Infiltrating in Wano for the benefit of defeating Kaido was a must.

Kin'emon had suggested that you, along Robin, disguised yourselves as geishas, Robin with the purpose of trying to get information regarding Orochi, the Shogun, and you, to try and obtain direct information from the Beast Pirates.

It was an easy task, but you didn't anticipated that you'd be requested so frequently by the right hand of Kaido, King the Wildfire.

King, despite his closed-off and no-nonsense nature, had fallen in love, for the first and most likely, only time.

It didn't took him long to find out your real identity, though he didn't voiced it out yet, aware that, the moment he came out clean with the knowledge of it, it'll end.

He wanted to, at least, appreciate the moment a little bit more, while he could, because he knew, the Strawhats were up to no good, and that included you, regardless of how much his heart yearned for you.
