Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 20 Beasts
The return journey was faster than the outward journey. Kaido seemed to have deliberately quickened the pace. On the morning of the next day, the group crossed the Red Earth Continent and returned to the New World.

After having meals on several naval warships and prison ships along the way, the group arrived at an island located in the middle and rear part of the New World on the afternoon of the third day.

"Boss Kaido, you're back."

As soon as they arrived on the island, a strong black-haired man wearing a punk-style jacket ran up to them.

"Dirk, why are you here? Where is Jhin?"

Kaido asked in confusion when he found that the person who came to greet him was not the expected Jin.

"Some unidentified pirate ships have appeared in the waters around our territory. Lord Jin has led the brothers to investigate the situation."

Although he is only 14 years old, the powerful King is already a true cadre in the Beasts Pirates, which respects force.

"Unidentified pirate ships? How many are there?" Kaido frowned.

"About ten ships, including a large pirate ship. Judging from their direction, they are most likely coming from Honeycomb Island." Dirk continued to report.

"Beehive Island..."

Taking out the Den Den Mushi from his arms, Kaido dialed Jinn's number.

"Pah~Pah—this is Jin, Mr. Kaido, are you back?"

Jin's voice soon came from Den Den Mushi's mouth, and Jin's expression appeared on its face.

"Did the guy accept the invitation?"

"No.

That guy Sean was busy raising his precious child, so he refused."

"But this time it's not like we didn't gain nothing. No, it should be said that there were some unexpected surprises."

Kaido glanced at the three little ones who were looking around beside him, and the frustration of not being able to recruit Sean was swept away.

"Really? That's really exciting. It's all settled here, and we're preparing to return."

Jhin replied as he looked at the burning enemy ship.

"well done!
So, who are those guys from?" Kaido's voice turned cold.

"They are the pirates John has newly recruited. They are probably sent here to test our strength. They seem to be planning a big move soon."

"John...

That guy took most of Rocks's treasure back then, and everyone has been keeping an eye on him these past few years. I never thought he'd actually dare to mess with me! "

……

After learning about the situation on King's side, Kaido hung up the Den Den Mushi.

After glancing towards Beehive Island, he turned to Dirk and instructed:
"Dirk, take these three to where they're staying first, and then find someone to carry those boxes to the warehouse. I'm going to bed."

"I understand, Boss Kaido. But these little brats are..."

Dirk was a little confused. After all, Kaido had brought back treasures and navy before, but this was the first time he brought back a child.

Looking at the three little ones who had been silent since landing on the island, he muttered in his heart:
[Could this be Kaido's daughter? No, no, a boss's daughter can't be this cute...hiss~ Could this be a princess kidnapped from some kingdom?!]
Dirk looked at La's long silk dress, which looked very expensive, and her dignified demeanor, and became more and more certain of his guess.

"This blond kid is called La, and he will be a member of our Beasts Pirates from now on!
The other two are her sisters." Kaidou didn't explain any further, just left with this sentence.

"Damn, cadres?!"

Dirk was startled.

[This little girl is about ten years old, right? She looks so fragile, I think she'd cry if I spoke a little louder. She's actually a cadre!]
When King defeated the entire pirate group and became a leader, he was fourteen years old, which is already jaw-dropping.

And the girl in front of him was only about ten years old, and a girl... This was really beyond Dirk's imagination.

[Is this a user of some special fruit ability? Could she really be Kaido's daughter?!]
"Hey! Uncle Punk, stop daydreaming and take us to a rest area.

I've been floating in the sky for several days now, I'm exhausted!"

Osi was still not used to using female titles in front of strangers, perhaps because he was shy, or perhaps it was to maintain the remaining stubbornness in his heart.

"Oh! Okay, okay."

Dirk came to his senses and didn't pay much attention to Ossi's strange self-proclaimed name. He ordered a few passing pirates to move the treasure chest brought back by Kaido to the warehouse, then led them towards the base.

[No matter what, since Boss Kaido said she was a cadre, then let her be a cadre.]
"Mr. Decker, is that right? My name is Ra, and these are my sisters Osiris and Obelisk."

Seeing Dirk's somewhat stiff steps, perhaps due to nervousness or something else, La took the initiative to speak and ease the atmosphere.

"The three of us are new here. Could you please introduce us to Captain Kaido's pirate group?"

[Good, nice voice! And very polite!]
Dirk secretly crossed out the option of Kaido's daughter in his mind.

"Don't be so polite, just call me Dirk, haha~"

The rather gentle voice that sounded like being pulled dispelled the tension in his heart, and Dirk began to talk more and more.

"Our Beasts Pirates were only formed by Boss Kaido last year, and when I joined, there were only about twenty of us.

In the following year, Boss Kaido challenged other pirate groups everywhere, and then absorbed those defeated pirates into the group, and the number of pirates gradually increased.

The Beasts Pirates now have over 500 members, five large ships, and ten small ones, controlling three surrounding islands!"

Dirk's tone was full of excitement and pride. As one of the most senior members of the group, he had personally experienced the growth process of the Beasts. The current development of the Beasts was inseparable from his countless bloody battles.

But to be honest, the current Beasts Pirates cannot be ranked in the New World.

Not to mention the top sea overlords like Golden Lion and Whitebeard.

Even the second-tier forces like Silver Axe King, the number of pirates under their command and the size of their territories are far beyond the reach of the current Hundred Beasts.

There was no way, after all, the Beasts Pirates had only been established for just over a year, and those who had formed the Pirates immediately started fighting for territory and a share of the pie after Rocks' death.

The big pirates who have grown for four or five years now are really no match for them.

Why did Kaido not participate in the division of the New World?

Unfortunately, at that time, Kaido was still in a confused period after passively graduating from the Rocks Pirates and directly stepping into a strange new world.

He had no idea what to do, so he could only search the world for the navy and the world government to gain achievements.

Kaido was in this confused state until he met Jinx in Punk Hazard last year, and then he remembered that he should start a business.

So the Beasts Pirates finally entered the scene after Kaido's predecessors had already been completely defeated.

"So you are also one of the pirates defeated by Kaido?" asked Obery.

"No, I joined because I admired Boss Kaido's military prowess.

Also, you should call the blue-haired kid "Boss Kaido" or "Captain Kaido."

Dirk seems to have great respect for Kaido and is a little dissatisfied with Ouby calling Kaido by his name.

"Cut~"

Ober turned his head away and ignored Dirk.

"By the way, what is your relationship with Boss Kaido?"

Finally, Dirk couldn't resist his curiosity, so he stopped, squatted down, and leaned over to ask La in a low voice.

"The three of us sisters were accidentally stranded on a deserted island, and Captain Kaido happened to be passing by and invited us.

Captain Kaido and I agreed after some discussion." La explained with a smile.

"?"

Speaking casually, Kaido sounded like a kind-hearted uncle who happened to pass by and took in three poor little girls who were wandering around.

But to Dirk, these words didn't sound right.

[This, this is talking about Kaido Boss?]
In Dirk's impression, his captain would be lucky enough not to eat the children raw, let alone take them in.

The atmosphere became silent again for a moment.
