Chapter 12
Ragnar and Yamato looked at Gancho, who was deep in thought.
He looked at them and asked, "What are the benefits of moving to Wano?"
Ragnar grinned.
"First, better protection from slavers. Second, a free life with humans, no need to hide as fairies. Third, you can farm all you want. In fact, I want you all to make the forests of Wano more alive and beautiful."
"Fourth, all you gotta do is trade medical plants and other things you farm for the things you need."
Yamato nodded. "You can eat and play as much as you want."
"Oi, don't say stupid things." A vein popped on Ragnar's forehead. "What does she mean, eat and play all you want? Who will do the work if everyone starts doing that?"
Yamato ignored Ragnar.
The Tontatta whispered among themselves while Gancho remained deep in thought.
After thinking for a while, he looked at everyone.
"If what you say is true, then those who want to go can go with you."
He looked at the Tontatta.
"Those who want to go can form a group and follow Mr. Ragnar-land."
Deo was the first to walk forward, followed by a few dozen more.
"We want to go."
Ragnar smiled. "Done. You all can pack up. We will be leaving tomorrow."
After saying that, he grabbed Yamato and flew toward Dressrosa.

Both went to Dressrosa sneakily and started strolling around, eating food and watching the vibrant country.
Then they went to see the arena.

Meanwhile, in Wano, Hiyori did her daily routine of training and paperwork while occasionally looking after Ulti.
Maria helped her often, yet the workload was driving her insane.
"You two bastards, just come back," she muttered irritably as veins popped on her cute face.
She took some deep breaths and started her training.
After training came sparring. She drew her blade as Jack stood in front of her with his twin swords.
"I won't be going easy on you," Jack muttered.
Hiyori's mouth twitched. "Defeat me first."
When she first arrived there, she was weaker than Jack. But now, after a year of hard work and hellish training with Yamato and Ragnar, she was stronger than Jack.
Jack huffed as Ulti and Page One cheered for her. Maria stayed there, observing their movements.
Jack attacked as Hiyori drew her practice blade. The swords met as Hiyori matched Jack's ruthless assault with calm agility and strength.

After having their fun, Ragnar and Yamato went to Green Bit and took the group of Tontatta who were going to Wano.
Ragnar, in his Rayquaza form, flew while carrying everyone.
Yamato and the others waved at the Tontatta, saying their goodbyes as they flew away.
Gancho kept looking at the sky as they disappeared.
"What do you think?" he asked as King Riku of Dressrosa walked out of the forest.
"I don't know. But who would have thought that Beast Kaido would have kids like them? A boy not even an adult yet has a Mythical Zoan, and the girl isn't any weakling. Truly worthy of being the Sea Emperor's kids."
Yet what both of them didn't know was that Ragnar had sensed Riku's presence the moment he arrived near Green Bit, yet he acted like he didn't notice.
For him and Yamato, the only one capable of causing them trouble in Dressrosa was the hero of the arena. Other than him, he and Yamato could take down anyone from that kingdom.
After a few days of travel, Ragnar and Yamato arrived in Wano.
They first left the Tontatta in Shinobu's hands. She was in charge of their security.
"Leave it to me, Shogun Ragnar," Shinobu bowed.
Ragnar and Yamato waved.
"Tsk, how many times do we have to tell you not to do stuff like this?"
Shinobu scratched her head.
Ragnar and Yamato went to the Shogun Castle after chatting with Shinobu.
"Yooo, we're back—"
Before they could finish, two wooden swords came flying at them as both dodged instantly.
Hiyori walked out with a wooden sword in her hand as a dangerous smile formed on her face.
"Where have you been?"
Yamato and Ragnar whistled innocently.
"Hmm? What are you talking about?"
A vein popped on Hiyori's forehead as she charged at them.
Soon, Yamato and Ragnar were thoroughly beaten—educated—by Hiyori.
"So-sorry," Yamato and Ragnar apologized.
Hiyori huffed.
Ulti, Page One, and Maria shivered.
Never ever make Hiyori angry, they made a mental note in their minds.

Soon, life in Wano went back to normal.
Wano was changing slowly but surely.
Farmers laughed with their new fairy friends as Wano's farmland started producing more.
As Time flew by.
