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

"Oh dear, what should we do? If only Master were here."

……

Chapter 113 I don't care about you anymore!

Non-determined destination.

"Hmm! Very good, Tiga."

Kazan praised Tiga for just wiping out an unknown pirate crew, which was Tiga's first real battle since he had been training under Kazan for half a year.

He's swift and decisive, with no weird fetishes or useless nonsense.

In conclusion, Kazan felt the battle ended very smoothly. Although Tiga's fighting strength was not yet strong, his fighting style was very similar to his, which made Kazan feel relieved.

Kazan now dares to say that no one understands Tiga's fighting ability better than him, because he basically keeps track of Tiga's progress and training every moment.

Tiga's current combat level can be simply and directly represented as follows: Strength Lv.1, Agility Lv.3, Stamina Lv.2, Swordsmanship Lv.2, and Intelligence is difficult to assess.

For now, Kazan is very satisfied with Tiga. Unlike Kazan, who has focused on power during his transformation, Kazan requires Tiga to shift his focus towards 'speed'.

Kazan's master placed great emphasis on speed, which is one of the reasons why Kazan's basic attack speed is so fast. It is said that when his master was young, he was even called "Fast Sword".

Tiga has now become quite proficient in using Iaijutsu, which can be considered a minor achievement. Although it is still within the scope of ordinary Iaijutsu, he should not be far from mastering his own sword technique.

"Good, keep practicing while this momentum is going. Today I'll teach you three basic moves: an upward slash, a backflip slash, and a triple slash. Different moves have different effects."

"Yes."

……

The practice continued until evening, and when Kazan returned to Mount Gorber, he ran into Dadan, who had come to the Carroso to find him.

"Kazan! This is bad! Three great pirates have arrived at Windmill Village! Ace, Sabo, Luffy, and the others are also in Windmill Village."

"……Um."

Upon hearing this, Kazan immediately headed towards Windmill Village at full speed, not at all flustered.

How big can the pirates in the East China Sea be? There aren't many with bounties over ten million, and the three small ones with bounties under ten million are enough to handle.

Not to mention Robin and Perona are still in Windmill Village. Even if tens of millions of pirates came to Windmill Village and encountered the two of them, they wouldn't be able to get any benefits. With the two of them working together, they could basically take down anyone who wasn't a Devil Fruit user.

Three powerful pirates arrived in Windmill Village at this time...

Haha, there's probably no one else but them.

Kazan moved through the Gorbel Mountains as swiftly as a monkey, his movements incredibly agile, a barely suppressed smile constantly on his face.

When you have expectations in your heart, the Gorbel Mountain, which usually feels like a short distance, suddenly seems very long.

Kazan transformed into a steel beast, rampaging through the forest, occasionally pulling out his knife and slashing a couple of times. He had carved out a path through the mountains and forests, making it much easier for Tiga, who was trailing far behind him, to keep up.

The sun had just set when Kazan stepped into Windmill Village.

From the moment he entered the windmill village, his air of superiority rose. Kazan straightened his appearance, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly walked towards the center of the windmill village.

If you weren't looking closely, he really did have the air of a carefree, detached hermit.

Kazan stopped as he walked past the entrance of the Makino Tavern, quietly pressing his ear against the door to eavesdrop on the sounds inside.

"Kazan, what are you doing?"

"Oh dear... it seems like my brother has developed some strange fetish... is it because Robin hasn't been taking good care of him?"

"Big brother!!! Long time no see!!!"

"Hehe... Bro, you weren't eavesdropping, were you?"

Kazan was wondering why there was nothing in the tavern except for the voices of the three little ones when he was suddenly startled by a sound coming from behind him.

Turn around, and there it was: Bon Clay, Monet, and Bellamy.

In addition, there are Robin, Perona, Sugar, and Arkin by their side.

The monster family has assembled.

"Hmph, enough with the nonsense! You're so slow! If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have already stormed into the New World!"

"Xiao Feng, look at your hairstyle! Are you trying to be a spirited young man?"

"Monet, look at your rough skin... uh... cough cough, but your figure has developed quite impressively! You've grown taller too, umm! You're already a beautiful young lady!"

"Xiao Bei, look at the mess you've made of yourself! There's a scar here and a dent there."

……

The three people being nagged by Kazan just chuckled softly, a long-lost form of rambling.

"Brother, look at you, your skin has gotten so dark. Monet is heartbroken."

Monet pushed through the crowd and tried to get close, but Kazan slapped her head down: "You brat, stop being so sarcastic. Explain yourself first, what's going on here?"

Kazan frowned, grabbed Monet's arm, and pointed to the black pattern on Monet's shoulder. The rough action made Monet blush a little, and she began to twist her body skillfully.

"What are you doing, twisting your head like that! It's been a year! You still haven't gotten rid of this lousy habit?"

Kazan gently patted Monet's head. "Is this brat born in the Year of the Snake? She loves to wiggle around like that."

"Oh dear, I just can't help it~ Well... brother, please don't interfere. Can't I have a little freedom?"

"Is getting a tattoo something a girl should do?! Do you want me to break your legs?!"

"Brother, you didn't say tattoos were forbidden!"

Monet surprisingly argued with Kazan about something, which means it must have been a very important matter to her.

Kazan was also a little angry. Influenced by his past life, Kazan believed that tattoos were bad!

It's not that people with tattoos are bad, but rather that the act of getting a tattoo itself is bad; it can cause a lot of unnecessary trouble in a person's future life.

"Well... Kazan, it's just a tattoo, what's the big deal? Look, I got one too."

"Big brother...I...I got a tattoo too."

Foncrais and Bellamy, standing nearby, showed Kazan their thighs and backs, each adorned with the same black patterns as Monet's.

The main design on the Monster Pirates' flag is the skull that represents Kazan.

"Wow! Pepe wants one too!"

"Hmm...?...I'll take the sugar too!"

"Brother, I think having a tattoo like that is pretty good. Look at the Sun Pirates, they have them, and they even have branding marks on their bodies."

Before Kazan could even begin to discipline the two unruly little brats, Robin stepped in and stopped him.

The Sun Pirates are nothing like that! They...

"Hmph! Do whatever you want! I don't care whether I have an older brother or not anyway, they all ignore me!"

"If you don't care about me anymore, why did you come back?! Get lost!"

“I don’t care about you anymore! Akin, Tiga, let’s go back to Carosso.”

Kazan snorted, ignoring his rebellious sons, and led the two taciturn men back to Carosoro.

Tija was stunned. He had just gone through all that trouble to get here, and now he had to go back the way he came?

So he ran around in vain?

As for Ajin, he didn't say anything. He just did whatever his older brother said, glanced at everyone, and followed Kazan.

The remaining people looked at each other and sighed.

My older brother is becoming more and more childish.

They simply couldn't understand why Kazan was so averse to tattoos; to them, it was as simple as changing a hairstyle.

Chapter 114 Tattoos Representing Bonds

On the Carroso, Kazan locked himself in the smelting room and ignored everyone.

"elder brother……"

"Quack quack..."

After discussing it, they decided to send the two youngest and most pampered sisters to appease Kazan.

"Don't talk to me! I don't have disobedient little sisters like you! Go away! Go away!"

"...Waaaaah... Peipei will listen to her brother and not get a tattoo... Brother, please don't ignore Peipei ┭┮﹏┭┮"

"Woo woo ...

Inside the smelting room, Kazan's heart almost melted as he listened to Perona's pitiful, soft sobs outside the door. As for Sugar's strange crying, Kazan was already immune to it.

After all, Kazan had been hearing that crying for almost six years, and the obedient Perona rarely cried. This rare instance of her crying made Kazan's heart ache terribly.

Robin previously said something like, "Perona might have a bit of a princess complex," but how could such a well-behaved girl like Perona possibly have a princess complex!

Although he believed Robin's words, Kazan also trusted his own judgment! Robin must have misunderstood!

Yes! Kazan rarely gets proven wrong! Perona definitely doesn't have a princess complex.

After hesitating for a moment, Kazan gently opened the door a crack and brought in Perona, who was sobbing and clutching Kumashi. Then, just as Sugar was about to follow him in, he slammed the door shut.

Little Sugar, who was locked outside the door, was stunned for a moment: "...Awoooooo!!!"

Bang bang bang!

Little Sugar was wailing and pounding on the door. After pounding for a while, she suddenly paused, touched the door, opened another door, and jumped inside.

Within seconds, it was already inside the smelting chamber.

Inside the smelting chamber at this moment.

"Don't cry, don't cry, your brother knows Peipei is a good girl."

“┭┮﹏┭┮……Brother, Peipei is not getting tattoos anymore.”

"Okay, okay, brother knows. Don't cry."

"elder brother……"
