Wano Country.

After Kaido the Beast was killed by Kaede Night and died heroically, the Beast Pirates quickly fled from Wano Country under the leadership of Ember and Quinn.

Today's Wano Country is basically only the original samurai of Wano Country, and you can feel the entire country surging in an undercurrent.

Somewhere in the wilderness.

At the entrance of a cave that looks like a hidden cave, a little loli with blue hair who looks to be about eight years old is crouching with her hands on her knees.

Her clothes had a lot of sewing marks on them, and there was a lot of dirty dust on her cheeks, which looked very hard.

She is Guangyue Rihe.

Mitsuki Mita's daughter, and Momonosuke Mitsuki, are the rightful heirs of the country.

After Mitsuki Mita's death, she escaped from Gotenjo Castle under the protection of Kappa Kawamatsu, but because the black charcoal snake was hunted throughout the country, she could only hide in the wilderness to escape pursuit.

“……”

Twenty years later, it was only four years since the light of the moon sent Momonosuke and the others, and now it is only four years away, and there are still sixteen years to go.

This also means that she still needs to continue to avoid the pursuit of the black charcoal snake everywhere, and survive in the cracks for sixteen years.

But that's not what worries her now.

She is worried about changes in the environment.

Ever since the Black Carbon Snake, with Kaido's support, began to renovate Wano Country on a large scale and build various weapon factories, the environment of Wano Country has been constantly damaged.

At first, Kawamatsu took her to hide in the mountains and forests, and it was easy to get enough food every day, but now it has changed significantly.

Kawamatsu had to go out for almost the whole day to bring back enough food, and it became extremely hard.

She could almost foresee that in a few years she might not even be able to get enough food to eat, after all, she had little ability to survive, and the amount of food would gradually increase.

She decided that if the food became not enough for two people to survive after that, then she would leave and find a way to survive on her own, without dragging down Kawamatsu.

And just when Riwa was thinking so.

She was suddenly stunned, Huo Ran turned her head to look, and saw two figures appearing in the mountains and forests in the distance at some point, walking towards this side.

"That's ......"

Hiyori was slightly startled and immediately hid in the cave.

Although it was far away and covered by bushes, she couldn't see the other side clearly, but she could make out that it wasn't a river pine!

Sand, sand, sand,

Listening to the rustling of branches and bushes getting closer and closer, Hiyori's expression became gradually nervous, and his little hand grabbed the corner of his clothes, trying not to make any movement.

But the rustling sound eventually stopped outside the cave.

Hiyori is tense to the extreme.

And almost at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the darkness behind her and slapped her on the shoulder.

"Ahh!!h

Rihe, who was tense in his spirit, suddenly resounded throughout the cave, and fled desperately to the outside of the cave with a frightened face.

Frightened, she panicked, and before she could run out of the cave, she tripped on the stone on the sole of her foot, and fell forward.

"What are you scaring her for......"

Standing outside the cave, Kaede Ye glanced at Robin next to him, a flash of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his hand and waved.

Hiyori, who was about to fall into the hole like a ball and roll over, suddenly froze in the air, and stopped about a foot from the ground.

It felt as if she had fallen into a ball of cotton, and then the whole person flew upward, and was lifted to the mouth of the hole by the invisible force, and leaned backwards, so that she sat on the ground.

Robin looked at Hiyori and tilted his head, and said, "Is it younger than me this time?" ”

The corners of Kaede's mouth twitched.

What do you mean it's smaller than her this time?!

It always felt as if his image in Robin's mind had been distorted in some way, and her current thoughts were dangerous.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Hiyori, who was lifted up by the power of Kaede and put on the ground, gasped for breath, and there was still a little frightened gaze in his eyes, so that his whole body was paralyzed for a while.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that she barely managed to stabilize her mind a little, and looked at Kaede and Robin not far away in front of her.

"You...... You are ......"

Hiyori gasped slightly as he bit his lip and spoke.

Was it finally found by the people of the Black Carbon Snake? And Kawamatsu also went out to look for food, not here.

"It's Hiyori, right?"

Kaede looked at Hiyori and smiled slightly.

Rihe's heart tightened, but on the surface, he still forcibly kept his composure and shook his head, and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I don't know the person named Rihe, you should recognize the wrong person......"

A glimmer of light flashed in Kaede's eyes, and she carefully examined the Lori in front of her, and soon determined that the girl in front of her was indeed Guangyue's daughter, Guangyue Rihe.

He smiled a little and said:

"Don't worry, I'm not here to get you...... Because I got a little bit from your mother before, I'll make it up to you next in response. ”

"Huh?"

Hiyori was surprised.

If Kaede Ye was the one sent by the Great Snake to arrest her, she wouldn't have said such a thing, even if it was to determine her identity, she probably wouldn't have made up such a thing.

And looking at Kaede Ye's eyes that exuded a blue luster, she didn't know why, and instinctively felt a little trust.

"You are ......"

Hiyori stood up, looked at Kaede and asked in a low voice.

Kaede Ye smiled lightly and said, "You can call me Mr. Kaede Ye, by the way, you still don't know what happened in Wano Country?" ”

"What happened to Wano Country?"

Hiyori was slightly surprised.

In order to avoid the pursuit of the great snake, she and Kawamatsu have been hiding in the remote wilderness, as far away from the towns and villages as possible, and they have no idea what is happening in Wano Country.

Kaede Ye didn't answer Hiyori, but suddenly glanced not far away, and chuckled, "The person in charge of explaining is here." ”

With Kaede's words, the voice fell.

A voice with disbelief and surprise came from afar.

"Your Royal Highness! Her Royal Highness the Princess!! ”

"I just got the news in the town, that beast Kaido is dead, and someone killed him!!"

The sound came from far and near, and it came quickly.

You can see a chubby, angry bird-like creature jumping all the way from the forest with great agility, and it is the kappa river pine that screams as it runs.

"Hey!!"

Hiyori heard Kawamatsu's voice, and couldn't help but subconsciously cover his mouth, revealing a somewhat incredible look, looking in the direction where Kawamatsu was rushing, and said, "That Kaido is dead?!" ”

Despite her young age, she also knew who her biggest enemy was, and it was not the black charcoal snake, but the beast Kaido standing behind the snake!

That's the Guangyue Clan's worst enemy!

If Kaido is not defeated, he will never be able to overthrow the rule of the Great Snake, and as long as Kaido is defeated, the Great Snake will be fine.

But Kaido's strength is extremely terrifying, even her father Mitsuki Mita finally failed, relying on their strength is obviously impossible to win Kaido, that existence is a complete monster!

But now,

That monster is dead!

The news made her feel as if she was still in a dream for a moment.

"The Princess's Palace...... Hey?! ”

Kawamatsu, who rushed to this side, continued to shout, with ecstasy in his words, reporting the good news to Hiyori, but his voice stopped abruptly, because he saw Hiyori standing in front of the cave, and he also saw Kaede and Robin standing in front of Hiyori.

Its fat body paused in the air, and after rolling a few times in a row, it fell behind Hiwa, and almost subconsciously pulled out its sword, looking at Kaede Night and Robin vigilantly.
