Ulti (13 years old), with her long pink and blue hair and wearing a mask, put her arm around her younger brother Page One's, shoulder.
He looked at Jack with a defiant expression.
"You brat... what did you say...?"
"Splash!"
Jack was about to say something when he was interrupted by the sound of the door being pushed open, and Jin, dressed in all black, walked in.
After glancing at Jack's injuries and seeing that he was alright, I felt relieved.
"Brother Jin!" x4
Why didn't you go to cultivate?
Jin surveyed the group of young men and women in the room. Although they were only in their early twenties, they exuded an air of authority.
This caused the men to lower their heads.
Jack was about to get up when Maria pressed him back down.
"Brother Jin, we were just about to go!"
"We heard Jack got hurt, so we came to check on him," Page One said quietly.
"Snort!"
Jin snorted coldly, "You'd be better off using that time to cultivate and think about how to increase your strength."
Jin's words made Jack and Page One lower their heads in shame. Meanwhile, Ulti, a complete brother-obsessed girl, saw her brother being scolded.
His mind was instantly consumed by rage, and he didn't care that the person in front of him was the second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates.
Instantly, it entered a human-beast transformation state, with several small horns appearing above its eyes and a thick layer of keratin appearing on its forehead.
With a powerful push of his legs, he soared into the air and delivered a vicious headbutt towards Jhin's head.
"Hey! Sis..."
Page One, looking anxious, stretched out his hand in mid-air, but only managed to grab a wisp of air.
Jin stood rooted to the spot, arms crossed, motionless, letting Ulti's headbutt fall.
"Clang--!"
A crisp clang of metal echoed through the room!
Ulti's headbutt, powerful enough to shatter rocks, landed squarely on Jin's head, yet it didn't even manage to shake him.
Instead, she herself was so dizzy from the recoil that she staggered back several steps.
Jin slowly lowered his arms, his eyes, visible outside the mask, remained expressionless as he calmly looked at Ulti had fallen to the ground.
"Commendable courage, but foolish."
Jin's voice was calm.
"Knowing full well the vast disparity in strength, to rashly attack one's superior due to emotional outbursts is the most foolish thing to do."
Ulti sat on the ground, holding her still-buzzing head in her hands, her face flushed red under her mask.
Half of it was pain, and the other half was shame and indignation.
Page One quickly ran over to help her sister up, whispering, "Sis, you were too impulsive..."
Seeing this, Jack wore a gloating expression—"Serves you right for mocking me!"
Jhin glanced at the gloating Jack.
"How long are you going to lie there? Hurry up and take them to cultivate."
"Starting today, your training volume will be doubled."
Jin turned and walked towards the door.
"Remember, the Beasts Pirates don't need weaklings. If you can't keep up, then get out."
"Yes!" they all replied in unison.
Jin walked to the door, then stopped, turned around and looked back.
"Also, don't provoke Roy's pirate crew these next few days. Governor Kaido is already on his way back; everything awaits his decision."
After saying that, Jin pushed open the door and left, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Sis..." Page One looked at Ulti with concern, "Are you alright?"
Ulti took off her mask, rubbed her still-aching forehead, and gritted her teeth, saying, "That bastard... is his head made of iron?!"
Maria covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Brother Jin is Lunarian Tribe, whose defenses are naturally very strong, plus his power... you're already very lucky to be safe and sound."
Jack nodded. "Yes, if it were Kaido, you might already be..."
Jack got up, gently touched the wound on his chest, and his eyes hardened with determination.
"Let's go, there's no point in saying all this, let's get to our workout first."
The group walked out of the room in a grand procession.
In the hallway, Page One broke free from Ulti's arm and nudged Jack.
" Jack, do you think the Roy Pirates are really that strong?"
This question made Jack's face darken.
"Although I hate to admit it, that big guy among them was really strong. I felt like he wasn't even using his full strength."
"Not to mention their captain hasn't even made a move yet. Anyone who can become that guy's captain must be even stronger."
"Then tell me, who's stronger, Brother Jin or them?" Ulti rubbed her forehead.
"I don't know, but Brother Jin's attitude towards them is very subtle; it doesn't seem like simple fear."
The tall Maria seemed thoughtful. "Will Jhin be wary of those people?"
"Who knows? Didn't Brother Jin say that we'll have to wait for Governor Kaido to return before we can discuss anything..."
As they continued their conversation, they walked further and further away, completely unaware that...
Behind them, a little girl with white hair and red horns on her head was eavesdropping on their conversation.
"A powerful pirate?" The little girl secretly covered her mouth, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
In the west wing, Roy and others were having breakfast.
"Knock knock knock!"
Hey! Are there any pirates here?!
A clear, childlike voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a knock.
Roy looked up and exchanged puzzled glances with his companions.
On Onigashima, someone actually dared to come looking for them—and it was just a child.
He gave Tesoro a wink, and Tesoro, who was eating, got up and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, there stood Yamato, with white hair and small red horns on his head, holding a spiked club almost as tall as himself.
At this moment Yamato was looking up with his little face, his eyes full of curiosity and excitement.
"Hello! Are you pirates?"
Tesoro was taken aback and turned to look at Roy.
Roy also looked surprised, muttering to himself.
"Why is Kaido's daughter here?"
Yamato no one answered, Yamato wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he skipped and hopped into the room, curiously looking at everyone.
Wow! So many people!
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she became even more excited when she saw Savi, Enel, Pea were around the same age.
Are you guys pirates too?
The three little ones stared blankly at the overly friendly Yamato.
Before anyone could answer, the little girl's eyes lit up when she saw the pieces of meat on the table, and she immediately jumped onto the table.
He reached out and grabbed the grilled meat from the plate, taking big bites. After finishing, he licked his fingers and grinned at everyone.
When everyone realized what was happening, Bullet's face darkened, and he grabbed the little girl by the back of her collar and lifted her up.
"Hey! Kid, who are you? What are you doing here all by yourself?"
Bullet lifted the little girl into the air and looked at Yamato with a serious expression.
Yamato, kicking his short legs in mid-air, wasn't afraid at all; instead, he grinned and said:
"My name is Yamato! I'm Kaido's daughter! You must be the Roy Pirates, right? I heard Jack talking about you!"
Sigh...
" Kaido's daughter?!" Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
