“One, two, three, four, plus four more,”
Yamato, Maria, Robin; Even though Jack grew up in a group of girls, the reason his personality did not become feminine can be attributed to his personal idolization of Kaido.
Later, Isuka was brought back, and now four more have been added to the mix. This greatly troubled Jack, who earnestly hoped for a younger brother to appear soon to share this burden with him.
Mandrell had once told him, “A man should stand in front of women, protecting them from harm.” At the time, he was honing his defense, which was why Mandrell said this to him.
However, he had always had doubts about this statement.
At that moment, he pointed at Yamato and asked Mandrell, “Brother Mandrell, do you really think Yamato needs me to protect her?”
“Ehh, she’s an exception. In any case, as a man, you have to take responsibility.”
Mandrell couldn’t retort when given the example of Yamato. After all, she had received too much, and with Kaido’s training, not to mention people of her age, even most adult males were not her match.
In a different world, Jack would have been the typical male protagonist from the beginning; the young lady from the lord’s family, the two-faced black-haired beauty, the intellectual elder sister, the idealistic younger sister, and now, there is even a goth lolita and three sisters.
The childhood friend buff was already maxed out, but this wasn’t a harem anime, he wasn’t the main character, and his name didn’t even contain the word “Sincerity/honesty.”
His intuition told him that, let alone trying to establish a harem, even attempting to be a time management master*, he might encounter the greatest crisis of his life, like an electric and grass dual-type Judgment. [*This is another Chinese created term which means people in a marriage or relationship who make good use of time to have multiple affairs and cheating.

But as long as it didn’t involve Yamato, it should be fine. Besides, he wasn’t interested in women; getting stronger was more important to him. That was why he could continue training with the girls.
After making arrangements for the people, next was the goods. The money that was brought back wasn’t difficult, Olga could launder it in other pirate territories in due time. Arceus’ main concern was the remaining five Devil Fruits.
Apart from the original Spinosaurus Devil Fruit and Pachycephalosaurus Devil Fruit, the remaining fruits were quickly identified, exactly as described in the picture book.
The result was not unexpected; they were the same three fruits that the three Boa sisters had consumed. However, the Love-Love Fruit had only its name recorded without specific abilities.
If Queen’s picture book was obtained from that laboratory, then the World Government’s version should be similar, meaning they might not be aware of the Love-Love Fruit’s powers.
As for the two remaining Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: King Cobra and Anaconda, they were clearly documented. However, this means if he wants these four devil fruits to appear in the eyes of the public, he will need to modify their appearance.
He decided not to touch the Fruits that should have originally belonged to the three sisters since he wasn’t sure whether or not to give them the fruits. If they had chosen to join the Beasts Pirates, it wouldn’t have mattered, but they intend to return to the Kuja tribe. So, it will depend on their development in the next few years.
However, for the two Dragon-Dragon Fruits, the decision was made as soon as they received the news.
In terms of appearance, the one most closely resembling Pachycephalosaurus is undoubtedly Rampardos. However, the fruit was retrieved through robbery, and Rampardos does have some differences in its attributes.
Having “dragon” in the name doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a dragon, so in the end, the fruit chosen wasn’t Rampardos but a true dragon – Haxorus.
As for the Spinosaurus, the modification direction was more complex. A name with “dragon” didn’t necessarily mean it was a dragon. Conversely, a name without “dragon” could still be a dragon, like a certain pseudo-ground dragon – Garchomp.
Named “shark,” it was, in fact, a real dragon-type. He decided to modify the Spinosaurus into a Garchomp because he thought the Spinosaurus’ dorsal fin resembled the Garchomp’s in some way.
Except for Zoroark, Zeraora, Diancie, and the Tao Dragon reserved for Yamato, these two fruits are the most powerful ones he has modified in the past few years.
As his strength steadily grows, his reserves are increasingly getting abundant. Since these two fruits are definitely for the future core members, they naturally will have to be strengthened.
Haxorus and Garchomp, no one here could possibly recognize their origins as Pachycephalosaurus and Spinosaurus.
“Kaido, it’s about time. Haven’t you drunk enough?”
At Kaido’s level of strength, he had great control over his body and techniques like Seimei Kikan were not exclusive to the Cipher Pol.
He drinks more to enjoy the feeling of alcohol numbing his nerves. If he wanted to, he could sober up at any time.
“Oh, but I haven’t even been drunk for three days! Is there something you need?”
Upon hearing this, Kaido, who had been snoring until then, immediately opened his eyes. Despite the smell of alcohol emanating from his mouth, his gaze displayed no signs of confusion and was quite clear.
“Nothing significant. How do you find this wine?”
“The wine is good, but unfortunately, there aren’t many who can handle it.” If not able to control your body, one would get drunk instantly. This kind of wine, comparable to sleeping pills, wasn’t for everyone.
In the one piece world, a lot of drinks had low alcohol content, so if this was sold, they wouldn’t even make it past the third cup.
However, considering the number of stubborn-headed pirates in this world, this kind of drink could be very useful in some special situations.
“In that case, just tweak the recipe a bit. Beasts Fruits’ is planning to expand a few branches. Adding a liquor business would be convenient.” “If that’s the case, all we need to do is tweak the formula. Beasts Fruits is currently considering expanding a few branches, and can include a liquor business.”
While Arceus and Kaido were discussing the expansion of Beasts Fruits, the girls who had just arrived here had a brief meeting before following their temporary guardians back to their respective homes.
Olga stayed directly on Onigashima, and Acier also saw the three children that his daughter had brought back.
Although all the houses here were single-storey, it was still easy to arrange a place for her to stay. However, Perona seemed to be somewhat unaccustomed to the residences here.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it here?”
“I don’t like it here; it’s too bright.”
“Bright? Then where do you want to live?”
Setsuna instinctively emulated Rin. Even though she was still preparing for marriage, she had already decided on what to name her children. At this time, she was just practicing.
“Well, next to a dark and damp castle, preferably full of resentment. It would be perfect if there were ghosts singing songs cursing the world nearby!”
Faced with Setsuna’s question, Perona thought for a moment and then described her ideal living environment.
This was the result of her growing environment and it has almost become a fixed trait. After all, she grew up in this kind of environment during her formative years.
However, this kind of environment is somewhat difficult to find here. Even the basement of Onigashima can’t provide the so-called gloomy atmosphere.
