Arceus' Pirate Journey

To them, Greninja is just a strange sorcerer.

Greninja did not refuse the challenge. He also needed an opportunity to show off his skills. Although he was just born and did not have sufficient practical experience, it was enough for the competition.

"What do you want to compare?"

Shinobu, who was dressed in pink, asked Greninja. Before she became a fat middle-aged woman, Shinobu was indeed a "seductive" ninja. "Charming ninja" and "men's nemesis" were her titles.

Among the group of ugliest creatures in the Oniwabanshu, Shinobu's strength is relatively strong. Of course, these are useless against Greninja. It is basically impossible for humans to charm frogs.

"The Oniwabanshu are a ninja unit, so let's compete in something simpler. Since you call yourself a ninja, you should know the Three Body Techniques."

Greninja's source of knowledge is Arceus Zeus, so he started to say some things about ninjas that Shinobu couldn't understand.

"Three...three body techniques?"

"Stand, clone, instant body, you call yourself a ninja but you don't even know these?" Greninja said as he demonstrated some kind of stand technique - referring to the stand that is created by the stand.

Clone Technique - To be more precise, it is the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. The shadow clone directly leaves behind multiple phantoms.

Instant Body Technique - With a flash of lightning, he appeared behind Xiaonin almost instantly, and his finger directly crossed her neck.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that the Oniwabanshu I lead are different from the previous Oniwabanshu. You can't just come and go as you please. If you become a traitor again, I will let you know the price of betrayal."

As he spoke, a water shuriken condensed in his hand. Many water-type Pokémon have special uses for water, such as Senpai's high-speed sniper bullet and Greninja's water shuriken.

Ever since Greninja suddenly appeared and became the leader of the Oniwabanshu, the original gathering place of the Oniwabanshu became his territory. There are many targets for ninja practice here, but they are just wooden dummies wrapped in straw.

Normally, the shurikens they threw out would at most embed themselves in the straw, but Greninja's water shuriken directly cut through several straw stakes in a row and finally disappeared into the sky.

The "Three Bodies Technique" and Water Shuriken ended this so-called challenge. Although the ninja system of Wano Country is different from that of Greninja, clones and shuriken still exist as the basis, which shows that Greninja is far superior to theirs.

However, she chose to return to the Oniwabanshu because she was concerned about the Kozuki family.

......

The day when Kozuki Hiyori will succeed to the throne is approaching soon, and the collapsed palace has not yet been repaired, but the old ministers have been talking to Kozuki Hiyori about the so-called etiquette these days.

When Kozuki Oden was young, he simply didn't listen to them. After Kurozumi Orochi usurped the throne, they didn't dare to offer any opinions. Now that a young general has appeared, these people finally have their place to use their talents.

Under their indoctrination, Kozuki Hiyori's mind was full of thoughts about what a general should do and what a general should do.

Originally, all the generals and daimyo families were supposed to be present at the ceremony, but now those positions were empty, with only some nominal nobles present, such as Kojiro.

As for Kozuki Oden's former retainers, seeing that Kozuki Hiyori was safe and sound was their greatest comfort at this moment.

This ceremony was actually a burden for Hiyori Kozuki. The clothes on her body weighed a total of 30 kilograms, and this was the result of being reduced in size. She felt her neck ache just from wearing the hat.

Under the witness of the live broadcast, the citizens of Wano Country witnessed Kozuki Hiyori becoming the new shogun. At the same time, on this day, a new official position appeared in Wano Country, named the Shogun's Imperial Guard.

In the nouns of Wano Country, "御永" is a honorific for "事", referring to the general's affairs, and "挂" means to engage in handling.

This official position means handling the general's affairs full-time, which is equivalent to a confidential secretary, and the person who holds this position is exactly the general.

In general, all matters that need to be handled by the general must be passed on to Kozuki Hiyori through Jin. Even if other people want to see Kozuki Hiyori, they need to convey this matter through Jin.

After finishing the complicated and tiring ceremony, she hadn't had a chance to rest yet, but she had already found him.

"General Hiyori, there are many things to do next. First of all, the original samurai group, the Mikai-gumi, will be disbanded. The Shinsengumi will become a new samurai unit. A new ninja unit will be formed with the Oniwabanshu as the leader. Brother Kaido has been asked to take on the role of the Protector of the Country..."

Chapter 319 You are just a puppet, don't think too much

Jin was holding a stack of folders in his hand. They were the future development guidelines that Arceus, Axia and others had discussed when they were preparing for the inauguration ceremony of Hiyori Kozuki in Wano Country.

The priority for development is still military force. In addition to the Beasts Pirates, which is the biggest military deterrent, Arceus has begun to take action against the local military forces of Wano Country.

The previous Mikai-gumi was the samurai unit under Orochi, which was basically destroyed in the battle that night. Now Kaido wants to reorganize a Shinsengumi as the internal security force of Wano Country.

"Kojiro will be the leader of the Shinsengumi, and the Oniwabanshu of Koga Greninja will also recruit ninja troops..."

He just told Hiyori Kozuki about the next arrangements as if he was announcing a notice, and didn't care about Hiyori Kozuki's attitude at all.

"and many more!"

After Jin said a lot, Kozuki Hiyori finally reacted and interrupted Jin's attempt to continue speaking.

"Ok?"

Jin, who was interrupted, glanced at Kozuki Hiyori. With a height of over six meters, he looked no different from a monster compared to Kozuki Hiyori, who was just over one meter tall. His emotionless voice made Kozuki Hiyori a little scared.

But the position of the general and the thinking instilled by those people gave her the courage to continue: "I... I am the general, right... I think Kojiro is not suitable..."

Before she could finish, a sound of metal twisting was heard, and a silver cup was directly squeezed into a pancake by him.

“Yes, you are a general, but the reason you are here as a general is not because you have the talent of a general, but because we think you can be a general, so you can be a general.”

Jin's attitude was completely different from before. In front of outsiders, he was like a guard, standing beside Kozuki Hiyori without saying a word. But now, he treated Kozuki Hiyori without any respect, as if he were an ant.

“To put it another way, you don’t need to think about it, and we don’t need your consent. I am just informing you of what you are going to do, and all you have to do is agree to what I say, otherwise it will be very difficult for everyone.

Agree is your only option, or I can give you three chances to refuse. "

"what?"

Jin's remarks left Kozuki Hiyori unable to react for a moment, and then Jin took out the portraits of Denjiro, Kawamatsu, and Kikunosuke.

"You can refuse three times. Each time you refuse, one of them will die because of you. I mean what I say. Do you want to try?"

The situation changed suddenly. Previously, she was full of ambitions to become a general, but today her nature as a puppet was revealed to her.

She is just a transition, allowing the people of Wano Country to gradually accept that the Kozuki family is just a mascot. After one or two generations, it will be abolished, so Baijuu's approach is also very direct.

Kaido saw the stubborn temperament in Kozuki Oden. He didn't think that Kozuki Hiyori could sincerely join the Hundred Beasts. He thought it was impossible to kill the other party's father and absorb the other party's daughter, so he simply made everything clear.

Using Kozuki Hiyori to threaten Kawamatsu and others to obey, and then using Kawamatsu and others to threaten Kozuki Hiyori, directly saving a lot of trouble.

"No...don't kill them, just do whatever you want!"

She suddenly lost her family and now only had three of them left among her acquaintances. Facing the threats, she was very afraid that they would die because of her words, so she simply chose to compromise.

"That's good, don't worry, you can have everything a general should have. In this palace you are a real general. You can order those ministers and servants around at will, and you can kill them if you don't like them."

This is a temporary palace, and those ministers were originally servants in the Flower Capital Palace. They are also people that Hiyori Kozuki can command, but only within the palace. This is the scope in which Hiyori Kozuki's words are effective.

"I will give you face. As long as you are obedient, we can live in harmony. You will have wealth and glory, and no one can threaten you. But if you don't obey..."

The silver cup that was pinched into a cake turned directly into liquid on the ground.

"Hell and heaven all depend on your choice, and there are some things about the future development..."

"Why don't you just decide for yourself? Why are you telling me now?"

"What are you talking about? This is the general's procedure. We still have to follow the procedure."

On this day, Kozuki Hiyori realized that her general was just a puppet. After leaving the palace, the effect of her words was not even as good as that of an ordinary soldier like Baishou.

Afterwards, Wano Country also began recruiting the Shinsengumi, but these things were done by Kojiro, who had already gained the trust of the Beasts Pirates.

Kaido's title of "Protector of the Country" also spread throughout Wano Country under a series of publicity. Under the absolute threat of force, many wandering samurai chose to join the Shinsengumi of the Beasts. Led by well-known samurai in Wano Country such as Hotei, a large number of people were recruited and examined.

What happened in Wano Country had nothing to do with Yamato and the others. After three days of forced hospitalization and observation, they finally walked out of the VIP ward.

Afterwards, she returned to Onigashima surrounded by a crowd of people, and the moment the Rotom electronic door opened, the hairs on her body stood up.

Her intuition made her choose to lie down immediately, and then she felt a gust of wind passing behind her head. When she raised her head, she just saw Kaido holding Hachisai.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, did you dodge it? What a shame, but this shows that you didn't slack off during these three days of vacation. Not bad, not bad."

Looking at Kaido who was laughing to himself, Yamato could no longer laugh.

"What are you doing? Father, are you trying to kill me? I'll die if I'm hit by that stick!"

"Impossible, at most he is seriously injured."

"Godfather! You heard it! My father is going to attack me again. Help!"

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yamato crawling over to Arceus. Although it was not a good sight, it was a cry for help that was ingrained in her bones. Kaido might not fulfill his serious words, but the training he mentioned jokingly would really be implemented.

"Ugh, ugh. Yamato, your foster father can't save you this time. I'm the only one who can do the training of Conqueror's Haki, so you better prepare yourself for some special training."

There is an essential difference between Arceus's coercion and his domineering aura.

Although the strength of the Conqueror's Haki is determined by one's own aura, how to control it still requires training. Whether it is the control range and power or the entanglement of the Conqueror's Haki, this training can only be done by Kaido.

Looking at Arceus's affirmative eyes, Yamato seemed to fall into new despair, but for the pirates of Onigashima, they were very excited now, because after the war, it was time to reward the beasts according to their merits.

Chapter 320: Zeraora’s official partner is of course Lucario

The pirates were not interested in attending the banquet in Wano Country. Only a few people could get used to such bland food. What they were most looking forward to was the carnival among all beasts after the war.

Moreover, the carnival after the war does not only mean wine and food, the reward of power is what they look forward to the most.

"Young ones! Are you all ready?"

In the banquet hall inside Onigashima, Quinn took his microphone and began to host the banquet. His round body kept twisting with the accompaniment of several dancers, showing off his graceful dancing moves.

"Ready!"

"Very good! We are all old people, so I won't waste my words. Let me be frank. The compensation for the dead has been paid. Lord Arceus said that if anyone dares to bully the families of those people, don't blame him for being rude.

But next, let us welcome the brave warriors in this war! Next we will get three new God-givens!"

"Oh!"

Under Quinn's orders, the spotlight searched for targets inside Onigashima.

"First up is... Holdem! He defeated seven samurai in the previous battle in Wano Country! And he was the first to break through the samurai's defenses and reach Miss Yamato!"

Two searchlights shone on Holdem, who was the candidate reported by the cadres earlier.

The lottery process for those who have obtained complete abilities has already ended. Today we are just taking this opportunity to announce it and grant them the abilities.

"Also, Deputy Chief Warden Davego of the Rabbit Bowl Mine also made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. He assisted Babanuki in dealing with a large number of rebellious pirates!"

"And lastly, there's Setsuna, the girl from the Fur Tribe! She... um... she defeated a large number of Orochi's subordinates during the clearing battle at Oden Castle!"

It wasn't that he forgot the words, but there seemed to be an extra card in the small card he had prepared for hosting. If we talk about achievements, what Setsuna did in this battle was far less than Holdem and Dave Gordo.

But her connections are stronger, since she brought Zeraora back to Zuowu, their relationship has made great progress. Originally, there were only Davego and Holdem on the list this time, and Setsuna was added on temporarily.

Anyone with ability can get to the top within the Beasts, but there is no such thing as absolute fairness. For example, Yamato, the biological daughter, and Jack and Maria, children who have been raised since childhood, their futures are destined to be different.

When the searchlight hit Setsuna, she was holding a skewer of grilled fish and hadn't figured out what was going on. She was added to the list at the last minute, and Zeraora didn't even tell her about it.

And what they got was also different, Holdem-transformed form, Flame Lion, lion form, it looked similar to a normal lion, but it had red and yellow flame-like mane.

What Davego got was a fruit. He got two devil fruits from the auction, one of which was the Bug-Bug Fruit - the Cannonball Beetle form.

The remaining one was confirmed by Davego's personal experience to be the ancient species of the Bug-Bug Fruit - the Giant Isopod form. It was then transformed by Arceus into the mythical beast species of the Bug-Bug Fruit - the Armored Warrior form.

The armored warrior looks like a giant isopod that has stood up. In addition to two huge arms with huge claws, it also has two pairs of pincers to assist in eating.

It is a Pokémon with the dual attributes of water and bug, obtained by transforming the Bug-Bug Fruit with the Water-Drop Slate. Its entire body is covered with very hard scales, which are said to be as hard as diamonds.

This will make the mine safer.

But the most special one is Setsuna. The transformation she faces is different from that of Davego and Holdem.

Her transformation was based on the changes in her genes under the guidance of Arceus. It was precisely because she was a member of the Wolf Fur Tribe and already had wolf genes in her body that she was able to undergo this transformation.

Often appears in some picture books with Zeraora, the wave Pokémon - Lucario.

"Live well with Zeraora. This is an advance wedding gift for you. Make good use of this power."

"Thank you for your strength, but Lord Arceus... it's too early to get married..."

"So I gave it to you in advance. I think it's only a matter of time for you."

The combined power expended on Holdem and Davego is not as much as Setsuna alone, and if it weren't for Zeraora's relationship, she would not have been able to obtain such power.

There is not much change in appearance when using the ability. For Setsuna, it is just a dyeing of color, and there is an additional spike on the palm and the center of the chest.

Lucario's biggest enhancement to her is the power of the waveguide it possesses.

Waveguide is a special thing. For Lucario who can feel the power of waveguide, everything has its waveguide.

By detecting the waves emitted by the opponent, one can read their thoughts and actions, and by sensing the waves, one can even sense the figure of an invisible opponent.

When this power is combined with the local power, one's own observation Haki is greatly enhanced. The power of waves combined with the observation Haki can be more powerful, not to mention that the waves also have their own destructive power.

As for further applications, it depends on how she develops it. All in all, this is an ability with a very high upper limit.

"Okay, don't just stand there stupidly, God-given ones! Use your abilities and feel the might of Lord Arceus. The carnival has just begun! Next up is the new Giver. Let's see who the new lucky winner is!"

The God's Grace is just a beginning, not an end. After seeing the newly emerged people with special abilities, the enthusiasm of the beasts has reached its peak. Finally, under the instigation of a group of people, Holdem and Davego, as the new God's Grace, started a duel.
