Chapter 80
-Yamato-sama... I hope you're okay.- Hiyori murmured looking out the window.
The two of them have known each other for 20 years. At that time Oden just died recently and Kaido started killing all the people who were related to him. Hiyori was about to be captured if not for the intervention of Yamato, who idolized Oden.
-Why did you save me?- a 6-year-old Hiyori asked with tears in her eyes.
-I'm Kozuki Oden! You are Kozuki Hiyori so you are my daughter!!! I have to protect you as a father! - said the little 8-year-old Yamato.
-...... Eh?-
After that, Yamato took her to Denjiro. She later became a Geisha and that was where she met Yamato again. Yamato told her of her desire to be free and seek her own adventure. Hiyori decided to ask why she didn't.
-I can't get out of Wano...- Yamato raises her hands and shows her the handcuffs.- These handcuffs will explode if I do... My old man sentenced me to be trapped here forever.-
Their encounters became more and more common. Although it is well known that Queen and Orochi are dying for "Komurasaki", everyone knows that Kaido's daughter is into her. Neither of them said anything and they could only watch with envy how every time Yamato came she could have a moment alone with her and she would only serve her.
Maybe Kaido doesn't treat Yamato very well, but no one would dare to disrespect her because she's Kaido's daughter.
One day Yamato came to Hiyori extremely happy.
-Today I met someone incredible!- Yamato said, lying on Hiyori's thighs.- Her name is Ace and she's incredible!-
Yamato told her how they met and fought. How they drank sake together and she promised her that one day Wano would be free and she would be free too.
-She has a brother named Luffy... She says that the day Luffy reaches Wano... He will defeat Kaido.- Yamato said with a big smile and a twinkle in her eyes.
-Are you sure?-
-Yes. Trust me, we will free Wano.- Yamato sat down and took Hiyori by the hand.- I will be free... You will be free... We will be free.-
Hiyori caught Yamato's eye and Yamato smiled at her. Then she pulled her hand and hugged her.
-We just have to wait a little more... Just a little more...-
-I trust that...- Hiyori looked out the window in silence while her fingers passed through a small dagger made of Seastone.- Wano will finally be free... That I finally... I finally will avenge the death of father and mother.-
Orochi... Kaido... Prepare yourselves. This will be your end. I won't hesitate. I won't let fear get the better of me. After all, I am Kozuki Oden's daughter too. I am also a samurai.
++++++++
When she met her, she only wanted to save her because she is daughter of Kozuki Oden, her idol.
She thought that she would not have any more encounters with her until she saw her again years later. She called herself "Komurasaki" and she was just... Beautiful.
They are so different.
Hiyori has beautiful and soft hands, Yamato has hands full of scars and calluses.
Hiyori has a sweet and gentle personality, Yamato has a more impulsive and rude personality.
Hiyori has amazing parents, Yamato has a horrible father.
Both are so different, regardless of whether it is in the physical aspect, in the internal aspect or the family relationship they have.
Fate wanted them to meet and they did.
It doesn't matter what others say. Yamato will protect Hiyori, whatever it costs her.
Hiyori is her greatest treasure. Her only treasure.
Neither her father nor anyone will take her away from her.
++++++++
Vivi ended up poisoning Big Mom with her Peacock fan when she was chasing Chopper and the others.
The poison only managed to slow Big Mom down and she took the opportunity to get them out of danger. Knowing how strong Yonkos are, she didn't expect her poison to do more than slow her down for a few seconds.
-Franky!!! Full steam ahead!!!- Vivi yells getting into the Franky vehicle mode.
-Super!!!-
They fled at full speed.
++++++++
-So... We're siblings... Huh...- Yamato scratched her head.- Wow... I never expected to have a sister... I mean, three siblings.-
-You don't have to worry too much about this. The only thing you have to know is that we are siblings and that's it. If you prefer to remain as a only child, then you will remain as a only child. After all, Kaido doesn't know and I think mama have already forgotten about this.-
-Don't get me wrong. I like the idea of having siblings, it's just that it's hard to digest the fact that the strongest of the Charlottes, that is you, are my older sister... It's not every day you find yourself in a situation like this.-
-If I'm honest. I was very surprised that Kaido is my father. Even now I asked myself how they ended up having children, especially seeing the interactions that they have during all these years.-
Yamato recalled what she heard about the times Big Mom came to Onigashima and how these meetings always end.
-I understand.- Yamato nods and looks at Luffy.- So... He's my brother-in-law?-
-..... Yeah...- Katakuri looked away.
-So... Does that make me and Ace family?- Yamato scratched her chin.
-You are right.-
-But Ace said that I'm like a daughter to her...-
-...... It's better not to think too much about it. This family is crazy enough to make your neurons explode so let's just leave it here.- Katakuri looked at Luffy, who cocked his head.
She's now part of that madness too after all.
A few brain cells would explode if she think about the relationship between Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido and Shanks. That without counting Roger, Rouge, Natsu, Zeref, Buggy, Crocodile, Mihawk, Dragon, Sengoku, Garp, etc...
Counting Kizaru and Akainu as well, if the love affair between Marco the Phoenix and Kizaru, and Kizaru and Akainu being considered siblings is true...
This family is the craziest in the fucking universe. After knowing all the family relationship that Luffy has behind him, nothing surprises Katakuri anymore.
