Sasaki insisted on eting Kaidou, to him it was like a fan eting, and he couldn’t be satisfied without eting the main person.
Although fanatical admiration for Kaidou is not wrong in the Hundred Beasts Pirates, his attitude is bound to annoy so people, for example, Shaina has developed a very poor first impression of Sasaki.
Originally, she had a fairly good impression of Sasaki for bringing back the Plate, but this attitude has exhausted all his impression points with her.
In the end, Sasaki’s request was fulfilled, Kaidou ended his training early and ca here after passing things over to Arceus.
"Is it you? What’s your request? You can say it now, right?"
"Yes, Lord Kaidou, I wish to join the Hundred Beasts Pirates, please let follow you!"
At this mont, his attitude was much more respectful than before.
"Wugorogoro, an interesting newcor, I heard you found that thing, right? In that case, there’s certainly no problem with joining us. From today, your pirate group can fly my flag."
"No, Lord Kaidou, what I an is I want to completely join the Hundred Beasts, I’ve already decided to give up my original captain’s position."
"Is that your request?"
"If I may, I wish to drink with you alone, apart from the ritual wine of sworn brotherhood."
The ritual wine is drunk when one joins the other pirate group and becos an affiliated pirate group. It is a unique part of pirate world culture, and even if Sasaki plans to give up his previous position to join directly, this procedure is unavoidable.
But he wanted to have a drink with Kaidou alone.
"Are newcors this brave now?"
"Yeah, he actually wants to drink alone with Boss Kaidou..."
Drinking with Kaidou is not hard; at banquets, he generally wouldn’t refuse a toast, but while not hard, the process is very dangerous. If Kaidou gets drunk and there’s no suitably powerful officer nearby, ordinary mbers can beco very dangerous.
Even Yamato would choose to hide when he’s drunk.
So, hearing Sasaki’s request, so pirates around couldn’t help but look at him with admiration.
"Alright, little ones, bring up the wine!"
"Lord Kaidou, this ti I’ve brought so specialties, please honor by using the wine I’ve brought."
With Kaidou’s permission, Sasaki let his crew bring up the wines, which were a specialty from Water Seven called Ship Wine.
They would bury the sealed wine underground beside so cultivated saplings, waiting for the trees to grow to the size suitable for ship’s Dragon Bone material, then workers would cut down the trees, and the buried wine would be dug up as well.
Such wines are usually in two jars, one jar drunk at launch, and the other drunk before the ship’s retirent. At this point, Sasaki’s request was halfway achieved, but he said sothing that made Kaidou laugh.
"You’re saying you want to be my right-hand man?"
"Yes, Lord Kaidou, I heard that bringing back the Plate could earn a reward, I hope that reward could be the qualification to challenge for the position of a Lead Perforr."
"Wugorogoro, interesting, it’s been a while since I’ve seen such an interesting newcor. Your reward stays the sa, the qualification for this challenge is an extra I’m giving you, so who do you want to challenge?"
Logically, he should first challenge the Numberers, and only after gaining a single-digit number does he qualify to challenge a Lead Perforr, but Kaidou himself is one of the rule-makers, so he can naturally change such rules.
"I want to challenge the position of ’Plague Disaster’ Queen."
It’s normal for young people to be relatively arrogant. Many newcors believe they can also reach the bounties of those monsters, just missing a bit of opportunity.
He had experienced Olga’s ability before, and King rarely appeared, but whenever he did, it was in battles with the strong, whereas Queen was different; though he had a high bounty, information out there consistently portrayed him as a researcher.
He wanted a position closer to Kaidou, so he wanted to seize this opportunity.
"Fine, I agree with you. Rest well today, tomorrow we will schedule your challenge. If you succeed, you’ll be my new Lead Perforr under . If you fail, I’ll personally help you beco stronger."
Speaking, Kaidou flexed his wrist. Several officers had grown up, spending more ti fighting outside, which left him with few training opportunities.
Now only being able to beat.. train children daily was a bit tedious for him, and he always had to hold back when dealing with children, a new training punching bag seems nice too.
In so way, Sasaki’s judgnt was correct; among the Lead Perforr-level officers, Queen’s strength was indeed the bottom of the lot, but who is ’the bottom’ depends on who you compare it to.
Even if he can’t beat King, or monsters like Shaina, he wouldn’t lose to the ordinary pirates below.
The news from Ghost Island quickly reached Queen’s ears, and hearing that a newly joined pirate was going to challenge him, Queen dug his ear a bit disdainfully.
"Newcors are getting more and more reckless these days. Let Master Queen show him the gold-content of a billion bounty. But why are you delivering the ssage? Does this matter require you?"
Looking at Shaina leaning against the doorway, Queen showed a confused expression. Although Queen had a lab on Ghost Island, due to safety concerns, so experints were conducted at Udon, where he had just been.
Easily settled with a phone call, yet Shaina chose to personally co.
"Nothing much, I’m just here to tell you, if you dare give him a chance to fight back tomorrow, I’ll give you a little intensive training."
"??????"
Queen was left utterly confused, having not been beaten for a long ti, he thought he had figured out Shaina’s temperant, but trouble ca unannounced.
"Wait, big sister, what’s this got to do with ?"
"It didn’t, but since he chose to challenge you, that guy lacks so reverence toward Saint Beast-sama, let him understand what a power difference is."
"You.... Fine, I understand."
He originally wanted to properly demonstrate his combat prowess, but it seed he wasn’t going to get the chance and sympathetically mourned for Sasaki a bit; his careless actions seed to have displeased so people.
As for why he engaged in this "abetting evil" and "oppressing newcors," not to ntion his current position, even not wanting to be unlucky himself, he’d still need to act.
Better you than , Shaina’s intensive training wasn’t sothing he’d be interested in, few would find being beaten one-sidedly intriguing.
anwhile, Arceus’s eleventh Plate also returned to his body, the Insect-type Plate. Though the resistance provided by this Plate isn’t prominent in the pirate world, it remains a part of his power.
