Chapter 2: Jello wins and tricks Yamato into training
"The domineering aura of the king is indeed a one-in-a-million talent in this ocean!"
"But now it can only serve as a deterrent to me."
Looking at the birds and beasts that were frightened by his aura, Jello couldn't help but sigh.
The system's sign-in reward was his ticket to becoming a world power, but it did not directly give him the means to cause substantial damage to the enemy and the attacking skills of "conqueror's aura wrapped around weapons" like the Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks.
With a loud "bang", the mountain wall not far away collapsed.
The rubble rolled over and Jello quickly turned around to avoid it.
"Oh? There was such a big commotion just now. I thought it was some big guy, but it looks like it's just a little kid."
"But he is quite tall, and has the demeanor of my youth!"
After Kaido looked Zero up and down, he placed the mace in his hand on the ground with a little disappointment.
He thought he would have a thrilling battle.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Because Kaido just punched through the mountain wall, Yamato, who was following behind Kaido, was caught in a lot of dust.
She was about to complain about her father's sudden action, but she glanced forward inadvertently, and her eyes widened in shock.
"Jero? How did you suddenly grow so tall!?"
"I remember you were as tall as me yesterday!"
The little girl's voice sounded pitiful and she looked a little aggrieved, as if she had been deceived by a bad guy.
"I don't know either. Maybe it's a talent."
Jello spread his hands and said in a Versailles manner.
He couldn't tell the truth that his ordinary body had undergone such changes in order to withstand Yamato's double strength.
"Yamato, do you know this brat?"
Kaido asked in surprise, looking at Zero again.
"Yes, I found Jello by the rocks on the seashore some time ago."
"He's obviously not that tall!"
Yamato is still bothered by Zero's height. His strong competitive spirit makes him feel that Zero is full of secrets, and he is eager to explore them.
"A special race? And they have the potential of Conqueror Haki."
After hearing from Yamato about Zero's sudden growth, Kaido's opinion of Zero became even higher.
The Beasts Pirates are in need of manpower right now, so they must recruit guys like this while they are still young and strong!
"Jero, are you interested in joining the Beasts Pirates and following me to turn the world upside down?"
Kaido quickly extended his right hand to Zero and invited him to join the Beasts Pirates.
"I couldn't ask for more, Mr. Kaido!"
Zero quickly agreed and stood in front of Kaido with neither arrogance nor servility.
After all, he will soon bring the source of all evil, Kozuki Momonosuke, to justice, and now he also needs the platform of the Beasts Pirates.
With the potential to become a top-notch warrior, it would be most interesting to join the Beasts Pirates.
Drink the strongest liquor, sleep with the prettiest girls, be the freest person in the world, and let strength speak for everything.
Now I am weaker than Kaido, so I can only obey him. Later...hehehe.
"Well, Zero, let me tell you, the position of vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates is still vacant!"
Kaido did not hide his happiness and admiration for Zero in his words.
"Mr. Kaido, I would rather take care of you in your old age than take on the position of vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates!"
Zero didn't buy into the promise Kaido made for him at all. When he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Yamato, who looked harmless.
"This little brat wants it all!"
Kaido is not a fool, of course he can understand what Zero meant by what he said.
No wonder he joined the Beasts Pirates so readily, it turns out he was attracted by his position and his daughter Yamato!
He looked Jello's figure and appearance up and down again, like a mother-in-law looking at a rich son-in-law, the more she looks, the more satisfied she is.
"Actually....there's no need to raise Yamato as a son forever."
With this thought in mind, Kaido turned and left.
Only Zero and Yamato were left on the field.
...............
"Jero, we agreed to grow taller together, why are you......"
Laozi left, and Yamato did not chase him. Instead, he clenched his fists and came to Zero.
Jump up and hit Jello's knee...
Apparently, Yamato was more concerned about the fact that Zero was now taller than him.
"What are you doing!"
"If you hit your knee, do you need to jump up?"
While feeling pain, Jello wondered if Yamato was sick.
"It's okay if you don't hit my knees anymore."
"You big bad guy, I'll punch you in the chest with my little fist!"
The white-haired loli made a threatening gesture towards Jello.
In response to Yamato's provocation, Zero simply raised his right hand gently.
There was a slight "pop" sound.
Yamato, who was being held down, looked up subconsciously.
Jello's fatherly gaze gave Yamato goosebumps all over his body.
"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?"
"You big bad guy, tell me why you suddenly became so tall!"
Looking at Yamato's fierce and ferocious appearance, Jello truly experienced the joy of the training system.
"Yamato, listen up!"
"People have different physiques, so height is something you can't force!"
"One of the pieces of evidence that proves our physiques are different is that I have Kun Kun and you don't."
Jello half leaned over, grinned, showing his white teeth, and spoke to him.
Just on this point, Jello wins!
"Kun Kun? What is that?" Yamato looked into Jello's eyes anxiously.
Jello's words touched upon Yamato's blind spot in knowledge, and Loli's desire for knowledge was aroused.
"I have a weapon that will resist when I am oppressed. The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. I will never retreat until I am exhausted."
"The best proof of a real man!"
Jello smiled confidently.
"Yamato doesn't believe Zero's nonsense. How could someone be born with such a weapon?"
"Unless Jello can show it to me."
"It would be best if you could lend it to Yamato."
Yamato had a small smile on his face and rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
At this moment, all she could think about was growing as fast as Jello.
"........."
Jello was speechless and choked, standing there in a daze.
This ignorant little female devil wants everything.
If Jello didn't know that Yamato was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, he would have suspected that all this was a trap set by high-end hunters.
"Huh? Jello doesn't want to give it?"
Yamato's slender brows furrowed as he looked up at Zero anxiously.
Because of anger, his cheeks are bulging like a puffer fish, making people want to poke them.
"I really can't give you this."
Jello curled his lips and said helplessly.
"You are so stingy! Don't forget that I was the one who bandaged your wound from hitting the reef!"
"Then can you show it to me?"
The naughty boy will not give up until he achieves his goal. Yamato at this time is no exception. He bargains with Zero.
"no!"
Jello still refused.
"Ah! Yamato will be really angry soon, and it will be impossible to comfort him!"
Yamato pouted and threatened Jello in a coquettish manner.
"Yamato, I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet!"
"Listen to me!"
"As long as you can do 200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, 200 squats, and run 20km around Onigashima every day!"
"Your height will change noticeably!"
Seeing that Yamato was so persistent, Jello took advantage of the situation and made up an excuse.
"Really?! Don't lie to me."
Yamato put his hands on his hips and looked at Jello questioningly.
"More precious than pearls!"
Jello gently rubbed Yamato's head, just like he used to rub the little cat at home.
For some reason, a beautiful blush appeared on the loli's fair face.
"Then why don't you just stop growing taller and wait for me?!"
Looking at Zero's innocent smile, Yamato stretched out his little finger and made a request.
"I really can't do anything about you. Whether you agree or not depends on your performance."
Jello also stretched out his little finger and hooked it together.
