Chapter 76: A Petite Kaido Worth Cultivating

Little Garden, the ship Donghai Donghai Dihuang of the East Sea.

After the giants Dorry and Brogy boarded, an awkward scene emerged—the open-air banquet deck suddenly felt cramped.

Dorry plopped down beside Saint Saint Saiwen.

"Captain, we'd better build a giant-sized ship; otherwise, when my other guys arrive, there won't be enough room."

Dorry and Brogy unleashed their giant combined technique, Haikoku, but the Captain absorbed it without a scratch, leaving Dorry completely awestruck.

Giants revere strength, take pride in battle, and uphold proper etiquette toward enemies.

Their captain, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, is the strongest human Dorry and Brogy have ever seen; following such a powerful man won't bury the former glory of the Giant Pirates.

"Yeah." Saint Saint Saiwen endured it, yet was happy.

He had thought the ship Donghai Donghai Dihuang of the East Sea was already large enough—even the nearly seven-meter-tall Bear lived in comfort; he had never considered giants joining the crew.

"Alright, let's make do for now."

"First, raid a big ship at the Shichibukai Islands, then head to the Red Line to pick up your old comrades Oimo and Kasi."

"Then, Head to the New World."

"Once we reclaim Hive Island, I'll take you to Elbaf to buy wood from Adam Trees and build a sturdy giant ship."

Due to the Golden Land of the Sky Island, Saint Saint Saiwen had more Beri than he needed—he still carried over two billion Beri.

I wonder if the Marine King helped secure a suitable Devil Fruit.

Saint Saint Saiwen suddenly realized: he had too many things to do—he needed to go to Elbaf, and to Egghead Island to trade with Vegapunk for the Dragon-Dragon Fruit.

He also needed to find time to deal with Doflamingo, that brat from the North Blue, for Devil Fruits.

This was the hardship of starting from zero.

If he were a rich second-generation heir with a vast family backing him, why would he have to do everything himself? He'd just shout: "I want this!"

He wouldn't be stuck now, relying solely on himself and his crew to slowly realize his dream.

But then again.

The charm of starting from zero was more captivating.

The process of building a vast power from nothing, step by step, delivered far greater emotional value and immense satisfaction.

Just like the reputation of Barzab and the Morning Star Pirates—it was earned bit by bit.

"Raid a big ship?"

Dorry and Brogy's eyes sparkled.

"Captain, we're experts at this—just find a good target, no need for you to lift a finger."

Raiding was normal for pirates; two years ago, when Saint Saint Saiwen traveled from Loguetown to the Sky Island, he survived entirely by plunder.

Kidnapping the Celestial Dragon Elaine at the Shichibukai Islands made Saint Saint Saiwen incredibly rich overnight.

"Hehe." Saint Saint Saiwen winked mischievously.

"It's all about participation."

"Ji ji ji ji." Dorry rubbed his hands—he was already impatient.

Watching this, Mihawk felt an unexpected urge, but his pride forbade him from speaking up: Barzab, just call me along!

Bear and Jin Ni shook their heads in disbelief; Master Tenghu couldn't help laughing.

Indeed, Sakazuki was right in some ways: the Captain was truly a born-evil pirate brat.

Yet Master Tenghu chose to follow him precisely because the Captain never slaughtered innocents, respected his sense of justice, and even loved the world deeply.

A few minor quirks were harmless.

Simply by stumbling upon an island, he won the loyalty of two giants who'd fought each other for eighty years—wasn't that the very essence of the Captain's charisma?

"By the way, I almost forgot the main task."

Saint Saint Saiwen brought up their objective.

"Dorry, Brogy, you know the island best—help me capture a T-Rex. The ship's missing a mascot."

For the pirate crew's future, Saint Saint Saiwen absolutely had to keep a pet onboard.

Between Triceratops, Plesiosaurus, and Pteranodon, Saint Saint Saiwen chose the more imposing T-Rex—he imagined riding it around for leisure, and it already thrilled him.

Brogy scratched his head.

"Captain, that thing's meat isn't tasty."

"Not for eating, not for eating," Saint Saint Saiwen explained. "We're keeping it as a pet. Only in extreme emergencies would we consider it emergency rations."

Generally, carnivorous animals' meat—texture and flavor—pales far beyond herbivorous ones.

Choosing the T-Rex as a pet was based on Saint Saint Saiwen's full consideration of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit he'd soon acquire—the power rivaling the Azure Dragon form, granting flight and control over fire, lightning, and storms.

In paper terms, it even surpassed the power of the Thunder-Thunder Fruit Saint Saint Saiwen consumed.

"Captain," Dorry spoke up.

"I know where the T-Rex's nest is—I'll take you there now."

"Let's go, let's go."

Saint Saint Saiwen quickly flew to Dorry's shoulder and sat down, following Dorry and Brogy back to Little Garden, striding purposefully toward a direction.

Watching the trio leave, Jin Ni looked puzzled: "Do you know why the Captain suddenly wants a pet onboard?"

Bear suddenly spoke up.

"I just heard the Captain say he plans to use the T-Rex as emergency rations."

"Nani?!" Jin Ni's pupils widened in shock.

"The Captain's brain really works differently."

Who in their right mind keeps a pet to eat in emergencies?

Jin Ni couldn't help feeling… sorry for the T-Rex about to be captured by the Captain: "I wonder if T-Rex meat tastes good—I didn't get to taste it just now."

At this moment, the small garden island.

Dorry and Brogy, looking at the dinosaurs and beasts on the island all fallen into a deep sleep, were once again shocked by the captain's strength.

Having been knocked unconscious for so long without waking, the captain's Conqueror's Haki is indeed terrifying like this.

What kind of spirit is hidden within such a tiny body?

As the captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates who set sail a hundred years ago, Dorry naturally knew that Conqueror's Haki is the embodiment of spirit and cannot be acquired through later cultivation.

Only those possessing the qualities of a king will awaken Conqueror's Haki.

"Huh?" Saint Saint Saiwen pointed toward the forest ahead.

"That Tyrannosaurus didn't faint; it's the one."

Whether it had just woken up or was not knocked unconscious by Conqueror's Haki, everything indicated that this active Tyrannosaurus was quite extraordinary.

Dorry looked in the direction Saint Saint Saiwen pointed and saw a Tyrannosaurus with a cross-shaped scar on its forehead tearing into a sleeping plesiosaur with great bites.

"It is him."

"The scar on its head was cut by stone fragments splashed during my duel with Brogy; at that time, we thought it couldn't survive."

Hearing this, Saint Saint Saiwen was even more satisfied.

This Tyrannosaurus, about twelve meters long and five meters tall, not only possesses a strong will to live but can also form a certain degree of immunity to Conqueror's Haki.

It is simply a chosen pet.

Saint Saint Saiwen precisely released Conqueror's Haki; the Haki, like red-black lightning, surrounded the Tyrannosaurus, but only after three seconds did it faint and collapse.

"Not bad, not bad."

A small Kaido, worthy of great cultivation.

Red Line, Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Due to the kidnapping incident last time, Saint Elaine was ordered by the Five Elders to be under house arrest for a full half-year; now that the ban is lifted, the irritation and suffocation accumulated in her heart almost burst out through her pores.

"Kill some slaves to celebrate, hehehe."

After brutally slaughtering all the slaves in the mansion, Saint Elaine blew on the smoking barrel of her gun.

"Hoo~"

"Go notify the Navy to send an Admiral over; this Saint is going to Sabaody Archipelago to buy some slaves. Call that... yellow, perverted Vice Admiral... over."

The Neron family guards immediately bowed deeply.

"Yes, Saint Elaine my lord."

Elaine gave another order.

"Bring giant slave mounts, and also, quickly prepare this Saint's largest yacht, the one the big fool Harald sent."

"Yes, Saint Elaine my lord."
