Arceus' Pirate Journey

Even if conflicts and fights occur between individual Pokémon, they have never fought with other Pokémon under the command of humans.

Uta and Luffy don't know what Pokémon represents yet, but the duel between Heracross, which is the purpose of their competition, is the first battle under the command of humans since Pokémon was born in this world.

"Oh, you look like you're full of fighting spirit. Then go outside and compete. Don't make trouble here."

Seeing that the two Heracrosses were really going to duel, Shanks took a child in each hand and led them out of Maginot's Tavern. The other members of the Red Hair Pirates also followed Shanks out of here, except for one person - Gabu.

An orc who looks like a lion. Although he looks scary, he is very gentle at heart and is afraid of insects.

Hercules is also a kind of insect. Even though it is much larger than ordinary insects, it still belongs to the category of insects. After Uta and Hercules brought it back, Gabu felt uncomfortable all over.

Fortunately, Heracross is a beetle. If it was a bug like a caterpillar, he might have collapsed.

The duel between rhinoceros beetles was just a child's play, but it was the first time they had seen such a large-scale duel between rhinoceros beetles. Given the overall character of the Red Hair Pirates, they certainly would not miss the opportunity to watch the fun.

Jesus, who proposed the duel, even marked out a competition venue for Hercules and others in the open space. The way of the competition was also very simple. All they had to do was push the opponent out of the circle, which was similar to a sumo wrestling match.

"If you're ready... let's get started!"

Looking at the two rhinoceros beetles in position, Shanks gave the start order like the referee.

The levels of the two Heracrosses were not very high, but their "trainers" were even lower. Uta and Luffy didn't know what Pokémon were, let alone Pokémon's skills, so their battle command was weak and they were just cheering them on.

The horns of the two Heracrosses collided with each other, which is also the usual way for Heracross to duel.

"Come on! Rhinoceros Beetle, I'll treat you to some delicious juice later!"

"Not only will I treat you to juice, I'll also treat you to my new song!"

Apart from material incentives, they could not do anything else. The two children were cheering for Hercules because of their desire to win, but others discovered that Hercules was different.

The Red Hair Pirates are now roaming around the East China Sea and are completely bullying people. The people on the ship are also strong in the Grand Line, so they can naturally see that Heracross is extraordinary.

"Shanks, normal rhinoceros beetles shouldn't be this strong, and they are... too smart."

"Who knows? Isn't it because of these unknowns that people want to explore the sea? And Uta is very happy."

As Shanks spoke, he blended into the booing crowd. The duel ended with Uta's victory because she accidentally used the most powerful skill in the Pokémon world - Dodge.

Before Luffy's Heracross crashed into her, she tried to get Heracross to listen to her and dodge the opponent's attack, because the way they decided the victory or defeat was to see who got out of the circle first.

Whether being knocked out or rushing out by yourself, it is a way to get out of the circle.

In the end, Heracross listened to her advice, which led to this final result.

"Yeah! Victory number 183, Luffy, you lost again."

"No! You're cheating! How did you let it dodge?"

"Lululu~ I didn't say you can't dodge, you sore loser."

"No, I'll let you do it once, but I clearly won the previous 182 times!"

Amid the quarrel between Uta and Luffy, the duel ended here, and two more Heracross figures appeared in their lives.

Happy times are always short-lived, and soon it was time for Shanks to travel. This time their destination was also Elegia, and he planned to take Uta, who had outstanding musical talent, there to study music.

"Uta! Come back soon!"

At the seaside of Windmill Village, Luffy and his Hercules watched the Redfors disappear from their sight.

......

The Redvers set sail from Windmill Village, and Tezulo's merchant ship set sail from the Red Earth Continent. Although the starting points were different and Tezulo set sail earlier, because the merchant ship had to transport supplies along the way, Tezulo's sailing distance was much farther than Shanks.

So the two ships arrived at Elegia at almost the same time, and Shanks even arrived a few days earlier.

"Mr. Taizulo, this is the Red Hair Pirates. Are we going to land as usual?"

"It's a normal landing. Don't worry. They are not vicious pirates. Even for us, we don't need to be afraid. But why are they here?"

Shanks is now quite famous, and he is the most famous among the current "newcomers". He is a former crew member of the Pirate King, and his outstanding strength has made him a great pirate on the sea, but for some reason, he has never entered the New World.

Among the group of pirates, the Red Hair Pirates are undoubtedly the more "friendly" type, and there has been no negative news about them so far.

"So Mr. Tezulo, where are we going now?"

"Let's go meet the king first. This team building won't be short. We'll be disturbing him here for a long time. Tanaka, go and deliver the visiting letter first."

"I understand, please wait a moment."

Afterwards, Tanaka sent a letter in the name of the Beast Fruit Performing Arts Department, the main content of which was that he and others planned to exchange and study here for a period of time, and hoped that he could arrange admission.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Elegia. Foreign students are even the main source of economic and trade for the island. Every year, many people come here to learn vocal music, including some nobles, who all provide generous sponsorship.

Tezulo believed that Elegia had no reason to refuse this visit, so he led the people on the ship directly into the streets of Elegia, and here they encountered an unexpected creature.

"Xiaobai, where are you going?"

Walking on the street, the cat boss who had been following Stella suddenly ran in another direction. The cat boss's abnormal behavior made Tai Zuoluo and others feel a little strange, so they followed him. Then they saw the cat boss stopped in front of a large rhinoceros beetle.

"Heracross? Are all the creatures created by Lord Arceus here?"

Chapter 586: Uta's star-chasing scene, Olga and Shanks' past achievements

Outsiders don't know Pokémon, but the senior officials of Beasts are familiar with the known Pokémon. Although those scholars of O'Hara have just switched to studying Pokémon not long ago, even if the information is all hand-drawn, Rotom has already been popularized.

In order to prevent outside members from not being able to recognize the Pokémon created by Arceus, the Rotom Phone will update the types of Pokémon created by Arceus, but there is nothing else in the database except the race name, appearance and preferences.

This is similar to a low-level illustrated guide, and the principle is very simple. The carriers of these Rotom mobile phones have a central network on Onigashima that can transmit data in real time. Checking the updated news of Rotom mobile phones in their spare time has become the hobby of the Beastmen cadres.

Even ordinary members who are not equipped with mobile phones can get the news through other channels within the base. As a senior cadre, Tai Zuo Luo and his family are naturally familiar with the types of Pokémon.

"Really? I didn't expect it to be so fast. Xiaobai, did you come here because you sensed the presence of other Pokémon?"

"Meow~"

Tai Zuoluo stroked Xiaobai's cat head while looking at the surrounding environment.

"This is... Elegia's music school, right? Why is Heracross here? Heracross, have you found anything here?"

"Hello, hello."

Heracross shook his head and then pointed in the direction of the academy.

"Loto, it said its friend is in class inside, so it's waiting for her here."

Another use of Rotom when out and about is that they have a human voice system and can act as Pokémon translators. With the help of Rotom's translation function, Tezoro and the others easily understood what Heracross wanted to say.

At this time, the academy's bell for the end of get out of class rang, and Taizuolo and the others saw Uta running towards here from a distance.

"Tezulo, this child has nothing to do with us, right? Why is Heracross with her?"

"Lord Arceus said that Pokémon can understand humans' feelings, and if they are in a sincere relationship, Pokémon will give feedback. It should have chosen this girl.

Don't worry about it. If everything goes well, we will live here for a while. An, you have to study hard. "

"Understood. I will study hard."

Taizuolo, Stella and others also wanted to come here for further study, but they were different from An. Even Xin Duoli was already an adult, and their shaping period had long ended. Only An could take this opportunity to carry out more systematic training.

At this time, Uta, who saw the figure of Heracross, also ran over here.

"Ah Xian, why are you here...Ms. Stella?!

"

Ah Xian was the name she gave to Hercules. Because she didn't know the other party's race, she just randomly named it after the rhinoceros beetle. But when she saw Stella, the hair on the back of her head stood up excitedly.

"Are you..are you the real Ms. Stella? Wow, you're Mr. Tezulo, are you all here?!"

Uta, who lives in Windmill Village, is not a person who turns a deaf ear to the outside world. She is not only the daughter of Shanks, but also the daughter of the entire Red Hair Pirates. Because of her hobbies, the people in the Red Hair Pirates can find albums released in various places for her.

Although Tezulo and Stella are not pure musicians, they are also famous stars in the world. A pair of sunglasses has limited effect when they are in close contact, and they were quickly recognized by Uta.

"It's us. This Heracross... is your friend?"

"Hercules? Its name is A-Sen... Are you what A-Sen is looking for?"

Uta's tone became a little excited. She didn't want her friend to leave so soon.

"No, Heracross is the name of its species. All these rhinoceros beetles are called Heracross. Do you understand?"

With the help of Heracross's relationship, Stella quickly became familiar with Uta and even helped to sign an autograph for Uta.

"Ms. Stella, do you know Miss Karina and Ms. Maria Napoleon?"

"It's pretty familiar, right? What's wrong?"

"Are they here? They are the musicians I admire most. I also want to be a famous singer like them!"

"Unfortunately, they and I are not from the same agency. I'll introduce you to each other when I have the chance."

They belong to different brokerage companies, but they are from the same circle and have had some cooperation.

In this circle, as long as there is no blood feud, it means that both parties can cooperate with each other. Stella is just being polite at this time, and it is not certain whether they can meet again in the future.

Before they knew it, Stella and Uta had been chatting for a long time, and Uta, who had not returned home after school, attracted Shanks's search, and not long after, Shanks came here.

"Uta! It's time to go back!"

"Shanks~ Let me talk for a while, this is the real Miss Stella, she is my third favorite artist~"

Uta hugged Shanks' legs and started to act coquettishly, but she didn't notice that Shanks' eyes became unusually serious. Uta didn't know what the Hundred Beasts Fruit meant, but Shanks knew it very well.

"Hey, what are you doing here, Mr. Taizulo or... Mr. Sakaki?"

"Hmm? Your intelligence is pretty strong. Of course we're here to learn music. We're serious artists, and this is just a company team building. Shanks or... Red Hair?"

Different names represent different meanings. Taizoro doesn't know where Shanks knew the information about his code name. This has already reflected his ability. When he appeared as Sakaki, what he did was not so legal.

The same principle applies to his name, which is also a way of questioning among pirates. For pirates who are not familiar with him, the name and the bounty title represent different meanings. If he chooses Red Hair, it means unfriendliness.

"Indeed, I'm just studying music. There's a music pub next door, how about going for a drink?"

In a blink of an eye, the two strange men walked towards the tavern nearby with their arms around each other's shoulders, and Uta continued to ask Stella some questions about the entertainment industry.

It’s not that Shanks is careless. Besides him, other members of the Red Hair Pirates such as Beckman have also appeared nearby, so he felt at ease letting Uta chat with others.

After sitting down, Shanks seemed to be thinking about something, but Taizulo started a topic first.

"I suddenly remembered that Sister Olga asked someone to say hello to you when they see you."

"Olga..."

"You and that red-nosed girl are no match for each other, um, that's what Sister Olga said, don't you remember?"

Chapter 587 Tot Muscia - The Demon King of Song

"Oh, I still remember it. How could I forget it?"

Speaking of Olga, Shanks also recalled what happened in the past. That was an opponent that even he and Buggy could not defeat together, and they lost to the opponent twice using the same method.

He felt a little embarrassed when he talked about what happened back then. At the same time, he also thought of Buggy, who was now somewhere treasure hunting, and he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

"She actually remembers it so clearly?"

"After you became famous, Sister Olga was very dissatisfied. She said that the red-haired kid had become a great pirate. The navy was really incompetent. Well, that's what she said."

"Hahahaha, that's really interesting. If I have the chance, I should ask her for advice again. She's the first person who made me lose twice in a row."

Shanks did not hold a grudge about the dark history of that year. Instead, he talked about it with a smile. Although the result was not good, it was also a memory of his youth.

With the help of a few beers, Shanks and Taizulo started chatting temporarily until the topic turned to one person.

"Taizolo, you are from the Beasts, right?"

"Shanks, some things are better left unsaid. This is better for everyone. Since you have the information to know the code name, there are some things that I don't need to say explicitly."

"Even though that's the case, I still want to ask, what exactly happened to Mr. Oden?"

After the battle between Kaido and Whitebeard, it was revealed that the base of all beasts was in Wano Country. Although Whitebeard did not mention much about Kozuki Oden, some people were still puzzled by what exactly happened in Wano Country.

"I joined later. If you insist on giving me an answer... Kurozumi's rebellion killed him, his wife and children are missing, and his daughter Hiyori Kozuki is now the general of Wano Country."

This is the unified voice of all beasts, and it is also the text written in history by all beasts as the victor. Perhaps in a few years there will be later generations who will come to dig up the true history, but by that time, the naturalized Wano Country will no longer care about this impact.

"His tombstone is in Wano Country. If you want, you can go and pay your respects there. If you have the courage."

He was not surprised why Shanks asked this, he knew that Shanks was also one of Roger's crew members, and Oden had been on Roger's ship, so it was not surprising that Shanks knew him.

"This is the answer I can give you. If you are not satisfied, you can go and have a try with Mr. Kaido."

Shanks's face darkened for a moment, but then he smiled again.
