Pirate: I only come here for three things!

The main street of Flower City is not far from the busiest streets, has good lighting, and there are no highly polluting companies nearby.

It is precisely because of this that the one-bedroom apartments built here are expensive.

"Dong dong..."

In a room on the second floor, Yamato was awakened by the knock on the door. He rubbed his eyes, still half asleep and half awake.

"I'm coming in..." Duanmu announced.

"Wait!" Yamato realized something and quickly pressed against the door panel. "Wait for me five minutes! No, three minutes!"

Finally, eight minutes later, Yamato, who was inside the house, took the initiative to open the door.

"Morning." Yamato's face looked like a calm lake, like an exquisite doll. Today she is wearing a T-shirt that is a little too big, and her long hair is a little messy. Although the girl with red eyes and white hair looks a little malnourished, she has a good innate foundation. Now she was holding her right hand with her left hand cautiously, looking down at the slippers on Duanmu's feet.

"Do you want the slippers I'm wearing?" Duanmu looked at the girl's big round head. "Indeed, although winter has passed recently, it is still a bit cold..." Duanmu's words were very natural, as if he was not facing the enemy's daughter, but the relationship between them was father and daughter.

"...You spent a lot of money." Yamato has always maintained a state of neither refusing nor making any suggestions.

"Then I'll take you shopping after eating... buy you some daily necessities. As for washing your hands and getting ready to eat now, Jiaji has already prepared breakfast." Duanmu was already used to her attitude and was minding his own business. arranged.

He grabbed the girl's little hand and carefully worked out lather with soap in the bathroom. After washing it with water, Duanmu took the girl down to the living room on the first floor.

Although the sun is shining outside, it is a good weather. But the first floor seemed very dark. The most fundamental reason for this is of course to prevent Leopard Goro's men from peeping. Although the effect is not obvious, it is better than nothing. All the curtains were tightly drawn.

Stierrez was already seated at the dinner table, reading the local newspaper. There were two breakfasts on the table, which seemed to be separate meals. Each plate comes with two fried eggs, a cereal and two large slabs of smoked meat.

"Sit yourself." Jiaji came over carrying the remaining two plates. The contents inside are the same as the previous two copies. "Then just take your own share."

"Jiaji, bring me another can of beer, the one we bought when we were shopping yesterday." Duanmu said.

"Why don't you get it yourself."

"You are so cruel. Who was taking care of you while you were in coma... I didn't expect that after you woke up..." Duanmu wiped away the non-existent tears. Accusing his friend of his ruthlessness. As for what to take care of, it is of course nonsense. At that time, he was busy negotiating with Bao Goro. The person who really took care of Kaji was actually the cold-faced man Stierrez who was reading the newspaper without saying a word.

"Stop it, I feel disgusted when you say this on your face." Jiaji looked like he couldn't stand it, and then turned to look at Stirres.

"what do you drink?"

"Want a beer, too."

"Are you drinking this early in the morning... ok." Jiaji responded: "What about you? Do you want orange juice or milk?"

Duanmu rubbed the little devil's head next to her, and she raised her head and looked at Duanmu. Duanmu pulled out their chairs and motioned for him to sit on them.

Yamato sat up obediently.

"Orange juice or milk?" So Duanmu repeated it again.

In an instant, Yamato looked like a short-circuit.

"...Anything will do, whether it's orange juice or milk."

But in the end the girl still didn't make a choice.

Since the character of Yamato appeared in the Wano Chapter, he has been criticized by various "sea fans". Comments such as "unfilial daughter", "brainless fan" and "fangirl" are common. However, there is nothing wrong with Yamato's own character creation. If there is a fault, it would be something wrong with the "idol" she admires.

Just like when we were young, we got to know each other through art, readers, etc., or even abroad, and developed a yearning for that country. This is actually a transformation of public perception and a defense based on it. What Yamato knew about Kozuki Oden was essentially relying on the samurai who was imprisoned together and Oden's diary.

Someone once said, no serious person keeps a diary.

And what Yamato later worshiped was by no means the real Kozuki Oden. But the glorious him in the diary. It is the "ideal other" in Yamato's ideal.

Favorability towards others can always be divided into “ideal others” and “ideal self”. And it is precisely because she has different emotions towards the "ideal other" in the diary that she chooses to pin her actions and even beliefs on this ideal other. This is such a problem. How would we feel if there was a person in reality who regarded ** as the ideal other and aligned all his actions and even beliefs with ** in his daily actions?

This is just like the most revolutionary character in Water Margin is the black whirlwind Li Kui.

As for the issue of unfilial daughters... there is a popular topic recently "This is a highly educated white-eyed wolf". The doctor from Peking University has not returned home for 20 years. This is the same issue. In reality, being brought to work by your family is extremely unsolvable, but what Kaido did was much more serious than that.

Due to a tragic childhood, even Naruto, who was extremely perverted, seemed a bit extreme. For a long time, the great revenge of becoming Hokage served as the pillar to support his inner conflict.

The "hostage" who was taken away by Duanmu in that incident still looks like he has nothing. In fact, the actual essence is that he suffered too much trauma before. The reason why she worships Oden so much is that it seems that her brain is not normal but it is a normal thing.

Just like Kaido’s education model...

People always become alienated in difficult situations. Regardless of whether it is called the characteristics of a convert or something else, in short, it is a mutation caused by excessive mental internal friction and the lack of positive feedback from the outside of the environment.

Now Yamato has been treated coldly by Kaido because of this. She didn't understand why she was treated like this if she liked Kozuki Oden, as others said, and Kaido didn't have any explanation for her daughter in this regard. Instead, he chose stick education that was simpler and more enjoyable for him.

A beast that has never experienced the warmth of a family, ultimately passes on the misfortune of his family to his next generation. And it has led to the current situation where Yamato is submissive and even a little sluggish.

Stick education cannot cultivate real talents. If the child does not grow crooked because of this, it is not the parents' credit. It's just that the child has found a new window for self-adjustment. There are always people who say how pitiful children who lack father's love and mother's love are.

This girl Yamato has both.

After breakfast was finally finished, Yamato quickly ran upstairs without looking back.

"Hey...remember to comb your hair! I'll take you out to buy some daily necessities later!" Duanmu looked at the little feet sizzling on the wooden board, and Yamato who was fertilized like a rabbit said with a smile. After hearing Duanmu's voice, Yamato Running faster.

"Is there anything else you need me to run errands for?" Stiers put down the newspaper in his hand. In the recent period, Duanmu has been basically idle every day. First, he found Hanano Hyogoro, the largest gang leader in the country of Wano, and then he discussed non-stop with the remnants of the Kozuki family. The key is that these are all technical tasks that require brains, and the remaining two guys really can't play a role in this aspect.

If this were not the case, according to the father-son relationship between Duanmu and Jiaji, he would not be able to enjoy this friend's breakfast.

Well, although the omelette was too oily and the meat was not cooked well either. At first glance, he looks like a guy who doesn't usually cook much. His eyes looked at Jiaji who was washing the dishes. How long has it been since this guy cooked? No wonder I can’t find a girlfriend and am still single.

Let's go out and eat something delicious later... Duanmu is already thinking about extra meals later.

And on the other side... Stierres picked up the newspaper he was holding before. It has been so long, and it hasn't even changed at all. On the big headline on the side facing Duanmu, this newspaper, which is only sold within the country of Wano, wrote a huge hot headline.

The World Government decided to evacuate its troops and citizens from Wano.

"...Has anyone ever said that you can't hide things? You have specifically put the World Government evacuation column in front of me for a long time." Duanmu listened to the sound of water, and Jiaji was still washing the tableware in the kitchen, and was doing it smoothly. A ceramic bowl was broken.

"I didn't think of how to start this topic." After a few seconds of silence, Stiers admitted and put down the newspaper in his hand.

In his opinion, now that the aggregation had been restored, it was time to return to the Warspite. It doesn't matter how Wano will develop in the country. There was no justice in the struggle for power, and he had no interest in the chaos.

In fact, Stierres is a very understanding person, he is too pure. Pure training, pure execution of orders, pure belief in justice. He is a pure soldier, his brain circuit has always been straight, and it can even be said that he does not beat around the bush.

It's hard for him to want to find a better entry point, but Duanmu saw through his little thoughts at a glance.

"I know that returning to the Warspite now is the most suitable choice for you, but it is not for me." Duanmu said. "No matter what you think of Kaido's raid on us, the result is that this thing was really messed up. No one would have thought that Kaido would tear up the alliance so easily, let alone that he had just received the ransom from the World Government. They attacked us again."

That disaster happened not long ago, after he secretly let Friedrich and his two children go. The three of them narrowly escaped and are currently resting in the Flower Capital, the capital of Wano Country.

"However, the blame must be on me. No matter how many of the more than 200 people on that ship are still alive, I will be responsible for this matter to the end. Whether I want it or not, haha."

Stierres was not familiar with Duanmu. He didn't know why Duanmu chose him to participate in this prisoner exchange. He also didn't know why Duanmu chose to take him on the life-saving ship at the last moment. Survival boat. But in the whole matter, he did not have any special hatred or blame for Duanmu.

He just said objectively: "It's not your fault."

"But others won't think so." Duanmu said. "I don't need to go back to know the general development of things later... All the faults have now been pushed to me. The Tianlong people are not willing to take the blame. Others cannot afford to take the blame. I am the only one who is just right."

Stirres added: "But Marshal Kong and President Kennedy will protect you."

In any case, Duanmu is a high school disciple and can talk to many people. This mission was commissioned by the Celestial Dragons and personally issued by current President Kennedy. In addition, he can't be any harder backstage. What about the pot?

Don’t you see that the son of Mei Xi Zong can make a lot of money?

"So what about the remaining 200 people who traveled with us? They were all selected by me. Most of them thought this was just an ordinary gold-plating operation... In fact, I did too at the beginning. I thought so, and I even called my grandpa in advance to ventilate him just to be on the safe side.”

"Now, how many of them are alive?" Duanmu looked directly at the guy in front of him.

"...You can't afford this." Stierres did not expect that the high school boy would give such an answer.

He understood what the guy in front of him was carrying. Perhaps there was a reluctance to go back in embarrassment, and a utilitarian desire to earn political achievements... But now he could see the purity of part of his things in his eyes, and he recognized this purity. Of course, this kind of purity may be just pretending or acting. None of that matters.

"So I should give up...? Don't be ridiculous. I won't go there until Kaido is completely killed." Duanmu understands politics very well, so he knows that if he follows the current policies of Wano Country, If the situation continues, Kaido will make a comeback soon. When the time comes, no one can say whether he will choose to leave Wano and develop elsewhere or continue to work hard here.

After all, he can live well, or maybe he will fall into despair like Moonlight Moria?

But for Duanmu, this was not enough. And now is the last window for him to send Kaido to the West.

"...I know, if that's the case, please count me in. I'm repaying your favor for saving me." Stirres said: "And if you fail, I will try my best to save your life, and if you If you unfortunately die in battle, I will be responsible for burying you."

Jiaji tossed the water in the sink.

"Then the three of us have reached an agreement now. Although I still think it's better to go back directly... But since you have the confidence and plan to kill Kaido... let's go crazy with you." Jiaji said, "Next. I won't be beaten to the ground with just one blow." Compared to Stierres joining simply because Duanmu wanted to take those lives and chose revenge, Jiaji's joining was more pure.

"After all, am I considered your childhood sweetheart?" He smiled as he spoke. My life is simply a green foil for the two golden boys and girls. It was like this before, and it seems to be pretty good now.

Not bad though.

"The word childhood sweetheart is really disgusting when it comes out of your mouth." Duanmu gave his friend the middle finger, and then the two started to fight.
