Arceus' Pirate Journey

“…”

"This is just the first stage. Keep sailing and think positively. Maybe that is the biggest danger."

Of course, this was just a comfort. Zhepu had just arrived here not long ago, and a single difficulty was not enough to make him back down. However, he took out his little notebook and began to record his sailing experience.

......

In the first ten days of October 1502, Mandelfisch's ship arrived at the Chambords Islands again, and the branch of Baishou Fruits in Chambords had also brought coating craftsmen.

They didn't trust the skills of other craftsmen, so they sent some of their own people to learn coating techniques. This is a life-threatening matter and cannot be taken lightly.

Among the Beasts Pirates, only Arceus and Kaido can lead a ship across the Red Earth Continent.

The others would at most take a part of the people and fly over, and the rest of the ships would still have to go underwater. However, there were no people with special abilities on Manderfesh's ship, so there were fewer concerns about going into the water.

"Be careful, don't rush."

"Don't worry, Lord Manderfesh. They are all skilled workers. You are also familiar with our testing system."

No one knows what the effect of the coating will be before it is launched. Baishou also has a large number of bases in the New World, where there are also coating craftsmen. These craftsmen are rotated. Whenever a ship is coated, half of the craftsmen will change their work positions with the ship.

They may not care about other people's lives, but when it comes to their own safety, they will never be careless and will be fully alert every time they work.

During this period, Manderfisch was not idle. He took his men to the Sabaody Archipelago to make large purchases, such as Sabaody specialties such as great bags and great senbei. These things are quite popular in Onigashima.

Even if the pirates in the group don't like it, it would be a good idea to use it as a gift to the locals as a prize. Some of these pirates have already settled down in Wano Country.

"Don't dawdle. The coating will be finished in one day. If you go back now, you should be able to catch Miss Yamato's birthday party."

"Brother Manderfesh, you are the most procrastinating one, right? How long have you been standing here?"

Pillman passed by where Manderfisch was when he went to buy senbei with five boxes of senbei. Manderfisch was here when he went to buy senbei just now. When he came back, he was still there, standing in front of a so-called love chocolate shop.

"Brother Manderfesh, you're not really attracted to that woman, are you?"

People who sell chocolate often associate their products with love, and the front of the store where Manderfesch was standing was covered with similar advertisements.

As Manderfisch's deputy, Pearman naturally had enough understanding of his boss's behavioral habits and guessed some things.

"That woman is beautiful, but brother, she is already married..."

"I don't care about that kind of thing....Why do you care about it! Get out of here!"

Manderfisch raised his foot to scare the other party, and then Pearman fled with the senbei. After a little thought, Manderfisch bought some chocolate to take away. This amount of money was not worth mentioning to him.

The next day, the coated ship began to dive. The uniform bubble texture showed that the coating craftsmen were indeed very attentive, but this time the Fishman Island was a little different from before, with a new pirate flag at the entrance.

Chapter 345: Fake Merman and Real Merman

The crossed leg bones and the white crescent beard, that iconic pattern is exactly the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates. As a middle-level cadre of the Beasts Pirates, it is impossible for Manderfesh not to recognize the Whitebeard's flag.

This is the biggest change that has taken place in Fishman Island during this period. Whitebeard Edward Newgate announced that Fishman Island would be incorporated into his territory.

Compared to the so-called status of a member country, Whitebeard's flag is more effective. The pirates who caused chaos in Fishman Island were liquidated on the day Whitebeard arrived. After that, Fishman Island became much calmer than before, but there are still pirates who kidnap mermaids occasionally.

The high starting price of 100 million for a mermaid makes these people willing to take the risk of offending Whitebeard and give it a try.

"I never thought that Whitebeard would choose to protect Fishman Island."

"What? Do you look down on murlocs?"

Listening to a coating craftsman mumbling to himself, Manderfesh came up behind him, and no one in the pirate group now known as the Emperor of the Sea looked down on fish-men or fish-men.

Jack of Beasts, the captain and leader of the affiliated pirate group under Whitebeard, and Big Mom’s husband and daughter all have fish-men or mermaids.

The country where all races live together that Charlotte Linlin wants to build, the family that Whitebeard is looking for, and the fighting power that Kaido seeks do not discriminate against this race.

Especially the Beasts Pirates. Today, the Beasts Pirates can be said to be the pirate group with the most non-pure-blooded human cadres within the group. However, as Charlotte Linlin's fertility work continues to develop, this position is at risk of being overtaken.

"Ah... No, I'm just... a little curious. After all, protecting Fishman Island is a big project, and it will attract criticism from others."

"He is the Emperor of the Sea, along with Brother Kaido. If he doesn't even have this kind of responsibility, he doesn't deserve to be called the Emperor of the Sea. When you get to the island, don't talk too much. If you don't have Brother Kaido and his men's orders, don't take the initiative to cause trouble."

As he spoke, he ordered the sailors to start entering Fishman Island. If they wanted to return directly to their own territory, they could bypass here. However, in addition to some specialties of Shampoo, specialties of Fishman Island were also within his purchasing range.

Before entering Fishman Island, Manderfesh also used his own abilities.

There is no difference between the human-beast form of his Magikarp and that of a murloc, they can be said to be exactly the same, so on Fish-man Island he can completely regard himself as a murloc.

"As usual, go do your shopping and gather at the ship in the evening."

As he said that, Manderfisch carried his things and walked towards the Coral Hill southeast of Fishman Island, which was a prosperous port town of the Ryugu Kingdom. Manderfisch came here not to stroll around, but to look for someone.

"Russaka, are you there?"

In front of an exquisite building, Mandelfish knocked on the shell door in front of him. After a long time, the door was slowly opened, and a petite silver-tailed mermaid floated out from inside.

Rusalka, the guppy mermaid, the woman mentioned by Pillman before, is also the target that Manderfesch is currently pursuing.

There is no water in the bubbles of Fishman Island, so mermaids can only move freely through the bubbles blown by bubble corals.

A few years ago, when Manderfesh was on a mission and passed through Fishman Island, he fell in love with her at first sight. After that, he began to contact the other party in the form of a Magikarp fishman. She also has some reputation here, but it is not a good reputation.

It is rumored that falling in love with her will bring misfortune. What Pearlman said about her being married is not entirely accurate, as the male mermaid was attacked by a sea monster and died on the wedding day.

Later, a mermaid who pursued her also died in a battle with human pirates, and since then some strange rumors have been spread.

She also asked her childhood friend Charlie to tell her fortune, and the future was not bright. She has been alone ever since. The rumors spread more and more, and she had no other suitors until Manderfesh appeared here a few years ago.

"Why are you here again?"

"Of course I came to see you. These are the great senbei and chocolate from Shampoodi. There are also some books here. They are made of special moisture-proof and waterproof materials. They should be able to be kept for a long time."

Manderfesch took out the things he had prepared in his package, all of which were carefully prepared gifts.

"It's not something valuable, just take it. Last time I saw you liked reading, but I didn't know what you liked to read, so I just got some for you."

Paper books are rare in Fishman Island. Not only are they difficult to transport, they are also difficult to preserve. In this deep sea, ordinary paper will rot soon, so these are custom-made by Manderfesh.

As for which books to customize, he even did some experiments with Jack. Although Jack grew up in human society, he felt that Jack's nature should be similar to that of a mermaid.

"Didn't I tell you last time that if you stay in touch with me for too long, you will encounter misfortune. Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't worry, I've always had good luck. I just got a big treasure not long ago. By the way, I might change my color in a while, so don't fail to recognize me."

In order to prevent the other party from not recognizing him after his evolution, Manderfesh made a special effort to say hello.

Although this was a bit strange, Rusalka didn't see anything wrong with it, as mermen or mermaids were very much related to their species, and things like seasonal color changes also existed.

Then they entered a stage of forced awkward conversation. Rusalka neither drove him away nor took the initiative to extend the topic. In short, she continued to talk about whatever Manderfisch said, and did not say anything unless Manderfisch said anything.

This is because of her strange curse. She rarely interacts with others, so she is sometimes passive in communication.

Before he knew it, it was evening and it was time for Manderfesh to leave.

"Well, it's time. See you next time. By the way, this is for you." Mandfesh took off a Den Den Mushi, which had his personal number on it.

"This is..."

"Phone bug, I think I remember to call me." As he spoke, he seemed afraid that the other party would reject him, so he opened the door and left here.

"Goodbye! I'm going to set sail!"

"Idiot..." Rusalka did not throw away the Den Den Mushi, but seemed a little resentful of Mandfesh's behavior.

......

"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Manderfesh!

"

After leaving Fishman Island, Pearman saw that Manderfesch was still in a daze, so he shouted directly into his ear.

"What? I can hear you."

Rubbing his ears, Manderfesch looked at his younger brother, not knowing what he was going to do.

"Brother, you are going to date a merman with this appearance. What if it really happens? There will always be a time when you can use your ability to stop."

Chapter 346: The Growth of the Beast Kindergarten

"Big Sister has maintained her ability for several years. As long as she is strong enough, this won't be a problem at all."

"Brother Manderfesh, you know what I mean."

Seeing that Manderfisch was pretending to be stupid, Pearman made his intention clear directly. He wanted to see his elder brother live a happy and fulfilling life, but if this lie was exposed, the result would not be very good.

"We'll talk about it later. I'm a little reluctant to let go... But with Whitebeard's flag, this place should be safer."

Manderfesch also knew what he meant, but he didn't know what the consequences would be if he revealed his identity now. After all, a large part of the residents of Fishman Island were afraid of humans and kept their distance from them.

In Manderfesch's opinion, Whitebeard's flag is a good thing. At least it means that Fishman Island has more connections with humans.

Then Manderfisch stopped answering this question. This was Manderfisch's personal question, and he was also Pearman's direct superior, so he had no reason to ask further.

While Mandefisch was still floating up, Shayna had already returned to Onigashima.

"Emmaline, you lead the team. I'll go back first."

"Don't worry, big sister. We're already here, there's no chance of other problems." This is already the special ocean current area of ​​Wano Country. The surrounding islands have become the territories of hundreds of beasts. As the main base, Wano Country is already the hinterland of the hinterland.

It is impossible to get here by conventional means, bypassing the outer guards.

This is also the reason why Sha Yina felt at ease leaving the ship. With a flap of her wings, she flew towards Wano Country. As usual, she would return to Wano Country in advance to report some situations.

Emmalin raised her head only after Sha Yinna left. These female cadres obeyed Sha Yinna from the bottom of their hearts.

Due to the difference in physiological structure, it is easier for men to train to become stronger. Except for Charlotte Lingling who is born with a monster physique, the top strong people in the sea are almost all men.

Unlike Olga's illusion that often takes shortcuts in battle, Sha Yinna purely relies on hand-to-hand combat. Among today's strong women, she is only weaker than Charlotte Linlin.

The supremacy of the strong is an unchanging concept within the beasts. The framework established by Arceus limits the collapse of this point, but the core still determines status by strength.

Although Yamato enjoys a high status now, if she cannot show the potential to match it, Kaido will never treat her as his own daughter and will let her fight alone.

This kind of worship of strength naturally emerged in this environment.

"Yinsika, did you remember everything I said to you?"

After entering the ocean currents of Wano Country, the people on the boat began to reef the sails and steer the ship. Even though these helmsmen were very experienced, they still had to be very careful in this sea area.

And Emmaline was telling Yinska what to pay attention to.

"You must show great respect to the Holy Beast..."

"That's right, remember this. As long as you don't make mistakes on this point and don't go to places you shouldn't go, the big sister won't be too angry. But if you break this rule, you're done for."

Emmaline was not threatening her, but stating objective facts.

"You've also seen the poster in the Big Sister's room. Remember to pay attention when the time comes."

"understood."

......

On Ghost Island, Sha Yinna landed on the roof. Since most of the cadres have the ability to fly, the roof of Ghost Island is often used as a helipad. After tidying up her appearance, Sha Yinna entered the room on Ghost Island.

"Master Holy Beast, I'm back. I'm very sorry, but I didn't gain anything."

"Nothing. The more slabs you find, the harder it is to find the rest. This is to be expected. Yamato is already anxiously waiting for you to come back."

"Ms. Yamato...wait for me to come back?"

"Yes, after all, she can change teachers when you come back. She complains about Kaidou's training every day. Didn't you come down from the roof? Didn't you see them?"

"No, Mr. Kaido and Ms. Yamato are not there."

Shayna was wondering why they were not where Arceus said, but she saw something out of the corner of her eye from the window. There seemed to be a fire on the coast outside Onigashima. When she turned her head to look, the location of Yamato and Kaido was obvious.

"Understand."

"Understood..."

She used to think she was a little strict, but compared to Kaido, her behavior was so gentle.

"By the way, Master Holy Beast, Emmalin picked up a child this time."

"There's no need to report such trivial matters."

Picking up a child is not a strange thing in Baishou. Not to mention the cadres, ordinary people may bring back a few orphans. There are already orphanages for Baishou on the islands outside.

However, this orphanage is not pure. The Beasts Pirates are not a charity. Although they take care of orphans born out of various accidents, they also have their own purposes.

The children who grew up there are basically reserve soldiers for Baishou. Those with weaker physical fitness will be assigned to companies such as Baishou Fruit.
