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

……

"Snow burial!"

Above a cliff, a figure with green hair and snow-white skin confronts a vulture with a wingspan of five meters.

Monet pushed his hands forward, and a huge white torrent surged from his hands, accompanied by a "whooshing" sound, rushing towards the vulture.

"just!!!"

The vulture braved the wind and snow, wanting to rush over and smash that little bitch to pieces.

Unfortunately, it didn't even last two seconds before it turned into an Articuno and was thrown off the cliff.

"Xiao Feng, Monet is probably the one among us who has made the fastest progress in developing her Devil Fruit abilities."

"After all, Monet only needs to train her Devil Fruit, unlike us who need to cultivate abilities, Haki, and physical fitness..."

Even without experiencing it firsthand, Kazan could roughly judge the extent to which Monet had developed the Snow-Snow Fruit.

This... it must be at least at the peak of the beginner level.

You're making really fast progress, little Monet!

Next up are Observation Haki and physical combat techniques.

"Alright, that's enough. Let's call Monet to go see the last little thing."

Chapter 014 You Are All My Wings

"Monet-chan~"

"Huh? Second Brother."

Monet flew over and landed gently on the ground, then tilted his body and saw Kazan standing in the shade of a tree.

"……elder brother."

Monet blushed, being very polite.

What are you red about?!

Kazan frowned as he looked at Monet, who was twisting her body somewhere. There wasn't much to see when a twelve-year-old girl twisted her body; Monet didn't have the devilish figure she would have later.

"Monet, elementalization."

"Huh? Oh."

No sooner had Monet finished speaking than Kazan unleashed a punch, hardened with armor.

Bang.

"...Ouch...Brother! It hurts!"

"Idiot! You can't even dodge a punch like that? What have you been doing for the past six months?!"

“…Waaaaah.”

凸 (艹皿艹).

Kazan glanced at Monet, who was lying on the ground sobbing uncontrollably, with a headache. Monet was crying so heartbrokenly that it was like the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.

Kazan shook his head, walked over and patted Monet's head: "However, considering you didn't know anything half a year ago, it's already amazing that you've developed your Devil Fruit to this extent. It seems you need to work harder."

Monet cautiously raised her head, looked pitifully at Kazan with teary eyes, then nodded gently and murmured softly, "Monet is cheering."

"Alright, get up and go check on the sugar."

"I need my brother to hug me before I can get up ┭┮﹏┭┮."

Monet stretched out her snow-white arms to Kazan, wanting a hug from her older brother.

"Pah! I won't tolerate you! Take it or leave it!"

"Waaaaah!!!"

……

Monet stared resentfully at the heartless man in front of her! She wanted nothing more than to pounce on him and bite him!

They bit him so badly he couldn't even stand up!

Just a little bit more!

Monet felt like he was grasping some ultimate secret! He was just a little bit away from having his older brother under his thumb!

Feng Kelei stood to one side, pondering the scene he had just witnessed, then secretly tried it out: "...Waaah~"

Compared to the two strange underlings following behind him, Kazan was the only serious player present.

He was currently contemplating his plan to become stronger.

Kazan's next priority is to improve his Dual Wielding level. He must advance from the Beginner Iron-Cutting Realm to the Intermediate Lv.4, reaching the Sword Master Realm where he can unleash flying slashes, before heading to the Grand Line. Moreover, as a level 35 Berserker, having only reached Lv.3 in Dual Wielding is simply too embarrassing; he'll get roasted if other Berserkers see it.

Armament Haki is also a key training area going forward, as it will be an important asset in dealing with Kuzan; the others will be secondary.

As for leveling up, Kazan will give up for now. Once he reaches level 35, most creatures in the world can no longer provide him with a considerable amount of experience. For example, creatures with bounties below 50 million and various common sea monsters can only provide him with a forced 1 point of experience.

The upgrade can only continue once we enter the Grand Line.

As for Bon Clay, it's quite simple: dual-color Haki and physical training. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll basically be left to deal with all the powerful opponents Kazan encounters in the North Blue on his own.

Monet, on the other hand, needs to master Observation Haki and develop it to an intermediate level. Then, she can use this to advance her training to elementalize herself in advance and develop the Snow-Snow Fruit to an intermediate level in order to avoid damage from Armament Haki attacks.

If Kazan is held back by a stronger enemy in the future, and there happens to be another Logia-type Devil Fruit user on the other side, then Monet will need to buy some time, since Bon Clay doesn't have any ranged attack methods, and he hasn't even mastered Armament Haki.

"call……"

After figuring out his plan, Kazan nodded and gave himself a thumbs up.

"Quack!"

"Tsk."

Snapped.

Before even seeing anyone, Kazan could already hear a childish voice coming from a small riverbank.

This little thing.

Kazan arrived at the riverbank and looked at Sugar swimming in the shallow water, feeling a bit of a headache.

Little Sugar is already four years old.

However, he still can't pronounce "brother" clearly, but he can now complete regular running smoothly.

For the past six months, Kazan, Bon Clay, and Monet have taken turns caring for Sugar, teaching him to speak, run, and use the toilet.

It now seems that his older brother was the worst teacher.

"Hey, you little rascal, are you doing this on purpose?"

Kazan walked into the river, picked up the little Sugar who was splashing around, and gently pinched her little face.

Sugar didn't listen to anything Kazan was saying, didn't pull away from Kazan's big hand, and then snuggled into Kazan's arms and fell asleep.

Falling asleep fastest in Guagua's arms!

Kazan rubbed Sugar's little bottom, then said to the two behind him, "Let's go, it's time to set off. Once we find another companion, it'll be about time to form a pirate crew."

"You'll have to deal with the enemies you encounter next on your own. I won't be involved."

"Hmph, I don't need your help! *sobs*"

"Hehe, let my little sister handle those henchmen."

Before setting off again, the three of them split up to find a lot of wild animals and fruits and brought them onto the ship as food for the next period of time, since land animals are slightly tastier than marine animals.

The three of them didn't spend much time finding food. After all, they had lived on the island for more than half a year, finding their own food and cooking for themselves to survive. They knew the location of different foods.

"set off!"

……

"Life on the high seas is so incredibly boring!"

"Oh, is this the news? A newspaper, please!"

Kazan lay on his bed, leisurely eating fruit and reading the news reports in the newspaper.

As he watched, his expression gradually turned grim.

[The Devil's Child, Nico Robin of 79 million Berries, has appeared on Huttonmar Island in the West Blue.]

The princess of Alabasta has been born.

"Robin...were you looking for me?"

"Brother... what are you doing? Do you know this girl?"

Kazan glanced at Monet, who was approaching with a cup of homemade green tea, and then nodded slightly: "Um, this is... my sister."

"ha???!!!"

Why are you making such a fuss?

"I...she's your sister, so what am I!"

"You are my little sister."

"...Brother...which is more important, your younger sister or your little sister?"

"You are all important; you are all my wings."

"...You big idiot! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Kazan watched Monet's retreating figure, gritting his teeth as he walked away, and instead of feeling puzzled or annoyed, he found it rather amusing.

This was the first time he had ever seen Monet, who respected him so much, speak to him so loudly.

It's quite novel.

"Hmm... with Robin, that makes five people, perfect for forming a pirate crew!"

"However... if Kuzan catches us, we'll be wiped out."

“I don’t have that kind of connection with Garp, and Kuzan doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would consider Saul’s relationship with me in this matter.”
