Arceus' Pirate Journey

The Celestial Dragons are severely polarized, and the mental resistance of some of them is undoubtedly at the bottom of the world.

Even if she is like that, it takes a lot of effort for her to influence anyone, as anyone stronger than her would be basically powerless, otherwise she wouldn't need to do anything else, she could rule the world just by going out for a walk.

...

Through Geelong Cod Square, Mandelfish returned to Coral Hill again, and Jack also saw all kinds of mermaids and murlocs along the way.

Whether it is sea fish or freshwater fish, even some non-fish marine creatures appear here from time to time. Although Jack looks more like a human, his big size and Manderfesch following beside him help him avoid a lot of trouble.

"Brother Mandfesh, didn't you say... that woman was the princess?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"If it's the princess, then what she said should be similar to what Lord Arceus and Mr. Kaido said, and have the same effect."

"Um...Jack, although...maybe...well...that's roughly what you meant, but your analogy is inappropriate. Do you want to be taught a lesson by the big sister?"

"No, I just want to ask, why do their subordinates not listen to the princess's words? Many of those who passed by were like this. What they did was completely different from what the princess asked."

In Jack's opinion, the people's attitude towards the king is the same as the ordinary pirates of the Beasts' attitude towards the captain. If Kaido said such words, it would not be a speech but an order.

"Because Governor Kaido and Lord Arceus are strong enough, Jack, this is a cruel world. Without strength, everything is nonsense. If she had absolute strength, then all of this would be realized quickly, but she doesn't.

Although I agree with some of her words, it is a pity that she is destined not to realize her ideals. "

"why?"

“Peace cannot be spoken with words. It is a sad thing to pin your hopes for peace on the ideas of others. Only when your fist is big enough can you spread your ideas to others.

Otherwise, even if you convince him today, it will be in vain. That piece of white paper cannot constrain this world of force."

The pirates' territory and the status of their allied nations, to put it bluntly, are all defended by strength. The same goes for the World Government. Without the support of force, those Celestial Dragons would have died countless times.

"Is strength... important?"

"Of course it's important. We're almost there. Don't talk nonsense for a while."

As Rusalka's home got closer, Manderfesh once again emphasized the issues that Jack needed to pay attention to.

"I understand. Don't worry, Brother Manderfesh."

"Yeah, by the way, smile, don't be so stiff... Forget it, you'd better not smile, just keep that expression."

Looking at that mouthful of sharp teeth, Manderfesch thought it would be better not to let him smile.

...

"Rusalka, are you home? I'm back!"

A familiar place, familiar words, familiar way of knocking on the door. The only difference was the time when the door opened. Unlike last time when he had to wait for a long time, this time he heard movement from inside as soon as he knocked on the door.

"Manderfesh, you're back..who is he?"

Looking at the big man behind Mandfesh, Rusalka was obviously stunned.

"I was ordered by my superiors to take this boy to learn some fish-man karate and fish-man judo. Have you seen Haku recently?"

"No, but are you sure...it's a child?"

Even among the fishmen, Jack was a rare big guy, but this problem did not last long. During this time, Jack also saw the situation in Rusalka's room. Many things were in pairs.

If what Mandfesch said is true, Rusalka has been single all this time, then it means that there has been a lot of progress between them.

Finally, Jack watched Mendefesh walk into the house happily, while he was waiting alone at the door.

It’s not that Rusalka didn’t let him in, but that he couldn’t get in. This was not Onigashima. The house was built according to Kaido’s body shape so that even giants could enter and exit freely.

Rusalka has lived alone because of his curse-like reputation, so the house was naturally built according to his body shape. Even Mandfesh, who is about two meters tall, has to lower his head and lean sideways to enter the house.

So unless the door was demolished, Jack would not be able to get in. In this case, he chose to let Jack wait for him at the door and wait for him to deal with the things at hand first before making any arrangements.

So there was a strange scene of a young strong man sitting alone at the door.

"Is he all right?"

"It's okay. He's often alone. He's used to it."

Jack outside the door did not hear this, otherwise he would have refuted Manderfesch and said that he was just used to being a man alone among women, not being alone.

At the same time, outside on the sea, Kojiro was still waiting for coating, and on the other side of the Red Earth Continent, on the Sabaody Archipelago, a group of pirates received a mission.

"Looking for this fishman?"

"He is a runaway slave. Your goal is to capture him. Of course, we will also buy other mermaids or murlocs at the auction house price."

Chapter 388 The middleman who made a lot of money

Not long ago, a slave of the Celestial Dragons escaped while he was out, and the slave who escaped was Fisher Tiger.

That celestial dragon was not Musgard. Although he liked murloc slaves, he was not the only one who had murloc slaves. Compared with ordinary humans, murlocs' physiques could bear greater weights. For the celestial dragons, this meant that their seats when going out were more stable.

It is almost impossible for ordinary slaves to escape from the hands of the Celestial Dragons, as the power of the explosive collars is not something those slaves can withstand.

But Fisher Tiger deliberately knocked over the Celestial Dragon on his back, and at the cost of being shot a few times, tricked the others over and snatched the key when they were not paying attention.

They underestimated the vitality of the fishman and overestimated the marksmanship of the celestial dragon. A few pistol bullets were not enough to kill Tiger.

Then a classic economics case occurred.

For the Celestial Dragons, letting a slave escape is a very shameful thing. If this matter gets out, it will become a laughing stock among the Celestial Dragon community.

Moreover, there were too many people who saw Tiger escape, including the kings of the member states and officials of the World Government. It was not realistic to kill them all.

So he gave 500 million berries to a confidant and asked him to capture Tiger back, and it would be even better if he could capture some new slaves.

Ever since Whitebeard began to protect Fishman Island, there have been some effects. The most direct manifestation is that the number of fishmen and mermaid slaves has decreased and their prices have increased.

Although five hundred million is more than the value of a fishman, it is nothing compared to saving his face.

Then, this confidant took out 300 million of the 500 million Beli and bribed an official of the World Government to handle the matter.

The World Government official then took out 200 million Beli and arranged for his men to handle the matter properly.

The mermen and mermaids on the island were once classified as "fish" by humans and suffered discrimination from humans.

But after the Ryugu Kingdom became a member of the World Government 200 years ago, the relationship between the two sides eased a little, and the King of Fishman Island was also allowed to attend the World Conference.

This means that the people of the World Government are not willing to do such things openly, as the deep sea is too dangerous.

The slave-hunting team had very poor capabilities for deep-sea operations, so they used 120 million to bribe a group of fairly powerful pirates to do the job, while they waited on the sidelines to reap the benefits.

As for extra murlocs or mermen, if the quality is good enough, the Celestial Dragons would probably be willing to spend extra money on them.

It was already two days after Manderfesh returned to Fishman Island.

The ship of this group of pirates had been coated long ago, and after making preparations, they had already come underwater. They took out 60 million Baileys and bribed some thugs from Fishman Street again.

They were not sure whether the other party had returned to Fishman Island, but this was where all the fishmen lived, so they sent people here to check. Capturing other slaves was also to make it easier for them to report if they couldn't find Tiger.

As for their target, the answer is just a red fishman who recently came to Fishman Island. As for the name, there is no name at all. The Tianlong people will not remember the names of slaves. The same goes for others. The number on the collar is the miserable life of a slave.

If it is stated that their target is Tiger, then no one in Fishman Street will do this job. Fisher Tiger's position in Fishman Street is equivalent to that of Hyogoro in Flower Capital.

Although he is not an official, his great fame can attract a lot of attention. However, he has been gone for a long time and no one has seen Tiger come back recently, so he took on this illegal job under the temptation of money.

There are many factions in Yuman Street where Tiger is not here.

However, walls have ears, and their secret discussion was heard by Xiao Ba.

"New? The red fishman who just came back?!"

He temporarily left the takoyaki machine with his friend on Fishman Island. He came back this time intending to catch some octopuses as ingredients, but he didn't expect to hear such an exaggerated news.

He threw the octopus cage in his hand directly to the ground and left in a hurry.

......

"New! Brother Aaron! It's bad! Those bastards in the north block have teamed up with humans to attack Brother Manderfesh!"

In a room in Fishman Street, Aaron and his gang were drinking the juice of some underwater plants, which was very similar to alcohol, but its density was higher than water, and it could satisfy their needs in the water-filled Fishman Street.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ba. How can those guys be a match for Manderfesh? You underestimate him. Would you like to sit down and have a drink together? I just picked it."

Aaron didn't take that matter to heart at all. In his opinion, mere humans would not be a match for Manderfisch. After all, even he himself was not a match for Manderfisch.

However, Xiao Ba was not so reassured. Seeing that Aaron had no intention of intervening, he went to Fishman Island to find Manderfesh to report the news.

On Fishman Island, Mandefesh and Rusalka were wandering around the Mermaid Bay. He had recently successfully found Haku and handed Jack over to Haku.

Considering their past friendship, Haku agreed to teach the other party fish-man karate and fish-man judo, and let Jack stay in his home temporarily. The houses of fish-men are generally much more spacious than those of mermaids, and his home is not too far from Rusalka's, making it convenient for Manderfesh to run back and forth.

The reward was a big bag of pancakes. Although he was a fishman, Haku had a liking for this kind of food.

......

"The red fishman... should be him, right?"

"Isn't he the only fishman who came here recently? He was so close to that woman Rusalka, and he took away a lot of our territory in Fishman Street. Now someone specifically asked for him. Isn't this just right?"

Manderfesh has also become a little famous in Fishman Street. When they heard the human pirates describe this incident, they actually had the same idea as Xiaoba.

"But...can we defeat him?"

"I can't beat him, but I can beat those humans. Isn't that guy the so-called supernova this year? I should be able to deal with him. I have a plan. I will use that mermaid as bait to lure this guy to the surface of the sea. Then those humans will naturally be able to deal with him."

Although merfolk can live on land, they cannot perform as well on land as they do underwater. If they are put on a boat or on land, their strength will naturally be greatly reduced.

"That's a good idea. So how do you plan to separate the two of them?"

The premise of this plan is that Manderfisch and Rusalka separate. In the current situation, there is no possibility for them to separate. However, just when they were having a headache, Manderfisch's Den Den Mushi rang.

Kojiro's ship had completed the coating and was waiting for him at the entrance. Since there were only humans on the ship, he chose to let Rusalka wait here...

Chapter 389: At that moment, Manderfesh turned into light

Rusalka's attitude towards humans was relatively friendly, but after all, the people on that ship were all his subordinates, and there were many secret things to discuss when they met, so he did not take Rusalka with him.

Although Fishman Island is not particularly safe, the reason why there are so many mermaids gathered in Mermaid Bay is not only because of the beautiful environment here, but also because it is a relatively safe place in Fishman Island.

He was just going to pick up Kojiro and the others, which wouldn't take long, and he would usually leave Fishman Island. Rusalka wasn't a three-year-old child, so she had no problem living alone, so he was careless.

Seeing Manderfesh suddenly leave, the fishmen thugs realized that it was time to act.

......

"Is this what you brought?"

"Well, considering the special environment here, I think this kind of product should be more popular."

"That's it. I'll find a place for you to stay first. Then I have some personal matters to attend to. When I'm done..."

Manderfesch and Kojiro were chatting about this issue briefly, and then Hachi's voice was heard from outside the entrance of Fishman Island.

"New, Brother Manderfisch, Brother Manderfisch! Someone wants to attack you!

New! I heard it on Fishman Street!"

Looking at Kojiro beside Manderfisch, Xiaoba didn't say anything. He knew that Manderfisch had a good relationship with some humans. Without waiting for Manderfisch to ask, he started talking about what he heard in Fishman Street.

"When did this happen?"

"New, not long ago, I went to see Brother Aaron, but he said you could handle it by yourself, so he didn't come. They should be faster than me..."

"Oops!"

An ominous feeling appeared in Manderfesh's heart. If what Xiao Ba said was true, those people had already taken action in front of him, and their target was really him...

At this time, there seemed to be some commotion in the direction from which Mandfesh came.

"Hey, don't run, what happened over there?"

"There are... human pirates causing trouble. I don't know what's going on, but it's just chaos..."

He stopped a merman and asked what had happened.

Besides the pirates and fish-man thugs, they also have people from the World Government waiting to receive the goods, so they quickly make a plan after Manderfesh leaves.

Those human pirates staged a riot on Fishman Island to attract attention. They mixed in with the crowd and started a riot, causing the nearby mermaids and fishmen to become confused, and then took advantage of the chaos to capture Rusalka.

Then reveal some information to Mandfesh and lead him to the people on the sea who are ready to receive the goods.

The reason why those human pirates took action was because they still had to continue living on Fishman Island. It was okay to do small tricks, but if they did such things blatantly, they would not be able to live on Fishman Island in the future.

Young people are fearless and as this year's supernovas, nothing could stop them in the first half of the Grand Line, so they were very inflated. Even when facing Whitebeard's flag, they showed no fear and agreed to the demands of those fishmen.
