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

Nami, clutching the necklace in both hands, stared at Kazan with teary eyes and asked a soft, coquettish question.

"Nojiko, Nami, what are your dreams?"

Kazan didn't answer Nami's question directly, but instead pulled the two girls close and asked them seriously.

"I... want to become a chef who can cook all ingredients."

"I want to draw a world nautical chart!"

Seeing the two girls' serious expressions, Kazan nodded: "In that case, you'll both be going to sea sooner or later! In that case, let's meet again on the high seas."

"Ok!"

"Ok!"

Chapter 147 Marching Towards the Grand Line!

The monster family set off again. Before setting sail, Nami and Nojiko barely shed a tear, but when the Colosseum disappeared from their sight, they finally let go of the tears they had been holding back and burst into tears.

"Oh dear, my two silly daughters."

Bellemere took her two sobbing daughters into her arms and gently patted their backs.

The question Kazan asked Nojiko and Nami just now reminded her of the question Kazan had asked her privately a couple of days ago.

"What do you plan to do after Nojiko and Nami leave Cocoyasi Village?"

Bellemere did not answer Kazan's question at the time because she herself did not know.

However, as Kazan later said, there is still plenty of time, and she can think about it slowly.

In the East Sea, Kazan and his group headed straight for Reverse Mountain; this time, they wouldn't linger.

With ample supplies, let's head straight for the Grand Line!

……

North Sea.

Bang!

Why you?

Doflamingo stared expressionlessly at the figure who had fallen to the ground after being shot by him.

Bang bang!

Two more shots were fired.

My... younger brother.

Doflamingo had one hand in his pocket, his eyes hidden behind sunglasses, and a group of Don Quixote Family executives standing behind him.

No one noticed the bulging veins on Doflamingo's hands and his furrowed brows, nor did anyone realize that Doflamingo was using an unfamiliar gun instead of his own strings, and that all three shots missed Rosinante's vital points.

They were only focused on the fact that Doflamingo had personally killed his own younger brother, which further solidified his ambition and aptitude to become king.

Doflamingo looked at the dying Rosinante on the ground, turned around and walked towards the ship, with the Donquixote Family's executives following closely behind, preparing to leave.

If the navy had arrived in time, Rosinandi might have had a chance to survive.

For Doflamingo, has he truly let go... or is it just buried deep in his heart?

Rosinandi lay in the snow, his blood quickly staining the snow-covered earth red. Feathers from his black coat scattered in the air, falling one by one into the snowflakes.

Not yet.

Hearing the lingering footsteps in his ears, Rosinandi struggled to open his eyes, which he was trying to close.

I... cannot die.

With his last bit of strength, he turned his head and looked at a box not far away.

If I die now, the magic cast on you will disappear, and your voice and sounds will echo throughout the entire island.

Inside the box, a little boy, his skin pale and his face streaked with tears, crawled out, silently sobbing as he wiped away his unstoppable tears.

The small figure, draped in a cloak, looked lonely and pitiful in the snow and ice, yet also like a bird that had just learned to fly, soaring into the free sky.

[Hurry! Luo! Silently, so no one notices...far, far away!]

No one can hold you back anymore.

Neither the Iron Kingdom borders of Whitetown nor your fleeting life can restrain you.

【Ha...you've already...】

[...I'm free...]

……

The Grand Line, on a certain island of eternal night.

Gecko Moria's figure wandered through patch after patch of shadow, carrying a large sword made from the shadow of some unknown creature, with the strange three-headed dog still following behind him.

"Hehehehe... That's enough, come out now."

As he walked to a certain corner, Gecko Moria tilted his head and looked behind a wall.

A group of people emerged from there, grinning maliciously: "Moria, we heard your strength has declined significantly."

"So, you think you can kill me?"

Before anyone knew it, Gecko Moria's shadow had appeared behind the group, also wielding a large sword made of shadow. As Gecko Moria spoke, he slashed horizontally with the sword.

A group of people were cut in half at the waist.

Gecko Moria didn't even glance at the group and walked straight towards the shore.

Having heard that there was a highly skilled surgeon in the West Sea, Gecko Moria decided to go and check him out.

He recently collected several high-quality corpses, but they still need to be stitched up and repaired.

……

On the Red Earth Continent, a group of giant snails, resembling castles, are constantly crawling downwards. Once they reach the bottom, they will enter the territory of the East Sea.

The snails also had the 'Derma 66' logo printed on them.

Undoubtedly, this symbol signifies that this is the evil army of the infamous Vinsmoke family, a notorious murderous clan in the underworld, who once directly ruled the entire North Sea for 66 days by force.

In terms of deterrence in the North Sea, the Vinsmoke family, with its three-hundred-year history, clearly surpasses Doflamingo's Donquixote family, as the latter can empower ordinary people with great strength through various high-tech equipment.

Inside the castle on the back of a giant snail, a little girl with pink curly eyebrows stood in front of a cage, talking to a blond boy with curly eyebrows who was imprisoned inside wearing a helmet.

As the blond boy listened to his older sister's words, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his tired eyes.

This is his only chance to pursue his dreams and escape this hell!

The little girl looked at the look in her brother's eyes. She was the one who looked radiant and beautiful, while her brother was the one who looked disheveled and dirty, but she felt a little envious.

Having feelings but no freedom might be even more painful.

……

The monster pirate crew, sailing straight across the sea, is troubled by something.

That is the symbol representing Tiga.

The Monster Family has always had the habit of adding a new design to their pirate flag each time a new member joins.

Kotiga is an exception.

Because he had nothing that could define him, and even less of a dream.

At first, Kazan thought there was still plenty of time and there was no rush, so he didn't urge Tiga.

But now, they're about to enter the Grand Line, and Tiga hasn't even said a word yet, so Kazan is starting to get anxious.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you even going to make it?"

"..."

Kazan was worried when he saw Tiga's clueless and childlike appearance.

"……this."

Tiga finally reacted, raising his steel sword to show Kazan.

Kazan frowned and considered for a moment. The first symbol that came to his mind was a sword, but then he felt that a sword was too ordinary, and since there were already two katana stuck in his skull, it might feel a little repetitive.

However, judging from Tiga's appearance, perhaps a sword would be a good choice.

After all, Tiga is simply a swordsman, and nothing suits him better than a sword. While Kazan is also a swordsman, however…

His weapon is a sword, and he also possesses the power of the Iron-Steel Fruit and blood energy.

"Then let's use the sword!"

The pirate flag has been improved once again. This time, a fluorescent green sword has been added to the symbol surrounding the blood-eyed skull.

Represents Tija.

Chapter 148 Encounter with Germa 66

"Kazan, there's a small island about a mile to the right. It looks like it's inhabited. Shall we go check it out?"

"No, let's continue towards Upside Down Mountain."

Kazan glanced in the direction Bon Clay was pointing, then continued lying on the deck, staring blankly at the snow falling in the sky.

He was thinking about the weapons of Bellamy and Akin. The former's Black Rhino Armor had not been modified to a very useful level so far, and he hoped that the latter's Yaksha Kazan could be given some special effects.

However, it's not that easy to do, because it requires not only good enough materials, but also relevant technical knowledge.

For example, what special materials can be combined with steel to make Armament Haki generate static electricity when it rubs against the air?

Currently, Kazan only knows one combination that he stumbled upon by sheer luck, which allows weapons to generate flames when they are imbued with Armament Haki and rub against the air.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have any real effect; it just looks a little cool.

Sniff.

There was a strong smell of steel in the air.
