One Piece : Admiral Falcon is Pissed off again today!

After entering the banquet hall, Michael looked around before finally spotting Bellemere in a corner.

She was currently seated at a table, scribbling furiously.

Meanwhile, the Boa sisters were already eating with Nami and Nojiko.

Over the past six months, Hancock, who had undergone Michael's rigorous training, had clearly begun transforming from a little girl into a young lady.

Unlike Amazon Lily's traditionally hands-off approach to upbringing, Michael's training methods for the Boa sisters were derived from Garp's regimen.

Though not as extreme as what he and Stella had endured, it was still among the most intense training in the entire Marines.

But it also highlighted the remarkable physical resilience of Amazon Lily's people.

Under the same training methods, the young Marines of Alabasta's "Yellow Sand" branch could only endure half the time before collapsing.

Yet the Boa sisters now could completed the full regimen and even added extra sessions.

At first, Michael didn't quite understand their diligence—after all, he had never needed extra training.

But later, he gradually figured out the reason…

People just couldn't stand being outdone.

Somehow, the three little ones had gotten into a rivalry with that guy Enel.

Originally, the sisters had firmly held the top spots in their training results.

But then, out of nowhere, this weird guy with big earlobes breezed through everything they had learned in just a month.

And the most infuriating part?

No matter where he went or what he achieved, he always had that half-dead, lazy look on his face.

So, the fiercely competitive sisters started pushing themselves harder.

Yet Enel didn't even seem aware of it.

"Bellemere, we're here," Michael greeted them before sitting down with the others…

Well, Jack just sat directly on the floor.

There weren't any chairs here that could support his massive body.

"Oh, you're back earlier than expected… Who's this?" Bellemere looked up, her eyes immediately drawn to Jack.

"What a.... huge young man."

"We picked him up on the road, a die-hard fan of Michael," Stella said with a laugh.

"His name is Jack and he's ten years old."

"...Ten?" Bellemere instinctively sized Jack up before nodding.

"He doesn't look like a kid at all, but that look in his eyes... definitely belongs to a child."

The others exchanged glances.

This was the first person who hadn't blurted out, 'The hell he's ten!'.

Was this maternal instinct or something?

Meanwhile, Hancock and her sisters, along with Nojiko, stared at Jack in shock.

Ten years old!?

So... he's the same age as Marigold?

Seizing the moment, the socially bold Hancock climbed onto her chair and slapped Jack's arm with gusto.

"What? You're only ten? I'm thirteen, so from now on, you'll call me 'Hancock-oneesama'! And you'll do everything I say, got it!?"

Michael watched Hancock's antics with a twitching lip.

Though this version of Hancock wasn't as twisted or extreme as the original, she was far from "nice."

And when it came to fooling a simple kid like Jack?

She'd have him wrapped around her finger in no time.

"H-Hancock-oneesama?" Jack blinked.

This tiny girl wanted him to call her "Onee-sama"?

Like how they called Jinbei and Fisher Tiger "boss" back in Fish-Man Island?

Did that mean... he'd been accepted into the Marines!?

"What? Too happy to speak?"

Michael flicked Hancock's forehead.

"Cut it out, stop bullying him," Michael said, grinning as the girl clutched her forehead.

"Declaring yourself 'Big Sis' already? How do you even know he'll join the Marines?"

"I might not know him, but I know you," Hancock sighed, putting on a grown-up air. "There's no way you'd let talent like this slip away. Even if he were already with the Revolutionary Army or some pirate crew, you'd drag him out by force—let alone him being a Marine and your fanboy."

"Tch, you know too much." Michael chuckled.

Hancock wasn't wrong.

If he hadn't seen Jack, fine.

But now that he had him in hand? No way he'd let him go.

Just then, Igaram entered the banquet hall.

Spotting Michael, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over.

"Vice Admiral Michael, you're finally here."

"King Cobra has been waiting for you." Michael raised an eyebrow.

What was up with Cobra?

Judging by Igaram's demeanor, he'd clearly come to check multiple times already.

"What's going on?"

"Oh, nothing serious. His Majesty just said he's feeling nervous and wanted someone to share the nerves with."

"...Can we tell him to get lost?"

"This is Alabasta's royal palace... so that's a bit difficult."

******

In the end, Michael couldn't refuse Igaram.

After giving Bellemere and Stella a few instructions, he asked Igaram to bring more food for their table.

Hadn't they noticed the eight-meter-tall baby sitting there?

And at the age of ten, it was time for the growing boy buff to kick in.

After arranging everything, Michael left the banquet hall and followed Igaram straight into Cobra's private chambers.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Cobra's voice rang out from inside.

"Vivi, it's Daddy, it's Daddy!"

"Vivi loves Daddy and Mommy the most, right?"

Michael stepped forward, lifted the curtain, and looked helplessly at Cobra, who was grinning foolishly.

"Your Majesty Cobra, please don't torment an infant who's barely a month old with your creepy face, alright?"

"If you keep shoving your big face in little Vivi's sight, you might scare her for life."

Cobra, holding Vivi, turned to look at Michael.

"Ah, Michael, you're finally here."

"Quick! Tell me if my daughter isn't the cutest in the world!"

Without waiting for Michael's response, he shoved the baby into his arms.

In an instant, Michael—who had never flinched even in the face of Whitebeard—was completely frozen.

After all, this was an adorable little girl, not a tough kid like Ace or Luffy.

Michael's movements were unprecedentedly gentle.

Little Vivi stared with her bright eyes, curiously gazing at Michael's Wings, then babbled and reached out.

"Do you want to touch them?"

A trace of warmth appeared on Michael's face as he extended his Wings, enveloping little Vivi inside...

"Ow!"

"FUCK, this little brat just plucked my feather!"
