Daily Life

Yamato sat on the deck, hugging her knees, her beautiful yellow eyes filled with anticipation.

Behind her, Ulti and her brother, along with Maria Hiyori, were also looking forward to it.

Sirius with his back to them, his hands behind his back, exuding an air of profound composure and the presence of a grandmaster.

"So, Sirius,"

Jack sat cross-legged to one side, still covered in sweat from training. He picked up a bottle of water and asked listlessly, "What exactly do you want to show us?"

"Hmph,"

Sirius hummed with a hint of smugness, "Today I'll show you the results of my training these past few days."

"That's what you just said, that's why I asked you," Jack said speechlessly, "What are you doing? You've been standing there for two minutes, haven't you?"

"Haha, there's no other way,"

Sirius chuckled twice. "My proficiency is still a bit low, so the chanting took a little longer, but it's finished!"

He suddenly turned around, "A surprise is coming!"

"Puff!"

Jack spat out the water in his mouth and stood up in disbelief. "Sirius, what have you done?!"

"That's amazing!"

Black Maria exclaimed in disbelief, "Such a thing could actually happen in the world!"

"Indeed," Hiyori nodded in deep agreement, "It's hard to imagine such a thing happening."

"What exactly have you cultivated these past few days?!" Ulti was also utterly astonished.

Only Page One, with his fists clenched in front of his chest and eyes shining, exclaimed, "That's amazing!! Big Brother!"

"That's great, isn't it!"

Sirius grinned. "This is the technique called Seimei Kikan!"

"Seimei Kikan! That's incredible!"

Yamato leaped up and landed in front of Sirius, exclaiming in amazement as he reached out and touched Sirius's face. "This is... me!"

Sirius then changed his expression.

She is both spirited and charming.

It's Yamato's face.

"Sirius, how did you do that?"

Yamato searched Sirius's face, trying to find the edges of the mask, "Make it look like me!"

"What do you mean by 'seems like'!"

Sirius emphasized, "It's exactly the same! How could I not recognize your face?"

"But I always think Sirius looks better now." Yamato blinked.

They said exactly the same thing.

"So, this is the purpose of Seimei Kikan?" Jack asked in surprise. "That's not bad, at least it makes it easy to hide your whereabouts."

"The purpose of Seimei Kikan is to achieve ultimate control over the body."

With a casual snap of his fingers, Sirius's hair at the back of his head instantly gathered together and began to sway like octopus tentacles. Then, the skin and muscles on his face began to writhe, and even his bones changed. He transformed into Jack's appearance, even his body proportions became similar.

Of course, there's still a significant height difference.

"After infusing your will into the cells of your body, you can control any part of your body—hair, skin, muscles, bones—with complete freedom."

"..."

Jack paused, then asked in surprise, "Is it that amazing?"

Sirius rolled his eyes. "You ignorant fool," he said. "All you need to know is that this trick helped me a lot, allowing me to realize a very interesting idea."

"Imagine? Sirius,"

Yamato was very curious. "What's the idea?"

"Hey, keep it a secret for now,"

Sirius laughed heartily, "I'm not proficient enough yet. Let me practice for a few more days. I'll show you when I'm done; it'll definitely be very interesting."

"So mysterious,"

Ulti snorted, "I hope it's not some weird stuff again."

"There must be a reason why my brother said that!"

"That would certainly be a very interesting idea!" Page One exclaimed.

"You have a good eye, Pay-tan!" Sirius laughed heartily.

"Because I will always believe in my elder brother!"

"Sirius, I want to learn this move too!"

Yamato tugged at Sirius's sleeve, her eyes sparkling, "This looks so interesting!"

Hearing her say that, Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you hear those two CP0s say before? This move really tests your talent, you might not be able to learn it."

"No way!"

Yamato wrinkled her nose slightly, "Sirius can learn it, I can definitely learn it too!"

"There's really no other way, so let's just call him Professor Sirius for now," Sirius sighed.

"Alright, Sirius- sensei! Teach me quickly, Sirius- sensei!" Yamato didn't mind at all, shaking Sirius's arm with a grin.

Sirius had no doubt that Yamato could learn the Seimei Kikan technique.

Compared to himself, this girl truly possessed top-tier talent. If it weren't for the sheer power of his Devil Fruit, Sirius didn't believe he could defeat Yamato.

After sharing her insights into spiritual practice with Yamato, the white-haired girl went off to continue her practice on her own.

"Speaking of which, so many things have happened since we came to the North Sea, yet our bounty hasn't increased at all," Black Maria said with some surprise.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Sirius casually remarked, "How could the government possibly allow something like the theft of the Heavenly Gold to escalate like this?"

"That's true."

Black Maria nodded in deep agreement, "The Heavenly Gold was stolen, the Navy's expedition failed, and they were ultimately forced to trade with pirates. No matter how you look at it, this is just too shameful."

"But this isn't over yet, is it?" Hiyori interjected.

"Of course, Sirius rejected the government's proposal to become one of the Shichibukai, so the government certainly won't let it go," Jack said coldly. "The Navy is definitely still looking for us!"

He looked at Sirius, "Stay put for now! Don't even think about running off to those fancy islands again!"

The more prosperous an island is, the more powerful its surrounding Marine Base tends to be.

This is practically the rule across the world.

Sirius chuckled softly.

It's probably not the navy looking for us, but a very powerful navy.

Given Tsuru and Momousagi's defeat, the Navy might really have to send Admiral over.

That is indeed because we cannot frequently expose our whereabouts and allow the navy to figure out our routes.

Sirius's guess was correct. In the North Sea, at a Marine Base, a Marine warship entered the port.

Zephyr hurriedly disembarked from the warship and went straight to the base's ward.

When he pushed open the door and went in, Vice Admiral Tsuru, wearing a hospital gown, was reading a book. On the other bed next to him, Vice Admiral Momousagi, looking rather lazy, exclaimed in surprise.

"Teacher Zephyr, you've arrived!"

Nodding to his disciple, Zephyr asked, "Tsuru, Gion, are you alright?"

"Fine."

Vice Admiral Tsuru closed the book. "However, my recovery ability is not what it used to be; the wound is still throbbing."

"..."

Zephyr nodded slightly. "I understand."

"I came here specifically for that kid!"
