Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Don't look at me. Brother Manderfesh always carries it with him."

"Here, Brother Manderfesh gave me the medicine before."

Jack outside handed over the medicine. This ship was Manderfesh's flagship, and Jack's body size was not taken into consideration when it was designed. As he grew taller, the treatment room could no longer accommodate him, so he could only wait outside.

"Okay, just inject this and you'll slowly recover."

As he said this, he was about to inject the medicine into Tiger, but Tiger, as the person involved, seemed a little resistant.

"This potion... was made by humans, right..."

"No, this is a potion specially made by God. As long as you have a breath left, it can bring you back to life."

Tiger's words were originally blocked by the ship's doctor. Manderfesh's support saved him, and he appreciated the favor, but the beating from the navy broke his inner defenses.

He originally wanted to say that he was unwilling to accept human medicine and blood, even if it meant death, but the ship doctor's words completely short-circuited his thinking, and before he could react, a needle was inserted directly into him.

"Wait! You don't even do a sensitivity test!?"

"Ah? That's not necessary. Lord Arceus's medicine can be used by anyone. Unless you are a blasphemer, you will definitely not die."

Aladdin, who was also the ship's doctor, was stunned by these words. Logically speaking, human technology had developed much faster than that of Fishman Island, as could be seen from the medical equipment in this room. However, he never expected that a doctor using such advanced equipment would say such superstitious words.

But the effect of the drug was immediate. Less than a minute after the injection, Tiger fell asleep, but his breathing became much steadier, and the bleeding wound stopped bleeding and even began to heal. No wonder he wanted to remove the bullet from the wound before starting treatment.

...

"It's okay, Brother Tiger has been saved."

The news quickly spread among the fishmen on the boat, and cheers rang out one after another. Although Aaron was very happy after receiving the news, he stared at the sea with a serious look.

"What's wrong Aaron?"

"Brother Jinbei, why hasn't that liar Manderfesh come back yet?"

Chapter 567: Baptism of Doctrine

"You actually care about a human being, Aaron. It seems that you are not hopeless."

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't believe in humans. But if that guy really covered for Big Brother... maybe there are a few different people among humans."

Sitting on the deck against the cabin, Arlong didn't say anything, and Jinbei didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hey, big guy, didn't Manderfesh say before that our whereabouts were revealed by a businessman?"

Glancing down at Aaron, Jack responded to him casually.

"Brother Manderfish said that it is possible that no one except him knows your destination.

Didn't you notify them when you were about to arrive? Even if the residents of Forshat Island informed them in advance, the navy couldn't have ambushed nearby so quickly. The G2 branch is several days away from here."

"That bastard..."

Aaron is very unhappy now. Tiger was ambushed by the navy, and a man like Manderfesh appeared who broke his understanding of human beings, so he wanted to find a place to vent, and those who betrayed them were undoubtedly the best targets.

Because Tiger doesn't allow him to kill people at will, even Tiger would not agree to do things casually. He needs a chance with a reason, such as reasonable revenge.

"Brother Jinbei, come with me. You also hate those who betrayed us, right?"

But as he spoke of this, there was a movement on the sea, and Manderfesh had returned here.

"Don't be stupid, Aaron. Do you think the navy is stupid? After this operation, they will definitely leave ambushes in those places. You're just looking for death if you go there. Who has nothing to do? Bring me some dry clothes!"

After swimming in the underground river for a long time, Mandfesh returned here again. Unexpectedly, he heard Aaron's wild words before he even got on the boat.

But this time Aaron's reaction was very different. He turned around and left without saying anything.

"Did this guy get hit on the head and become stupid?"

"Maybe you suddenly figured it out. Lord Mandfesh, thank you for helping us save Brother Tiger. I am very grateful for this. Please let me know if you need anything in the future."

Although Arlong walked away "rudely", Jinbei did not, and still expressed his gratitude to Manderfesh for rescuing him.

"Don't be so polite. We have our own purpose. If he dies, Fishman Street will be in chaos. Let's go back to Fishman Island first. You need to stay out of the spotlight. There are some things I need to discuss with your brother Tai in person."

After taking the towel and clothes handed to him by his men, Manderfesh regained his human appearance and began to wipe his hair, but at this time Aaron suddenly turned back.

"Manderfish, if it were you, I wouldn't have much of an opinion on Charlie's matter."

"Huh? What stupid thing are you talking about?"

"You should know it yourself. I know a little bit about what happened on Fishman Island."

"Ask your ship's doctor to check his brain. I think he hasn't been normal lately."

Looking at the blue fat man beside him, Mandfesh felt it necessary to remind him.

It's just that this is indeed some kind of misunderstanding. After Aaron left, Mandelfish helped take care of the underage Xia Li. She got along well with Rusaka, so she sometimes left with her.

But Aaron didn't think that was the case. Although he had only taken care of Charlie for a short time and didn't care much for his sister, Aaron would definitely not agree if she really wanted to find a human as a partner.

In his opinion, Manderfesh, who took care of his sister every day, was not so pure, but after this incident, his thoughts began to waver.

Since Arlong, the biggest rebel, temporarily compromised, and under the instigation of fish-men like Hachi and Jinpei, the two pirate groups got along quite happily and even held a small party. However, Manderfesh did not participate. He came to the medical room to visit Tiger.

"Stop pretending, you must have woken up long ago."

"how do you know?"

"You don't know what medicine you took. It was a special ration given to cadres by Lord Arceus. If you didn't die, you couldn't have been unconscious for so long. Why, do you have a big problem with being alive?"

"..."

Listening to Manderfesh's question, Tiger was silent for a long time. Through the window, he could see his fellow fishmen laughing and talking on the deck, and even Aaron made a rare appearance there.

Although I didn't participate, at least I didn't hide from everyone, which is a big improvement.

"Even that bastard Aaron will change, what are you still hesitating about?"

Following the direction Tiger was looking, Mandfesh also saw the situation over there, so he continued to ask him.

Arceus' order was to find a living Tiger. Now that the person was rescued, if this guy committed suicide because of depression, then it would be a waste of time to rescue him. In order to complete the mission smoothly, Manderfesh simply played the role of a psychologist.

"You... should know about the slaves, right? And the time a few years ago when you were inexplicably targeted on Fishman Island..."

After a long time, Tiger told Manderfesh what happened that year.

"I found that I couldn't do it. I wanted to forget those things. I wanted the fishmen to change their lifestyle...but..."

When talking about those things, Tiger couldn't help but clench his fists, and the whites of his eyes were filled with bloodshot.

"idiot."

"Ok?"

"I say you are an idiot. You are no longer afraid of death because of what happened back then. So what are you afraid of? Even if you are going to die, you should at least take your enemies with you to hell."

A word can wake a person up from his dream. Hatred is always the most effective motivation. Mendelfesh's words seemed to make Tiger understand something.

"No, that's not right. The Celestial Dragons have powerful guards, and even if they can kill him, if the Fishmen kill the Celestial Dragons...then the conflict between the races will really be over..."

"So why don't you think further ahead? Killing a Celestial Dragon is a felony, but making the group disappear is not."

Later, when the people outside were having a banquet, Manderfesh talked to Tiger about Kaido's "subversive ideas" and the teachings of the Cult of Arceus all night. According to Tiger's feedback, he seemed to have been successfully "baptized".

At least he has seen hope in Tiger.

"You're right. It would be a pity if they died like this. I also want to see the children living in the real sunshine..."

With a new goal, Tiger also walked out, pushed open the door and joined the banquet outside. Listening to the carnival of the fish people outside, Mandfesh couldn't help but take out a small notebook with the exquisite Qianzhou wrist icon engraved on the cover.

"This thing Sister Misu put together... is pretty useful."

Chapter 568 Tiger's "Death"

The influence of religious ideas is still very great, especially when some people's faith collapses or their spirit breaks down, something that "seems reasonable" will become their life-saving straw.

When the other party believes that this concept is what they are pursuing, the spread of religion will become particularly rapid, especially in barren areas, where a bag of food can be enough to change people's beliefs, even though that belief is not sincere and many people just want to make a living.

But as time goes by, there will always be changes among the huge base.

The current situation is particularly special. Tiger seems to have changed a little. He has more ideas than sailing aimlessly.

"Big brother! Are you okay?"

Seeing Tiger coming out, Aaron's mood was obviously much higher.

"Yeah, it's okay now. I'm feeling great now."

Due to Tiger's appearance, the celebration on the ship continued for another day. Many carefree fishmen were already drunk, but Tiger found Jinbe.

"Jinbei."

"What's wrong, Brother Tai?"

"I still remember what the navy said. I'm afraid the World Government has already set its sights on me. If I go back to Fishman Island like this, it will be a problem for the Ryugu Kingdom.

If I continue to lead you, I will be a threat to you, and for the World Government, my death is the best outcome."

"Wait! Brother Tai, you're not going to do anything stupid, are you?!"

Listening to Tiger saying these things to him as if they were his last words, Jinbei suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You misunderstood Jinbei. You are the only ones who know whether I am dead or alive, so I need the news from the outside world that I am dead. I need you to take the others to attack a group of marines and pass the news to the marines that I died of excessive blood loss."

"But Brother Tai, what will happen to Fishman Island if that happens? You should have heard the reason why they came to rescue you..."

"I know that we have already discussed it. This is a step for the world government. What they care about most is the face. If I don't die once, then they will never be able to explain it.

On Fishman Island, as long as I show up, the people can believe that I'm not dead, so there's no problem. "

"But if the news gets back to the World Government..."

"That doesn't matter. Their action has been successful, and I'm already dead. As long as I don't show off in public again, they won't continue to waste energy on a 'dead man'."

All the World Government needs is a result, and after they send out the news of Tiger's death, they will not make a big fuss even if they find out that Tiger is still alive, because that would be a slap in their own face.

"So Jinbe, the Sun Pirates will be handed over to you from now on."

"What about you? If you don't go back to Fishman Island, where are you going, Brother Tai?"

"I heard that there are many fishmen living in Manderfesh's territory. I'll just go there first and take a look. If I have the chance later... I'll go see the New World."

Jinbei thought that Tiger was going to enter more dangerous waters, but the new world he mentioned was completely different from the new world that Jinbei understood.

Afterwards, the Sun Pirates, led by Jinbe, launched their own "revenge operation" against the navy. As they sank several warships, the news of Tiger's death was published in the newspapers.

Borsalino also completed his mission, but there were heavy casualties.

After being nagged by Zhan Guo for an hour, Borsalino came to the navy hospital to visit his injured men.

To sum up Stoloberg today in one sentence, he is not dead but has had plastic surgery.

"Hmm...Stolloberi, you should probably change your hairstyle."

At this time, Stoloberi was suddenly shorter for no reason, because his originally straight head was bent backwards like a nightcap. The young pepper in those days knew this pain well.

"Lieutenant General Borsalino, you are joking..."

"Can't your brain recover?"

"The doctor said that the degree of the bend just compresses the key nerves, and it is best to keep it like this."

"Get well soon. By the way, according to the feedback from the fishmen, Tiger should be dead. The credit should still be attributed to you."

After a few words of greeting, Borsalino left, and Stoloberi gained a new military merit at the cost of having his head hit crooked. The navy also had one more general with a crooked head, and Manderfesh and his men had just arrived near Fishman Island.

When the ship was being coated, the fishmen returned to Fishman Island in advance. They had no rigid demand for coating, but Aaron obviously had a lot of opinions about Tiger's fake death.

"Brother, there's no need to do this. Are you afraid of those marines?"

"Aaron, after sailing for so many years, haven't you felt the gap in strength? Let go of your arrogance, the world is bigger than you think, and this incident also proves the navy's own force. It doesn't make much sense to drag the entire Murloc Island into the abyss.

But I have to commend you on one thing.”

"Hmm? Did I do something?"

"At least you're called a marine now, not a human."

Reducing the scope from the entire tribe to a few fixed enemies is already a rare progress for Aaron.

"By the way, Aaron, follow me out to have a look later."

"Okay! Brother, I want to follow you more than follow Brother Jinbei."
