Chapter 14 suggest a title
Ragnar was lazing around with Yamato when Maria walked in.
"Young Master Ragnar, we have very interesting news," she said smiling.
Ragnar's mouth twitched.
"How many times do I have to say it? Just call me Ragnar."
Yamato nodded.
"Yep. It's too official and dumb."
She also hated being called young lady.
Hiyori giggled while doing paperwork.
Maria smiled.
"About that news, a strange monk has been seen near Ringo."
Ragnar's ears perked up.
"A monk, you say?"
His eyes sparkled.
It finally appeared, the fox who had eaten the Mythical Zoan.
Though he wasn't able to save Ushimaru, Ragnar still wanted his pet.
Though thinking about the loss of Shimotsuki Ushimaru, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Well, let's go then."
He and Yamato jumped to their feet.
Ragnar looked at Yamato speechlessly.
Yamato shot him a glare.
She had been with this idiot ever since she was born, so how could she not tell?
Ragnar was waiting for this news.
Ragnar sighed.
There was no escaping her now.
Just then he caught Hiyori getting ready to go out.
"What? You make me do all the paperwork. Don't tell me you don't want me coming for a stroll?"
She looked at him.
Ragnar appeared near her with extreme speed.
An arm dropped over Hiyori while the other pinched her cheek.
"How could I?"
Hiyori huffed.
Soon the three of them set out for Ringo.
Maria's mouth twitched as she looked at the papers in her hand.
"Damn it, why me?"
She wanted to cry but could only sigh.
Though she made a note to take revenge for this on Ragnar in the future.
A dangerous smile formed and disappeared as she looked at the papers.

Ragnar and Yamato ran through the road as Hiyori followed them speechlessly.
"Can't we just fly over there?"
"What's the fun in that?" Ragnar and Yamato asked.
Both were enjoying themselves.
People waved at them as they passed by.
Many cheered while waving their hands.
Hiyori looked at the smiling people.
Though she had seen it multiple times over the years, she still felt sad.
Under her family, people were never this happy.
And maybe Ragnar becoming Shogun was for good.
She woke up from her imagination as pain hit her nose.
"Oww!"
She grabbed her nose.
Ragnar was grinning.
"Stop thinking about stupid things and enjoy the present."
"You—"
Hiyori gritted her teeth in anger and started chasing Ragnar angrily.
Though a smile formed on her face as she chased him.
Yamato also joined her.
The residents just giggled at their antics.
---
As they approached the graveyard, Ragnar was deep in thought.
He had forgotten what kind of abilities this Mythical Zoan had.
But since it was a Mythical Zoan, it should be awesome, right?
He thought.
Yamato was bouncing around.
The cold air and snow felt like nothing to her.
Hiyori was slightly affected.
Just then a four-meter giant monk came into their sight.
He was standing on the bridge.
Yamato's eyes lit up.
"There it is! The fox with the Devil Fruit!"
Hiyori drew her katana.
"I will be fighting it."
Yamato pouted.
"No fair! I want to fight too!"
Hiyori ignored her and walked toward the monk, Onimaru.
Onimaru noticed Hiyori too.
He drew his naginata.
"Hand over your weapon."
Hiyori drew her katana.
"Can't do that."
Onimaru swung his naginata at her with terrifying strength.
Hiyori slashed upward, meeting him head-on.
Ragnar and Yamato sat on ice chairs cheering for her.
Hiyori's hands trembled.
His strength was monstrous.
Though nowhere near Kaido.
The thought amused her.
She was unconsciously comparing others' strength to Kaido.
Though remembering his educational Thunder Bagua made her mouth twitch.
As they fought, the result was evident.
Though Onimaru possessed more strength and speed, his combat experience was lacking.
Hiyori was bored.
His techniques weren't really great.
With a sigh she jumped back.
Just then Yamato dashed forward.
"My turn!"
Her Takeru swung infused with frost energy.
Onimaru clashed head-on and was frozen in ice.
"Piece of cake."
Yamato waved a victory sign.
Ragnar was disappointed.
This Mythical Zoan was absolutely garbage.
He lost all interest in the fox.
"Well, let's go back."
After saying that, he transformed into his Rayquaza form, grabbed the frozen Onimaru, as Hiyori jumped on his back.
"Hey! Take me too!" Yamato shouted as two white wings appeared on her back.
She flew and landed on Ragnar's head.
"Oi! You can fly?!" Ragnar shouted.
"Blagh! I don't wanna. This is more fun."
Ragnar was speechless.
Damn it, that's my head.
He complained inwardly and flew toward the Flower Capital.
Soon Onimaru was handed to Shinobu as Ragnar and the girls returned to Onigashima and received their Kaido special education.

Time passed.
In these years many events happened.
Queen Otohime started her campaign to get signatures for Fish-Man and human coexistence.
An incident on an island left five hundred soldiers being held hostage by pirates.
The pirates demanded their captain be made the king of the island in exchange for the release of the five hundred captives.
The World Government sent in one thirteen-year-old boy to end the hostage situation.
He killed the five hundred soldiers and then the pirates when they opened fire on him.
The boy was Rob Lucci.
Fisher Tiger escaped from Mary Geoise.
He returned and told King Neptune of his plan to go back and save other slaves.
The Flevance incident happened, leaving Law as the only survivor.
A year later Fisher Tiger was recaptured.
This time Fisher Tiger escaped and went to save others.
Shanks, who was in the Holy Land, cut off his chains and left the armory open, which resulted in many slaves escaping Mary Geoise, including Koala and more.
Later Shamrock took Shanks to meet another devotee of God King Harald.
After a brief conversation, Shanks left, with Shamrock discussing how to find the traitor who left the armory open.

On Amazon Lily, Hancock, now fifteen, was one of the strongest fighters.
After being sent back to Amazon Lily, she had focused on training.
At fifteen she had awakened all three types of Haki.
Gloriosa was so happy she nearly fainted.
Kuja finally had a monster of their own.
She was absolutely determined to make Hancock the best empress.
But Hancock wasn't satisfied.
To her, her strength was still lacking.
After a full day of training, she returned to her room.
After taking a bath she looked at the pink heart-shaped fruit.
Memories of Ragnar calling her wife surfaced as her face flushed.
"Stupid. What am I thinking?"
She shook the strange thoughts away and walked to the Devil Fruit.
As she looked at it, question marks appeared in her mind.
"Did this fruit have those snake patterns?"
She muttered.
She was sure they weren't there before.
"Is it going bad?"
The thought made her panic.
This was given to her by that pervert.
If it went bad, what would she do?
After thinking for a long time, the only solution she had was eating it.
After all, that pervert had given it to her so she could eat it.
After taking a long breath, she took a bite.
The disgusting taste made her face go pale.
Gritting her teeth, she swallowed it.
The next instant she felt her body burning.
Her physique was growing stronger.
Her eyes widened in pure shock.
"A Mythical Zoan? How? Wasn't that the Paramecia Mero Mero no Mi?"
Then a charming smile appeared on her face.
"A Mythical Zoan. Same as the pervert and stupid girl."
She grinned as she closed her eyes.
Her body began to change as her black hair turned into snakes.
Yet rather than terrifying, she looked even more beautiful.
Just then the doors opened.
Sonia, Mari, and Gloriosa walked in.
"Hancock—"
They froze as they looked at the breathtakingly beautiful woman with living snake hair.
"Kyaaaaaaa!"
They shouted in horror.
Hancock snapped out of her excitement.
She returned to her human form.
"Wait, let me explain—"
The three had already bolted.
Hancock had veins popping on her beautiful face.

In the Chamber of Authority in Mary Geoise, the Five Elders sat as the room was filled with tension.
Nusjuro slammed his hand down.
"Why is the traitor who left the armory open still not found?"
"Not yet. The investigation is still ongoing," Saturn replied.
The tension in the room increased.
Topman Warcury spoke.
"What's the report on the Beast Pirates?"
Everyone turned toward him.
Peter took out some documents.
"They have been becoming more stable. They are currently the largest Seastone exporters, and in recent years they have also started selling Den Den Mushis. Though we don't know the exact situation of Wano."
His brow furrowed.
"Wano's defenses have increased. Many of our CP spies have been caught, so we don't have accurate intelligence. But they are still manageable. Their forces have increased, but nowhere near Big Mom's. There aren't any reports of new powerhouses."
The others nodded and they started discussing other Emperors and other matters.

In Elbaf, Loki discovered his late mother Estrid's Giant tribe in the Brewers Village poisoned Ida, so he proceeded to decimate the village in retaliation.
Ida died after succumbing to poison.
Soon after, Loki was imprisoned.
Fisher Tiger, who was being hunted down, created the Sun Pirates.
