Gin was utterly baffled when he received the news.
Especially when he heard that the ones causing trouble were from the world of pirates, his confusion deepened.
Given the current order and laws in the pirate world, who, besides those reckless pirates in the New World, would dare defy the League's "Peace Code"? If they were from the pirate world, they should be well aware of the League's laws.
Initiating an unprovoked attack or maliciously harming others was a serious crime! Depending on the severity of the injuries, the perpetrator could face various degrees of detention and control.
"Deputy Minister, don't worry. We've got information on those kids. They're Vice Admiral Garp's grandsons, so they should know their limits. At worst, it might just be a case of 'fighting and brawling,' and since they're just children, they would likely face a ten-day detention for education at most," said Gin's assistant in this world, Wanda, the deputy captain of the Konoha Inspection Team.
Wanda, a canine Mink who had once been mistaken for Nami by Luffy, was quite adept with her thunder sword thanks to the Minks' electrical abilities.
According to the League's laws, even minors must be punished for their crimes!
Dak had no tolerance for the mischief of these brats. If they caused trouble, they would be punished. Not only the children but their guardians would also face consequences!
However, considering that children's physical and mental development was less mature than adults, the punishment would be somewhat lighter.
For example, in cases of fighting and brawling:
If an adult committed the offense: They would face a minimum of five days and a maximum of thirty days of detention, along with a fine ranging from 10 to 50 gold, depending on the situation.
If a child committed the offense: They would face a minimum of five days and a maximum of ten days of detention for education, with an adult guardian accompanying them, and a fine of 5 to 10 gold.
Of course, each case would be judged individually, considering factors like provocation, mutual fault, the impact on others, and so on.
"Alright, no more talking. I'm going to check it out. You all continue your patrols."
"Are you sure you'll be okay on your own?"
"I'll manage."
...
At the Hyūga Clan's grounds.
Infernape had arrived with Hinata some time ago, but the situation had taken on a rather strange turn.
The members of the Hyūga Clan, hearing that a fully-evolved Pokémon had followed the young lady Hinata to the clan grounds, had gathered out of curiosity to see what was going on.
Within minutes, over a hundred people had gathered around.
Seeing the growing crowd, Hinata stood uneasily by Infernape's side, sensing that things were getting out of hand.
Hyūga Hiashi stood a short distance away, staring down Infernape.
Infernape wasn't speaking to these people because he knew they wouldn't understand him, so he didn't see the point in wasting his breath.
Today, he had come to see how Hiashi was raising his daughter.
"Hinata, why are you so late coming home today?"
Hiashi's towering presence put immense pressure on Hinata, who didn't dare lift her head to look at him.
"I... I..."
Hinata didn't know what to say.
The reason was that she had waited for Infernape to wake up, but she feared that telling her father this might give him a bad impression of Infernape.
"Never mind, go to the back courtyard for training. You won't eat until you've completed today's tasks."
Hiashi's voice was cold and unfeeling.
To the surrounding main family members, this seemed perfectly normal; the branch family members wouldn't sympathize with a main family member either.
"Yes."
What could Hinata say in such a situation? She had long grown accustomed to obeying, "I'm sorry, Infernape-nii, I can't entertain you."
No one could help her.
Just as Hinata was about to step toward the back courtyard, Infernape extended his arm to block her path.
Hinata looked up at Infernape, who was now frowning at Hyūga Hiashi.
Hiashi's face darkened at Infernape's defiant gesture.
"So you're Hinata's summoning beast? Instead of helping her train, you're getting in the way?"
"No, he's not a summoning beast. He's my brother."
Before Infernape could react, Hinata's face turned bright red as she quickly denied Hiashi's words.
"Brother? You call a... Pokémon your brother?"
Hiashi had initially intended to say "monkey," but considering the current trends in the village, he changed his wording.
The Hyūga Clan had always been Konoha's most adaptable and strategic clan, which had allowed them to thrive from the earliest days.
As the head of the Hyūga Clan, Hiashi was indeed old-fashioned, but he wasn't blind to the changing attitudes in Konoha and Hiruzen Sarutobi's stance.
"Pokémon" now held a special status in the village.
"Yes."
This time, Hinata didn't remain silent. She firmly nodded.
Though she had been forced into becoming a sister to the Monkey family, she didn't feel troubled or regretful about it. She liked her new role.
"You're being ridiculous. Get back here. It's time to educate you properly."
Hiashi sneered and took a step forward, intending to drag Hinata away.
Whoosh!
Before he could get close, Infernape fired a Flamethrower, which zipped past Hiashi, burning a large hole through a tree behind him. The tree burst into flames.
"The power is about the same as a B-rank Fire Dragon Bullet."
"But this Pokémon did it without seals."
"Indeed, and it didn't seem to consume much chakra."
"A Pokémon proficient in Fire Style?"
The Hyūga Clan members began whispering among themselves, discussing the display of power they had just witnessed from Infernape.
None of them noticed how Hiashi's face had turned black with anger.
It had been years since anyone dared to challenge him, the head of the Hyūga Clan.
"I was considering being hospitable since you're Hinata's summoning beast, but it seems you're not a guest after all."
Hiashi frowned, glanced at Hinata, then turned his gaze to Infernape, who was standing protectively in front of her. "What are you all standing around for?"
With a single look from Hiashi, the atmosphere grew tense, and cold sweat began to drip from the foreheads of the branch family members.
"Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms."
One of the branch family elders was the first to rush at Infernape.
Beyond the Thirty-Two Palms was the Sixty-Four Palms technique, but that was reserved for the main family members. Only a genius like Neji Hyūga would later master it on his own.
"Hmph."
Infernape looked at the elder with disdain and launched a Flame Punch.
The elder was sent flying, his palms severely burned.
For Pokémon, the most troublesome techniques were things like the Body Flicker, Transformation, and Genjutsu. But against opponents like the Hyūga or Akimichi clans, who fought head-on, they were not at a disadvantage.
Especially since the Hyūga Clan's combat abilities were not particularly strong. Their strength lay in the versatility of the Byakugan and its supportive role in a team.
Moreover, each Pokémon's body structure was different. How would they perform Gentle Fist on a Pokémon like Onix or Muk?
The branch family elder wasn't very strong—just a special jōnin with the combat power of an average chūnin.
There was no way he could withstand a full-power punch from Infernape.
But that didn't matter; the elder had served his purpose.
With him leading the charge, the other branch family members quickly followed, attacking Infernape.
Infernape glanced at them. The pressure was indeed intense, but he had no intention of running.
He could use Typhlosion's emergency token to quickly escape this world, but if he didn't teach these people a lesson today, he wouldn't be able to let it go.
Whoosh! Before Infernape could make a move, three Flamethrowers suddenly shot from the entrance of the Hyūga Clan grounds.
The three Flamethrowers didn't hit anyone but halted the advance of the branch family members, leaving large scorch marks on the ground.
"Who goes there?!"
Hiashi shouted in anger, glaring at the entrance.
Who dared to interfere with their business?!
"I'm the future League Leader, Monkey D. Luffy!"
Luffy, unable to contain himself, was the first to jump out. Hearing someone ask a question seemed to trigger something in him, and he couldn't help but respond.
In the next moment, the six brothers from Mount Gorbo jumped over the wall, forming a protective circle around Hinata.
The seven brothers of Mount Gorbo were now reunited, standing together against the Hyūga Clan members.
They weren't about to fall into the trap of rescuing one after another like the classic "Rescue the Grandpa" tale.
"Ho ha."
Infernape was furious at his disobedient brothers for running over, but now wasn't the time to scold them.
"Nii-sans."
Hinata's eyes sparkled as she looked at her seven brothers surrounding her. They were so cool.
Even though they were fighting her clan members, Hinata couldn't help but feel happy.
Ever since she had lost to her three-year-old sister, Hanabi, everyone had treated her with cold indifference, even her father, who often showed signs of disappointment.
It seemed she had lost her worth as the Hyūga Clan's young lady, and no one cared about the existence of Hinata Hyūga.
But now, things were different.
There were people who didn't care about her status. They protected and loved her just because she was Hinata.
This was a feeling Hinata had never experienced before.
She didn't have to bear the burden of forced expectations and pressures. She could simply enjoy the affection of others.
"Hinata, we're taking you home."
Luffy didn't look back, glaring at the surrounding crowd as he spoke.
Hinata hesitated for a long time, then took a deep breath, nodding vigorously as she made the most rebellious and bold decision of her life, "Okay!"
