One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 1053 The Abnormality of the Red Hair Pirates
"Hey! Shanks! Buggy! Why are you here?"

Yamato, who was sitting on the dock, bored and skipping stones, saw a ship suddenly approaching. After recognizing the familiar ship, she immediately jumped up and shouted.

"Well...something happened. By the way, Yamato, where are your parents?"

Shanks jumped off the boat and said, his face didn't look good, and Yamato, who was familiar with him, felt that Shanks' movements were a little strange, as if he was injured.

"They went to the land of giants, and they didn't take me with them. I wanted to go there too. What a pity. By the way, how did you get hurt? Are you here to heal?"

Yamato pursed his lips and said helplessly.

"No, no, did you go to Elbaf? Oh, I'm a step too late. Never mind, I'll go to Elbaf too. What do you think, Yamato? Do you want to come with me?"

When Yamato told him about his injury, Shanks unconsciously touched his left arm. The stinging pain made his face twitch, and he suddenly felt anxious.

"Hmm? You guys are going to Erubaf?"

Yamato asked, his eyes suddenly brightening.

"Yes, we have something we want to talk to Mr. Kaido and Mrs. Lily about. To be more precise, it's about this guy."

Buggy jumped off the ship, and when he landed, he also felt a sense of disharmony, which made Yamato even more confused. What happened to these two people? Even Whitebeard wouldn't let these two people be so embarrassed, right? Did they encounter a large navy force?
"That's fine, but what's going on with you two? Wait, why do I feel like everyone on your ship is injured? This doesn't feel right, right?"

Yamato released his Observation Haki and found that something was wrong with the entire Red and Blue Force ship. Even Banchina seemed to be injured. Who did they meet?
"It's okay, just some minor injuries, it's okay, forget it, these are not the main thing, anyway, do you want to go? I can take you with me, and if there are others who want to go, they can go together."

Shanks said, waving his hand.

"I... Never mind, let's talk about it next time. By the way, Luffy is on the island, do you want to go meet him?"

Although Yamato really wanted to go, she was an adult after all, and could not run around like before, so she finally waved her hand and refused. But then she thought of Luffy and the others who were training on the island. To some extent, Luffy and the others could be considered her apprentices. After all, she also contributed to beating, uh no, teaching Luffy and the others. For example, Hiyori was currently beating, uh no, teaching Zoro and Kuina.

"Oh? Luffy and the others are here already? Pretty fast, but never mind. After all, I am the target they are chasing after, right? It is not appropriate to appear in front of them in such a mess. Let's wait until next time. Fine, we will leave first and bring you gifts next time!"

Shanks was tempted for a moment, but after thinking about it, he finally did not agree. After all, they had more important things to do now, and some personal matters should be left for the future. After saying that, Shanks pulled Buggy back onto the boat without saying a word, said hello, stopped lowering the cable, turned around and headed in another direction.

"See you next time then!"

After Yamato waved to Shanks and the others, her expression instantly turned gloomy. She was already an adult, and some things no longer needed to be reminded by others like in the past, just like this time.

Shanks and the others were all injured, and even the navigation of the Red and Blue Force seemed a little strange, obviously it was also damaged. Considering the current strength of the Red Hair Pirates, this situation is rare. In addition, they were in a hurry to find their parents, which means that something bad must have happened.

Thinking of this, Yamato didn't bother wasting time and turned around and ran towards the island. Soon he arrived at Baique's office.

"Ms. Yamato? Why are you here?"

Popov, with a cigar in his mouth and dark circles under his eyes, looked at Yamato and asked curiously.

"Help me check something. Find out what the Red Hair Pirates have been up to recently."

Yamato said this with a serious face, which was completely different from his usual Yamato. Seeing Yamato's expression, Popov also became serious immediately. After all, people who are familiar with Yamato know that although Yamato is usually smiling, when she is serious, she has leadership that is no less than Kaido and Lily.

"Okay, wait a moment Miss Yamato, but what about the Red Hair Pirates? Their actions are erratic, and there are often breakpoints, so the intelligence may not be all transmitted continuously." Popov nodded and immediately sent people to look for them. However, he did not forget to give Yamato a shot of prevention. After all, it's not that Hyakkale didn't work hard, but the Red Hair Pirates would occasionally do things like getting stranded on an uninhabited island or encountering whirlpools at sea that caused a change of course, making it too difficult to track them.

"Okay, I know. Those guys are like that. They'll try to find whatever they can. Just now, the Red Hair Pirates came. I feel like something is wrong with them. It seems like they've fought with someone. Almost all of them are injured, including the ship. And they look so anxious that it's obvious that they've encountered something."

Yamato nodded. She was also very clear about the situation of the Red Hair Pirates. After all, they had sailed together for a period of time and she knew very well that these guys were unreliable under their reliable appearance.

"Huh? They just came over? Why didn't I receive any reports? Who's on duty at the dock today?!"

Popov shouted immediately after hearing Yamato's words.

"Report! The Red Hair Pirates left shortly after arriving. Miss Yamato and them...ah, Miss Yamato, you are here."

A Baique intelligence agent ran in, and before he could finish his words he saw Yamato and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Why did you report it so late? Why didn't you report it when you were close?"

Popov looked at the intelligence officer who ran in and said dissatisfiedly.

"Sorry, boss. It happened to be shift change time. Their ship and our shift changer happened to cross the line, which caused a loophole. We will rectify it as soon as possible."

The intelligence officer said awkwardly.

"This won't happen again. If it happens again, don't blame me for deducting your salary. Okay, go back and keep an eye on it. Do you understand?"

Popov looked at the tired look on the intelligence agent's face and finally couldn't help cursing. He waved his hand and said.

"Yes!"

The intelligence officer who escaped the disaster immediately shouted, then turned and left. Then, there was another knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Popov shouted.

"Ms. Yamato, leader, these are the whereabouts of the Red Hair Pirates in the past two months. There aren't many records, but we sorted them out briefly and they're all here."

An intelligence agent said as he placed a stack of brown paper bags on the table.

"Okay, you go back first."

Popov nodded and said, while Yamato had already pulled out a piece of intelligence and started reading it.

"Two months ago, we docked for supplies and had a dispute with a local profiteer. We smashed the profiteer's black shop and all the members fled. That's not it. A month and a half ago, we docked for supplies and sold sea king meat. That's not it. A month ago, we didn't bring any money for dinner and were left behind by the merchant to wash dishes. We were redeemed by our companions. Ha, this is something Shanks can do. But that's not it. Half a month ago, we appeared near the Calm Belt and there was nothing unusual. That's not it either. Seven days ago, we found that the Red Hair Pirates had contact with an unknown ship near the Calm Belt. The follow-up is unknown. Wait, this mark is... Celestial Dragons?"

Yamato took out the photo from the last piece of intelligence and said in surprise when he looked at the huge ship on it.
