"They've gone crazy, crazy!"
"Even the Whitebeard Pirates are involved. All the famous and powerful super forces on the sea are participating."
"I think it's too much. Kevin just died, and to do this is too disgraceful."
"Exactly. They talk about protection, but it sounds good. Aren't they just after the Ope-Ope no Mi or other things from the Sun and Moon Pirates?"
"They're all pirates, why pretend to be good people?"
"Mr. Kevin is too pitiful. Not only will he be insulted by the Marines after his death, but so many people are also snatching his wealth."
Many Pirates were filled with righteous indignation.
Their insufficient strength prevented them from participating, making them despise those stronger individuals even more.
...
Currently, Kevin.
He was in Fish-Man Island.
Fish-Man Island, located ten thousand meters beneath the sea, lacked information from the surface, so the Fish-Men were still unaware of the news circulating on the surface that Kevin had died.
Therefore, when Kevin arrived at Fish-Man Island.
They naturally did not show the fear and shock of seeing someone resurrected from the dead.
There was only adoration upon seeing their idol.
Kevin and Tiger had teamed up to free all the mermaid slaves in the Holy Land, earning them the deep respect of Fish-Man Island.
Furthermore, upon arriving at Fish-Man Island,
He casually helped resolve the Pirates who were causing trouble on Fish-Man Island.
Their respect deepened.
He was grandly invited to Ryugu Palace by Neptune, the King of Fish-Man Island.
He saw the kind Queen Otohime.
He also saw the Shirahoshi he had long awaited, a very young Shirahoshi.
"Boat, boat..."
Kevin led Shirahoshi to Tomorrow.
Shirahoshi, only three years old, was already not much smaller than Kevin in size; Shirahoshi's'small' referred to her age.
She still spoke in a childish voice.
"Shirahoshi, do you want to go to the great sea? There are bright stars there, and a beautiful moon."
"Stars, moon?"
Shirahoshi sucked her finger, her bright, pure eyes showing childlike joy: "Are they the stars and moon from the stories? Hehe.... I want to go, I want to go."
"It's Big Brother."
"Hehe?"
Kevin helplessly ruffled Shirahoshi's beautiful, soft hair.
She was too young.
Only three years old, an age of innocence and ignorance.
"Alright then, when you grow up, I'll take you out." She was too young, it was truly not suitable to take Shirahoshi away now.
"Liar."
Shirahoshi pouted and squatted in a corner, looking wronged.
Kevin: "..."
"Let's pinky promise, you're already my Pirate Crew member, and I'll come pick you up later." Kevin extended his finger.
He instantly coaxed Shirahoshi.
She happily made a pinky promise with Kevin.
Kevin constantly paid attention to the system.
"Provisional Unofficial Member: Mermaid Shirahoshi [Non-Ability User, Combat Power: 108.]"
The talent of merfolk.
It gave Shirahoshi some combat power even in her infancy.
But it was vastly different from what Kevin had imagined.
Shirahoshi was the Ancient Weapon Poseidon.
"Is it because she hasn't awakened yet?"
Fortunately.
Shirahoshi was already considered half a Pirate Crew member.
He just needed to wait for her to grow a bit more, and he could always monitor the changes in her combat power, ready to come back and take her away at any time.
Kevin played with Shirahoshi for a long time again.
He suddenly realized that soft, sweet toddlers were quite adorable too.
Later, Hancock bit her finger: "Kevin likes children after all."
Her eyes sparkled.
She understood.
They only stayed on Fish-Man Island for three days.
Tomorrow was preparing to leave.
"Mr. Kevin, I have an impolite request, could Fish-Man Island be sheltered under the Sun and Moon Pirates?" Shirahoshi's father, King Neptune, made his impolite request.
The location of Fish-Man Island.
It meant Pirates would pass by at any time.
Coupled with the value of mermaids, Fish-Man Island would forever suffer from the scourge of Pirates.
In the past, with Tiger present, the situation was slightly better.
Now that Tiger was dead.
Jinbe couldn't support the entire Fish-Man Island, nor could he make arriving Pirates fear them.
Fish-Man Island's situation was very bad.
From time to time, mermaids were captured.
"Wait for me for three months. After three months, I will personally raise the Sun and Moon Great Flag at the entrance of Fish-Man Island."
Raising the flag now would only expose their location, not only failing to protect Fish-Man Island but also bringing disaster to it.
But after three months, the situation would be different.
By then, Kevin believed that the prestige of the Sun and Moon Pirate Crew would definitely not be inferior to that of other Sea Emperors.
"Good!" King Neptune was overjoyed.
He held no resentment towards Kevin for secretly coaxing his daughter, Shirahoshi.
"Let's go!"
Kevin did not cause too much of a stir on Fish-Man Island.
Without many merfolk knowing, he left Fish-Man Island and headed for the New World.
"New World, it's said to be full of monsters, countless times more terrifying than the first half," said the women who had never been to the New World, their expressions a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
"Monsters? Now, those monsters in the New World should be worried that we've arrived," Shaki said with a laugh.
She looked forward to seeing Kevin, seeing the Captain, stepping on those monsters who were once in the same Pirate Crew but were now Sea Emperors.
"By the way, Captain, on the high seas right now, those monsters are going crazy to get your wealth. They all want to..."
Kevin asked, "Oh? Who are they, and what do they want?"
"Kaido of the Beasts announced that he wants Gion to voluntarily join the Beasts Pirates, and he also wants Gion to bring the Ope-Ope no Mi."
Kevin's expression turned cold.
He hadn't even started to fleece Kaido of the Beasts at the Beasts Pirates yet.
Now, Kaido of the Beasts was actually setting his sights on the Sun and Moon Pirate Crew.
"Then don't blame me for being even more impolite."
Shaki continued, "Big Mom also wants Gion, and at the same time warned Stussy to go to Totto Land herself to apologize and admit her mistakes, and to bring the Ope-Ope no Mi."
"Big Mom is even greedier."
Kevin made a note of Big Mom.
Greedier than Kaido of the Beasts.
He wondered if Big Mom had enough daughters.
"They're looking for death."
Gion and Belo Betty's expressions were grim.
"The Whitebeard Pirates publicly declared that they are willing to protect the Sun and Moon Pirates Remnants."
"Hahaha, even Whitebeard is involved." This was somewhat beyond Kevin's expectation.
And he was even more ambitious.
He wanted everything.
"The Whitebeard Pirates are useless. There's not much to gain from them, yet they're joining the fun." Kevin disdained the Whitebeard Pirates. While he didn't expect many strong female fighters, he at least expected a few.
However, in the entire Whitebeard Pirates, Kevin only remembered one female pirate with decent strength.
"But Whitebeard has a good reputation. The Strongest Man, I want him."
Kevin looked at Shaki.
"Keep going. Who else is involved?"
"Red-Haired Shanks also publicly declared that he would protect the Sun and Moon Pirates Remnants, specifically naming Makino, and warned the seas that anyone who dared to harm Makino would be an enemy of the Red Hair Pirates, to the death."
Kevin narrowed his eyes.
"That bastard Shanks still hasn't given up. It seems the last lesson wasn't enough."
