Chapter 308: The Town of Leftovers
"Don't call me that!" Vivi huffed.
"But Vivitama would be a more fitting name in this place," Zorotaro said.
"I rather you just called me 'Hey' or 'You'..." She said.
"Fine…are you sure we are in the right direction?" Zoro asked her.
"I think we came this way."
"And I keep telling you to learn observation haki! Then youll know that the Captain aura is this way!" She pointed.
It's been four days since their arrival. And they had waited patiently at the masked man's house along with Tama and Ace.
Then, this same morning, Vivi was able to pick up the familiar auras of her remaining crew members, along with Law and the samurais.
However, something must have gone wrong during their entrance because their auras scattered all over the west side of Wano.
They had no other choice but to separate into three groups to cover the most ground and find them all out, then they would reunite at the Flower Capital, the biggest city at the center of the island.
The duo then saw someone running in the distance.
"This is a weird place to go for a run," Zoro commented.
"I doubt that's what she is doing..." Vivi said.
After all, they were essentially in the middle of a desert.
"Please!, help!" The person running screamed.
Two individuals riding the same type of mount lizard they encountered on their first day, were chasing that person.
"Do you mind leaving the lizards alive? We could try using them as mounts." Vivi told Zoro.
"I'll make no promises…" He disappeared from where he was standing.
A moment later, the two riders fell from their mounts and Vivi jumped into action to secure the rides.
"Got them!...okay calm down you two!" She told the lizards as they tried to bite her.
"You need to let them go!. They only obey the Waiters!. That species is also extremely venomous." The woman they just saved told Vivi.
One of the lizards ended up biting her on the shoulder as she got distracted listening to that woman.
"Oh no!, this is very bad!" The woman looked at Vivi with concern.
"What are you doing?, I thought you were going to tame them or something." Zoro questioned.
"I don't have an ability like that!... I just figured this was going to be easier…would just stop biting me already!" She ended up punching one of the lizards and its head exploded in a burst of gore.
"Oh…" Vivi realized her mistake.
"Okay…you!" She glanced at the remaining lizard, who was now frozen in terror.
"Are you going to be a nice mount or a dead lizard?"
The lizard lowered his head to allow her easy access to the saddle;
"How nice of you." Vivi smiled and got on top of the lizard.
"I can't believe this…" The woman stared at Vivi in shock.
"Now there is only one mount." Zoro pointed out.
"You can walk. This lady can ride with me." Vivi extended her hand so the woman could sit on top of the animal.
"How is that fair?" Zoro complained.
"This is not good!. You need immediate assistance. I may be able to treat you in my shop. Is close by, in the town of Kiri." The woman said.
"Don't worry about the venom. It does nothing to me…I'm Vivi by the way."
"Are you serious?..." The woman asked.
"No, her name is actually Vivitama!" Zoro corrected.
"We are from around here, I 'm Zorotaro."
"Those are some strange names…you must be foreigners. Ohh, I am Tsuru. Thank you for saving me good foreigners, and welcome to Wano Country. "
"No no, we are locals…" Zoro insisted.
"Just give it up, Zorotaro…" Vivi said. No one would ever believe they were locals.

"Oi!!, Kiku!' Tsuru called as they approached one run-down shop on the border of the town.
The woman she called Kiku looked extremely tall. Next to her was an even bigger man with an angry expression.
"Tsuru!, what are you doing on a lizard mount?!" Kiku looked at her with concern.
They arrived at her side and Tsuru hurried to dismount.
"I'm fine. These people saved me from some unpleasant men who tried to rob me while I was trying to collect some herbs."
"I see…but you should have taken that mount…this is bad." Kiku looked at the lizard with concern.
"Oi!, you two. You look like foreigners…did you steal that lizard?, they belong to the Waiters." The giant sumo fighter approached them.
"If you are outlaws, we are going to have a problem here."
Zoro glanced at the man while Vivi dismounted the lizard.
"Okay, you can go now."
The lizard ran for its life without thinking it twice.
"What a good boy." Vivi smiled.
"Hey!, I'm talking to you!. Identify yourselves!" The sumo man yelled at Zoro and Vivi.
"You have yet to tell us who you are." Zoro placed a hand on his sword.
The sumo man stared at him with some warines.
"Are you a samurai perhaps?"
The two women gasped.
"That can't be!" They said.
"Tsk!, I don't have to deal with this myself." The sumo man turned around and started to walk away at a brisk pace.
"I would be leaving quickly if I was you!" He yelled without turning around.
"What a coward…" Zoro looked disappointed.
"Who was that?" Vivi asked.
"That was Urashima, a sumo wrestling champion from Bakura Town," Tsuru said.
"And a very nasty man…he asked me to marry him again. He won't leave me alone." Kiku said with disgust.
She then glanced at Vivi and Zoro.
"Thank you for saving my friend. Come inside, will serve you something to eat."
Vivi looked up a the woman named Kiku.
"Wow, you are huge…" She was easily three times the size of a normal girl.
"What was your name again?"
