Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Don't move. Even if you have the ability to resist, this girl doesn't."
Kawamatsu wanted to resist, but he finally gave up when he saw the blade already on Kozuki Hiwa's neck.
Chapter 311 Leisurely VIP Ward
At the beginning of 1502, Wano Country underwent earth-shaking changes overnight. Compared with the Wano Country Rebellion that occurred in the original timeline, this event actually occurred earlier.
Most of the battles on various battlefields have ended, and the original ruling class of Wano Country has completely disappeared. Whether it was the acting shogun Kurozumi Orochi, the former shogun's successor Kozuki Oden, or the daimyos of various villages, all died in the battle at the banquet.
Except for the big snake, they all have strong fighting power, and that is why they all have to die here.
They are all staunch supporters of the Kozuki family, possess certain military power and appeal, and are also the original leadership class. They do not need to appear in the future Wano Country.
This is a major change, and since we are doing it, we must do it cleanly.
However, the fighting on the front battlefield was over, but there were two places that became extremely busy. One of them was the Rabbit Bowl Quarry guarded by Babanuki. In addition to those who died in the battle, there were also a large number of people captured.
Not everyone can fight to the death when they are bound to lose. After the daimyo's trusted subordinates were killed by the gift givers, most of the remaining people chose to surrender after holding out for a while.
Many cells in Tuwan Quarry were vacated due to the prison break, but it was still filled with new arrivals. Finally, King Yanwu was transferred here to maintain order.
Another busy place was the Pokémon Center, where the doctors had their busiest night in years.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! He needs emergency surgery! Dr. Dolores, please perform the surgery!"
"Send the burned ones to the basement physiotherapy room! The herbal bath for the flower therapy ring is ready, don't waste time, hurry up!"
The wounded pirates and the accidentally injured residents of the Flower City have already filled the hall here. The defeated have no such treatment. They are just given a few rolls of bandages and told to fend for themselves.
There were no extra resources to allocate to them at this time. Of course, although the situation below was quite tense, the situation on the top floor of the hospital was completely different. In the VIP ward, Yamato, Maria and Jack were forced to stay in the hospital for observation.
"Well... I think I just had a scratch..."
Jack always felt a little uneasy when looking at those strange medical instruments. He was indeed injured, but he felt that it was only a flesh wound.
"The human body's perception can be deceiving, so Jack, just be at ease and accept the examination. This is Mr. Arceus' arrangement. The three of you will have to stay here for three days."
Of course, the doctors and nurses here felt that this was unnecessary. Jack's test report had already come out. The physique of the fishman was inherently stronger than that of humans. Although there were injuries, they were all flesh wounds, and some of the shallower wounds had already healed.
Maria is similar. Although she is not a fishman, she is a person with special abilities and her self-healing ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but no one raised any objections.
Although the current medical model of the Pokémon Center is similar to that of a public hospital, it is actually a purely private hospital. From top to bottom, everything about this hospital, whether it is staff recruitment or medical equipment and drug resources, is handled solely by Pokémon.
This naturally includes their salaries. Now that there are orders from above, they naturally have to follow them. Even if the medical staff below is very short, this group of people still only needs to be responsible for these few people.
"But...where is Yamato?"
Yamato's place had always been empty. The three of them went to check together, but two of them had already returned, but Yamato still hadn't.
Although Yamato fought the most fiercely in the previous battle, she actually suffered the least injuries due to her physical condition. The physical condition of a super rookie is no joke.
Logically speaking, she should have returned a long time ago.
"Ms. Yamato has some other tests to do and will be back soon. You two can do the last test first and then we can wrap up today."
As she spoke, she took out two questionnaires. Unlike other doctors, this was a professional psychologist whose task was to check their combat mental state.
Jack and Maria looked at each other, and they suddenly felt that this was more tiring than fighting.
At the same time, Yamato had similar thoughts. Looking at the ears of the doll attached to her body and some other things that looked like wires, her mind was a little confused.
"Is this really what my godfather wants?"
"Of course, a comprehensive physical examination. By the way, Miss Yamato, here is the questionnaire. Please fill it out. There are twelve more examinations to complete."
"How's the Jigglypuff?"
"It's fine now, you'll be able to see it after you check it out."
At the urging of several doctors, Yamato completed the so-called various examinations with a confused look on her face. When she returned to the ward, the fatigue on her face was even greater than when she was fighting.
"I'm back..."
Lying on the so-called hospital bed, Yamato held up her own Frost Milk Fairy and began to think about life. Now she began to feel that caring too much was not a good thing.
The doctors had already left. Overly detailed examinations had confirmed that there was nothing wrong with their bodies. In that case, there was no need for them to stay here any longer. After leaving one person on duty, they joined the rescue efforts below.
"Congratulations on finishing the examination, but we still have to stay here for three days."
"Three days?! That's bad... No, that's great!"
Yamato originally thought this was a very bad thing, but after thinking about it carefully, this meant that he would not have to face Kaido's training for three days. No matter how you look at it, it was a good thing, so he accepted it.
But she did not rest quietly, but leaned against the window and looked at the bustling crowd below.
"Maria, Jack, why are you saying this?"
"what why?"
"Why did you start a fight? We were living pretty well before, why didn't we continue like this?"
She didn't understand why such a meaningless fight had to happen, in her opinion it was completely unnecessary.
"I don't know, but if they want to be enemies, just defeat them all." Yamato's words made them think briefly, but Jack quickly gave up thinking about this problem.
The enemy must be defeated, and since you have chosen to be the enemy, the reason does not matter.
"I think Jack is right. Just beat them. Why think so much?"
This reason was not enough to convince Yamato, but when she wanted to continue arguing, Chansey's voice came from behind her.
"lucky!"
It was almost dawn now, so they had not slept all night and were still leaning against the window. In Jilidan's eyes, this was an absolute danger signal.
Chapter 312: Puppet or Oiran?
Although one of the Chanterskins had been shot before, it was basically fine now thanks to Tokiwa's power and the healing of the other Chanterskins. Except for a spot on its body that had become lighter in color, it didn't look injured at all.
The mark will slowly disappear after a while. At Jigglypuff's request, Yamato obediently lay back on the bed.
As they no longer cared about the outside world, a slight sense of fatigue also appeared in the body, and there was no need to sing, and snoring soon sounded in the ward.
Everything that happened in Wano Country at night was seen by Sky Island above. Sky Island's height was just right for watching the fireworks below from a completely new perspective.
However, this time the fireworks were replaced by explosions and flames, and the burning Flower Capital and Oden Castle attracted the attention of the scholars above.
"What's going on? Has anyone invaded here?"
At the edge of Sky Island, Robin asked Sauro beside him.
“Impossible. There are not many forces that can do this nowadays. Our tracks have not been exposed, otherwise something would have happened long ago. In this case, it is impossible that they are from the World Government or the Navy.
As for the pirates... the only pirates capable of attacking the Beast Base are Whitebeard and Big Mom, but Big Mom and the Beasts have a good trading relationship, and Whitebeard will not take the initiative to do such a thing. At this time... I'm afraid it's an internal conflict."
According to Sauro's understanding of the situation in the ocean, the Beasts Pirates' position in the New World has basically been consolidated. Although the Beasts Pirates were established not overnight, Kaido is the youngest among the many great pirates.
Considering his network of relationships, no one should attack this place. Excluding external enemies, the only possible scenario is internal strife. Moreover, this scale is probably not an internal strife of the pirate group, but a conflict between the occupying country and the beasts.
"Don't worry Robin, your friends will be fine. These people can't handle the beasts."
As if seeing that Robin was worried about the situation below, Sauro comforted Robin, saying that most of the countries and islands in the New World rely on other pirate groups to ensure their own safety.
Apart from the Giant Country, there are only a handful of countries that can rely on their own national strength to ensure national security.
"But this can also be considered as... witnessing history."
The existence of the sky island is somewhat isolated from the world, and when the Millennium Dragon team left here, they had no way to get down.
In Wano Country, Kaido looked at the things in front of him and rarely showed an expression similar to Yamato's.
"Are you... serious?"
"Nonsense, you don't have any injuries at all, right? You are the savior of the civil strife. Although it's a pity, but in the news released to the public, Kozuki Oden cannot die in your hands."
Quinn was applying plaster to Kaido according to Arceus's order. He had given it a thorough treatment yesterday, but today was different.
"That guy is a good opponent, but his mind is full of Qiao Yin and Boyin. I think he went to Raftel with Roger. I wonder what is there."
"You will know it later. After all, we know the location of the text of the three road signs, and we are only missing the last one. But now you have to perform the last play honestly. Don't you like to listen to plays? You can perform it yourself today."
“It’s troublesome…”
Meanwhile, Kikunosuke and Denjiro are in a room puzzled by the beasts' behavior.
When they were caught previously, they were not tortured but were locked in a room.
After all, the blame for the chaos in Wano Country has been put on Kurozumi Orochi, and the Kozuki family is now the victim. It would be too strange that only Kozuki Hiyori was left among the victims, so these remaining people became a special kind of evidence.
Olga can choose to replace these with illusions, but then she will be bound to Wano Country. It is easier to support a puppet. Although Kozuki Hiyori is only six years old now and knows nothing, what the Beasts want is such a person who knows nothing.
As a puppet, knowing too much is a problem. Judging from the fact that the information she collected in 20 years is not as much as what Robin collected in one night, she is very suitable for this position.
And there is another advantage of Kozuki Hiyori being alive. It is impossible for everyone to obey the rule of the Future of the Beasts. There will always be some die-hard fans of the Kozuki family, and Kozuki Hiyori can lure these people out and completely catch them in one fell swoop.
...
Not long after Denjiro and Kikunosuke were imprisoned, the injured Kawamatsu was also thrown in.
"Kawamatsu?! Why are you here? Where's Princess Hiyori?!"
"I...I was caught, and Princess Hiyori was also..."
Denjiro asked this question only with a slight possibility of humbleness. Even Kawamatsu has been caught, so the probability of Hiyori's escape is naturally very small.
After dawn, the door was opened and the "injured" Kaido appeared here, along with a jar.
"These are Kozuki Oden's ashes. He was poisoned by the snake at the banquet yesterday and went insane. He died of exhaustion. What a pity."
"What a joke Kaido! It was you who said yesterday that you killed Lord Oden!" After hearing the reason given by Kaido, Kikunosuke couldn't believe it at all.
"That's not me. There's a woman next to Orochi called Kurozumi Murasaki. She's the user of the Mimic Fruit. She turned into me and deceived you."
"Stop joking! It's okay for you to deceive ordinary people with this reason. We saw what happened last night, and you can't deceive us! If you want to kill, kill it, we will never surrender."
"Hahaha, Lord Arceus guessed correctly, you are indeed like this, but from now on, this reason is the truth of last night, unless you want your Miss Hiyori to become the top star of the Youku."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them paused. Kozuki Hiyori was now in the hands of the Beasts, and even Kozuki Oden and Ashura Douji were killed in the battle. The few people who were far weaker than them would not be Kaido's opponents even without the hostages.
"What on earth are you going to do!?"
"What to do? Kurozumi Orochi intends to overthrow this country. Brother Kaido discovered Orochi's plot and thwarted it. Next, in order to maintain the rule of Wano Country, Brother Kaido will let Kozuki Hiyori inherit the position of general.
Kurozumi Orochi poisoned all the daimyo yesterday. The two consecutive incidents of the Kurozumi family have shown that the daimyo are not reliable. In order to maintain the stability of Wano Country, Kaido will serve as the protector of Wano Country. What do you think?"
Then Quinn showed a sinister smile and continued, "Of course, if you don't like this, you can also let her be the top star of Youku, hahahaha..."
Chapter 313 "Fool" Quinn
In the future, the people of Wano Country will gradually discover that the Kozuki family is just a mascot, and it will be the same with or without them.
However, the generals are missing, and the mascots look the same. The brand new Wano Country and the now finalized Wano Country trilogy have now reached the second step.
There were members of the Kozuki family who became generals at a young age. Kozuki Sukiyaki was an example. The general of Wano Country died some time after he was born, so he became the general of Wano Country before he was even old enough.
But at that time he at least understood some things, and the daimyo at that time also sincerely assisted the Kozuki family, so Kozuki Sukiyaki was able to successfully take over power when he came of age.
But it’s different now. The six-year-old Kozuki Hiyori knows very little, and the Beasts are not the daimyo loyal to Wano Country. A child of this age being a general seems to be maintaining Kozuki’s rule, but he is clearly just a puppet.
"You're talking nonsense! That...that's not the truth at all!"
"The truth is in the hands of the winner. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. If the ordinary people of Wano Country believe it and we believe it, then it is true. Also, this is not a discussion with you, but a notification to you."
They had no choice. At this moment, they were like fish on the chopping board, and dead fish at that. They couldn't even jump a few times and had no right to negotiate with the beasts.
"Don't think that this is the only way we can do it. It's just the simplest one among various plans. It can achieve our goal with the least cost and effort. What you do will determine the treatment of your little princess.
Whether you want to live a life of luxury or serve others, that all depends on the three of you, hahahaha!"
The reason why Quinn follows Kaido to narrate these things is because his image fits better here. It can be said that there is no one more suitable for this villain than him.
In an instant, the pressure fell on Kikunosuke, Kawamatsu and Denjiro.
With Kozuki Oden's death, Kozuki Momonosuke's journey to the future, and Kozuki Toki leaving behind a prophecy declaring his disappearance, the safety of Kozuki Hiyori is the responsibility of the retainers who remain in Wano Country.
"What exactly do you want us to do..."
"You are still loyal to your Princess Hiyori and will protect her safety, but if any rumors arise that shouldn't be heard, then you know what will happen."
"We want to see Princess Hiyori."
"No, you can't see her now. You will only be qualified to see her after the general ascends the throne. But now, you must kneel down and pledge your allegiance to the future Lord Ming."
