Chapter 197 Returning to Wano Country
Luo Tian and his group were having breakfast at the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Yamato finally arrived in Wano Country.
She took a deep breath, feeling the atmosphere emanating from this familiar yet unfamiliar land.
Childhood memories flooded her mind, leading her toward Ghost Island.
Yamato walked cautiously through the streets of Wano Country, her hood completely concealing her face, afraid of being recognized by the Beasts Pirates' subordinates.
Nevertheless, she could still see the current dire state of the country.
Wano Country was once a prosperous nation, but now it has fallen into an abyss of poverty, famine, and fear.
Although Kaido can no longer use SMILE to strip people of their emotions, his violent suppression has plunged the people into misery.
Seeing the sorrow and despair on people's faces, Yamato felt a pang of sadness.
She knew that all of this was caused by her father, Kaido.
Kaido not only implemented slavery, but also wantonly polluted the environment and destroyed traditional culture, causing the residents of Wano Country to lose their dignity and hope.
Yamato couldn't help but recall the beatings and scoldings Kaido had given him when he was a child.
Now, witnessing the devastation in Wano Country firsthand, the pain in her heart intensifies.
She could not accept her father's actions, nor could she forgive him for the disaster he had brought to the country.
As Yamato gazed upon the appalling scene in Wano Country, a wave of anxiety washed over her, and she quickened her pace involuntarily.
She had only one thought in her mind: to solve the root of the problem as soon as possible—Kaido.
However, Yamato also understood that simply defeating Kaido would not completely change Wano Country's current predicament.
This country has suffered too much and needs more effort and time to rebuild.
Yamato rushed to Onigashima, the base of the Beasts Pirates.
Upon entering Ghost Island, she immediately sensed a tense atmosphere.
Kaido is furious because Jack has gone missing.
As one of Kaido's most trusted subordinates, Jack's disappearance greatly angered Kaido.
Queen and King stood in front of Kaido, silently listening to his roar.
After Kaido's anger subsided slightly, he ordered King to find Jack and bring him back, dead or alive.
After accepting the order, Jin felt a sense of doubt.
He felt something was amiss, because with Jack's strength, even if he encountered a powerful enemy, he shouldn't have disappeared without a trace.
Moreover, even if Jack is defeated, the other side can't do anything to him.
After all, Jack is Kaido's man, and one of the three calamities of the Beasts Pirates, as well as a senior member. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to easily lay a hand on him, let alone kill him.
"Could it be the Navy? But the Navy has just gone through a war, and they should have neither the will nor the ability to deal with matters in the New World now."
As Jin pondered this, he turned and left the place to find Jack.
Just as he turned around, a white-haired figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, Jin realized it was Yamato.
Moreover, Yamato had already shed his disguise and revealed his true form, still clutching the spiked club tightly in his hand.
"Young Master Yamato?!"
Jin couldn't help but exclaim, utterly surprised by Yamato's sudden appearance.
However, in just a moment, a thought flashed through Jin's mind—Yamato had already joined Luo Tian and his group.
But now, only Yamato is here, which makes Jin suspicious.
Immediately, King activated his Observation Haki, trying to sense if there were any other people around.
However, to his surprise, his Observation Haki yielded nothing, and there seemed to be no other hidden enemies around.
Jin's gaze returned to Yamato, and he asked in confusion.
"Young Master Yamato, what brings you here?"
Yamato replied, "I'm here to fight Kaido. I'm alone. Luo Tian and the others aren't here, so you don't need to look for them."
Jin remained silent, slowly withdrawing his Observation Haki.
However, his silence did not last long.
Although Jin didn't know what Yamato was thinking at that moment, he still stepped aside without hesitation, making way for Yamato.
Yamato looked at King, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but without hesitation, she walked towards Kaido.
Kaido is Yamato's father; after all, he is just a subordinate.
He knew his identity and responsibilities, so he did not interfere too much with Yamato's actions.
Moreover, he still had a mission assigned by Kaido to complete, so he didn't pay any attention to Yamato.
Yamato went inside, and when she finally saw Kaido, Kaido's surprise was palpable.
However, unlike King, Kaido didn't think too much about the reason for Yamato's arrival. He was simply surprised and curious, not understanding why Yamato would suddenly appear here.
Kaido sat in a chair, his hand supporting his head, his gaze fixed on Yamato, and slowly asked.
"My child, why are you looking for me? Shouldn't you be with Luo Tian? Are you here to inherit the position of Shogun of Wano Country?"
Upon hearing Kaido's words, Yamato's anger was instantly ignited.
She glared at Kaido with wide eyes and demanded an answer in a sharp voice.
"When have you ever treated me like your daughter? From childhood to adulthood, all you've done for me is imprisonment, oppression, and abuse! You don't treat me like a human being at all, but only as a tool to achieve your ambitions!"
Kaido did not get angry when faced with Yamato's questioning; his face remained completely expressionless.
He simply looked at Yamato quietly and said calmly.
"Because you are my child, you should follow my choices. This is your destiny and your responsibility."
After hearing Kaido's words, Yamato's anger became even more uncontrollable.
She could not accept this fate, nor could she tolerate Kaido's indifference and neglect towards her.
She felt she had had enough and it was time to settle things once and for all with Kaido.
Without hesitation, Yamato picked up her spiked club and charged at Kaido with all her might.
"So, have you come here to challenge me?"
"Interesting. Then let me see if your strength has improved in the years you've been gone, my child!"
Kaido stood up, picked up the spiked club beside him, and prepared to respond to Yamato's attack.
