Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

Chapter 305 Koujiro's Change

When Jellal arrived at the entrance of Isshin Dojo carrying Castilita and the Empress, Koshiro was already standing there waiting.

He greeted them with a smile.

"Mr. Koshiro, long time no see! This is my wife Boa Hancock, and our lovely daughter Castelita." Jellal walked over and greeted them warmly, and introduced the identities of the empress and his daughter to Koshiro.

Castilita jumped down from Jellal's arms, walked towards Koshiro politely, and greeted him in a childish voice: "Uncle Koshiro~"

The empress maintained a cool and noble demeanor and just nodded slightly. She was always so indifferent to other men.

Koshiro had a faint smile on his face and responded gently: "Hehehe~ Mr. Jellal, Her Majesty the Empress, Princess Castilita, welcome to Isshin Dojo, please come in."

After saying that, Koshiro turned sideways and made a "please" gesture, then took steady steps and led the three people into the reception room of Isshin Dojo.

As soon as we stepped into the reception room, Koshiro smiled and politely and warmly invited everyone to sit down, showing the hospitality and kindness that a host should have.

Everyone walked to an antique tea table. Koshiro slowly knelt down and gently raised his hand, motioning Jellal and the Empress to sit down together.

Jellal and the Empress looked at each other, smiled slightly, gladly accepted Koshiro's invitation, and sat down elegantly on the seat to Koshiro's left.

Although Castilita was full of curiosity about this strange environment, she just sat aside obediently and observed everything around her quietly.

Koshiro picked up the teapot with skillful movements, gently lifted the lid, tilted the pot, and a stream of clear hot water poured from the spout into three exquisite teacups.

The aroma of steaming tea fills the air, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.

He handed the teacup to each person with both hands and said softly, "Please enjoy."

"Thank you, Mr. Koshiro."

Gerard and the Empress exchanged polite words, then picked up the cups of tea and began to taste them.

They tilted their heads back slightly, brought the teacup to their lips, blew gently away the hot steam on the water surface, and then sipped the warm tea in small sips.

The tea brings a light fragrance and sweetness to your mouth, with a mellow and long-lasting taste.

Both Jellal and the Empress showed satisfied expressions as they savored the carefully brewed cup of tea.

Castilita, who was standing by, watched her parents' actions and followed their example, carefully picking up her own small teacup.

She imitated the adults' actions, first blowing away the hot air in the cup, and then taking a small sip.

Although the tea was a little hot, she still tried to feel its unique taste.

Kaslita blinked, seeming quite curious about this new experience.

While drinking tea, she observed everything around her, with curiosity and excitement shining in her eyes.

"This is really great tea, Mr. Koshiro. I've been here for a month and never had such delicious tea." Gerard said with some displeasure after putting down the teacup.

There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, as if he was deliberately provoking a conversation.

Koshiro smiled slightly. He knew that Gerard was teasing him, so he responded, "Mr. Gerard, you are wrong. You were particularly fond of wine and had no interest in tea."

His tone was light and humorous, as if he was sharing a fond memory with an old friend.

"Hahahaha~" The two of them laughed heartily at the same time, and the atmosphere became relaxed and happy.

"That's right. I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Koshiro. We came to the East China Sea on this trip, naturally, to see you, our old friend." Jellal laughed, with sincere emotion flashing in his eyes.

After all, he was the one who kidnapped her daughter, but he believed that Koshiro should be quite satisfied with his daughter now.

Look, whenever Kuina has time, she will challenge Hawkeye to a duel. Unfortunately, there are no spectators, so no one knows who will win or lose.

And looking at Koshiro now, Jellal clearly felt that he had changed a lot.

When we first met, he always looked sad, but now he has become as cheerful as a young man.

Perhaps it was because of Kuina's current achievements that Koshiro was able to put down the burden on his heart.

After all, Kuina originally wanted to become the world's greatest swordsman, but Koshiro thought that this was almost impossible.

However, although it is still uncertain whether Kuina has actually achieved this goal, her reputation is already enough to rival that of Hawkeye Mihawk!

"Ever since the newspaper reported your appearance in Roge Town, Donghai, I knew you would come here, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." Koshiro said gently.

"Um... Dad, Mom, can I go out and play for a while?" Castilita asked in a low voice at this time.

She felt that this party was different from what she had imagined. Previous parties were always lively and had a variety of drinks and delicious food.

There weren't many people at this party, and they were all drinking tea. The topics the adults talked about were not what she was interested in, so she felt very bored.

"Good~"

"Remember not to make trouble, okay?" Gerald agreed, but warned Castilita in advance.

After all, this is Isshin Dojo, and there are too many children coming here to learn swordsmanship. Jellal is worried that if Castilita attacks them, it will undermine their self-confidence.

"Ok!"

"I know, Dad!" Castilita assured happily.

When she just came in, she saw many children holding bamboo swords in the village. She could be the boss again!

With excitement, Castilita immediately ran out of the living room.

"Hehehe~"

"What a lively and lovely child..." When Koshiro looked at Castilita, he thought of Kuina when she was a child.

Although Kuina at that time was not as lively as Castilita, she was also a very cute girl.

"Ok?"

"Mr. Koshiro, it seems that we are not the only ones visiting Isshin Dojo today." Gerard said with a smile.

His observation Haki suddenly sensed a stranger approaching, and he could still remember whose heartbeat it was.

"Oh?" Koshiro was a little surprised.

Then he used his observation Haki to explore the surroundings, and sure enough, he found someone approaching secretly.

He knew only one person who behaved like this, and that was Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army!

Thinking of this, Koshiro added another teacup to the table and added a seat to his right.

"Hehehe~"

"I'm so happy to meet Mr. Gerard and Her Majesty the Empress at my old friend's house." Just as Koshiro finished pouring his tea, Dorag's deep voice came in.
