Chapter 40
The Fourth Wife, Yamato

The commotion in the General’s Mansion went unnoticed by the outside world.

Faced with the iron-fisted suppression of the Prodemol family, the O-Tengu-Ban quickly fell.

This ninja force consisted of eleven members, their captain named Furokuju, a bald man with long earlobes and a skull.

Shortly after, these ninjas were brought before Eric by his children.

“You dare kill Kurozumi Orochi! Kaido knows about this, he won’t let you go!”

Furokuju glared at Eric.

Eric sat cross-legged in the middle, with Kozuki Hiyori on his left and Yamato on his right. He couldn’t help but laugh at the words.

“Take them away. Tomorrow, they will be executed for treason.”

A bunch of defeated soldiers, they dare to bark at him. What difference does it make if they bring up Kaido?

Unfathomable.

After the men were taken away, Kozuki Hiyori became nervous: “Kaido knows what happened in Flower Capital, he’s sure to intervene.”

Yamato was devouring a sumptuous feast, not a bit like a lady. Upon hearing Kaido’s name, she almost choked.

“Cough… Eric, I must escape! Thank you, goodbye!”

With that, she stood up and prepared to run.

Eric chuckled and rolled his eyes. So scared of her old man, yet she thought she could defeat Kaido.

“Do you know how to navigate? Do you know how to sail?”

“No!” Yamato stopped, proudly crossed her arms: “I only know how to fight!”

“Then where do you intend to run? As long as you’re in Wano, Kaido can easily find you.”

“Help me, Eric!”

Yamato was suddenly discouraged.

She can’t beat him, and she can’t run away.

Hearing their conversation, Kozuki Hiyori tilted her head in confusion: “Eric, who is she?”

“Kaido’s daughter.”

“What?” Kozuki Hiyori was startled.

“Don’t be afraid, I’ve cut ties with him! I’m on your side!” Yamato clenched her fist angrily: “The bastard Kaido, he actually installed a powerful bomb in my shackles!”

No wonder she had horns… Kozuki Hiyori eyed her cautiously.

Eric shook his head: “Why should I help you? We have no connection.”

“We do, you brought me out of Onigashima.”

Only then did Yamato’s brain start working quickly: “Besides, you killed Kurozumi Orochi, you’re bound to clash with Kaido.”

She paused, then asked suspiciously: “But can you beat my father?”

Underestimating someone, huh?

Eric almost choked to death from her words, is this how one asks for help?

“If you want my help, marry me, bear me children.” Eric said with an annoyed tone.

Yamato froze, squinting suspiciously: “No wonder you kept saying those things on Onigashima!”

She is a woman, and even with a hundred years of training she wouldn’t be able to beat Kaido, he said these things to make her have children!

“E! Ric! K!”

Kozuki Hiyori was furious, this guy was trying to take a second wife in front of her.

Huh?

Something wasn’t right.

Come to think of it, she herself was the third wife, who are the other two women?!

So infuriating!

Kozuki Hiyori glared at him angrily. Although they had only known each other for a day, they already had children, driven by a woman’s possessive desire, she was now filled with jealousy!

But remembering the death of Kurozumi Orochi…

“Hmph, I’ll go outside for some fresh air!”

With a snort, Kozuki Hiyori got up and left the room, a “come and coax me” attitude.

“Don’t leave the General’s Mansion, it’s not safe outside yet.”

Eric said casually, taking it as a coaxing.

Yamato blinked, innocently asking: “Eric, why are you so lustful? You said you have three wives already.”

“BIG MOM has 43 husbands.”

Eric calmly took a sip of tea, what’s wrong with taking multiple wives?

Did he do anything wrong?

He did not!

He just wants to give these poor girls a home!

Thinking of the Charlotte family’s situation, Yamato suddenly felt it made sense.

Compared to that, Prodemol Eric is truly a man of love and righteousness, he didn’t abandon his wives after having children.

Compared to them, Eric is a good man!

Yamato reached this conclusion through her unique train of thought.

But she was very persistent:

“But, having children is a woman’s thing, I am a man!”

“You won’t know if ‘men’ can’t give birth unless you try.”

Eric rolled his eyes at her, he could only go with the flow of this girl’s thought.

Yamato rolled her eyes back, looking at Eric with a “Do you think I’m stupid?” expression.

Although she insisted she was a man, deep down she knew she was a woman.

He’s trying to fool her! The devious guy!

“It won’t be long before Kaido returns, your time is running out.” Eric said with a smirk: “Don’t you want to see Kaido’s expression when he finds out he suddenly has a grandson or granddaughter?”

Hearing this, Yamato was actually moved.

“Wait! How can you have a child in such a short time? Don’t take me for an idiot, women are pregnant for at least ten months!”

“I have a special talent.”

Eric explained the basic abilities of the Child of the Shadows.

After listening, Yamato’s eyes widened, and she excitedly said: “So it’s possible? Then let’s have a child! Let’s have a child!”

A child inheriting her and Eric’s talents might truly surpass Kaido.

She’s already looking forward to her child beating the crap out of her damn dad!

So.

A simple wedding was arranged, to be held in the General’s Mansion.

Considering that this was Wano, the wedding ceremony adopted the local customs.

The ceremony was over, they entered the bridal chamber.

The next day.

“Wake up, wake up, where’s our child?”

Early in the morning, Eric was woken up by his bride.

Eric was annoyed by Yamato’s abundant energy, she was worthy of being Kaido’s daughter, she was like a husky.

Thinking about it, Yamato’s fruit was called the Zoan-type - Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami.

She’s a dog.

Pfft!

Calling his wife a dog was a bit excessive.

Eric pushed Yamato off of him, then opened the system, and sure enough, he saw a prompt.

Another one-shot kill?!
