Many similar applications were submitted, such as Babanuki’s request to add a ‘breeder’ position at the Seastone mine. Although the presence of Gigalith has significantly improved mining efficiency, and Aggron and Geodude have raised security levels, the food consumption of these Rock-type Pokémon is also a problem.
Although ores are their food source, their food is not limited to ores only. They also need some normal food and special food to supplement their nutrition in order to grow strong and sturdy.
Regular food is manageable, but special food includes, but is not limited to, Berry products, metal powder, rare ores, and more. Allowing them to forage for themselves can lead to some mineral losses, so Babanuki believes that it’s necessary to assign some specialists.
Kibi’s cotton ranch applied for additional personnel who can fly or equipment capable of wind control. Although there are some Millennial Dragons assisting now, Whimsicott and Jumpluff still occasionally wander away.
Even though they would return shortly, it’s best to prevent such situations as much as possible.
These were all reasonable applications, and even Mandrell’s reason is quite reasonable. Although he can’t fly, as a water-based Devil Fruit user, he can freely dive.
“Jack is already over eight years old. It seems like a good idea for him to go out and see the world. Mandrell can take him under his wing at that time.”
Many things can be learned under Kaido’s guidance, but there are some things Kaido can’t teach, such as Fish-Man Jujutsu and Fish-Man Karate. This is an area that Kaido has no knowledge about.
Although the Fish-Men have a rather awkward status, Fish-Men Karate, which affects water in the enemy’s body to cause more damage, is one of the few things that Fish-Men can be proud of.
This is a skill that the Fish-Men have evolved over thousands of years, the most suitable for the Fish-Men, and it’s not limited to just Fish-Men or Merfolk; humans can learn it as well.
So, these applications were quickly approved.
In addition to these, there were some peculiar applications that were rejected. For instance, Queen suggested expanding the security system, preferably adding theft-proof doors to all plantations. Such a meaningless proposal was naturally passed over.
He did this purely because the last plantation invasion incident had left him heartbroken. There was also Kojiro’s proposal. After the Beasts Pirates took full control of Wano Country, Kojiro’s business had become a unique monopoly.
On one hand, there truly was no other businessman in Wano Country who could compete with him, but Kojiro’s presence didn’t disrupt the market because his business had become a special state-owned business.
However, his application was about giving something to Hyogoro to do because nowadays, when Hyogoro has nothing to do, he’s training Kojiro, and when there’s something to do, he’s still training Kojiro. He’s not the dejected old man who, having lost his family and comrades, was tormented in the mines, with his spirit broken.
He is in the prime of his life and is still the prominent Yakuza boss, possessing formidable Armament Haki and impressive swordsmanship, which often leaves Kojiro in great distress.
Naturally, this application wasn’t approved either. Present-day Hyogoro had little to do. Nowadays, he has nothing to do. He continues to maintain law and order and mediate disputes in Flower Capital as he did in the past.
He is also very cooperative with the new policy initiatives set by the Beasts Pirates. Although he doesn’t shout slogans or lead any disruptions, and simply observes everything silently. So, training Kojiro is where he can contribute most effectively.
In terms of Armament Haki, there is more than one who is better than him in Beasts Pirates, but him teaching Kojiro would save a considerable amount of time. In the end, this is a world where strength determines everything, so enhancing one’s strength is essential, even if he is fundamentally just a businessman.
A new day arrived as scheduled. Yamato’s birthday is always a day off, but everything will remain the same the next day.
However, her room had an additional bed yesterday, a bed made entirely of diamonds. That was Diancie’s spot, although Yamato thought it was unnecessary because her own bed was large enough; having one more Diancie, in addition to Alcremie, wasn’t a problem.
However, Diancie refused and created the diamond bed on the side. Diamonds were the most familiar object to her. Nevertheless, new bedsheets were spread over it.
Her room resembled a large duplex structure, occupying a significant area within Onigashima. After entering through the corridor’s door, it was the room where the Chanseys lived, and in the Chanseys’ room were their bedrooms. Besides the original three, there were still many vacant rooms.
Some of those rooms were prepared for newcomers. Originally, they lived alone, and Chansey also served as the caretaker. If there was any activity in the rooms, they could detect it and rush there promptly.
However, doors were not necessary. For a creature called Kaido, whether it was the floor, ceiling, windows, or the exterior walls, all were potential points of surprise attack.
But today was different. A few minutes before the alarm clock rang, Shayna arrived here.
“Chanseeeey~?”
Seeing Shayna, Chansey paused their work. This duplex room was not just a bedroom. Except for the lack of a bathroom, it had all the necessary amenities, including a kitchen. Chanseys were preparing breakfast as usual; making a simple breakfast was no issue for them.
Meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, and simple carbohydrates – compared to the mountains of food for lunch and dinner, these dishes seemed very little.
At first, Riko also helped here, but starting last year, she moved to a different place to live. She returned to the Red-Light District.
However, she wasn’t doing simple odd jobs anymore; she was now in charge of the entire Red-Light District. In this regard, Kaido hadn’t treated the widow of his former comrade unfairly or went beyond.
“Well, today and for a while, I’ll be in charge here.”
“Chanseeeey~~”
As the minute hand pointed to 7, the alarms in various rooms went off on time, and within five minutes, everyone had come out.
Yamato had a cheerful look on her face. Although Kaido often launched surprise attacks, if it exceeded five minutes, it meant that he wouldn’t be in charge of today’s training, at least not in the morning.
“Sister Shayna, are you one who is going to train us today?”
“Yeah, Mr. Kaido left last night and probably won’t be back for a while.”
“Great!”
Worried about Kaido? That kind of emotion would probably never appear in her heart. She wasn’t worried about danger falling on Wano Country if Kaido is not here; rather the ones who should be worried are the others.
“Don’t get too excited; my training won’t be easy either. Lord Sacred Beast has already set new goals for you.”
“No problem, no problem, it would still be much easier than Father’s training.” Although Kaido’s departure didn’t mean the training difficulty would decrease, at least this training wouldn’t be life-threatening.
