The morning after tomorrow, Kazan came out of the smelting room. Seeing that his brothers and sisters were ready to sail, he nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the baby manatee silently licking milk in the corner.
In one month, this little cow has grown to more than four meters, which is simply terrifying.
"Eh... Do you want to keep Moo Moo?"
"Nonsense! This guy will be the same size as a boat in less than two years, and he will hardly encounter any enemies in the East China Sea."
"...I know...brother."
Kazan looked at Robin who lowered his head in frustration. The latter looked a little sad and lost. He walked over to Moo Moo and hugged him.
Kazan rarely saw such obvious sadness on Robin's face. It seemed that after more than a month of getting along, Robin really regarded Moo Moo as a family member.
But Robin himself knew very well that when Moo Moo grew up and could no longer stay on the ship, he would not be able to follow them on the Grand Line.
There are countless sea beasts that can hunt him, not to mention the sea kings and humans. Even if Moo Moo stays under the sea, they can't keep an eye on it, so they can only put Moo Moo in this peaceful East China Sea.
Just like the Rumba Pirates and Rab.
"It's okay, I'll go tell Bellemere and ask her to come and see Moo from time to time."
After a while.
Bellemeier stood on the shore, eating oranges indifferently while looking at the silly cow in front of him.
"Hey... Kazan, do you think I can afford this guy?"
"There is no need to raise it in any special way. Moo Moo is not young anymore. He can chase fish and eat it by himself."
"...Okay, in this case I probably won't be able to see it a few times throughout the year, so I reluctantly agree to it."
"Oh! Thank you very much."
Bellmer moved his gaze away from Mo Mo and moved it to the flag of the Caroso: "By the way, are you leaving today?"
"What did those two girls say?"
"Well... I heard it when I told Nokigao and Nami."
"Hehe, have your two precious daughters cried?"
"I'm crying. I'm crying so loudly. Don't you feel so good?"
"No, no."
"Tsk, bad taste."
Bellemare rolled his eyes at Kazan, then pointed to the pile of things beside Kazan: "So, what are these?"
"arms."
"Are you going to stay here?"
"Yes, you are not going to use those farm tools to deal with pirates every time, are you?"
"There is a naval base nearby. Although it doesn't care about anything, it still looks like it. There are so many bold pirates there, so there is basically no need to prepare weapons."
"Keep it, maybe it will come in use in the future, and... it wasn't good for my little brothers and sisters to go to the villagers' houses every day to eat and drink, so I'll use it as compensation."
Bellemeier sighed, Kazan's younger brothers and sisters really followed his personality and liked to eat and drink everywhere.
In the end, Bellmere asked everyone in the village to take the weapons back. With the arrival of the Monster Pirates, it has to be said that there will indeed be a possibility of pirates landing in the future. It is always better to be prepared and keep them.
A little bit.
What's more, there are just some ordinary swords and not many firearms. After all, they are ordinary villagers who don't know how to use guns.
"Hey! Moo!"
"Moo?"
"If someone bullies you in the future, just say that you are the backup food of the Monster Pirates."
"...moo..."
The manatee floated on the sea and looked at Kazan, tilting its head in confusion. It didn't quite understand what Kazan was talking about.
"never mind."
Kazan waved his hand, froze for a moment, and lowered his body tentatively. Seeing that Kazan just stared at it with no reaction, he tried again.
Still no response, Moo Mo swam uneasily for a few times on the sea surface, and finally chose to leave.
Although I was able to eat, drink and live comfortably, the feeling of lying on the deck all the time was not very good.
At noon, Kazan specially invited the three members of the Bellemere family to have lunch together on Carosso for the last 'voyage'.
On Caruso, it returned to its usual appearance over the past month. Monet and Bellemare were making lunch, and Nocchio was studying attentively.
Sugar and Kazan lay on top of Caruso's head in a "big" position, basking in the sun.
Perona and Nami followed Fon Clay in the observation room to observe the cloud and wind direction.
Bellamy, Ajin, and Tiga are three training madmen who train like crazy whenever they have time. The first two vow to become devil musclemen, while the last one is just dragged into training because he has no ideas.
Robin glanced at the sea from time to time, seemingly still thinking about her moo.
After lunch, Caruso returned in the direction of Cocosia Village. There was a little silence on the way back. The four noisy little girls also became quiet today.
Because everyone knows what will happen next.
Kazan looked at the two little girls huddled next to Bellemere, looking pitiful.
Kazan entered his smelting room and took out two small things, which were tokens symbolizing the encounter and the future.
When they arrived at Cocosia Village, the two little girls, Noqigao and Nami, planned to go home without saying a word. It seemed that they didn't want to say goodbye to the monster family properly.
"They are two awkward little girls, I really don't know who they look like."
Kazan glanced at Bellemeier, who was not in a hurry to leave. The latter looked at his two daughters who were drifting away with a smile.
Does she still not understand her precious daughter?
"Hello!"
"...Uncle Kazan."
Nokigao and Nami turned around at the same time and looked at Kazan who stopped them.
"Pepe and Tangtang look like they want to hug you."
Kazan bent down and reached out to push forward his two bratty sisters who were also having an argument.
Perona and Sugar, who were pushed by Kazan, blushed a little: "Nogigao...Nami..."
Nokigao and Nami's eyes turned red after being called, and then they quickly ran over and hugged Sugar and Perona respectively.
"Huh...you didn't even cry."
Kazan murmured a little disappointedly. He thought that the four little girls would burst into tears together. The scene must be very cute.
However, the scene of them quietly enjoying this moment of hugging is not bad either.
"Here, here's this for you."
"...necklace?"
Nokigao and Nami looked down at the two necklaces that suddenly hung on their chests.
The crystal clear snow water is wrapped in a nearly transparent steel film. The snow water comes from the ability of Monet Snow Fruit.
"It symbolizes 'purity'. I hope you will be as innocent and cute as you are now when you grow up."
Kazan knelt down and gently touched the heads of the two little girls.
"Well...Brother Kazan!"
"Will we meet again?!"
Nuo Qigao looked at the beautiful necklace and hugged Kazan's neck in emotion.
This is the first time Noqigao calls Kazan brother.
Nami, holding the necklace in her hands, stared at Kazan with tearful eyes and asked softly.
"Nokigao, Nami, what is your dream?"
Kazan did not answer Nami's question directly, he just held the two girls in front of him and asked seriously.
"I...want to be a chef who can cook all kinds of ingredients."
"I want to draw a map of the world!"
Looking at the serious looks of the two girls, Kazan nodded: "In this case, you will go to sea sooner or later! In this case, let's meet again on the sea."
