Inside the Raikougo’s cabin.
Kain led a group of high-ranking cadres in.
“Oh, Kain Landeau, you’re so badly injured!”
Seeing Kain covered in blood, Princess Mansherry, who was waiting there, cried out in alarm.
She didn’t even notice several fierce-looking, burly strangers suddenly appearing in the cabin.
“Yes, I’ll have to trouble you, Princess Mansherry.” Kain smiled gently.
“Leave it to me! I’ll heal you.”
Princess Mansherry nimbly jumped onto Kain’s head.
“Healing Tears.”
Princess Mansherry closed her eyes and clasped her hands together. Crystal clear tears trickled from the corners of her eyes, one after another, dripping onto Kain.
A warm current flowed through his body with the tears, as if his entire being was immersed in a hot spring.
Kain groaned in comfort.
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, his wounds healed at a visible speed.
Before long, all of Kain’s wounds disappeared.
“Thank you so much. I feel completely recovered!”
Kain carefully placed the little princess onto the table, stood up, and stretched lazily, feeling no discomfort whatsoever.
The power of the Healing Berry was just that strong, defying all logic.
“It’s good to be able to help Kain Landeau.” Princess Mansherry smiled shyly, her small face flushed.
“Woah, that’s amazing, healed in an instant.”
Yamato seemed to have discovered a new continent. She curiously leaned over the table, bending down so her magnified face was almost touching Princess Mansherry, her eyes wide as she scrutinized the little person from all angles.
“Waaah! So scary!”
Princess Mansherry shrieked in fright and swiftly hid behind Leo, only peeking out half of her small head.
“Hey! Yamato!”
Kain helplessly reached out and gently pushed away Yamato’s overly enthusiastic head. “Don’t scare Princess Mansherry; she’s timid.”
“Hehe, my bad!”
Yamato straightened up and cooperatively showed a silly smile, like a docile Samoyed.
“Don’t worry, Yamato is a good person.” Kain turned to Princess Mansherry to explain.
“Phew~ That’s good.” Princess Mansherry patted her chest, relieved.
“Please heal the others as well.” Kain pointed to King and the others behind him, requesting.
“No problem!” Princess Mansherry puffed out her chest again and agreed without hesitation.
In less than an hour, the several cadres in the cabin had all recovered their health.
King silently witnessed the miraculous healing process throughout. He quickly realized Princess Mansherry’s extraordinary nature.
This was an ability capable of changing the outcome of a war.
He immediately ordered: “Princess Mansherry’s existence is the Beasts’ highest secret. No one is to leak it!”
“Yes!” The cadres responded in unison.
Such a powerful strategic Berry should naturally be kept secret for as long as possible.
After the other cadres left, King said, “I agree. From now on, the Tontatta Tribe will be under your and Yamato’s direct management.”
He hadn’t expected that Kain, just by going on an errand, would find such an incredible ability user from Dressrosa.
Not only Princess Mansherry, but the woman named Violet outside also possessed a strategic Berry ability.
When Kaido recruited him back then, he really did recruit the right person.
After speaking, King turned and left. As the Beasts Pirates’ First Mate, he still had a mountain of things waiting for him to resolve.
The war was won, but the aftermath was far from over.
Onigashima.
The fleet returning victorious from the expedition received a fervent welcome from the pirates who had remained behind, a tumultuous roar like mountains and seas.
It was a scene of gongs and drums resounding, firecrackers popping, and a sea of people!
Banquet Hall.
Kaido’s smile hadn’t faded since Kain first saw him.
“Worororororo, that old hag Linlin is finally going to be a step below me!”
His joyous expression made Kain even wonder if the purpose of Kaido starting this war was simply to one-up his old friend.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, it was time for rewards and commendations.
“I announce that, starting today, six positions will be established above the Headliners, named the Flying Six.”
Kaido stood up and loudly called out names: “Jack, Who’s-Who, Sasaki, Black Maria, Ulti, Page One!”
The six responded and stepped forward.
“You! Are my first generation Flying Six!”
Kaido directly announced the chosen individuals, but before they could even smile, his cold words followed closely: “But remember, my pirate crew doesn’t keep deadbeats! Just like the All-Star rules, as long as someone can defeat you, they can immediately take your place.”
Survival of the fittest was the iron rule of the Beasts.
Upon hearing this, the previously quiet banquet hall instantly erupted into fervent roars.
Countless ambitious gazes, like hungry wolves, fixed intently on the six newly appointed Flying Six.
The air was thick with overt challenges.
Jack and the others showed no weakness, responding: “If they can do it, then let them come.”
“Worororororo.”
Kaido burst into even heartier laughter, taking a deep gulp of sake: “These are my good subordinates.”
The next day, Kain returned to the Flower Capital’s General Castle.
During his days away, quite a few official duties had piled up on his desk.
Although Fukurokuju helped handle some, there were still matters he couldn’t decide on.
After Kain finished processing them, he introduced a man who had come with him to Fukurokuju: “This is King Riku Dold III. From today onwards, he will assist me in handling the daily political affairs of Wano Country. You will now specifically manage the Omnyoban and the ninja corps.”
That’s right, the job Kain gave King Riku was that of the Prime Minister of Wano Country.
Fukurokuju was loyal, but power still needed to be distributed.
It just so happened that King Riku, with his rich management experience, had come to join them, so naturally, it was a resource not to be wasted.
Since the Dressrosa Kingdom was well-governed under King Riku, Wano Country would surely be no challenge.
“Hello, Mr. Fukurokuju.” King Riku greeted him kindly.
He hadn’t expected that he had just lost his position as king, and in the blink of an eye, he was performing the duties of a king in another country.
“I hope we can cooperate well.” Fukurokuju showed no dissatisfaction, and after greeting, began to hand over political affairs.
Just as King Riku was familiarizing himself with Wano Country’s political matters, a lively figure burst in.
“Kain, look, the newspaper reported on us!”
Yamato waved the newspaper in her hand, her excited voice carrying from the hallway outside the door.
Kain took it and looked: “World Economy News?”
Is Morgans that fast?
It had only been a few days since the war ended.
The newspaper’s front-page headline clearly read: “The New World Hegemony Battle Between the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, Concluded!”
Kain’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
That exaggerated?
It was merely an intense conflict between the two sides’ cadre-level members, and under Morgans’ pen, it was directly elevated to a battle for New World hegemony?
Truly worthy of a journalism major.
Kain continued to browse downwards, his eyes widening as he read, because Morgans’ report of the entire war process was surprisingly close to the truth, at most using slightly exaggerated wording.
There were even several clear battlefield photos on it.
How did Morgans manage that!
