Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 137: Wano Country Entrusts Squad 11 for Protection! (Fourth Update, Seeking Subscriptions!)

Keep this man here!

This is what Jutianmaru has been thinking about, the thing they should do the most!

He's strong, really strong!

Although I don't know how he compares to Kaido, he is definitely a major trump card for our side!

Now that one of the Three Calamities, the "Plague Calamity" Queen, has been killed, the next one to come is Doro!

Although Kaido is currently out and his whereabouts are unknown, Wano Country is very closed off, making it difficult for information to spread...

But sooner or later, Kaido will realize the problem and come back to kill!

He is very self-aware - relying solely on Wano Country, it is absolutely impossible to stop the man known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air.

FFLX...

"We need Kenpachi!" Jutianmaru's mind is determined.

They absolutely cannot afford to be without such an ally right now.

For this, even if it means paying any price, it is negotiable!

...

Jutianmaru subconsciously glanced at Kozuki Hiyori. Although she is only 13 or 14 years old, as the daughter of his lord, Kozuki Hiyori has a beautiful face and a graceful figure.

Even though she may appear a bit immature, she has a remarkable charm.

In fact, it is evident that Jutianmaru's taste is quite good. Kozuki Hiyori is known as the number one beauty in Wano Country and is officially recognized as one of the top three beauties in the pirate world, alongside Hancock and Shirahoshi.

"If it's Princess-sama, maybe she can tie down Zaraki Kenpachi!" Jutianmaru thought to himself.

Although it may be a bit embarrassing for his lord to offer herself to someone, Jutianmaru doesn't mind.

Women, sooner or later, will get married and have children.

It's normal for his lord to be with Zaraki Kenpachi!

That kind of extraordinary warrior can definitely give birth to exceptionally talented offspring, which would be Wano Country's fortune!

As for the issue of Kozuki Hiyori's young age...

Heh, is that even a problem?

Jutianmaru's lord, Kozuki Oden, was only fifteen when he threatened the temple's abbot, abducted women every night to serve as his harem, used his charm to conquer them, and then caused public dissatisfaction, leading to the "Harem Rebellion."

Age is just a trivial matter!

Kozuki Hiyori is very mature for her age, so she naturally understands the implications behind Jutianmaru's words.

Including the meaning behind Jutianmaru looking at her later, she is well aware of it.

AB...

Kozuki Hiyori smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Jutianmaru, can you imagine a man like Zaraki Kenpachi being tied down by a woman?"

"I, I can't imagine such a scene at all!"

Putting aside the issue of emotions, she can't even imagine that scene.

Zaraki Kenpachi being tied down by a woman?

How is that possible!

Jutianmaru was stunned by her words, then smiled bitterly.

Yes, such a scene is truly unimaginable.

He can imagine Zaraki Kenpachi laughing maniacally while killing a woman, but he can't imagine that man gently embracing a woman.

This art style is completely off!

Speaking of that battle maniac, is he really interested in women?

He seems more interested in killing women...

The two locked eyes and chuckled.

After a moment of silence, Kozuki Hiyori spoke up: "Actually, it might not be impossible to keep Kenpachi..."

"Hmm?" Zaraki Kenpachi was taken aback.

Zaraki Kenpachi is always easy to find, especially when there are no strong enemies around.

He just casually lies around in the dormitory, or as he calls it, the "team dormitory."

"Hmm?" Zaraki Kenpachi looked up. "What's up, Hachimaru?"

"Oh, nothing," Kozuki Hiyori smiled slightly and sat down next to him. "I suddenly became curious about the Gotei 13."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"Oh?" Zaraki Kenpachi tilted his head, but still said, "The Gotei 13 is one of the most important parts of Soul Society. Its goal is to protect the safety of Seireitei, so it's called the 'Gotei 13'."

"The original Gotei 13 was a group of assassins founded by an old man. Later, they took over from the Zero Division and began guarding the safety of Seireitei and maintaining the order between Soul Society and the living world."

He didn't care much and casually mentioned some information about the Gotei 13.

Occasionally, he would mix in some lines like, "The captain of the Fifth Division is strong, I want to fight him again," or "Byakuya always acts like a noble, I want to find a chance to fight him," or "Tousen's Zanpakutō ability is troublesome, it seals the sense of hearing, which is really annoying to fight against." These were typical Kenpachi-style lines.

In reality, with those strange lines mixed in, it would be quite troublesome for outsiders to listen to, as he would jump from one topic to another.

However, Kozuki Hiyori didn't mind. She just sat there with a smile, quietly listening to Kenpachi's words.

After a while, Kozuki Hiyori said, "Kenpachi, does your Gotei 13 mind taking on commissions from others?"

"Commissions?" Zaraki Kenpachi was puzzled and asked.

"Yeah," Kozuki Hiyori nodded heavily. "Wano Country wants to hire the Eleventh Division to protect its territory from invasion."

"Hire us?" Zaraki Kenpachi was surprised. "What about your samurai?"

"Those samurai have long ceased to be what they used to be after years of oppression," Kozuki Hiyori smiled. "I think the 430th country and Wano Country would agree to let you recruit people in Wano Country and join the Eleventh Division."

Every time she spoke, she emphasized Wano Country.

It sounded as if Wano Country was a person, and she was negotiating with Zaraki Kenpachi on behalf of Wano Country.

"That's what I want!" Zhao Xu squinted his eyes.

Just killing enemies?

That's what Zaraki Kenpachi wants, not what Zhao Xu wants!

Wano Country has a superior geographical environment and abundant resources, and it is also the only place where seastone is produced.

By taking on the role of the "protector" of Wano Country, Zaraki Kenpachi can gain certain rights. That is his goal!

Just fighting?

Why not just kill Kurozumi Orochi and the others directly?

He had to go to the side of the thieves and follow Kozuki Hiyori's instructions to gather the thieves, just to let Kozuki Hiyori take control of Wano Country's power, while he could subtly control Wano Country.

That's what Zhao Xu wants to gain from all this!

So...

"It seems that the captain has the right to choose his team members, so expanding the Eleventh Division seems reasonable, right?" Zaraki Kenpachi rubbed his chin and said.

"Then let's do it."

"Yeah!" Kozuki Hiyori nodded happily.
