Towards the end of the year 1506, those who had ventured outside started to come back to Onigashima one after another. The Genesis ship also reappeared in the waters near Wano Country and Yamato could see the barrier outside Wano Country.
Seeing this barrier, she felt no joy. For her, it meant the end of summer vacation, and return to that “cage” once again.
And a pe*verted teacher waited inside for her.
“Yamato, what are you doing?”
At this moment, Yamato, wearing a vigilant expression, was staring at the sky. Moreover, she had already entered Human-Beast form, seemingly on guard against something.
“Based on his past behavior, Father is likely to launch a surprise attack. And after being away for so long this time, it’s bound to be more dangerous than before.”
In a way, this is a condition scientifically known as Kaido Stress Disorder—an excessive response that arises as a result of suffering too much of Kaido’s teachings.
“It would be good if you had this alertness while sailing outside. Don’t worry, there’ll be no training today; I’ve already spoken to him.”
Watching the highly tense Yamato, Arceus managed to calm her down. However, her worries were valid. Given Kaido’s personality, even if he did nothing today, there was a high likelihood of an unexpected test tomorrow.
In Yamato’s mind, her biological father, Kaido, was far more dangerous than outsiders. That’s why she remained vigilant.
The Genesis ship smoothly entered Mogura Port. Compared to Mogura Port of years past, it had undergone expansions and transformations, making it more convenient for the Beasts Pirates’ main warships to come and go.
Just as they exited Mogura Port, Yamato looked up at the sky. She seemed to have heard some screams, and two figures gradually appeared in her sight.
“What’s that? Maria, can you see clearly?”
Shielding her eyes from the sun with her hand, Yamato squinted, but the distance was too far, and she couldn’t make out who the figures were.
“It seems to be Pay-tan and Ulti?”
“Yes, it’s them. Yamato, you’ve been out long enough this time. I hope you’ve learned something useful.”
Kaido, at some point, had already arrived on the ship. His large hand pressed directly onto Yamato’s head as he made an extremely dangerous statement.
“I better see the results tomorrow. Otherwise, Worororo, you know what will happen.”
However, Yamato was not afraid because she had come to understand one thing: she currently lacked the power to resist Kaido.
Just like she had no idea when Kaido had appeared behind her.
So, all worries were meaningless. She could only cherish the time before tomorrow. Afterward, she realized another problem.
“Wait, why are they in the sky?”
“Of course, it’s to make them progress faster. It’s just flying; it’s ridiculous that they’re taking so long to learn.”
“Waaa! Help! Stupid Kaido, bas*ard Kaido! Is there some problem with that guy’s brain?”
This was Kaido’s training method. Unlike the previous gentle slope, Kaido directly took them into the sky and threw them down without a word.
The main point was that only Page One needed to learn to fly, but Kaido threw her down as well, reasoning that it would increase Page One’s sense of urgency.
They wouldn’t die from the fall, and even if they couldn’t fly, Kaido would catch them with Flame Clouds midway. But he never mentioned this, so in the eyes of the siblings, it was akin to murder.
“Sis, don’t move around, be careful not to fall.”
Page One, in Garchomp form, was trying hard to fly. He was just a four-year-old child, and Garchomp’s flight was different from that of birds, so he could only manage short-distance gliding at low altitudes before.
It’s like needing someone’s support just to ride a bicycle. In order to accelerate his learning process, Kaido deceitfully led him to a steep slope, even tying Ulti to his back. Then, he gave him a push down the slope—an approach that could be called a deadly teaching method.
“Pay-tan, you’re really the best. I didn’t care for you in vain.”
“Wait! Sis, don’t move my neck; we’re about to flip over!”
During the rapid descent, he struggled to maintain balance; Ulti’s antics nearly caused him to overturn.
“Um, Father, why do I feel like they aren’t going to fly?”
Watching Ulti and Page One getting closer and closer to the ground without any sign of taking off, Yamato had a bad feeling.
“Don’t worry; they’re still pretty high up.”
Kaido remained calm, but it was different for the falling siblings.
The powerful air currents generated by the high-altitude fall disrupted the balance of his body, preventing him from taking flight. At this moment, the scales on Page One’s body constantly sensed the flow of the wind, while specialized organs attempted to adjust the air currents passing through his body.
Finally, just a few hundred meters above the ground, he successfully took flight. Beneath the small scales, countless tiny jet orifices formed, utilizing the impact force of the air currents. With this, he broke free from gliding for the first time and began true flight.
“Worororo, I knew that kid had potential. Just needed a little push.”
Although Kaido was praising Page One, Yamato felt that something dirty had set its sights on her, suddenly experiencing a chilling sensation.
When she locked eyes with Kaido, she understood where this sense of crisis was coming from. She could tell that from tomorrow onwards, her life wouldn’t be easy.
However, Page One still crash-landed, leaving a long crash mark on Hakumai’s grassfield.
“Pay-tan! Are you okay, Pay-tan?”
“I’m fine, but sis, can you not jump around on my back next time!”
With a mouthful of dirt, Page One roared in frustration. He had indeed learned to fly, but Ulti was even more excited. So, as they descended rapidly, Page One ended up flipping over.
“Okay, next time for sure! Hey, Pay-tan, take me flying again; it’s so much fun!”
“Huh?”
…
Seeing that Page One had mastered flying and was continuing to train his flying ability with Ulti’s “assistance,” Kaido stopped keeping an eye on them and disappeared.
Meanwhile, in the Onigashima’s office, the departure of Arceus and Shayna one after another caused files to pile up, which Queen and Acier, acting as stand-in employees, couldn’t handle.
“A creature or device suitable for deep-sea mining.”
This was the report sent back by Kojiro. In the report, he affirmed the development potential of Fishman Island and highlighted some issues that the mining company was facing.
Relying solely on Fish-Men’s manpower for mining was too slow, so they needed new large-scale machinery and means to drive away Sea Kings.
It was difficult to solve this problem with manpower, which is why the report was sent here.
