Pirates: The system can also be the protagonist!
Chapter 229: The Return of Flame to Wano Country
"Brother, did you save me? I feel... I'm not hungry anymore..."
Xiaoyu stood up, covered her belly with her hands, with a smile on her face, she was so cute.
"This little girl is so cute!"
Nami pounced over and hugged Xiaoyu in her arms. Just seeing the little girl smile can heal everything!
Xiaoyu, who was held in Nami's arms, was a little at a loss. They had just met, but she was so enthusiastic.
At this time, Hiyori came up and asked gently, "Little girl, what's your name? Why did you faint here from hunger? Isn't there anyone living in Bianli Village?"
When talking about this, tears sparkled in Xiaoyu's eyes, but she still pretended to be strong and said: "My name is Xiaoyu, Master...is dead. More than three months ago, Master went to the Flower Capital...and was beaten to death by those people..."
"More than three months ago?"
Hiyori was stunned. Wasn't that the time period when her brother Momonosuke was executed? Could it be that... one of the people killed that day was Xiaoyu's master?
Then she heard Xiaoyu explain the reason of the incident. When Tenguyama Hichet learned that Momonosuke was executed, he just explained it casually and ran to the Flower Capital.
But in that battle, Tenguyama Hichet never came back, and all Xiaoyu heard was the national announcement of the death of the Kozuki clan and the Nine Red Scabbards.
Xiaoyu, whose parents died when she was young and who lived with her master, could barely survive a month by relying on the little food left at home.
But as early as two months ago, the family had run out of food.
Before, they could make a living by weaving and selling bamboo hats, but since the execution of Momonosuke, the whole country of Wano has fallen into an atmosphere of panic and depression, and many merchants have closed their businesses to protect themselves.
And those poor people who can't even afford to eat, how could they possibly come to buy Xiaoyu's hat?
Naturally, Xiaoyu lost her only source of livelihood, which also resulted in Xiaoyu having to go to bed hungry every day.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu actually managed to survive on her own for two months and finally met the Emperor.
After listening to Xiaoyu's description, the girls fell silent and were full of sympathy for Xiaoyu. Even Shirahoshi and Carrot were so empathetic that they burst into tears.
Only Hiyori and Shinobu already understood in their hearts that the master that Yumi was talking about was the man who slashed at Kaido that day, and also Hiyori's grandfather.
With tears in her eyes, Hiyori hugged Xiaoyu and comforted her: "It's okay, I will be your family from now on, and there will be days when you will have enough food to eat..."
"Brother, sister, I don't even know your names!"
"What a strong child! My name is Nami, and the brother who saved you is called Emperor."
Nami covered her mouth and introduced Xiaoyu, and then the others also gave their names.
Xiaoyu's mind was a little confused as she had to remember so many names at once, but just from the names, she knew that these people were from overseas.
So Xiaoyu looked at Emperor with expectant eyes: "Brother Emperor, you are from overseas, right? Do you know Ace? He came here two years ago and made an agreement with me that he would take me out to sea when I became a charming female ninja."
"Ace? Is that the Fire Fist Ace?"
"Isn't that already..."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether they should tell the truth.
The Emperor touched his nose awkwardly. He not only knew it, but Ace died in front of him, along with Straw Hat Luffy, who was killed by the Hellhound.
Everyone has to face the facts, and Emperor Zun did not intend to hide it: "I know him. I also participated in the war at the top. Ace and his brother died in that war together."
After hearing these words, Xiaoyu was stunned.
The next second, Xiaoyu burst into tears: "Brother, you are lying! How could Ace die? He clearly had an agreement with me..."
Nami quickly hugged Xiaoyu to comfort her, and glared at Emperor Zun. How could a 36-degree mouth say such cold words, and not be a little more tactful.
However, just as Nami was comforting Xiaoyu, another group of people appeared in the woods, led by a man with a human upper body and a lion head on the lower body.
Seeing a group of unfamiliar guys, Holdem showed his fierce face: "You! Where are you from? Did you kill the people in the rice field?"
Tashigi stepped forward with a cold face and sword in hand. She didn't expect that someone from the Beasts Pirates would appear so soon, and it seemed that he was a small leader.
"Lord Holdem, these people's clothes..."
After being reminded by his subordinates, Holdem noticed that all the people in front of him were dressed completely differently from their compatriots, which means that these people were all from overseas.
"So... all of you are invaders, right?" Holdem drew his sword and pointed it forward.
But before he could react, Emperor Zhan had already passed in front of him, and a hand fell straight down.
"This is the user of the artificial fruit ability, right? He looks weird..." Peacock waved his hand lightly, and a strong wind blew up, blowing Holdem and others into the sky.
"Ah~! Damn it! You bastards! Notify Runti immediately and ask her to come over for support!"
Holdem, who was spinning in the air, gave an order, and one of his men immediately took out a phone and said, "Hello! We have encountered the enemy! Requesting support! Right now..."
Before he could finish his words, Dashigi appeared in front of him and slashed him diagonally with a knife, cutting him in half.
"Wait! Dashigi, please let me do it..."
Hiyori clenched her fists, her body began to burn, and the next moment she turned into a ball of fire and flew into the sky.
Xiaoyu was stunned when she saw this scene. In that moment, she seemed to see Ace, that flame, which she always remembered.
"Kagero!"
boom!
The flames followed the peacock's strong wind and turned into a fire tornado in the bamboo forest. Screams were heard from the flames.
The flames continued until there was completely no sound, and then Rihe slowly flew back to the side of the Emperor.
Looking at the figures that were burned to charcoal falling one by one, Xiaoyu murmured: "Just now... was that... Ace's ability?"
"What Ace's ability? I don't know. This is the ability that the devil fruit Emperor gave me."
Hiyori didn't know Ace, she only knew that now that she had power, she couldn't always hide behind others. This was a responsibility she couldn't escape from, and she absolutely couldn't be like her father.
But in Xiaoyu's opinion, this is Ace's ability.
Although Ace did not fulfill the promise, now, the flame that is enough to warm people's hearts is back.
At this moment, Xiaoyu felt a mixture of bitterness and warmth in her heart. Looking at the Emperor again, she seemed to see what her master had said before, that in the future there would definitely be warriors from Kozuki who would come to destroy the evil spirits of Wano Country.
"Big Sister Hiyori, are you..."
Hiyori looked back and smiled, "I am Kozuki Hiyori, the daughter of the general of Wano Country. Your master is my grandfather."
Xiaoyu was stunned: "So... you are my sister?"
"Yes!"
"What? I'm a sister too!" Nami looked dissatisfied and rubbed Xiaoyu's head, telling Xiaoyu that everyone here was Xiaoyu's sister.
Smoothie waved his hand and said, "Don't be sentimental here, let's go to the town and take a look at the situation first!"
"Then let's go. Don't sit on the puppy anymore. It can't handle so many people."
After saying that, the Emperor stretched out his hand, a magic sword was sucked over, and then he threw it directly to Tashigi.
Taking the demon sword, Dashigi opened her eyes wide and examined it carefully: "This... This is the demon sword Kitetsu! This blade guard is definitely the second generation Kitetsu!"
Xiaoyu took a look and blurted out: "That is Master's knife, it has been hanging on the wall. Big sister, if you like it, I'll give it to you. Master said I can't master it..."
"This... this is embarrassing. I already have the Emperor Slash. I'll leave this sword to you. After all, it's your master's legacy."
However, seeing the jade that was shorter than the sword, Dashiqi finally chose to hang it around her waist: "Then I will keep it for you, and when you grow up, I will return it to you."
Xiaoyu didn't care much about it. Her wish was to become a charming female ninja, and the way of the samurai was not suitable for her.
Instead, what she cared more about was why she had so many sisters but only one eldest brother?
"Brother Emperor, are you here to save this country? Why are everyone a sister, but there is only one brother?"
Emperor Zun smiled and flicked Xiaoyu's forehead: "You will understand in the future. I promise you now that you will never go hungry again, don't you, little dog?"
Komachiyo barked in response. He felt very close to the Emperor because he was the God who responded to his wishes.
Its wish is to wake Xiaoyu up and never go hungry again.
"Really? Brother Emperor, can I help you? I can make glutinous rice balls, and animals that eat them will listen to me. The same goes for Komachiyo..."
As she spoke, Xiaoyu pinched a small glutinous rice ball from her face, but this could not fill her stomach and would consume her energy.
"This is! The power of a devil fruit!" Nami was shocked. She didn't expect that Xiaoyu could become a user of special abilities at such a young age. Could it be that she was fed an artificial devil fruit by Kaido's men?
At this point, everyone's disgust towards Kaido increased a bit.
