"Shoot, shoot these monkeys!"
The pirates raised their guns and quickly fired back at Kaizen and the middle-aged man.
Kaizen dodged, his body as light as a willow leaf, easily avoiding the first round of attacks. Before the enemy's second wave arrived, he picked up stones from the ground and threw them casually.
The pirates fell to the ground amidst screams.
"Everyone get out of the way, let me handle this guy!" Perospero realized Kaizen had extraordinary skills and did not dare to underestimate him.
He waved his candy cane and summoned a sea of candy.
"Go! Candy Maiden, entangle that lively monkey for me!"
Kaizen looked at the surging sea of candy and smiled slightly, familiar with this trick.
He suddenly appeared next to Perospero, reaching out and grabbing his neck.
"To deal with you, an auxiliary type, the best way is close combat."
"Perospero-nii!" Seeing their leader restrained, the remaining pirates shouted in despair.
"Damn it, you embarrassed me in front of the kids, go to hell!" Perospero's eyes widened as he shouted, "Candy Bomb!"
There was a sticky explosion and the sound of soft, waxy bullets.
Countless candy pieces exploded and scattered like bullets, leaving the area a mess.
After the sweet, pink smoke cleared, Kaizen was seen escaping unscathed, though covered in sticky candy.
"What an unforgettable day!" Kaizen shook off the candy, never expecting to be attacked by candy cannonballs.
"Who... who are you?" Perospero gasped in shock at Kaizen's unharmed state.
"If you want to know where I came from, let him answer you!"
With that, Kaizen brought out Enel.
Enel was in his grasp, holding an inexplicable fruit and eating it happily.
"Yo! My name is Enel, Enel from Skypiea!"
Enel raised his hand and greeted everyone, but Perospero noticed the fruit Enel held and found it familiar.
"Hey! I think I've seen that somewhere. It looks like the Goro Goro no Mi..."
As soon as the words "Goro Goro no Mi" were spoken, Perospero shuddered and hurriedly checked his pocket. It should have been full, but now it was empty.
"Ah! This brat ate my Goro Goro no Mi!"
Perospero held his head and shouted in shock.
"It must have blown out when I launched the candy bomb. Damn it, give me back the Goro Goro no Mi!"
Perospero rushed forward, crying.
But he was kicked away by Kaizen, who coldly joked, "Looks like you've lost both your face and your troops!"
"How dare you steal the Devil Fruit from the Big Mom Pirates!"
Perospero lay on the ground, gritting his teeth in hatred.
Since the God Valley Incident ten years ago, the Rocks Pirates disbanded, and many crew members formed their own famous pirate crews.
Among them are the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates actively ruling the seas.
Since the disbandment of the Roger Pirates and the arrest of Golden Lion, these three pirate crews have become the undisputed overlords of the New World.
The most notable is the Big Mom Pirates, as she is the only female among these overlords, and all her crew are her children, absolutely loyal to her.
As a woman, carving out her own domain in a male-dominated ocean and firmly consolidating it is admirable.
"The dignified Big Mom Pirates actually came to this unknown island to bully unarmed residents. If word spread, it would be laughable."
As he spoke, Kaizen covered his mouth and laughed, "Hahahaha! No, my teeth will fall out from laughing."
Even more ridiculous was Perospero being beaten by an unknown youth, looking as embarrassed as a dog.
"Big Brother! This kid is the pirate boy who challenged the three Vice Admirals and Zephyr of Marineford before."
At this time, a pirate handed the newspaper to Perospero.
"What! So it's him, no wonder he's not afraid of the Big Mom Pirates. After all, he's the man who dared to challenge Marineford's most powerful force alone. Damn it, we really picked the wrong fight." Perospero muttered.
"Brother, what should we do now?" the pirate leader asked, confused.
"Retreat!" Perospero said coldly and unwillingly.
"Retreat?" the pirate confirmed.
In the New World, for a crew like the Big Mom Pirates, face and dignity are crucial. Retreating now would be a shameful incident.
"Tch! Face is worthless in life and death! If Mama weren't so obsessed with face, she would have surpassed Whitebeard!"
Perospero's cunning mind was at work. He believed a man should be flexible, not blindly sticking to certain principles.
"Listen, we're not retreating; it's a strategic evasion to avoid unnecessary casualties. It's a great and wise choice. Do you understand?"
Perospero said solemnly to the pirates beside him.
The pirates nodded in understanding.
Before leaving, Perospero looked at Kaizen and pretended to be friendly.
"You're welcome to visit the New World when you have time. That's where people like you belong. Also, don't say you have issues with the Big Mom Pirates, or you won't make friends."
They were clearly fleeing, yet still spoke provocatively. Such is the strength of the New World Pirates.
"This stuff is really annoying." Kaizen didn't reply, focused on dealing with the sticky candy on his body.
"Brother, that kid seems to ignore you!" a pirate reminded Perospero.
"Huh! That's why he's afraid of me." Perospero found no embarrassment, but it still covered his face as he boarded the ship, the wooden planks creaking underfoot.
As soon as he got on the boat, he warned his men: "Listen carefully. No one is allowed to spread today's events, or I'll turn him into a candy statue. Do you hear me?"
"Yes!" The group of pirates agreed fearfully.
