Arceus' Pirate Journey

The giants returned to their own country, the fishmen followed Tiger to form the Sun Pirates, and ordinary people chose to live in seclusion.

During this period, some people chose to return to their hometowns. No one here knows whether they were re-captured or died on the way.

Among all the slaves on the island, Kerla is the most special because she is only eleven years old.

Eleven years old in itself didn't mean anything special, but it had been three years since they escaped from Marijoa, which meant that the little girl had been taken into slavery when she was less than eight years old.

"Tygan, you rescued this child from Marijoa three years ago. Although we want to send her back home, we cannot cross this dangerous sea with our capabilities and these small boats."

Tiger was entrusted by several seemingly old men. Their faces looked very old, but their bodies did not look like those of people of this age.

In fact, they were not old people at all; their faces had aged due to the ravages of slavery.

Tiger did not refuse this request and chose to take her back to his hometown. At that time, they just treated her as an ordinary girl until Aaron impatiently knocked her aside.

Even though his perception of humans had become slightly more complicated because of Manderfesch, it still didn't change the fact that he hated humans.

But when Xiao Ba grabbed him, his resistance was not so fierce.

Then he was stunned, because the little girl who was slapped did not cry or roar. Even though her nose was bleeding, she just tore off a piece of clothes and kept wiping the deck.

"I'm sorry, please don't kill me. I'm still somewhat useful. Please don't kill me."

Crying = death, this was what the young girl learned from her life as a slave. No matter if she was lazy or something else, the result of doing so was to be ruthlessly abandoned.

For the Celestial Dragons, slaves without value have no meaning of existence, and they would choose to kill them directly as they find it troublesome.

Aaron once again experienced the "evil" side of humans, but he was different from others who sympathized with Kerla. Humans could be so ruthless even to the offspring of their own kind, so how could they accept the fishmen who had always been discriminated against?

This is what Aaron really thinks at this moment. He has never agreed with Yiji's ideas. In his opinion, only fear can make the other party stop, but he will obey Tiger's orders. As long as Tiger is still there, Aaron will not lose control.

He didn't do anything else but left here alone. Then Tiger covered the marks on Kerla's back with a branding iron and forcibly brought her out of the shadow in the most direct and violent way.

As time passed, Kerla quickly integrated into the Sun Pirates. Except for Arlong, most of the people on the ship had accepted Kerla's existence. Jinbei, who was originally on the same side as Arlong, gradually changed his views under the influence of Tiger.

But he still hasn't understood what Tiger said to him back then.

[Princess Otohime is too idealistic. In her eyes, there is probably no difference between me and Aaron. But to me, it doesn't matter. The devil living in my heart is the most terrifying thing.]

The first half of the sentence was not difficult to understand, but he did not know what the devil in Tiger's heart was referring to.

The voyage of the Sun Pirates continues, and they also find the Eternal Pointer leading to Kerla's hometown - Forshat Island, and follow the Eternal Pointer to the other's hometown.

It was also because of this eternal pointer that Mandfesh successfully found the other party's trace.

The Sun Pirates are also wanted criminals by the government. They obtained the Eternal Pointer naturally through illegal means. There are not many fish-man pirates in the sea, and the Beasts have a complex network of relationships in the underground world.

Many people wanted to flatter but couldn't find the opportunity. However, Doflamingo not only did not get angry because of Tezoro's identity, but instead seized the opportunity to establish cooperation with the other party. In this situation, Manderfesh found the news without much effort.

"Forshat Island?"

"Yes, I also have an eternal pointer to that place. Do you need it?"

If people are not going to a certain island, they will not specifically look for the Eternal Pointer. This is the disadvantage of the Grand Line. If there is no Eternal Pointer, if you want to go to an island, you must follow the designated route.

If you change your route rashly, you will be led to a strange place due to the changes in the magnetic field of the recording pointer. The Eternal Pointer and the Life Card are the few things that can guide you on the Grand Line.

...

"When did this happen?"

Listening to his younger brother's report, Manderfesch suddenly had a bad feeling.

"That person said that two days ago, a group of fishmen bought an Eternal Pointer. They should have set off now."

"Hurry up and restock the supplies, then move forward at full speed to complete the two-day journey."

"Yes!"

Then Manderfesh's ship opened the outer wheels at full speed and chased in the direction recorded by the eternal pointer.

"Brother Manderfish, do we need to be so anxious?"

Jack stood behind Manderfesch, teasing the Frost Fairy above his head and asking Manderfesch.

"It's better to be prepared. Although the navy's intelligence agencies occasionally make stupid mistakes, they are the force with the most spies on the sea. We can only believe half of what the underground merchants say.

There is no reason why the Navy cannot find out what we can find out. Maybe that guy sold the information about Tiger to the Navy.

If he had been a little more courageous, our information would have been sold out by now. Lord Arceus's request is to keep Tiger alive and not let him affect his plan."

As a veteran, Manderfesch has always been wary of outsiders, especially those black market traders. There is nothing they dare not do for money.

In fact, his guess was correct. He sold the news about the murlocs to the navy. Although there was no specific trace, the navy had already deployed a fleet around Forshat Island.

This is also the reason why they were able to arrive so quickly in the original timeline. In the original timeline, less than 30 minutes after Tiger sent Klar home, the navy had surrounded the place. Forshat Island is not a naval base. If they had not been prepared in advance, they would not have been able to do this.

The deployment of a fleet takes time, and no matter how elite the navy is, it cannot change this fact.

"How's that, Jack? Are you scared? This is the life of a pirate."

"No, just the navy. If they dare to come and surround us, let them try."

"It's good to be brave, but Jack, you have to be careful when you go out. You don't want Frosty to get hurt, do you?"

Chapter 561: The Frog in the Well

Everyone's development level is different. Some people can still grow taller at the age of 16, while some people reach their limit at the age of or . Jack, who is years old this year, is already eight meters tall, a real little giant.

Manderfesch, who is more than two meters tall, looks like a child in front of Jack. It is easy for outsiders to misunderstand that Jack is the captain.

Moreover, most of the mermen look extremely ferocious, and Jack has this ferocious aura.

Except for a few acquaintances and older brothers and sisters who are stronger than him, his attitude towards ordinary pirates cannot be said to be friendly, but he is surprisingly gentle to his own Frost Milk Fairy.

Frosty the Frost is not even as big as a hat on his head, but he wouldn't be angry even if Frosty the Frost was playing on the trampoline there.

Manderfesch's example touched his soft spot, and it was a bit too much.

"What are you doing with Den Den Mushi?"

"Lord Arceus asked me to listen to your opinion. According to past practice, if you are not an opponent, you should choose to ask for help."

"No need Jack, you're too impatient, and I'm only saying it's possible, most underground merchants wouldn't dare to sell us out."

What Manderfesch said was also true. Kaido and Charlotte Linlin occupied almost half of the underground world. No one wanted to offend them. Unless the news of their death came, these people would not dare to be too presumptuous.

You have to have a life to spend the money you earn. Most people cannot afford the revenge of these two people, nor are they willing to try.

This will only happen when the benefits are so great that their greed overcomes their fear. To survive in the underground world of the Grand Line, brains are very important, and a piece of information is not worth their risking their lives for.

......

Manderfesch's ships began to sail at full speed, and after sailing for several days, they arrived near Forshat Island.

"Brother Manderfesh, they are almost there. If we haven't caught up with them here, they should have reached the shore."

"Stop the boat. You stay here. Jack, come with me and take a look."

He didn't know how many people the navy had sent, but he knew that his only rescue target was Tiger. In other words, as long as Tiger was alive, others had little to do with him.

Moreover, all the members of the Sun Pirates are fishmen. It would be extremely difficult to catch them in the sea after they abandoned the ship. Letting their own ship go would only increase the burden. Jack and he could enter the water freely, making everything much more convenient.

"Pearlman, you stay here. If something goes wrong, retreat first. Don't worry about us two."

"Wait, Brother Mandfesh, let's go with you. We are also fishmen, so we can do our part in helping Brother Tiger."

Pearman accepted Manderfisch's order, but there were several people on the ship who wanted to go with him. This was the result of Manderfisch having lived on Fishman Island for a long time, and there were several more fishmen among his subordinates.

Those who couldn't accept his identity left him and returned to Aaron or Tiger's men, but those who could accept this joined the Beasts and continued to follow Manderfesh.

"It's up to you guys, let's go!"

With that said, Mandfesh jumped into the water first. As he was also a murloc, there would be no problem for him to retreat. He would arrange the retreat route in advance before taking action. This was a habit he developed after the incident on Kraingana Island.

Although Gyarados can fly, his flying speed is far slower than his swimming speed. The sea is his home ground, and he generally does not choose to fly if he can swim.

"Help me take care of it."

After touching Frostmilk's head, Jack left it with Pearman temporarily, and then jumped into the sea with the other mermen.

.......

Jack looks rather clumsy on land, but he swims quite fast in the water. As long as he doesn't transform, he still maintains the characteristics of a fishman in the ocean.

Although he was slightly slower than other murlocs, he still followed at the end of the team.

Sprinting at full speed, they soon saw the ship of the Sun Pirates.

By this time, Tiger had already left the ship with Kral, and Aaron continued to promote his theory.

"Think about it carefully. What's the point of that little girl preaching that murlocs are good people in the village? It's just a waste of words just like Otohime. Only by letting them understand the horror of the murlocs can we..."

"Aaron, it's been three years, and you're still so naive. Do you think you're really that strong?"

Before Aaron finished speaking, a strange yet familiar voice suddenly came from under the side of the ship, and then a blue "dragon man" jumped onto the deck.

"Manderfesh? Why are you here, you liar?"

Aaron was not happy to see Manderfisch. When he thought Manderfisch was really a fishman, he treated him as a friend. But since the other party's human identity was exposed, everything changed. In his opinion, he was just a liar.

"Of course there is something to do, where is Fisher Tiger?"

"You guys should respect big brother a little bit!"

Aaron was even more upset by Mendelssohn's calling Tiger by his first name, and combined with his previous words and "cheating", many emotions made him want to compete with Mendelssohn.

But he seemed to have forgotten that he was no match for Manderfesh when he was Magikarp, let alone the Gyarados who had mastered Mega now.

So he was pinned to the ground by Manderfesch with one hand.

"You still want to bring terror to mankind with just these two tricks? You know nothing about the strong."

"Manderfish, what on earth are you doing here?"

Seeing Manderfesch pressing Aaron to the deck, the other fishmen around him immediately showed vigilant eyes, and Jinbei also assumed a fighting posture.

"New, don't be like this, there must be a misunderstanding here."

Xiao Ba was in the middle trying to dissuade them, waving his six arms up and down.

"I'm not here to fight. We received news that the navy is carrying out a siege operation against Fisher Tiger. To be precise, I'm here to rescue him."

"Rescue?! Big Brother doesn't need you to rescue him! You are just a human being, so self-righteous!"

Aaron was pinned to the ground but he still refused to admit defeat even though Manderfesh's hand made him unable to resist.

"If Charlie wasn't your sister, I would have beaten you so badly that no one would recognize you. Don't always include the entire human race in your conversation. People are different from each other."

As he said that, Manderfesch threw Aaron to Xiaoba. Although Aaron was still unwilling to accept it, he was held firmly by Xiaoba and the others.

At this time, Jack and his companions also jumped onto the deck. Their movement speed was not as fast as Manderfesh's, so they were a little slower.

"Brother Manderfish, we saw warships on the way here, and they are surrounding us!"

At this time, a series of gunshots were heard on the island. Even Aaron stopped struggling. It was obvious that what Manderfesch said was true.

Chapter 562: Super Evolution and Great Cruelty

These warships were hiding near the island and came here only after receiving reports from Kerla's fellow villagers.

Because Manderfesch swam too fast, he didn't notice the warships, otherwise he wouldn't have wasted his time talking to Aaron.

Jack and his crew were a step slow and only just saw the surrounding warships.

The gunshots on the island said it all. Manderfesh immediately ran in the direction where the gunshots came from. All Aaron could see was the opponent's afterimage.

"Brother Jack."

In a world where strength is respected, you don't have to be older to be called the big brother. Anyone who is strong enough can be called the big brother. These younger brothers who follow Manderfesh are no match for Jack.

"You stay here and be careful."

Then he used brute force to rush in that direction. Unlike Manderfesh who used his ability to fly, Jack used brute force alone, leaving two huge holes on the deck.

"That guy...actually came to save Big Brother..."

The surrounding warships have already approached, and there is no need to question the purpose of Manderfisch's trip. Tiger has a very high status in Aaron's heart, which makes him, who was not convinced by Manderfisch just now, feel a little shaken.

“Humans are different from each other.”

This sentence had a certain impact on him at this time, but now was not the time to think about this problem because the navy's artillery shells had already been fired.

"Aaron! You go deal with those warships, I'll take people to rescue Brother Tai!"
