"Ah... I see, Xiao Feng's side seems to be going well. Come on down."
At the harbor of Harvest Island, Kazan lowered his head and saw a warship approaching from the side. The figure on the deck was very conspicuous and waving to this side.
"Yo~~Kazan, Monet-chan~ You guys seem to be very successful."
"Hmph, nonsense, how can the world's strongest in the future fail? Stop talking nonsense and go to sea quickly. We still have a Devil Fruit in our hands. We don't want to be attacked by the navy and pirates at the same time."
"He will summon the slave family..."
Feng Clay complained dissatisfiedly, but walked towards the rudder of the ship seriously.
"Wait! Where's the sugar?"
"...hiss!!!"
"You guys don't know how to..."
"Su Tang went to pee. I wonder if she will pee her pants without anyone to help her. Monet-chan, you should go check it out."
"Fuck, you scared me."
Kazan wiped away his sweat, his heart beating so hard that he almost turned into a ghost.
"Brother...are you going to the West Sea next?"
"If nothing else happens, yes, if you find a sister who is the same age as you, you will have to compare who is older than you two."
"Brother, before that...can you take me and Sugar back to the place where we were born? Please..."
"Don't be so polite when talking to your family. No matter how rude your request is, I will agree to it."
Kazan flicked Monet's forehead, interrupting her speech.
"whee."
"The place where you were born was before..."
"No! The place where we were born is Cocos Island."
"It's a place I haven't heard of before. If you don't know how to get there, it will take more time."
Kazan leaned on the railing of the warship, looking indifferently at the receding shore below and speaking softly to the yellow-haired boy who was running madly in embarrassment.
"Please take me with you!"
"Please let me join you!"
"I will definitely prove my worth to you!"
"You can do anything to me, just take me on board!"
Bellamy rushed to the shore panting, not caring about resting, looking at the warship and the red figure that had begun to leave the harbor, and yelled crazily.
This was his desperate cry with all his might, and it was the real beginning of his determination to change his destiny.
"Do you... know how to get to Cocos Island?"
Bellamy raised his head hesitantly, met the red eyes staring at him, nodded with a trembling body and replied, "I know!"
"Then come up."
Bellamy looked at the rope ladder thrown in front of him, grabbed it excitedly, and climbed up crazily.
Kazan continued to lean against the railing and stare at Harvest Island, which was getting smaller and smaller, without even looking at Bellamy, who climbed up and stood aside cautiously.
"Well...I want to join you, I want to be your subordinate!"
"I don't need any subordinates on my ship."
"...I can do whatever you want me to do! I can even start as a handyman!"
"...Do you have a family?"
"...Now, there is no more."
Kazan tilted his head and glanced at him and asked.
"Oh, the people on this ship were once alone, but now, we are family."
"They are my most cherished brothers and sisters and the people I value most. They are the only ones I have now."
"Everyone who hurts them or insults them must die."
"You said you wanted to join us?"
"That means you want to become our family and my little brother."
"Then...you have to show your awareness of being our family."
"Understand?"
Bellamy was a little confused when he listened to Kazan's words. He had lost his family since he was a child, and he didn't understand what Kazan's consciousness meant.
"I..."
"I don't need any subordinates on my ship, I just need family members who can support me."
Kazan left one last word and then left. He had just finished fighting Doflamingo and had to think carefully about the gains from this battle.
Bellamy looked at Kazan's slightly tired figure and felt a little touched.
His younger brothers must have been looking at his back like this.
Bellamy's eyes gradually began to become hazy, he clenched his hands, gritted his teeth, and spoke firmly to the back in front of him.
"I will prove to you that I can definitely become a family member you can trust!"
"And when you are tired, I will shoulder the responsibility and protect your younger brothers and sisters who are still weak!"
"I swear!"
Kazan didn't have any reaction when he heard the first sentence. Anyone can say big things.
However, when I heard the second sentence, I was slightly touched. I turned my head slightly, glanced behind me and murmured: "If it can really become like that..."
"That's really great."
...
"Bellamy-chan, are you sure this is the direction?"
"Yes, Mr. Funkley, this must be the right direction. It should be not far ahead."
"Well...you don't need to be so outspoken. Now that we're on the ship, we're a family. Just call me Xiao Feng."
"...No, I have not yet been recognized by Mr. Kazan, and I dare not become your family member without authorization."
"Oh...you are so stubborn. We are obviously the same age, so there is no need to be so respectful. Let's talk about each other's stories."
In front of the rudder of the ship, the poor toolman Fon Clay and the down-and-out Bellamy got together and talked to each other.
Monet was taking care of Sugar while eating, and glanced at Bellamy from time to time.
She doesn't like this man very much.
Because some time ago, Bellamy came to bother her and Kazan's sweet life all day long, and also yelled about how stupid Doflamingo was.
This made Monet, who admired Kazan extremely, feel quite hostile and unhappy towards Bellamy from then on.
"snort!"
Monet snorted disdainfully. Regardless of whether this man would become a family member in the future, Monet had already decided not to be with him.
Sugar sat obediently in Monet's arms and ate, but sometimes her eyes would wander around the boat.
Boring~
I want to piss off my brother.
"Where's Guagua?"
"You are practicing swordsmanship at the stern of the boat."
"oh."
"Monet-chan~"
Suddenly, Feng Clay's voice came over: "We can already see Cocos Island! I didn't expect it to be quite close."
"Oh, you go find a place to park the warship and hide it first. I'll call my brother."
"Yeah~"
Soon.
The five eldest children, who were still young, gathered in a harbor on Cocos Island.
“It looks like a super prosperous island!”
Feng Clay looked a little excited when he looked at the lively scene at the harbor.
"Of course, this place is in the center of the North Sea like Harvest Island, and this island is also home to one of the richest countries in the North Sea, the Kingdom of Kos. The Kingdom's guard force is quite strong, so there are generally no pirates.
If the gangsters come here to cause trouble, even the navy won’t bother to place too many troops here, and will just put hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people here to deal with the welfare of the world’s government-affiliated countries.”
Although Bellamy is only fourteen years old, he knows a lot about Beihai and told Kazan and his friends a lot of things they didn't know.
"But, the most important thing... is because this is the hometown of 'Foil Sword' Bista, the captain of the fifth division of the Whitebeard Pirates, right?"
