Arceus' Pirate Journey

This is also an unspoken rule of Zuowu. The king of Zuowu is not hereditary. The previous king can designate a successor, and those who have opinions can choose to challenge this person.

As long as one can defeat the opponent and gain the recognition of the residents of Zuowu, he can become the new Duke of Zuowu. Compared with unilateral training in Zuowu, people who go out to sea can often become stronger.

Yangjisihan also left Zuowu when he was young, but he left with a few companions after he grew up. It is rare for someone like Shanna to run away from Zuowu on his own without any adult fur tribe members following him.

This is also the reason why Hatch and Ling were worried about her, but did not go out to look for someone who could give her a younger sister. This is also a way for Zuo Wu to grow up.

Therefore, their departure only caused a small stir and had no subsequent impact.

"Sister...sister?"

Wanda was standing behind Ling, looking a little scared of the two strangers appearing in her house.

"Don't be afraid Wanda, that's your sister, you've seen her in the picture."

Although I had never seen it before, after all, we had the same blood, so it didn't take long for me to become familiar with it.

"Alright Setsuna, take your sister back to her room. It's next to your old room. You two should get familiar with each other. We have something we want to ask this Zeraora."

Setsuna's family environment is obviously different from Yamato's. When facing Hatch, she would choose to run away, but under the intimidation of Ling's eyes, she can only return to her room obediently.

The remaining step is a three-court trial. After all, their daughter had been away for nine years and brought a man with her when she came back. It is impossible for the two of them to have no thoughts at all.

Chapter 277: Except for being a little short, it seems to have no disadvantages

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"Shh, play by yourself for a while, sister has something to do."

Shanna took out a small model of a ship from her bag. There were also quite a few things in her package, mainly some delicate objects. Being born in Zuowu, she knew better what Zuowu needed.

Life here is very primitive. Because the Furry Principality is located on the back of the elephant master, there are no minerals here. Rocks and soil are scarce resources. This is also the reason why the houses in the Furry Principality are very old.

These stone houses have been passed down from a long time ago. Sometimes the elephant owner would roll up some soil and stones and throw them on his back when passing by the island. That is one of the sources of Zuowu soil and seeds.

After all, even birds have become extremely rare at this altitude, so there is naturally no extra metal or stone to make models.

The most perfect craft of Zuowu is probably to use sea sand to burn glass.

The huge body of the elephant king will stir up the mud and sand on the seabed when it moves. When it sprays sea water on its back, it will inevitably stir up mud and sand. The filters on the drainage channels in the Furry Principality will intercept the mud and sand for other uses.

A small toy is enough to attract the child's attention, while she lies on the ground with her ear to the floor listening to what is happening downstairs. The old house does not have good sound insulation, so it is not difficult to eavesdrop on the corners.

......

"How old are you this year."

"19 is old."

Age is a cliché entry point, but Hatch and Ling don't know what to say, as they have never experienced this before. They were childhood sweethearts and grew up together, so it was natural for them to form a family.

The age of Zeraora is also a very mysterious thing. Strictly speaking, he is only 9 years old, which is the time when he was created. But we can't say that, because that would make it a double-carriage mode.

His origin and age were both a mystery, and in the end it was decided to be this number, which was just a few years older than Setsuna.

"About the same age..."

"He's quite handsome, but a little short. I wonder if he can continue to grow taller at this age..."

Hatch and Ling huddled together and whispered, appearance cannot determine everything, but it can influence the first impression, an excellent appearance leaves a very good impression score.

There are many people of normal human height in the Fur Tribe, and some special individuals are also relatively short, such as Doctor Sanyang and the security monkey Naduo.

But most of the male Mink warriors were two meters away, and Hutch himself was two and a half meters tall.

Although the female fur tribe members are obviously shorter than the male ones, Ling is two meters tall. Although she is much shorter than the big guys like Yangjisi Khan, she is also a relatively tall group. Setsuna obviously inherited the genes from both sides.

From this point of view, the 1.8-meter-tall Zeraora is quite inferior.

As for financial resources and property, the Fur Tribe does not value them. Money is of no use to them. A pair of hands willing to work is enough. The fact that they returned to Zuowu with large and small bags also shows that they have considerable financial resources. So they are curious about what the other party is doing in the open sea.

"What have you and Setsuna been doing out there all these years?"

"This... is a pirate."

He didn't avoid this word. After Hatch and Ling's questioning, Setsuna had his own guesses about what they would ask. In the end, most of the Minks who went out to sea became pirates.

This is how the World Government defines most sailors. Without travel permission from a member country, their voyage is not legal. If they do not resist, they will be taken away as lawbreakers. If they successfully resist, they will be labeled pirates.

Yang Jisi Khan also went through the same experience when he was young. Later, Bepo, Pedro, Pokmous, and Jepo, these fur-bearing people who went out to sea, were all pirates. Even if they were not pirates, they all left on the pirate ships.

As for the pirates who can board Zuowu, if there is no conflict, they will also warmly entertain them in exchange for supplies. If those pirates have any special ideas, the Mink Tribe, who are all soldiers, are not a joke.

If they are unlucky enough to come here during a full moon, the Mink Tribe will let them know how terrible the fighting races are.

"Pirates? As expected, Setsuna's personality won't calm down after he goes out to sea. But when did you two meet?"

"We met on an island in the New World more than nine years ago."

"Nine years, so she met you not long after she left?"

"That's right."

"Then what took you so long to come back?"

"I was born in the open sea, and I don't have a life card to return here. I also lost Setsuna's life card. After I found the life card to return here, I was busy, so I only made time this year."

"Is that so... It seems this girl has been hiding a lot of things from us..." Hatch's tone changed after hearing Zeraora's explanation.

There was nothing wrong with Zeraora's answer, but Setsuna forgot to tell Zeraora not to mention the Life Card. The Life Card was the only hope for the Minks who were away from home, so they could not throw this thing away no matter what.

In the original timeline, Cat Viper and Inuarashi boarded Whitebeard's and Roger's ships respectively, and then experienced the great war in Wano Country. Even so, no cards were lost.

Therefore, the loss of the Mink Tribe's life card means that something extremely dangerous has happened.

At this time, there was a sound of winter from their roof, and it seemed that something fell to the ground. Ling took a look at the ceiling and roughly understood what was going on.

"We are not stubborn people, and we won't object to what Setsuna likes..."

"Wait, Ling, this is too hasty, we don't even know this kid yet!"

"That's Setsuna's own business. Why should we interfere? Are you going to live with him from now on?"

The blood suppression between the Husky and the Mongolian Wolf seemed to be reflected, and the family status of the Setsuna family was evident. After Husky's voice was suppressed, Ling continued to ask: "So I want to confirm what the relationship between you two is."

In the attic, Setsuna's claws were scratching the floor unconsciously, and his tail was shaking, looking a little restless.

"Sister, are you not feeling well?" Wanda, who was standing by, didn't quite understand Shan's strange behavior. Her reaction was as if she had lice on her body.

"Shh, play for a while longer, sister still has things to do."

Although the two of them became more and more familiar with each other over the past nine years, they had never established a relationship. She was not in a position to ask anything, but today Ling asked the question for her.

However, the environment downstairs seemed to have quieted down, which made her, who was eavesdropping upstairs, feel a little itchy.

"We...are definitely dating."

Chapter 278: The Role of the Sister, the Approaching Ship

"Yes! Aww!"

After hearing the affirmative words, she stood up suddenly and her head came into close contact with the table beside her. A series of collision sounds came from upstairs, which also made Hatch and Ling's faces downstairs change several times.

"Hutch, you guys get to know each other better, I'll go up and take a look."

With that, Ling went upstairs, leaving Hutch and Zeraora together. As the new male in the family, and a feline in a canine family, they really needed to have a good chat.

And upstairs, she heard the approaching footsteps. An innate suppression belonging to her blood gradually spread to her. Looking at the table that she had overturned and the confused Wanda, she suddenly had an idea.

"Wanda, is the food delicious?"

"good to eat."

"I didn't bring much this time. I'll bring you more delicious food in the future, but how about doing your sister a favor now?"

"How can I help you?"

“Like this, like this…”

Setsuna spoke very quickly, and before Wanda understood, he took it as her agreement to his terms, then moved her to a suitable location. Just as she had set up the crime scene, Ling came up.

"Setsuna, I haven't seen you for so many years, you really haven't..."

She thought that Setsuna had caused some trouble, but when she came up, she saw Wanda standing in the middle of a bag of snacks and gift boxes, and Setsuna who was sorting things out.

"what happened?"

"Wanda accidentally pulled my backpack over. It's no big deal. I'll pack it up right away. Did you guys have a good chat with Zeraora?"

It seems that there are no loopholes, but in fact it is full of loopholes. Yi Ling knows that Wanda is not a person with strong curiosity, but Wanda agreed to what Setsuna said.

This was the way that Shanshan thought of on the spur of the moment to pass the buck. It was much better than being so impulsive even though he was a grown-up. Ling discovered something but didn't expose it. It would be nice if the two sisters had a good relationship.

So she joined in the cleanup and finished cleaning up the place in a few minutes.

"Let's go. You came back so suddenly and dinner isn't ready yet. Looks like we'll have to make two more servings."

While leading them downstairs, Ling said, "Think more about the rationality next time. Although Wanda's strength can pull your package, it is impossible to overturn your table, and everyone heard your scream just now."

"Ah, what are you talking about, Mom?"

"You know what I mean. Forget it this time. Let's go and see how your father gets along with him."

The mother-in-law usually likes her son-in-law more and more. Ling has no complaints about Zeraora, but the same cannot be said for Hatch.

When they appeared downstairs again, the scene was unusually harmonious and weird. Hutch was smoking a cigar as if she was wearing a tights, and she also smelled of alcohol.

Those were the things that Quinn confidently stuffed into Zeraora's backpack. According to him, cigarettes and alcohol would always be useful, and it had to be said that he was right this time.

Also due to the country's location, tobacco and alcohol are also scarce resources in Zuowu. Ordinary tobacco cannot grow in Zuowu at all. The fur tribe here usually smokes dried leaves.

The effects of tobacco were minimal for this group of people with generally freakish physiques, and they really liked that feeling, so the high-end cigars prepared by Quinn made Hutch very interested.

Some of Kaido's supplies were also packed in by Zeraora. Under the attack of cigarettes and alcohol, it only took Hatch a few minutes to become so familiar with Zeraora that they could even exchange clothes.

Exchanging clothes is the highest etiquette of Zuowu towards outsiders. Although Zeraora is also a fur tribe in their eyes, this alternative fur tribe member born in the outer sea is also an outsider and this etiquette applies to him.

This was also the reason why Setsuna wanted to exchange clothes with Zeraora every day for a while. Because of the women's clothes, Zeraora had always refused until she changed into a neutral piece of clothing. Before that, Setsuna was disappointed for a while.

It’s just that there’s a big difference in size between Hatch and Zeraora. Hatch’s clothes are as big as a cloak for Zeraora, while for Hatch, Zeraora’s clothes are just tights.

If it weren't for the convenience of combat, Zeraora's clothes were extremely elastic and Hatch might not have been able to fit into them.

Although it looked a little funny for Hatch to wear clothes that were much smaller than his size, with the fur on his body being pulled together, it indirectly showed that he acknowledged the existence of Zeraora.

"Stop messing around, Hutch, and come get dinner ready."

"Wait, let me help too. I brought back a lot of good things this time. Zeraora, please stop making trouble. Wanda is in your hands."

Zeraora is a culinary black hole. This has been personally confirmed by many people on Ghost Island.

......

Bowls, cutlery, seasonings, dried meat, Setsuna brought back almost everything a family might need for daily life. In addition, there was also a battery and an ice maker. The common problem of the Fur Tribe is that they are afraid of heat, so equipment that can make ice is a treasure to them.

As for the problem of electricity, it is easy to solve. The Fur Tribe has the ability to generate electricity by themselves, and she also brought back a small human-powered generator.

Setsuna ran into the kitchen, leaving Zeraora and Wanda staring at each other. It's not that he has never taken care of a child before. He took care of Setsuna at the beginning and Yamato later. He just didn't expect that he would still be taking care of children in a different place.

And when they just entered the dinner time, the Millennium Dragon outside the door let out a roar, and after he opened the door, a goat fur tribe wearing a crown appeared here.

The contemporary Duke of Zuowu is Yangjisi Khan.

"Your Majesty the Duke."

"Your Majesty the Duke."

"Don't worry about it. I heard that Setsuna is back so I came to see her. In the past few years, there have been news about those two bad boys, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, but there has been no news about Setsuna. It's great that she's back now."

Yangjis Khan took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears. He was just a king who maintained the status quo and had no achievements, but he remembered the name and appearance of every resident of Zuowu.

When Roger came here before, he brought letters from Cat Viper and Inuarashi, so their safety had long been confirmed, only Setsuna had been missing.

While there was laughter and joy on Zuowu, a ship without a flag was sailing on the sea. The sail was pure white without any markings, but from the clothes worn by the people on the ship, it could be seen that these people were subordinates of the World Government.

The leader was looking at the floating life card in his hand. The direction they were heading was Zuowu, and the purpose of their trip was to find more suitable experimental subjects for the research of humanoid weapons.

Chapter 279 Capturing Wild Boar People First

The existence of King Yanwu seemed to remind Caesar, who was in the scientific corps, that the original experiments of the ancient giants were not simple cloning, but gigantic transformation of the human body.

However, most of them lost their sanity during the transformation process. People in the science corps have been arguing about whether to lean towards human form or animal form. Vegapunk has not made a conclusion on such a small matter, so it is difficult for them to convince each other.
