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

Kazan hadn't seen which old man Monet was referring to earlier, but he immediately found out after landing.

"Old man, your breathing is not weak."

After landing from the sky, Kazan walked directly to a hunchbacked old man.

"Oh? Young people these days are all so capable."

“'Red Dog' Kazan, I heard you have a batch of rainbow logs here, so I have come to visit you in the hope of buying the timber you have.”

Kazan ignored the two burly men behind the hunchbacked old man and handed over his bounty poster. He found that this thing was like a business card and very useful.

The hunchbacked old man with a cane opposite him didn't look at Kazan's bounty poster. He simply pushed it back gently and nodded in disappointment: "If you're going to buy it... then you're a customer."

Chapter 061 The Discolored Log

"Please wait a moment, sir. Three hundred million Berries will be prepared for you shortly."

Kazan negotiated a deal with the hunchbacked old man, and they eventually settled on a figure of 300 million Berries. After agreeing on the figure, neither of them had any particular reaction, as if 300 million Berries were nothing.

Three hundred million Berries is an extremely large number on most islands in the four seas, but for some countries, three hundred million Berries is just a drop in the ocean, not even a fraction of the Celestial Dragons' Heavenly Gold.

Three hundred million is not a small number for Kazan, but after killing so many great pirates in the West Blue and robbing two or three World Government member states in the past year, the accumulated Beli, although a lot of it has been spent on the continuous processing and modification of the ship, is still about two hundred million. Adding the heads in Rainbow Town, it should be enough.

Coincidentally, they came out to buy materials, so they brought all the money from their pirate ship to put on the fishing boat before they left.

In the original series, Franky spent 200 million Berries to buy a piece of the Tree of Adam. Kazan spent 300 million Berries, but he bought a lot of it. Although the value of Rainbow Wood is not comparable to Adam and Eve, it is still one of the top materials, so it was not a bad deal at all.

Since Fun Clay and the others hadn't brought Bailey yet, Kazan could only continue chatting with the hunchbacked old man, who didn't seem to be in a hurry anyway.

"Grandpa, where did you get this rainbow log? Ah... it's okay if you don't tell me, I don't really care."

“There’s nothing wrong with talking about it. I have a nephew named Umit. Although he’s just started in the shipping business, he’s already achieved some success. He’s the one who got all of this for me.”

"Uh...never heard of it."

Upon hearing the hunchbacked old man's words, Kazan's first thought was of one of the future kings of the underworld, the Shipping King.

However, Kazan did not remember the name of the Sea King, and it would be more than ten years before the Sea King became the king of the underworld, so he quickly dismissed the idea that the other party might be the Sea King.

"Haha, it's okay if you haven't heard of it. By the way, you're such a strong little guy, are you coming to Rainbow Town to prepare to enter the Grand Line?"

"No, we're buying materials to build the ship first... Once the ship is built, we should go and take a look."

"By the way, let me take you to see the Rainbow Wood first. See how you plan to take it with you. That stuff is not easy to move."

"Ah, that is indeed a problem. I'll go take a look first and make some preparations in advance."

Kazan and the hunchbacked old man chatted as they walked toward each other's warehouse where they kept their materials.

Throughout the journey, Kazan remained puzzled. It was impossible for those gangsters and pirates not to know about his contact with the merchant "who carried the rainbow logs." Yet, no one around them seemed to be watching them, and according to Kazan's Observation Haki, it didn't appear that the hunchbacked old man's subordinates had made a move.

Even though Foncrab and Bellamy have taken down quite a few, they only amount to two and a half people at most. It's unreasonable how many people they could have eliminated.

Until we arrived at the warehouse door.

Looking at the people lying all over the warehouse, Kazan nodded with a relieved expression.

They came from the Grand Line.

Kazan glanced at the seven or eight 'bodyguards' who were always standing around the warehouse and had a general idea of ​​their strength. In his Observation Haki, almost every one of these seven or eight people had strength close to Bellamy's level.

The fact that he was able to find so many decent bodyguards suggests that Umit must be no ordinary person.

Kazan glanced at Monet, who was standing beside him like a secretary, and conveyed his meaning with his eyes: Umit, you can keep an eye on him.

Monet was glanced at by Kazan and felt confused. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind and she realized what her brother meant: "I'll take you to a hotel later."

Kazan and Monet looked at each other for three seconds, then nodded in unison, reaching a consensus.

Kazan was very proud of the great chemistry he had developed with his little sister, but Monet's blushing and twisting body made him a little suspicious, and he secretly wondered if Monet was feeling unwell.

"Open the warehouse."

The hunchbacked old man gestured to the two bodyguards behind him to open the door.

As the door opened, Kazan expected a flash of rainbow light to blind him, so he squinted to cooperate.

"That's it?"

Kazan looked at the ordinary lump of broken wood in front of him and couldn't see anything different about it compared to ordinary wood.

"Haha, surprised, aren't you! It's obvious you're seeing rainbow logs for the first time."

"How to say?"

"Real rainbow logs look just like ordinary wood, with no difference in appearance, but they have a very special characteristic: they change color!"

"Change color..."

Kazan listened to the old man's words, imagining his monster pirate crew turning yellow and green on the sea in the future, and his face turned black.

If that's the case, then we might as well not have this rainbow wood!

"Don't get the wrong idea. This color change is permanent. Once it turns into a certain color, it will never change back."

"It has such a strange characteristic?"

"It is indeed quite rare in the world, right? But if you go to the Grand Line and see all kinds of creatures there, you will find that this kind of wood is just so-so."

"Ugh... how do I change its color?"

"Just touch it, and the rainbow wood will be infected by the person who touches it, changing its color and then living out its entire life in that color."

"Are the colors that change related to people?"

"There should be a connection, but it's impossible to verify. I heard that my nephew went to great lengths to transport this batch of timber, making sure his men didn't touch the wood along the way."

Kazan nodded, then walked over to the batch of rainbow logs and reached out to touch one of them.

Everyone present stared intently as the log began to slowly change.

The wood changed color continuously in the seven colors of the rainbow, finally settling on... black?

Does the rainbow include black?

The hunchbacked old man's eyes widened, his body tensed, and his neck stretched out, revealing a look of surprise like an old turtle.

He then shifted his gaze to Kazan. Why would a guy with bloodshot eyes and a blood-red left hand produce black?

"Monet, you give it a try."

Kazan didn't know that the rainbow logs couldn't be transformed into colors not found in the seven colors of the rainbow, so he wasn't surprised at all that one of the logs had turned black. Black happened to be his favorite color, and he adored black stockings.

"Okay, bro~"

Monet skipped over to Kazan, chuckling as he reached out to one of the logs that hadn't changed color.

But her trembling arms revealed that Monet was not as relaxed as she appeared; she was nervous.

Red! Red! Red! It has to be the color that represents my brother!

Chapter 062 Colors and the Return Journey

It's red! But not entirely red; the red is somewhat dull, giving it a viscous feel, like blood.

The color that Monet touched was exactly the same color as Kazan's eyes.

call.

Monet wore an air of nonchalance, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Sure enough, my brother is my true love.

Was green not Monet's natural color?!

Kazan was slightly surprised to see the log Monet touched turn blood red. He then looked incredulously at Monet's pale green hair.

It's definitely green.

Kazan was increasingly confused about the rainbow log. He was clearly predominantly red, but the wood had turned black. Monet, on the other hand, was predominantly green, but the wood was red, which had virtually no connection to her.

There are about six logs that haven't changed color yet. We'll let Xiao Feng and Xiao Bei try them out, and then decide on the remaining two based on how their colors change.

Kazan counted the remaining rainbow logs, then nodded, already having made up his mind. These were the materials for building their monster family's future home and companions, so Kazan valued them highly.

"Kazan..."

"Nii-chan~ We're back~"

Before Bon Clay could speak, the pink-haired loli next to him, her ahoge swaying, fell headfirst into Kazan's arms, sweetly calling him "brother" over and over.

Sugar rushed over and pounced on Kazan's lap, bouncing around trying to grab Perona's princess dress and pull her off Kazan.

"Sweetie~ Big brother is going to tell you something..."

Kazan hugged Sugar, who was standing next to him, and rubbed the two little girls' heads. Then he talked to Bon Clay and Bellamy, who had come over, about the Rainbow Log.

"Hey hey hey! It changes color... Perona wants it to be pink!"

"Hmph, it must be the green of sugar!"

Hearing such an interesting story, the two little ones became excited.

Bon Clay didn't seem to care much, only a little curious about what color he could turn the logs into; Bellamy, on the other hand, was visibly nervous, clenching her fists and sweating profusely, looking extremely anxious. Monet, seeing Bellamy's comical state, simply smiled knowingly, while subtly glancing at the two excited little girls and chuckling to himself.

Kazan sent his four little brothers and sisters to touch the rainbow log. The four of them, some excited and some nervous, reached out and grabbed the log together.

"Oh dear~ It's a pity it's not the pink that Perona likes."

Perona's voice didn't sound very disappointed.

"Hmph! This piece of junk isn't even green!"

Sugar just huffed angrily, then acted as if she didn't care at all.

"Eh? I'm wearing red."

He spoke with a questioning tone, but Bon Clay's face showed an air of complete self-assurance.

"Ooh ho!!!"

Bellamy, on the other hand, seemed very surprised and excited.

Kazan looked at the four little guys and shook his head; he was now actually having a bit of a headache.

Because after the four little guys touched the log, they all turned blood red, just like Monet.
