Chapter 606 His intentions towards you are absolutely good.
I like how you look now.
Roman gazed at the sun and spoke softly.
"Really? Thank you. Actually, I like it better the way it is now."
Hiyori has taken off her complicated and luxurious kimono, and removed all the hairpins and jewelry from her head.
She was dressed simply, with only two small pink flowers on her head.
The striking visual appeal of the red and green combination creates a unique aesthetic.
really beautiful.
"This simple style suits you better. You don't need such complicated decorations. They're just a burden for you."
Given Hiyori's appearance, overly ornate decorations are actually unnecessary.
"Wano Country is still very poor. As the daughter of a samurai, how can I be too extravagant?"
She had already packed up all her clothes and jewelry from her time as a geisha.
They're just waiting to convert the money into cash and give it to those who need it more.
"It really feels like a dream. I still can't believe it's real. I really don't know how to thank you. But are you really alright? Your face, and your body..."
At that moment, before closing her eyes, Hiyori kept wondering whether she would feel hope or despair when she opened them again.
She had considered the worst-case scenario.
But Ah Long had already endured so much for her, so whatever the outcome, she accepted it with equanimity.
But to her surprise, she was startled when she opened her eyes.
Ah Long and Yamato appeared before her, both covered in blood.
His appearance was miserable.
However, they all looked relaxed.
Hiyori still remembers the first thing they said to her when she regained consciousness: "We won."
Hiyori will never forget those words.
"It's alright, I'll recover soon. In fact, I think I've already gained something by paying this price to defeat Kaido. I've also gained more power because of it, so it's a win-win situation."
Roman didn't care about the injuries to his face.
Winning this battle would be the best-case scenario for her.
These days, being able to stand properly is already a great blessing.
"This is incredible! You're like a savior who appeared out of nowhere. You're not really a dragon, are you?!"
"I didn't expect you to be so humorous, Hiyori."
Dragon.
Greedy creatures.
No profit can not afford to be early.
They relentlessly plunder people's wealth simply because they like objects that emit light.
If that's the reason, then there's nothing wrong with calling yourself a dragon.
It shares almost the same essence as her.
"So, have you decided to become a general, Hiyori?"
“I don’t think I’m qualified for that position… but I want to do my best to do it well.”
Hiyori initially had no ambition to become shogun.
After all, she didn't grow up as an heir.
In fact, from childhood to adulthood, her life had nothing to do with being a princess.
For someone like me to want to become a general or a leader of a country sounds like a pipe dream.
She lacked experience and support.
Perhaps Denjiro and the old guard of the Kozuki clan can still help her.
But can I really do it?
However, this idea quickly faded away.
The situation is much better than I expected.
This was something that Arlong and Yamato helped him achieve.
They have helped themselves accomplish even more horrific things.
What reason do I have to back down?
It's not that I'm unwilling to become a general and lead Wano Country.
Hiyori knew that she was just scared.
I'm afraid I can't do it.
But she wanted to do it.
This is the voice of her heart.
She wanted the country to prosper and become strong.
"Although it's a difficult thing, I will do it well."
Hiyori's eyes were full of hope.
It was a difficult road ahead, but she would walk it steadily.
"If you're worried about difficulties, I can still help you."
"That's enough, I..."
"Don't worry, I'm only helping you indirectly. Governing a country isn't my expertise. However, there is another expert in governance in Wano Country."
"What? Arlong, are you talking about... the nobles of Wano Country? If it's them, they might not help me."
Although she was the daughter of the Kozuki clan, in their eyes she was just a little girl.
The nobles might not give her any face.
It would be good enough if they didn't cause any trouble.
"Although you have never met this person, rest assured, he has absolutely good intentions towards you."
