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

"Brother, you'll regret underestimating Monet."

Monet, with a slender, jade-like finger in his mouth, gazed at Kazan with tender affection, his entire body radiating a chilling aura.

Bellamy didn't say much, rubbed his nose, took out the 'Thug' and put it on, getting into a fighting stance.

call.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting my state, another battle began.

(Battle in progress... Battle over.)

This battle shows that the three of them must have cooperated a lot in the Calm Belt. They fought with great synergy. Monet and Bellamy's combination managed to fight Kazan for more than 30 minutes.

After the battle, Kazan felt like he was almost out of health and his Haki was almost gone.

"You've become very strong... Monet... Beckham."

Kazan, panting, walked up to his two younger siblings, who were quite disheveled from the battle, and patted their heads.

"Of course...bro~"

"hey-hey……"

Monet, feigning weakness and exhaustion, leaned against Kazan, gently inhaling his brother's scent.

The smell of sweat mixed with blood is not pleasant, but Monet found it comforting.

Bellamy lowered his head shyly and smiled secretly. All that training and fighting was for this moment to be praised by his brother.

Monet: Strength Lv.3, Agility Lv.5, Stamina Lv.4, Armament Haki Lv.1, Observation Haki Lv.5, Snow-Snow Fruit Lv.5

Bellamy: Strength Lv.4, Agility Lv.3, Stamina Lv.4, Armament Haki Lv.2, Observation Haki Lv.2, Physical Skill Lv.3

"Aaaaaah... the kids have all gotten stronger... the pressure of being the eldest is so immense~"

Kazan looked up at the sky, uttering words that were not entirely true, but with a sense of satisfaction.

The remaining people didn't need to be tested either. Robin and Perona didn't receive much training; what they gained was experience and knowledge.

Kazan trained Arkin, Tiga, and Sugar right under his nose, so he knew them all too well and didn't need to test them.

"Well then, let's take a final rest today, and get ready to set off tomorrow."

……

It's time to leave Windmill Village, so here's a long-awaited summary of everyone's panel (arranged by age from oldest to youngest). The following word count is a bonus.

Kazan (19 years old): Strength Lv.5, Agility Lv.5, Stamina Lv.5, Intelligence Lv.?, Armament Haki Lv.3, Observation Haki Lv.4, Dual Swordsmanship Lv.5, Steel-Steel Fruit Lv.5

The monster family consists of nine members in total. That concludes the summary!

Panel attributes do not equal combat power. For example, the combination of Robin and Perona can even pose a threat to Kazan, Bon Clay, and Bellamy.

The four main characters of the Monster Family, ranked as follows: Kazan > Bon Clay > Monet > Bellamy

East Blue Chapter Preview: One last member of the family will join in the East Blue, bringing the total to ten when they enter the Grand Line!

Chapter 116 Target Shimotsuki

At the same strait, the members of the Monster Family were already waiting on the Caroso for Kazan to board and depart.

"Kazan, just you wait, one day I will defeat you and become the Pirate King!"

"When I become the Pirate King, Kazan, you'll become my crew member."

"I'm the one who will become the Pirate King!!!"

The parting wasn't too sad, because everyone had a feeling that they would definitely meet again in the future. With that expectation in their hearts, the sadness wasn't too intense.

"If you want to become the Pirate King, you'll have to defeat me first."

"You remember what I told you before, right? Wear your own rings when you go out to sea."

"I will be waiting for you at the end of the Grand Line."

As Kazan spoke, he stomped his foot, gesturing to the ring buried beneath the ground, and then boarded the Carosso.

"Set sail, you rascals!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The three little ones below the boat listened to the powerful roar from the boat, and each of them felt longing and admiration. They wanted to find such reliable companions in the future!

The Carroso left without a trace, and no one knew about it except for Ace, Sabo, and Luffy. The villagers of Windmill Village and Dadan's family would probably only receive the news through the three little ones.

Shortly after the Carroso left, another ship gradually entered the waters near the windmill village.

The Red Furs.

……

"Wow!! My sister's cooking is so delicious!"

"Haha, it's quite difficult to make delicious food in the Calm Belt. Monet-chan's cooking skills were greatly honed there."

Hearing the praise from her younger sister and second brother, Monet involuntarily puffed out her chest. It was clear that she was very proud of her improved cooking skills, and she even glanced at Robin 'inadvertently'.

Robin maintained a faint smile throughout, showing absolutely no reaction to Monet's 'yin-yang eyes'.

Meanwhile, Bellamy was teaching his chosen underling, Akin, some secret combat techniques.

Perona, on the other hand, was secretly learning Robin's elegant eating manners; the little girl always regarded the intellectual and graceful Robin as her role model.

Funker was making full use of his social skills, pestering Tiga incessantly.

Kazan sat in the main seat, watching Caroso get into a lively atmosphere again, and chuckled to himself.

The Monster Pirates have set sail again, and after only one day at sea, they've already made it into the newspapers.

[A monster pirate crew has appeared in the East Blue, and no one dares to stop them as they march towards the Grand Line!]

This statement is half true and half false. It is true that no one dares to stop them wherever they go. Any one of the members of their Monster Pirates with a bounty is not of the level that should be found in the East Blue. Ordinary pirates would run for their lives if they saw them.

Even if the navy sees them, they generally won't take action, but will choose to keep them at a distance to ensure they don't harm ordinary civilians.

As for the mistake, it's that the goal is to 'directly target the Grand Line'. Due to Kazan's personal request, the Monster Pirates are currently searching for a place called 'Shimotsuki Village'.

That day, Kazan ate dinner first and sat alone on Caroso's head, enjoying the sea breeze.

While Kazan was in a daze, a pair of arms suddenly reached out from behind and gently grabbed Kazan's ghostly hand.

"You found out?"

"How could I not notice?"

Kazan didn't turn around; he could tell it was Robin behind him simply by the rise and fall of her back and the scent of her hair wafting to his nose.

"fine."

Ding ding.

Kazan reached out and flicked the two limiters stuck on his Ghost Hand twice. With these things in place, Ghost Hand couldn't cause any trouble.

"I'm still worried."

"...Things should be better once we get to Shimotsuki Village."

"If only that were true."

Robin squeezed in, leaning on Kazan's shoulder, her hands tightly gripping Kazan's ghostly hand, feeling the veins twitching from time to time, her heart filled with uncontrollable worry.

Kazan didn't comfort Robin. Verbal comfort was meaningless to Robin. She was sensitive and intelligent, so she was prone to overthinking, just like Sabo. Ordinary comfort had little effect on people like them.

Kazan himself was confused about the Ghost Hand, after all, it was his first time taking the Berserker path, the path he disliked the most.

If Master were here... or even if Senior Brother or Sister were here, I wouldn't be in this bewildered situation.

Kazan can only vaguely sense that the problem with Ghost Hand is probably related to his mindset after taking Tiga as his apprentice.

He needs a senior figure with extensive experience in swordsmanship to teach him. This doesn't refer to a high level of swordsmanship in combat; Hawkeye might not be able to discern Kazan's condition.

There must be such a person in Wano Country, but Wano Country is too far away. The nearest hope right now is Shimotsuki Village, where Shimotsuki Koushirou of the Shimotsuki lineage lives.

He opened a sword dojo called "Isshin," and his swordsmanship level is hard to guess, but he must have considerable skill in the field. Moreover, his father, Kousaburo, was a famous swordsman in Wano Country and a powerful blacksmith who forged the two great swords, "Enma" and "Wado Ichimonji."

Perhaps he can help Kazan figure out what's going on.

……

On the way to Frostmoon Village, Kazan was on his way.

The Red-Haired Pirates have arrived at Windmill Village and met Luffy, who is still stranded there. Ace and Sabo, on the other hand, have some matters to attend to and have temporarily separated.

"Hey hey hey!!! Kazan was your master?! And he just left, this is really... great! Wahahahahaha."

"Hahaha, Shanks is really afraid of that Kazan guy."

"That's right, because Shanks was chased and hacked by Mihawk for a whole month."

……

The story of Shanks and Luffy begins again, only now with Kazan added to the mix.

……

"So, it's finally back... Red Dog."

"Dover seems very excited?"

"Fufufufu, of course! It's very exciting to have a worthy opponent."
