"Hahahaha, help! Help me!"
The pink-haired little girl ran very fast, and although she was still laughing as she spoke, tears were already streaming down her face.
Behind him, a group of frost demons, resembling evil spirits, chased after him frantically, wielding weapons and roaring.
The small, still-growing body was nowhere near as stamina-rich as those behind it, who had been infected with the virus and transformed into evil spirits. Hu Zi's speed slowed down, and his breathing became heavier. Finally, he stumbled and fell heavily to the ground, his hands and feet kicking up a cloud of dust as they touched the ground.
"Hahaha, it hurts so much! Hu Zi, Hu Zi can't take it anymore!"
With a smile mixed with tears of obvious pain, Toko looked back in terror. The ice demons continued their marching without stopping, and in the instant she fell, they were already almost in front of her.
"No, Father, I... I must go with you," Hu Zi murmured.
Just as one of the approaching ice demons raised its blade, it suddenly sensed something, stopped its downward strike, and roared fiercely ahead, as if it had detected some threat.
When Hu Zi turned his head, his face was still smiling, but his eyes showed a blank expression.
On the wide river in front of her, there was an enormous golden ship. The ship was so big that Toko swore it was bigger than the castle tower of the Flower Capital. The huge river was nothing compared to this ship, which occupied half of its area, stretching across the land.
The enormous ship gleamed with gold, drawing Toko's gaze upwards. But it was so tall that he couldn't see the deck above. All he could see were the pillar-like fortress-like structure atop it and the enormous statue carved on the bow.
It looks like a lion, and also like a dragon and a sheep...
Hu Zi didn't know what it was, but he could sense its imposing power.
Is there such a boat on the waterways of the Flower Capital?
Just as Toko expressed her doubts, she heard a sound coming from below the enormous ship.
"Ice Demon?"
Hu Zi's gaze fell downwards, and her eyes narrowed. She tilted her head, her smile never fading. "Hahaha, who are you people?"
Before her stood a group of people dressed in white uniforms and carrying weapons. Their clothes were different from those in Wano Country; they were divided into upper and lower sections. The group at the head of the group wore different clothing from the other group, looking more neat and tidy, but like some of the other group, they wore large white cloaks.
Hu Zi's attention was quickly drawn to the people at the very front.
Those were a few people who looked very different.
A person dressed in seemingly easy-to-move clothes was twisting their wrists, eager to try.
Wearing a long silk robe, she has a figure that Toko greatly envies, definitely better than Lady Komurasaki's.
There was also a shrine maiden's attire that Toko recognized, a woman carrying a longbow and with a calm expression.
And there was that man with curly hair, lounging around, yawning.
Further ahead, three more people stood in a triangular formation.
On the left is a man dressed in black, wearing a white cloak, pushing up his glasses with the heel of his hand.
On the right was a white-haired woman who looked to be about the same age as her, wearing overalls, biting a lollipop, and also wearing a cape.
Directly in front of her, a handsome man dressed in the same golden attire as the enormous ship behind her, with a cigarette-like but thicker one between his teeth, was looking down at her.
Kuro glanced at the girl, then looked at the group of ice demons behind her, and said, "Fanny."
In Toko's eyes, the older sister with a great figure walked out.
"Take care of them."
The man in the gold-clad man spoke, and Fanny nodded, opening her arms towards the ice demons, saying, "The virus's aura is best dealt with now."
She slightly pulled her five fingers inward, and the frost on those demon-like beings seemed to melt away, turning into white air currents that were drawn into the woman's palm.
Soon, the ice demons returned to human form, and the crimson in their eyes disappeared, replaced by clarity.
A member of the Beasts Pirates, wearing a horned helmet, looked at his hands with surprise and cheered, "I'm healed!"
"Me too! I've become human!"
Besides the pirates, there were also samurai dressed in Wano Country clothes with their hair tied in a topknot, weeping bitterly.
"Waaaaah, I never want to turn into that form again, it's so scary."
At this moment, Fanny withdrew her hand, absorbing the virus that had transformed from the white stream into her pocket. Then, she paused there, inexplicably uttering a word of praise:
"I see. So it's a virus that can make infected people burst out with vitality and fully manifest it? This virus is mixed with other factors, but the most important one is the viral factor that can unleash vitality in one place. Once infected, the manifestation of vitality will not last more than an hour. It's very powerful and worth studying."
She excitedly raised her hand and said, "Admiral Kuro, can I go back to the ship to do my research?"
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the group of people who had returned to normal, and said, "We're here to arrest people now."
"navy!"
A scream rang out.
After their initial excitement, the Beasts Pirates spotted Kuro and his crew and immediately gripped their weapons tightly, exclaiming, "Why are there Marines here?!"
The samurai beside him, somewhat confused, asked, "Navy? What's a navy?"
"Our enemies! Enough talk, draw your weapons and fight! Didn't you promise to be loyal to Lord Kaido?" the pirate shouted.
