One Piece: My Monster Girls Have Become Beasts?

Chapter 183 Wang Zhi and John Submit, and the Unexpected Joy of the Sky Island is Revealed

In short, most of the pirates who dared to covet Brian were just underlings on the island. Most of them were not "official" members of the Rocks Pirates and were simply cannon fodder that Rocks casually picked up.

In the original story, after Lu Fei took off, there were several large fleets under Mo Xia. These pirates were somewhat similar, but in terms of status, they were actually not even as good as the members of these large fleets.

After this purge, they were horrified to discover that Brian's monster girl army had not weakened due to their leader's injury, but instead had become even more bloodthirsty and efficient due to Agni's rage and Boros's ruthlessness.

During this time, Brian even summoned Wang Zhi and Captain John.

These two high-ranking members of the Rocks Pirates were originally quite close to Silver Axe, but Silver Axe's miserable state made them realize the truth. They came with a large amount of precious treasure, adopting an extremely humble attitude to express their "friendliness" and "loyalty".

Brian sat in his high position, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain for the weak.

"Wang Zhi, John. I don't need your treasures; what I need is your loyalty and execution."

Brian's tone left no room for argument.

Wang Zhi and John exchanged a glance, then immediately knelt on one knee, cold sweat pouring down their faces. They knew that Brian was purging and incorporating them into his inner circle.

"Lord Beast, give us your orders! We will be loyal to you to the death!" Wang Zhi was the first to declare, his eyes filled with a fanatical will to survive.

"Very good." Brian nodded in satisfaction; this was the result he wanted.

Brian handed them a detailed security plan for the trade fair.

"Captain Rocks is about to host a trade fair, which will be attended by all the core members of Beehive Island. Your task is simple: to be responsible for security and maintaining order on the perimeter. I give you the authority to mobilize all the pirates on Beehive Island. But if any trouble arises, Wang Zhi, John, you know the consequences."

Wang Zhi and John received the plan as if it were a priceless treasure. This was not only a task, but also a symbol of Brian's incorporation of their forces. They gained power, but also bore heavy shackles.

"Rest assured, my lord! We will make this trade fair the safest event on Beehive Island!" the two said in unison, their voices filled with gratitude and excitement.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Brian's lips curled into a cruel smile.

Power is never distributed; it is seized step by step through bloodshed and intimidation.

By the thirteenth day of his recovery, Brian's injuries had healed by nearly 80%. He was not only able to move freely, but had even begun small-scale training in Haki and Devil Fruit abilities.

Locus summoned all core members and announced the details of the DevilFruit exchange.

Location: Central Plaza of Beehive Island, below the iconic fortress of the Rocks Pirates.

Attendees included: Rocks, Brian, Whitebeard, Big Mom, Golden Lion, Silver Axe (being carried), Wang Zhi, John, and other important cadres.

Core content: To exchange for a large number of Devil Fruits that the Rocks Pirates had seized during their years of conquering the world.

Throughout the discussion, all the cadres present maintained a calm expression, though a hint of surprise occasionally flashed in their eyes, while they also glanced at Brian from time to time.

As all the important figures know, this trade was proposed by Brian and reported to Captain Rocks. After review, Rocks finally decided to hold the trade.

One reason is that Brian has returned from serious injury and can use this trade fair to re-establish his authority. Although the monster girls' killing spree had already established his authority, ultimately it is necessary for him, as the core figure, to step forward and eliminate all public opinion.

Another reason is that Rocks is about to take action against the World Government, and he also wants to improve the strength of his crew as soon as possible. Even though most of them are not his core forces, it doesn't matter. As long as the pirates are stronger, things will be easier to handle later.

If one or two more lieutenant generals or even higher-ranking officers were to join, it would greatly enhance the subsequent battles.

As for the other cadres, especially the three senior cadres, they naturally had no other opinions on the situation; they also hoped that their subordinates' strength could be improved.

After the discussion, Brian returned to his private warship and, surrounded by the monster girl army, began to select the fruits he wanted to trade.

Inside the enormous ship's hold, there were piles of all sorts of strangely shaped Devil Fruits, most of which were stored in special boxes to keep them alive.

"Number One, bring out all the Paramecia-type Devil Fruits this time," Brian ordered.

The head maid obeyed, placing a series of strange and wonderful fruits before Brian. Some could turn a person into a "spring man," others into a "smoke man," and still others had peculiar effects but were of little use to Brian.

"My lord, are we really going to take all these fruits away?" The head maid asked with some reluctance; these were rare treasures.

"Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, and even some Logia-type Devil Fruits that aren't very useful, are just useless to me," Brian sneered.

His current power system is already quite complete, and he no longer needs to fill his power pool with Paramecia-type Devil Fruits. These fruits would only provide limited improvement to his combat power, but they would be extremely valuable to his executives like Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Shiki.

What he wanted was not a simple transaction, but to exchange these rare fruits for truly valuable resources, or simply to exchange them for their "favors" and "IOUs".

"Agni, take that elemental fruit you got from Skypiea with you. That fruit is enough to drive the Rocks Pirates completely mad." Brian's eyes were full of calculation.

Agni's eyes lit up instantly. She knew that once this fruit hit the market, the competition it would spark would be bloody and brutal.

This fruit is the knife that Brian used to tear apart the superficial peace of the Rocks Pirates!

This fruit was an unexpected bonus that Brian received from the group of lowly soldiers under his command during his final battle with the Roger Pirates on Skypiea; it was obtained by the ordinary monster girl.

While a battle raged in the center of the island, only this group of ordinary monster girls, who had never shown their faces, remained. They weren't simply waiting and watching the show.

"My lord, who do you intend to use it against?" Agni asked excitedly.

"No, it's not about dealing with anyone, but about seeing who truly understands them." Brian's lips curled into a playful smile. "See clearly whose greed outweighs their reason."

This exchange will no longer be a simple distribution of supplies, but rather a public challenge and reshuffling of the Rocks Pirates' internal power structure by Brian. Having returned severely injured, Brian not only aims to maintain his position but also to further expand his influence.

The Rocks Pirates' infighting and madness are about to begin.
