On the fifth floor, the fourth floor, the third floor, the second floor, and the first floor's main hall, Kaido smashed the ground under his fist, and then continued downwards.

Between the rocky outcrops.

"Sound of an arrow!"

boom!

Yamato swung his spiked club, sending a shockwave straight at Kro in his werewolf form. Kro was startled and instinctively dodged downwards. The impact flew past his head and slammed into the corner of the ceiling, blasting a large crater in the corner.

"This power..."

He stared at Yamato in astonishment, pursing his lips. "No wonder she's Kaido's daughter!"

"I've already said it, I have nothing to do with him anymore, I'm Yamato now!"

Yamato raised his spiked club, pointing it directly at Crow, "Are you going to move aside or not?!"

Upon hearing this, Kro's face fell.

Is he unwilling to give it up?

This woman just walked straight towards me!

Instead of fighting Rita who was so close, he attacked him directly; he just wanted to cause trouble for Usopp.

In comparison...

Lida was sitting cross-legged on the ground, took out her small backpack, and started eating snacks while watching a movie.

"Gurgle—"

Beside her, Tama, perched on a komainu, instinctively clutched her stomach, looking distressed.

She was hungry.

In Wano Country, there's hardly any food to eat, and the surrounding areas are extremely poor. She lives near Udon, where the water and soil are contaminated with toxins due to the weapons factory, making the rice inedible.

Along the way, she hadn't eaten much, and in order to control a large number of Gifters, she had also spent a lot of energy creating many power balls, but she didn't notice it at the time because of the intense battle.

Now that I've relaxed a bit, I'm actually really hungry.

"Um?"

Lida's ears twitched. She looked at the little girl with purple hair, thought for a moment, took a donut out of her backpack, and asked, "Do you want one?"

"Huh? Can I?" Xiaoyu asked blankly.

"Don't go, Tama! That's the Navy!" Usopp shouted.

"Yes, Navy, you are the enemy." Xiaoyu said firmly, "I won't eat it!"

"No, the Navy..."

Robin then rationally stated, "The Navy is not Tama's enemy, but only our enemy."

Usopp slapped his forehead; he'd been with Luffy for so long that his thought process hadn't caught up with him yet.

"If you're hungry, you should eat. If you're starving, why worry about enemies?"

Lida tore open the donut packaging, broke off a piece and put it in her mouth, saying as she chewed, "You've been hungry, and so have I. Hunger is awful."

She held out the donut to Xiaoyu and said, "Besides, are you a pirate?"

“No, it’s not…” Xiaoyu shook her head.

She's just a child, how could she be a pirate?

"That's good then. Come on, let's eat something, and we'll talk after we've eaten our fill."

Lida chuckled, "It smells delicious! This is a specialty of Pegasus Island. The donut maker was even chased by Big Mom because of it. It tastes amazing, come and have some!"

Xiaoyu glanced at Usopp and the other three, and hesitated.

“Go ahead, the Navy won’t lie about this,” Usopp laughed. “We didn’t bring any food either, sorry Tama.”

She was indeed hungry, as evidenced by the kindness shown to her by someone who looked to be about her age, and the donut that smelled so delicious...

"Then, then..."

Xiaoyu carefully climbed down from the komainu, walked step by step to Lida's side, knelt down in front of her, took a deep breath, and accepted the donut with both hands.

Thank you so much!

She thanked him first, then slowly tore at the donut with her teeth. After just one bite, her eyes lit up, and she devoured the donut.

"Hehe, isn't it delicious? That old man's cooking is really good. Kuro sometimes steals my snacks." Lida smiled proudly.

Xiaoyu nodded emphatically: "Delicious!"

"Damn it, I think I'm hungry too," Usopp said, clutching his stomach.

"Hey, you're an adult, are you trying to take things from a kid?" Nami said disdainfully.

"I can't compete with them either..."

Usopp said helplessly, "That white-haired girl is no ordinary child."

He still remembered that Kuro was the one who brought them despair back in Sabaody, but before that, it was Lida who had the overwhelming advantage.

This little girl is essentially an adult, and a very strong one at that; she once single-handedly fought their entire group.

Lida, however, had sharp ears and overheard their conversation. She took out a few more donuts from her backpack, threw them at them, and said, "If you're hungry, you should eat something."

Usopp instinctively took it, sniffed the donut's distinctive aroma, and suddenly shouted, "Hey, are you trying to bribe us? We're pirates!"

"Pirates and stuff..."

Lida, still chewing, said, "I used to be like that too."

"Huh?! I've never heard of this before!" Usopp exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Robin suddenly remembered something, "The White Devil?"

The rumors about the East China Sea and the Grand Line were quite famous at the time.

"That's because we were hungry and had no other choice."

Lida waved her hand and said, "Kuro once said that when people are starving to death, what's the point of talking about good and evil? That's a topic for people who are already full. When people are hungry, they have to eat. They can't survive without filling their stomachs, and the feeling of hunger is very unpleasant. As for whether we should arrest you or kill you after we've eaten, that depends on the situation."
