It Begins

The Beasts Pirates are holding another banquet.

This time, to celebrate Captain Beasts Kaido's successful escape, Onigashima was once again transformed into a sea of joy, with everyone singing and dancing.

"So, Sirius, how exactly did you do that?"

Sirius and the others naturally gathered together as well. Jack, watching Sirius devour his food, asked curiously, "How did you manage to hold your own against that Kizaru for so long?"

"It's because of Enma!"

Yamato picked up Enma, one of the two swords that Sirius had placed to the side, and said with a grin, "It was given to Sirius by Oden! I have one too."

She pointed to another sword placed next to her cushion; it was the Ame no Habakiri, and its special abilities were currently unknown.

"A single knife can achieve this level of skill?"

Jack was somewhat incredulous.

"Because Sirius is incredibly strong!" Yamato said matter-of-factly.

Sirius swallowed the food in his mouth and casually said, "The purpose of Enma is to consume a large amount of Haki to unleash an extremely powerful slash. Even I can't last more than a few minutes if I fully unleash Enma's power."

"But you're already very strong, bro!"

Page One was incredibly excited. "That's Marine Admiral! A monster who can rival Boss Kaido!"

"Unbeknownst to many, Sirius has become so powerful."

Black Maria sighed as well.

She still remembers it clearly: ten years ago, on that night, she and Yamato were watching a movie when Jack knocked on the door, and then a tiny child jumped off his shoulders.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"In that case, no wonder you said we can start the bet with Boss Kaido." Jack nodded in deep agreement. "We certainly have the qualifications now."

Sirius's lips twitched slightly. "The reason we're only starting now is because the debt of gratitude has already been fully repaid; it has nothing to do with strength."

Jack gave a soft hum and didn't say anything, but his meaning was very clear.

"I want to go with my older brother too!"

Page One slammed his hand on the table and shouted, shaking the food on it, "Big brother, take me out to sea too!"

"Pay-tan!"

Before Sirius could say anything, Ulti had already wrapped her arms around Page One's neck. "You're going to go to sea with this guy? Do you want to leave your sister?"

Pay-tan's face flushed red, but he said with difficulty, "Of course, sister should come too! Does sister want to stay? After big brother and the others leave, will it just be the two of us left on Onigashima?"

Little Ulti's arms loosened instinctively, and her two round eyes trembled.

"Big brother, sister agreed!"

Page One knew his sister very well and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to be with Pay-tan!" Ulti's attitude was fierce.

But the next instant, she was pounced on by Yamato, who rubbed Yamato face against hers. "Great, Little Ulti! Now we can go on adventures together!"

"Ouch! You idiot! You pricked me with your horn!"

Black Maria watched the two playfully bickering and said with a smile, "In that case, there will be six companions traveling together."

"Isn't it too early to talk about that now? Let's focus on getting the ship out smoothly first, then we can discuss other things."

Jack scoffed and looked at Sirius. "Sirius, what's the plan? When do we start?"

Sirius stretched, "Although I'd like to say we should wait until Yamato is fully recovered, but—"

He turned his head to look to the side, where several teachers were enjoying their drinks.

"Mwahahaha, Boss Kaido, did you hear that?"

Queen laughed loudly, "These kids are too arrogant, openly discussing this as if we don't exist."

"We absolutely cannot let them go to sea."

Jhin's voice was calm, but he suddenly crushed the wine glass in his hand, turning it into powder that mixed with the wine and stuck to his palm.

"Sirius and Yamato, even Jack, Black Maria, Ulti, and Page One will undoubtedly be the backbone of our future. Without them, we will be back to where we were ten years ago overnight."

Over the past decade, the Beasts Pirates' greatest achievement has not been expanding their military strength or occupying more territories, but rather cultivating these brats.

Especially Sirius and Yamato. Sirius is already a scourge to the Beasts Pirates, Yamato is almost worthy of that title as well.

"Hmm, giggle, giggle,"

Kaido simply laughed at his right-hand men's comments, saying, "The bet has already begun. Do whatever you want."

"Then put Seastone handcuffs on them! That way even that kid Sirius will behave."

Queen chuckled and said, "Two years will pass quickly; let them have some peace and quiet during this time."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Kaido glared at him. "The bet with Sirius was that we couldn't put them in shackles."

"I see."

Queen nodded knowingly, then grinned, "Then let's use poison!"

Kaido drank his wine without saying a word.

Queen immediately stood up excitedly, walked over to Sirius and the others with a grin, and looked down at everyone except for Jack Maria.

"Kids, did you hear our conversation? You must be ready by now, right?"

Yamato stopped arguing with Ulti and gripped the Spiked Club that was lying to the side.

Jack and Maria's expressions also turned serious.

They used to be the most reliable partners, but now, the relationship has completely reversed.

Sirius, however, continued eating without looking up. "Could you wait a moment, Teacher Queen? A pleasant banquet shouldn't be disturbed."

"Huh? What are you talking about, brat?" Queen sneered.

"Hehehe! Waiting a little longer won't hurt,"

Kaido laughed loudly, "Queen, you bastard, are you trying to disrupt the banquet held for me?"

Queen then pursed his lips and remained silent.

However, instead of returning to Kaido's group, he simply sat cross-legged next to Sirius and the others, quietly watching them.

Jack and Black Maria frowned as he stared at them.

Ulti and her brother were also tense, their muscles taut.

"Let's fill our stomachs first, friends."

Sirius laughed and said, "Otherwise, you won't have the energy to play games."

"That's right!"

Yamato, and began to eat with great resentment.

Jack and the others immediately buried themselves in their food.

It will probably be difficult to enjoy a meal in peace again.

The area suddenly fell silent. Sirius and the others ate in silence, Queen watched them quietly, King crossed his arms and remained silent, Kaido drank his wine by himself.

The pirates outside were completely oblivious to the eerie atmosphere and continued their revelry, drinking and celebrating.

The banquet lasted until midnight.

The food reserves were completely exhausted.

Then--

"Hahaha! It's finally over!"

Queen laughed heartily as he stood up. With this movement, his body began to grow taller, instantly entering Human-Beast Form.

"Kid, are you ready?"

Sirius casually wiped his mouth. "Alright, let's begin!"

I almost had a heart attack from excitement Awakening. Thank you so much for the generosity of these two big shots!

I owe you ten chapters. My terrible typing speed definitely can't finish them in one day. Starting tomorrow, I'll update four or five chapters a day until I pay off my debt!
