Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Nami and Kuina’s Trip to Wano Country (3)
just couldn’t relax.
Last time, the Straw Hat Pirates and the others had "talked" Yamato into joining them, then launched an attack on the Beasts Pirates together.
Even though they couldn’t defeat the Beasts Pirates in the end, their fight had destroyed the Flower Capital.
In Wano Country, you could destroy other places, but not the Flower Capital. They still needed that land to harvest resources from Wano.
Now there were two more unfamiliar women by Yamato’s side, and couldn’t sit still anymore. He told Jack to watch over the quarry.
Then he immediately headed for the Flower Capital.
These days, the quarry held far more prisoners than before. Other than the Straw Hat Pirates, who had been rescued by the Red-Haired Pirates, the Kid Pirates, the Heart Pirates, and the remaining retainers of the Kozuki clan had all been locked up here.
Especially the Kozuki retainers—this time they had followed the Straw Hats to rebel against Kaido, but in the end, they had all been exposed and captured.
Now they were utterly miserable.
The Kozuki clan’s last remaining forces had all been revealed. With three Supernova pirate crews on their side, they had thought this time they could surely overthrow Kaido’s rule.
Even if they couldn’t topple him completely, they thought they could at least take some land in Wano.
But who could have guessed—these Supernovas had only just learned Ryuo Haki. Two of the three captains had Conqueror’s Haki, but their control over it was terrible.
In the end, the Beasts Pirates wiped them all out and threw them into the quarry.
Now in the Udon quarry, whenever the Kid Pirates, the Heart Pirates, and the Kozuki retainers ran into each other, it was painfully awkward.
```
After handing the quarry over to Jack, led a group of pirates straight to the Flower Capital and went directly to Yamato.
When and his men showed up, the people in the city scattered at once.
"Huh?" Yamato looked at in surprise, a puzzled look on her face. "Uncle , how did you find this place?"
walked toward her with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on Nami and Kuina, who were standing nearby. "Young Master Yamato, I came to see how you’ve been doing lately. By the way, who are these two young ladies?"
As he spoke, studied Nami and Kuina carefully, secretly guessing their identities while staying on high alert.
Nami and Kuina stayed calm and relaxed. They knew Kaido and King weren’t in Wano right now.
Without Kaido and King, the Beasts Pirates couldn’t stop the two of them if they decided to leave.
Just then, when asked the question, Yamato suddenly seemed to remember something.
She slapped her forehead. "Oh, right! Ah, sorry, Uncle . I’ve been so busy hanging out with them that I still don’t even know their names. Hehe..."
Scratching her head, she turned to Nami and Kuina with a curious smile. "Come on, tell me—what are your names?"
At that moment, and every pirate he had brought with him froze in shock, their eyes wide and mouths hanging open, like they’d been hit with a freeze spell.
They couldn’t believe what they’d just heard. Yamato didn’t even know their names, yet she was already this close with them—wandering the Flower Capital together and trying out all kinds of food?
That was unbelievable!
Nami and Kuina, however, were already used to Yamato’s personality after spending so much time with her.
This strong-looking woman could sometimes be a little silly.
With a bright smile, Nami cheerfully said,
"I’m Nami! And this beautiful swordswoman next to me is Kuina!
Hehehe... Yamato, I’ve really started to enjoy being with you. Why don’t you come with us when we leave Wano Country?"
Just then, suddenly shouted in surprise. "What?! You’re Nami and Kuina from the Dream Exploration Team?"
His face was full of shock, and he quickly shifted into a defensive stance. The nearby pirates, who had been a little relaxed, immediately tensed up and surrounded them.
Nami and Kuina ignored ’s move, but Kuina rested her hand on the hilt of Wado Ichimonji.
"Nami?"
"Kuina?"
"Dream Exploration Team... that name sounds kind of familiar..." Yamato stood there, completely calm despite and his crew’s sudden change in attitude, as if nothing around her could shake her.
She frowned slightly, her long, slender brows drawing together as she searched her memory for anything about the Dream Exploration Team.
"How strange—you’ve never heard of us?" Nami said with a hint of surprise. She couldn’t believe that this strong woman had no idea about the famous Dream Exploration Team.
You know, she’s Kaido’s daughter!
"I just remembered!"
At that moment, Yamato suddenly thought of something important and jumped up with excitement.
As she moved, her graceful figure and proud curves bounced with energy and charm.
"Luffy once told me the Dream Expedition Group is really scary! Your captain is called Ryuen, and he’s an incredibly strong man. Even Luffy once lost to him and got beaten!
And I also heard you built the biggest orphanage in the world, taking in countless homeless children from the seas and giving them a warm home!"
Now, Yamato had finally pieced together her memories of the Dream Expedition Group buried deep in her mind.
"Hahaha!"
"So you’re pretty close with Luffy. I can’t believe he even told you about his embarrassing moments."
Nami laughed. Back in the Sabaody Archipelago, Ryuen had given Luffy quite the beating.
"Of course! I’m really close with Luffy, and also with his brother Ace!" Yamato said happily. She remembered now—not only had Luffy told her about the Dream Expedition Group, but Ace had too.
"So you know Ace as well. That guy used to be really rebellious. I hear he’s matured a lot now," Nami said, remembering things about Ace.
"Hey!"
"So what exactly brings you to Wano Country?"
"With the seas in such a tense state right now, don’t tell me you’re here for sightseeing!"
Quenn didn’t let his guard down just because Nami knew Kuina and Yamato.
