Arceus' Pirate Journey

The singer did not stop, but simply bowed to her, something he did often, judging by his skill in the movements.

The sky was getting darker and darker. Although the lighting equipment in Soap Bubble Park had been turned on, there were fewer and fewer people in the park. The people in front of the singer walked and stopped, and now the people who wanted to listen to him sing gradually left. Only Yamato and the others were still sitting in the front.

"Little sister, do you like listening to me sing?"

"It sounds great. You sing very well. Better than Uncle Quinn."

"It sounds good... That's a really good review... But I'm sorry, little sister, today's performance is over. If you want to listen, you can only come back tomorrow."

Logically speaking, with a financial sponsor like Yamato, he should sing a little longer, but he still has work to do during the day, and his salary will be deducted if he is absent. In order to prepare for tomorrow's work, he must rest.

However, he looked at his old watch again and found that it was still early. The income he could earn from working hard for a day was only about 10,000 Baileys. It would be inappropriate to end it directly in the face of such a rich sponsor.

"This is a special performance prepared for you. Are there any songs you want to hear?"

He really needed money, and if Yamato was happy, it would be best to give him more rewards. He didn't have any bad intentions. Although he was in urgent need of money and there was a child in front of him with a huge sum of money, he chose to exchange labor for money.

This is the promise he made to others. His name is Gild Tezulo, who will be the golden emperor who controls a lot of money in the world in the future, but now he is still a young man working hard for his ideals.

"Just sing the song you are best at."

"The song I am best at... is probably this one."

After adjusting the strings of the guitar, Taizulo sang the song he was most familiar with, but Yamato's expression was a little wrong. The power of Viridian allowed her to communicate freely with Pokémon, but the power it brought was far more than that.

Under the influence of the power of Changpan, she became more sensitive to other people's emotions, and singing was a link that could convey emotions, and she heard something different from it.

"Brother, you seem to be worried. Are you thinking about someone?"

Many people gave him money during his singing days, but there were only a handful of people like Yamato who stayed with him until the end and said that he sang well.

But there is only one person who can hear his thoughts-Stella, which is also the reason why he works so hard to make money.

"That's a long story, do you want to hear it?"

Yamato's act of hearing his thoughts seemed to touch his heart. This was the second time he told others about his experience, and the listeners were a group of children.

19 years ago, he was born into a not very happy family. His father was a gambler and his mother was an alcoholic. One was addicted to gambling and the other was addicted to alcohol.

As an alcoholic and a gambler, his family was naturally very poor. Because of poverty, he was ostracized by his peers. One day, he passed by a mobile opera house, and the singing inside attracted him. Being able to enter the venue to watch the performance became his original dream.

He wanted to watch the performances and also wanted to be as eye-catching as the stars on the stage.

When he was 12 years old, his gambling-addicted father unfortunately died of illness. Although his father was a gambler, he was also the main source of income for the family, which made the already poor family even worse off.

After that, his mother continued to drink every day, and began to dislike Tezulo's singing, and then strictly forbade him to continue singing. In this environment, the 12-year-old Tezulo ran away from home.

However, at the age of 12, he could not support himself, so he started stealing. Through the stolen money, he got to know a lot of people, and after that he thought he had made friends.

It was natural that he would not learn any good things by following a group of cheating friends, and like his father, he also became addicted to the bad habit of gambling.

Nine times out of ten, you lose when gambling. The one time you win is probably because someone gave it to you when they fished for you. Trapped in the abyss of gambling, Taizuolo is almost following in his father's footsteps.

When he was sixteen, he lost all his money in the casino. Human trafficking had always existed here, so he was caught by human traffickers in the casino, who planned to sell him.

At this time, all the friends in his mind abandoned him one after another, and no one cared about his life or death. He knew what would happen if he was caught by human traffickers, so he fought back desperately.

Although he was severely beaten, he finally escaped. In his panic, he didn't even look at the road and ran directly to the human trafficking store, where he met his life's salvation - Stella.

She was a woman who was captured as a slave. Although she was treated as a commodity in an iron cage, she did not give up her desire for life.

Although they were separated by an iron cage, they had a very happy chat. Tezuolo sang a song for Stella, and he received praise from others for the first time.

From then on, he was determined to give Stella freedom, so he started working hard to make money.

During the day he would work at the shipyard in Chambord, where the wages were the highest, and at night he would come here to sing, but he never did anything illegal again.

This was the agreement between him and Stella that he would make money through legal means.

Stella is a very expensive "commodity" in the human trafficking store, which is both a good thing and a bad thing for Tezulo.

The high price meant he didn't have to worry about Stella being bought easily, but conversely, it was also very difficult to save enough money.

For nearly three years, he worked day and night, saved every penny by living frugally, and now he is very close to his goal.

Chapter 264: False Wealth Should Not Be Revealed

"Lord Arceus, aren't you going to take care of them?"

"People grow up. At this age, they should have their own judgment. If there is no danger, don't intervene."

It seemed that there was no one else around Yamato and the others, but there was more than one pair of eyes watching them. If Taizuro really had any ideas, then his end would be very miserable.

He is not the Golden Emperor who turned evil and cultivated the fruit to awakening. He is just an ordinary person. Such a person doesn't even need Olga or Inlisabeth to take action. He can't even beat the current Yamato. Kaido's finger is still very valuable.

They are not puppets and cannot always grow up under the control of others. If they do not have their own values ​​​​of right and wrong, they will easily be deceived by others.

Arceus just makes sure that the general direction will not go astray, the rest is up to them.

.....

"That's about it. Anyway, I really need money. Well, it's time to go to bed. Kids, you should go back early too. Shampooland is not safe at night, even in Area 33."

As he said this, he put the money in the violin case into his pocket. Every penny meant he was one step closer to Stella. After nearly three years of getting along, they had already fallen in love with each other.

Yamato's five thousand berries brought him closer and closer to his goal, and one more month of work would be enough.

"Big brother, how much money do you need? She won't be bought by someone else..."

"I still need 30 Baileys, but don't worry, I will have enough money saved by next month."

He had been working hard to make money because he was worried about that kind of thing happening. Although Stella had been staying here for almost three years, he was not sure if there would be any unexpected situations.

"You're lying. You're obviously worried too."

"You are just a kid, don't worry about this kind of thing. Go back as soon as possible. By the way, where are your parents? How dare you leave a few kids here alone?"

After leaving the Ferris wheel, Olga followed them more than 20 meters away. There were a lot of people around them just now, and Tezulo thought their parents were also inside, but now everyone has left, but they are still here.

A child who can casually take out 5000 Baileys cannot be from an ordinary family, and it is obviously unreasonable that there is no one around him who doesn't have one.

"Girl, you didn't steal my money like I did before, did you? That's not good."

“No, that’s all my pocket money. But if it’s 30 Baileys…” Yamato took out his wallet, which looked like a pink Jigglypuff egg. Even the wallet was as round as the Jigglypuff egg because it was full.

After opening it, there seemed to be a stack of egg rolls inside, but they were rolled-up Baileys, ten by ten rolled together, with about 100 million Baileys stuffed inside.

"Here, I'm lending you 30 Baileys. Remember to return it to me next month."

Because she thought it was the right thing to do, she did it. Under the influence of Changpan's power, she believed that the other party was not lying, he was short of money, and she had a lot of money. She thought there was nothing wrong in lending money to the other party to let him do something very important.

What's more, she said she wanted to lend, not give. She didn't think she should support him unconditionally, she just wanted to help him avoid unexpected events.

As for whether Tai Zuo Luo would default on the debt and how to pay it back if he wanted to, she had not thought about it.

This was undoubtedly a windfall for Taizuolo, but after a brief moment of joy, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After taking Yamato's money, he put her wallet back.

He really couldn't refuse the money. Although Stella hadn't been bought in the past, the longer this kind of thing was delayed, the more hidden dangers would become.

But he used to be a thief, and he knew very well how chaotic Shampoo was. In the seemingly stable environment, there were countless people looking for their targets.

Although it is getting dark now and there are fewer people in Soap Bubble Park, it is still unknown whether there are any prying eyes around.

"Didn't your parents tell you that you shouldn't show off your wealth?"

"I did, but it's just pocket money, not a lot of money."

This one sentence blocked all of Tai Zuoluo's next words. The money he had saved by working day and night for a month was just pocket money to her.

The gap between people seems to be too huge, which makes him feel a little frustrated, and at the same time, he also has a greater desire for money.

"Well, go and redeem your big sister, and remember to pay me back next month, or you will be in big trouble."

"I will definitely return the money to you, but... never mind, where do you guys live? I'll take you back. It will be troublesome if it's any later."

"No, there's someone nearby... Hey, where's the person? Maria, Robin, Jack, have any of you seen Sister Olga?"

"She didn't follow us at the beginning... Lord Arceus didn't seem to come either." Jack and Maria didn't notice this, but Robin saw it, and those people from the Beast Fruit also left quietly not long ago.

"Let me take you there. Where do you live?"

"On a boat outside Mangrove 30."

.......

"Lord Arceus, is this really okay?"

Naturally, the only one who could call Olga away was Arceus. Those people from the Beast Fruit were also transferred away by him. The purpose was to test their handling of emergencies.

Kaido had that idea a long time ago, but he wanted to let them experience it directly on the battlefield, so he never implemented it.

So far they had only gone through ordinary training, and now the situation in Shampoodi was just right.

"Are those people still following?"

"Still following. Their identities have been ascertained. They are a group of human traffickers from the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Then let them practice. It's time to see some blood. But don't be careless. You and Yin Lisha Bai follow them and don't get discovered."

"clear."

......

Taizulo escorted Yamato and the others back to Mangrove No. 30, while Olga's illusion allowed her and Yin Lishabe to follow the group almost invisibly, and further away was the group of human traffickers.

Their targets are Yamato and Maria, Robin is just an ordinary human girl, and as for Jack, although he is a fishman, he doesn't look like a fishman and outsiders can't tell that at all.

Yamato and Maria, two rare creatures with outstanding looks and horns on their heads, naturally attracted the attention of the human traffickers.

Although they are quite aggressive, they are not so aggressive as to kidnap people in front of everyone, so they have been waiting from daytime until now, just to find an opportunity.

The people who followed them left one after another, and now only Taizuolo was left. This was an opportunity for them...

Chapter 265: The First Battle of the New Generation

"Boss, aren't we going to take action yet?"

"Wait a little longer. The Soap Bubble Park is too chaotic. It's already dark now. We can start after they go out. This is a rare and high-quality product. It's a big fat sheep."

Young and beautiful girls are the most popular in the human market here, not to mention people like Yamato who carry huge sums of money. After selling the people, he can also find a way to extort a large ransom from their families. This is his idea.

Human trafficking organizations are spread across every corner of the ocean, but these people do not have a unified organization, and the quality and strength of their members vary.

There are fish-man scum who kidnap their own kind, there are weak and fragile wastes, and there are elite human traffickers who are powerful enough to kidnap people on the Nine Snakes ship.

There is also Sister Carmelo who cooperates with the World Government and uses a series of means to deceive the giants. In a sense, these people can be said to be the second largest organization after the photographer group.

Some weak ones are inevitable. There are stains on every ship, and there are alternative existences on every ship, including but not limited to the photographer who forgot to remove the lens cap and Buggy the clown, a crew member of One Piece.

There was no sign of worry on Yamato's face. He was even in the mood to see what differences there were in the Sabaody Archipelago at night. The same was true for Jack and Maria.

Robin was not as calm as the others, but due to the influence of emotions, she was not too worried about such things.

Arceus's behavior along the way was inconsistent with his sudden disappearance. She felt that Arceus should be watching them in some corner.

But it was different for Tezulo. He didn't know why these four children were so careless. Although Maria and Jack could be considered according to the standards of giants when they grew up, their size was enough to be called little giants.

However, they have not yet reflected this point. It was only after puberty that they began to grow rapidly and reached their current height of more than six meters. Today, Jack and Maria look only about thirteen or fourteen years old.

After they left Soap Bubble Park, the lights around them dimmed. During the day, only some areas of the Chabaody Archipelago were lawless areas, but at night, the influence of the lawless areas would expand outward.

Armed fights, illegal transactions, these things were happening quietly in the shadows, and as their location reached the red tree junction, trouble also arrived.

"Run! There are marines patrolling the civilian street at No. 31! Those people don't dare to arrest people in front of the marines!"

Although the population trade in the Sabaody Archipelago is right in front of the navy, and they don't care about those things and have to help maintain order there, the navy still has a bottom line.

They could not bear to have others captured as slaves in front of them. At this time, they were at the junction of mangrove No. 33 and mangrove No. 32, but the Chabaoti Archipelago was a circle, not a straight line.

There is more than one mangrove connected to mangrove No. 33. It is not difficult to reach the navy patrol area from here. However, the human traffickers have naturally thought of what he can think of. They are a gang, and there are human traffickers approaching from several directions where they can escape.

"Boy, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or you may get into trouble..."

An obese human trafficker threatened Taizuolo, but before he could finish his words he was slapped in the face by the person in front of him.

"Idiot! So many people have surrounded this place, and you still want to let him go?? Of course we should catch them all together! It's not like the man can't be sold for money!

Their main targets were Yamato and Maria, but since they had already surrounded them, there was no reason to let half of them go, so he wanted to capture them all.

"Boy, you can't blame us for falling into our trap. If you don't resist now, you will suffer less. We will find a good buyer for you."

A hit on the face would affect the selling price. Most of the traffickers have weapons like ropes and bags. If the terrain here was not so open, they would probably use anesthetic gas directly.

"There's nothing I can do, little girls. I can't take care of you anymore. We'll try to run away separately. It's up to you whether you can get away or find someone to help you."
