"Grandpa A-Zi?" Ye Jia asked, puzzled.
"I was washed ashore on this island. All my memories of the past are lost... When humans were chasing me, Grandpa A-Zi secretly took me in." Kars's eyes showed a hint of recollection.
"Grandpa A-Zi was the only person on the island who was kind to me. He was exceptionally benevolent, and that's why I haven't particularly hated humans until now... Perhaps it was his guidance that made me understand many truths."
"However, just two years ago, Don Krieg led his pirate crew in a great rampage on the island. Grandpa A-Zi died at the hands of the pirates trying to protect his family...
I wanted to avenge Grandpa A-Zi, but I knew my strength wasn't enough. I couldn't possibly be Don Krieg's opponent, so I've been hiding and enduring, hoping that one day I could become strong and kill that group of pirates who harmed Grandpa A-Zi."
"But ever since Don Krieg left two years ago, I've only heard that he's rampaging on other islands. He hasn't been back to this place... And my strength can't improve much here,
so I'm determined to leave and go to a place where strong people gather, to make myself even stronger... When I return, that will be the time for the Don Krieg Pirate Crew's demise!"
"So you came looking for me?" Ye Jia asked curiously, "Your Grandpa A-Zi was killed by pirates, and you want to follow a pirate. That seems a bit contradictory."
"At first, I indeed strongly resisted pirates. It wasn't until later that I met someone from the 'Whitebeard Pirates.' His name was... right, he was called Ace!" Kars recalled. Ace! Ye Jia's eyes lit up.
But at this point, Ace was about to meet Blackbeard on Banaro Island, wasn't he? As the fuse for the Summit War, it was probably about to explode very soon.
"Ace told me that not all pirates are cruel and evil. Just as there are good and bad among humans, he told me to try to trust pirates."
Kars said, "The reason I chose you that day was because you stood up for your woman. I thought you must also be a good pirate like Ace... And the facts proved me right."
Your woman... Silk Clover heard this, her face flushed red, and she was exceptionally happy in her heart.
"Hmph!" Kalifa, who was nearby, heard Kars's words. Her cute little face immediately puffed up, looking unconvinced. "So that's how it is.
In that case, we're quite fated, haha!" Ye Jia didn't expect things to be so coincidental. He casually dealt with two pirates with bounties over 100 million, and unexpectedly became Kars's benefactor.
Kars also happened to find him by chance, and now he had become a member of the Death God Pirate Crew.
From this, it seems to perfectly fit the saying, "No coincidence, no story."
"Come, our Death God Pirate Crew. Every new companion will receive a welcome gift from me. This is your welcome gift, the 'Mero Mero no Mi'."
Ye Jia took out the Mero Mero no Mi. It had a black spiral pattern, looked like a cannonball, and more like a work of art.
"Devil Fruit?" Kars's eyes lit up. "Ace said he was a Devil Fruit user, but after eating a Devil Fruit, you'll become an early bird... but since you're giving it, I'll take it." As if to thank Ye Jia for avenging Grandpa A-Zi,
Kars took the Mero Mero no Mi and, without another word, immediately began to eat it in large bites. The taste was very strange, but Kars didn't even frown.
After he finished eating it all, his body, uncontrolled, suddenly grew much larger, transforming from a frail figure of just over a meter tall into a giant four to five meters tall!
"Wow, Kars is so cute when he's bigger!" Gyarame's eyes twinkled.
"The Mero Mero no Mi can freely increase or decrease the size of one's body by a hundredfold. It can also increase or decrease the size of objects it touches, and even amplify speed and strength,"
Ye Jia said with a smile. "When you use a cannon after this, every cannonball you fire can instantly become a hundred times larger... Just thinking about that power, you know how strong it is."
Kars's eyes constantly revealed expressions of surprise and delight as he listened.
It seems my choice this time was truly right! He just joined, and he already got such a powerful Devil Fruit. And the captain's strength is astonishingly strong... He easily killed two powerful pirates, Don Krieg and Gin.
"Thank you!" All his words finally condensed into one sentence. Kars said sincerely.
"No need for thanks, let's go. It's getting late. We should set sail!" "And through today's incident, I finally understand that our Death God Pirate Crew has been targeted for a long time... It seems very necessary to deal with this entanglement!"
The Clown issued a mission bounty for himself underground, wanting his own head.
As the Death God and the captain of the Death God Pirate Crew, how could Ye Jia allow the other party to manipulate him? If you dare to attack the Death God Pirate Crew, then don't blame me for sending you to hell!
Clown... Just you wait!
...
Marine Headquarters. "Bang!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's desk was slammed with a deafening noise. A gaunt man wearing a bubble helmet, dressed in Celestial Dragon attire, and with an eight-character mustache, stared at Sengoku the Buddha.
He roared angrily, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, it's been ten days! My son was killed for ten whole days! And your Marine Headquarters still doesn't have a single clue... Do you still call yourselves Marines?!"
"Marines should prioritize Celestial Dragons above all else, putting their lives on the line! I don't want your lives, you lot, but you should at least bring the killer of Osgard before me and give me an explanation!"
"Saint Yarvis, please calm down..."
Sengoku the Buddha furrowed his brow, his heart filled with displeasure, but he couldn't show it before the Celestial Dragon. He was helpless. The Marines themselves were just a "weapon" of the World Government, and the World Government served the Celestial Dragons.
Now that the Celestial Dragon was dead at sea, with no corpse left behind, the Marines searched for ten days, capturing countless pirates, yet failed to find the real culprit. Sengoku the Buddha, known as a "tactician," was also utterly helpless.
