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

However, when he kicked the woman, it was as if he had kicked a puddle of liquid. He also clearly observed that the woman did not revert to human form because of his attack, but rather because she had fainted.

"Ah Jin, take this woman back."

Bon Clay wasn't actually interested in the woman's abilities, but he thought she might be able to help Monet, so he took her back to Robin to see if he could find out what kind of person she was.

Chapter 087 Family Members About to Separate

Kazan scrutinized the blonde woman lying on the ground, who was now covered with a thin blanket. He had to admit that even with the blanket, the woman's impressive figure was undeniable, comparable to that of the young Robin and second only to Monet.

"Bro~ Your eyes are practically glued to me~"

"Hehe~ Brother seems to like it very much..."

The ethereal voices of Monet and Robin rang in his ears, sending a slight chill down Kazan's spine. Then, his expression suddenly turned serious: "Robin, what are your thoughts?"

"An idea? Emmm... 'This figure is probably comparable to Robin'?"

Robin moved closer to Kazan, pinched her chin, stared at Kazan, and softly uttered a question in a declarative tone.

"Ahem... Since my precious Robin isn't here, then I, the... Big Brother!... will analyze this guy's situation."

"Based on my impression of the Devil Fruit encyclopedia I saw eight years ago, this woman is not a Logia-type user, but a Paramecia-type. If I remember correctly, it was called something like the Paste Fruit or the Sticky Fruit."

"However, it's not an ordinary Paramecia type, but a special Paramecia type with characteristics similar to Logia types."

“You can hit their ‘special elementalized bodies’ even without Haki, but even if you use Haki, you can’t knock them back from their ‘special elementalized’ state to their original form.”

"If this kind of guy masters a high level of Observation Haki, he will become even more troublesome than a Logia type. He can use the technique of 'pre-transformation into an element' to avoid attacks, and he can also use Armament Haki in a 'special elemental state'."

"Well... but there are very few special Paramecia-type Devil Fruits like this. It's almost like a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit."

"Don't worry too much about this guy, I'll just throw her into the sea."

Kazan stared intently at the blonde woman on the ground with righteous eyes, fearing that she might suddenly attack and harm his younger siblings!

After his analysis, Kazan reached out a trembling hand and grabbed the blonde woman. Today, Kazan would uphold justice, rid the people of this scourge, and eliminate this cancer on the sea!

"Ah~~ Monet-chan, your brother's wrist is frosty."

Kazan looked at the snow-white, soft hand that had suddenly grabbed his wrist, swallowed hard, and turned to Monet, who had a kind face, and said in a slightly weak voice.

Speaking of which, whether it was Kazan's imagination or not, ever since he was injured, he felt that his status in the family was rapidly declining, and everyone dared to talk back to him.

Sigh, that makes sense. My younger siblings are all entering their rebellious phase.

Kazan glanced forlornly at the blonde woman who had been kicked off the ship by Bon Clay and fallen into the sea.

He once wanted to uphold justice! But justice did not choose him.

"Fine! Let bygones be bygones... Ah Jin, bring the boat over there! Take everything of value from that boat!"

"Yes."

Kazan is currently unable to fight, and spends most of his time entertaining himself, except when he's joking around with his younger siblings.

Besides studying all sorts of strange and useful steel creations, dividing up the spoils was his favorite part.

"Oh, this double-barreled pistol is nice, Ah Jin, you can take it."

"Necklaces and jewelry, these are useless. Monet and Robin, take a look and see if there's anything you like. If not, just put them in the warehouse and wait to pawn them in the next town."

"Oh dear, there's nothing fun to do..."

Kazan looked at the 'trash' he had sorted out with great disappointment. He wasn't interested in any of these things. The only things that interested him were strange weapons, Devil Fruits, rare metals, and... animal cubs.

Back on the Carroso, the monster family set off once again.

This time, Kazan clearly pointed out the destination: "Windmill Village, Frostmoon Village, Syrob Village, Cocoyasi Village, any place. Once we get to one of them, we'll settle there for a while until I recover from my injuries."

There aren't many interesting things about the East China Sea right now. It's incredibly boring. The truly interesting East China Sea won't be for another ten years or so. But perhaps Kazan can do something now that might make the ocean more interesting in the future.

Sitting atop Carosso's head, Kazan gazed at the harmonious sea before him and murmured with anticipation, "Let me have some fun, little ones."

"By the way, Ah Jin, how's the 'Yaksha' I gave you?"

"It suits me quite well, and the power is pretty good."

"Oh, it's rare for you to say so many words. It seems to be really useful. You can use it for now, and I'll help you modify it if I get anything more powerful in the future."

"Ah."

"Xiao Bei, give me your Black Rhino Armor first. That thing is useless to you, right? I'll keep it here and work on it."

"Okay, big brother."

Feeling the gentle sea breeze and the silence of Carosso—this wasn't usually the atmosphere—Kazan turned to look at Bon Clay, Monet, Bellamy, and Robin, who seemed hesitant to speak, and sighed, "Just say what you have to say. Stop beating around the bush. When are you planning to stop talking?"

"...Kazan, we plan to go on a training trip for a while."

"where?"

"The Calm Zone".

How do I get there?

"Rowing, flying."

"...Let me think about it."

Kazan, his face grim, didn't look at the four anxious little ones behind him; his unhappiness was clearly written all over his face.

There was no particular reason; I just didn't want to be separated from them. But keeping them around was just a waste of time. Since they wanted to improve themselves, how could I, as their older brother, stop them?

Kazan scratched his dull white hair, sighed, and finally uttered a single syllable: "Hmm."

Although they had Kazan's consent, Kazan's obviously unhappy appearance still made them somewhat frustrated. Moreover, this was the first time in a long time that the monster family was going to be separated, and they were also reluctant and unhappy.

However, after the previous battles, they were eager to improve their strength, and they would feel it was a pity to waste the next year. This was also the first time that the other three, apart from Bellamy, had taken the initiative to become stronger. They had received Kazan's permission, and they were quite happy about it.

Like children, they planned to quietly improve so that when they met again, Kazan could be proud and amazed by their strength.

"Wait until I find a place to settle down with Ah Jin and the others before you leave, so you don't lose track of us later."

"Yes, we'll come back once you've recovered."

Of course they wouldn't leave now. Even though this was the weakest sea, they wouldn't feel comfortable letting Kazan, who was in a weakened state, drift on the sea. They would definitely take him to his destination before leaving.

Once they arrive at their destination, the monster family will split into two groups to carry out their mission.

Now, the entire monster family is with Kazan, looking out at the ocean ahead of the Caroso.

We won't be able to enjoy the scenery together for a while afterward.

Chapter 088 Arriving at Windmill Village a Year Later

Bang!

"Gah!"

"Haha! I won!"

A small bird flying in the sky was hit by a bullet, blood splattered in the air, and the bird fell directly into the sea.

At the bow of the Carroso, Kazan held a dark silver 98k rifle made of pure steel, with a wooden barrel beside him filled with rifle bullets he had previously stolen from pirates and the navy.

Kazan has been playing this a lot lately.

Kazan's idea was that since he couldn't fight physically for a while, he would fight this way first, even though he probably wouldn't need to use him in actual combat.

Kazan crafted more than just this one 98k; Bon Clay, Bellamy, and others around him also each had a weapon and were playing with it.

There are various rare weapons such as revolvers, crossbows, sickle swords, fist swords, and crosses.

These were actually Kazan's failed attempts at developing possession weapons, so he put them on the ship for everyone to enjoy.

After drifting at sea for so many days, stopping at four or five islands and towns along the way, the Carroso has never stopped in any of these places for more than a week. They are still searching for the places that Kazan mentioned earlier.

Funker, Bellamy, and others also asked Kazan why he was so fixated on these places, but Kazan didn't give a specific reason, only saying, "I want to make the future even better."

"Another country has appeared ahead."

"……where?"

"That is, the Goa Kingdom, which is rumored to be the 'most beautiful country in the East Sea'."

Kazan looked in the direction Robin was pointing, pursed his lips, and then walked alone into the smelting room on the first basement floor.

The other members of the monster family looked at Kazan with puzzled expressions as he carried a small fishing boat out of the smelting room. Kazan said, "I added a steel rudder to this fishing boat. You just need one of you to step on it to start it. Also, I embedded a metal with high affinity for seawater into the bottom of the boat, which can reduce the possibility of you being discovered by sea kings in the calm zone."

"Kazan...we haven't even arrived at our destination yet, have we?"

"The other side of the Goa Kingdom is Windmill Village; also, once you enter the Calm Belt, it's best to find an island within the Calm Belt to stay on immediately, as the land is definitely safer than the sea within the Calm Belt."

"...Kazan..."

"Stop dawdling! Come find us in Windmill Village a year from now. Don't die, just get out of here, you bunch of ingrates!"

Kazan glanced at Bon Clay, who was about to say something, and then swung the boat at him, crashing it into the sea along with the man. Bellamy was shocked and quickly jumped into the sea to save him.

However, only Bellamy ended up in the sea, because Fun Clay had turned into a goose and flown away.

"Brother~"

"Brother~"

"You want to get beaten up too?"

Kazan pressed down on the faces of the two younger sisters who were about to hug him, and said something without any politeness.

"It'll be a long time before we meet again, aren't you going to spend some time being affectionate with your sister first?"

"Monet, you're still being indecent even though we're about to part ways! ...Oh right, I was in a hurry earlier, so I called Xiao Feng up."

"Ah."

Kazan first gestured for Robin to wait a moment, then gently rubbed Monet's head, telling her to go and call Bon Clay.

"Robin... I'm so worried about you. Please don't leave. We promised we wouldn't be separated again."

"...emmm...what should I do..."

"I can't bear to part with you."

"...Oh dear...my head hurts so much."
