If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 159 Flower Soldier 5

Chapter 159 Flower Hero Goro

【The perilous terrain of Udon, a natural hot spring location】

With a towel on his head and a Den Den Mushi lying on a coin, Bazel leaned back, looking quite content.

Lipriy saved the hot water and gently splashed it on the man.

"Hanafza, find a way to make a copy of that historical text and give it to me when we meet in the future."

"Including the historical text of the road sign we obtained in the Sea Forest of Fishman Island, we now have two rubbings."

"Next, we only have two more road signs left. Once we find someone who can read ancient scripts, we'll be able to find the location indicated by the historical text of the road signs."

"Yaralalala~~~ I'm really looking forward to us becoming the Pirate Kings!"

"Bazaar, Kaido, I'll be hanging up now. I need to check on the situation with Kozuki Sukiyaki."

Kacha—the Den Den Mushi was turned off, and Bazel casually tossed it to Kaido.

"Another important task has been accomplished, Kaido. During this time, try to stay in Wano Country as much as possible."

"I plan to personally deliver the energy vehicle in a while, and I'll take the opportunity to talk to Umit, the rising star of the underworld who's involved in smuggling and shipping, about a potential collaboration."

"I understand. You can rest assured and leave Wano Country to me!"

It would have been better if Kaido hadn't agreed; the moment he did, Bazel felt something was off.

Entrusting Wano Country to Kaido with peace of mind, Bazel glared at Kaido with narrowed eyes: "Don't mess around with me, you bastard. I've already laid out all the nets I needed to cast."

"You don't have much to do, except work with Abel to prevent Shiki's attack."

"There's only one thing: forming a cooperative alliance with Visalia."

"You'd better not resort to force in this matter. Visalia's island cloud technology and meteorological technology are crucial to us. What if they try something funny on the way to the professor—"

"You don't want to see our future Sky City fall, do you?"

Kaido frowned slightly: "Is it that serious? If Takamagahara falls, I'll twist their heads off!"

"That's why I can't go out with peace of mind."

Bazel sighed again:

"Instead of settling scores with the other party in the future, why not do things perfectly now?"

"Vesalia has no grudge against our Beasts Pirates. They are mercenaries, and we are wealthy landowners."

"We provide the money, they provide the labor."

"Why did you have to turn such a good relationship into a blood feud?"

"They are not members of the World Government, so they are people we can win over if the situation allows."

"Perhaps we could even hire them as our Beasts Pirates' dedicated meteorology experts."

"We provide shelter and countless research funds, and they maintain the daily operations of Takamagahara for us."

"Leave the professional work to the professionals. As long as we can afford it and provide a stable life, those meteorologists will not leave."

"This is a good thing for us, with no downsides whatsoever."

Kaido scratched his head and chuckled:

"Is that so? Then I'll do as you say!"

"Write down everything I need to be careful about before you leave. I'm too lazy to think about it."

puff~

Kaido glanced at Lipri, who had suddenly burst out laughing, raised an eyebrow, but didn't seem angry.

"Don't you think the way Lao Tzu and Bazel interact is strange?"

Lipriy didn't deny it, nodding in agreement: "That's right. Logically, shouldn't the captain be the one giving orders?"

Why is it that Bazel is always the one giving orders in the Beasts Pirates?

Kaido and Bazel exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

"Because Bazeir is a partner I've chosen; his brain is as reliable as his fists."

"If I were to die in battle someday, I would certainly entrust the Yamato to Bazel!"

Yamato?

Bazel then remembered the existence of Kaido's daughter and immediately asked:

"Is he a new member? Where is he?"

"No! Yamato is the name I've prepared for my future son!"

Kaido grinned and patted his chest with his right hand.

"I'm sure I'll have a son who surpasses me someday!"

"Just you wait, Bazel, my son will definitely be a smarter brat than you!!"

Bazel looked strange.

Yamato, intelligent?

You can say Yamato has a good figure, or you can say Yamato is mentally unstable.

But that girl's brain is definitely not associated with intelligence.

Bazel could tell the limits of the other man's intelligence just from the fact that he wanted to become Oden.

The upper limit is not high, and there is no lower limit.

If everyone wants to be like Kozuki Oden, how low can their moral limits be?

But Bazeir did not choose to refute, choosing to see through it but not say it.

He and Kaido were friends, no matter what.

If it's something we can help with, we should lend a hand.

For example, you could personally step in and help the other person adjust Yamato's thought process.

"Whatever makes you happy. Anyway, I don't think your so-called son is smarter than me."

Bazel wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the laughing and playing children.

A sense of peace and tranquility arises spontaneously.

"Kaido-san~~~"

"Once Wano Country is completely under our control, how about we vigorously develop its hot spring culture?"

"Hot springs for giants, hot springs for merfolk, hot springs for totem races~"

"Perhaps we can make a fortune."

"I agree with that."

Ganqiao lay sprawled by the hot spring, the wrinkles on his old face smoothing out completely: "Hot springs are an invaluable treasure!"

"Once this place falls under my control, I can remodel it however I want."

Kaido shifted his rear end forward, submerging most of his body in the water.

Then he picked up a damp towel and covered his eyes.

"The thing I'm most grateful for now is that I brought you into the group back then."

"Otherwise, things wouldn't be so relaxed now."

While Bazel and his group were enjoying the hot springs, Costa and his group, far away in the Flower Capital of Rakshasa, encountered a formidable enemy.

"Search nearby!"

"Ten thousand people are definitely nearby; don't overlook any residential area!"

"Boss Hyogoro is still waiting for our reply, don't let your guard down!!!"

"yes!"

The sound of wooden clogs pounding the ground carried further and further away. "Damn it, I never expected there to be such a strong person in Wano Country."

Several figures emerged from behind the garbage heap in the alley.

It was none other than the wounded Costa and the former members of the Lizard Pirates.

"Delong, where are the others?"

"Everyone scattered and fled. If they survive, they will head to the designated meeting point."

Costa lowered his head and sniffed the stench emanating from his body, his brow furrowed.

"Let's go to the rendezvous point and notify Boss Hanafza to come and provide support."

"I never imagined that the underworld of the Flower Capital would be controlled by a single man. That Flower Heigoro is not someone we can easily deal with!"

A few days ago.

Having received their mission, Costa and his party followed Hanafza into the City of Flowers.

While Hanafza infiltrated the inner city, Costa led about a hundred men into the town of Rakshasa.

They attempted to conquer the land by force.

Everything went smoothly at first, but everything changed after she met that man.

Hyogoro, also known as the Flower Hyogoro, is the boss of the underworld in the Flower Capital area.

He controls all the underground forces in the entire Flower Capital.

Costa looked grim.

Hyogoro's personality is directly proportional to his strength.

He was a man of principle and upright character, and the underground forces he led treated the people exceptionally well.

There wasn't a trace of arrogance in him.

This resulted in most of the samurai living in Rakshasa Town being admirers of the other side.

That day, he and his men got into a conflict with Hyogoro, who was out shopping.

Within ten moves of their exchange, Costa could see his defeat looming ahead.

Especially after the opponent used a special Haki called "Ryuo", his companions were quickly defeated.

Those samurai who were originally just watching the spectacle joined the melee after seeing Seihei Goro's appearance.

Left with no other choice, Costa had to break through the encirclement with his still-mobile companions.

"This score will definitely be settled!"

At the same time, Hanafza, who had just left the Great Serpent Castle, received a call from a Den Den Mushi.

"It's me," said Kacha.

"Boss—"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Delong quickly explained what had happened over the past few days in just a few words.

"Oh~~~ A very strong samurai, ya-ra-ra~~"

"I'm coming right now!"

"Deron, tell Costa, I'm taking you to get your revenge before dawn tomorrow!"

"Sharpen the knife and chamber the gun!"

"How could the mere country of Wano possibly stop the advance of the beasts!"

"I'll see if that guy's knife is faster, or my fist is harder!"
