Chapter 196: Morning Star's Children's King

New World, the Donghai Dihuang.

The sky was not yet bright; Saint Saint Saiwen, who was dreaming of punching Imu and kicking the Five Elders, was woken up by Yamato sitting heavily on his stomach.

"Brother, I want meat."

Though she was a cute little Bai Mao with pink skin, to Saint Saint Saiwen she looked just like a little devil with two horns.

Eat your sister, eat.

Saint Saint Saiwen lifted Yamato like a chick and, using both hands, gently tossed her out the door.

"Go on."

Perhaps accustomed to being beaten by Kaido, Yamato was incredibly tough; at only eight years old, she had already awakened Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki.

Indeed, if Kaido beat her for another year or half a year, there was a high probability she would awaken all three types of Haki before turning ten.

Such talent was truly terrifying.

She was stronger than Hancock at ten; Perona, at five, had already become Yamato's shadow, abandoning even her cheap father, Moria.

Yamato was simply the children's king of the Morning Star group.

Speaking of the three Hancock sisters, Saint Saint Saiwen had to admit that the couple Rayleigh and Shakky had huge hearts; knowing Hancock had been rescued months ago, they hadn't even asked once.

They acted as if they had entrusted the three Hancock sisters entirely to Saint Saint Saiwen's care.

Precisely because of this,

Saint Saint Saiwen had unknowingly gathered Nico Robin, Perona, Yamato, Hancock...

This group of cute little girls would all become top-tier beauties in ten years.

Moreover, each possessed considerable strength.

The scene of Nico Robin transforming into a demon form and tearing Black Maria apart with her bare hands was quite thrilling.

Perona once nearly wiped out the Straw Hat crew; anyone hit by her Negative Ghost went silent.

As for Yamato, no need to say more; she was the number one female combatant below Big Mom, with all three Haki types and a top-tier Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, able to trade blows evenly with the old man Kaido.

However, Yamato no longer wields her spiked club; she spends her days clamoring to learn swordsmanship.

The Wano Country national treasure, the sword Shusui, had already been swiped by Yamato from Saint Saint Saiwen's hands; after all, since she was Saint Saint Saiwen's future wife, she naturally deserved special treatment.

Hancock had also awakened all three types of Haki,

but only the Paramecia-type Mero Mero no Mi remained in Saint Saint Saiwen's possession; currently, Saint Saint Saiwen did not intend to let Hancock eat it.

Unless Hancock became one of his own people.

Sometimes Saint Saint Saiwen even began to wonder: was he truly a lolicon? If not, how could it be such a coincidence?

So many little loli were on the ship.

It was too terrifying.

Moreover, almost all the girls who had awakened all three types of Haki, except for Big Mom, were on the Donghai Dihuang.

Imu's gender is unknown, so she is not included in the statistics.

By the time Yamato returned holding Perona's hand, Saint Saint Saiwen had finished washing up and changed into a new outfit.

"Yamato, go to the bow and swing your sword ten thousand times."

"If you don't finish, there's no food for you today."

What to do when a child has boundless energy?

Just drain the battery.

Guaranteed to fall asleep the moment their head hits the pillow.

Unlike Perona, who often acted cute to escape training, Yamato actually swung her sword ten thousand times.

"Okay."

Yamato picked up Shusui and flew toward the dragon head, then drew her sword and swung it with proper form.

Saint Saint Saiwen turned his head with a smile, looking at Perona, who was holding a teddy bear and acting cute.

"Little one, do you want training too?"

Perona shook her head frantically, then rolled and crawled, begging only to get away from the terrifying Captain my lord as quickly as possible.

Having dealt with the two little loli, Saint Saint Saiwen continued to use Observation Haki to search for the whereabouts of Zunesha.

According to the message returned by Vergo, Kaido had already tied up the Little Bird and brought him back to Dressrosa, agreeing that the Beasts Pirates would move to seize the country in half a month.

That was fine too;

moving just as the World Conference was about to be held would let the World Government and the Navy have a headache.

With the old man Kaido as a comparison, the World Government would finally realize just how good Saint Saint Saint Saiwen truly was.

Apart from occasionally kidnapping Celestial Dragons, occasionally Extort the World, occasionally destroying the Navy Headquarters, and occasionally executing Celestial Dragons... Saint Saint Saint Saiwen was simply too good to be true.

Before finding a solution, Saint Saint Saiwen kept delaying the matter of signing the shallow sea contract with Imu.

Now that the Universal Sealing Scroll was in his possession, Saint Saint Saiwen was eager for the day of the World Conference to arrive quickly.

Once he became a Godly Knight, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen would personally visit the Navy Headquarters to guide their work, bringing Corazon to revoke the Morning Star group's bounty right in front of Sengoku.

Shiki would not be revoked for now.

The five billion bounty was the glory of Senior Shi Ji.

Moreover, it was necessary to give the outside world the illusion that Saint Saint Saiwen and Shi Ji were at odds, with one in Inazuma and the other on Honeycomb Island, splitting the family and causing internal strife.

Two great pirates with five billion bounties together would indeed be a bit too frightening.

Calculating the time, the Saint Saint Saiwen Warlords of the Sea system should be a product of recent years; at that time, let Moria go claim a Saint Saint Saiwen Warlord seat.

This would disperse the Morning Star group's power into small units.

Once preparations were fully complete, they would give the World Government and the little sister Imu a surprise.

Compared to searching for the lantern fish, searching for Zunesha was much easier; after all, Zunesha's body was large enough that even though it moved constantly, it remained on the sea surface.

Lanternfish are different; they spend most of their time below sea level.

Even so, it took Saint Saint Saiwen and his party about seven days to find the walking Elephant.

As the Elephant's towering figure slowly entered the farthest reaches of their vision, each lift and fall of its limbs sent up towering waves, causing the sea surface to heave.

Gasps and exclamations rose and fell on the deck.

"My god! Is it really that big?"

Jin Ni's eyes widened to perfect circles, matching the identical expression on Perona in her arms.

Those who had never seen an Elephant could hardly imagine the scene of a five-thousand-meter-tall giant walking toward you and growing larger and larger.

"Captain, will we be attacked? If it steps down, the whole sea will flip over, right?"

Despite his words, Laffitte was drooling.

He seemed to be considering whether such a giant's flesh would taste good and what cooking method to use.

He already possessed the air of a master chef.

Even Saint Saint Saiwen, seeing the Elephant again, could not help but marvel at the wonder of creation; it was a pity such a huge creature existed only as a single individual.

How wonderful it would be if it could continue to reproduce offspring like the colossal Sea Kings in the Calm Belt.

As the Elephant drew closer and closer.

Under that moving shadow, the Donghai Dihuang looked as insignificant as a small wooden plank, ready to be overturned by the towering waves at any moment.

"Saint Saint Saiwen Taro, shall we really not make way?"

Cat Fushe's eyelids twitched nonstop.

Thirteen years ago, Cat Fushe, only seven years old, and Inuarashi left Zou, encountered a shipwreck, were later saved by Oden, and have followed Oden ever since.

To be precise, this was Cat Fushe's first return to his hometown Zou after many years away.

Cat Fushe, only one year older than Saint Saint Saiwen, felt a certain amount of fear facing the Elephant at this moment.

"Wait here for a moment; I'll go chat a few words with the big guy."

With those words, Saint Saint Saiwen stepped on empty air.

With each step, he flashed instantly; in the blink of an eye, he was hovering above the Elephant's head, gazing into those pair of giant eyeballs.

Boom-boom-boom-boom~

Saint Saint Saiwen's heart beat like a drum, causing the Elephant to stop its steps immediately, while a strange, bright luster flickered in its massive eyes.

【Joy Boy?】

Saint Saint Saiwen smiled brilliantly and, instead of answering, asked a question.

【Guess?】
