The Beasts Zoo Where Fathers Die and Sons Rejoice!
Outside the Beasts Castle.
Who's-Who, who had only joined the Beasts Pirates a few years ago, threw Jack the Drought's corpse into the distance with a look of disgust, as if he were throwing away a huge pile of garbage.
Back when Jack the Drought was still the Lead Performer Beasts Pirates.
Foz-Foe still needs to be treated with at least basic respect.
But what about a Fish-Man is already dead?
The fact that Foz-Foe did not further dismember Jack the Drought's headless corpse was already a result of his extreme restraint.
Fun fact.
Foz Floyd was a racist.
Yes, he discriminates against Fish-Man, he really discriminates against Fish-Man.
This is not because Devil Fruit User of the [Zoan, Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Saber-toothed Tiger form].
--Perhaps this is partly the reason, after all, it's only natural for cats to eat fish.
Foz-Foe's extreme prejudice against Fish-Man stems from his past experiences.
Formerly, Foz-Foe was also a brilliant agent of the World Government's CP9 department.
Many people even believe that Foz-Foe's talent and potential are no less than those of Rob Lucci, the so-called once-in-eight-hundred-years dark genius.
For this reason, the top brass of the World Government also placed high hopes on Foz-Foe.
Until that day, the World Government's higher-ups gave Who's-Who a simple mission to escort Devil Fruit, which he completely botched.
The Red-Haired Pirates, having somehow obtained intelligence, suddenly appeared on the World Government's treasure ship's route and forcibly seized the Devil Fruit.
[Rubber Fruit].
Who's Foz will never forget the name of that Devil Fruit.
That's right.
Seven years ago, the [Zoan -type Human- Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika Model] that the Red-Haired Pirates stole was taken directly from Who's-Who himself.
For some reason, Who's-Who managed to escape from the Red-Haired Pirates...
After losing the [Mythical Zoan: Nika Fruit].
Foz-Foe's status within the World Government plummeted instantly.
He was considered the culprit for the mission's failure and was promptly imprisoned by the World Government's top brass.
A young genius, fails his mission, is thrown into prison, escapes, leaves CP9, becomes a pirate, forms a pirate crew... and is then recruited into the Beasts Pirates.
This is the life story of Foz-Foe.
And the reason he discriminated against Fish-Man...
It was because he once believed in Nika.
That's right.
Foz-Fur believed Nika.
In this world where the ocean is full of Nika's brainless fans.
Foz-Foe was once a follower of Nika, until he was brutally beaten down by reality...
Because of his failed faith, Foz-Foe began to hate Nika.
Because of hatred extending to the house and its crows.
The Sun Pirates, who call themselves "the Sun," also became the targets of Who's-Who's dislike.
Therefore, Foz Fur hated Fish-Man.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Foz clapped his hands, as if trying to brush away the bad luck that had settled on them.
In the Beasts Pirates, those who die are of no value whatsoever.
Dead Fish-Man are even less valuable.
Will Jack the Drought's headless corpse become fertilizer for the plants on Onigashima, food for the fish in the Inland Sea, or something else entirely...?
Foz-Fur didn't care at all.
"Boss Kaido... something's very wrong."
Foz-Foe put the matter of Jack the Drought out of his mind and recalled what he had just seen in the banquet hall.
"He doesn't have any of his usual Haki."
It must be acknowledged that...
Inside the Beasts Pirates.
Aside from the rare instances when he gets drunk and acts out.
Beasts Kaido is quite mild-mannered and tolerant in his treatment of his subordinates.
Especially towards his subordinates who truly possess strength and ability, Beasts Kaido's attitude can even be described as "indulgent".
Who's Who, a former genius agent of CP9, Devil Fruit User of the Ancient Zoan Saber-toothed Tiger Fruit.
Among the Flying Six, Who's Foz is definitely one of the top contenders.
Even against a powerhouse of the caliber of a Lead Performer.
Foz-Foe could at least last a few rounds.
Therefore, Beasts Kaido's attitude towards Who's Who is... is quite predictable.
Just now, in front of the Red Dragon Emperor.
Foz-Fur didn't want to complain about his boss.
However, they left the banquet hall.
Foz-Foe still had the audacity to speak ill of others.
While listening to Foz-Fur's "bad talk," the Flying Six hurried toward the Heavenly Cave on Onigashima.
Onigashima, the stronghold of the Beasts Pirates, even has houses for the henchmen to live in.
But the "young master" of the Beasts Pirates didn't.
It's funny.
Because of the sharp conflict between Beasts Kaido and Yamato.
Despite being biological father and daughter, Yamato father and son, Yamato was forcibly shackled by Beasts Kaido.
Similar to the "explosive shackles" worn by Celestial Dragons slaves.
The shackles will immediately explode with tremendous power once they are removed or the person leaves Onigashima.
Yamato has worn these "explosive shackles" since he was eight years old.
I've worn it since I was a child.
Do not doubt the quality of the "bombs" from Wano Country.
The bombs of Wano Country.
It's not like the Alabasta, a "fake" weapon capable of destroying everything within a five-kilometer radius in one strike.
It's not the "Tamatebako" that Fish-Man Island has stored for hundreds of years, capable of collapsing Big Mom's Cake Castle in one go.
Even if the bombs in Wano Country exploded in a room, the blast wouldn't reach the ceiling...
But whether it's Ashura Doji or Charlotte Linlin, they will both be "dealt with" by the bombs from Wano Country.
Therefore, Yamato's "explosive shackles" could completely kill her in one blow. (That's roughly it.)
And it's not hard to see this from these slave-like, explosive shackles.
Yamato's identity on Onigashima is essentially that of a "prisoner".
Certainly.
Aside from Beasts Kaido, probably no one else would dare to treat Yamato as a prisoner...
Foz Florey rambled on the whole way—and he was quite the chatterbox.
Just as the group was about to reach the Heavenly Cave where Yamato was located, he reluctantly uttered his "closing remarks."
"So... I think there's something wrong with Boss Kaido."
The other Flying Six showed no interest in responding to Foz-Follow's words.
Only Ulti gave a perfunctory reply.
"Hasn't Kaido always been an idiot?"
Page One, who had just been looking cold and aloof, broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing these words.
"Shut up, sis!"
"Little Peipei, you're such a coward."
Ulti is cold and aloof to others, but she is very close to her younger brother.
"However, I also really like Xiao Pei like this."
Page One felt like he was about to dig a castle out of the ground on Onigashima with his toes.
My older sister is always like this!
This scene of "loving siblings" made the other members of the Flying Six instinctively feel uncomfortable.
"You two are absolutely disgusting!"
Foz-Foe snorted loudly, like a tiger.
Do you think our Beasts Pirates are some kind of 'child's play pirate crew'?
"Don't waste any more time, let's go Yamato 'invite' Young Master Yamato out first!"
"If I can successfully complete this mission, maybe... I can become the Lead Performer too?"
The internal competition within the Beasts Pirates is fierce.
However, at the level of Lead Performer, position changes are extremely rare.
Last year.
If it weren't for the death of the King of Lizards Hanafuda.
Jack the Drought also didn't have the chance to rise to become the Lead Performer.
But this year, Jack the Drought also died.
Another vacancy has appeared in the Beasts Pirates' Lead Performer.
All of the Flying Six present have the potential to become the new Lead Performer!
Foz-Foe believes he has the highest probability of becoming the Lead Performer.
Although he wasn't a "native of Wano Country" like Black Maria, nor did his father have any connection to Kaido like Ulti or Page One...
But Who's Foz is strong enough!
The other Flying Six all had a fluctuating expression after hearing Foz-Follow's words.
In the Beasts Pirates' dog-eat-dog world.
Without fighting, there is only death.
A pirate who doesn't aspire to be Lead Performer Flying Six isn't a good pirate.
But everyone's abilities are what they are.
The other Flying Six are doing well.
Ulti and Page One, these two young people, only rose to become Flying Six last year.
The siblings were trying to get their hands on the Lead Performer spot...
That's far too difficult.
Ulti pouted. She thought Foz-Foe's words made a lot of sense, but she didn't want the "big cat" to get his way.
Miss Pachycephalosaurus slapped her forehead, a sudden inspiration flashing in her mind.
"Perhaps, Yamato master Yamato is the man who will become the new Lead Performer?"
These words were spoken.
Just moments ago, Foz-Foe was very excited, but now it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.
Yamato- sama becomes the Lead Performer?
At first glance, the Flying Six seemed to think it wasn't entirely impossible.
On lineage.
Yamato is Kaido's "favorite son".
On status.
Yamato is also the "eldest son" of the Beasts Pirates.
In terms of strength.
Kaido has been abusing Yamato since he was eight years old, Yamato is still alive and well...
Doesn't that prove something?
Even Foz-Foe wouldn't dare claim he could handle Yamato.
"You brat!"
Foz-Fur glared at Ulti, grinding his teeth involuntarily.
But it's unclear whether he was referring to Ulti or Yamato when he said "brat."
The presence of the Flying Six had long been sensed by those inside the Heavenly Cave.
The conversation between Ulti and Foz-Foe was also clearly heard by the people inside the cave.
Accompanied by the clanking sound of shackles.
A lithe and heroic figure emerged from the Heavenly Cave.
"I will never submit to my father! And I will never join the Beasts Pirates!"
Yamato Hannya Mask and wielding a black spiked club, Yamato walked slowly to the Flying Six and delivered her dream declaration to these senior executives.
"I will become the man of Kozuki Oden!"
Second update.
Goodnight everyone.
