A deserted island near the Calm Belt in the New World rarely saw visitors.
A pirate ship slowly docked by the shore, followed by Brian disembarking with the Beast Girls and several maids.
The group headed straight into the forest, walking for a while until they reached the depths of the woods.
In front of a towering tree, Brian lightly tapped the bark. A blue light appeared, scanning the figures before it.
Ding~
Scan approved. An opening appeared in the flat ground before the towering tree, with a staircase leading straight down.
After Brian and the others descended the stairs, the opening vanished once more.
Tap, tap, tap~
After walking along the staircase for some time, Brian and the group suddenly found themselves in a spacious area.
A vast scientific laboratory unfolded before them, filled with rows of cultivation pods as tall as a person.
Most striking were the identical clones suspended in the green Culture Fluid within the pods.
They looked exactly like the maids following Brian.
Clearly, these were the reserve clones of his maids.
"Finally back. It feels so familiar."
"Number One, make preparations quickly. Begin the Beast Girl experiment."
"Yes, Master."
Number One led the maids into the laboratory and swiftly began preparations.
"Tiger Girl, take your sisters and organize the treasures we brought back."
"We won't be returning for a while after we leave this time."
"Understood, Master."
The Beast Girl corps also dispersed quickly, each attending to their tasks.
Their stay at the base this time wouldn't be long—at most two days before setting off again.
They needed to sort out the treasures and valuable materials they had acquired, as some resources were essential for the production of Beast Girls.
As for Brian, after inspecting the condition of the Culture Fluid surrounding the clones, he made his way to the central experiment table.
This laboratory, hidden beneath the island, wasn't Brian's own creation but the work of his body's parents.
Long before his transmigration, the laboratory had already been set up this way.
After arriving, he merely inherited the knowledge of his predecessor and, using the equipment and materials in the lab, managed to produce the Beast Girls.
That was all—no particularly strange manipulations were involved.
Fortunately, after years of development, the equipment for producing Beast Girls had been standardized.
With sufficient materials, production could be accelerated, minimizing the time required.
With the assistance of the maid helpers, Brian quickly completed the experimental procedures. All that remained was to wait.
The three Zoan-type Devil Fruits obtained this time would successfully manifest in 24 hours.
Brian handed over the final tasks to the maids and left the laboratory to attend to his own affairs.
Time flew by, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Brian and four Beast Girls gathered in the laboratory on time, awaiting the arrival of the three newcomers.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the remaining Devil Fruits in the three cultivation pods were completely digested by the Culture Fluid.
Then the clone body in the cultivation pod began to glow, with white light obscuring all vision.
Crack~
Crack~
Bang~
The left cultivation pod shattered first under the illumination of the white light, liquid spilling all over the floor as a figure slowly stepped down.
Tap, tap, tap~
As the white light faded, it revealed the true appearance of the Beast Girl standing before everyone.
First impression: Loli.
Second impression: Fluffy.
From head to toe, fluffy white wool covered her petite body, with the golden horns on her head exceptionally striking.
"Master, I am Sheep Girl."
A cute, moe voice rang out as Sheep Girl looked at Brian and introduced herself.

Pluck~
Looking at Sheep Girl, Brian plucked a small rice ball from his face and handed it to her.
"Sheep Girl, welcome to our family. Eat this."
"Mm-hmm, okay."
Sheep Girl obediently ate the rice ball.
After she consumed it, Brian immediately felt a clear connection with Sheep Girl.
In his mind, another star lit up on the Beasts' territory map, and his strength improved significantly.
Clenching his fist, Brian felt the terrifying power contained within and was very satisfied.
"Dog Girl, get familiar with Sheep Girl."
"Sure thing, leave it to me, Master."
Sheep Girl was taken to the back by Dog Girl to chat. Both were loli-type Beast Girls with similar personalities, so they had plenty to talk about.
Crack~
Crack~
Sheep Girl's birth seemed to be a signal, as shortly after, new cracking sounds were heard.
This time, it was the right cultivation pod, similarly shattering and emitting the same white light.
However, the energy radiating from this white light was noticeably stronger than when Sheep Girl was born.
Bang~
When the white light reached its peak, the cultivation pod shattered, and mist filled the air.
Flap~
Flap~
A figure with a wingspan of four meters appeared before everyone, occasionally flapping its wings.
The mist was swept away by the wings, revealing the Beast Girl's true form.
Her entire body was green, like jade.
The four-meter-wide figure seen earlier was the full wingspan of this Beast Girl.
These wings replaced the Beast Girl's hands, while her lower body took the shape of dragon claws.
Aside from her revealing attire, the green tail behind her was equally eye-catching.
"Wyvern Girl, greets Master!"
Ancient Zoan-type Beast Girl · Wyvern Girl, present!
Her onee-san aura was instantly maxed out. This Beast Girl born from the ancient Dragon-type Devil Fruit was incredibly captivating.
The arrogant draconic wildness she exuded gave her an intimidating presence akin to Conqueror's Haki.
"Excellent. Your strength truly lives up to the name Wyvern."
In Brian's perception, Wyvern Girl's strength, as expected, firmly placed her at Vice Admiral level.
She even reached mid-tier Vice Admiral strength, which pleasantly surprised Brian.
"Thank you for the praise, Master. I still need more training to become even stronger."
"Mm. Tiger Girl, you will later teach Wyvern Girl the Six Styles and Haki so she can master them as soon as possible."
"Understood, Master."
"Wyvern Sister, I'll teach you later."
"Alright then, Tiger Girl little sister."
Tiger Girl clearly held some obvious hostility toward Wyvern Girl. As their hands clasped together, veins bulged prominently.
After competing against each other, Tiger Girl was directly defeated and honestly acknowledged the other as her elder sister.
Since ancient times, the rivalry between dragons and tigers has been customary, and this tradition has been somewhat inherited by these Beast Girls.
Watching this scene, Brian began to foresee the competitive dynamics that would arise when the number of Beast Girls increased in the future.
Dragon Dragon Fruits were the most abundant among the Ancient Types, while Cat Cat Fruits were clearly much fewer.
Moreover, it wasn't just limited to these two categories. In the future, internal competition would be unavoidable among the Snake Girl lineage, Sheep Girl lineage, and others.
"When that time truly comes, the Dragon Girls will likely continue to hold the upper hand."
"Never mind, internal competition is also a good thing. After all, with me around, things won't descend into chaos."
