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

Kazan and his two companions were quite excited as they looked at the prosperous and bustling azure-colored town in front of them. The air here was very humid, and there were many small artificial fountains on the island. Every now and then, a few streaks of rainbow light could be faintly seen in the air, adding a dreamlike curtain to the town.

"Everyone, go your own way and have some fun. While you're at it, find out where you can buy the best shipbuilding materials in town. We'll meet under that tree this evening."

Kazan pointed to a giant, multicolored tree in the distance and said that it was said to be a sea plant called the "Rainbow Tree." Several trees were transplanted at once, but only one survived. The Navy had to pay a huge price to save it.

The purpose was to create momentum and make a name for themselves. They intentionally positioned this place as the last stop before entering the Grand Line from the West Blue, and then stationed a powerful navy here to wipe out any pirates who couldn't resist coming here, thereby relieving the pressure on the other side of the Grand Line.

Basically, every sea in the four seas has such a 'terminal station'. The Navy has also applied to the World Government for funds to help with town renovation, since it would also be beneficial to the World Government. As a result... they were just given some money to appease them.

Kazan let his cooped-up younger siblings go out to play, while he himself obediently inquired about information from shop to shop.

"Good heavens! How can someone have such a wonderful older brother! Handsome, strong, protective, responsible, and dependable—he's simply one of a kind in this world!"

Walking down the street, Kazan leaned against the wall, secretly enjoying himself. He had clearly been holding back for the past three months. He couldn't let it out in front of his younger siblings, but when he was alone, he started to have his episodes.

As Kazan walked into an alley, a woman's voice suddenly rang out, almost giving him a heart attack.

"Lord Red Dog".

Upon hearing this address, Kazan's veins bulged, and he turned to look at the 'outrageous' guy behind him with his demonic, blood-red eyes. Kazan felt that this person was insulting him.

Five meters behind Kazan stood a graceful woman with long red hair, possessing a commanding figure and exquisite features. She seemed to be able to rival the adult Monet he remembered from the animation.

"What?"

Kazan, who originally intended to kill the person with a single blow, calmed down a bit after seeing the other person's appearance. He was an honest man, and it was okay for him to follow the world's values.

Thinking back to the newspapers and wanted posters I'd recently seen, I had absolutely no recollection of this woman.

"Ahem... It's like this. According to what I've heard, you seem to be looking for high-quality shipbuilding materials recently, right?"

"Correct."

The red-haired woman paused, swallowed hard, and was unsure how to continue the conversation. However, seeing that Kazan wasn't saying much, she blurted out her purpose in one breath.

"...Uh, my men have been keeping an eye on the port lately. Just yesterday, a group of merchants arrived in Rainbow Town. They say their ship got hold of very rare Rainbow Logs. You might not even see one in Rainbow Town once a year. We're not going to let this opportunity slip by."

"But it's not just us. The notorious pirates and gangsters of Rainbow Town have their eyes on this batch of Rainbow Logs. It's impossible to get this material from so many people by fighting alone. And it just so happens that I met you, so I hope to cooperate with you to get this material together."

The red-haired woman lowered herself so much that she immediately drew Kazan's attention. She also deliberately spoke in a soft, sweet voice. Although Kazan could tell it was intentional, to be fair, it was really beautiful. She was practically a living fairy.

However, women are not qualified to be stumbling blocks for Kazan. Kazan did not get angry because of the other party's seduction. The only thing that could make him lose his mind was to activate a buff.

"Do you think someone who can get their hands on that kind of material is someone to be trifled with?"

Kazan immediately voiced his doubts. A merchant who could obtain such materials couldn't possibly be a simple person, but this woman didn't seem to take the merchant seriously.

As for the so-called great pirate and cooperation?

The bounty standards for great pirates in the West Blue have been lowered several levels by the monster pirate crew, almost catching up with the East Blue.

If we're talking about cooperation... to put it bluntly, all the pirates and gangs on this island combined wouldn't be enough to defeat their Monster Pirate Crew.

"Don't worry, that guy is an old businessman in Rainbow Town. We know him well. He's just an honest man with no background. There's no need to worry about him at all."

To say that she is worthy of the two huge breasts and long hair of the red-haired woman is an understatement; the words that come out of her mouth are like those of someone who has no brain.

A seasoned veteran who's managed to stay in Rainbow Town, the 'final stop' of the West Sea, for so long, and who even managed to get his hands on the underwater Rainbow Tree, is a ruthless character no matter how you look at it.

A truly ruthless person will only show you the side of them that they want you to see.

Kazan sighed. He didn't want to talk to this big-breasted, brainless woman anymore. It was a complete waste of time. No wonder he was still a nobody even though he had reached the 'final destination'.

Maybe, but I don't recall Kazan. He probably didn't even have a bounty of ten million, so he was just a minor character.

"Thanks for your intelligence. Well, since we're competitors, I'll ask you to die first."

Kazan drew his black sword and slashed directly at the red-haired woman.

"Zero friction!"

Chapter 060 Businessman

Kazan watched helplessly as his black blade slid off the red-haired woman's neck.

"Haha! I'm a smooth-smooth person who ate the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, you can't attack me."

The red-haired woman was almost scared to death by Kazan's sudden attack, after all, Kazan's reputation in the West Blue was like Whitebeard's reputation in the Grand Line.

It turned out that after Kazan's slash was deflected like the slashes he had encountered before, he became rampant, even though he still had tears in his eyes.

Slippery Fruit.

Kazan stroked his chin, looking at his black blade, then glanced at the red-haired woman opposite him. He remembered that this thing would later be eaten by a tank with a pockmarked face, and then turned into a great beauty.

"You...you weren't originally a tank, were you?"

Kazan suddenly asked a question; he vaguely remembered a bounty poster featuring a red-haired female tank...

After Kazan said those words, the red-haired woman, who was originally planning to continue mocking Kazan, suddenly turned red in the face, like a modern adult whose past non-mainstream embarrassing moments posted on social media during their teenage years were dug up.

"You... Hmph, I was originally planning to make you my number one general under my skirt, but now it seems that it's better to kill you instead."

The red-haired woman, looking somewhat displeased, lifted her short skirt, deliberately revealing her red panties and long, slender legs.

However, Kazan couldn't appreciate it at all now; the image of Leona from the bounty poster in his mind had now superimposed onto the red-haired woman in front of him.

"You don't... think you're invincible, do you?"

The red-haired woman only heard Kazan's voice but couldn't see him. At that moment, Kazan had silently appeared behind her, and a mark emitting a faint bloody light appeared under his feet, illuminating the two people on the magic circle.

"Eh?"

The red-haired woman found herself suddenly flying into the air, slowly descending.

Kazan frowned as he looked at the red-haired woman. He realized he really didn't know how to deal with her... He had just watched helplessly as the blood from his outburst of anger slid down between the woman's legs.

Ugh, where am I supposed to get explosive damage from?

As Kazan watched the red-haired woman about to land, he followed up with another Ground Shatter Wave Slash, knocking her away once more. This time, she was even slammed against the wall by the effect of the skill and slid up the wall.

Kazan raised an eyebrow and looked inexplicably at the red-haired woman who was falling from mid-air and slowly spitting blood.

"So, the impact also had an effect on you."

If that's the case...

Earth Shattering Wave Slash.

Mountain-shattering strike.

Cross Slash.

Earth Shattering Wave Slash.

Mountain-shattering strike.

Cross Slash.

……

Five minutes later.

"Ah... so he died from excessive blood loss in the end..."

While Kazan's skill effect certainly dealt massive damage to the red-haired woman, the ultimate cause of her death was that she vomited a huge amount of blood during the impact, which, combined with Kazan's continuously stacking bleeding effect, led to her dying from excessive blood loss.

"This Smooth-Smooth Fruit is a hassle... I hope I can get some in the future."

After taking down the red-haired woman, Kazan didn't forget his business and left the area to find someone knowledgeable to ask about the merchant's location.

"Oh, right, let those little guys go and rip off some people tonight to raise some money. If they can buy it successfully, that would be the best."

He muttered to himself as he arrived at this place, then looked back at the red-haired woman... After she died, her body didn't revert to its original tank shape, so he couldn't risk his head to exchange for money.

Kazan wandered around aimlessly, not recognizing a single pirate he knew, nor any of the gang leaders. For a moment, he couldn't figure out where to ask for directions.

As they wandered aimlessly, time gradually slipped away. Kazan eventually headed towards the Rainbow Tree, intending to reunite with his underlings.

Under the rainbow tree.

Kazan thought he probably wouldn't be the last to arrive, but to his surprise, his underlings arrived before him.

"Well... perfect, saves me the trouble of waiting. There's a merchant on this island who's brought in rainbow logs. Does anyone know about this?"

"Bro~ I know this, and I even found that guy's location."

"Oh, well done, my Monet! But you lot, look at all that stuff on your faces and bodies, you've all been out fooling around!"

Kazan rubbed Monet's little head, then pointed at the other guys who were all messy from playing and cursed them.

"Hehehe."

"Oh dear, I can't help it, I've been holding it in for too long, I have to let it all out."

"Brother~~~"

"Quack!"

Kazan looked at the little creatures, some grinning foolishly, others trying to get away with being cute, and sighed helplessly.

"Monet, take me to find that merchant. The other lazy bums, go and kill those guys with bounties, raise some money, and bring it over."

After leaving those words, Kazan took Monet's hand and had her fly into the sky to find the merchant.

Kazan looked down at Rainbow Town. The view of Rainbow Town from the sky was like a completely different world from the view from within it. From this perspective, Rainbow Town felt like returning from a fairyland to reality. The various menacing figures in the streets and alleys made Kazan feel that this was how it should be.

"Brother~ Look, it's that old man!"

Kazan looked up to see where Monet was looking, but when he looked up, he said, "...Sigh, Monet...you...are starting to grow up, and your brother is very proud of you."

"Huh?... Ugh, hmph!"

Monet was initially puzzled when he heard Kazan's proud voice. He looked down and followed Kazan's gaze, wiped his mouth slightly, suppressed a laugh, and happily hummed.

My brother is finally starting to notice Monet's charm... Hehehehehe.

Monet's cheeks began to flush, his lips gradually became wild, and strange fantasies began to form in his mind. Monet's appearance reminded Kazan of a character from his previous life, Yuno Gasai.

"Monet, it's time to descend."

Kazan, held by Monet's arms, stared blankly as he flew and flew until he was out of Rainbow Town. He couldn't help but speak up, "That merchant couldn't possibly be outside Rainbow Town, could he?"

"Um...uh."

Monet was brought back to his senses by Kazan's voice. He subconsciously responded, then looked around in disbelief before grabbing a landing pad.
