Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

After a long time of not seeing each other, Yakumo Shiro's return naturally gave Maria and others who stayed in Wano Country an unexpected surprise.

"Big brother~Welcome back!"

Like a swallow returning to its nest, the energetic Hiyori ran over in wooden clogs, and finally dived into Yakumo Shiro's arms.

"Hehe~ Hiyori, long time no see, did you miss me?"

Yakumo Bai bent down, pinched the girl's smooth and soft face, and asked with a smile.

"Yeah! Think!"

Girls always express their emotions more directly, and without any hesitation, Hiyori smiled and spoke in a sweet voice.

"And it's not just me. Mother is also waiting for big brother to come back every day!"

Hearing this, Yakumo Bai couldn't help but look up, and saw Tian Yueshi leaning against the door, looking at the scene in front of him with a smile on his face, with an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.

"hour......"

Seeing this, Yakumo Shiro was about to say a few words of greeting, but a dark shadow suddenly appeared in his sight——

"Karuqiu~~Mmmmm~ You're finally back!"

The lively and cheerful Carrot jumped up directly, and its furry body covered Yakumo Shiro's cheek, bringing a warm touch and even a faint milky fragrance.

Carrot rubbed her furry cheeks against Yakumo Shiro repeatedly, as if she wanted to leave her own scent on the other person again.

"Ugh...Garrot~be gentle! I can't breathe!"

Yakumo Bai said in a muffled voice, and at the same time stretched out his hands and tried to break free from the little rabbit's arms, but to Yakumo Bai's surprise, he seemed to have accidentally pressed on two inexplicable bulges?

"Alas!"

As if being electrocuted, Carrot's pair of rabbit ears suddenly stood up and gradually turned pink. The short white hair did not stand up very obviously, and his originally red eyes were moist like rubies.

The strange and unfamiliar feeling made Carrot quickly jump away from Yakumo Shiro, and ran behind Maria's tall body in a panic, slightly revealing half of his cheek and trying to continue observing. After seeing the other party's sudden realization, he blushed and drooped his ears, covering his eyes tightly.

"Ugh...Big fox~bad!"

"Forehead......"

Rubbing his ears awkwardly, Yakumo Bai didn't expect the little rabbit to grow up so fast. After just a while of not seeing it, it...

"Maybe it's because they are from the Fur Tribe, the little animals grow up very fast..."

Feeling the breath lingering on his fingertips, Yakumo Shiro looked at Carrot with some apology, then turned to approach Maria who was looking at him teasingly, and said in a gentle voice,

"I'm back, my Maria!"

Her eyes flashed slightly, and Maria couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that she was very pleased with the other party's title.

"Welcome home, Master!"

----Dividing line------

Three days later, after several days of decadent dinners, Yakumo Shiro finally came back to his senses from the land of pleasure and remembered his business!

"Here, this is the initial result of the plan, Black Scorpion Lady - Zeno! An awakened animal-type devil fruit user, with a physique far superior to that of an ordinary person, she is considered a high-end combat force even in the New World!"

While walking towards the prison on Onigashima, Yakumo Shiro introduced it to Maria.

With a little curiosity, Maria carefully looked at the woman next to her who had a delicate face, bold clothes and a very personal style, and then said in an inexplicable tone,

"Congratulations, Master Yakumo. It seems that you have achieved your expectations on this voyage!"

"Hehe~ Of course, and, maybe it will even exceed expectations!"

Surprisingly, the complacent Yakumo Shiro didn't seem to notice Maria's tone, and continued to ask,

"How are the arrangements for that dark-haired girl we brought from outside, Maria?"

Hearing this, Maria narrowed her eyes, quietly moved closer again, and then said,

"That girl, although she looks clumsy, after investigation, it seems that she knows a lot. She is now the temporary housekeeper of the family..."

"housekeeper?"

Yakumo Bai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that although this unlucky little fellow failed to escape, he unexpectedly got the position of a butler?

"That's strange, Maria. Isn't it usually you who takes on this kind of responsibility?"

"Hoohoo~ Master~ Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"

Maria bent down gently, held one of the boy's tails with one hand, and gently stroked Yakumo Shiro's cheek from behind with the other hand.

"If you continue to stay in this position, I'm afraid those beautiful flowers will occupy all your surroundings. How can I remain indifferent?"

The tail was suddenly held in an extremely professional manner, causing Yakumo Shiro's body to stiffen. He forced himself to endure the tingling sensation and smiled bitterly.

"How could that be? You know me, Maria. I can't help but love beauty. But even if this beautiful garden becomes more prosperous, your status will never change~"

"Oh? Really?"

Maria did not comment on Yakumo Bai's explanation, but just pinched the boy's chin and moved it a little closer to her.

"Facts speak louder than words, Master. Please let me experience for myself what my position in your heart is. You should satisfy my little willfulness, right?"

Having said that, without waiting for Yakumo Shiro to respond, Maria opened her red lips and confronted him forcefully, knocking on the door simply and roughly, and began to attack the city.

“Hmm…Hmm…”

The lingering atmosphere spread as if no one was around, and the two people who were getting into the mood had no idea that there was a slender figure that looked like a doll silently watching here.

His dark red eyes stared blankly at the two unscrupulous people in front of him, a tiny light gradually flickered, Zeno's expression was still indifferent, but something from instinct was gradually awakening, this had nothing to do with emotion or soul, it was just the biological instinct of this body!

"Is this what the Master calls love?"

————Dividing line————

Two hours later, Yakumo Shiro walked into the prison of Onigashima with a normal expression. His clothes had not changed at all. He was still wearing the loose Tang-style clothing as always. However, if one looked carefully enough through the slightly open clothes, one could still find a few conspicuous strawberries showing their presence.

"Luckily, Maria knew her limits and didn't rush to get a room. Otherwise, today's plans would have to be postponed..."

Thinking of this, Yakumo Shiro slowly approached the deepest cell, looked at the disheveled and numb figure inside, and whispered to himself,

"I've let you live for so long, it's time to contribute your final value, right? Kurotan, Orochi..."
