Arceus' Pirate Journey

This is also the reason why some of the ancient giant experimental subjects today look like humans, while others look more like beasts.

The "successful example" of King Yanwu explains everything. Caesar was conducting his crazy experiments, and MADS's private experiments were of course illegal, but when they were recruited, everything became different.

Never mind legality, the test subjects they needed were all provided by the world government, but general animal experiments not only failed to produce results, but made things worse.

Caesar didn't believe that his technology was inferior to Quinn's, so he firmly believed that there was a problem with the experimental subjects. Whether it was wild boars, monkeys, or combining animals with humans, Caesar's experiments had made no progress.

Not long ago, he thought of the rare race, the Fur Tribe, a perfect combination of humans and animals. In his opinion, the Fur Tribe just met his requirements.

Originally, his experimental subjects were provided by the World Government. Whether they were prisoners or slaves, he had almost as many as he wanted. However, the Minks were an exception. This race was too rare to be found in the outside world.

This was not a problem that Caesar had to consider. He just put forward his own needs. In order to ensure the success of his experiment, the World Government specially sent out this ship to search for Zuo Wu.

Although the outside world cannot find the lone Mink tribe members, the life cards can still be found by going to Zuowu. Those were seized from the captured Mink tribe members in the past. The life cards will not disappear easily, so they have been passed down.

It is not difficult to search for this with the power of the World Government itself. As for why they do not hang the flag, it is because the flag of the World Government will not have any effect in the New World.

It has a powerful deterrent effect on the four seas, but in the eyes of those lawless people in the New World, it is not a deterrent, but an opportunity to make a name for themselves, and robbing their ships is almost an honor.

This is the current situation of the New World. For example, if the World Government's ships want to pass through Whitebeard's territory, the most effective way is not to have heavy escorts, but to pay a toll to Whitebeard.

"Judging from the reaction of the life card, we are not far from there. Get ready. Our goal is to capture the experimental subject, not to go to war with the Minks."

"clear."

"Well, let me repeat the mission requirements. Elderly, children, men and women, try to capture two or three of each suitable sample. The Pig Fur Tribe is the highest priority."

This is because of King Yanwu. Caesar believes that there must be a reason why Quinn chose the pig.

"Don't make a commotion over this. Let's fight quickly and decisively. It will be difficult to deal with the Minks if they react. Although we chose this time on purpose, the fighting power of the Minks cannot be underestimated."

"Don't worry, Captain. The higher-ups found that fruit specifically to target the Minks."

"It's always better to be careful. Everyone, take a rest. We will be in contact with them soon."

He estimated that he would arrive in Zuowu on New Year's Day, which happened to be a new moon. It was no secret that the moon was a lion under a full moon. They did not want to seek death, so they deliberately chose the day of the new moon.

It has not been verified whether the moon other than the full moon will affect the fighting power of the Minks, but according to the calculation that the fighting power of the Minks is strongest during the full moon, it is always right to take action during the new moon.

The World Government's ships are gradually approaching Zuowu, and Setsuna is carrying out her gift-giving activity in Zuowu. Although she cannot give gifts to all 20,000 people, she has prepared something for all her acquaintances.

For example, the brand new medical tools for Doctor Sanyang, the wool shears for Yang Jisihan, and the various furniture that made her house look brand new. The shaved ice made by the ice maker has made Wanda attract the attention of all her peers.

Her salt was temporarily handed over to Wanda, and Frostmilk brought a lot of fun to the fur tribe here.

The so-called winning weapon of Quinn in Zeraora's backpack was given to Hatch. He was nowhere to be seen during the day, and who knows if he was showing off somewhere with a cigar.

A large proportion of the Fur Tribe are smokers, and high-quality tobacco is always popular; after all, it is a rare commodity that can only be brought back by those who have gone out.

On New Year's Day, a fireworks competition was held on Onigashima as in previous years, and Zuowu also began its own celebrations after the second rain of grace. A grand bonfire was lit in the center of Claudu, and a slightly quaint bonfire party was held here.

Setsuna stared at the people nearby who were trying to "Karuqiu" with Zeraora, like a wolf protecting its food. After being away for nine years, her ideas have changed a lot.

But there is a saying that house thieves are hard to guard against. She guarded against outsiders but not her mother and sister. After all, in the eyes of the traditional fur tribe, this is just a greeting.

At the foot of the giant elephant, dozens of CP agents carrying anesthetics and nets were ready to travel.

"Infiltration begins, everyone keep silent." As he spoke, his body began to spread out. A large black cloud appeared at his feet. Dozens of his men were engulfed by the cloud and floated silently upwards.

Although they can use the Moon Step, it will make a sound similar to a sonic boom when used, which can easily alert the target, so he chose to use his own ability to take them up.

The Nature-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit, the user's body can be transformed into clouds. It is a very powerful fruit. It is with the help of this fruit that he has come to where he is today.

Coupled with the fact that they have a new ability user specially prepared by the World Government, the success rate of their operation this time is very high.

It's just that this person is more cautious, so he chose the day of the new moon. Today is also New Year, so it seems that the other party's vigilance will be reduced a lot.

When the pirates are reveling, they will still leave a few sober guards, but the Minks don't. The back of the Elephant Lord is even safer than Fishman Island. Until this group of people approached the gate of the Furry Principality, they were not discovered.

The sea fish and sea beasts roasting on the campfire suppressed the sense of smell of the Mink Tribe. They quietly released an anesthetic gas, which quickly spread under the influence of the wind. The Millennium Dragon, which was resting, was the first to notice the gas.

"Roar!" The roar attracted a lot of people's attention, but the anesthetics had already begun to take effect, and many fur tribesmen staggered to the ground.

Chapter 280: Sweet Character Scene, "Unreliable" Caesar

"What's going on?! There's an enemy!

"The fur tribe who discovered the abnormality in the distance instinctively used their sense of smell to search for the enemy in the dark, but this accelerated the inhalation of the anesthetic and they also fell to the ground and fell asleep.

That was Caesar's special anesthetic capture agent, which was said to be a powerful anesthetic that could even knock down giants. The fur tribe fell down in large numbers, and the originally lively venue suddenly changed dramatically.

However, nothing happened in Zeraora near the central bonfire, because the characteristic of Setsuna's Frostmilk Fairy is Sweet Curtain, which prevents all friendly units within a certain range from falling asleep.

These people it considered to be friends were considered by it as allies by default, so Caesar's anesthetic was completely ineffective here.

Their original plan was to secretly kidnap a few people while the Minks were sleeping, but the Minks' carnival made them change their action plan. Caesar's talent in this aspect far exceeded that in other aspects, so it would be a good idea to knock down the Minks and then slowly select suitable experimental subjects.

Their goal was to capture them alive; the dead Minks were of no value to them, but the fact that there were more than a hundred Minks still conscious in the middle area was a little surprising.

"That Caesar guy is really unreliable. There are still so many Fur Tribe members who are not affected."

"Maybe these few are stronger, but it's better this way. With more test subjects, it will be harder for that guy to pass the blame."

During this period, Caesar kept throwing all the problems at them, saying that the experimental subjects had flaws or that the types of experimental subjects were incomplete. He just refused to admit his own technical problems.

However, they were not good at scientific experiments, and it was difficult for them to refute that guy. After all, some of his abilities were valued by the government.

With the changes in the original plan, they planned to take away more Mink Tribe. After all, they had put in so much effort that they naturally had to take away enough at one time.

As a large number of Fur Tribe members fell asleep due to the effects of the anesthetic gas, they also stood up directly, because they saw that the Fur Tribe members in the distance were also affected, and they did not expect that there would be such a group of alternative people.

Looking at these enemies, Yangjisi Khan was extremely angry.

"Damn it... The Musketeers are ready to meet the enemy! The Knights protect the people!"

There were too many fur tribe members to gather around the same campfire, so more than one fire was lit.

The Musketeers and the Knights belonged to a group with a higher status among the Minks. As a foreign guest, Zeraora also had a high status, so they were all near the central campfire, relying on the characteristics of the Frostmilk Fairy to not be affected by the anesthetic potion.

Yangjisi Khan also made his own orders. The Musketeers and the Knights were both elite warriors among the Fur Tribe, but they usually appeared in different locations. The Knights guarded the Whale Forest, while the Musketeers were more active in Claudu.

Setsuna and Zeraora also stood up, but were stopped by Yang Jisi Khan.

"There's no reason to let guests fight. Setsuna, you too, you finally got home after all these years, just stay here quietly."

Then he picked up the scepter he carried with him, and after removing some things, the scepter turned into a copper hammer the size of a watermelon, and he waved it in his hand at high speed, and a cyclone soon appeared in his hand.

"Yangji Mianmianfeng!"

Although Guomin fainted, his body was stable. It was obvious that he had been drugged and he wanted to blow those things away.

"Wow!" A strong wind swept across the road ahead, but did not cause any impact. Although the anesthetic made by Caesar was powerful, it was short-lived. After drugging most of the Fur Tribe, it lost its effect.

"attack!"

Yangjisi Khan's hair seemed to become a lot more fluffy under the effect of static electricity. Lightning spread on his hammer. Yangjisi Khan rushed towards his enemy first, and the members of the musketeers followed closely behind him.

The Mink Tribe of the Knights' Group hid in the darkness, and they went to check on the Mink Tribe farther away.

Except for Yangjisi Khan and several musketeer leaders who were armed with metal weapons, most of the Mink Tribe were unarmed, and metal weapons were also a scarce resource here.

"Please...get it over with quickly. Who knows how long Caesar's anesthetic will last."

He himself claimed that the giants would not be able to wake up in 12 hours, but the current accident made the people led by the World Government begin to question his credibility.

In their view, these people were the last remaining strength of the Mink Tribe. As long as they were dealt with, the entire Mink Tribe would be at their mercy.

But just as he finished speaking, Yangjisi Khan had already smashed his head with a hammer. As the hammer flashed past, his head exploded with a bang, turning into a cloud and exploding around.

"Nature Department...Who are you and why are you attacking Zuo Wu!?"

Yang Jisi Khan turned around and swung the hammer. This time the hammer had turned black. Zuo Wushang had a systematic method of practicing domineering power. As the Duke here, he would naturally use domineering power.

The people from the World Government did not answer him, but just waved their hands and released large clouds. Just when Yangjisi Khan thought that the clouds were vulnerable, his hammer failed to disperse the clouds.

"winter!"

Although it is a cloud, it is as hard as iron. This is the iron cloud that only exists on Sky Island. It is also one of the elements of nature and is within the development direction of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit.

Two brief encounters made Yangjisi Khan realize that this enemy was not easy to deal with, but his offensive became more intense. If he retreated, who would protect the other people in Zuowu?

As for the others, Zuo Wu's fighters are temporarily at an advantage. Although those are agents trained by the government, not all of them can reach the level of CP0 and CP9. Many of them have not even learned all six styles, and most of them only know two or three styles.

The Fur Tribe's attacks are accompanied by lightning, which greatly enhances their own combat power.

Hatch was unusually energetic today, apparently because his future son-in-law was watching him from behind. He wanted to show his strength, and after knocking down the opponent using an iron block with one punch, he began to look for his next target.

He soon found his target, a shirtless man about four meters tall, and many Fur Tribe warriors had fallen beside him.

Seeing that he had his back to him, Hatch thought he had found his opportunity. After a short sprint, he raised his knife and slashed at his neck. The knife was a high-quality weapon made in Wano Country, a gift from Setsuna to him.

“Sizzle…”

The blade in mid-air was wrapped in lightning and chopped towards the man's neck, but he did not succeed. The blade hit him just like it had hit the iron block before, and had no effect. But the problem was that this time even the lightning was ineffective.

The man backhanded and hit Hutch on the head, knocking him flying.

He is the person with special abilities prepared by the World Government specifically to target the Minks. He is a user of the superhuman Accumulator-Acumulator Fruit and can turn himself into a battery-like existence, making all electric shocks of the Minks ineffective.

Electricity, flames, hurricanes, these intangible things are all within his storage range. The disadvantage is that he cannot store the power of a violent attack itself.

Therefore, when selecting a user, the World Government specifically looked for such a person with the ability to act like a meat shield. He is a CP agent who specializes in iron blocks and usually performs the work of a bodyguard.

This ability, when combined with its own physique, can complement each other and make up for the iron block's lack of resistance to elemental attacks.

Chapter 281: He who cannot protect his people is not worthy of being king

There are three reasons for the Fur Tribe's strong combat power: the powerful outburst of the Moon Lion under the full moon, the lightning attack attached by static electricity generated by their own fur, and the enhancement brought by the orcs' physique.

It was now a new moon, with only a faint crescent left in the sky. The Minks could not use their biggest trump card, and their own physical fitness did not have much advantage over these trained agents.

The ability of each person to attack with elements is their last trump card, and the appearance of the user of the Saving-Saving Fruit has taken away the Mink Tribe's last card.

Originally, the Minks had the numerical advantage in the battle against the enemy, but Caesar's anesthetic gas put most of them to sleep, thus offsetting the numerical difference.

All the Minks are soldiers, no matter they are children or the elderly. Even those who have not been trained are no weaker than ordinary adult human soldiers. This is why the people of the World Government planned to sneak in and fight in the first place, but they changed their tactics only because of the Minks' celebration.

"asshole..."

Hatch shook his head. The blow made him dizzy and his steps became weaker, but he still stood up using the knife to support his body.

"It's a really good knife. This girl's gift is really nice."

The refined weapons mixed with distilled iron ore have not yet bent their blades. Even in the outside world, this is a very expensive weapon, not to mention in Zuowu where the mineral is scarce.

"Zi la la~"

"I want to see if you are really not afraid of electricity!" Hatch's knife was entangled by lightning again, and he rushed towards the opponent with the power of his hind legs.

And the Fur Tribe that attacked with the ability user was not just Hutch. The Fur Tribe still had the advantage in numbers, and many weaker agents had been defeated.

The Minks, who had freed up their hands, could naturally see who the biggest threat was. Apart from the leader that Yangjis Khan was fighting, this big guy was the most difficult to deal with. The defeated Minks at his feet were evidence of this.

"Iron Fist, Heavy Hammer!"

The principle of the iron block is to accelerate blood flow in the body, thereby making the muscles and skin as hard as steel. In most cases, the effect of the iron block is sufficient.

At the very least, it can deceive yourself and make you believe that you can block the enemy's attack, thus acting as a meat shield.

However, the disadvantage of the iron block is that when it is activated, the muscles are in a tense state and cannot move freely, and the movements are generally very stiff. But this is not insurmountable. After training, it is also possible to move freely while maintaining the iron block state.

This CP agent who specialized in iron blocks naturally did this. Facing the attacking fur tribe members, an invisible wave was released to the surroundings with him as the center. Then, the fur of the fur tribe members, which had stood up due to static electricity, softened one after another.

There was also a battery-like icon on his chest, and the progress of the energy bar on it showed his energy storage limit.

"Boom!" He smashed a big hole on the ground and even knocked a Fur Tribe member to the side.

However, Yang Jisi Khan's natural Yunyun Fruit made it very difficult for him to deal with it. Although Haki could touch the body of a natural ability user, the natural type was not without ways to deal with it.

When the Observation Haki senses the position that the opponent is going to attack, that part of the body will be dispersed in advance. Naturally, the domineering aura will not be effective if there is no contact.

"Don't waste your energy. You are no match for me. We only need a dozen Mink Tribe members. Why don't you give up resistance? The result won't change anyway. So why increase casualties?"

"You are dreaming! If I let you take my people away like this, how can I be worthy of being the king of Zuowu!"

The copper hammer in his hand created gusts of air, and Yang Jisi Khan seized the opportunity to throw his copper hammer, but it had no effect except for creating a cloud of air on the opponent's body. However, Yang Jisi Khan's target was not him, but the user of the ability of the Accumulation Fruit.

The other ability user restrained the abilities of the Fur Tribe too much. The Fur Tribe also consumes physical energy to generate electricity. Although he could not store the power of his fists, he could convert the absorbed energy into his own physical strength. As a result, he gained more and more the upper hand in the battle.

So Yangjisi Khan's hammer was originally aimed at him. The solid copper hammer as big as a watermelon carried Yangjisi Khan's own strength and hit the back of his head. A man who specialized in iron naturally had no power of observation and hearing, and the hammer hit his head solidly.

Although he was not knocked down by the hammer as his whole body was like a block of iron, he had a big flaw, which gave the fur tribe who besieged him an opportunity.

"You're still thinking about others? What are you going to do without a weapon?"
