Kazan, Bellemare and the others lay quietly on the soft grass.
"How's it going? What are your plans next?"
Kazan raised the glass of wine in his hand and handed it to Crocodile beside him, then got another glass for himself, and at the same time asked Bellemeier on the other side.
"It's nothing, just continue Teacher Zefa's work. There are more than just a few people in the [NEO Navy] as you see. The people in this sea who are willing to follow the name of 'Z' are like the crucian carp crossing the river."
Bellmere said something proudly, stood up and tied up the [NEO Navy] unique black cloak of justice.
"Ho~ Then now you are also the leader, I didn't expect that."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that. I originally planned to stay in Cocosia Village to raise Nokigao and Nami and take care of them until they grow old. But everything has changed since you came here. Alas~"
Bellemare turned his head and glanced at the nervous Kazan, covered his forehead with one hand and sighed helplessly: "Noqigao has embarked on the same path as me, and Nami has been messing around in the East China Sea.
I really don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.”
"Ah hahaha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. That girl is very smart. Besides, who would dare to bully her as long as she says, 'My brother is Chitong'?"
Kazan smiled and waved his hand, then focused his gaze on the young girls not far ahead who were working hard on themselves: "You should be more worried, right? These children haven't grown up yet, and today's [NEO
The Navy] is not yet strong enough to continue Zefa’s cause in the New World.”
Those young girls did not collapse because of Zefa's death. Instead, they transformed their powerlessness and grief into motivation to move forward, which grew stronger at a terrifying speed.
As expected of being your student.
Kazan was originally thinking about how to comfort these children, but now it seems that there is no need. Zefa has paved the way for them in the future.
These are his heroic and righteous successors.
"...People can become really strong when they want to protect something important."
Bellemere and Kazan looked at the boys and girls together.
They would no longer beg her and Zefa to reduce their training as they had before, let alone take the initiative to fish in troubled waters.
"When they grow up, they know that without enough power, they cannot protect important people."
Kazan wiped the corner of his mouth with some distress. He understood this feeling as well.
This was an uncomfortable time.
But no one can help them get through it.
Human beings are like this, they always have to wake up after losing something.
Bellamy, Tiga, and Tezolo lost their companions and loved ones.
Monet, Sugar, Dibalu, Niu Niu, Robin, and Pepe lost their homes.
Who can truly have a wonderful past when they can reach this place on this sea?
Kazan raised his head and looked at the sky, then glanced at Fon Clay and Crocodile beside him. Even if Kazan didn't know it, he understood that these two people had a not-so-good past.
"What we are working hard for now is just to give ourselves and our families a better future."
Kazan murmured a few words, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep under the drunken sunshine.
When I woke up again it was dusk in the evening.
"woke up?"
Feng Clay stood beside Kazan, stretched out his hands and hugged Kazan.
"Hmm...Where are Bellemere and the others?"
"Gone."
"Is that so? Really, I won't even say goodbye."
Kazan rubbed his eyes, yawned, and then looked at Feng Clay in front of him: "Huh? Xiao Feng, can your imitation fruit still make you bigger?"
"Idiot, you have become smaller. Speaking of which, your eyes are really nostalgic."
Crocodile's mocking voice sounded from the side, and at the same time he grabbed Kazan, who had turned into a small one, and placed it in front of his chest to look at it.
"Huh?"
Kazan looked at the two lumps of the boss in front of him, then raised his hand and put it in front of his head to take a closer look: "What...what is going on?"
Kazan looked confused, and it was only at this moment that he realized that his voice had become grandma's.
"That hateful woman named 'Ain'! She actually used the power of the retrograde fruit on my elder brother while I was sleeping! I will definitely beat her up the next time I see him!"
Bellamy's angry voice came, how 'empty' was it?
Feng Clay glanced at the guilty Bellamy and moved his lips, but still did not expose him.
Feng Clay's domineering power has reached an advanced level now, and it is impossible for Bellamy's domineering power to counteract his domineering power. Bellamy was obviously pretending to be asleep at the time.
"I...even if I regress, I should still be 12 years old, right? I'm obviously more than 12 years old, right?!"
Kazan was placed on the grass by Crocodile. He looked up at the tall people and felt dumbfounded.
"Your ability to regress the fruit was used twice. You were originally 27 years old, so now you are... 3 years old."
Feng Klei squatted down and looked at Kazan with some interest. It was obvious that he was also very interested in Kazan's appearance.
After all, even as the first member of the monster family to meet Kazan, he had only seen Kazan in his teens.
I have never seen one so young.
"Did your red eyes turn out to be natural? I always thought it was some kind of disease you got later? And your weird blood power is really interesting."
Crocodile also spread her legs and squatted down like a man. She didn't realize that she was wearing a small leather skirt. Kazan saw the scenery under the skirt and didn't care.
But now Kazan's eyes have returned to the state before he awakened.
In other words, both eyes are burning like bloody flames.
But...that's all.
Bang!
Kazan punched the ground with a small pink fist, directly smashing the earth into pieces.
The terrible Yingying fist!
"Is it only the appearance that has changed? Is it because the fruit's ability has not been fully developed, or is it that the fruit has regressed and can only do this?"
"It should be the former. It is said that some people with the ability to regress fruit in the past have said that the regressor fruit regresses time, and even the attributes and properties of things will be regressed. As for you... I don't rule out whether it is your weird ability.
It’s causing trouble.”
Crocodile frowned and looked at Kazan, holding his chin for a moment to analyze: "Besides, you can't guarantee what will happen to you if that little girl named Ain comes to you again."
"But even if it is only to this extent now, it will have a great impact on Kazan. With your hands now, you can't hold Dark Moon and Useless."
Feng Clay gently patted the two knives behind his back. Considering the width of the handles, Kazan really couldn't pick them up now.
Too thick to hold.
"I..."
"Okay Kazan, it's time for us to go back. Ain said that the ability will be released in three days, well... let's go back as soon as possible."
Otherwise, Monet's girls wouldn't be able to see it.
Feng Clay thought about the expressions and behaviors of the little girls at home when they saw Kazan like this, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Uh...I think...wait!"
...
Marie Joa, something big is happening.
Wulaoxing's conference room.
"Hey! What do you guys mean?"
The five old men looked at the group of people in front of them with gloomy expressions.
If it weren't for the group of navy standing in front of them, they might have thought that a war was about to begin.
"I don't want to say it a second time. We are here to abolish the Shichibukai system. The peace of this sea does not need pirates to help maintain it. Our navy is enough."
Warring States looked at the five bad old men in front of him expressionlessly. If he had only been alone before, maybe he would have thought about it for a while longer.
But now, the whole navy is unanimous.
Then there is nothing to hesitate about anymore.
At this moment, standing behind Sengoku were the Navy Chief of Staff He, the Navy Hero Garp, the five Navy Admirals, and countless elite Vice Admirals from the Navy Headquarters.
Their move was tantamount to forcing a woman to have a baby. After all, not everyone can mess around in a place like this.
But now that they are here, Wulaoxing must also understand their determination.
Wulaoxing also understood this. They looked at each other and made eye contact secretly.
"We must discuss this matter."
Among them, an old man with straight hair and a long beard said something in a conciliatory manner.
"You don't need to discuss it. It doesn't matter whether you agree with the abolition of the Shichibukai system. We will no longer take the Shichibukai seriously."
The attitude of the navy of the Warring States Period could not be said to be extremely tough, but it was more like a dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.
"Warring States! What do you guys mean?"
The grumpy old man with a mustache slammed the table angrily and yelled at Warring States.
"What do you mean, old man?! Do you still expect the Navy to treat a group of pirates as guests?!"
Sakaski was not a good-tempered guy. He was still covered in steam, and a few drops of lava fell from his hands to the floor of the conference room.
The hawkish navy, including Green Bull, instantly became murderous.
Having just killed their mentor, they are not in a good mood now.
"Can."
The bald man in white robe holding the first-generation Onei Tetsu held the knife and said calmly.
"Huh?!" x4
The other four people all turned to look at him in shock.
"In that case, we don't have anything else to do, let's go first."
At this time, Sengoku's face regained a little bit of the formulaic smile, and then he turned around and left with a group of marines and returned to Marinevando.
After everyone left, the remaining four people looked at the bald man in white robe.
"It's nothing. Im-sama has already expected this. 'If you can delay it, just delay it. If you can't, forget it. The Shichibukai system has no value.' These are Im-sama's exact words."
"Is that so?"
"That's no problem."
"Why is it said at this time that the existence of the Shichibukai is no longer necessary? Hasn't it always been used to balance the navy and pirates?"
"Has anything happened on the ocean lately?"
...
Grand Line, Chambord Islands, Island No. 14.
"I didn't expect you to come back here, Mr. Tiga."
"I didn't expect that you have been guarding this place for us."
Tiga and Brooke were sitting in an empty tavern, sipping the wine in their hands and talking about old times.
"How's it going? Have you met Rab?"
"Hey ho ho ho, not yet. He must be playing happily with his family somewhere in the sea now...I'm not in a hurry to meet him."
"Really..."
Tija listened to Brooke's words and nodded: "Brooke, are you a user with the Underworld Fruit ability?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Mr. Tiga."
"You won't die, right? Even if you are killed by me, you won't die, right?"
"Who knows, maybe, but Mr. Tiga, you can't kill me."
When Brooke said this, he looked seriously at Tiga beside him. He had already seen the completely green half of Tiga's arm, but he didn't bring it up.
"Oh? So confident in yourself."
"No, I have confidence in you. People from the monster family will not take action against their friends."
"...Um."
Tija was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his right hand, and then nodded: "I recently heard that somewhere in the paradise, the power of the underworld fruit is recorded. How about it, do you want to come with me and take a look."
"Hey ho ho ho, do you want to have an adventure? Travel? I'm so happy, it's really exciting."
Brooke bit her afro happily after hearing Tiga's words, and even couldn't help humming a short song.
"'Sword Soul' and 'Bi Song'? It has the underworld fruit that can bring people back to life. It's interesting. Why don't you take us with you?"
At the door of the tavern, two figures leaned on the wall next to the door and looked at Tija and Brooke in front of the bar.
"A young man and a bear? Ho ho ho ho... What an interesting combination."
Brooke turned his head and glanced, smiled softly, and put his hands on his crutches.
"'Surgeon of Death' Trafalgar Law, is he a person with the power of surgical fruit... Okay, let's go together then."
After seeing the person coming, Tiga held Brook's crutches and did not let him take action, but agreed.
"Haha, it's quite interesting that you each have a skeleton... No, 'Sword Soul', can you still be called a human being?"
"...Maybe not."
A strange group of four people was born here, and that night the four of them set off towards their destination.
...
Except for Kazan, other members of the monster family have not stayed in Dressrosa.
Instead, after discussing with Kazan and his team a few days ago, we continued to move towards the new world.
Their original goal was Wano Country, but they encountered an unexpected place halfway.
