Kaido's intentions

"Drink up, everyone! Let's party to your heart's content!"

All the alcohol stored in Onigashima had been brought out, and most people's faces were flushed red from drunkenness. Only a few were on duty at their posts. Although pirates were fond of banquets, not everyone could drink due to their constitution or job.

In various districts of Wano Country, the people who drank the least alcohol were at the Udon's quarry, after all, they were responsible for overseeing this place.

However, Kaido had no such concerns; his monstrous constitution had long reached immunity to alcohol. If he appeared drunk, it was only because he wanted to be drunk. If needed, he could sober up within seconds.

As for Yamato's plan to get him drunk, it failed. Someone did get drunk, but it wasn't Kaido; it was Yamato herself.

Kaido's way of raising children had always been laissez-faire, even with Arceus' assistance, there was only a slight change.

It used to be that if they died, it was her fault for not being strong enough. Now, if they didn't die, anything was acceptable. Yamato inherited Kaido's physique and fighting talent, but in terms of scheming, ten of her couldn't compare to one Kaido.

Originally, she wanted to get Kaido drunk. However, under Kaido's teasing, she stubbornly started drinking herself. There were many types of alcohol in the one piece world, including high-proof spirits, but they weren't usually served at banquets.

There were far more normal people than monsters, and if they served high-proof alcohol directly, there would be no one left standing within half an hour. Most people drank fruit wine. Yamato hadn't drunk much before, and the taste of fruit wine deceived her. By the time the alcohol hit her, it was too late.

Kaido's face showed only a hint of drunkenness, but Yamato had collapsed entirely. For now, her tolerance seemed okay; she just fell asleep when drunk, unlike Kaido, who would act crazily when intoxicated.

"Worororo, trying to get me drunk? You're not even close! Who's next!"

Kaido was in a cheerful mood after drinking, which was relatively safe. However, few ordinary members dared to challenge Kaido to a drinking contest face-to-face; most just cheered from the sidelines.

Soon, Kaido had a newspaper thrown in his face, something that only Arceus could do on Onigashima.

After all, this wasn't an ordinary world. Drinking a bit at this age was fine, but getting drunk like this was somewhat inappropriate. However, Kaido had an extremely solid reason for it.

"She has grown up. She needs to know her drinking limits."

Kaido removed the wanted poster from his face while explaining his actions. He certainly wouldn't admit that he did it because he sensed Yamato's intention to get him drunk.

It was a perfectly valid reason, one that couldn't be argued against, but it still felt odd in this situation.

The thing thrown at him wasn't anything else but the newly arrived wanted poster. Morgans, at the cost of nearly dying, had achieved a level of timeliness that made his newspaper faster than Marine's wanted posters.

The setting of bounty involves a complex process, but outsiders simply couldn't understand their rules for determining bounties. Eventually, Kaido's bounty was fixed at 4.27 billion Berries, while Whitebeard's was raised to 4.6 billion Berries.

Their bounties had risen significantly compared to the original timeline, with Kaido's bounty even surpassing Charlotte Linlin.

Whitebeard remained higher than Kaido because in the eyes of the World Government, Whitebeard's destructive power was much greater than Kaido's, and a pirate who engaged in business was easier to get in touch with.

Since this battle was only between Whitebeard and Kaido, other members didn't have much opportunity to shine.

However, the strength of a captain would naturally lead to higher bounties for their officers, so the bounties of calamity-level officers were uniformly increased by 200 million Berries.

Queen, who had done almost nothing, still ranked third in bounty within the Beasts Pirates.

The banquet continued, but Arceus took the intoxicated Yamato away early.

---

Familiar ceiling. Yamato woke up on her bed. By now, the banquet had ended. Pirates loved their banquets, but it wouldn't go on endlessly. There were many things to do after celebrating.

Having experienced getting drunk for the first time in her life, Yamato felt a bit dizzy. She shook her head and then saw Arceus standing near her, seemingly having appeared out of nowhere.

"Dad? Shouldn't the banquet still be going on?"

"Two pieces of news. First, Kaido gave you three days off."

"Really? Did Father's personality change?"

Hearing that Kaido had given her three days off, her first thought was disbelief.

"Don't rush. The other news is that today happens to be the third day."

"Huh?"

"You had a drinking contest with Kaido and ended up drunk for three days."

At first, she was just drinking fruit wine, but as the drinking contest progressed, the variety of alcohol she consumed became increasingly complex. In short, she ended up drinking red wine, white wine, and beer mixed together until she was full. To top it off, the drink was also mixed with ice cubes.

It was only because she had a similar constitution to Kaido. Otherwise, at her age, drinking like that would have caused her to suffer from gastric bleeding at the very least.

"So, that means..."

"That's right, you only have half a day left of your holiday. Do you now understand the phrase 'drinking causes trouble'?"

In Arceus's view, tobacco, alcohol, and drugs were all harmful substances, especially the latter. It's the kind of business even the Beasts Pirates wouldn't touch. A little exposure to alcohol might be acceptable, but one must never turn into an alcoholic like Kaido.

As she grows older, some lessons couldn't just be taught through words alone. Therefore, he allowed Yamato to experience firsthand the consequences of getting drunk.

"I understand..."

Her face showed disappointment. She now resented alcohol strongly. Her precious holiday was wasted because of this, and at the same time, she had a deeper impression of Kaido's monstrous constitution.

Before, it was basically one cup for her and a whole barrel for Kaido, yet even then, she couldn't compete with him.

However, as she lamented this, she suddenly heard a peculiar sound.

Crack... crack...

At first, it was faint, but it grew louder. When Yamato looked in the direction of the sound, she saw that the large egg had developed significant cracks.

"Dad, it looks like it's about to hatch!"

The birth of a new life always arouses curiosity. Unlike the Pokémon created directly in the past or researched like the Sobble on the small Sky Island, this time, this egg has been under her care all along, bringing about a different kind of feeling.

"Yes, the expected hatching time is about now. Go on, it's going to be a great little fellow."

Without waiting for him to finish, Yamato had already rushed to the side of the giant egg. In no time, a green arm broke through the shell from the outside.
