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

"Huh? You're the one who's been exposed, you idiot! How could someone as strange as you not be noticed?"

"But that kid has been calling your name the whole time lately!"

"It's all because your identity was exposed that that kid connected it to me! Stop talking nonsense, it's definitely your fault!"

"Nonsense, it's not me..."

Duang.

Bong Clay clutched a large bump on his head, staring incredulously at Kazan's iron fist.

"You actually hit me for some stranger?!"

"you shut up!"

"Love will fade..."

Duang!

"Bro...that kid is so annoying, can't we just kill him?"

Monet glanced at Bon Clay, who was lying unconscious in the corner with his buttocks sticking out, and then asked Kazan softly.

"Monet, you're a girl, how can you be so murderous? When did you develop this kind of personality?"

"Ugh...Does Brother prefer Monet to be a little more soft-hearted?"

“Emmm… It’s fine to treat enemies like this, but I still hope that Monet can be more like a girl, a well-behaved and gentle little sister.”

"I see... Monet understands."

"As for that kid... let's wait and see, let him cool off for a while. I have some ideas about him."

"Will he...be our future family?"

"Let's see if Doflamingo will take him in."

"Every time he challenges you, he shouts that Doflamingo is the strongest. Does he really admire Doflamingo that much?"

"Actually, he didn't admire him that much. After all, they probably hadn't even met each other yet. It was just that what he heard made him feel that following Doflamingo would be more promising."

"Hmph! What a liar! I clearly have far more potential than Doflamingo!"

"After all, my influence in the North Sea is weaker, and Doflamingo is indeed stronger than me now."

Kazan remained seated in the tavern.

After dealing with those thugs, Kazan and his group spent another week here, taking down every single gang on the island.

Kazan is now undoubtedly the strongest gang leader on this island!

However, there was always a young, blond-haired brat who was oblivious to his own mortality and came to challenge Kazan. Kazan would always take him down with a chopstick or a cup.

The kid called himself "Bellamy".

A petty thug who pretends to admire Doflamingo attempts to take Kazan's head as a gift to join the Donquixote Family and become a member of the family.

Kazan remembered the character Bellamy, a guy who idolized Doflamingo. Later, Bellamy's idolization of Doflamingo was almost equal to Bartolomeo's idolization of Luffy, except that the former idolized Luffy in Dressrosa.

Kazan deduced that Bellamy at this stage has not yet reached the level of worship he had for Doflamingo in the original series. Bellamy probably only began to worship Doflamingo more and more after he started flying the Donquixote Family's pirate flag.

So now Kazan wants to poach Bellamy. The kid's performance has been pretty good. Although he was defeated by Luffy with one punch twice in a row, his loyal fanboy image towards Doflamingo is something Kazan is quite envious of.

"Tsk, I'm not waiting for you anymore, or we'll be in big trouble if Doflamingo shows up. Monet, get ready, we're setting sail for the nearest naval branch."

"Huh? Bro, weren't we going to form a pirate crew?! Did we just walk right into the Navy branch's doorstep?"

"Let's not even talk about whether the North Sea Navy branch can deal with us. We haven't formed a pirate crew yet; we're just a bunch of ordinary kids."

"...Then what are we going to the naval branch for?"

"Go and seize a warship."

"Why would we need to seize warships? We have enough ships now."

"We're going to the Western Sea soon, and we'll need to cross the Doldrums. Naval warships with sea stone in their hulls are essential for us to cross the sea; without them, we can't cross the Doldrums."

"Seastone... such a precious thing, it's impossible for an ordinary naval branch to have a warship with that kind of resources."

"...Your words have reminded me that we still need to find a naval branch with decent conditions and status. Of course, waiting for a warship to arrive in the doldrums is also a viable option, but we might not even be able to wait until we die."

Kazan rubbed his temples and took out a bounty poster.

Nico Robin, the "Devil's Child".

"Tsk... Bro~~ I want papaya milk, buy it for me."

Monet leaned over to look at the bounty poster in Kazan's hand, pouted, and then shoved her head into Kazan's arms, acting all cute.

Kazan glanced at the coquettish Monet, who was becoming more and more like a younger sister.

At first, she served him very carefully, but now she has learned to act cute and throw tantrums.

Kazan was only pleased with this change in Monet. The fact that Monet would show this side of himself in front of him showed that Monet was gradually treating him as family and as an older brother.

As a good older brother, Kazan tried his best to soothe Monet's little tantrum. He put away Robin's bounty poster and then ordered three large cups of papaya milk for Monet.

"Give me a drink, or I'll spank you."

Kazan stared at Monet, a cold smile on his face.

As Kazan stared at him, Monet's face gradually turned red. Recalling the spanking his brother had given him a few days ago because of Bellamy, his whole body began to twist, and an abnormal flush appeared on his skin.

"What are you doing, twisting your ass?"

Kazan slapped Monet's little butt.

"Yah~"

"...Monet, I suspect you've awakened some strange attribute; this is demonic and heretical! You must stop! You can't go any further!"

Kazan saw Monet's delicate body tremble and panicked. Realizing something, he reached out and pressed his hands on Monet's shoulders with a dark expression, and said in a gloomy tone.

"Brother... Monet... can never go back."

Monet's eyes glazed over, and his body went limp as he collapsed into Kazan's arms, panting heavily.

Kazan turned pale with fright. Oh no, Monet's masochistic tendencies seem to be quite severe!

"Monet, I swear, I will never hit you again! It's all my fault! That's why you've become like this."

"Brother...it's not your fault...Monet liked it this way."

Kazan looked at his little sister's flushed face, his body trembled, and two lines of clear tears streamed down his blood-red eyes.

"Monet!"

"elder brother!"

"Monet!"

"elder brother!"

"Hey, that's enough, I'm about to throw up."

Just as Kazan and Monet were gazing deeply into each other's eyes, engaging in a profound emotional exchange, an untimely yet perfectly timed voice shattered the flamboyant orthopedic atmosphere.

"Alright, enough talk, let's get going."

"Second brother...do you know how cold snowflakes can get?"

Foncrat huddled in a corner, trembling. Looking at Monet, who had transformed into a demon, he felt incredibly insignificant, like a seashell.

……

"What! That guy's already gone?! Damn it!"

The stubborn blond-haired kid slammed his fist on the bar counter, his face filled with extreme resentment and anger.

Bellamy knows!

Who is that man?

He saw the man make his move the first time they met!

The ghostly hand hidden beneath the cloak!

Kazan the Red Dog.

The strongest bounty hunter in the West Sea.

Chapter 017 Making Don Quixote a Whetstone

Trembling Island, it's still that same tavern.

"I'm different from those ordinary people!"

"Let me join you!"

Bellamy stared fervently at the figure with his back to him, struggling to suppress the excitement within him.

"What makes you different? Hey hey... you just survived a few beatings from a few pirates. They never intended to kill you, yet you kept provoking them. I don't think you're very bright, are you?"

Doflamingo didn't speak; instead, a snotty-nosed man standing next to him, holding a golden cane, spoke first.

"I...they are..."

“We, the Don Quixote family…do not accept failed wretches.”

The tall man sitting on the other side of Doflamingo spoke again. The man didn't look at Bellamy once from beginning to end, but just waved his knight's sword.

"Let's go."

Bellamy was still unwilling to give up and was about to speak when the words "Doflamingo" made him feel like he had fallen to the bottom.

Bellamy remained silent until Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family left. From the last glance Doflamingo gave him as he departed, Bellamy felt that if he spoke another word, he might be killed.

call.

call.

Bellamy snapped out of his daze, drenched in sweat. He slumped into a chair next to him, stunned.

a long time.

Bellamy, who had stood up again, had eyes as still as a pool of water. He pulled a bounty poster out of his pants.
