In the world of pirates…
The moment Jaeger opened the Gift Box Saitama had sent him, the familiar notification chime from the chat group rang out in his ears.
For some reason, the happiness it brought him surpassed even the thrill of defeating Saitama not long ago.
Overcome with joy, Jaeger casually reached out and gave Yamato's ass a playful pat.
"Eh?!"
Yamato spun around immediately, glaring at him with cute eyes. "Jaeger! Why'd you hit me?!"
"It's nothing," Jaeger said with a light chuckle. "I'm just in a really good mood."
He reached up and gently ruffled her hair, his tone relaxed and indulgent.
"When you eat the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami—your father Kaido's Devil Fruit—you should focus on mastering its ice abilities first. Next time we fight, I expect you to show me some results."
"Got it!"
Yamato nodded seriously. She didn't fully understand what was so amazing about ice powers, but if Jaeger said it mattered, that was enough for her.
Jaeger smiled faintly.
He liked this side of her—a loyal, straightforward girl who followed him around like an oversized, fluffy dog.
"I'll be leaving Wano soon," he said, leaning back lazily. "You probably won't master your Makami form right away. So today… let me teach you something more basic."
He placed a hand lightly on her head.
"Like drinking milk. If you want to become Wano's general someday, you need to grow stronger."
"Y-You're already an adult, Yamato," he continued calmly. "It's time you start picking up some common sense about life. You can't stay this clueless forever."
"Mm…"
Yamato looked up at him with those innocent, unguarded eyes, then quickly looked away, muttering under her breath.
But Black Maria said I'd already grown up…
Is Jaeger saying I still haven't?
As Jaeger patiently began Yamato's so-called "lesson," the chat group, meanwhile, erupted into chaos.
[Chat Group Interface]
Uchiha Miyuki: Why did His Highness Jaeger suddenly go radio silent after receiving the Gift Box?
Luo Hao: Probably… busy with some very 'important' matters.
Saitama: He's probably lifting… If you know what I mean.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: Hmph. Looks like our dear World Noble is bullying that poor white-haired girl again.
Uchiha Miyuki: Uuuu—Senpai, don't say things like that! Yamato is so pure and lovable! His Highness Jaeger would never do something so indecent! And what about Lady Toki and Hiyori-chan?! Jaeger-sama is such a bad person!
Yamamoto Mei: You're just jealous it's not you getting bullied.
Uchiha Miyuki: Shut up, you Shinigami old hag! No one asked you!
Sawamura Eriri: Utaha, you sound so sour it's leaking into my chat window. Hey, fat woman—do you secretly like Saint Jaeger?
Kasumigaoka Utaha: So what if I do?! You stupid golden retriever—are you projecting now?
Sawamura Eriri: Who knows~ I mean, now that I've got this beautiful Nine-Tails form, I can transform into anything Jaeger likes. Maybe I'll catch his eye~
Kasumigaoka Utaha: Let me warn you—Saint Jaeger isn't some innocent schoolboy. If you're not careful, you'll end up broken… and still crawling back for more.
Sawamura Eriri: Tch! That's none of your business, fatty!
Kocho Shinobu: Ara~ Miss Utaha is being rather dramatic today.
Tohsaka Sakura: …Jaeger-nii really isn't that bad.
Jibril: Oh, come on. Everyone can see it. Utaha's obviously the most jealous one here.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: Jealous?! Of that walking wig?! Her chest is barely a handful!
Jibril: Well, she can turn into something bigger than watermelons now. And she can shapeshift into anything Jaeger likes—cats, dogs, snakes… even adjust her age and body. Quite the competition, wouldn't you say?
Sawamura Eriri: …
Kasumigaoka Utaha: …
Nerona Jaeger: Tsk. Every time I open the group, it's nothing but slander.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: Well, you are bullying that poor white-haired girl. That's pretty scummy.
Nerona Jaeger: Yamato's an adult—and she's taller than me! Besides, she's just too cute. Can't blame me for that.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: Ugh. You're hopeless. Absolute scum.
Sawamura Eriri: …For once, I actually agree with this fat woman.
Nerona Jaeger: …
Nerona Jaeger…Okay, okay. I'll take the L.
