If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 17 The Beast Pirates: Cleaner Than a Face

Barzel waved goodbye to his three close friends who had just started dating.

"I'll be here waiting for your good news. Please come back safely, my dearest friends!!"

The presence of Rambo, Bamba, and the other two quickly receded.

Noticing the silence around him, Bazel turned his head and looked quickly from Jin's face to Tianyue Shi's face.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hanafza's lips twitched: "When did the Beasts Pirates ever become good pirates who put people first?"

Jin: "None of us own a boat. What era is this 'living on a boat' thing from?"

Kaido remained silent for half a minute, then slowly raised his hand and gave Bazel a thumbs-up:

"Bazaar, inviting you to join the Beasts Pirates was the best decision I've ever made in my life."

"It's a real shame that someone with your brain isn't working for the World Government. I'll entrust you with full responsibility for the Wano Country renovation project."

"Although I'm not picky about living conditions, if I had a choice, I'd like to live in a better environment."

Olga patted Bazel's thigh and exclaimed, "You're absolutely a genius."

"Bazaar-kun~"

When Tianyue stepped forward, she gently hugged Bazel, her eyes filled with emotion.

"Thank you."

Thank me?

Why?

Countless questions raced through Bazell's mind.

Wait a minute.

Did he do anything?

He just didn't want to live on that barren, gloomy ghost island.

Having become the ruler, why would he choose to live on a desolate, ghostly island instead of the beautiful Cherry Blossom Mountain in the Flower Capital?

Shouldn't the strongest people live in the best environment, consolidate their power, and then send those who disagree to remote places?

Anyway, Bazel couldn't understand why Kaido lived on Onigashima in the original work and gave the most beautiful place to Kurozumi Orochi.

But now that he's here in this life, he naturally has to make changes.

Brutal subjugation is not his style; Bazel would rather not resort to violence than use his brain to solve problems.

Otherwise, wouldn't eight heads be a waste?

Anyway, someone has already been chosen to take the blame.

Once the time is right, we can rightfully take over Wano Country.

As for Kozuki Oden...

It is still 1492 now, and the other party will not return for another five years.

Five years is more than enough time for him to completely turn that place into his own territory.

At that time, Kozuki Oden might even have to apply for a job with the Beasts Pirates.

"Bazel, I've made up my mind!"

"Huh? What?"

With her hands braced against the man's chest, Tian Yueshi took a half-step back, her expression resolute.

"I will do everything I can to help you!!"

"That place is not only my home, but it will also be your home from now on!"

Before Bazel could respond, Kaido suddenly coughed several times.

"If you want to be affectionate, go find a bush tonight; there are still people here."

Only then did Tianyue realize the other meaning behind those words. Her face flushed red as she retreated and hid behind Bazel.

"Hey, Kaido, that's going too far."

Before Bazel could even go to Kaido for some lessons, he was stopped by King.

"Now that we've decided to go to that Wano Country, Mr. Kaido, Bazel, Hanafzai, we'd better make some plans for the future."

Hanafza waved his hand:

"Boss Kaido, although I have decided to join the Beasts Pirates, I hope to have a certain degree of freedom."

"My hobby is collecting Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits. Rather than following you to guard that Wano Country, I'd rather go to the sea and collect more Devil Fruits."

"If we're lucky enough to get a few more Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits, it would be a huge boost for the Beasts Pirates in the future."

King didn't speak, but just looked at Kaido, waiting for the captain's command.

"Bazaar, you're the smartest one, what do you think about this?"

As Kaido tossed the ball to him, Bazel scratched his head:

"Based on the current development trend, the Hanafza Freedom Operation is the best option."

"The three of us are strong enough to occupy Wano Country, but the issue of troop strength is indeed of paramount importance. How about this?"

"Hanafza, while you're collecting Devil Fruits, please also spread the fame of the Beasts."

"As long as you have enough fame, powerful pirates will naturally come to you to pledge their allegiance."

"As for us..."

Instead of continuing to speak, Bazel stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

There are three goals at the moment.

"The first is to go to Wano Country, that goes without saying."

"The second one is pure gold. We need to find the lanternfish that swallowed most of the pure gold as soon as possible."

"The creation of the desire-capturing machine is urgent. Regardless of its success or failure, it is a shortcut to the top."

Kaido and King both nodded in understanding.

"As for the third one..."

"Brother Kaido, the Beasts Pirates can live without a pirate ship, but they can't live without one. It's a matter of face."

Bazel stared at Kaido.

"The third target is the Beasts Pirates' flagship. You've traveled to many places with Rocks before; do you have any connections in that area?"

"Let me think about it." Kaido fell into thought.

A moment later, Kaido licked his dry lips, his eyes gradually revealing a madness.

"I don't have any connections, but I know a good place where I can get a branch of the precious tree Adam."

Treasure Tree...Adam?

As if remembering something, Jin's expression changed slightly:

"Mr. Kaido, you're not planning to go to Elbaf and steal things from those giants, are you!?"

"Ooh-hoo-hoo..."

Kaido's smile grew increasingly maniacal as he stared at King:

"Why not? We're pirates. When have you ever seen a pirate spend money to buy something?"

"Besides, Abel, do you even have Pele?"

Jin's lips twitched: "Mr. Kaido, don't even mention me, you don't even have any Berries in your pocket, do you?"

"That's it!"

Kaido picked up his spiked club and slung it over his shoulder, concealing his Conqueror's Haki.

"Just steal what the pirates want!"

"As for the shipbuilders, all we need to do is put a knife to their necks, and they will naturally help us build the ship."

"Wait for Kaido."

Bazel stopped the excited Kaido and said with a headache:

"I understand. I'll figure something out. Instead of going to Elbaf, we might as well go straight to Wano Country."

Kaido and King exchanged glances, a triumphant smile spreading across their faces.

This kind of mentally taxing task isn't suitable for them; let Bazel worry about it.

Anyway, his mind is fresh and useful.

"Then let's split up," Hanafza said. "I'll continue collecting Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits and spread the name of the Beasts while I'm at it."

"You, on the other hand, are to search for pure gold and the materials needed to build the Beast."

"Boss Kaido, Bazel, King, I'll find a way to go to Wano Country in a year. See you there."

Hanafza was a straightforward person, and he left directly after saying goodbye.

Olga waved to the man's departing figure: "Have a safe trip!"

Kaido did not doubt the other party's intentions.

In his view, Hanafza was a man he respected, and he would never lie and run away.

"Bazel, Jhin, we'll stay here for a maximum of three days. If those little people don't want to join us after three days, we'll leave."

"No problem," Bazel replied.

……

Meanwhile, beneath Greenbit Island, lies the habitat of the Tontatta tribe—

"Rambo, you mean those pirates are willing to let our Tontatta clan live as equals with humans?"

Gan Qiao's aged face was filled with disbelief.

The origins of the Dontata tribe can be traced back nine hundred years; their ancestors were once comrades of the liberation fighters.

He participated in the great war against the rebel army.

But around the time of that great war, their ancestors fell into the trap set by the Don Quixote family.

To become a slave.

It wasn't until more than a hundred years later, when the Don Quixote family, who had enslaved the Tontatta tribe, moved to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, that the little people were finally freed.

"But don't you think this is absurd? Why would humans want to live peacefully with us?"

"What if, like the Don Quixote family nine hundred years ago, they trick us into becoming slaves?"

"That's what I thought at first too."

Rambo recalled the black wings and flames behind Jhin, feeling as if he had heard of these features somewhere before.

"But that big human didn't seem to be lying, and there's one of them who feels very familiar to me..."

"I heard them call him Abel, a handsome human with black wings, bronze skin, and snow-white hair."
