"Hmph! Running dog of the World Governnt, I never should have trusted you. Before, it must have been you tipping them off, that's why I ended up imprisoned by Kaido and the others," Kozuki Sukiyaki said coldly.
"As I thought, even now you still don't know, Kanjuro's real na is Kurozumi Kanjuro," Toki shook her head, not really wanting to exchange words with him anymore.
She suddenly understood a little, why when Rosse first went to Oden's residence, he had that look toward the Kozuki retainers and her.
'All clowns.'
'Utterly, foolishly ridiculous clowns.'
"What? Kanjuro is from the Kurozumi clan?", That news no longer had any aning, but it still managed to shock Kozuki Sukiyaki.
Or rather, because he already felt certain of victory now, all the more reason to heap condemnation on the traitor.
But unfortunately, Toki had no intention of listening further.
She was already a bad w*man.
And not only that, she was the kind of bad w*man who had been ravished countless tis, through and through.
For soone like her, the only aning left in living was to watch Hiyori grow up safely.
Beyond that, she had no other demands.
Though lately she had heard one good piece of news, though Oden had given the order to kill Momonosuke, in the end Whitebeard stopped it, the reason being that a child is innocent.
After all, in terms of identity, that child was already Whitebeard's adopted son.
Still, Toki felt so regret, because Momonosuke would stand against the World Governnt. That much she could already foresee.
And she had no intention of stopping it. On the surface, Momonosuke was the last bloodline of the Kozuki family. That was sothing she could neither stop nor change.
Since it was fated that Rosse would completely consu him, she could only silently hope in her heart that Momonosuke might live a little longer.
For that, though she found it unbearable when her throat was ramd, she was still willing to try it a few more tis.
'Since things have already co to this, might as well do a bit more.'
'For Momonosuke's sake, and for Hiyori's.'
But right now was not the ti to think of such things.
She was no longer on the sa path as the Kozuki family.
In fact, even though Kozuki Oden was still alive, she more or less already knew what sort of death awaited him.
A cruel one. But those ruthless words Oden had spoken back then, and those few strikes he'd dealt her, she still rembered them vividly.
Since so things had been done, he couldn't bla her for repaying them in kind.
"Saintess Vanessa, I'll trouble you!", Toki silently stepped back two paces, yielding the stage to Vanessa, the tall woman.
In terms of height, Vanessa was even taller than Gion. After Toki retreated, her figure almost completely blocked out Toki's small body.
Vanessa had no intention of wasting words.
Since the show was over, it was ti for her to make her move.
A re remnant of the Kozuki family wasn't worth her attention.
Vanessa raised her gun barrel, aiming at Kozuki Sukiyaki.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Four gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.
It had to be said, Sukiyaki's strength was not weak, at least an A-rank powerhouse.
But faced with Vanessa's full strength and completely unknown thods, in such a rushed mont, Sukiyaki couldn't muster much resistance at all.
Shrrip!
Four bullets coated with Armant Haki easily pierced through Sukiyaki's limb joints.
Having not fought in years, Sukiyaki had never encountered such a scene.
In his imagination, he was supposed to crush Toki with his strength.
Before he could even let out a scream, Vanessa's body was already before him.
Her leg lifted high, a two-ter-long leg coated in Armant Haki ca crashing down.
To an outsider, it was a scene full of allure and sensuality.
But to Sukiyaki, it was no different from Death itself arriving.
BOOM!
With just one strike, Sukiyaki's head smashed into the ground beneath, his combat ability utterly gone.
If not for Rosse's orders, Vanessa wouldn't have bothered with close combat. She would have simply blown Sukiyaki's head off with one shot.
But since he wanted the man alive, she had to do it differently.
"Co here!", Vanessa glanced at the coachman, her tone pure command.
"Your orders, ma'am."
How could the coachman dare refuse? He hurried over, trembling.
"Lift his head up. Feed him this. Then cuff him."
Vanessa ordered coldly, casually tossing down a Devil Fruit and a pair of seastone cuffs.
For soone of Sukiyaki's level, breaking his limbs wasn't all that secure.
And she had no interest in keeping watch over him along the way, nor in soiling her own hands. For trash like this, even his blood touching her would feel disgusting.
She liked tornting people, but didn't like personally handling it, and she hated being stained with blood.
That was her principle.
The coachman, though afraid Sukiyaki might suddenly lash out, still obediently carried out the task, grabbing Sukiyaki's head, forcing down the Devil Fruit, and finally clasping on the seastone shackles.
With the shackles on, Sukiyaki, already like a dead dog, appeared even weaker and more powerless.
"Take him back to Kuri," She tossed the words offhandedly, then imdiately grabbed Toki's shoulder, and the two of them vanished on the spot.
Since the target had already been subdued, there was no reason to linger.

[Two Days Later]
"Cough! Cough!"
Toki kept coughing, almost hacking out her lungs.
'Too big.'
Stuck in her throat for too long, it made her very uncomfortable.
And before that, it had rubbed against her intestinal lining. That head-to-tail sensation left her whole body in disarray.
But anyway, it wasn't the first ti. She ought to adapt by now.
Toki didn't know how others managed to adapt, but this was how she consoled herself.
Besides, her Devil Fruit was quite handy, it spared her a lot of suffering.
If her body felt too uncomfortable, she could simply rewind her body's ti by a day, wiping away all physical aftereffects.
Though the mory remained, at least the body felt fine.
At the sa ti, her own desires were satisfied too. Truly a win-win.
"What's on the agenda today? Do you need to arrange it?", Rosse's cheerful voice ca from behind, clearly in a very good mood.
Today was the day of Kozuki Oden's execution. Yesterday he had spent the night enjoying himself with Toki, and the feeling was indeed excellent.
"I know. Sukiyaki should be arriving today, right? Let be the one to end all this."
This ti Toki's voice carried no hesitation. Her tone calm, her deanor unnaturally composed.
These were debts the Kozuki family owed her.
Had she known the Kozuki family would be like this, she would rather have used her Fruit's power again than ever have t Kozuki Oden.
Perhaps if she had used it again, she might have even avoided this demon Rosse.
But alas, she had already been ruined by him, and there was no going back.
Even if she traveled through ti again, she could no longer return to what she had been.
She was a bad w*man, and this ti, she truly ant to be bad to the very end.
