Chapter 38 “Heavenly Yaksha” Went Bankrupt, An Unusually Rich Harvest

Onigashima, Top Floor.

Two figures, one large and one small, clashed repeatedly, their movements swift and powerful.

A series of explosions echoed across Onigashima.

"Very good! At this rate, you'll completely master my Thunder Bagua in a few days!" Kaido roared with approval.

Yamato wiped the sweat from his brow. Though panting and struggling to stay on his feet, his eyes blazed with determination.

"It's not enough. This level isn't enough. Use your full strength, Kaido!"

"You want me to go all out? Don't get yourself killed..."

"Thunder Bagua!"

The ground shook violently.

Shockwaves from the constant clash of their massive maces rippled out for thousands of meters.

The wind howled, and massive waves surged on the sea below.

In the distance, countless members of the Beasts Pirates watched the battle unfold.

The noise from the fight was so intense that everyone had to retreat far away to avoid being caught in the destruction.

King, Queen, and others couldn't help but marvel at the scene.

"I didn't expect the young master to be so strong, able to hold his own against Boss Kaido."

"After all, she's Kaido's daughter. She inherited that monstrous potential..."

"With Boss Kaido's personal training, she's reached this level in just one month. Her talent is truly terrifying."

"It won't be long before the Beasts Pirates gain another incredible powerhouse."

The onlookers murmured among themselves, full of confidence in the future.

…

"You're still far from defeating me!" Kaido declared, looking at Yamato lying on the ground nearby, his expression one of satisfaction.

There was no one else in the entire ocean who could fight him to a standstill at her age!

Worthy of being his descendant.

Even if he failed in his quest for world domination, the Beasts Pirates would still be a force to be reckoned with on the seas!

Bruh-buh-bruh—

The sound of a Den Den Mushi suddenly rang out.

"Boss Kaido."

"Garros? It's been almost a month. How did things go?"

"All the goods have been sold for two billion Berries. Additionally, I've secured a long-term contract with the Donquixote family on behalf of the Beasts Pirates."

Kaido nodded in satisfaction.

This deal not only resolved their immediate financial crisis but also established a long-term cooperative relationship.

"Really? Hahaha! Leaving this matter to you was indeed the right choice."

Carlos's voice continued through the Den Den Mushi.

"Jack and the others are already on their way back with the funds."

"And you?"

"There's something very important I need to handle, something crucial to the future of the Beasts Pirates, so I'll be staying out for a while."

Kaido's interest was piqued, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Something crucial to the future? What is it exactly?"

"Artificial Devil Fruits."

These six words sent shockwaves through Kaido's heart, his breathing growing heavier.

Artificial Devil Fruits?

Could this mean that the dream of creating an army of Zoan ability users could finally come true? The very thought made his voice rise with excitement.

"Really! Is it true? Can Devil Fruits really be mass-produced?"

"There's a scientist named Caesar. He used to work with Queen in a research group called MADS."

"Although he's currently working for the World Government, he's looking to make some extra money on the side."

"I used part of the funds to finance his research. While it's still in the experimental stage, I see the potential for artificial Devil Fruits."

"Hmm..."

"Garros, I knew you were the right person for the job!" Kaido laughed wildly, full of pride.

At the beginning, he had ignored everyone's objections, even risking conflict with Big Mom's pirates to bring Garros onboard.

Looking at things now, it was undoubtedly a wise decision.

"Keep a close eye on things over there and let me know if there are any new developments."

"Boss Kaido, to prevent any accidents, I suggest sending someone to keep an eye on Jack."

Kaido sneered.

"I want to see who dares to challenge the Beasts Pirates."

"Don't worry, I'll send King to deal with it."

Not far away, the exhausted Yamato suddenly leaped up from the ground, finding strength from somewhere deep within.

"I'm going too! Kaido, no matter what you say this time, I must go to sea!"

"You..."

"It doesn't matter. After all, it's just an escort mission. With your current strength, there won't be any surprises."

…

Dressrosa, Royal Palace.

"Sir Garros, these are two ancient Zoan Fruits."

Torrepol respectfully presented a beautifully crafted box.

"I understand. You may leave."

Carlos waved his hand dismissively and opened the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia he held.

"The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pachycephalosaurus, and the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Spinosaurus? Not bad."

Based on the patterns, these were the Devil Fruits that Ulti and Page One consumed in the original story.

Unexpectedly, fate had delivered them into his hands.

Carlos had been in Dressrosa for nearly a month.

Counting the two before him, he had acquired a total of twenty Zoan Devil Fruits, each at the price of 100 million Berries.

Naturally, Doflamingo was furious but dared not voice his anger.

Carlos had to admit that Doflamingo was quite capable.

They had sent one billion Berries in compensation, spent seven billion on seastone weapons, and scoured the world for Devil Fruits at a loss.

The Donquixote family had nearly been driven to bankruptcy this time.

After negotiations, Doflamingo pulled every string he could.

Underworld organizations, allied countries, non-aligned nations, pirate crews, and even the Revolutionary Army—all had been contacted to declare their alliance with the Beasts Pirates, their influence growing day by day.

All seastone weapons were successfully resold.

Though he lost a considerable amount on this deal, fortunately, the family's other businesses were thriving, and they managed to secure a loan from the Golden Emperor, Tezzolo.

This was just enough to maintain their daily operations.

"Not only did you raise a huge sum for the Beasts Pirates, but you also collected so many Devil Fruits for them."

"Aren't you worried that their strength will grow too much, making it harder for you to complete your mission?"

Sitting on the sofa opposite Carlos was a woman with curly blond hair. She crossed her legs gracefully, casting him an intrigued look.

Carlos pulled himself out of his thoughts and couldn't help but smile.

"Jack has returned with two billion Berries. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll meet with an 'accident' on the way."

"As for these Devil Fruits... who said I'm handing them over to Kaido?"

"Timing-wise, it's about time to start the next phase of the plan."

Carlos pulled a document from a drawer and handed it to her.

"What's this?"

"This is the sailing route for Jack's fleet and a report on Caesar's gigantification experiments."

"What are you planning?"

Carlos grinned.

"Stussy, I hear you have a good relationship with Charlotte Linlin."

"Please let her know that Garros is returning to Wano with two billion Berries worth of treasure and the experimental report on human gigantification."
