Chapter 23. I only have family on board
"Brother! Look at the warship below! ”
"Ahh See, Xiao Feng's side seems to be going well, go down. ”
On the edge of the harbor of Harvest Island, Kazan looked down just in time to see a warship coming from the side, and the figure on the deck was very conspicuously waving to this side.
"Yo~~~ Kazan, Monet-chan~ You seem to be very successful."
"Hmph, nonsense, how can the strongest in the world fail in the future, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go to sea, we still have a devil fruit in our hands, don't be attacked by the navy and pirates at the same time."
"It will call the slave family..."
Von Clay complained dissatisfiedly, but walked seriously towards the rudder.
"Wait! What about sugar? ”
“... Hiss!!! ”
"You don't..."
"Sucrose went to boo, I don't know if no one will help her pee her pants, Monet-chan, you go and see."
"Damn, scare me."
Kazan wiped his sweat, and his heart was so violent that he almost didn't let him turn into a ghost.
"Brother. Next, are you going to the West Sea? ”
"If nothing else, yes, go find a sister of the same age as you, and then you will have to compare who is older than the two of you."
"Brother, until then... Can you take me and Sucrose back to where we were born? Beg.."
"Don't be so polite when talking to your family, no matter how rude your request is, my brother will agree to you."
Kazan interrupted Monet by flicking her forehead.
"Hee-hee."
"The place where you were born is ..... before"
"Oh no! We were born on Cocos Island. ”
"I've never heard of it, so it will take a lot of time if I don't know how to get there."
Kazan leaned against the railing of the warship, indifferently looking at the shore that was fading away below and the yellow-haired boy who was running wildly in a frenzy.
"Please take me!"
"Please let me join you!"
"I'll prove my worth to you!"
"Let me do whatever I want, take me on board!"
Bellamy rushed to the shore panting, not caring about resting, looking at the warship that had begun to leave the harbor and the red figure, shouting frantically.
It was his all-out, desperate cry, the real beginning of his determination to change his destiny.
"You... Any idea how to get around Cocos Island? ”
Bellamy looked up hesitantly, met the red eyes that stared at him, trembled and nodded and replied, "I know!" ”
"Then you can come up."
Bellamy looked at the rope ladder thrown in front of him, grabbed it excitedly, and climbed up frantically.
Kazan continued to lean against the railing and stare at the growing harvest island, not looking at Bellamy, who was standing stiffly on the side after climbing up.
"That's... I want to join you, I want to be your subordinate! ”
"I don't need subordinates on my ship."
“... You can do whatever you ask me to do! Start as a handyman! ”
“... Do you have a family? ”
“... Now, there are no more. ”
Kazan tilted her head and glanced at him.
"Oh, the people on this ship, they used to be all alone, but now, we're family."
"They are my most cherished brothers and sisters, the people I value the most, and I only have them now."
"All who hurt them and insult them will die."
"You said you wanted to join us?"
"That means you want to be our family, to be my little brother."
"So.... You have to show that you want to be our family. ”
"Understood?"
Bellamy listened to Kazan's words, a little confused, he had lost his family since he was a child, and he didn't understand what Kazan's consciousness meant.
"I..."
"I don't need subordinates on my ship, I just need family members who can be entrusted to my back."
Kazan left one last word, and then left, having just finished fighting Doflamingo, and had to think about the gains of this battle.
Bellamy looked at Kazan's slightly tired figure, and his heart was a little touched.
His little brothers should have looked at his back like this in the first place.
Bellamy's eyes gradually began to become hazy, he clenched his hands, gritted his teeth, and spoke firmly to the back in front of him.
"I'll prove to you that I can be a family member you can entrust!"
"And when you are tired, I will shoulder the responsibility to protect those younger brothers and sisters who are still weak for you!"
"I swear!"
Kazan didn't react when he heard the first sentence, anyone can say big things.
However, when I heard the second sentence, I was slightly moved, turned my head slightly, glanced behind me and muttered, "If it can really become like that..."
"That's great."
。。。。。。
"Bellamy-chan, are you sure it's going in this direction?"
"Yes, Mr. von Cray, it must be in this direction, it should be not far ahead."
"Well... You don't have to see the outside so much, since you are on the boat, it is a family, just call the slave Xiao Feng. ”
“... No, I have not yet been recognized by Mr. Kazan and do not dare to be part of your family. ”
"Oops... It's really stubborn, obviously we are the same age, don't be so respectful, let's talk about each other's stories. ”
At the helm, the poor tool man von Clay and the down-and-out Bellamy got together and exchanged heartfelt complaints.
Monet was next to him taking care of Sucrose for dinner, glancing at Bellamy from time to time.
She didn't like this man very much.
Because some time ago, Bellamy came to annoy her and Kazan's sweet life all day long, and shouted about how cowhide Doflamingo was.
This made Monet, who greatly admired Kazan, feel a lot of hostility and unhappiness towards Bellamy from then on.
"Humph!"
Monet snorted disdainfully, regardless of whether this man would become a family member in the future, Monet had already decided not to be good with him anyway.
Sucrose sat obediently in Monet's arms to eat, but sometimes his eyes wandered around the ship.
Bored~
I want to provoke my brother.
"How's it going?"
"You're practicing swordsmanship at the stern of the boat."
"Oh."
"Monet-chan~"
Suddenly, Vonclay's voice came: "I can already see Cocos Island!" I didn't expect it to be close. ”
"Oh, you go find a place to park the warship and hide it, and I'll call my brother."
"Uh-huh~"
Soon.
The five young children gathered in a harbor on Cocos Island.
"It looks like a super prosperous island!"
Von Clay looked at the lively scene by the harbor and looked a little excited.
"Of course, this place belongs to the center of the North Sea like Harvest Island, and this island also has one of the richest countries in the North Sea, the Kingdom of Kos, the strength of the kingdom's guard is quite strong, so there are generally no pirates and gangsters who come here to make trouble, and even the navy will not spend too much effort to place too many troops here, but just put hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled here to deal with the welfare of the world's ZF member countries."
Although Bellamy was only fourteen years old, he knew a lot about Beihai and told Kazan and his party a lot of things he didn't know.
"But the most critical... Is it because this is the hometown of Whitebeard Pirates' Fifth Captain 'Flower Sword' Bista? ”
"Uh, yes, Mr. Kazan, how do you know?"
"Nonsense, who are you looking at next to you?"
