“A new companion? That’s great! There is finally someone new coming.”
It had been some time since new children arrived on Onigashima. Well, not entirely. But Kaido clearly treated these children differently.
These children had grown up on the Outer Islands or were natives of Wano Country, and their training was quite ordinary.
Only those he recognized as capable of enduring his training could set foot on Onigashima, experiencing the hellish, unique life with Yamato.
Though he trained many, not everyone was worthy of receiving one-to-one training from him. Strictly speaking, Isuka wasn’t all that qualified either; it was just that Shayna acknowledged her perseverance.
“Mr. Kaido, is it a boy this time?”
Jack, who was also lying exhausted on the ground, raised this question. Normally, stopping immediately after intense exercise wasn’t good, so Kaido kindly had them swim an extra lap slowly, further depleting their energy, almost causing Jack to sink for real.
Jack had a reason for asking this. Currently, his entire circle was composed of girls, and even Alcremie and Chansey were females. As the only male, he had experienced what it meant to be treated differently.
He needed a little brother to share this agony with, but Kaido’s answer was bound to disappoint him.
“No, it’s a little girl.”
“Is that so…”
Jack suddenly felt it wouldn’t be so bad to go out to sea early; he would be able to pick up a child on his own.
The following steps were familiar: cleaning up in the bathroom and then heading to the grand dining hall of Onigashima. While there is a small mess available for high-ranking officers, most of the time, they could be seen in the dining hall.
Numerous hired chefs showcased their culinary skills, roasting large pieces of sea beasts’ meat into golden-red chunks served on the dining table. Even Wagyu beef, which is expensive outside, is a common sight here.
It’s not that Wano Country doesn’t have its own chefs, but they were assigned to handle appetizers and cold dishes. If they were also responsible for the main course, not only would the chefs get exhausted, but the pirates would also starve to death.
Humans had climbed to the top of the food chain by relying on technology over a long period of time. If these pirates had to eat grass every day, they would undoubtedly go mad. However, there were also some vegetarians within the Beasts Pirates, and they sustain themselves thanks to Poffin made from Berries.
After some improvements, the taste of Berry Poffin became more suitable for humans while providing a wealth of nutrients.
However, there was one unique piece of equipment on the dining table, similar to a small swimming pool. Spring water of Wano Country was pumped into it through a water supply device, and inside it were several moving mangosteens.
With green leafy hats and red tops and white bottoms, they resembled mangosteens. They were Bounsweet, the bottom of the food chain in the Alola Region’s food chain, a Fruit Pokémon.
The scent they naturally emit is an irresistible lure to all Bird Pokémon, and their own vulnerability leads to many bird Pokémon being drawn to them and making them their prey.
They were also a Pokémon species forbidden from entering the Totto Land region.
In the Pokémon world, some humans had tried Bounsweet, but its sweetness was too much for them. Bounsweet’s sweat, when diluted with water, became perfectly proportioned mangosteen juice.
Most people choose to soak Bounsweet in water, which is almost an inexhaustible resource.
But for Big Mom Pirates who have a sweet tooth, the sweetness of the food didn’t matter much. With Charlotte Linlin’s personality, it was highly likely she could even eat Bounsweet raw.
So, they too became restricted species for export. However, Bounsweet’s sweat had become a new product for Beasts Fruits, marketed as an absolutely healthy concentrated fruit juice that only required a drop to yield incredibly sweet juice.
The sweat of Bounsweet, after sterilization and vacuum packaging, is incredibly easy to store and transport. Nowadays, hotels around the world, especially upscale buffet restaurants, greatly love this product.
“Bounsweeeet~”
“Is the water temperature good? Do you all like this temperature?”
“Bounsweeeet~”
Yamato was having a friendly conversation with the Bounsweet. For her, this was very easy. The Bounsweet’s beverage stand resembled a miniature indoor swimming pool.
In addition to the pool serving as a juice reservoir, there were also diving boards and similar things. After downing over half a glass of Bounsweet juice, Yamato began her own work.
Her lips curled upward, her teeth sharpened, and she entered her Human-Beast form. Then, her hand emitted a chill, causing ice crystals to form on the juice. With a stir from chopsticks, a homemade slushie appeared.
A Mythical Zoan devil fruit user, when proficient with their abilities, could manipulate the power of that mythical creature without transforming. However, Yamato’s training wasn’t at that level yet.
She has to enter this form to make a good slushie. Afterward, she waved to the Alcremie and others in the dining hall and filled the remaining portion of her cup with cream.
“Do you want a slushie?”
“Yes, please.”
“Thank you.”
Jack and Maria didn’t refuse. There wasn’t a custom of drinking hot beverages in Wano Country, and they didn’t have it either as drinking hot beverages wasn’t suitable here.
Moreover, Yamato’s modified Okuchi no Makami granted her strong resistance to cold, so eating something cold wasn’t a big deal for her. Maria held a cup in her hand, while Jack handed over a plate with his trunk.
As a Copperajah ability user, the trunk was his third arm. So, the most basic requirement for him regarding the fruit’s power was the ability to use his trunk skillfully. In his daily life outside of training, he was required to use his trunk as much as possible, even for writing and eating. That’s why there were forks in his plate. It was quite a challenge for an elephant to use chopsticks with its trunk.
Soon, both of their fruit juices transformed into slushies. However, when they took their seats, there was suddenly an extra plate of broccoli and green peppers in front of them.
“Chanseeeey~!”
Four Chansey suddenly appeared on the nearby chairs. Their short, round arms all pointed at the vegetables in front of them. Even without the Power of Viridian, Maria and Jack could understand what Chansey meant.
【No Picky Eating】
Chansey’s gaze swept across the table full of fried and grilled food. Apart from the mountain of meat, the only vegetables were the lettuce and tomatoes in the hamburgers. This was absolutely unacceptable to the four nannies.
Although the children had grown up, Chansey, who had raised them, still possessed their maternal authority.
After forcibly placing a bowl of vegetables on the table, the Chansey pulled out a child from behind them.
After Amalee brought her here, she handed Isuka over to Chansey. Even though Isuka had mentally prepared herself, she was still startled when she saw Chansey.
