Arceus' Pirate Journey

Chapter 437: The Puppet's Helplessness, Using Super Magic to Fight Magic

"Pochi, is it over here?"

"Woo..."

A large dog over one meter tall sniffed the marks below and then gave an affirmative answer. It looked no different from an ordinary wolfdog, with gray and black colors, two unusually obvious black hairs on its back, and a pair of slightly ferocious red eyes.

The Biting Pokémon Wolfhound is now equipped in large quantities by the domestic security forces of the Pokémon, and they are now catching thieves.

As the weather gets colder, not only more people go out to work, but some idle people also start to take action.

Human beings are a group. No matter how beautiful a place is, there will be stains in it. There may be good people among a group of bad people. It is just a matter of probability. The probability of finding a good person among a group of bad people is very slim.

Following the giant wolfhound's pace, they continued to chase forward. There was only one giant wolfhound among a group of four or five people. It was not because there were not enough giant wolfhounds, but because only the leading pirate was recognized by a giant wolfhound.

Big wolfhounds are very wild, and it is not easy to tame them, but once tamed, big wolfhounds will strictly follow the orders of their trainers.

At this moment, they were tracking the target following the breath left by the other party.

Although the heavy snow covered his footsteps, he still left his own breath.

Starting from the Flower Capital, the big wolfhound led them to the bridge leading to Linghou, and the footprints of other big wolfhounds were left on the snow here.

"Ouch!"

The giant wolfhound called Pochi raised its head and howled, and responses came from all around. The giant wolfhounds are social animals just like wolves, and ten are the ideal number for a team.

This number can maximize the team's efficiency whether it's hunting or anything else, and they act as police dogs in the security team. Pochi is the captain of the police dogs, and this howl is its way of obtaining information about its own kind.

Based on the information from the shouting, Pochi quickly led the security team to block the thief in a snow cave.

This is just one of the changes in public security in Wano now. These petty thieves will be caught soon. The harbor is heavily guarded and ordinary people can't get out at all. The giant Magikarp under the waterfall is not just for show.

Because the environment in the sea outside Wano Country is too peaceful, the evolution speed of these Magikarp is much slower than that in the outer sea. Their descendants have evolved into many Gyarados, but their huge size remains the same.

Given the limited area of ​​Wano Country, these people will be caught sooner or later.

...

In the Flower Capital, Wano Country's general Hiyori Kozuki woke up from her sleep, dressed neatly with the help of many people, and started a new day. She followed her original words. In the palace, she was the pinnacle of power, but her orders could not be heard in the Flower Capital at all.

Apart from serving as a mascot in annual sacrificial activities, the influence of the Kozuki family in Wano has reached its lowest level ever.

"Hiyori-sama."

"Go down, I want to be alone for a while."

"Yes."

The two maids retreated respectfully, leaving her alone in the room. She gained some power, but also lost her freedom. If she wanted to leave the palace, she needed to get approval. If she met him in a bad mood, everyone in the palace would be worried.

Although she has a bad reputation in the palace, the concept that was established at the beginning is also slowly affecting her. Why Momonosuke was sent to the future and she could only stay here.

Although Mitsuki Toki was worried about being implicated, she could not understand this matter at the moment.

While she was thinking about life, the maid who had left came to Jin and reported everything about Kozuki Hiyori. In recent years, there were more people in the palace. Although these people were respectful to Hiyori on the surface, they only obeyed Jin's arrangements behind the scenes.

And these people have one thing in common: their surname is Heitan.

Kurozumi Orochi bore a huge blame, as all the infamy was left in the bloodline of the Kurozumi family. Coupled with the fact that the Kurozumi family had rebelled in the past, all old and new accounts were brought up together, and Kurozumi was hated by everyone in Wano Country.

Even if some people are just distant branches, they will still be discriminated against, especially those old people and young people who are still loyal to Guangyue in their hearts.

Kurozumi's surname made it difficult for them to survive in Wano Country. In this situation, in order to survive, some members of Kurozumi's family made a choice, which was to completely surrender to the Beasts.

A large number of such people entered the palace of Flower Capital and gradually disappeared from the sight of ordinary people in Wano Country, and tended to confront the old ministers loyal to the Kozuki family in the palace.

The former retainers of the Kozuki family also lived nearby. According to the rules, they had to apply if they wanted to see Hiyori.

Although it is not necessary to submit the application form three days in advance and get an approval reply within a week, verbal consent is still required.

For example, the one who came here today is Kikunosuke, while Kawamatsu and Denjiro are being forced to carry out missions outside.

Kaido gave them a chance to change the status quo by simply choosing to surrender, but they were unwilling to do so.

The same is true for Denjiro now. Due to many changes, Kyoshiro did not appear. He had no chance to hide his identity, so he did not want to pretend to surrender.

"Xiaoju, are you here today~"

"Please..please stay away from me..."

"Don't be so shy. I'm not afraid of you, so why should you be afraid? If you don't come over, I won't report the news to you."

Daddy once said that you have to use magic to defeat magic, and transgenderists are such a product. To deal with a transgender person, you have to use more powerful magic, such as unreasonable female hooligans.

There are many such people in the pirate group, such as the woman in front of Kikunosuke, his deputy, Drake.

A girl with pink pigtails and a scar on her face, but she doesn't care about it at all and is still acting like a gangster to Kikunosuke. His pretty boy look is still attractive to women.

For example, Derek likes him, but this is a little difficult for someone who considers himself a woman.

Most of the deputies within the Beasts are of the same gender, because this makes many things more convenient, such as Emmaline who follows Shayna and Pearman who follows Manderfesh.

Jin is the only exception at the moment. The carefree Derek gets along very well with him and has even exchanged some experiences of torture with Jin.

Under a semi-coerced state, Drake took advantage of Kikunosuke a lot before he got the chance to meet Hiyori, but for some reason, he felt that as Hiyori grew up, the smile on his face became less.

At the same time, on the small sky island, several O'Hara scholars were looking at an egg in front of them excitedly...

Chapter 438 Hatched Tearful Lizard

"It's hatching, it's finally hatching! No wonder the basilisk lizards are extinct out there, this hatching speed requires too much safety."

Looking at the eggs starting to shake in the incubator, the two scholars seemed extremely excited.

"But don't you think it's a bit strange? Basilisk lizards have evolved the ability of parthenogenesis in order to reproduce, so why does the incubation period take so long? This is different from previous records."

"The data may be wrong, but what is happening before our eyes is the truth. I don't need to teach you whether to trust the data from more than 200 years ago or your own eyes."

Several paleontologists were discussing this issue. In fact, paleontological research is a very strange subject in the world of pirates, because creatures that became extinct on one island may become the same as invasive species on another island.

So there is a professional term in the archaeological community regarding paleontology - resurrection.

This term is not used for anything else but to cover up their own mistakes. Otherwise, if they publish a paper saying that a certain creature has become extinct and it is discovered to be wrong the next day, they will be very embarrassed.

Thus, this word to avoid mistakes was born. However, what happened to Yin Lisabai's egg was far beyond their understanding. This egg had been incubated in the body for more than three years, and even if it was hatched alone, it had been more than a year.

It was the first time they saw reptiles breeding so slowly. Even Nezha should have hatched by now.

A crack soon appeared on the eggshell, and Robin began to observe the egg. Yamato was also there to join in the fun, but now her arm was in a cast, and it was obvious that something had gone wrong during training.

For ordinary people, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but for her, a week is considered a serious injury. It is just a broken bone, and three or four days are enough to recover. The plaster cast is just to prevent accidents.

"It's so slow, can't you help it open the eggshell?"

"Don't do that unless you have to, otherwise you'll be harming it."

The first step for oviparous animals is to break their own eggshells, but it is not completely impossible to help. If you really encounter a creature that is unable to open its eggshell, you can still apply external force.

But there was no need to do that now, because a small hand had already broken the eggshell, and the eggshell on top was quickly pushed open as well, but the two scholars were stunned when they saw the hatched creatures.

"This...is a basilisk lizard?"

"No, it doesn't look like that either. It also doesn't look like the one from Yin Lisha Bai. What on earth is this thing that was hatched?"

Looking at the hatched round-headed creature, the two scholars showed puzzled expressions. The yellow fins on its head made it even more difficult for them to understand what it was.

And this is the reason why it hatches slowly, because what it hatches is not a purebred basilisk lizard, but a tearful lizard that was born after being influenced by the power of the Thousand-Faced Chameleon.

As the original form of the Chameleon, the tearful lizard can be said to have nothing in common with the Chameleon. To exaggerate a little, it can even be said that they are completely unrelated. It is certainly impossible to understand it using normal biological research methods.

Robin, who was holding the little notebook, understood something. She had not stopped her exploration of Pokémon. Combined with the source of Elizabeth's own power, she quickly figured out the matter.

The newly born tearful lizard stood up quickly, looking outside with its big tearful eyes.

If it was an ordinary creature, they would not take it out of the incubator immediately, but Robin had seen the birth of other Pokémon, and as long as they did not have congenital diseases, most of these Pokémon would be able to adapt to the current situation quickly, so she took it out.

"Robin, it seems to think of you as its mother."

At this time, the tearful lizard could not fully express its meaning, but the power of Tokiwa is the power to feel the other person's thoughts from the heart, so Yamato could perceive the tearful lizard's meaning.

"This is in line with the characteristics of oviparous animals."

“It seems that they do have something in common.”

There are also doctors who are curious about Pokémon. Kentaro can give birth to second-generation mutated Wagyu beef with ordinary cattle. This is a topic of research by some scholars in Sky Island.

But there are very few such scholars. After all, most of them are historians, and only a few who study paleontology have shown an interest in them.

One of the scholars wanted to pick up the tearful lizard out of curiosity, and then an accident happened. The tearful lizard suddenly began to cry, and a lot of tears flowed from the corners of its eyes.

It is called the tearful lizard because it loves to cry. At this time, a large amount of tears splashed out. Unfortunately, a scholar was splashed into the eyes by the tears, and then a feeling of irritation came from his eyes.

"Ah, what is this, my eyes..."

His eyes also began to shed tears uncontrollably. That was the characteristic of the tears of the tearful lizard. They were a super-strong tear gas. Just one drop of tear was equivalent to 100 onions. One could imagine the stimulation he felt at that moment.

Led by his companions, he hurried to find clean water for washing. When Robin wiped the body of the tearful lizard with a wet cloth, he also discovered something very special: its skin would become transparent as soon as it came into contact with water, as if it were invisible.

This special skin is the reason why it can become invisible after evolution, but now it does not actively control this ability.

Logically speaking, Yin Lishabai is the lizard most suitable to lead the tearful lizard to grow. She is not only the biological mother of this tearful lizard, but also a creature with similar abilities.

However, Yin Lisabeth was not interested in this. She didn't seem to like children very much, and she was not on Ghost Island now, so the tearful lizard temporarily fell into Robin's hands, and its appearance just hit her cute spot.

As for Yin Lisabet herself, she and Olga were in the Sabaody Archipelago at the moment. The Nine Snakes had passed some news to her, and she came here just for this matter.

According to the original plan, this matter was not urgent, and Hancock had a few years. However, Baishou's lack of urgency did not mean that others were not anxious. In order to meet Olga in advance, Hancock forcibly accelerated the progress of the matter, and she really did it.

In more than half a year, she has passed the internal assessment, become the current emperor of Amazon Lily, the new captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates, and started the follow-up plans.

There was no opposition within the Nine Snakes regarding her becoming the new emperor because she was strong enough.

This is a characteristic of the pirate kingdom. The leader's intelligence can be slightly worse, which can be compensated by others, but the leader's strength must not be weak, otherwise the lack of high-end combat power will cause big problems for the pirate group.

At this moment on the Perfume Serpent, seeing Hancock's excitement, Guloliosa felt very complicated. She could understand this emotion, but she also felt pressure about the future...

Chapter 439: Nine Snakes' Gift, Sasaki's Ambition

Love is like a storm, this is a widely circulated saying within Amazon Lily, and many Amazon Lily emperors throughout history died of lovesickness.

Guroliosa also almost fell ill back then, but she did not stay in Amazon Lily forever. Although she is just a hunchbacked old lady now, she was the strongest warrior of the Nine Snakes' generation when she was young.

So she left Jiushe during her reign, which was part of her fault. From then on, she had been silently assisting the emperor of Jiushe, and Xia Qi had to call her senior.

The Nine Snakes also need to reproduce, so love is not prohibited within the group. The love issue is a top priority for every generation of emperors. Hancock's current situation is actually a good thing. At least her survival rate will be greatly increased.

She still remembered Hancock's recent battle record. After several months of development, Hancock had mastered most of the abilities of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit.

Hard work is important, but talent is equally important. When two people put in the same amount of effort, the one with greater talent will inevitably make faster progress.

Time is limited, and hard work can achieve qualitative change, but those with outstanding talents also have a higher upper limit, otherwise the various forces would not have to look for monsters with outstanding talents.

When they were young, Kaido and Charlotte Linlingko were both favored by the World Government and the Navy, but the results were not what they wished.

If Kaido is successfully sent to the navy by the Woka Kingdom and he also joins the navy, and Charlotte Linlin becomes an agent of the World Government under the abduction of Carmelo, they will probably become the new double walls.

In the arena, she faced the elite warriors of Amazon Lily, who were official members of the Nine Snakes Pirates. Hancock didn't even let her two sisters assist her, and defeated them all alone, twice.

Once she used fruit ability, once she used domineering and physical skills, and the two battles convinced them, and she directly became the new emperor of Nine Snakes.

Then they started hunting the Nine Snakes, their target was the Nova near Sabaody. Fishman Island had become surprisingly peaceful in the past few months, with few pirates coming, because 90% of the pirates had been turned into stone statues by her.

That was a gift left for the navy. In the original timeline, Law could exchange the hearts of 100 pirates for the position of Shichibukai.

Although the figures of those big pirates were a bit exaggerated, they were generally worth tens of millions. Even in an era of exploding bounties, this number showed his attitude.

In this era, the meaning of Hancock's actions is even more obvious. When the stone statues were sent to the navy, they didn't believe it at first. It was only after Hancock removed her ability that they confirmed this.

And Olga's appearance today is to add fuel to the fire.

The specific content is also very simple. When the navy meets Nine Snakes, she will attack the navy. As long as she does not encounter the admirals and some vice admirals of the headquarters, a single warship cannot do anything to her.

Then she could retreat from the Nine Snakes' attack and the matter would be over.

"Hancock, Hancock! Stop being dazed! Don't show your weakness in front of the navy!"

"Ah, it doesn't matter. If we are really discovered, wouldn't it be better for the Nine Snakes to move away completely?"

"no!

This needs to be observed, Hancock, this is a matter for the entire country, and it cannot be handled arbitrarily..."

"Yes, yes, I got it. Someone, take Grandma away!"
