Chapter 37: The Return

"My name is Speke · Natsuki, I am eight years old this year, and my dream is to become a strong person like Lily's sister and be able to go to various places." Natsuhime stood on a wooden barrel and introduced herself.

"This TM is eight years old!" Looking at Xia Ji's height of more than one meter and six points, a small sailor instantly burst out with foul language.

"Hahaha, Anger, you're not as tall as an eight-year-old."

"Big Brother Kaido brought back a Quinn, and Big Sister Lily brought back Little Sister Xia Ji, our beasts are growing again!"

"Hurry up, do you have any talent to show."

The crew all saw the scene of Xia Ji with a group of poisonous scorpions, and immediately began to coax, there must be a reason why they can be waited so long by Sister Lily.

"I don't have any talent, but I know this." Xia Ji thought about it, otherwise she would smash her fist and turn directly into a giant scorpion.

"Devil Fruit Ability!"

"It's still an animal insect, no wonder Sister Lily is waiting there."

"Hey! Feed! Where did Pierre go! Doesn't he have a knack for insects? Look at what kind of fruit it is. "

"Isn't it obvious at a glance that it's a poisonous scorpion?"

"Nonsense, let you go, there are many kinds of poisonous scorpions, not to mention that Xia Ji has become too big a scorpion, I have an idea." The leader of the battle team kicked on the little brother's ass and said, and at the same time said to Xia Ji that he would change back after a while, Xia Ji had no opinion, and when he was with Zizi and them before, Xia Ji almost remained in the form of a beast.

After a while, the younger brother came over with a middle-aged man wearing a white coat and round-framed glasses, this person was the part-time ship doctor on the ship, Pierre, who was originally an entomologist, but because he provoked someone and was arrested, he was found and saved by Kaido, who was bored and wandering around, so he joined the Hundred Beast Pirates, and some of the governance rules in the pirates were also formulated by him for Lily, and he had a certain status on the ship.

"Pierre, come and see, what kind of scorpion is Xia Ji's beast form? I've seen people with normal insect fruit abilities, and the beast form shouldn't be so big. "The leader of the battle team is 39 years old this year, and he can be regarded as having seen a lot of people from south to north, and he has also seen a lot of people with fruit ability, he knows one thing, the insect fruit ability is a rare fruit with almost the same size in beast form and human form, and Xia Ji has obviously become larger after becoming a beast form.

"Okay, I'll take a look, little sister Xia Ji, stand still and don't move, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me." Pierre leaned down, the giant scorpion of more than two meters still looked terrifying, but Pierre was not worried, he had seen 5,000 insects if not 8,000, thanks to the characteristics of this world, many creatures that were considered extinct could be found on various primeval islands.

Pierre carefully observed the patterns on Natsuki's body, measured the size with the help of others, and took out a small hammer and knocked it on Natsuki.

"Sbarassi!" After that, Pierre stood up with excitement on his face, "This is the Pumono scorpion, which is rare even on the primeval island, the king of giant scorpions in ancient times, and is said to be the most powerful giant scorpion in the world. "

"So this is an ancient species?" The battle team leader hurriedly asked.

"That's right, the fruit that Xia Ji eats should be the insect fruit - the ancient species - the Pumono scorpion fruit, this is not the limit of growth, I once found the remains of a Pumono scorpion with a length of more than 8 meters (in the pirate world, the fossil in the real world is estimated to be more than 70 centimeters) on an island, hahahaha, come on Miss Xia Ji." Pierre gave a thumbs up to Natsugi.

"I'll try!" Natsuhime said as she turned back into her human form.

"The eldest sister is here!" A younger brother in the back shouted.

"What are you doing with so many people?" Lily said

"Big sister, we're looking at Xia Ji's fruit ability, and just now Pierre confirmed that this is the ancient species of Pumono Scorpion." The battle team leader hurriedly said.

"Really?" Lily looked at Pierre.

"Yes, Miss Lily, we can confirm that Miss Natsuki's fruit is an ancient species, and the Pumono scorpion was one of the powerful predators of the Carboniferous Period, because it is so old that there are not many fossils, so there has been a debate about its existence in the insect research community, but on an ancient island on the Great Voyage, we found a surviving Pumono scorpion, which completely confirmed the existence of this creature." Miss Lily and Mr. Kaido are Pierre's exclusive titles, and others are generally referred to as big brothers and big sisters, although many people are older than Kaido and Lily, but the pirates are ranked by seniority, unless there are relatives, master-apprentice relationships, etc., the strong ones are called big brothers and sisters, and Pierre is a cultural person, which is different from ordinary pirates.

"Well, that's good, but it's a good fruit, but you can't live up to it, or I'll take it." Lily scared Natsugi a little.

"Yes! I'm going to work hard. Natsuhime was not afraid at all, and agreed loudly.

"Okay, what should you do, you can also take a good rest, and you will be tired when you return to the Steel Islands." Lily reached out and nodded on Natsuki's head and turned to leave.

After Lily left, everyone began to chat idly, it would be night, they had already entered the current, just drift with the water, and there was no need to worry about the course.

"Looks like you're in high spirits."

"Yes, I heard that mean that Sister Lily will train you herself."

"It's not, although the training of Brother Kaido and Sister Lily is very tiring, but it can really increase strength, last time I accumulated enough points, let Brother Kaido train, although it hurts, but I actually felt a little bit of how to use it."

"Brother Kaido, that's the extreme training method, I still like the step-by-step step of Sister Lily's head, I can now release flying slashes."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's good that you can succeed three times in ten slashes, thanks to Sister Lily's head for giving you a complete training method, you lazy guy."

"Is Sister Lily's level of training strong? And who is Big Brother Kaido? Natsuhime asked, overhearing the conversation of the crowd.

"You don't know? Didn't Sister Lily tell you? A man asked in surprise.

"No, Zi Zi, the leading scorpion on the island, my friend told me to follow Sister Lily out for a long time." Natsuhime shook her head.

"Alright then, you know that we're the Hundred Beast Pirates."

"I know that."

"Yes, the leader of our Hundred Beast Pirates is Brother Kaido, and the deputy head is Sister Lily, but you can listen to this, usually Sister Lily has the final say." Said the battle team leader.

"As for training, whether it's Big Brother Kaido or Big Sister Lily, they're very good at it, usually we can only find two bosses for special training if we have enough points, as for what the points are, Pierre, you have the rules there." The pirate who had just said that he had learned the sword from Lily added.

"I have it here, Miss Lily asked me to compile the recruitment rules for the future, and I am writing it." Pierre nodded, "I'll show one to Miss Natsuki in a moment." "

"Okay, it's fine with you." The battle leader nodded.

"Before returning to the Steel Islands, you should learn from Pierre first, at least learn the rules of the group, our beasts are not those lawless pirates, we are rules." The battle team leader reached out and patted Natsuhime on the back.

"By the way, where does this kid sleep tonight?" Pierre asked suddenly.

"..." Everyone was silent, the only woman on the ship was Lily, Lily lived in a single room, and the others were all hammock bunks, which was really not suitable for Xia Ji to live.

"Let her come to my room!" Just as everyone was in a hurry, Lily's voice came from the cabin, helping everyone solve the problem.
