Arceus' Pirate Journey

As for Shanshan, he stayed out of it completely. As for why, it was because it was a company team building event. It was okay to joke among colleagues, but joking about the boss's wife... In the private company like Baishou, he might not see the sun tomorrow.

The flashing electric light on Zeraora's body said it all, and Setsuna returned to his original form and returned to the sidelines, so while giving the Giver the ability, Davego and Holdem also began their own duel.

Both of them have just gained their abilities and have not yet mastered the power. They are only relying on their animal-type bodies to fight. Although Davego's ability is transformed from the fruit, he has a great advantage in the battle.

In terms of physical fitness, the armored warrior is stronger than the Flame Lion. At this time, Holdem's claws cannot hurt the opponent's extremely hard shell.

"Bite him! Bite him where there's no shell! You're a lion!"

"Catch him, Davego! I'm betting all on you to win!"

Chapter 321: Under great pressure, Kojiro requests to resign

Pirates are also a high-pressure group. They will face battles at any time. Everyone has fear, but the degree of fear may be greater or lesser, so hedonism is very prevalent among pirates.

The rewards received will basically be spent very quickly, and only a very small number of pirates will save money. Cigarettes and alcohol have always been very popular items among pirates, but the senior officials of the Hundred Beasts are somewhat different.

Alcohol consumption is basically limited to Kaido alone. As for tobacco, except for Quinn who can't live without cigars, no one else has such a big hobby. The third type of consumption is snacks.

However, this aspect has no impact on ordinary pirates. In addition to the consumption of tobacco and alcohol, gambling is also one of their major interests.

At least the handicaps within the Hundred Beasts are truly without any shady dealings. Kaido is the only dealer, and the purpose of this handicap is just to entertain his subordinates.

Compared to the general dice method, there are two methods that Baishou likes most. One is roulette, which is the result of the reward mechanism left by Arceus before. The purpose is to master the game of roulette.

The other is gambling, which can make them more excited.

Every time someone gains a new ability, they will have their first duel in this kind of crowd.

The ring has been cleared, and Holdem in lion-man form and Davego in insect-man form are fighting in the most primitive way.

Even though they belong to the same pirate group, the two of them never stop trash talking.

"Come on, I think you are just a kitten, be careful not to break your teeth."

"Tsk, what's there to be proud of as a bug hiding behind a shell? Come out if you have the guts!"

But in the end, Davego was the winner. Unlike Maria, he did not think that the insect man was too ugly. He was a pragmatist, and his extremely hard shell and four extra arms gave him an advantage in this kind of hand-to-hand combat.

As long as he protected his soft abdomen, Holdem had no way to deal with him. In the end, Dave Go captured Holdem with six arms and won the game.

This match was not the end, but a beginning. After them came the Givers, and in the end some ordinary pirates also joined in. Fighting had become a form of entertainment within the Beasts.

Any grudges must be resolved in the ring. Playing dirty tricks in private is a serious violation of the beast discipline.

Yamato was originally just a spectator, but in the end she was thrown down by Kaido.

Looking at Yamato who suddenly appeared in the ring, the pirates of Hundred Beasts were a little at a loss for a moment.

But at this time Kaido's voice came.

"Listen carefully, guys. Anyone who is still in the ring can go and defeat her. If you defeat her, you will get the coveted reward. There is no need to hold back, just go all out! You don't have to treat her as my daughter. She is your enemy now!"

Then they threw down the Ken No. 5 that Yamato had placed next to his seat. They hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Arceus did not stop them and Kaido was still urging them, someone finally took action.

"I'm sorry Miss Yamato, this is the order from Boss Kaido!"

Then he was knocked down by a stick. Under the devilish training of Kaido, fighting back has become Yamato's instinct.

"Idiot, that's my daughter, I want you to come together!"

The more elite miscellaneous soldiers are still ordinary members. When the Giver and the Divine Grace are not defeated, it is simply a fantasy for them to encounter the Yamato in a one-on-one fight.

At Kaido's reminder, they launched a special group fight. Amid Kaido's satisfied laughter and Yamato's slightly angry and helpless condemnation, the carnival on Onigashima continued.

In the following days, the Beasts used Kozuki Hiyori as their puppet to issue new decrees, and Wano Country underwent earth-shaking changes within just one month.

Just as Jin said, everything Kozuki Hiyori got was in line with the treatment of a general, except that he lacked freedom. Even if Kawamatsu and others wanted to see Kozuki Hiyori, they had to get his permission.

However, this aspect is not too strict. They can see Kozuki Hiyori every day, but the time they spend together is limited.

But one day later, a patient came to the Beasts Pokémon Center.

"Mr. Kojiro? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Ah... this... hair loss, insomnia, and snack season. I need a full checkup."

Kojiro walked in with a haggard look on his face. He had a very fulfilling life this month. When he first became the chief of the Shinsengumi, the remaining elderly people in his family were so moved that they burst into tears. This was the biggest proof of the family's resurgence.

After all, this means that a merchant family is returning to politics, but later Kojiro finds out that he was too naive. Under the new policy, his chamber of commerce quickly spread to the entire Wano Country as a semi-state-owned enterprise, and many things have to be decided by him personally.

The same thing happened with the Shinsengumi. A bunch of things were thrown at him, and at the same time, Hyogoro didn't let him go. Ever since he injured Hyogoro with Yanfan that day, Hyogoro has been pestering him.

After Kozuki Hiyori succeeded to the throne, no one knew what he was thinking. He would come to Kojiro with a knife and practice with him whenever he had nothing to do.

According to Hyogoro, Kojiro's physical fitness is too poor, and such powerful sword skills can actually hurt himself. In order to prevent this move from being lost, he has to train Kojiro.

It just so happened that he was busy with other things recently, and as a warrior, Shibigoro's strength was sufficient, so Baishou let him train Kojiro.

So under the dual pressure of work and training, he felt more and more haggard.

The physical examination process was quick, and the doctor came to a conclusion based on his physical condition - overwork.

"Overwork?"

"Well, your body has been overloaded with work. You should take more rest recently. Let go of what you can."

So the next day, Kojiro came to Onigashima with the diagnosis report and handed in his resignation as the chief of the Shinsengumi.

"Resign?"

"It is like this, Lord Arceus. I am really not good at this kind of management. It is very different from business, and I don't have enough energy. I'd better give this position to other capable people."

The affairs of the Shinsengumi would consume a lot of his energy, but the results were often unsatisfactory, so he made this decision.

"In that case... you can just use this title first, and you won't have to worry about the things there anymore. There will be a few assistants to take over your job. Just focus on your own things."

"Got it. I will do my best at the Chamber of Commerce..."

Chapter 322: The Great Dao and the Great Mouth God

It would be better to let a local person be listed as the chief of the Shinsengumi for the time being. After all, the current Shinsengumi is a violent agency responsible for internal security in Wano Country. If the Pirates of the Beasts are the external army, the Shinsengumi is the internal armed police.

Kojiro is a more suitable person to be the chief, but since he doesn't have enough energy, he can just be a figurehead. Baishou can still find professionals in this field.

Kojiro was very satisfied with the result. After all, he didn't even have time to pet the dog before.

At the same time, he also found a deputy according to Arceus' request, and Musashi, who was originally the head of security, was gloriously promoted to a regular position.

The Flower Capital and Oden Castle are both under reconstruction, and the lives of most residents have not changed yet, so the impact of the new decree will take some time to take effect.

For example, Kentaro's family continues to live their farming and pastoral life as usual. Kentaro goes to milk the big milk tank as usual. As a teenager, he has become the main labor force in the family.

At this time, his family was saving money for him, because he was almost old enough to get married, but the process was still quite long. They had just renovated their house with their savings from working, so now everything was starting from scratch.

There were milk bottles piled on the cart. He skillfully squeezed the milk from the big milk jugs and then went to prepare new feed for them. After a few years of getting along with them, he gradually understood what the big milk jugs liked to eat more.

At this time, he was collecting berries in the bushes, but this time he found a strange thing on the ground, a fruit that looked similar to a mushroom, but the red and green color made him feel very strange.

"This thing... should be poisonous, right?"

The brighter the fruits and fungi, the more likely they are to be poisonous. He didn't dare feed this wild fruit, which he couldn't tell the species of, to others or eat it himself, but he collected it anyway.

Whether it is herbs or poisons, they can be exchanged for a considerable bonus from the beasts. They usually collect herbs in the mountains, and their intuition tells them that this thing is worth a lot of money.

He took the fruit along when he delivered the milk.

At the purchasing station of Taoyuan Farm, a pirate with a prosthetic limb was counting the crops. He was still over 60 years old this year and had joined the Beasts Pirates as an older pirate eleven years ago.

Later, one of his legs was blown off in a battle, and since then he has been working here in the elderly care industry.

"Uncle Hafat, this is today's milk."

"I know. I've put it down. Just wait for the money at the end of the month."

"By the way, uncle, I found a strange thing today. How much do you think it is worth?" He put down the backpack on his back and started rummaging through it.

"Herbs? Ordinary herbs are not worth much. You didn't go up the mountain today. We don't have ordinary fungi...no..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the strange mushroom that Kentaro took out.

"What's the matter, Uncle Hafat? You won't accept this?"

"Gulu~"

After swallowing his saliva, Hafat said, "Take it, of course, Kentaro, you've made a fortune, this is a treasure worth 500 gold."

The strange color and spiral pattern, there is no doubt that this is the Devil Fruit.

The prices in Wano Country are different from those in the outside world, but the Beasts have already made regulations on this. If someone takes out a devil fruit, he can be given 500 gold as a reward, and his family will receive special protection from the Beasts.

This is a fantastic amount in Wano Country. Kentaro didn't expect that an ordinary "Poison Mushroom" would be worth so much money.

Although Kentaro did not know the value of the Devil Fruit, Hafat had no intention of secretly hiding the Devil Fruit to eat himself or exchange it for money. Although this position was reserved for disabled pirates, it had also passed the internal review of the Cult of Arceus.

Their own quality is higher than that of ordinary pirates, and there are also notices above, but Kentaro has not seen it. If he finds out the truth and makes it public, it will not be good for him. There is also a very critical problem.

His talent is just that, otherwise he wouldn't have retired after getting an ordinary prosthetic limb. Those with combat talent basically go through transformation like Scourge and continue to fight on the front line.

He had no habit of saving money to begin with, so he knew whether to use the money to live happily for a while or to rely on the beasts to live the rest of his life.

At this time, he had achieved his life goal and retired smoothly.

However, Mandfexu is far from retirement age, and as he masters more and more things, he has greater ambitions, which is to retire smoothly as a senior official, but he is still a long way off now.

"I'll take the stuff first. 500 gold is not a small amount. I need to apply for it and then get it approved. I'll send it to you when the money comes in."

......

About half a month later, Hafat came to Kentaro's house and saw a pile of gold coins on the table. They were still a little bit unbelievable.

"Five...five hundred gold?"

"Of course. They are all here. You can count them for yourselves. There is also this."

As he spoke, Hafat took out another small sign.

"You can choose to join the Beasts as a pirate, or join the Shinsengumi as a samurai. Of course, if you don't like fighting, you can be a team leader in a weapons factory or something like that. In short, you can choose a career you like within a certain range."

Kentaro was not interested in pirates or samurai. He did not want to fight, and the factory was too far away from Kuri where he lived. Finally, he made an unexpected answer.

"Boy, you only have one chance, are you sure?"

"Sure, Uncle Hafat, let me be your deputy at the purchasing station."

As a person who goes to the purchasing station every day to exchange agricultural and pastoral products for money, he thinks the purchasing station is a great career. The huge sum of money has enabled his family to achieve financial freedom directly, and a job close to home has made him very satisfied.

"That's it, I thought you wanted to be a samurai."

"That was my childhood dream, and dreams change."

...

And the fruit that made Kentaro's family rich overnight is now in the treasure house of Onigashima, the Human-Human Fruit's mythical beast type - the Dai-Nyudo form.

In addition to this fruit, Kaido also obtained another powerful fruit through a trade. An orange persimmon-like fruit was also placed in the box - the Dog-Dog Fruit's mythical beast species - the Big Mouth True God form.

"Hehe, two mythical beast species, it's really a big harvest."

"Big Mouth God...Ice Wolf God...Kaido, give me that fruit, I want to try something."

"What are you going to do? This is a powerful fruit that cost a lot of money to get back."

"It's just a small attempt, but I don't know if it will succeed."

Chapter 323 Ideal and Reality, Yamato's Future Development

"It's up to you, but be careful. It's not easy to find such a powerful mythical beast."

People will not complain about having too much property, and Kaido will naturally not complain about having more special abilities under his command. For Arceus, transforming devil fruits is much easier than transforming a person, so the Beasts have been collecting devil fruits.

The existence of the Millennium Dragon Feren has already shown that the transformed form and the devil fruit ability can coexist. Such a mythical beast naturally meets Kaido's needs.

However, Arceus was thinking about another thing, which was about the ability given to Yamato.

"Hey, Kaido, remember what you said about giving that girl Yamato her abilities?"

"Oh? Have you decided what abilities to give her?"

"Not yet, but I have an idea for now. Those Pokémon that are strong enough are known as Divine Beasts. They are different from ordinary Pokémon. Their power comes from the combination of everything they have."

Kaido pondered for three seconds, and finally picked up the wine gourd at his waist and started drinking.
