Kuri, Dilapidated Town
After the Onigashima War, all members of the Beasts Pirates entered the Flower Capital. Not only was Kurozumi Orochi's power uprooted, but the lives of the people in the capital were also greatly affected. People were panicked. Many people left the capital and fled to Wano Country to take refuge in various places.
In this dilapidated town, where only poor people usually live, there are now many people from the capital who have fled the city. Tsuru, the female teahouse owner, has been sparing no effort to take care of these people. She provides them with food and medical assistance and has received heartfelt thanks from many people.
Also helping and taking refuge in her store were a white-haired old man wearing a mask and a little girl who always wore her signature smile. The old man's name is Tenguyama Hitetsu, who once took Luffy in when he entered Wano Country. He is a swordsmith. The little girl named Tama was once the personal maid of the capital courtesan Komurasaki and was also the victim of a failed artificial Devil Fruit.
Tenguyama Hitetsu looked at the refugees with sad faces and said slowly, "There are more and more refugees every day. These are all the consequences of the war! Tsuru, you can't save them!"
Tsuru, who had sweat stains on her face and a bandage around her left eye, was preparing tea and snacks at the moment. She looked startled, then continued working, and said with a faint smile, "As long as you live, you must do something! This is what a man taught me!"
At this time, Tama held two pieces of dark dough, ran to the old man with a smile, and said, "Hahaha, Grandpa, let's eat it together!"
Tenguyama Hitetsu looked at this poor and sensible girl and couldn't help but smile, "I'm not hungry, please eat more!"
Tama was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed loudly. She stuffed the rough and unpalatable dough into her mouth, but shed tears of happiness. This was already a very considerable amount of food.
The way Tenguyama Hitetsu looked at her, he immediately thought of his young female apprentice whose whereabouts were unknown. He had lost news of her since the end of the Onigashima battle and sighed in his heart, "Toko, you must live! As long as you are alive, there is hope!"
Kuri, in a Treetop Wooden House Deep in a Jungle
A bandaged little girl was lying weakly on the floor to rest. There were two huge animals napping outside the house, a komainu and a baboon. Toko has the Paramecia Dumpling-Dumpling Fruit ability. She can pull out edible dumplings from her cheeks. Animals or artificial Devil Fruit powers that eat the dumplings will be tamed by them. She repeatedly instigated the Beasts Pirates in the Onigashima War, greatly changing the situation of the war.
This is the residence of Toko and her master Tenguyama Hitetsu. After escaping from the Battle of Onigashima, she has been recuperating here, and her two pets have been looking after her. At this time, a female warrior with a human face and horse body came towards them from a distance. Her four strong legs easily crossed the obstacle and jumped onto the treehouse. The Beasts Pirates logo was clearly engraved on her waistband, but the two beasts showed no hostility towards her, instead showing innocent smiles.
The woman said, "Just leave this to me. You go and fill your stomach first!" The two creatures immediately jumped down from the top of the tree with confidence and disappeared into the jungle.
Inside the room, Tama also opened her eyes and smiled weakly, "Speed, are you here?"
Speed is a member of the Beasts Pirates with the artificial Devil Fruit Horse-Horse Fruit, Model: Pegasus. She was originally subordinate to Jack, but after eating the dumplings made by Toko using her Devil Fruit, she recognized Tama as her master and fought to her death many times to protect her safety. Tama was able to escape from Onigashima after Luffy and others were defeated, and it was Speed and the two pets who tried their best to escort her out of danger.
Speed, who was originally beautiful, showed an exaggerated smile like a horse's face when she saw her and said with a smile, "Master, I'm here to see you!" During this period, Speed had been secretly sending precious food and medicine to Tama . While Tama was devouring the exquisite rice balls and sushi she brought, she asked, "Speed, is there any news recently?"
Speed replied seriously, "The Flower Capital has been chasing down Orochi's gang members recently. The streets are full of Beasts Pirates members, and many people are scared! Also, the Kozuki family... was wiped out!"
Toko paused for a moment after holding the rice ball in her hand, her expression froze for a moment, and then she asked eagerly, "What about Brother Luffy and the others? Is there any news about them?"
Speed replied, "The Straw Hat boy lost all news after the war, and his whereabouts are unknown. His friends have also been imprisoned by Kaido-sama. I heard that they will be escorted to the Prisoner mine in Udon recently!"
Tama lowered her head and bit the rice ball without saying a word, tears and snot dripping down unconsciously. Speed couldn't help but say, "Master, it's better not to worry about others due to your current situation!"
Suddenly her face showed pain. Tama was startled and hurriedly checked her condition, only to find that the other party's back was covered with blood marks left by whipping, some of which had condensed into scabs, and some were still new.
"Speed, did they do this to you?" Tama couldn't care less about her sadness at this time and started to panic. Speed smiled calmly and said, "Kaido-sama is so merciful that he spared the lives of those of us who were really beaten. We are already very lucky! These small physical pains are nothing!"
Tama couldn't help crying again, "I'm sorry, Speed! You suffered because of me, but I'm still worried about others!"
"It's okay, Master! The most important thing now is for you to recover and then escape from this country together!"
New World, a Certain Country
In a certain restaurant, "Have you heard? The little devils of the Worst Generation were ravaged by Kaido! Before, they shouted arrogantly to defeat the Four Emperors and become the Pirate King. But now the captain's life and death are unknown, and the crew members have become prisoners one by one! It's really funny, isn't it?"
"However, those young pirates should not be underestimated. They have defeated many powerful enemies before, and many Warlords were defeated by them! Even the Four Emperors Big Mom lost!"
"So what? The most stupid thing about them is that they faced Kaido so early! That is the strongest pirate in the world, and there is no way anyone can beat him!"
"In short, the limelight of the Worst Generation has completely passed. Now the New World is still the sea area ruled by the Four Emperors! The sea emperors are not opponents that can be defeated by talent!"
The guests heatedly discussed the recent major events in the New World. At this time, a mysterious man in a black cloak finished his meal and silently exited the restaurant in the chaos. He took out a Vivre Card from his arms. It had burned to the point where only a small piece of paper remained, but it still showed the direction of the owner.
"Wait for me, Luffy!"
