The meeting hall of the Beast Pirates was always loud, messy, and full of shouting. Pirates were drinking, throwing food, and sometimes throwing each other. Yuta sat beside Queen, who was already halfway drunk, singing a rap about fried calamari.
"Yo, yo, calamari, in my belly, feelin' jolly!" Queen bellowed, shaking his round stomach like a drum.
Yuta sighed. "Do we really have to rhyme everything you eat?"
"Yes!" Queen declared proudly. "That's how music is born!"
Before Yuta could respond, the doors slammed open with a bang. A tiny figure stormed in, wooden club dragging behind her. It was a little girl with wild white hair, sharp eyes, and the energy of a storm.
"Outta my way, you stinking pirates!" she shouted.
"TCH," one pirate muttered. "It's the brat again…"
Kaido's daughter, Yamato—only eight years old now, but already terrifying.
She stomped into the middle of the hall. "Who wants to fight me today?!" The little tyrant shouted.
The pirates all pointed at each other. "Him!" "No, fight him!"
Yamato frowned, looking for a good fight, she wished to fight someone strong but they wouldn't fight her.
The rest were a complete waste.
Yamato's eyes wandered, pondering who she should pound, and then her eyes landed right on the new guy.
She grinned. "You. I challenge you!"
Yuta blinked. "Me? Why me? I didn't even say anything!"
"Don't care! You look strong! Fight me!" Yamato shouted, pointing her little club at his face.
'Of course, since when common sense applied in this world.' Yuta rolled his eye.
Its been some time since he was taken by Queen, quickly becoming the best performer under his wing.
He has advanced to the point that he entered the party only the core members join.
He had to stay he really look weak in front of this giants, even the most normal members of the beast pirates were giants in front of him.
He only felt like this infront of All Might.
Not talking about power here, he could take down most of the officers here, outside the dragon him that is.
He was talking about size. And of boy the size mattered here.
He looked like a child in front of these monsters.
One didn't had to look to far to figure it out, Queen, King and Kaido himself. They were like mountains.
Size of a building.
It was honestly a bit demoralising seeing the absurd side difference.
He looked at the man who was devouring to gaze his mood, after all this was his daughter who asked him for a fight.
But Kaido didn't even bat an eye to him or Yamato for that matter.
He kept his entire focus on his Alcohol.
Queen laughed so hard he almost fell off his chair. "Hah! Brat, you're famous already. Even kids wanna smack you around!"
Yuta rubbed his temple. "I… seriously… Fine, whatever, let's just get this over with." He sigh give up to his fate and got up. It just was kid Yamato anyway.
They squared off in the middle of the room. Yamato charged like a tiny bull, swinging her club wildly. now seeing the girl's horns, she really do look like bull. Yuta dodged with ease, muttering,
"She's like a rabid squirrel with a stick…"
"Don't underestimate me!" Yamato yelled, attacking again and again.
Yuta decided to go easy. He parried her attacks, sometimes flicked her forehead, and once even stole her club mid-swing.
Underestimating her would be a mistake, by now mean he was doing that. It just that by now Yuta have been so used to fighting in general that he could tell easily when that brat would attack before she even start.
Reading your opponents movements it was a basic form of observation Haki.
"Hey! Give that back!" Yamato shouted, stomping her foot.
"Nope." Yuta twirled it like a baton. "I win."
But Yamato refused to back down. She clenched her fists, her face red with frustration.
Yuta didn't honeslty wished to fight, if anything he was planning on to convince Kaido to teach him ever since he join the beast pirates.
The fight continue until there was no doubt that Yamato stood no chance again Yuta.
Yamato was only a kid, however, she was Kaido's daugther, she was born strong. She could beat most common nobody wish her clubs.
So seeing Yuta easily evade Yamato's attack and pretty much playing with her finally make others aware that Yuta wasn't as weak as he looked.
Even Kaido who was usually drunked and couldn't be bothered with anything, watch the fight intently. He might show he didnt' care but he did.
"I WON'T LOSE." Came a shout.
Then—suddenly—an overwhelming wave of pressure burst out from Yamato tiny body.
BOOM!
Pirates all around fainted, mugs dropped, and even Queen nearly fell out of his chair.
"That… that's Conqueror's Haki!" one pirate gasped.
"She's only eight!" another shouted.
Yuta froze, not expecting a Conqueror's blast right to his face. His instincts kicked in before he even thought. His own Conqueror's Haki erupted in response, clashing against Yamato's like thunder meeting fire. The hall shook, walls cracked, and the air itself seemed to scream.
Everyone was stunned. Two kids, one barely out of diapers, the other a newcomer brat, were unleashing kingly Haki in the middle of Kaido's meeting.
"Fuck..." Yuta cursed, he really need to control his Conqueror's Haki well.
Even Kaido himself, sitting at the head of the table with a sake jug in hand, looked up from his drunken haze. His eyes widened slightly. "Oi… brat's got spirit." He chuckled, then roared with laughter. "GYAAAAH-HA-HA-HA! I LIKE IT!"
Yamato collapsed on the floor, panting but grinning proudly. "I… I almost had you!"
"You didn't even scratch me brat". Yuta replied with irritation, no thanks to her, he got exposed.
Kaido stood up, towering over everyone. He jabbed a giant finger toward Yuta and Yamato. "From today on, you two brats are my disciples! You'll carry the Beast Pirates into the next generation!"
The hall went silent.
"Huh ?" Yuta's mind short-circuits.
Yuta blinked. "Wait. What do you mean disciples. How come its that easy ?"
Queen smacked him on the back. "Congratulations, partner! You're moving up fast!"
Yuta was speechless. If anything, this was the first time Yuta's luck was working for him and not against him.
And this terrified him.
Why my heart going B-Dum suddenly?
Kaido ignored him, lifting his sake jug. "From now on, you will train under me brat. And here take care of her as well. From now on she's your responsibility. Make sure she come to the training!"
Kaido pick Yamato with his mountain side hands, barely needed fingers to do so and toss her like she was a booger, towards Yuta.
Yamato jumped up, beaming. "Yes! I'll get stronger and beat you next time, Yuta!"
Yuta groaned. "I see what's going on. That nasty dargon just wanted a nanny for his daughter."
Queen laughed so hard he wheezed. "Yo, yo, we got a new duo—Kaido's brats, making waves, that's the flow!"
Yuta dropped his head on the table. "Mission One, Complete."
"Sigh... I'm so exhausted."
