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

It was their first time doing this kind of training, and they were even wearing weights. The three little ones were completely exhausted as soon as they got back to the Carroso.

"Oh, you're back just in time for dinner. Let's go eat."

Upon hearing that it was time to eat, Luffy immediately crawled towards the kitchen, while Ace and Sabo remained lying motionless in their original positions.

Is that all? The algae-covered head in the next village carries thousands upon thousands of stones, working himself to the bone for years on end.

Kazan glanced at the two who looked like they were dead, and said, "You only have one month to get used to this amount of training. It will be increased later. I will help you unleash every bit of potential in your bodies."

"The food is limited, and if you come late, Luffy will probably eat it all."

Kazan left a message and went straight into the kitchen. As for Ace and Sabo, who were still panting heavily, they just wanted to lie there like salted fish and weren't even interested in eating.

The dinner table.

"Ah Jin, it seems like training is easy for you. Double the amount of training."

"...(▼へ▼メ)!"

The three little ones spent a whole day on their basic training today, while A Jin finished it in just one morning. He spent the afternoon fighting various wild beasts in the Gorber Mountains and also hunted some meat. It's clear that this wasn't too difficult for A Jin.

The three little ones expend a lot of energy every day and need to replenish a lot of food and nutrition to keep up with their training. The Gorber Mountains have everything, which just meets their food needs.

Judging from the condition of the three little ones after their training today, they probably won't be able to come back for lunch for a few days. So Kazan decided to make breakfast a bit more substantial so that they can eat their fill before they set off.

Tomorrow morning, while Akin and the three little ones are at training, Kazan plans to send Slap and Makino back to Windmill Village. They've already been here for two or three days, and if they stay any longer, not only will the people of Windmill Village think of them, but Robin, Sugar, and Perona will probably be in trouble.

The following day, after Kazan returned Slap and Makino to Windmill Village, some of the villagers clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

Kazan explained the situation to Robin and the other two, telling them to stay in Windmill Village and rest. However, Sugar was unhappy and kept pestering Kazan to let them train together.

So in the end, Robin and Perona stayed in Windmill Village to study, while Sugar was taken to Mount Gorbel by Kazan.

"Since you've asked for trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮"

Kazan supported Sugar with one arm, holding her to his chest, and gently pinched her little nose with his other hand.

As Kazan had predicted, the three little ones did not return until it was time for dinner in the evening. Just like yesterday, they went straight to the deck as soon as they got on the ship.

With Makino away, no one was there to cook, so Kazan took over the cooking duties. In reality, Kazan simply roasted the game that Akin had hunted over a fire and sprinkled some seasoning on it, and that was it.

Even with such a simple process, the three little ones ate with gusto, their mouths brimming with oil, it was so delicious!

On the morning of the third day, while having breakfast.

"Let me introduce you. This is my sister, Sugar. She's eight years old, just like Ace and Sabo. She'll be joining your training today. Ah, because she's a girl and Sugar has never trained before, she won't be carrying any weights during training, and her training volume will be one-fiftieth of what it used to be."

"Huh? Is there any need for training at all?"

"Hey, the difference in treatment is too big."

“┭┮﹏┭┮”

Kazan's blatant favoritism is evident to all in the monster family; all his brothers are biological brothers, and all his sisters are adopted sisters.

The younger brothers were trained to the point of exhaustion, squeezing out every bit of their potential to the extreme, so that they could grow and gain strength as quickly as possible.

As for my younger sister, unless training is the main requirement, let her do whatever makes her happy and try not to put any pressure on her. As long as her ability to protect herself and escape is up to standard, that's fine.

Kazan doesn't want his sister to turn into a little Nozha in the future, so his requirements for Sugar are very low. Not to mention the constitution in the One Piece world, even for an ordinary girl in her previous life, it wouldn't be particularly difficult for her to achieve that.

After breakfast, the group set off, including Kazan, who secretly followed along.

Kazan was really worried about Sugar. With Sugar's pampered upbringing, she might cause trouble during training, and he didn't know what the three little ones would do then.

Then Kazan got his comeuppance again. Although Sugar had a hard time training, she still obediently completed all the tasks assigned by Kazan, huffing and puffing.

Sugar's efforts clearly exceeded Kazan's expectations; the little guy had surprisingly begun to show ambition.

When she finished, her face turned red, and she even planned to do extra training. Kazan felt sorry for her and stopped her. He told Sugar very seriously that she could not do extra training without his permission in the future. He then repeated the same thing to Akin and ASL.

But putting aside Ajin, the three members of ASL had no intention of making things difficult for themselves. They scoffed at Kazan's words and even wanted to laugh.

This is Sugar's first formal training session since birth, and the amount of training is already quite substantial. Let her get used to it first. If Sugar insists on training in the future, then we can gradually increase the amount of training.

Another week passed like this. People were training here and studying in Windmill Village. Kazan would occasionally go to check on them. On the surface, the days passed peacefully.

However, in reality, whenever the little guys go out for training, Kazan will immediately set off for the uncertain destination shortly afterward.

Kazan didn't have much of an impression of the characters in the ASL trio's flashback episodes from the original work; there were only a handful of people he could remember.

One is Dadan, the foster mother of the three ASL members. Of course, Luffy and Sabo have not yet joined Dadan's family, so she can only be considered Ace's foster mother. Although she is a bandit and seems to have done a lot of bad things, her way and attitude towards her own people are very admirable to Kazan.

One is Makino, though I only vaguely remember her. Kazan only remembered that there was such a gentle and kind girl in Windmill Village after meeting Makino in person.

The last one is Nagri, the destination of the uncertain object, who is also Kazan's target this week. He is an old man who uses a long wooden hammer.

Kazan only had three impressions of this guy: he was defeated by Gol D. Roger, and he was the teacher of Ace, Sabo, and Luffy.

and also.

He possesses Conqueror's Haki.

Chapter 100 Conqueror's Haki

Non-determined destination.

Kazan donned his long-unseen hooded cloak and entered the filthy, smelly junkyard.

Since this wasn't his first time entering this area, Kazan went straight to his destination as soon as he entered.

"According to what we learned last time, Nagri often appears in the uncontested areas on the outskirts."

The indeterminate destination is divided into three areas from the inside out: the central area, the conflict zone, and the non-conflict zone, with the degree of chaos gradually increasing from the inside out.

Young and strong thugs and pirates fight for valuable 'trash' in the central area, while the peaceful areas are where the old, weak, sick and disabled can safely scavenge for trash.

As Kazan entered the peaceful zone, he immediately noticed an old man watching this side.

"Okay, saves me the trouble of looking."

Having a strong aura isn't always a bad thing; it can immediately attract the target's attention. Of course, you also need to have a sufficiently strong Observation Haki to detect the other person's gaze.

Kazan smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and confidently walked towards the old man.

"Hello, Nagri, there's something I'd like to ask you."

The old man who had been approached by Kazan seemed a little uneasy. After hearing Kazan's words, he hurriedly pointed in a direction: "I'm not... Nagri... Nagri is over there."

"...Then it's alright."

Kazan gave an awkward laugh and quickly walked away in the direction the old man pointed. The old man clearly breathed a sigh of relief after Kazan left.

Most likely, they stole or owed something from one of the two innermost areas and were afraid of being found out, so they wanted to see if I was their creditor.

As Kazan walked in that direction, he wondered why the old man had looked at him earlier. Such examples were not uncommon at this uncertain destination, and although Kazan had only been there for five or six days, he was already used to it.

This time there shouldn't be any problems... right?

Kazan arrived at a new location, and looking around, there was only a short, hunchbacked old man picking up trash.

"Um... are you Nagri?"

"Hmm? Yes, is there something you need?"

"Hmm... I heard about your battle with the Pirate King Gol D. Roger on the high seas, so I came here to find out what kind of person Roger was."

"...I see. Let's go over there and talk."

Nagri wasn't surprised at all to hear that Kazan had heard about him and Roger; in fact, he felt a little proud. After all, he was considered a supernova in Roger's era, so it was not surprising that people had heard of him. He just didn't expect that someone would actually come looking for him.

Kazan had absolutely no interest in the petty squabbles between Nagri and Roger; all he was interested in was Conqueror's Haki.

Nagri first sorted through the 'loot' he had acquired at the Uncertainty Terminal today, and then led Kazan toward a beach bordering Mount Gorber.

"What you heard from others must have been an epic, world-shaking duel that shook the heavens and earth, thrilling and exhilarating, lasting eight days and eight nights... Haha, to my shame, actually, a long, long time ago..."

"Ah, no, I heard you got instantly killed."

Sorry, I have to pick up my child later, so I don't have much time to listen to your story.

Kazan, seeing that Nagri was about to tell a seemingly frivolous and extremely long fairy tale, felt a chill run down his spine and decisively stopped him with a ruthless rebuke.

"...You can leave now."

"Uncle Nagley, it's like this..."

"There's nothing more to say. Now that you already know, what else do you want me to say?!"

"I'd like to ask you a question about Conqueror's Haki!"

This time, fearing that Nagri would interrupt the conversation again, Kazan blurted out his purpose like a machine gun.

Naguri's Conqueror's Haki level is definitely not low, if Conqueror's Haki is divided into four levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and top.

The initial stage is the unconscious release of high emotions, which directly intimidates all surrounding targets, regardless of friend or foe.

At the intermediate level, one can consciously control the target, range, power, and timing of Conqueror's Haki. This stage is when one truly begins to master Conqueror's Haki.

A true overlord, possessing both mental and physical prowess, can unleash their Haki in every direction simply by amplifying their aura. It's as if their Conqueror's Haki is always in a state of activation. Its oppressive force can shake ships, and even a battle-hardened general can be brought to the ground with a thud when passing by.

Top-tier Conqueror's Haki allows one to imbue attacks or weapons with the same power and devastating effect as Armament Haki, even enabling attacks from a distance, similar to advanced Armament Haki, directly damaging the enemy's internal structure. Rumor has it that only a handful of people across the entire ocean can achieve this.

Naguri's Conqueror's Haki is at least at the intermediate level. When he saved the three members of ASL, he used Conqueror's Haki on Kuma, whose strength was similar to that of the Lord of Mount Gorbel, thus scaring him away.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. It's not surprising that someone who can stand in front of Roger is of this caliber.

"Ah... Conqueror's Haki, huh? It's just like that, um..."

“I have a few children who have been extremely interested in your battle with Roger since they were little. They have never heard the whole story of your battle. Why don’t you go and tell them about it later?”

Seeing Nagri's hesitant and uninterested expression, Kazan casually mentioned it.

"Oh! I remember now! Conqueror's Haki! You even know that... You're no ordinary kid, well... there's not much to say about Conqueror's Haki."

"If you are destined to become a king, then even if you can't unleash it now, you will naturally awaken it in time."

"If you don't have this in your destiny, then no matter how much you train and cultivate, you will never be able to awaken Conqueror's Haki."

……

Nagri enthusiastically shared his understanding of Conqueror's Haki with Kazan, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor, which seemed to have one foot in the grave.

"Do you think I have Conqueror's Haki?"
