Big brother, I want to become the strongest pirate in the world!

The town, which was peaceful and quiet for only a few seconds, suddenly became a living hell.

"Ah, so that's how it is. An unknown Devil Fruit has appeared here, and the news has even been released."

"Hmm, no wonder so many pirate crews have suddenly appeared in such a remote place. But what is the Donquixote Family? Are they very powerful?"

“Very impressive. Their status in Beihai is equivalent to our public status in Xihai.”

"So he's the strongest in the North Sea?"

"Hmm... We can't handle the head of the Donquixote family. Let's find a place to hide first and wait until they get the Devil Fruit and leave."

With a dark expression, Kazan led Bon Clay through the chaotic crowd until they entered a quiet, secluded alleyway, where they finally stopped.

"What's wrong, Kazan? You don't look well."

"Hmm... I underestimated Don Quixote's influence and control in the North Sea at this stage... I thought they would keep a low profile."

"I don't understand."

"Think about what those pirates were saying earlier. The Donquixote family has basically monopolized all the Devil Fruits in the North Blue, to the point that Devil Fruits are almost as rare as they are in the East Blue. Otherwise, those pirates wouldn't have gone crazy like that when they saw an unknown variety of Devil Fruit."

"Oh...I see. So what?"

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you."

As Kazan was pondering something, the sound of a child crying suddenly came from the depths of the alley behind him.

The sound was like thunder in the quiet alley, and the footsteps coming from outside the alley constantly indicated that the place had been exposed.

Kazan and Bon Clay turned their heads at the same time, looking at the two small figures deep in the alley.

A little girl with green hair and covered in dirt is holding a tiny little girl with the same green hair in her arms.

The little girl frantically covered her mouth with her hand, hugged her tightly, and looked tremblingly at the back of Kazan and Bon Clay. Several blood-soaked men carrying weapons and grinning menacingly walked in.

Finished!

The little girl hugged her younger sister tightly, feeling both desperate and guilty.

She was desperate because she felt that she and her sister were going to die there.

The guilt stemmed from the fact that his sister's cries had attracted the pirates, resulting in the deaths of two other boys who were also hiding in the alley.

Will they resent Sugar...? Don't hate her, she's just a baby.

Resent Monet, perhaps.

Monet raised his head and looked at the backs of the two boys blocking his way with his tear-filled eyes.

The boy at the front spoke quietly without turning his head, a sentence that reached Monet's ears and made her feel somewhat at ease.

The little girl Sugar stopped crying.

“From today onwards, I am your elder brother. As long as I am alive, you will be safe.”

"In my name, let us revel in this vast ocean."

"My name is Kazan, the future... strongest in the world."

"what!"

Kazan stared at Monet as she slowly walked back, mimicking Whitebeard and saying something very sophisticated.

First impressions are very important; I must establish the image of a "dignified older brother"!

Kazan silently gave himself a thumbs up in his mind.

Monet watched as the figure with a knife emerged from amidst severed limbs and dripping blood. His heart skipped a beat, his breath caught in his throat, and the next moment, biting his lip, he held back his tears and nodded gently.

Sugar, nestled in Monet's arms, sucked on a finger while gazing at the tall figure before her with eyes full of stars.

"Xiao Feng, put the extra cloaks on them."

"I know without you saying it."

Bon Clay took a large black cloak from his backpack and wrapped it around Monet's head.

Because the capes were bought according to their height, they looked very large on Monet.

However, coiling it up would perfectly conceal the sugar in her arms.

Monet looked curiously at the equally tall Bon Clay, but she couldn't feel safe from him, so as soon as she stood up, she hugged Sugar and leaned close to Kazan.

"Holy crap, look at this, Xiao Feng!"

"...Meow...Holy crap!"

"Quick, grab it and run!"

"I know, don't rush me, don't rush me."

After Bon Clay took the white fruit that had been hidden behind Monet, he quickly ran away with Kazan.

On the run.

"...Then...what is that?"

Following Kazan, Monet looked at the white fruit that Bon Clay had hidden tightly inside his cloak and asked curiously.

"That's a Devil Fruit... These pirates came here because of this."

Kazan whispered something in Monet's ear, then, finding Monet too slow, tossed the knife to Bon Clay, picked Monet up, and ran off with her.

Oh, and there's also Sugar huddled inside Monet's cloak.

Monet held his younger sister, burying his dirty little face in the arms of the man who said he wanted to be his "big brother," and felt very safe.

The surrounding area was filled with cries, wails, and roars.

Gunshots, the sound of knives clashing, and the sound of houses collapsing.

At this point, it seemed like none of it concerned her anymore.

Dad said... my sister and I will always find people who are willing to protect us.

Mom said...my sister and I will have our own place to belong someday.

"So... it's you?"

Kazan heard Monet's murmur, but he had no intention of responding.

Time will tell her the answer.

Although there's only one answer, you can take your time to confirm it.

Kazan glanced at the fragile little girl, then looked back at the small town that had been reduced to a sea of ​​fire.

"Is this beginning... a stroke of luck or a misfortune?"

"Kazan, our small cargo ship is just ahead."

"Why bother with a small boat? Just rob that medium-sized pirate sailboat over there. You've already learned how to steer, haven't you?"

"You're just ordering me around!"

Leave the knife behind.

Kazan glanced at Bon Clay, who had jumped onto the pirate ship. There should be quite a few pirate henchmen on that ship.

However, that level of difficulty was no challenge for Bon Clay, so Kazan wasn't worried and instead stayed below the ship.

Along the way, the two mysterious figures wearing black cloaks clearly attracted the attention of many dogs.

"You all stay here and behave yourselves."

Kazan placed Monet on the ground, then drew Darkmoon, waved it casually, and turned to charge towards the pirates who had followed him.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"This level of strength is definitely not from some unknown nobody."

"Who is this?"

"This knife looks familiar."

Without wasting words, Kazan killed all the people who had followed him.

"Kazan, get on board! We're setting sail."

Kazan heard Bon Clay's voice, turned around, and saw the ship gradually moving away from the shore.

He calmly glanced around, and after confirming there were no survivors, he turned around, grabbed Monet, and jumped onto the ship's ladder.

……

Right at the alleyway where Monet was just now.

"Dover, we've searched the entire island, but there's no Devil Fruit at all."

Who leaked the information?

"Could it have been taken by someone else first?"

"Fufufufu, it's okay, it's just a Devil Fruit that I've never even seen before."

Doflamingo glanced at the severed limbs in the alley next door, frowned, and then left with his chattering family.

Although Doflamingo said it was okay, the incident truly disgusted him.

If someone takes it, find it and kill them.

If you've been scammed, find out who it is and kill them.

……

maritime.

"You don't need to do this... I didn't save you just to find a maid."

Kazan looked at Monet, who was serving him tea and water and peeling apples for him, and felt a little uncomfortable.
