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

Moreover, the pirates paid the 'high price' offered by Bellemere without saying a word.

In fact, if Monet were here, she definitely wouldn't have been able to accept this price. Monet was in charge of the Monster Family's economic management, and she had a good understanding of the average prices of various resources.

She could roughly judge the prices in a village based on its size, but since she wasn't here, the monster family suffered a small loss without anyone noticing.

Although everyone thought those dishes were really inexpensive, or even cheap.

Chapter 140 Kazan is really angry!

"Eee-ah~ Let me go, Nee-chan~"

"Let's give up. It's time for us to go back."

"Okay! Stop moving! If you let go, you'll fall and die."

In mid-air, Monet held Sugar, who was struggling, and scolded her. Monet was not as doting on Sugar as others.

Perona floated slowly behind Monet, completely unfazed, knowing her brother would never hit her, so the little girl was fearless.

As for Nami and Nojiko, because they were running ahead, they didn't notice that their two newly met friends were missing.

When they entered Cocosia Village, they found that the village was still the same as when they left, as if nothing had happened.

Nami ran up to an old man who was leisurely smoking a pipe and asked, "Grandpa Twitch, where's Bellemere?"

"Ah... Nami, why did you sneak back? It's dangerous here... but it should be alright now."

Seeing Grandpa Twitch starting to mutter to himself as usual, Nojiko anxiously asked again, "Grandpa Twitch! Where did Bellemere go?"

"That girl went ashore with that group of pirates, saying she would keep an eye on them until they left."

"What? Joining pirates?"

Nojiko was taken aback by Twitch's words. Turning her head, she saw Nami running towards the shore: "Nami, wait! Be careful!"

The two little girls ran all the way, and when they were almost at the edge of the village, they could see the boat moored on the shore at the village entrance.

"...How terrifying..."

"Let's hide to the side and observe first."

Karoso's dragon head was facing the village entrance, and from Nojiko and Nami's perspective, they were being stared directly at by Karoso's red eyes.

In addition, the various monster carvings on Caroso's ship really frightened Nami, but Nojiko, as the older sister, was obviously calmer and grabbed Nami's arm to hide behind a nearby house.

Then the two of them peeked out and secretly watched the Carroso, making sure Bellemere was actually on board before they went over.

On the Carroso at this time.

On the deck at the bow of the ship, there was a small tea table where Robin was chatting and laughing with Bellemere next to him, holding a few newspapers.

Bellemere ate the tea and snacks prepared by Monet while reading the newspaper and laughing heartily.

"Hahaha... How can there be such an unimpressive strongest in the West Sea... Pfft... being chased and beaten by an old man with a broom."

"Hehe... My brother wanted to try milking a goat, so he secretly went into someone's yard and secretly took advantage of their goat."

clap clap.

"I'm dying of laughter, hahaha, is this old man really hailed as the strongest bounty hunter in the West Sea?"

"Ah... because of this, no pirates dared to go to that town afterward, and the naval base in that town became idle."

Bellemere slammed her hand on the table while looking at newspapers from when the Monster Pirates were in the West Blue, even though many of the news articles had been manipulated.

However, Bellemere could still see something: this monster pirate crew was different from ordinary pirate crews; at least they were relatively approachable.

A typical pirate crew wouldn't sit and chat with a woman who was just pointing a gun at them.

"Seriously...it really does look like it."

"Ok?"

Robin listened to Bellemere's murmurs, looked at her, and found that Bellemere was staring at Kazan, who was scolding Sugar.

Bellemere felt that Kazan at this moment was similar to when she was scolding Nami, while Perona, who was secretly laughing next to her, was Nojiko.

Aside from the fact that one of them acts as the 'elder brother' and the other as the 'foster mother,' they are quite similar in how they raise children.

Because of this, Bellemere thought that Kazan might actually be a decent person.

He is a man who makes it easy for people to like him.

Kazan was furious. According to the confession, the two little devils had even learned to hide.

"Monet! Go and break me a branch!"

These two little brats must be taught a lesson this time. How dare they run away in such an unfamiliar place! What if they do something like this again when they reach the Grand Line and encounter danger?!

Monet didn't hesitate at all; he flew off the boat and broke off a thin twig from a nearby tree.

Splash.

Kazan took the branch that Monet had brought him and swung it around in the air twice.

Sugar, who was silently enduring Kazan's reprimand with her head down, shrank back when she heard the sound of something cutting through the air. Then she looked up and burst into tears, standing there trembling and unable to speak.

After all, this is the first time I've seen Kazan so angry. In the past, the most ruthless Kazan would do was lightly tap Sugar a couple of times.

But now, for the first time ever, Sugar wants to hit her brother with a tree branch!

Perona, standing nearby, also changed her expression and immediately hugged Kazan's leg, saying, "Yamete yo, Onii-chan! I was the one who took Sugar out, don't hit her!"

"Then I'll teach you a lesson too!"

This time, even Perona's coquettishness was useless. Kazan pulled her to stand next to Sugar, determined to teach them a lesson they would never forget!

"Kazan."

Just as Kazan was about to make his move, Bon Clay, who had been watching from the sidelines, stopped him.

In Bon Clay's view, Kazan's method might be effective, but it would only make Perona and Sugar afraid of Kazan and stop running around. They wouldn't realize that their behavior was wrong.

Kazan watched as Bon Clay shook his head, calmed himself down, and then walked to the railing, looking at Cocoyasi Village without saying a word.

Feng Kelei looked down at his two still somewhat frightened sisters and sighed, "Our journey will become increasingly dangerous. If you keep running around like this, you might cause a lot of trouble, and you might even hurt others."

"This is not your fault. You are still children after all. It is your nature to love playing. Rather, it is our fault for not being able to provide you with a comfortable environment to grow up in."

"but……"

Feng Kelei hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to make the two little girls realize the seriousness of the problem, but this pause was interrupted by Kazan, who was looking at Cocoyasi Village.

"In that case, you two can stay in this village from now on. I think this village is quite safe, and there are children your age, which is a good place for you to grow up."

Kazan's words contained an element of defiance; although he wasn't serious, the fact that he said them meant that he had genuinely considered the issue.

Chapter 141 Perona's Princess Syndrome

"Woo woo woo oh oh oh awoo awoo! Ee ya da!"

"Don't send us away, Onii-chan!"

Perona and Sugar, the two little girls, were already too scared to speak because of Kazan, and their eyes were brimming with tears. Now, upon hearing Kazan's words, they burst into tears.

They were simple-minded and couldn't detect the deliberate intent in Kazan's tone; they simply believed that their brother was really going to abandon them there.

"Sugar, don't stay here! Don't chase Sugar away, waaaaah, Onee-chan~"

Sugar was anxious, tears streaming down her face, snot almost falling into her mouth as she kept howling, but because Kazan's expression was very serious, she didn't dare to come over to him.

She could only run to her older sister, Monet, hoping that her sister could speak on her behalf and persuade her brother not to leave her behind.

Seeing his sister looking so pitiful, Monet knelt down and wiped her snot, then looked at Kazan and decided to leave the matter to his brother.

Then Monet simply left, ran into the kitchen, and closed the door. No matter how Sugar called her or knocked on the door, Monet ignored her.

Sugar was even more heartbroken. Even her older sister didn't want her anymore. Was she really going to be left here?

Sugar began to reflect on her mistakes and what Fung Clay had just said. Perhaps she really had gone too far; at least she should have told her older brother and sister before leaving.

Thinking back to when she was training under Uncle Beckman, Uncle Lucky, and Uncle Yasopp, she once ran away without a word using the Door-Door Fruit. When the three uncles found her, they seemed quite angry. Even the fat uncle, who was the kindest and loved her the most, angrily refused to give her any meat or bones.

However, her three uncles were only angry, but they didn't yell at her or hit her, so Sugar didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at the time.

Sugar was still leaning against the kitchen door, lost in thought, while Perona on the other side had already clung to Kazan's coattails.

"Onii-chan, Pepe will never do it again, waaaaaah ┭┮﹏┭┮, Pepe knows she was wrong, please forgive me."

Perona clung tightly to Kazan's pants with both little hands, her face pressed against Kazan's thigh, shaking her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face and smearing all over Kazan's pants.

Kazan remained unmoved. He could tell that Perona was simply apologizing, asking for forgiveness, and worried about being abandoned.

However, she didn't reflect on her actions at all. If this continues, once this matter is over and Perona forgets about it, she will do something similar again. Moreover... the way Perona smirked when Kazan was disciplining Sugar just now gave people the feeling that she was completely unperturbed.

Do you believe you will definitely be forgiven, which is why you dare to act recklessly?

Kazan reached out his hand to Perona. Little Perona noticed her brother's action and looked up at his large hand with hope.

If her brother pats her head, it means he has forgiven Peipei.

Perona's eyes blinked, her tears stopped flowing, and her big eyes filled with excitement.

Snapped.

"Eh?"

Perona was pulled aside by Kazan and fell to the ground.

Her doting brother actually pushed her to the ground?

Perona sat on the ground in a daze, a questioning sound of disbelief escaping her throat. Even the little ghost that had been floating beside her stopped moving and stood frozen in mid-air.

Without turning his head, Kazan walked towards Bellemere, who was watching everything from the bow of the ship, and deliberately said loudly, "Bellemere, do you want two daughters?"

"Well... I already have two at home, but I don't mind having two more."

Bellemere gave Kazan a very polite reply.

Sugar was still leaning against the door, stunned and unresponsive, but Perona stood up and shouted at Kazan, "I will absolutely not leave!!!"

After saying that, Perona ran back to her bedroom and hugged Kumasi on the bed, sobbing uncontrollably.

Looking at the two little girls' pitiful appearance, Bellemere couldn't help but ask Kazan, "Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"
