Chapter 248: The Agreement between Kavi and Ayu

"Yamato, your future will be more exciting than Kozuki Oden, and there is no need for you to yearn for him."

Kavi said as he looked at Yamato who kept asking questions.

"You're probably waiting for Ace, right?"

"!?"

Yamato was stunned when he heard this. His eyes froze for a moment, and his lips trembled slightly, "How... do you know?"

As he spoke, tears began to flow unconsciously as Yamato recalled what had happened before.

Ace came to Wano Country. One was the son of Pirate King Roger, and the other was the daughter of Four Emperors Kaido. A war broke out between the two when they met.

As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. After Ace heard about Yamato's experience, the two became good friends.

And they agreed that the next time Ace came, Yamato would go out to sea with Ace to see this magnificent world.

But, going back to two years ago, Ace's life card began to dissipate. She didn't know what happened, but she understood that Ace must have encountered a huge crisis.

As a friend with whom she had made an agreement, she was unable to help at all. She could only hold the life card and pray continuously, hoping that Ace could get through the difficult times.

However, things don't always go as expected, and Ace's life card is gone...

As a result, she wanted to become Kozuki Oden even more and found the country of Wano.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Kavi looked at Yamato who was crying, and didn't understand why she was crying. Wasn't it because Ace hadn't come to the appointment for so long?

"Ace has a lot of things to deal with, so he doesn't have time to come to Wano Country. He won't break his promise. I guess he will come to Wano Country to keep his promise soon..."

Kavi spoke to himself, completely ignoring the change in Yamato's expression.

"What do you mean?"

Yamato wiped his tears and asked in confusion.

Isn't Ace dead? How could he come to Wano Country again?

"What what do you mean?" Now it was Kavi's turn to be confused.

"Isn't Ace dead? Why is he here in Wano Country?"

Yamato continued to ask with a wise look in his eyes.

"My goodness, you don't read anything other than Kozuki Oden's diary!"

Kavi covered his forehead helplessly. If Yamato wanted to read some news, he would not be completely ignorant.

"Ace is not dead, he is alive and well." Kavi glanced at Yamato and said.

"What?! Ace is not dead! But his life cards are all burned!"

Yamato was a little excited and shook Kavi's body with both hands, as if he wanted to get an explanation from Kavi.

"Don't get excited. Ace was indeed on the verge of death, but he was not completely dead. I saved him."

Kavi patted Yamato's shoulder to calm her down, then slowly told her about Ace's situation.

After a moment, Kavi finished speaking and Yamato was stunned.

"So Ace is not dead! That's great!"

Yamato cried again, but this time it was with joy.

Kavi was in a good mood seeing this, and nodded with satisfaction at Yamato.

One is the son of Roger and the other is the daughter of Kaido, which is considered a good match.

The two have such a deep bond that Kavi thinks that next time Ace comes to Wano Country, he can take Yamato with him.

Yamato's strength and potential are definitely top-notch. Joining the Whitebeard Pirates led by Ace is a great help to Ace.

"Thank you, old man!"

Yamato bowed deeply to Kavi.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Yamato smiled adorably again.

"I was wondering how someone could beat Kaido like that. It turns out that the old man is Ace's grandfather and the father of Pirate King Roger. That makes sense!"

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Hearing this, Kavi was immediately amused.

"Yamato, you have a good eye! I am Roger's godfather!"

Kavi directly gave Yamato a thumbs up. Although this girl was a little fierce, Kavi recognized her just based on this sentence!

Then the two had a deep communication, and Kavi used the charm of language to fool Yamato.

Yamato felt that the faith he had held since childhood had collapsed. His body trembled slightly and his lips turned pale.

"So... the reason I'm like this is because I'm too inexperienced?"

"Hahaha, it's okay Yamato, you will be able to see this magnificent world soon. I believe your adventure will be more exciting than Kozuki Oden's!"

Everything Kavi said before was to help Yamato get rid of the shadow of Kozuki Oden.

Although it is almost impossible to change Yamato's impression of Kozuki Oden over the years in just a few words, he only needs to leave a suspense.

When Yamato truly sees the outside world, she will definitely understand that she never wanted to be Kozuki Oden.

Then Kavi reached out, took the seastone chain from Yamato, and squeezed it gently.

With a "click", the chain broke into sections and fell down one by one.

"Kaido is really something. Why would he tie up his own daughter?"

“Eh!” Yamato was stunned.

"I should go now. You wait here for Ace."

Kavi has left, and as for the affairs of Wano Country, let the protagonist alliance handle it.

Kaido's injuries should be fully recovered before the protagonists arrive, so Kavi doesn't have to worry that Kaido will not be able to force Nika out.

Then Kavi came to the Bian Li Village and met with A Yu to stop her from worrying.

Kavi, Ayu, and Kozuki Sukiyaki talked for a long time.

Ayu was finally persuaded by Kavi and Kozuki Sukiyaki and agreed to their request.

Seeing this, Kavi smiled with satisfaction and rubbed Ayu's face back and forth with his big hands.

"Ayu, grandpa was right about you!"

Kozuki Sukiyaki on the side looked at the two of them, wondering what expression was behind the mask.

He had always hoped that the samurai of the Kozuki family could overthrow the rule of Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi and return Wano Country to the hands of the Kozuki family.

But Kavi's words made him give up this idea. More than 20 years of forbearance made him realize that forbearance alone could not save Wano Country.

Wano Country does not belong to the Kozuki family, but to the entire people of Wano Country. As long as Wano Country can be governed well, it doesn't matter who becomes the general.

Kozuki Sukiyaki looked at Ayu whose face was being rubbed by Kavi, and became more and more convinced of Kavi's idea.

Although he may not be able to serve as the general of Wano Country again, he can at least be the general's military advisor.

"Okay, Ayu, grandpa is leaving soon. If you run into any trouble, you can come to Huadu to find me."

"Yeah! Goodbye, Grandpa Kavi!"

Kavi waved goodbye to the two.

Ayu kept watching Kavi disappear, and the smile on her face slowly calmed down, replaced by a hint of nervousness and lack of confidence.

"Master, do you think I can do this?"

Hearing this, Kozuki Sukiyaki touched Ayu's head and said firmly:

"Since Lord Kavi believes in you so much, you should cheer up! During this time, I will pass on all my past experiences to you!"
