An Unprecedented Choice for Wano Country's New Shogun!

Yamato.

The Road Poneglyph.

[Mythical Zoan - Yamata no Orochi Fruit].

There's also the "loyalty" of the entire Beasts Pirates and Wano Country.

Storm's trip to Wano Country was incredibly rewarding.

After giving instructions to Beasts the Second, he continued to mine the Seastone deposits in Wano Country, increased Seastone trade with Totto Land and the New Marines, and protected the Ancient Weapon Pluton Pluton.

Then, Storm, along with Yamato and the main force of the Dawn Pirates, boarded the nameless island and slowly flew out of the inland sea of Wano Country.

Beasts Castle.

As the Beasts the Second gazed at the nameless island gradually disappearing into the horizon, a deep sense of reluctance flickered across his rugged and unrestrained face.

Father, you've left us just like that...

King the Conflagration, standing to the side, noticed the change in Beasts Kaido's expression and felt inexplicably at ease.

'Although Kaido seems a bit strange today, he's still the same caring older brother who looks after his family...'

After a moment's hesitation, King the Conflagration spoke softly.

"Brother Kaido, it's actually a good thing that Yamato has left..."

The Dawn Pirates are powerful.

King the Conflagration, had firsthand experience with this.

To put it bluntly...

The Beasts Pirates... might really be no match for the Dawn Pirates.

Let's make a rough comparison.

Let's not even discuss whether Kaido can defeat the Red Dragon Emperor.

At least King the Conflagration wasn't confident enough to defeat Whitebeard the Second.

If it were within the Dawn Pirates...

Yamato will definitely continue to improve.

King the Conflagration could see Yamato's immense potential.

Aside from some mental issues, such as his inexplicable and fanatical worship of Kozuki Oden.

Yamato is an excellent successor.

Now that Kaido is no longer "imprisoned" Yamato Kaido, the relationship between them will likely improve.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the future development of the Beasts Pirates.

At least that's what King the Conflagration, thinks.

"Good news?"

Beasts the Second withdrew his gaze and glanced indifferently at King the Conflagration.

"Of course it's a good thing, that's... the Red Dragon Emperor!"

"Uh-huh..."

Although King the Conflagration felt that Kaido's focus seemed a bit strange.

However, he still obediently agreed and then got to the point.

"Brother Kaido, Jack the Drought is dead, and we've lost another one of our Lead Performer. Shouldn't we hold a new selection event for Lead Performer within the crew?"

This is a major event that King the Conflagration, believes requires urgent attention.

The position of the Beasts Pirates' Lead Performer —actually the third Lead Performer —is still quite risky.

King of Lizards Hanafuda is dead, and Jack the Drought is dead too.

In just two years, the Lead Performer has been changed by two different people.

Even King the Conflagration, was having a bit of a headache.

"Yes, that's fine."

Beasts the Second nodded.

"Let the Flying Six elect the strongest one and make him the new Lead Performer."

"Yes, Brother Kaido."

Jin the King the Conflagration answered seriously.

Actually, he still felt a slight sense of regret.

It's not that I feel sorry for Jack the Drought.

It's a pity that Yamato the King the Conflagration didn't leave Wano Country with the Red Dragon Emperor.

Actually, Yamato- sama is the most suitable person to take on the role of the new Lead Performer!

Yamato's strength is actually no less than that of Jack the Drought.

What a pity...

Our own young master ran off with another pirate crew...

King the Conflagration suddenly understood Kozuki Sukiyaki then.

However, the new Lead Performer...

The images of the current members of the Flying Six flashed through King the Conflagration's mind.

The final image was of a "big cat".

If we're talking about raw talent, perhaps Foz-Foe has the best chance of becoming the new Lead Performer?

[Ancient Zoan Saber- Saber-toothed Tiger Fruit] isn't too weak...

King the Conflagration temporarily set aside his thoughts on the Lead Performer and casually brought up another matter.

"Brother Kaido, now that Kurozumi Orochi is really dead, who will become the Shogun of Wano Country?"

Compared to the serious attitude when we were just talking about the Lead Performer.

When discussing the Shogun of Wano Country, King the Conflagration appeared nonchalant and casual, completely unconcerned about the matter.

However, this is understandable.

From the moment the Beasts Pirates moved into Wano Country.

The true power holder in this country is no longer some "general," but Beasts Kaido!

The Beasts the Second King also remained calm.

"Hey you, Kurozumi, do you have a son?"

After thinking for a moment, King the Conflagration shook his head and said...

"To the best of my knowledge, no."

"Hmm, are there any other living members in the Kurozumi Family?"

"Almost the entire clan is dead... not just the Kurozumi Family, but also the Kozuki Family, and several other daimyo clans."

Upon hearing this, the Beasts the Second frowned.

He himself didn't want to be the shogun of Wano Country.

The main reason is that my father despises the so-called shogun of Wano Country.

Therefore, the Beasts the Second also loathed this position.

He recalled his father's instructions before his departure, regarding several "key targets" within Wano Country.

Some people need to wait for Fujitora Issho to come and win them over.

But there are others whom even the Beasts the Second can approach...

"Jin, go to Kuri, to a place called 'Amigasa Village'. There are some members of the Kurozumi Family there. Bring them here."

Kuri?

Amigasa Village?

King the Conflagration glanced at Beasts the Second with considerable surprise.

When has Kaido ever paid attention to such trivial details?

Even he didn't know...

But King the Conflagration, quickly responded.

"Yes, Brother Kaido."

Under the will of Beasts the Second., the Beasts Pirates began to operate rapidly like a massive machine.

Soon, the branch members of the Kurozumi Family, who had been living in seclusion in Amigasa Village, were brought before Beasts the Second.

Although it's called a branch of the family, it actually only has three people.

A middle-aged couple who looked extremely thin and frail.

There was also a two-year-old girl—the couple's daughter.

The Beasts the Second looked at the three ordinary people in front of him.

Although he didn't activate [Observation Haki], he had been left with quite a few [Haki Knots] by Storm.

Even with the naked eye, he could tell that the middle-aged couple did not have long to live.

"Kai--Ming, Your Majesty Ming!"

The middle-aged couple from the Kurozumi Clan looked terrified of Beasts Kaido, and knelt trembling on the floor of the Beasts Castle.

The young girl stared at the Beasts the Second with her big, dark eyes, half curious and half afraid.

In terms of appearance, Beasts the Second was the tallest and most terrifying person the little girl had ever encountered in her short life.

But her parents thought the little girl was very impolite.

"Xiaoyu! Kneel down! Kneel before Lord Ming and apologize!"

The middle-aged woman tried to grab her daughter's arm and press her head down, forcing her to kowtow to the "Guardian King".

"Quiet."

The Beasts the Second calmly looked at the little girl in front of him.

"Your name?"

"Jade."

Because of her mother's attitude, Xiaoyu's eyes welled up with tears, but she still answered haltingly.

"Kurozumi, jade."

"Um."

The Beasts the Second nodded slowly; his age, name, and background all matched.

"Very good, from this day forward, you are the Shogun of Wano Country!"

In Wano Country.

Beasts Kaido has the most influence.

Even if a two-year-old girl were appointed as the new shogun of Wano Country, no one would dare to object.

Kurozumi Tama thus became the new Shogun of Wano Country!

On the other side.

Storm was unaware of the many operations that Beasts the Second was undertaking within Wano Country.

He was completely unaware that Beasts the Second had appointed a two-year-old girl as the new shogun of Wano Country.

But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Anyway, it's Wano Country.

Storm, along with Yamato, returned to Whole Cake Island from Wano Country.

Upon his return, Storm immediately sought out Nami.

Sky Garden.

Storm acted as a middleman, introducing Nami and Yamato to each other.

"Captain."

Yamato glanced at Nami with a strange sense of awe.

"Is this the son of Pirate King Roger, that you mentioned before?"

"What?"

Nami couldn't help but tilt her head, looking at the white-haired woman in front of her with a strange expression.

She had a feeling that there was something wrong with this girl's head.

There's a subtle beauty of wisdom about him that rivals that of Edward Weevil Whitebeard the Third.

Where would you find someone who treats a girl like a "son"?

You've misunderstood.

Storm's lips twitched twice, and his expression was also subtle.

"This is Nami, the idiot you mentioned... He's currently in the first half of Paradise and isn't in Totto Land for the time being."

"Besides your father, no one else would intentionally raise their daughter as a son."

Yamato said "Oh," and then greeted Nami cheerfully.

"Hello, I am Yamato, and I want to become—yes, I am Yamato."

Yamato instinctively wanted to read out her life's dream.

But in Storm's calm gaze...

Yamato quickly changed his tune.

Nami feels this girl is becoming more and more like an idiot...

"Nami."

Storm's words promptly diverted Nami's attention.

"Yamato was kept as a slave by her father for a long time, and due to other reasons, she is a little mentally unstable. Please understand."

"In addition, Yamato has now joined the New Marines, and she is also a member of the 'Watch Unit.' During this time, you can help her get familiar with the outside ocean environment and integrate her into the Totto Land family."

So that's how it is...

Nami's previously strange expression instantly turned to pity.

He was kept as a slave by his father...

It doesn't sound much "luckier" than Reiju...

"But Captain, what is the 'Watch Unit'? Aren't we members of the Sword Unit?"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you before? The New Marines's undercover unit has been renamed the 'Watch Unit'!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Really? Haha..."

Storm chuckled twice and waved his hand.

"I have other things to take care of."

"Anyway, Yamato is in your hands now! Take care of her!"

First update.

There will be a second update, but it will be later.
