kaido obviously didn't understand the people of Wano Country; the people selectively heard: Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen is Oden's younger brother, Momonosuke's uncle...

Saint Saint Saiwen was just about to draw his sword and pursue Kaido when Cat Fushe grabbed his arm.

"Saint Saint Saiwen Taro."

"With us testifying for you..."

Halfway through speaking, when Cat Fushe discovered that only the dying Kozuki Toki remained behind him, the whole person froze in place, exclaiming in shock.

"Lady, where is the Young Master?"

Kozuki Toki kept coughing blood, looking at Saint Saint Saiwen and requesting in broken sentences.

"Saint Saint Saiwen... Taro."

"Please... bury me and my late husband... together..."

Kozuki Toki understood—

Regardless of whether Saint Saint Saiwen returned Autumn Water to Momonosuke out of sincerity or not, it actually didn't matter; what was important was that Momonosuke and Hiyori must survive.

Oden had once entrusted her that if the campaign against Kaido failed, she should teleport the Nine Red Scabbards twenty years into the future,

waiting for Joy Boy to liberate Wano Country.

If Cat Fushe hadn't firmly believed that Saint Saint Saiwen Taro would not harm Momonosuke, Kozuki Toki wouldn't have hesitated until now.

And just now, Kaido's world-destroying strike only strengthened Kozuki Toki's resolve.

Rather than gambling here on whether Saint Saint Saiwen Taro would harm Momonosuke, it is better to believe Oden's prophecy.

"Good." Saint Saint Saiwen nodded.

After all, having spent several years with Roger's crew, and Shanks that guy often teasing Momonosuke, Kozuki Toki's request was merely a matter of doing it on the side.

"Th-thank... you."

Kozuki Toki's head tilted to the side, and she breathed no more.

Cat Fushe wailed in tears, yet dared not touch Kozuki Toki's corpse; the concept of hierarchy in Wano Country was extremely severe, especially since Kozuki Toki was Cat Fushe's mistress.

"Lady, oh Lady."

Kozuki Toki's death meant that the Paramecia-type Time Fruit would be born in some corner of the sea.

Saint Saint Saiwen hoped the arrangements he entrusted to Yuzhi Xiliu before coming would have some effect.

After all, it was the Time Fruit.

While Cat Fushe was crying loudly, Saint Saint Saiwen silently took out black cloth to cover Kozuki Toki's corpse.

"What are your plans next?"

Cat Fushe shook his head.

"Saint Saint Saiwen Taro... I..."

During this period, Cat Fushe successively experienced the campaign against Kaido, the killing of the head of the family Oden, the death of the mistress, and the Young Master and companions being sent twenty years into the future by the mistress.

A series of blows nearly caused Cat Fushe to collapse.

"Buggy Saburo... it's good he wasn't executed."

Cat Fushe still couldn't forget that if Buggy hadn't been publicly executed by the Navy, with Saint Saint Saiwen's strength, he would surely have saved the head of the family Oden.

But Cat Fushe could only say it.

The bond between Saint Saint Saiwen, Shanks, and Buggy was definitely deeper than those of us who came later.

How could we blame such a Saint Saint Saiwen Taro who is so Heavy on Emotion?

"Saint Saint Saiwen Taro."

"You come and be the Shogun of Wano Country."

Cat Fushe quickly added: "Wait until the Young Master returns in twenty years, then... then pass the position to the Young Master."

"Is that okay?"

Cat Fushe's innocence once again refreshed Saint Saint Saiwen's understanding of the people of Wano Country; he was practically a mold-cast copy of that fool Oden.

The position of Shogun is carved out by killing, not handed over through pushing and yielding.

"There is a Frost Moon Village in the East Blue."

"It was founded by Kozuki Momonosuke's ancestor, Shimotsuki Kozaburo; he is more qualified to become the Shogun of Wano Country."

Cat Fushe hurriedly spoke up, fearing that Saint Saint Saiwen Taro, being so Heavy on Emotion, would truly go to the East Blue to invite the Shimotsuki family descendants back.

"How can that be allowed?"

Everyone on the Grand Line knows: Saint Saint Saiwen Taro is not only Heavy on Emotion but also keeps his promises.

Letting Saint Saint Saiwen Taro become the Shogun of Wano Country only requires waiting twenty years for the young master Momonosuke to return, at which point the legitimate Shogunship will naturally return to the Kozuki family.

Cat Fushe did not trust Shimotsuki Kozaburo.

Even if Shimotsuki Kozaburo is a descendant of the Sword God Shimotsuki Ryuma and a legendary Wano Country swordsmith.

"Saint Saint Saiwen Taro, I beg you."

"No one is more suitable than you."

Cat Fushe had also considered installing a puppet Shogun, but what if Saint Saint Saiwen Taro and the Morning Star Pirates left once that happened?

Kaido would definitely return.

If Kaido returns, then what will they use to defeat Kaido twenty years later?

Saint Saint Saiwen's acting was off the charts; while showing helplessness, his face also mixed in a touch of hesitation.

"You really have made things difficult for me."

Cat Fushe breathed a sigh of relief.

"Saint Saint Saiwen Taro, rest assured."

"Once you assume the position of Shogun of Wano Country, I will return to Zou Island to bring back some Mink Tribe warriors; we will surely help you protect Wano Country."

Saint Saint Saiwen nodded.

"At the end of this month, Kurozumi Orochi will be publicly executed in the Flower Capital Plaza; for the damaged buildings, I will send people over to repair them as soon as possible."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Saint Saint Saiwen left; he feared that if he stayed with fools for too long, his intelligence would be affected.

Although Cat Fushe was related to the Zou Mink Tribe Duchy, he was too deeply influenced by Oden.

And when Saint Saint Saiwen reunited with his companions.

A little girl with a pair of pink-and-white gradient curved horns on her head, long hair that was primarily silver-white with cyan-blue gradient tips, and a bruised face ran over.

"Can I be Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen?"

Saint Saint Saiwen hesitated for a second, then reached out and pinched Yamato's chubby little cheeks.

"Better not."

"Being yourself is most important; you are Yamato, not an imitator of anyone."

Although you cannot be Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen right now, in the future you can be little Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's mother.

"Then can I take you as my master?"

Saint Saint Saiwen was slightly speechless: Little one, do you also want to be a disciple who rebels against his master?

Perhaps because he was too immersed in seeing Yamato for the first time, or perhaps because he pitied Yamato for being beaten by Kaido until her face was bruised, Saint Saint Saiwen did not notice at all that his hand kept pinching Yamato's face.

Nor did he notice the strange looks from the Morning Star Pirates' companions not far away.

Due to being too shocked, Shiki didn't even notice his cigar falling out of his mouth onto the ground.

The others were even more dumbfounded.

Only Barrett muttered quietly.

"Does little Bai Mao like little Bai Mao?"
