Infiltrating Onigashima, a Giant Ball of Flesh

After the chilling screams, the forest returned to silence once more...

"Phew! That feels so much better after letting off some steam!" Teach stretched his limbs and said with a refreshed expression. "Are we going to Onigashima next?"

Ace nodded. After all, the person they were looking for was Kaido's daughter, and Onigashima was a must-go destination!

"Ace, are you really going to Onigashima? Isn't it very dangerous there?" Tama asked with a worried expression. As natives of Wano, in their eyes, the Beast Pirates were all wicked! And Onigashima, where they lived, was naturally a dangerous place! Just mentioning it made the old people turn pale and the children cry loudly!

"Don't worry, Tama! With our strength, we can protect ourselves!" Ace smiled confidently, and then, under Tama's reluctant gaze, he left with Titchach and the other two. Of course, before leaving, he left Tama with a lot of food.

"Ace!" Just as the three figures were about to disappear, Tama suddenly put her hands to her mouth, forming a megaphone shape, and shouted, "Don't forget our promise! When I become a glamorous female ninja, you must come back for me!"

"Okay! I won't forget!" Ace stopped and turned to wave at her.

"Hahaha! What an adorable child! If she weren't so young and if we didn't have dangerous things to do, we could have taken her back to the Whitebeard Pirates and made her an apprentice crew member!" An innocent and adorable little girl can always touch the softest part of a person's heart. No normal person would feel any aversion to such an obedient child!

"Who can argue with that? It's just that living in this country oppressed by Kaido must be really tough on that little girl! Why don't we take her back with us when we leave?" As the cook, Thatch couldn't bear to see Tama suffer from hunger and cold again. After all, even if they took the child back, it wouldn't affect the Whitebeard Pirates much; it would just be another set of chopsticks and a bowl!

"Of course I want to take her back, but I can't break our promise! Besides, Tama wouldn't accept it because of her pride!" Ace said with a headache. He should have made a promise with Tama last time to take her away next time he came!

The waters surrounding Onigashima

"Hey! Teach! Is it really okay for us to just fly in like this? We'll probably get spotted by the patrolling soldiers, won't we?" Teach and Ace were sitting in the small boat. As for our Captain Thatch? Well, anyone who asks that question clearly didn't read the first two chapters carefully!

"Hehehehe! Don't worry, Ace! We're already flying above the clouds! Those ordinary little pirates of the Beast Pirates can't even spot us! It's all thanks to our Captain Thatch!" Teach and Ace exchanged a glance, then both grinned mischievously.

"You two utterly despicable bastards! How could you do this to me! Don't you have any conscience?!" The small boat was still connected to Thatch, Thatch used the power of Inazuma to frantically weave through the clouds, not daring to rest for a moment!

"Hahaha! Thatch, are you getting scared? Devil Fruit User Thunderclap- Rumble Fruit user, and you can't even lift the two of us plus a small boat? Tsk tsk tsk, this Thatch is such a loser!" Teach's taunts were incredibly sharp, making Thatch's forehead veins bulge!

"So, you're pretty brave, huh?" Thatch said quietly, his familiar tone reminding Teach of a kind older brother with glasses.

Suddenly, his chrysanthemum felt cool...

"No, I'm such a loser! I was wrong, Chi!" Teach was clearly cowed! No, it wasn't cowering, it was following his heart!

"Huh? Teach, you chickened out! You can't even do this! Unlike me, I'm super brave!" Ace said smugly from the side.

Teach:|ʘᗝʘ|

Thatch: (With an excited look)

Amidst this joyful and camaraderie-filled atmosphere, the three finally arrived at Onigashima, landing in a secluded spot and slowly infiltrating...

"Hahaha! These guys are really lax in their vigilance!" Teach shook his head as he looked at the pirates who were dozing off not far away.

"This kind of thing is only good for decoration! But it does make things easier for us!" Thatch kept glancing at the most laxly guarded areas, after all, they still had to be careful! If they attracted Kaido, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Let's go! Be careful!" Ace gave them a few instructions, and the three of them carefully infiltrated Onigashima. Although they encountered a few small-time pirates guarding the island, they were quickly killed before they could even make a sound under the three's fierce attacks!

"Ace, where is this?" Thatch asked, puzzled, looking at the tall bamboo house in front of him.

"I don't know either! How about we go inside and look for it?" Ace said, and was about to go inside when Teach hurriedly pulled Ace back!

"Wait! Thatch! Don't lead Ace astray!" Teach looked at the large characters for "brothel" above his head and fell into deep thought.

"Hehe, I just wanted to give Ace some experience, right? After all, it would be terrible if the two of them knew nothing on their wedding night!" Thatch chuckled slyly.

Suddenly, a heavy footstep reached the ears of the three! Teach and his two companions exchanged a glance and instantly disappeared into the bushes nearby.

Under the tense gaze of the three, a spherical object slowly walked over. Its tall body was covered in fat, and each heavy step it took was like a small Earthquake!

"Is this Zoan Devil Fruit User? This weight is probably more than ten Teach's!" Thatch exclaimed, looking at the giant ball not far away.

"Damn it! Those damned cooks are all having a good time here! It's already my ninth mealtime, and there's not a single piece of meat! I'm going to beat them to a pulp today!" Piqiu roared. His voice sounded very familiar to Teach. Finally, after Piqiu entered the brothel, he heard pleas for mercy coming from inside, Teach finally understood!

Damn, isn't that Drought Jack? He's gotten so fat in just a few days!

Jack: Heh, ghost!

After saying goodbye to the fat Jack, Teach and his two companions captured a high-ranking Gifters. After a friendly (brutal) exchange (and a beating), they finally learned Teach 'Yamato location...
