People are pirates, this navy is not very fair!

The country of Wano, the capital of flowers.

Fengyue Pavilion, backyard.

"Pay attention to the trajectory of my movements. Don't just look at it with your eyes, but listen. Everything has its breath..."

Sephiroth, wearing a blue kimono, used paper drawings to easily dodge Black Maria's attacks while explaining to her his understanding of Haki.

In order to make it easier for her to exercise, the girl took off the black kimono top she was wearing and wrapped a white bandage around her chest.

Whenever she vigorously waved her fists wearing finger tigers, her chest would always sway, as if she wanted to break free from the shackles of the bandage.

Chiyo, who was wearing a light yellow kimono, gently opened the door of the courtyard and saw Sephiroth and Black Maria practicing. She did not interrupt them, but stood aside and waited obediently.

Snapped!

Sephiroth raised his right hand and easily caught Black Maria's fist wearing a finger tiger, and he said:

"Take a rest first!"

"Yes!"

Black Maria nodded, breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat down in the corridor outside the house.

She first picked up the tea that had been prepared on the tray in the corridor, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on her cheeks.

"Is there a problem?"

Sephiroth turned to look at Chiyo, who was standing quietly on one side.

"Sir, someone has come to apply for a geisha job. She is a beautiful girl..."

Fengyue Pavilion has been recruiting geishas and geishas, ​​and people often come to apply, but not many people are actually recruited.

After all, as a face-controller, Sephiroth has always had an attitude of preferring nothing to nothing. He would basically not consider recruiting women who were not beautiful.

When he himself was away from Wano, Black Maria, who handled the arcade affairs on his behalf, always enforced his standards.

"Bring her over first and take a look."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing his words, Chiyo immediately bowed slightly, turned around and quickly left the courtyard with small steps.

When she learned that someone was coming for an interview, Black Maria quickly wiped the sweat off her body, put on her top, and tidied up her outfit.

After a while, Chiyo walked into the courtyard with a girl and stood in front of the two of them.

The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, and she was wearing a shabby brocade kimono.

She has beautiful long emerald hair, delicate eyebrows, and her appearance is barely good, but she doesn't know if her body and appearance will completely grow in the future, whether she will become disabled or become more beautiful.

Sephiroth first looked up and down at the girl who looked a little embarrassed. He was not very interested in her appearance.

Therefore, he gestured to Black Maria with his eyes, letting her decide for herself.

The two had been getting along for several months and had already gotten to know each other well. Black Maria was a thoughtful woman, and she understood Sephiroth's meaning instantly.

Immediately, she asked the girl:

"What's your name?"

"My name is......"

Hearing this, the girl hesitated for a moment before announcing her name.

"Little purple!"

She is lying!

Sephiroth, who was holding a teacup in his hand and sipping tea, looked at the girl in front of him again.

Green hair... Calls himself Xiao Zi... Why do I feel familiar?

Um! ?

After many years, Sephiroth's somewhat vague past life memories gradually emerged in his mind.

Wano Country + Green Hair + Xiao Zi + Geisha... the combination of these factors reminded him of someone.

Light Moon Sun and!

Thinking of this, Sephiroth immediately ordered Chiyo who was standing next to him:

"Chiyo, go out and do other things first!"

"I understand! Sir."

After receiving the order, Chiyo bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Finally, she closed the courtyard door smoothly.

"Then what talents do you have?"

Black Maria continued the structured interview conversation, constantly weighing whether to recruit this girl in her mind.

"I can arrange flowers, shamisen, dance..."

The girl who called herself Xiao Zi looked a little reserved, but she still reported one by one the Wano noble education program she had received.

"I didn't expect you to have so many talents!" Black Maria said slightly surprised.

If the girl is really as she said, with so many talents, coupled with her appearance, it is more than enough to be a geisha. If she can become more beautiful in the future, she can also compete for the position of oiran.

Just when Black Maria was about to let the girl show off her talents, a vague black mist filled the air...

If most people don't stare carefully at the air in front of them, they won't be able to detect the existence of black mist.

However, due to the particularity of her own abilities, Black Maria sensed the black mist immediately.

Black Maria's spider fruit, ancient species, and the ancient wolf spider form of the Rose of Gel's have a special ability that allows her to release a poisonous mist, which has hallucinogenic and nerve-paralyzing effects.

After Sephiroth conducted research on this poisonous mist, he combined his own black mist and blood memory, and combined the two skills with each other to develop a new skill...conscious hypnosis!

After the target inhales the black mist created by Sephiroth's ability, he can control the black mist to enter the target's body, hypnotize the other party, and create hallucinations.

If it is used on a certain target for a long time, it can even unknowingly distort its subconscious effect.

Since the human immune system will passively and gradually reject his blood, this ability only lasts for one day.

If he wanted to continue to be hypnotized, he could only use black mist to continue to invade the target's body.

In addition, consciousness hypnosis is not very effective on people with armed haki, and it is difficult to have an impact.

but……

Despite its shortcomings, it is still a very practical little skill. It can be said that consciousness hypnosis is indispensable for Sephiroth's ability to develop and expand his power so quickly in Wano and gather so many loyal followers!

After Sephiroth confirmed that the green-haired girl in front of him who called himself Xiao Zi had inhaled the black mist, he immediately hypnotized the girl's consciousness, causing the girl's eyes to gradually lose focus and become confused, as if she had lost her autonomous consciousness. .

"Tell me, what is your real name?" Sephiroth said in a slightly deep voice.

At this moment, the green-haired girl's consciousness was already in a state of uncertainty, and she lost the ability to think independently. She answered almost subconsciously:

"My name is Hiyori Kozuki."

Hearing this, Black Maria couldn't help showing a look of astonishment on her face.

She never expected that the girl who came to apply for a geisha job was actually a remnant of the Kozuki family...

This is the deadly enemy of the Black Carbon Orochi!

She was very curious about what the master would do with this girl...

"Why did you come to Fengyue Pavilion to apply for a geisha?" Sephiroth continued to ask.

"My father's retainer Hesong took me into hiding...

In order to make me full, he often gave me all the food he found, but he was hungry...

In order not to drag He Song down, I chose to leave him.

I accidentally saw the recruitment notice of Fengyue Pavilion, so I wanted to try to apply for a geisha...

I thought, if I succeed, I won’t have to live a life of hunger and wandering..." Mitsuki Hiwa said truthfully.

Sephiroth's eyes were fixed on the green-haired girl. He raised his right hand and gently rubbed the stubble on his chin, thinking for a while.

Putting aside the fact that Hiyori Kozuki is a remnant of the Kozuki family, she is just a beautiful girl.

In the original plot, she did not show any special talents. She was just a vase who was proficient in tea art. She had no use value and no threat. She belonged to the category of killable or not...

Um! ?...Perhaps, when she grows up, she will become more beautiful, right?

After all, in the original plot, Hiyori Kozuki is known as the most beautiful woman in the country of Wano. In terms of beauty alone, she shouldn't be bad...

Thinking of this, the corners of Sephiroth's mouth slightly raised, outlining a wicked smile.

He has no other meaning!

He is just somewhat interested in the future number one beauty in Wano Country...

Man! What’s wrong with being a lustful person... Yes, he is just greedy for other people’s bodies!

After Sephiroth made a decision in his heart, he gently hugged Black Maria's slender waist and whispered softly in her ear:

"Let her become the geisha of our Fengyue Pavilion as Xiao Zi!

You help me train her well..."

Black Maria heard the profound meaning in her master's words, which made her look at Kozuki Hiyori with a hint of displeasure.

After all, the girl is likely to pose a threat to her status in the future...

However, she then thought that since the master had given Hiyori Kozuki to her, if she could train him properly, Hiyori Kozuki would be stepped on by her forever.

"I understand! Master...I will definitely train her well..."

Black Maria stretched out her sweet tongue and licked her red lips, a flash of eagerness flashed in her eyes.

Sephiroth gently snapped his fingers and took the initiative to get Hiyori Kouzuki out of the hypnotic state, and then he said:

"We are very satisfied with you. You will be our geisha in Fengyue Pavilion from now on."

"Thank you, sir! I will definitely work hard!"

Hearing this, Guangyue Rihe immediately became happy, and he bent down and bowed to express his thanks.

Immediately, Sephiroth asked Black Maria to sign a contract of sale with Hiyori Kozuki, and bought the future most beautiful woman in Wano for fifty gold...
