After resolving his inner conflict, everything he ate tasted even better; the pile of plates in front of him grew higher and higher, nearly reaching the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bell-mère had long since finished eating; she lit a thin cigarette and leaned against the doorframe, watching the scene with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This child’s appetite had become increasingly exaggerated; eating over a hundred pounds of food in one sitting was a daily occurrence. She had specifically expanded the kitchen and built a small wooden shed nearby to serve as a pantry for ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food problem was solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the clothes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bell-mère was a bit troubled. Aside from the fruit and meat shops, the clothing store was the place she visited most often now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost every month or two, Siano’s physique would shoot up and broaden; relying solely on the clothes she made couldn't keep up with the pace, so she had to buy large batches of ready-made clothes to supplement them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with winter approaching soon, hand-knitted sweaters were always warmer. The only question was, just how big should she make them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was racking her brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano, who was working hard to fill his stomach, was also thinking about similar problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to his peers, his current physique was indeed a bit too monstrous. While his terrifying muscles provided strong deterrence against enemies, they weren't very convenient in daily life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, right now, he didn't dare shift his weight while eating; if he moved even slightly, the chair beneath him would creak and groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bathtub was unusable, so he showered directly with a garden hose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the doors in the house, the ones that could be modified were, and for those that couldn't, he had to turn sideways, hunch over, and lower his head carefully just to pass through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only I could split into two forms, a daily form and a combat form, just like Frieza...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano thought to himself silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the next few days, Siano was busy tying up loose ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resolving the Arlong Pirates, several new problems lay before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, what to do with the treasure on the ship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genzo, Scar, and the others had gone to count it, and there was over 300 million Berries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano was no saint. If the property had been looted by Arlong in the Grand Line, he wouldn't bother traveling so far or putting in so much effort to investigate and return it one by one; he would just accept it with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the tragedies had occurred in the neighboring islands and villages, especially Gosa Village, which had been reduced to ruins for failing to pay, with heavy casualties. He couldn't remain indifferent to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much thought, finding it troublesome, he simply entrusted it all to Uncle Genzo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genzo would contact the surrounding villages and towns to return the property to its rightful owners, and any surplus would be used for the reconstruction of Gosa Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This act, combined with his previous feat of defeating the Arlong Pirates,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>brought his reputation in Cocoyasi Village to a new height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever he took a stroll through the town, shop owners on both sides would enthusiastically greet him, and by the time he finished walking down a street, his hands would be full of items everyone had insisted on giving him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was the two younger sisters who benefited; once he got home, they would snatch everything up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Arlong’s pirate ship now belonged to him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was easy to handle; after a little modification and cleaning—removing the pirate flag and the shark-tooth figurehead—it transformed into a very decent civilian ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family’s orange orchard industry was booming, and they were just in need of a transport ship with enough capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last remaining problem was where to collect the bounties for these pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arlong had a bounty of 20 million Berries, and Kuroobi had 9 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Officers like Hatchan and Chew also had several million each; scattered together, the total reached over 80 million Berries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano was already quite wealthy and wasn't actually very interested in earning more money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, heads couldn't be sacrificed, and it felt like a loss not to realize their proper value, especially since this money was rightfully his to take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he simply found the nearby nautical charts from the books he’d bought for Nami, cut off the heads of these fish-men, and prepared to head to the nearest Marine branch to claim the reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two nearest Marine branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Branch 16 to the northwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was Branch 77 to the southeast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Branch 16 went without saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano asked Bell-mère to help contact her former colleagues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning that the current base commander, a Colonel named Nezumi, had just taken office last year, he immediately abandoned the idea of going to Branch 16 to claim the bounty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Branch 77, Siano had a vague impression of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that in the original timeline, the warship that dared to fire on Arlong Park belonged to Branch 77.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The base commander might have changed in the interim, but any way he looked at it, they had to be more reliable than Nezumi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you want to go out to sea again tomorrow morning and head to Branch 77?\" At the dinner table, Bell-mère was a bit unhappy. \"That's a four or five-day round trip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, four or five days might not be enough; it'll take half a month or so,\" Siano said. \"I made some friends on my last trip out to sea, and I plan to stop by and see them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while he was at it, fleece them for some more wool; that was actually more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half a month?\" Bell-mère widened her eyes, but after thinking about it, she sighed. \"Suit yourself, just remember to come back as soon as you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, she had worried that Siano’s safety couldn't be guaranteed when he went out to sea alone. As for now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bell-mère snorted. Even a whole nest of pirates from the Grand Line had been beaten into the dirt; looking across the entire East Blue, who else was her son's match?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't look at how she didn't boast everywhere like Nami usually did; deep down, she was proud to death to have such a son!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, I want to go too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me, me, and me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sisters suddenly raised their hands, scrambling to be first. Bell-mère narrowed her eyes, and her expression instantly turned unfriendly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano, however, smiled. \"Just let them come along. It's quite boring being cooped up at home all the time; consider it a chance for them to broaden their horizons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two little ones looked pitifully at Bell-mère.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Bell-mère helplessly held her forehead. \"Fine, but one thing is agreed upon beforehand: you must listen to your brother while you're out. If I find out you've been causing trouble again when you get back, don't even think about leaving the house ever again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nojiko and Nami cheered and high-fived in celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it's settled! This young lady will be the navigator for this trip!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami proudly wiped her nose with her thumb. \"Hmph, who else has as much knowledge in this area as I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll be the helmsman!\" Nojiko held her head high. \"I can even ride a bicycle; I'm best at operating vehicles!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You're riding a child's bicycle, aren't you? The kind you begged me to modify and add two small wheels to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano patted their little heads, speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't dream about it. The ship I'm taking out this time is that big ship from the Arlong Pirates. I've already hired professional helmsmen and navigators from the village to help, and Scar and the others have a few who will be coming along. You two can absorb some experience on the side, but don't even think about taking the helm yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nojiko and Nami’s cheers instantly turned into wails:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh—why—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group was packed and ready to head to Branch 77. Siano stood on the deck, leaning against the railing, waiting for his two sisters to board while taking out the nautical chart to confirm the route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Branch 77 and Shimotsuki Village are in the same direction, which will save quite a bit of time. If I go to the Goa Kingdom, Scar and the others are very familiar with the terrain there and can help me find Luffy quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was pondering, he suddenly heard Nami’s exclamation from the shore: \"Huh? Brother! Look, a big ship is coming! That emblem... Wow, it's a Marine warship!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siano looked up, puzzled, and followed the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, on the distant sea, there was a warship sailing toward Cocoyasi Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the white sail hanging in the wind, in addition to the iconic Marine scale-and-seagull emblem, the two black characters \"16\" were fluttering, quite conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1527,"2026-06-17T09:04:16.852Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","27006eb8a045ab388234a9b8920465c5f3d4c8e5c705a85712014420b1974844","one-piece-starting-by-finding-red-haired-s-sever-chapter-40","one-piece-starting-by-finding-red-haired-s-sever-chapter-38",139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-starting-with-shanks-severed-arm-cover.jpg"]
