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

Chapter 342 Reasons
In the southwest corner of Fenrir Island, in a rare uninhabited area... this is the animal cemetery.

A crystal tombstone stands quietly in the center of the place. No name is engraved on it, but its striking bright red color makes it the most dazzling presence in the surrounding gray and white tones.

Sunlight streamed down from the sky, refracting countless times within the sunlight, eventually outlining the image of a person—a fish-man with a hearty smile.

"'The dragon should return to the sea'... Are these his last words?"

Ra's fingers brushed across Bourfat's tombstone, but the touch from her fingertips wasn't as cold as she had imagined.

After all, it was materialized by Ossi using his own power. Although it looks like crystal, its essence is something even more incredible.

After listening quietly to Ossie recount the other person's last words behind her, Ra's expression did not change much.

"That's quite in line with his personality. It seems that Bourfat is quite accepting of his death."

"Yes, Uncle has always been a very open-minded person."

"...so open-minded that he could happily ramble on about random things in his suicide note."

Ossi took a few steps forward, coming to Ra's side, and looked at Bourfat, who was grinning in the tombstone.

That smile was the most profound impression that the fishman left on Osi.

“He said he wanted to return to the sea like a fish, so I didn’t bring his body back. He said he didn’t need any funeral, so I just quietly erected a tombstone for him.”

"He also said he wanted to see changes in me, so I've recently started learning how to dress and style myself..."

Even if someone is just a passerby in your life, even if you only spend a few short years together, the value of relationships between people is never determined by time.

Some people can live under the same roof their whole lives and still remain familiar strangers, while others only need a fleeting glance to become soulmates who entrust their souls to each other.

Although Bourfat and Ossi were not destined to be compatible, the years they spent together were enough for him to leave his mark on Ossi's heart.

"To be honest, I'm not good at these things..."

Ossie picked out her messy braids from her hair, shook them in front of her, and then smiled helplessly.

She spent a lot of effort unraveling it, preparing to re-weave it properly, but her clumsy technique still showed no improvement.

La watched, shook her head, and stepped forward to take over from Ossie to re-braid the braids... Ossie stood obediently in place, letting the other person do her hair.

Her silky red hair parted and intertwined at her fingertips, then converged again... like the winding tributaries of the Nile, which would eventually flow back into the great river, but on both banks, they nurtured a magnificent beauty of life.

Ossie continued speaking in a low voice:

“But even though I’m not good at it, I still want to do it. I want my changes to be proof that he existed.”

He said he was like a stone on the roadside, while I was like a star in the sky, beautiful and shining.

"Well, I don't think so at all..."

"But if that's what he thinks, then what's wrong with me shining a little brighter, as he wishes?"

The braids were done, and the skill in pulling them was quite good. The originally crooked braids were neatly arranged again. Not only that, she also gave Ossie a haircut.

The delicate braids are intricately intertwined and coiled, tied at the back of the head into an elegant and lively bun, showcasing the freshness and uniqueness of a young girl.

A departure from her usual casually loose or simply tied-up ponytail, this new hairstyle elevates Ossie's already ethereal气质 to a new level, radiating an unprecedented dazzling brilliance.

Elite 2 character art, get daze!!!

……

Three days later, the island remained peaceful until a rough dragon's roar startled the birds in the forest and the people on the street.

Kaido is back, carrying Queen in his dragon claws!

The round and chubby Quinn curled up in the dragon's claws, looking from a distance like a dragon pearl being held.

This "Big Boss," whom Kaido highly valued and offered a job to early on, apparently couldn't even enjoy a second-class seat and was forced to buy a standing ticket to come to the new company.

"Snapped!"

Before they had even fully landed, Kaido threw Queen to the ground and then turned to look at Wright, who was already waiting.

This is Kaido's habit; he always likes to explain everything as soon as he returns, before he has even transformed back into human form. Light and the others have also developed the habit of coming out to 'greet' him when they hear the dragon's roar.

The ferocious dragon's mouth opened, and then it spoke in human language:

"This guy will be one of our crew's 'Top Rank 1's from now on. Have someone make the arrangements." "Huh? Huh?"

Wright, still in a daze, hadn't quite reacted yet.

He glanced at Kaido, then at Queen, who was being thrown from the air and bouncing around like a ball...

Is this... this is a 'big billboard'?
No way?
Wasn't it said that the 'Big Boss' would be the highest-ranking officer in the pirate crew? Why is he being treated like this?

Like throwing away trash~

Kaido ignored the bewildered Wright and continued:

“This guy is barely a scientist. You can talk to that brat Obe and ask her to prepare something in the lab.”

"This guy's weaponry skills are quite useful."

Without waiting to see if Wright understood, he swung his body and walked away.

"Uh...got it."

Watching the figure rushing towards the banquet hall, Wright replied somewhat helplessly.

However, he still instructed his men to arrange accommodations for Quinn and prepare some necessities.

Let's arrange it next to Jin's... It's convenient that it's not far from where La and the others live, so they can visit each other more often.

He then took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed Ober's number.

"Hey, Miss Obey."

“It’s me… ah, no, Miss Ossie has gone mad again.”

"It's a new recruit that Kaido brought back. He said you should make some arrangements for him... No, no, he's not here to clean toilets, and he's not some kind of guinea pig."

"It's a proper department, uh..."

Wright glanced at Quinn lying on the ground. Quinn had suddenly sprang into the air, tumbling several times like a gymnast before landing in a rather flamboyant manner.

Wright: "..."

"He is a scientist."

……

Snapped!
The banquet hall doors were flung open, and Kaido strode in with a nonchalant air, then shouted:

"Bourfat, Bourfat!"

"Waaaaah! Where have you been?! Hurry up and get ready for the banquet!"

"This banquet must be a grand affair; bring out all the fine wines from the cellar!"

"No need to write a note, that guy will agree!"

"Ok?"

Kaido called out for a long time, but there was no response... The banquet hall was empty, not a single person was there.

La should have brought back the news that she has a child by now.

Normally, Bulfat would have already arranged a banquet and prepared the wine, and he could have just come back and started eating... Could it be that he's not on the island?

"Bourfat?"

Kaido called out again, and this time there was a response.

"Boss Kaido, you're back."

The voice came from behind. Osei had appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall at some point, probably having heard Kaido's voice and rushed over.

She whispered:

"No need to shout anymore..."

"Uncle Bourfat, he is no longer here."
