Chapter 228: Inazuma Kindergarten

Undersea Paradise, Fish-Man Island.

After successfully ascending to the status of Yonko, Golden Lion spent every day grinning, thinking about how to recruit crew and expand his territory.

A few days ago, he learned from Yuzhi Xiliu that Saint Saint Saiwen had recruited two crew members of considerable strength on Fish-Man Island.

This led Golden Lion, adopting a copycat mindset, to come to Fish-Man Island to test his luck.

If Saint Saint Saiwen could do it, he certainly could too.

If Fish-Man Island didn't work out, he would simply retrace the path Saint Saint Saiwen had taken when recruiting people.

Copying homework? Simple!

Especially copying the homework of a successful person like Saint Saint Saiwen; it surely wouldn't go wrong.

Not long after arriving on Fish-Man Island, Golden Lion actually encountered a very rare talent.

"Kid, what's your name?"

"Jack. My name is Jack."

"How old are you this year?"

"Eight years old. I am eight years old this year."

Looking at the four-meter-tall Goliath Grouper Fish-Man before him, Golden Lion pursed his lips: This is eight years old?

He was nearly a meter taller than Saint Saint Saiwen.

"Jack, come join my Flying Pirate Crew."

Eight-year-old Jack shook his head: "My Lord Golden Lion, I actually want to join the Morning Star Crew..."

Damn it, Golden Lion cursed silently.

No wonder he couldn't recruit talent; after finally finding a promising prospect, only to discover the boy wanted to join the Morning Star Crew. One could imagine how difficult it was for other pirate crews to recruit.

Just as Golden Lion was about to offer some persuasion, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket began to vibrate incessantly.

"Hello, this is Golden Lion."

A few words whispered from the other end of the line made Golden Lion instantly beam with joy; after hanging up the Den Den Mushi, he threw his head back and laughed uncontrollably.

The Eternal Lion! The Eternal Lion!

Captain Saint Saint Saiwen finding pure gold meant that he, Golden Lion, was about to advance from the Complete Lion to the true Eternal Lion.

Golden Lion had no patience for further nonsense; he grabbed Jack by the scruff, tied him to the ship, and ordered his subordinates to leave Fish-Man Island immediately.

By simply rising to the sea surface, Golden Lion could pilot the Complete Lion to leap over the Red Line and reach Inazuma at the fastest possible speed.

Not long after the Complete Lion departed.

News that the Fish-Men had been tricked away by pirates again reached King Neptune.

King Neptune wore a mournful expression.

"This is already the fourth member of Fish-Man Island taken away by pirates in recent times..."

Wang Fei Otohime was equally at a loss for words.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen took Tiger and Jinbe; the Whitebeard Pirates' intern took Arlong; the newly ascended Yonko Golden Lion took an eight-year-old Fish-Man..."

"Indeed, this is somewhat excessive."

But what could be done?

They could not provoke Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, nor could they provoke the Yonko Golden Lion.

The only one they could pressure, Blackbeard Teach, had once been a Whitebeard Pirates intern; although he had left the crew, he still used the Whitebeard flag to take Arlong away.

Even out of respect for Whitebeard, they on Fish-Man Island found it hard to say anything.

King Neptune seemed to make up his mind, pulling out his exclusive big-beard Den Den Mushi to make a call.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, I have decided. From today on, Fish-Man Island will hoist the Flame Flag!"

Hoisting the Flame Flag not only meant Fish-Man Island would enjoy the protection of Saint Saint Saint Saiwen and the Morning Star Crew, but also signaled that Fish-Man Island would pay tribute to the Morning Star Crew.

King Neptune had no choice.

If things continued like this, the outstanding youth of Fish-Man Island would likely be tricked away entirely by pirates, leaving Fish-Man Island facing a crisis of generational talent loss.

Arlong, that troublemaker, was one thing.

Eight-year-old Jack was also of little consequence.

Only Tiger and Jinbe remained an eternal pain in King Neptune's heart.

Moreover, since they had already paid such a high price, they might as well go with the flow and hoist the Flame Flag to enjoy protection.

The Den Den Mushi laughed: "No problem."

"If anyone causes trouble on Fish-Man Island, stay in contact at any time; I will send people to resolve it."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Saint Saint Saiwen rubbed his brow.

An extra income from Fish-Man Island brought Saint Saint Saiwen almost no benefit; Inazuma alone earned a fortune just from selling Sea Prism Stone products.

Instead, it meant taking on an extra responsibility.

"First, find a few typical cases and execute them severely, so that no stray dogs or cats dare to cause trouble on Fish-Man Island."

Authority is carved out bit by bit through killing.

Not long after returning to Inazuma.

Saint Saint Saiwen was pestered by Yamato, who clung to his back refusing to let go, clearly resenting that he hadn't taken her along when he went out to play.

"Yamato, next time I will definitely take you. Go play with your little friends."

"Really?" Yamato blinked her large eyes.

Saint Saint Saiwen nodded: "If I'm lying, I'm a puppy."

After receiving this assurance, Yamato left, hopping and skipping alongside her new friend Black Maria.

Watching the little loli and the big loli leave, Saint Saint Saiwen couldn't help but sigh.

"If we add a kindergarten principal, it will truly become the Inazuma Kindergarten."

Kindergarten members: Yamato, Nico Robin, Perona, the three Hancock sisters, and the newly arrived Black Maria.

The eldest, Hancock, is eleven; Robin is ten; Black Maria is nine; Yamato is eight; and the youngest, Perona, is only five.

If I go to the East Blue to bring Nami back... Saint Saint Saiwen hurriedly terminated this dangerous thought.

Taking out the list sent back by Vergo, Saint Saint Saiwen glanced at it briefly; the list contained only the moles Kaido had specifically left behind before his withdrawal.

"Leave it to Yuzhi Xiliu to handle."

If we kill them all, Vergo might be exposed; so we will wait two years before killing them all, letting Kaido believe that Black Maria has already defected.

In this way, the Morning Star Group gains another combatant.

Saint Saint Saiwen would love for that old man Kaido to send more spies.

After settling important matters, Saint Saint Saiwen flashed instantly to the very top of the General's Mansion and retrieved six crafted pure gold rings from the System Space.

The first batch of rings was crafted into only six pieces.

Five of them were one-gram pure gold rings; Lei Li and Xia Qi, the couple, each took one, while Shiki has not yet returned.

The rest, including Master Tenghu and other Morning Star Group officers, believed they had not yet reached their peak and temporarily refused to wear the pure gold rings.

The remaining two pure gold rings, Saint Saint Saiwen planned to give to Jabra and Uncle Crocus when he had time.

Of course, he would definitely have to coax the Roger Pirates' ship doctor, Uncle Crocus, to Inazuma first.

Ship doctor Crocus has exquisite medical skills and can fully cultivate medical talents for Inazuma.

Retire? Retire from what?

It is the prime time for struggle; retire from what?

As for how to handle the whale Laboon? Find time to take Brook over to meet Laboon, after all, he is the King of Souls, Brook.

It is worth Saint Saint Saiwen personally inviting him aboard.

For the last pure gold ring, Saint Saint Saiwen chose to list it on the trading platform to test the waters.

【Longevity Ring: 1 million points, an artistic ring crafted from pure gold, capable of granting the effect of eternal youth...】

As long as this ring is successfully sold, Saint Saint Saiwen can unlock the opportunity to consume the third Devil Fruit and eat the national treasure of Elbaf.

By then, the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit can further strengthen Saint Saint Saiwen's physique by a large margin.

Although Loki's body type would be more suitable for consumption, Saint Saint Saiwen feels it is more appropriate to eat good things himself.

Loki... we will talk about powerful fruits when we meet him in the future.

If it really doesn't work out,

the Mythical Zoan Vampire form combined with the Ancient Giant bloodline is also very promising!

Not only can one fly, but it also strengthens the physique, and one can achieve immortality without wearing a pure gold ring.

How is that not a powerful fruit?
