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

After confirming that they had no clue who was behind the incident, Kazan stopped interfering with the affairs of the Goa Kingdom.

On the Carroso at this time.

"Kazan, I want to go back and take a look."

Where?

"I used to live with a group of bandits in the Gorber Mountains. It's not that I'm worried about them, it's just that I haven't been able to hunt food to take back these past few days. I don't know if they've starved to death."

"Hmm... let's go back and take a look. By the way, I'd also like to try what it's like to live in a bandit's den..."

……

"Dadan brought back some friends, and they'll be staying here from now on."

Ace, who had returned to his old bandit den after a long absence, said a few words and went straight to rest, saying that he was exhausted after a day of training.

"Ace! You finally decided to come back! Why didn't you just die out there!"

(╬◣д◢)

A fat woman with long orange curly hair and a cigar in her mouth roared at Ace.

"Oh! You must be Dadan. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

"Oh! You're that old hag Dadan. I'll take good care of you from now on."

Following closely behind Ace were two kids, one big and one small. They greeted each other and then went inside without any politeness.

"Huh? Where did you guys roll off to...ga?"

Ga?

When Dadan saw that the two brats had no respect for the bandits, she got angry and was about to hurl insults at them, but Kazan and Ajin, who followed her in, shut her up.

Reading newspapers is Dadan's biggest hobby. She can remember more or less any celebrity who has appeared in the newspaper.

What's more, recently the people from the neighboring Windmill Village have been running around aimlessly with a wanted poster every day, and some of them have even landed on Dadan's family. How could Dadan not know who this red-eyed person in front of him is?

This guy's got a 9 million Berry bounty! That's worth 3 of Dadan's heads!

As for the man with dark circles under his eyes next to this man, although he looked rather weak, the fierce look in his eyes made him definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"Hello, Ms. Dadan, we may be staying with you for a few days."

"Ah...this..."

"The accommodation fee has already been left at the door."

Kazan, carrying Sugar, led Akin into the house without giving Dadan a chance to refuse.

What kind of devil did Ace bring back?!

Dadan was tense and angry inside, but she couldn't show it on her face. This kind of great pirate was definitely the kind of person who would kill without blinking an eye. It would be bad if she were killed by accident.

"Huh? You just say you're going to stay, and you're going to stay like this?"

"Who do you think we are? We're mountain bandits!"

"We've killed at least forty, if not fifty, people like you from Dadan's family. What are you so arrogant about?!"

"If you want to live with Dadan's family, take your pants off first!"

……

Dadan's entire body quickly turned grayish-white. He silently picked up his spiked club, turned around, and began to hammer the underlings who were spouting arrogant words and plotting to kill him and seize power.

"I told you to read the newspapers and books more often, but you wouldn't listen. You dare to spout nonsense about anyone!"

"Open your dog eyes wide and take a good look at who's standing here right now?!"

"Are you planning to kill me?! I've always treated you well."

While pretending to angrily bang on his underlings for Kazan's benefit, Dadan gestured to them with her lips and eyes, signaling them to quickly sneak out.

"Hehehe, feel free to stay if you want. Our Dadan family has always been hospitable, so there's no need for any accommodation fees."

After finishing off his underlings, Dadan approached Kazan, her body covered in cold sweat, and smiled at him. Kazan didn't react much, only casually saying, "I am Ace's master, and you are Ace's foster mother. You don't need to be so afraid of me."

"Master? My foster mother..."

When the word "foster mother" was mentioned, Dadan paused for a moment, then glanced at Ace who had walked into the house, and sighed slightly. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed half a mother to that brat.

In the month or so that Ace was gone, Dadan's family went out to look for him countless times. On the surface, Dadan was not flustered at all, but in reality, she was very anxious. Whenever the bandits were asleep in the middle of the night, she would sneak out to look for Ace.

The Dadan family was no longer being threatened by Garp to take care of this brat; they genuinely considered him family.

"Wow!! Boss, it's a gun!!"

"And a whole bunch of ammunition and all sorts of weapons!"

……

Just as Dadan was about to say something, the bandits who had sneaked out earlier ran back in carrying various steel weapons.

Those were weapons that Kazan casually made when he had nothing else to do. He originally intended to sell them, but now he has the perfect opportunity to use them.

Dadan stared blankly at the various weapons his underlings were holding, his mouth agape. The best weapon in Dadan's family was a large machete; weapons like guns were only found in the Sig family on the next mountain.

"Boss, boss, with these weapons, we might be able to unify the Gorbel Mountains directly!"

A man with a rooster-like hairstyle whispered in Dadan's ear her childhood dream—to rule Gorber Mountain and become the recognized bandit leader of Gorber Mountain!

"Oh dear, Kazan, since you put it that way, then I can't stand on ceremony with you. Just stay here, and let me know if you need anything, hahahahaha!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Kazan didn't mind the politeness and distance in Dadan's tone; it was inevitable when they met for the first time, especially since his bounty was right there.

After a while, once you get to know each other better, it will be fine, just like the villagers in Windmill Village.

Ah Jin didn't say a word from beginning to end, but his dead fish eyes, which looked down on human life, made the bandits of Dadan's family feel terrified, and they didn't dare to get close to him.

As for Nagri, he has already returned to the Uncertainty Terminal. He said that he still has a few friends there and misses them, so he wants to go and see them so that he won't miss the chance to see them again.

Although Kazan and his group have temporarily parted ways with Nagri, Kazan's promise to build him a small boat will still be fulfilled. When the boat is finished, that will probably be the day they truly part ways.

However, even if they part ways, they won't be too sad, since their friendship isn't that deep. They've known each other for less than a month in total. Even the three little ones didn't show much sadness about Nagri's possible departure.

Now Kazan will live a peaceful life in this bandit's den, teaching his apprentices and cultivating his character.

Chapter 110 Tiga

Winters in the East China Sea are warmer than those in the West China Sea and the North China Sea.

On the snow-covered right side of Mount Gorber, in the territory of Sig's gang, the sounds of gunfire and screams created a unique symphony.

"Boss, there are way too many people on the other side. I reckon that guy Sig has united all the bandits on that mountain!"

"What? Don't be afraid, bring up my Italian cannon and blow them up! And those Gatling guns and Barretts that are all fancy-looking but useless, have the guys set them up and show them what real power is."

"Yes!!"

Hiding behind a large rock, Dadan held a steel revolver in each hand and a cigar in his mouth, occasionally raising his hand to fire a couple of shots at the other side.

On the left side of Mount Gorber, the Dadan family home was empty except for Kazan, who sat quietly reading the newspaper. The tranquility of the mountains and forests made Kazan feel as if he had returned to the dojo where he usually trained in Arad.

"Master, Dadan and the others are fighting with Sig's side again."

Just then, a man with a long scar on his face and a gloomy expression suddenly ran in from outside. He had a buzz cut.

"Ah."

Kazan responded softly, patted the empty seat next to him, and gestured for the crew-cut guy to sit down.

More than five months have passed since Kazan arrived at the Dadan family. Kazan has become the behind-the-scenes boss of the Dadan family. According to the people of Windmill Village, Garp has not returned during this time. If he had returned, Makino and Slap would have taken good care of Robin and Perona.

However, when Slap told Kazan not long ago that "Garp will probably come back for the New Year, so be careful then. It would be best to hide in Goa Castle for a while."

Four months ago, Nagri's small boat was completed. Kazan visited him and personally watched him raise his pirate flag and set sail away from the place where he had lived for so many years.

The scarred, short-haired man with a gloomy face, whose expression seemed to say "misanthropy" and "life is not worth living," was the one Kazan rescued from a group of pirates during his visit to Slav.

……

Four months ago, the destination was uncertain.

"Just like your mother, you're a slut, Tiga."

"Shut up, all of you. You haven't tried it. His brother's is what you call comfortable."

"Get the hell out of here, and stay away from me from now on."

"Speaking of which, her father was the real pervert. He turned his daughter into a doll. It's creepy to think about. Luckily, I killed him."

A group of pirates threw a dark-skinned boy into a garbage dump, spitting on him and beating and cursing him. The boy just covered his head and silently endured it in the garbage dump without making a sound.

"Hey, we're talking to you, didn't you hear us?!"

One of the pirates grabbed Tiga by the neck, lifted him into the air, and cursed him viciously.

Tiga's eyes were dull and devoid of any light. He just stared blankly at the pirate who was choking him, remaining silent.

The pirate, feeling a chill run down his spine from Tiga's gaze, threw him to the ground and slashed at him with his sword.

Tiga had a bloody scar slashed across his face, but he didn't even let out a wail, letting the blood stain the ground.

"Alright, kill him."

Hahaha.

Tiga smiled silently. These beasts actually couldn't bear to do anything at a time like this?

Swish.

Will the world turn red before I die?

"No, you have to be alive to see it turn red."

Tiga shifted her gaze to the white-haired, bloodshot-eyed man amidst the falling blood and snowflakes.

Are you God?

"Does a god have a hand like a ghost?"
