Chapter 411: Arrival in the Land of Wano
Moments later, Feng Ye, seated on a sofa, stared into the void, his gaze piercing through space as he observed the situation on Kuja Island. His eyes briefly widened in surprise.
Hancock had consumed the Mero Mero no Mi.
The moment she ate the Devil Fruit, her aura changed once more.
First, it was the awakening of her King's Haki, followed by the enhancement of her allure due to the fruit's power. These two rapid changes occurring in quick succession transformed Hancock dramatically from her previous self.
At the age of thirteen, the allure that Hancock exuded at this moment was breathtaking, surpassing any woman Feng Ye had ever laid eyes on.
Even her youthful innocence at thirteen years old was transformed by the power of the Mero Mero no Mi into an even more captivating allure! In this moment, Hancock possessed an allure that could captivate people of all ages. Even those who preferred more mature women would find themselves unable to resist the charm of Hancock, who had awakened her King's Haki and eaten the Mero Mero no Mi. Hancock's two younger sisters were also breathless due to their sister's transformation.
"Such allure..." Feng Ye murmured to himself as he recovered from his brief surprise, stroking his chin. "It seems to have surpassed mine by a slight margin."
If allure could be quantified into data, Hancock would have exceeded the maximum value of 100 points and reached 105 or even 110 points.
However, Feng Ye did not feel a sense of regret at being surpassed. In his opinion, men did not need such high levels of allure, so it was only natural for Hancock to exceed him by a small amount.
"What are you looking at, Captain?" Robin, sitting across from Feng Ye, asked softly. Her small hand rested on her chin as she had put down the book she was reading at some point.
She had heard Feng Ye's words, and a faint, unnatural blush dusted her cheeks. This was the first time she had heard Feng Ye comment on her allure.
Although she was only twelve years old, such an evaluation from Feng Ye made her heart flutter.
"It seems like you've grown a bit, Robin," Feng Ye said, realizing that his gaze had been directed at her. He chuckled as he recalled his line of sight and words, "You seem to be paying close attention to my body."
Robin blinked, and the blush on her face faded, replaced by a mischievous smile as she teased him, "Yes, you're very observant of my body."
Feng Ye was left speechless for a moment. His perfectly normal evaluation had somehow taken an awkward turn.
Indeed, Robin had grown and matured, not just physically but also mentally, developing a more mischievous and calm demeanor. Looking at her now, one could already envision the woman she would become.
"We should be approaching the Land of Wano soon," Feng Ye said, withdrawing his gaze. He glanced at the recording pointer on his wrist and then turned to look out the porthole at the vast ocean beyond.
After half a month of traveling, the ship was nearing the Land of Wano.
The Land of Wano was the only country in this world that resembled the world of ninjas, with the existence of samurai and ninjas. Hence, it was a destination that Feng Ye had always intended to visit.
Moreover, the crucial factor that drew him to this place was the presence of Toki, the wife of Momonosuke Kozuki, who possessed the power of the Toki Toki no Mi, allowing her to travel through time into the future.
This was a power that even Feng Ye had not yet mastered.
While he was uncertain about the abilities of other time-related Devil Fruits, the capabilities of the Toki Toki no Mi would undoubtedly be of use to him. Thus, he had to, at the very least, visit the Land of Wano, glimpse into the future, and ultimately acquire that fruit.
The Land of Wano is a country with a unique terrain; it sits atop an elevated landscape, encircled by waterfalls on all sides, making it inaccessible to ordinary ships.
Only by pulling boats with gigantic koi from specific locations can one ascend the waterfalls and enter the Land of Wano, hence the scarcity of ships that venture here.
This nation is in a state of complete seclusion.
As a non-member country of the World Government, its isolation is further exacerbated, and due to past incidents where news birds were shot down, they no longer visit this country.
Consequently, the people of the Land of Wano are oblivious to the outside world.
"This is... the Land of Wano..."
"The country that created those historical text stones..."
Robin stood on the deck with Feng Ye, gazing up at the surrounding waterfalls that marked the country's periphery. She murmured, her eyes trailing upwards.
With her knowledge of history, there were few countries that piqued her interest, and the Land of Wano was one of them.
Whoosh!
Feng Ye casually waved his hand, and the power of Uryu pulled the entire ship, bypassing the waterfall and ascending from below. Soon, they reached the top and landed on the outer coast of the Land of Wano.
A gleam of azure shone in Feng Ye's eyes as he briefly surveyed the entire Land of Wano before retracting his gaze. He then maneuvered the ship to dock at the coast.
"Shall we go, Robin?"
"Let's begin our journey."
He smiled faintly and stepped off the ship onto the shore.
Robin followed Feng Ye onto the land. Having learned about the Land of Wano from him, she asked, "Should we pay a 'visit' to Kaido of the Hundred Beasts first, Mr. Feng Ye?"
Even when mentioning Kaido of the Hundred Beasts, a name that struck fear into countless hearts, Robin remained calm, knowing that no one could compare to Feng Ye—not the World Government, not Whitebeard, and not even Kaido.
"No, we don't need to concern ourselves with him."
Feng Ye wasn't particularly interested in Kaido. He shook his head and chuckled, "Let's go to the Flower Capital first. It's the king's castle in this country, and there are some interesting places to see there."
Robin nodded gently.
The two set off into the interior of the Land of Wano, disappearing from the coast.
...
At the same time, deep within the Land of Wano, on Onigashima.
Kaido of the Hundred Beasts sat in a chair, his right hand clenched into a fist, propping up his chin as he slept with his eyes closed and his breathing steady.
Suddenly, his body twitched as if he had a nightmare, and his fist, which was propping up his chin, tilted, causing his head to slam onto the table, jolting him awake.
"Ugh..."
"To have a nightmare..."
Kaido sat up straight, ruffling his hair. He yawned and wondered, "Was it because of the poor quality of yesterday's alcohol? Hey! Someone! Bring me some alcohol! Tell that Big Mom's son to prepare some good wine for me!"
"Yes! Boss Kaido!"
A member of the Beast Pirates immediately responded and rushed off.
