"Get out of my way!!"
A furious voice echoed among the Flying Six.
Pejiwan, with his three white eyes and a white and green horned hat, walked over with his sister, Ulti. The surrounding Gifters and Shinuchi, who had encircled Reno, shrank back in fear, making way for the two.
Though they were also Shinuchi, they were part of the Flying Six, a group not to be trifled with.
As they approached Reno, their stern expressions shifted to fawning smiles.
"Lord Reno, please give these two Tiger-Class Monster Cells to us siblings."
Ulti, wearing a light pink floral mask, rubbed her hands eagerly.
Among the Flying Six, she and her brother Pejiwan were the weakest, often mocked by the others.
Although the Three Calamities and other members of the Flying Six would eventually consume monster cells to enhance their powers, the siblings were impatient to experience the surge in strength.
"Lord Kaido, please allow Lord Reno to give us these monster cells," Pejiwan pleaded with Kaido.
"Wohohohoho~" Kaido laughed heartily, waving his hand. "The Tiger-Class Monster Cells were developed by Reno. The decision is his."
Ulti and Pejiwan looked at Reno with hopeful eyes, their sincerity almost palpable.
"If you want them, they're yours."
Reno, indifferent, handed the Tiger-Class Monster Cells to the siblings.
Since even an ordinary Gifter could withstand the side effects of the Tiger-Class Monster Cells, the stronger Ulti siblings would have no problem.
Ulti and Pejiwan, treating the cells like treasures, carefully took them and exchanged a glance before simultaneously placing the cells into their mouths.
"The taste isn't bad~" Pejiwan licked his lips, savoring the flavor.
But as soon as he spoke, his expression changed dramatically, and he let out a series of roars from the pain coursing through his body.
Ulti experienced the same agony.
They howled in pain, their faces contorted as their bodies swelled visibly, just like the previous Gifter.
The horns on their heads grew longer and more menacing.
However, compared to the earlier transformation, their reaction was much more subdued. As Zoan-type Ancient Devil Fruit users, their bodies were far more resilient than those who had consumed artificial Devil Fruits.
After two minutes, their movements gradually calmed, eventually settling into stillness.
When they stood up again, the other members of the Flying Six and the Three Calamities took notice.
Their heights had increased from around 170 cm to three meters, their horns sharper, and their aura more ferocious.
"Little Pei, how do you feel?!"
With the pain gone, Ulti immediately checked on Pejiwan.
Pejiwan clenched his fists, feeling the surge of power, and exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, I feel full of strength now."
"This is the feeling!!!"
Suddenly, Pejiwan let out a long howl, venting all the grievances and mockery he had endured due to his previous lack of strength.
A powerful aura erupted from him, enveloping the entire hall, shocking everyone present.
Ulti looked at Pejiwan with a doting expression, then turned her attention inward to feel the changes within her body.
Kaido was delighted, grinning widely. "Wohohohoho~ Not bad, very good."
"Do you want to pick an opponent to test your current strength?!"
"Jack, I want to challenge you!!!"
As soon as Kaido finished speaking, Pejiwan suddenly turned his gaze to Jack the Drought, one of the Three Calamities.
Jack, taken aback, slowly darkened his expression. Was he being seen as an easy target?
"Pejiwan, I think you're looking for—"
"Lord Kaido~"
"Lord Kaido~"
Just as Jack was about to lose his temper, a small underling rushed into the hall, looking extremely anxious.
"What happened?!" Kaido, his mood disrupted, asked irritably.
"Lord Kaido, our trade ship was intercepted by Vice Admirals Dalmatia and Onigumo on its return. Several Shinuchi are engaged in a fierce battle with them, and the situation is dire."
The underling succinctly conveyed the critical points.
"Those damn Marines!!!" Kaido roared in anger, his eyes wide with fury.
He hadn't even gone looking for trouble with the Marines, yet they dared to provoke him.
"Lord Kaido, let us handle this!" Ulti, her strength greatly increased, volunteered.
Pejiwan, understanding her intent, quickly added, "Lord Kaido, I promise to take down those bastards!!"
"Alright, you two go. Don't disappoint me." Kaido nodded, agreeing to their request.
He also wanted to use this battle to test the siblings' current strength.
The two immediately set off.
....
**BOOM**
**BOOM-**
"Kill all these bastards for me!!"
"Charge, take them down!!"
Under the powerful assault of Dalmatia and Onigumo, the Beasts Pirates were retreating, suffering heavy losses.
Amidst the cannon fire, members of the Beasts Pirates fell into pools of blood, their insides spilling out, the air thick with a nauseating stench.
"We're no match for these guys. When are reinforcements coming?!"
A pale-faced Shinuchi glared at the approaching duo, his killing intent rising.
By now, several Shinuchi had died, and few Gifters remained. If reinforcements didn't arrive soon, they would all be wiped out.
On the deck, Dalmatia in his human-beast form and Onigumo, wielding eight famous swords with Life Return, looked at the struggling pirates with mocking smiles.
"You scum of the sea don't deserve to live!!"
"Pay the price for your choices!!!"
"Shave!!"
