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

"Ah sneeze!!"

On the other side, Yakumo Shiroqing, who was walking slowly out of his room, couldn't help but sneeze.

"Strange, who is saying bad things about me behind my back? Logically speaking, I took in an orphan and a widow out of kindness, so good things should be rewarded... As expected, metaphysics cannot be trusted!"

The cold expression just now quickly melted away, and Yakumo Bai returned to his original lazy and frivolous self. He reached out and patted Maria who was standing outside the door, and asked casually,

"How's it going, Maria, how's the finishing work going?"

“Yes, Master Yakumo.

Similar to what has been done, a large number of people have been sent to various parts of Wano Country to spread news and manipulate public opinion.

Now, we are completely tying the demise of the Kozuki family to Orochi, and our Beasts Pirates are, as always, just an external force that has no understanding of Wano's internal affairs and is only focused on development.

The guards at yesterday's execution were all Orochi's men. Aside from you going to watch the execution with Master Yamato on a whim, our Beasts Pirates were not involved at all.

Also, after you turned that...female ninja into a toy, we did some secret investigation and found that the people who were present at the time had forgotten her existence and related memories.

However, it seems that because there were too many people and events involved yesterday, their memories are a little confused. They only remember clearly that Kozuki Oden was a foolish and incompetent king who failed the people. On the contrary, they highly respect our Beasts Pirates..."

Maria told the story in her sexy, lazy voice, and from time to time she secretly glanced at Yakumo Shiro from the corner of her eyes, thinking secretly in her heart,

The young master now dresses like a scholar, and he has a kind of romantic aura like a spring breeze, gentle, elegant, and a little cynical. Although I can't hold the young master in my arms like usual, it seems like it wouldn't be bad to change the target occasionally, right?

"Maria? Hello! Maria?"

Yakumo Shiro called out in confusion, waking Maria from her daze. He pretended to stroke his hair casually, then said apologetically,

"Sorry, Master, I was distracted just now. May I ask what you just did..."

When Maria secretly looked at him just now, Yakumo Bai didn't care. After all, he was used to such looks. He just didn't expect that she would react so strongly. Logically speaking, as a woman who had been with him for many years, she should have some resistance...

"To deal with Tian Yueshi, a widow who lost her husband and child and has a strong and gentle personality, you naturally have to show an image that is strong enough, powerful, and a little cute. This way, she will feel dependent on you, but at the same time, she can show her own value and regain a sense of security without worrying about gains and losses and feeling unwilling.

Under such a pull, you will naturally sink deeper and deeper into the net until you are captured..."

Thinking about this, Yakumo Shiro reached out and took Maria's hand, then asked,

"Go on, what did the cat say? About my background?"

Feeling the familiar warmth coming from the palm of her hand, Maria breathed a sigh of relief. She was still somewhat overwhelmed by the young master's completely different temperament and equally outstanding appearance. If she continued like that, she might do something impulsive!

"I just don't know what to say now..."

Throwing aside the bold and terrible thoughts in her mind, Maria tried to calm herself down, exhaled a few deep breaths, and finally said seriously,

"About this, Master Yakumo, the cat said that you have to go see him in person before he can tell you...

But if you ask me, Master, you might as well just turn him into a toy, and then he will reveal all his secrets!"

Thinking of Cat Viper's arrogant request, Maria said angrily.

"Well, is that so? He will only tell me if I go there in person?"

Yakumo Shiro put his finger on his chin and thought for a moment, then decided, "In that case, let's go meet him. I want to know what secrets he can reveal.

As for turning it into a toy? That would be the last resort. After all, even if it is a toy, I have to see if it suits my taste. A cute furry cat will naturally be favored, but a cat viper is not even close to that......"

------------

A moment later, in a hidden room somewhere in Huadu.

After Cat Viper woke up, his memory of yesterday was also in chaos, but what happened in the Kozuki family was extremely clear.

Even though he was extremely sad and surprised that he was rescued by the Beasts Pirates, he had to get out as soon as possible. Before he fell down yesterday, Lord Toki also fell into a coma. He had to confirm the Lord's condition as soon as possible!

However, after seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox Fur Tribe in front of him, Cat Viper was immediately shocked. Isn't this the disaster star from the past? Why is he mixed up with the Beasts Pirates?

To be honest, the Beasts Pirates have been doing really well in Wano Country over the years. From the perspective of ordinary people, even though it was Orochi who introduced them to Wano Country, they have been focusing on their own business and have done many good things for the people.

But this did not affect Cat Viper's prejudice. In his opinion, the Beasts Pirates and Orochi were in cahoots, which led to the Kozuki family's fate. But he didn't understand what happened after he fainted yesterday? Why did the other party save him?

"Cat Viper, right? I'm sorry about what happened to the Kozuki family, but I only care about one thing now, about the Nine-Tailed Fox, about my affairs, how much do you know?"

Sitting opposite Cat Viper, Yakumo Shiro stared at the other party with scorching eyes, with a faint light flickering in his red and blue eyes.

"Stop being so hypocritical! Nine-tailed brat from the Beasts Pirates, I don't know where you got this information from, but if you saved me just to ask this? Then with all due respect, I have no comment!"

Sensing the strong hostility in the other party's words, Yakumo Bai was not annoyed, but just said calmly,

"Haha~ It seems that you are worthy of being Kozuki Oden's retainers, equally stupid!

Just because we passed through Orochi and came to Wano Country, you lump us together with that idiot?

Preconceived prejudices can be fatal! Kozuki Oden is like this, and so are you.

We have a deal with Orochi, but it is just a deal, because he paid enough, but you insisted on doing it! Do you know what price Orochi paid to ask Kaido to help? "

Yakumo Shiro smiled lightly and raised a finger, saying in a teasing tone,

"Half of the mining rights for the seastone ore in Wano Country! I think you should know what this means, right? It's almost equivalent to controlling half of Wano Country!"

At this point, Yakumo Shiro sighed with some regret.

"Alas... Actually, our admiral didn't want to help. After all, we are here to build and reap profits. We don't want to get involved in local political disputes. But, Orochi offered too much! It's really hard to refuse!"

"What nonsense! The Kozuki family is the legitimate family of Wano Country, and Lord Oden is the legitimate general! If you didn't have evil ambitions, why would you cooperate with that guy Orochi? You want to seize this country!"

Cat Viper shouted indignantly.

"Of course, cooperation is naturally more reliable with the official, but not to mention that Orochi is a general recognized by Kozuki Sukiyaki, but when we came here, we didn't see Kozuki Oden, right?

Where was he at that time? Oh! I remember now! He must have gone out to sea for adventure!

It’s great! I don’t have to worry about state affairs, nor do I have to listen to the nagging of the people below. I can focus on pursuing my dreams and go on a trip whenever I want. It’s really nice!”

Yakumo Shiro seemed to be speaking in an approving manner, but Cat Viper could see the sarcasm and disdain in the other's playful eyes. He was not approving of Oden at all, he was clearly mocking him!

"Snapped!"

Cat Viper immediately slammed the table and said angrily,

"Enough! Stop slandering Lord Oden! If you must know the answer to the question, then you must answer my question first! What happened to the Kozuki family last night! How is Lord Amatsuki Toki?"

Cat Viper was certain that this nine-tailed imp would definitely stop at nothing to learn about his life experience, but this was also his bargaining chip. Maybe he could even use the other party in return. It all depended on what price the other party was willing to pay!

However, to Cat Viper's surprise, the other party's face suddenly calmed down, and he leaned lazily on the chair, looked at him with a bit of boredom and impatience and said,

"He's just a prisoner, but he's taking advantage of me! As expected, I can't do interrogation on a man at all!

Alas... Maria's advice was the most useful in the end!"

As he said that, Yakumo Shiro flashed in front of Cat Viper, and the seriously injured Cat Viper was naturally turned into a puppet without any resistance - a fat cat with bared teeth and a bloated body.

"Okay, now, I ask you questions!"
