One Piece: My Uncle Is Kizaru

###

"30 million Beri!?"

"This bounty is a bit inflated, isn't it!?"

On the deck of the *Diga*, basking in the morning sunlight for who knows how many times, Kyle sat comfortably at his desk.

While enjoying his breakfast, he glanced at his bounty poster.

The photo on the poster was a snapshot of the moment he shot and injured Smoker.

Perfect expression capture, ideal shooting angle...

The photo even made Kyle look more handsome than he actually was.

Rather than a wanted poster, it looked more like a movie promotional image.

Kyle couldn't help but feel like tipping the photographer a few chicken legs.

The 30 million Beri bounty listed below also solidified Kyle's status as the strongest pirate in the East Blue!

Clearly, the fact that his bounty poster was produced so quickly meant Fleet Admiral Sengoku had put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

In Sengoku's eyes, Kyle must have already eaten the Storm-Storm Fruit, otherwise he wouldn't have given such a high bounty.

30 million Beri was still small fry in the Grand Line, but in the East Blue, it was a number that could strike fear into people's hearts!

After finishing the day's newspaper, Kyle also finished his breakfast.

At that moment, Koby, who had been standing by the desk, quickly moved to take away Kyle's plate.

"Thanks for the hard work, Koby."

Kyle said with satisfaction, but Koby responded with a nervous excitement.

"N-no problem!"

After speaking, he moved even faster, cleaning the table with a towel as he collected the plate.

In the art of being a cabin boy, Koby had clearly reached the level of a grandmaster!

A level others could only dream of!

Ever since Koby learned that Kyle's true identity was a special agent under the Fleet Admiral, he had been in a state of constant excitement.

Koby never expected that such a bizarre twist of fate would indirectly fulfill his dream.

For someone who had always wanted to be a Marine since childhood, this felt like a dream come true!

Captain Kyle had even promised...

As long as he joined the Twilight Pirates and stayed obediently on the ship, once the mission was over, he could apply for a Marine position at Marine Headquarters!

Even with a rank!

Koby had no doubts about this.

First, Kyle and the others had no reason to lie to a mere cabin boy like him.

Second, he had recognized Tashigi as the female Marine kidnapped in Loguetown!

This made everything make sense!

So, Captain Kyle's attack on Loguetown was all just a big act with the Marines there!

All to give Captain Kyle a legitimate pirate bounty!

Entering the darkness for the sake of justice!

Wasn't this the kind of hero he had always admired!?

Being a cabin boy for such a hero was an honor Koby felt could be written on his tombstone!

Watching Koby carry the plate out of the captain's cabin, Kyle could sense the joy radiating from his back.

Picking up a napkin, Kyle elegantly wiped the grease from his mouth and couldn't help but chuckle softly:

"This silly kid..."

"He's still too young~"

...

Life at sea became a bit less boring with the addition of a new crew member.

During the day, Tashigi trained in the training room.

Meanwhile, Kyle took Koby to the deck for basic physical training.

This kid, upon learning that the contents of the notebook were knowledge only Marine officers could access, had never been more motivated to train!

Even when Kyle thought he might give up, he was always surprised to find...

Koby was still training!?

It just goes to show, this was the guy who mastered Rokushiki in half a year.

His talent was no joke!

What Koby lacked was a good teacher and a reason to keep going.

But this also forced Kyle to increase his own training intensity.

At the very least...

He didn't want Koby to master Rokushiki and both types of Haki before he even learned Armament Haki!

He was the one with the cheat system, after all!!!

And so, Kyle and the others spent their days training, one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

...

"Are we almost there?"

On the deck of the *Diga*, Tashigi stood by the railing, gazing into the distance.

Her black Shinigami robe tightly hugged her hips, not overly voluptuous but still showing a hint of curviness.

The smooth white stockings stretched from her toes to her slightly plump thighs.

At Kyle's suggestion, she had started growing out her hair, and now she pushed her square glasses up with a quiet elegance, exuding a cute yet dignified aura.

It was hard to believe she was someone who could wield a sword and kill.

But in reality, Tashigi's combat power had already reached the pinnacle of the East Blue's pirate world!

In seven days, with 800 experience points per day, she had completely left her old self behind!

Her current combat power was about to break the 10,000 mark!

**[Companion: Tashigi (Rukia Kuchiki)]**

[Talent: A]

[Level: 21]

[EXP: 330/900]

[Combat Power: 9,240]

After seven days of continuous training, her strength was now on par with Luffy and Zoro at the start of the story.

Defeating Captain Morgan would be a piece of cake for her!

This was also the main reason Kyle dared to lead his pirate crew to challenge an entire Marine base!

...

The *Diga*, flying its pirate flag, slowly approached the island where Shells Town was located.

Compared to the remote Will Town, Shells Town was undoubtedly a treasure trove.

The island was rich in resources, densely populated, and backed by a Marine base, making it completely safe from pirate attacks—a place full of security!

Unfortunately...

The very Marine base they relied on had now become the tyrant oppressing them!

Kyle didn't dock the *Diga* at Shells Town's port.

Instead, he bypassed the crowded port and headed straight for the Marine base's exclusive harbor.

His goal today was simple: to make a big scene!

The bigger, the better!

It was also a way to justify his 30 million Beri bounty!

With Tashigi's strength continuously improving, Kyle, who could now gain 20% of Tashigi's combat power, finally had some real strength!

Though it might not fully match his 30 million Beri bounty, defeating small-time pirates like Kuro or Krieg would be no problem!

...

"Alright, crew! Ready to make a big score!?"

On the *Diga*, Kyle grinned excitedly as the Marine base buildings grew closer.

Tashigi straightened up, pushing her glasses up.

With a flick of her finger, her sharp blade slid out of its sheath, glinting coldly!

"If the Marine captain here is as despicable as you say, Captain Kyle..."

"I will personally defeat him and offer him to you!!!"

Tashigi's voice was icy.

Compared to outright evil pirates...

Those who sat on the throne of justice but committed evil deeds infuriated this naive girl even more!

Behind Kyle and Tashigi, Koby stood trembling, clutching a Nichirin Blade with pink patterns.

He seemed terrified of the upcoming battle.

But like Tashigi, if someone truly tarnished his image of the Marines, he would muster all his courage to fight them to the end!

Although...

From the beginning, Kyle hadn't expected Koby to be of much use.

The agile *Diga* sailed swiftly, soon arriving at the Marine base's harbor.

A massive stone gate separated the harbor from the outside world.

Inside the gate, rows of Marine warships were docked.

Numerous Marines were busy maintaining the ships and weapons.

But at that moment...

A sharp-eyed Marine suddenly spotted the *Diga*!

"Pirates! Pirates are coming!"

"Pirates? Are you seeing things? This is a Marine base! What idiot pirate would..."

"Holy crap! It really is a pirate ship!"

"Stop cleaning! We've got work to do!!!"

As the word spread, more and more Marines noticed the *Diga* on the sea.

"These days, you just sit at home, and achievements come to you! Boys, don't let them get away!"

"Oh, and someone brave, go report to Captain Morgan!"

"..."

"..."

Despite being under Morgan's tyrannical rule, the Marines' professionalism was still intact.

Squads of Marines quickly sprang into action.

Some boarded ships, others manned cannons...

Ready to set sail and cut down the pirate ship before it could escape.

But what puzzled them was...

The pirate ship, upon seeing the Marine base, didn't immediately flee.

Instead, it sailed at an incredible speed toward the harbor gate.

Then, two pieces of paper flew out from the ship.

A strange gust of wind blew, and the papers magically stuck to either side of the harbor gate.

Under the bewildered gazes of the Marines, Kyle, standing at the bow of the ship, spread his arms and laughed:

"Art is an explosion!"

Boom!!!
