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

"Hehehe, I've lived on the sea for so long, and this is the first time I've ever heard of this symptom. It's so scary."

"Yes, I was also startled when I first met him."

"Is it scary? It's alright, I don't have any symptoms."

"It's not scary at all. I used quite a bit of force to press down on it, and not only was your arm completely fine, but it also gave me the feeling that it might break free."

"Exactly, and this is with a limiter on. I can't even imagine what you would be like if you took it off."

"That does seem pretty scary. Don't worry, I won't take it off. See, nothing happened this time."

A huge man and two little ones sat on the beach, looking at the sea and chatting.

It was mostly Robin talking to Saul about Kazan's situation.

Kazan responded casually, as he was analyzing the changes in his combat strength.

The level increased by two, but no new skills were learned.

However, both strength and stamina have increased by one level, and the prefix "enhanced" has been added before "Kazan of the Blade Soul". It is unclear how much Kazan has been enhanced, but in the game, adding an enhancement is a significant boost.

Most importantly, the passive ability has been expanded to include the Steel Fruit. Is the Steel Fruit even considered a passive ability?

Or was it placed there to display the level?

That's not that important.

In short, Kazan is getting a bit cocky now; he thinks he can dominate the West Sea right now.

For the next two weeks, Kazan sparred with Saul every day, but only to test the power of the Iron-Steel Fruit; he didn't actually show off his dual-wielding skills.

Robin also talked a lot with Saul about things on the high seas.

The three of them developed a good relationship.

"I'm going out to sea."

"Huh?!?!"

"Hehehe, Robin, don't be so surprised. Kazan will definitely set sail. After all, his dream is to become the strongest in the world. But isn't it a bit too early? You're only a few years old."

"It's getting late, I have to go."

Kazan looked at the sea; he sensed the Buster Call was imminent.

"Would you like to come with me?"

"No, I don't want to drift on the sea anymore."

In reality, Saul was just afraid that his identity would bring Kazan trouble that he couldn't handle.

"Robin, come with me."

Robin stood to the side with her head down, not saying a word, her body trembling, a few tears falling from her face into the sand.

Kazan and Saul both saw it, but neither of them said anything more.

Separation is a common occurrence in this world, so there's no need to say too much about it.

Three more days passed, and Robin did not come to the shore during those three days.

Kazan leaned against a small wooden boat, quietly waiting for Robin's arrival.

Sure enough, Robin finally arrived. Saul walked into the woods, giving the two siblings some space.

"What will I do if you leave?"

"What do you mean, what should we do? Aren't there the members of the Tree of Omniscience? And Saul is with you too. He's stronger than me and can protect you for now."

"You're my brother! You can't abandon me!"

Since you call me brother, then I'll truly consider myself your brother. So I need to go out to sea to become stronger, and only when I'm strong enough can I return to your side to protect you.

Kazan ruffled Robin's hair, then looked at the innocent, pitiful little girl with a wry smile.

"Robin, I'm asking you, are you willing to leave your family at the Tree of All Knowledge and come with me? You still want to see your mother one more time, don't you?"

"...Don't go...Brother..."

Kazan gently patted Robin's head. He couldn't stay here, and if Robin didn't want to leave, then he would have to leave. Fortunately... as a transmigrator, Kazan knew that Robin would at least survive.

If it's just you alone, Kuzan will definitely let you go, but if it's just the two of us, we'll both die.

As for your mother and everyone on the Tree of Omniscience.

not my business.

……

Robin watched the small boat drift away, tears streaming down her face. Suddenly, the figure on the boat turned around and yelled at her.

"Robin, your birth must be an incredibly happy thing for me! So no matter what happens in the future, never doubt your own existence!"

Everyone gets their chance to shine! Sooner or later, you'll have your moment in the spotlight!

"You are the most special person to me! You must live a good life!"

After Kazan finished shouting, he sat on the small boat and covered his face. Robin's figure was no longer visible; all that could be seen was Saul's big guy on the shore.

I wonder if Robin heard it.

The coast of Ohara.

Everyone gets their chance to shine.

Sauro stared blankly at the small boat as it gradually disappeared.

Robin Duck sat on the ground, wiping away his tears with his hands while making a strange "tai-lei-xi" laugh.

……

"Sigh, we already knew that Robin wouldn't have any problems."

"But I'm still so worried."

"Robin is about to suffer."

"But with me around, I should be able to avoid suffering for another ten years or so."

Kazan leaned against the edge of the small boat, looking at his silvery-white right hand and then at his scarlet left hand.

It seems that Soul Reaper won the battle inside Kazan earlier.

The Iron-Steel Fruit cannot be used inside the Demon Hand; it can only be lightly applied to a thin layer of skin on the surface.

However, the entire right arm can be completely transformed into a steel arm.

That's really bad news.

Kazan had originally thought he might be able to use the Iron-Steel Fruit to suppress the Sword Soul Kazan.

However, this is just one possible approach. If the Berserker path cannot be awakened in the future, perhaps the awakening of the Steel Fruit can have some impact on the Soul Blade.

The Berserker path is relatively simple; you just need to kill monsters and level up.

He can only rely on his own development and efforts to make the Steel Fruit useful. So far, apart from turning his body into a steel part and objects into steel, he hasn't thought of any good uses for it.

Let's try to make our whole body as tough as steel first.

boom!

Splash!

Kazan tilted his head to the side and looked at the rat-headed sea monster that had suddenly jumped out.

"Is Ohara even this weak as a coastal power? It can't compare to Windmill Village at all."

With that, Kazan jumped off the ship, grabbed the black sword with one hand, and swung it forward from bottom to top.

[Ground Crack Wave Slash: Quickly unleashes a wave of sword energy forward, knocking enemies back and causing them to fall to the ground.]

Kazan certainly wouldn't dare use this move while standing on the ship, for fear of cracking it open. After all, he's a Devil Fruit user and can't fly.

"Tsk, no matter how you look at it, neither the Red Eyes Fruit nor the Iron-Steel Fruit seems like it could give someone the ability to fly."

Kazan landed gently on the ship and continued to lean against it, not even glancing at the rat-like sea monster from before.

The increasingly strong smell of blood in his nose told him the outcome.

The veins in the ghost hand twisted twice, indicating its pleasure.

"Let's make a living in the West Blue first, find a few reliable companions to make a group of five before heading into the Grand Line."

Chapter 005 Recognize Me as Your Big Brother

Ohara.

"Robin! Run! Go find Kazan!"

"Just keep running towards the coast where Kazan left! Don't stop, and don't look back!"

Saul was lying on the ground, his lower body frozen, and he glared menacingly at Robin, urging her to hurry up and leave.

"Oh dear, Saul, I'll be in big trouble if she gets away."

"Kuzan, have you ever heard the saying, 'Everyone gets their chance to shine'?"

"what?"

Sauro propped himself up with one hand, and with the other hand wrapped in Armament Haki, he slammed it down at Kuzan.

We absolutely must stall for as much time as possible!

Saul watched the small black dot gradually disappear out of the corner of his eye, and smiled: "Hey, thank you, Kuzan. I feel very honored to have a friend like you."

"What are you saying? I don't quite understand."

Kazan, Robin is in your hands now.

……

"Hey hee hee... hee hee hee hee hee hee"

Robin sat in the small boat, watching Ohara burn in the flames, crying and laughing strangely at the same time.

"Brother...I'm so scared...Where are you...?"
