Chapter 12: Departure

The island of Rusukaina was once again a scene of Beast Pirates relentless training.

After Kaido's acquisition of the cursed Axe , he start to new chapter of weapon training. On the island, the flora and fauna suffered under the weight of their training regimens. Kaido repeat 8 steps of blade action of -Cut, Swing, Thrust, Parry, Dodge, Riposte, Disarm and Feint. Today, he faced one of the island's most formidable prehistoric beasts—a colossal mammoth with tusks that curved menacingly. The beast roared as it charged, shaking the ground with each step. Kaido stood his ground, the Axe held firmly in his grasp.With a fearsome roar of his own, Kaido swung the his weapon, the blade cutting through the air with a crack of thunder. The massive mammoth attempted to strike back, its enormous trunk swinging wildly. Kaido deftly dodged, his movements a blur as he countered with a series of devastating strikes. The Axe sliced through the beast's thick hide, dividing it in two halves .

It was a spectacular show of strength and precise technique. The land itself seemed to tremble under the force of Kaido's power.

It was November in a secluded part of the island, a different kind of moment was unfolding. Gloriosa, now under the care of skilled Amazon Lily doctor, was in the throes of childbirth. The atmosphere was tense with anticipation, the air filled with the soft murmurs of encouragement and the rhythmic sounds of labor.Hours passed, and finally, a newborn's cry pierced the quiet.

Kaido stood beside Gloriosa, his expression a mix of confusion and anxiety. As the gently placed the baby girl in his arms, Kaido's gaze softened. The tiny infant, wrapped in delicate cloth.Lost in thought, Kaido contemplated the name he should give her , should he give her original name Yamato, or somthing else, considering the name for long time , he admit defeat .After a few moments of contemplation, he turned to Gloriosa, his brow furrowed in a rare display of indecision. "Gloriosa, what do you think? , what should we name her "

Gloriosa, still recovering but with a bright smile on her face, took the baby into her arms. "Let's name her Yamato," she said with a gentle, loving tone.

Kaido nodded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Huh, what did I expect? Of course, it was Gloriosa who would name her. With kaido peanut sized brain, how could he name anyone?"

The moment was filled with warmth and new beginnings. As Kaido looked at his daughter, the weight of his responsibilities and ambitions seemed to momentarily lift, replaced by the simple, profound joy of becoming a father.

With the name decided and his family complete, Kaido felt a renewed sense of purpose. The trials of training would continue, but for now, he cherished the small, precious moments of his new life.

It had been a month since Yamato's birth, and the once-wild Rusukaina Island had become a sanctuary of sorts. But Kaido knew this peace could not last forever. With the world outside filled with enemies waiting for a chance to strike, Kaido had made a difficult decision—it was time to return to the New World.

Kaido's concern was not just for himself, but for Gloriosa and their daughter. Gloriosa, once a powerful warrior in her own right, was living in hiding, fearful that her past might catch up to her. Kaido understood her fears and knew that remaining on Rusukaina might eventually draw unwanted attention.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the island, Kaido and Gloriosa sat together on Kaido's ship, sharing a quiet dinner. The ship rocked gently on the waves, a stark contrast to the storm brewing within Kaido's mind.

"I've made up my mind," Kaido said, breaking the silence. "We'll leave for the New World soon."

Gloriosa nodded, her eyes reflecting the setting sun. "I knew this day would come. Staying here… it was never going to be a permanent solution. But what about Yamato?"

Kaido's gaze softened as he thought of his daughter. "I'm taking her with me . But I've been thinking... it's too dangerous for anyone to know she's my daughter. I'll let others believe she's the daughter of one of my crew—one of our doctors. She'll be safer that way, and the doctor can take better care of her."

Gloriosa smiled, though there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. "You're right. It's the best way to protect her. But still… it's hard."

Kaido reached across the table, taking Gloriosa's hand in his. His grip was firm, yet gentle—an expression of the strength that had drawn Gloriosa to him in the first place. "I promise, I'll keep both of you safe. No matter what."

As the conversation lulled, Kaido seemed to contemplate something deeply. Then, without warning, he pulled a small object from his pocket—a gold ring, simple yet elegant. He held it out to Gloriosa, his usually fierce expression softened by an emotion he rarely showed.

"Gloriosa," Kaido began, his voice steady but earnest, "I know we're pirates, and this life we lead… it's not easy. But I want you by my side. I want us to face whatever comes together."

Gloriosa looked at the ring, then back at Kaido, her heart swelling with a mixture of emotions. Without a word, she extended her hand, and Kaido gently slid the ring onto her finger.

"Yes," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "I'll stay by your side, no matter what."

For a moment, the world outside their ship, with all its dangers and uncertainties, seemed distant and unimportant. In that small, golden ring, Kaido and Gloriosa had found a symbol of their bond—a bond that would carry them through whatever challenges lay ahead.
