Chapter 444

The Country of Peace.

After Hundred Beast Kaido was killed by Maple and died a heroic death, the Beast Pirates quickly fled the Country of Peace under the leadership of Ember and Kane.

Today, only the original samurai of the Country of Peace are left in the Country of Peace, and they can feel the undercurrent surging throughout the country.

Somewhere in the wilderness.

At the entrance of a seemingly hidden cave, a blue-haired loli, who looked about eight years old, was squatting there, holding her knees with her hands.

Her clothes had a lot of sewing marks, and there was a lot of dirty dust on her cheeks, which looked very hard.

She is Mitsuki Kazuko.

The daughter of Mitsuki Oda, and Mitsuki Momosuke are the legitimate heirs of this country.

After the death of Mitsuki Oda, she escaped from the Imperial Palace under the protection of Kappa Kawamatsu, but because the Black Snake was searching for her throughout the country, she could only hide in the wilderness to avoid being caught.

"…"

Mitsuki Oda sent Momosuke and others to 20 years later, and now only four years have passed, there are still 16 years left.

This means that she still needs to continue to avoid the pursuit of the Black Snake and survive in the cracks for 16 years.

But this is not what she is worried about now.

She is worried about the change in the environment.

Since the Black Snake, with the support of Kaido, began to transform the Country of Peace and build various weapons factories, the environment of the Country of Peace has been constantly destroyed.

At first, He Song took her to hide in the mountain forest, and it was easy to get enough food every day, but now there is a clear change.

He Song needs to go out for almost an entire day to bring back enough food, and it has become extremely difficult.

She can almost foresee that in a few years, she may not even be able to get enough food to eat. After all, she has almost no ability to survive, and her appetite will gradually increase.

She decided, if the food becomes insufficient for the two of them to survive, then she will leave and find a way to survive on her own, so as not to drag He Song down.

And just as Hiwa was thinking about this.

She was suddenly startled and quickly turned her head to look. She saw that in the distant forest, two figures had appeared out of nowhere and were walking towards her.

"That is …"

Hiwa was slightly startled, and immediately hid in the cave.

Although she couldn't see the person clearly due to the distance and the bushes, she could tell that it wasn't He Song!

Sha, sha, sha.

Listening to the rustling sound from the branches and bushes getting closer, Hiwa's expression gradually became tense. Her small hands grabbed the corner of her clothes, trying not to make any movement.

But the rustling sound finally stopped outside the cave.

Hiwa was extremely nervous.

Almost at this moment, a hand stretched out from the darkness behind her and patted her shoulder.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Ri Wa, who was tensed up, suddenly shouted through the whole cave. He ran out of the cave desperately with a frightened look on his face.

In her panic, she didn't know where she was going. Before she could run out of the cave, she tripped on a stone and fell forward.

"Why are you scaring her …"

Maple stood outside the cave and glanced at Robin, who was next to him. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he waved his hand.

Hiwa, who was about to roll out of the cave like a ball, suddenly froze in the air, and stopped about a foot away from the ground.

She felt as if she fell into a ball of cotton, and then her whole body flew up and was lifted by an invisible force to the cave entrance. She leaned backward and sat on the ground.

Robin looked at Hiwa and tilted his head: "This time, it's younger than me."

Maple's mouth trembled.

What did he mean by "this time, it's younger than me?!"

She felt as if his image in Robin's heart had been distorted in some way, and her current thoughts were quite dangerous as well.

"Huff … huff …"

Hiwa, who was lifted up by Maple's power and placed on the ground, panted heavily. There were still traces of shock in her eyes, and her entire body felt weak and powerless.

Several seconds later, she barely managed to stabilize her state of mind and looked at Maple and Robin, who were not far away from her.

"You … you two are …"

Hiwa panted lightly and bit her lip as she spoke.

In the end, they were still found by Charcoal's people? Not to mention, Ha Song also went out to look for food, so he wasn't here.

"You're Hiwa, right?"

Maple smiled faintly at Hiwa.

Hiwa's heart tightened, but she still forced herself to remain calm on the surface and shook her head, saying, "I-I'm sorry, I don't know anyone named Hiwa. You must have mistaken me for someone else …"

A faint light flashed in Maple's eyes as he carefully examined the loli in front of him. He quickly confirmed that the girl in front of him was indeed Mitsuki's daughter, Mitsuki Hiwa.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to capture you … It's because I got something from your mother, so as a response, I'll compensate you with something."

"Eh?"

Hiwa was surprised.

If Maple was someone sent by Orochi to capture her, he wouldn't say such a thing. Even if it was to confirm her identity, he probably wouldn't make up such a thing.

She didn't know why, but when she saw Feng Ye's azure eyes, she instinctively felt a sense of trust in him.

"You are …"

Hiwa stood up and looked at Maple and asked in a low voice.

Maple smiled and said, "You can call me Mr. Maple. By the way, you still don't know what happened in the Country of Peace?"

"What happened in the Country of Peace?"

Hiwa was slightly surprised.

In order to avoid Orochi's pursuit, she and Ha Song had been hiding in the remote wilderness, far away from cities and villages as much as possible. So, they knew nothing about what happened in the Country of Peace.

Maple didn't answer Hiwa. Instead, he suddenly glanced at a place not far away and said with a smile, "The person responsible for explaining is here."

As Maple's voice fell.

A voice filled with disbelief and surprise came from afar.

"Your Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness!! "

"I just heard the news in the town, that Hundred Beast Kaido is dead, he was killed by someone!!"

The voice came from afar and quickly reached Hiwa.

A fat creature that looked like an angry bird could be seen leaping and running from the forest with great agility. It was the Kappa He Song.

"Hey!!"

Hiwa heard Ha Song's voice and couldn't help but subconsciously cover her mouth with a look of disbelief. She looked at the direction where Ha Song was running and said, "Kaido is dead?!"

Although she was very young, she knew who her greatest enemy was. It wasn't the black snake, but the Hundred Beast Kaido who stood behind the snake!

He was the Light Moon Clan's greatest enemy!

If they didn't defeat Kaido, they would never be able to overthrow Black Snake's rule, and as long as they defeated Kaido, Black Snake would not be a problem.

However, Kaido's strength was extremely terrifying. Even her father, Light Moon Oda, was defeated in the end. It was obvious that they couldn't defeat Kaido with their strength alone. That existence was a monster!

But now.

That monster was dead!

This news made her feel as if she was still in a dream.

"Your Royal Highness … Huh?!"

Ha Song, who was rushing towards Ri Wa, was still shouting. His voice was filled with ecstasy as he reported the good news to Ri Wa. However, his voice stopped abruptly because he saw Ri Wa standing in front of the cave. He also saw Maple and Robin standing in front of Ri Wa.

Its fat body stopped in mid-air, and after rolling a few times, it landed behind Hiwa. Almost instinctively, it drew its sword and looked at Maple and Robin vigilantly.
