Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 175 The dragon raises its head

The first month after the New Year always slips away quietly without people noticing.

It is now the second day of February.

Although it is said that the dragon raises its head on February 2, it has no meaning here.

After all, the calendar of this world is not the lunar calendar, and the starry sky above is very different from that on Earth. If you can't see the Jiao star rising in the east, there is no such thing as "the dragon raising its head".

But as a substitute, our Osi smiled and raised her head whenever she met someone today... This made everyone in the pirate group puzzled, and many people speculated whether she had a stiff neck last night.

"Hey Ossie, what's wrong with you today? Is your neck uncomfortable?"

Burfat looked at Ossi's head moving up and down like a tumbler and asked with some concern.

He was currently teaching a group of children Fishman Karate.

"It's okay. Today is a special day, so I'll share some of the joy with you."

"Who are these children?"

Osi put his hands behind his back and asked in a conscientious tone, like a superior leader inspecting him.

The children she was talking about looked a bit mixed, the oldest one was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest one was about the same age as her.

At first glance, these children all look thin, obviously they are not well nourished.

But this was obviously not what Osi wanted to ask. Compared with their age and nutritional status, the appearance of these children was obviously more eye-catching.

This is a group of murlocs, and they are real murlocs from Fishman Island.

"They..."

Burfat hugged his chest, looked at the fish-men children who, although their movements were a little deformed, still tried their best to persevere and did not stop, and said with a smile:

"Didn't I go back to Fishman Island before? I brought these children back from Fishman Street."

"They are all orphans with no one to rely on. I plan to teach them murloc karate so they can make a living here in the future."

"I've already discussed this with La, and she's agreed to allocate some money specifically for this matter."

Looking at this group of fish-men imps who were small in stature but had stubborn faces, Burfat seemed to see his former self.

Now that he has made some name for himself in the New World, he wants to help these kids.

After all, if you stay in a place like Fishman Street, even if you are lucky enough not to starve to death, you will eventually be assimilated by the rotten environment.

It's too difficult for a child to get out of there on his own.

"So that's why you sneaked up on Sister La that day?"

After Burfat's reminder, Ossi also remembered that this guy had indeed been hesitating and lingering at the door of La's office for a long time.

There's no way. If I go to Kaido about this, he may not agree.

Spending a lot of money specifically to raise a child is not something a pirate group should do.

This kind of investment project, which takes a long time, costs a lot, and has unknown returns, is completely incompatible with the pirates' quick and easy style of action.

After all, pirate members can be recruited at any time, right?

It is not cost-effective to leave the ready-made combat power and not spend money to train it yourself.

At least that's the case from a pirate's perspective.

But from La's perspective, she had no reason to refuse this proposal.

It would be better to say that when she was planning the internal divisions of the pirate group, she had deliberately set up an Education Department to be responsible for this matter.

Now, Beasts is developing from an ordinary pirate group to a national-level armed force, so it is crucial to have its own talent training system.

The existence of a talent training department can ensure that the backbone of a force can be replenished anytime and anywhere, and these self-cultivated talents also have significant advantages in quality and loyalty compared to those joining from outside.

……

"Yeah, I was so nervous at the time, afraid she wouldn't agree...but I didn't expect her to agree right away."

"And with a wave of his hand, he directly appointed a rough man like me who can barely read as the Minister of Education." Bourfat smiled bitterly, never expecting that the paper ball he had thrown out earlier would hit him right between the eyebrows again.

"But luckily, she found a guy from the Internal Affairs Team to be my deputy, saying that she wanted to teach these children to read and write at the same time. This is really..."

Since we are determined to cultivate our own talents, we naturally cannot neglect any aspect. As the saying goes, "we must grasp both hands and make both hands strong."

"Hehe~ Sister La is not as short-sighted as others."

"Besides, I can see the benefits of this kind of thing. Only a guy like Kaido, who is all about brawn, would find it troublesome to refuse."

After several months of sparring, Osi has completely equated Kaido with a muscular reckless man in his mind. Once fighting, he goes berserk and doesn't care about anything else.

Although La said that the other party was actually a rough but delicate person, she didn't feel it at all. All she did now was look at the mace that was thicker than her own.

Just as Osi curled his lips and was about to leave with his head held high, the familiar laughter appeared again.

"Wooo-ha-ha-ha! Ossi kid, I'm looking for you!"

"Why are you looking for me? Are you going to practice again?"

"I won't be practicing for now. I'm getting a little tired of fighting you for so long."

"Heh~ Same here, I'm already tired of you."

Ossie rolled his eyes.

After all, she wasn't trying to achieve any achievements. She had been fighting the same BOSS over and over again so many times that she was already sick of it.

There is no need for any Observation Haki now. These two people can know each other's next move just by raising their hands. They have memorized the moves.

"Okay, enough of the small talk."

"I'm here to inform you that the old woman's birthday is coming soon. You can get ready to leave."

"Which old woman? What's her birthday?"

Ossi was a little unresponsive for a moment.

"That old woman, Charlotte Lingling. Didn't I tell you she planned to celebrate the founding of the nation on the same day as her birthday?"

"It's only half a month away from that old woman's birthday. You can prepare to leave for Totland."

"Ah? Are we going now? Isn't it too early?"

Osi wondered, after all, looking at the distance on the nautical chart, they could reach the destination in just over ten minutes by flying, so there was really no need to set off half a month in advance.

"It's getting late. Although I'm taking you two with me, we still have to bring other people along, and we also have to prepare gifts."

This time, Osi really thought it was too simple. It was impossible for each force to just send one or two people to such a major ceremony as the founding of the nation.

Although Big Mom is a pirate and may not have as many rules as other legitimate kingdoms, the most basic delegation configuration and gifts and cash still need to be arranged.

Moreover, before departure, we have to contact Wanguo in advance so that they can arrange the berthing location and accommodation for the personnel in advance.

"You can't fly there directly this time. You must take a ship with your entourage and enter the Wan Kingdom."

"Oh~ What a hassle~"

After hearing so many things, Osi didn't want to go anymore.

"You don't need to worry about these. Your sister has already arranged everything. You just need to follow her."

"Oh~"

Ossie nodded.

"But since Sister La has already made all the arrangements, why did you come to me? Just to tell me something?"

"Hehe~ Of course not. I came to you because I have a mission for you."

Kaido suddenly smiled strangely, then pulled Osi aside and began to whisper something to her.
