Chereads / One Piece: I am Imu / Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: The Oni Princess's Destiny

Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: The Oni Princess's Destiny

"I'm not sure if Shiki has submitted. After all, it's none of my business~" Garp twitched his nose and pursed his lips, then looked at the other party and said: "But I will personally take care of Wano Country. Shouldn't you retreat?"

"..." Edward Newgate fell silent.

"Garp, we can completely take care of Whitebeard together, so why let him go!" Charlotte Linlin said loudly.

"Exactly, I'm here too!" Kaido blatantly showed his presence.

"Hmph, since you two have decided to join the World Government, you must learn to obey orders. My military rank is Admiral, so you must obey me!" Garp warned unreasonably.

"You..." Charlotte Linlin and Kaido were both furious.

In fact, before Garp arrived, he received a new order from Sengoku.

The World Government asked him not to have a major conflict with Whitebeard and simply force him to retreat from Wano.

He didn't understand this order at first.

But Garp later realized that the World Government was planning to recruit Whitebeard as well.

But he was curious.

Whitebeard is different from Charlotte Linlin, Kaido and the others. Although the temptations of Dimensional Gate and other worlds are not small, it is absolutely impossible to make him obedient based on this alone.

After all, that old man isn't even interested in becoming the Pirate King. He is not an ambitious person nor does he like novelties.

"Garp, I want to know why the World Government allows these bastards to obey its orders?" Edward Newgate asked in a deep voice.

Garp smiled. "Hahahaha, don't worry, you will know sooner or later, and maybe you will become a bastard by then!"

"How delusional." Edward Newgate seemed to not want to look at any of them anymore and turned around, shouting towards his children. "Go back home!"

"Yeah!"

...

Mary Geoise, Noah's Ark.

Imu stared at the screen that showed Moby Dick turning to retreat and the dejected, lost figure of Whitebeard. A meaningful smile formed on his face. "Don't worry. We'll meet up very soon..."

On the deck of a warship, Mihawk looked at Garp, Big Mom, Kaido and King who were heading towards his location.

With a loud bang Garp fell from the sky, followed by Charlotte Linlin and others one after another.

Garp had no respect for Mihawk. Instead, he looked up and down in surprise and then threw his head back and laughed. "Bwahaha, I didn't expect that there is a guy like you among the Celestial Dragons. It's a great experience for me!"

Mihawk didn't care and greeted him more politely. "Thank you for your hard work, Admiral Garp."

Garp was shocked when he heard this. He didn't know what to say for a moment. "Uh...thank you."

"Ahem, okay, anyway, according to the order, I will stay in Wano Country for one year."

"Then I hope to learn a lot from you, Admiral Garp." Mihawk looked at Garp expectantly. This was the most powerful master in the navy. If he could compete with him every day, it would definitely help him improve his strength.

"Boy, have you already told the World Government about my matter?" At this moment, Charlotte Linlin asked.

"I have already been informed about it." Mihawk nodded and looked calmly at Big Mom. "The World Government accepts the Kingdom of Totto Land's request to join and have a seat at the Levely, but this will be officially announced after your Tea Party ends."

Hearing this, Charlotte Linlin showed a happy smile, while Garp shook his head sadly.

"In addition, although you will not be part of the Armed Forces, in accordance with the new rules of the Supreme Command of the Army."

"All those under the World Government who are recognized as having the greatest combat power will be given the rank of General and will be under the direct command of the Headquarters."

"Mamama, okay, okay, just don't annoy me too much!" Big Mom waved her hand carelessly and said: "Mama, I never thought that one day I would be a General."

Upon hearing this, she even joked by looking at Garp on the side, which made Garp feel a little irritated and clench his fists instinctively.

Mihawk continued to explain: "The title of General is only symbolic and has no corresponding power. However, you will receive a custom-made cloak of justice. You can choose between white, black or other colors."

"I like pink!"

"You can just tell the relevant departments yourself when the time comes."

Mihawk nodded and continued: "Also, if you need to, you can immediately go to the World of Kabane, but be sure to maintain complete secrecy on your journey to the Red Earth Continent."

"That's great, Mama, I want to go and see it now!" Charlotte Linlin became very excited, her eyes full of excitement. Then, she grabbed Kaido who was behind her and said: "Let's go, take me to that dimensional gate base quickly!"

"No problem!" Kaido turned into a blue dragon again. Just then, he remembered that he also had to go to Marineford, so he turned to King and said: "Do you want to come too?"

King hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I haven't seen the scenery on the Red Earth Continent for a long time." He wanted to see the place where he lived as a child.

...

When the battle came to an end, everyone dispersed. Garp followed Mihawk and Gion back to Wano Country, while Kaido, King and Big Mom headed to the Red Earth Continent together.

At the same time.

A flying warship carrying Queen departed to take him to Impel Down to join the Biochemical Research Institute on floor 5.5.

...

About a day later.

Kaido and the others arrived at the Red Earth Continent and found the enormous Noah's Ark floating in the sky.

"What is that, a boat? It's so big!"

Linlin and King looked up at the sky in shock.

"I don't know either. I asked the people at the Dimension Gate Base, and they didn't seem to know, but it's probably related to the Celestial Dragons, and they must have used Shiki's ability." Kaido looked at Noah's Ark with mixed emotions.

Then King said goodbye and left alone.

The two that remained continued talking as they flew towards the Kabane World's dimensional gate base.

"We have arrived".

Kaido transformed back into his human form, while Linlin next to him jumped down from Zeus.

"Welcome. I am Addison, the director of this base, and this is Mrs. Stussy, in charge of helping you through the dimensional gate." Addison introduced herself politely.

"Help us pass through the dimensional gate?" Linlin asked.

"Worororo, Linlin, you don't understand. The dimensional gate is only three meters high and two meters wide, we can't pass through with our sizes. That's why we need this woman to reduce us with her power."

"That's how I entered the first time."

"I see..."

Kaido watched Charlotte Linlin, who had shrunk several times, enter the star gate, but instead of following her, he turned around and left the base, then transformed into a blue dragon again and flew high into the sky.

However, just as Kaido reached the vicinity of Marineford, he was stunned to hear the sharp alarm sounding on the island. He saw dozens of coastal guns adjusting their position aiming at him.

At the same time, numerous Navy officers flew towards him.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.

But soon after, the alarm stopped.

"Kaido, what are you doing here?" Sengoku said as he flew towards him.

"Of course I'm here to see my daughter!"

Hearing Kaido's words, Sengoku was stunned and immediately remembered that his daughter was in Marineford. Then, he ordered the officers around him to disperse and then said, "Come on, I'll take you."

It didn't take long for them to reach the gate of the female soldiers' camp.

"Fleet Admiral?" The two guards standing on either side of the door asked in confusion.

"This is Yamato's father, Kaido. He is coming to see his daughter. Ask Vice Admiral Samantha if she wants Kaido in or if she prefers Yamato out."

"Yes!" The female soldier quickly took out the Den-Den Mushi to convey the message. Shortly after, Samantha came out holding little Yamato.

"Father!!"

Yamato smiled widely when he saw Kaido, which also softened Kaido's stern expression a little.

"Can you find us a quiet room? I want to have a few words with my daughter alone." Kaido picked up Yamato, who was running over, and then said to Sengoku.

Sengoku didn't say anything, he looked at Samantha, who nodded understandingly and pointed to a small room next to the door, saying: "How about that place?"

"Ok!" Kaido was not demanding and led his daughter towards the room.

After entering the room, Kaido closed the door. He gently put Yamato on the ground and then squatted down.

"Dad, will I live here from now on?"

Kaido nodded and asked softly: "Yeah, how have you been lately? Has anyone bothered you?"

"No, Aunt Rouge and Aunt Samantha are very nice to me. Oh, and also Grandma Tsuru and Ace, my little brother, he's so cute!"

"That's good. In the future, you will live here and also study here. You will probably become a member of the Navy. When that time comes, you must study and train hard."

"Remember, in this world, only your strength is reliable, and also remember your identity as Oni Princess."

Yamato didn't know why his father suddenly became so serious, but he nodded obediently and replied seriously: "I remember!"

"Well, come on, eat this."

At this time, Kaido took out an ice-blue Devil Fruit from nowhere, which he found when he was still ruling Wano Country.

Originally, he had planned to give the Devil Fruit to his daughter when she grew up as part of the plan for her to be the Shogun of Wano, but now all those plans had been disrupted.

So he decided to speed up the process and give her the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Okuchi-no-Makami.

This would not only improve Yamato's skills but would also make her more valuable to the Navy and she would receive more attention and training. This way, even if something happened to him in the future, she wouldn't have to worry about her well-being.

"It looks so cold..."

Yamato took the fruit with some apprehension and, under Kaido's gaze, carefully bit into a small piece. However, upon entering her mouth, her taste buds protested strongly.

"Ugh, it tastes so bad!"

"Swallow it!" But Kaido's face had long since lost all warmth, leaving only a stern look. Yamato was startled by the scream and unconsciously swallowed.

"Eat it all!"

"Ah, father, this thing is bigger than my belly, I can't eat it!" Yamato felt aggrieved with tears in his eyes, but Kaido showed no mercy. "You are an Oni Princess, you can definitely finish it, eat it!"

Resigned, Yamato, with tears in her eyes, struggled to swallow the devil fruit, an extremely difficult process that almost made her vomit before she could finish it.

"Sniff, sniff, dad, I... I already ate it all..."

Kaido looked at his crying little daughter as he spoke with a trembling voice and also felt sad. "Now close your eyes and feel your body."

"Ok..." Yamato slowly closed her eyes, which were already wet with tears.

Soon, the little girl's body began to change. Her silver hair was growing rapidly, her ears were becoming longer, and pointed, and white hairs were growing on her arms and legs.

Kaido understood that it was the hybrid form, and when he saw wisps of white mist-like cold air emanating from Yamato's side, a clear smile finally appeared on his face. "This is how it should be."
