Arceus' Pirate Journey

When small blacksmiths evolve into skillful blacksmiths, their strength will undergo a qualitative change, and they will come into conflict with Commander Pi Zhan, because Commander Pi Zhan's sharp metal blades and sturdy armor are ideal materials for them to forge new hammers.

The skilled blacksmiths will attack Commander Pi Zhan's tribe in groups. At the same time, in order to test the strength of the hammers in their hands, they will start "internal fighting", which is specifically manifested by knocking on their companions' heads to see which is harder, the head or the hammer.

During this stage, they will continue to enrich their forging experience, and their intelligence will also develop rapidly. When they reach the stage of giant blacksmith, they have completed their growth.

The giant forgers bring not only strength, but also higher intelligence. The steel armored crows flying in the sky will become their targets.

Although they cannot fly, they can use the giant hammers in their hands as baseball bats, and after careful calculation, they will shoot rocks as if they were cannonballs, and their target is the iron feathers of the Steelix.

Although the hammer is huge, for the giant forger, it is an extension of his body and he does not need help from outsiders.

In order to prove their strength to Yamato, the giant blacksmiths also demonstrated their fancy flying hammers and passed their hammers to each other.

...

With the help of the Tanabata Bluebird flight, Yamato and the others quickly arrived at Rabbit Bowl, and the first thing the giant blacksmith did was not to forge things, but to learn.

They are giant blacksmiths that were created directly. They are more powerful, but have lost the exquisite skills they have honed since childhood. In contrast, they have a forging learning speed that humans cannot match.

In the Tuwan forge, the flames in the forge were burning fiercely, and from time to time a large charcoal cart would throw coal in. The forge was filled with shirtless craftsmen, and the sound of metal colliding never stopped.

The factory is staffed by normally employed craftsmen, while the prisoners at the Rabbit Bowl Mine work in the raw material workshop, and they are generally not allowed to do such delicate work.

The efficiency of voluntary labor and forced labor is completely different, especially the internal ranking mechanism. These people are unwilling to be surpassed by their peers. Instead, they compete with each other and want to forge weapons of better quality.

"Master Guiji, you are here."

When the guards at the door saw Yamato with the giant forge, they quickly made way for the door. They were only arranged here to prevent some rare materials from being taken out privately, and their nature was the same as the factory security.

"Please come this way. Lord Arceus has made all the arrangements."

The giant blacksmiths went to different locations separately, and only one stayed with Yamato. They did not speak, but just watched the craftsmen swinging hammers, quenching, and polishing, madly absorbing experience from them.

"Master Onihime, please come this way. Master Arceus has told you to choose the materials for your new weapon yourself."

She didn't have much of a role in the factory. Forging required more than just brute force. Other giant forges were learning the skills of forging, while the one next to her was helping her select materials.

There is no need to learn how to distinguish the quality of materials. For the giant blacksmith, it is like an instinct.

Led by other pirates, Yamato followed the giant blacksmith to the Rabbit Bowl Quarry, which was also bustling with activity.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Take all the materials to the square. Lady Onihime will be here soon!"

"Everyone, be honest, especially you guys. You only have a few months left in your sentence. If you offend Lady Guiji, Lord Arceus will not let you go. It will be wishful thinking to think about mining here!"

Chapter 639: The Result of Being Caught Skipping Class

The voices of resistance within Wano are basically all here. Even if there are some remaining in the outside world, they are two completely different types of people.

The prison is full of radicals like Hodie Jones, while most people outside have given up resistance, and as time goes by, even their hearts are changing.

Those dangerous elements are all serious criminals and have no chance of coming into contact with Yamato, but the prison guards are worried that some of these ordinary prisoners may be misled and do irrational things.

Even throwing an ordinary stone or saying an insulting word means that they have failed in their duty. These are not death row prisoners, so the deterrent effect of sentence is the best method.

Iron ore, seastone, the shell that Boskodora replaced, the rock fragments dropped from the fight with Geodude, the special crystals that fell off of Grindelwald, whether it was underground minerals or materials produced on Pokémon's bodies, were all carried to the square.

"Master Babanuki, everything is ready."

There were mountains of materials piled up in the empty square. In Wano Country, these materials were enough to drive any blacksmith crazy. To them, they were priceless treasures.

With these excellent materials, they can complete the casting of many things.

Even ordinary people can exchange this batch of rare materials for a large amount of funds. Apart from anything else, there are not many high-purity seastones even within the World Government, but here they are just ordinary materials.

"Very good, Davego, take your men to patrol more and don't cause any trouble today."

"It's already been arranged. Don't worry, Boss. Those people still want to get out alive and won't cause trouble at this time."

"It's better to be cautious. Some people in Wano Country don't have good brains, and you know that."

"Well, I'll go then."

What Babanuki worried about did not become a reality. The people working and in the prison behaved very honestly. Yamato did not care about these people, but selected materials with the giant forger.

The giant forge's way of selecting materials is very direct, which is to smash them with their hammers. They can judge the quality of the materials in this way.

After selecting the appropriate materials, the giant blacksmith returned to the forge and joined the giant blacksmith training team. It would still take some time for them to learn.

Their natural talent for forging will greatly shorten their learning cycle, but they cannot learn it in one go; it will take some time.

Yamato temporarily lost her weapon, but she realized this was a unique opportunity.

......

"Huh? What did you say?"

"My Ajian is broken, and the giant forgers are still learning how to forge, so I don't have a weapon now. It's a pity that I can't train with you, father, during this period of time."

For her, this seemed like an opportunity to take a leave. Yamato, Jack, Maria, Setsuna, and Olga could be said to be Kaido's first-term and second-term students. At their level, physical training alone was meaningless.

Moreover, physical training does not require Kaido's intervention. In this regard, Kaido is not as useful as weights. They will also take the initiative to exercise on their own. Kaido brings more practical experience, such as the extended teaching of his Thunder Bagua and the practice of domineering.

Yamato spends most of her time challenging big bosses, but Kaido occasionally gives her a surprise check or extra training.

Ajian's damage gave her an excuse to take a break.

"Hehe, that's a really good reason..."

Upon hearing this, Kaido shook the Eight Precepts in his hand a few times, then put the mace aside.

"Father, do you think this is reasonable? Then I..."

曾！

A few strands of hair fell, and green light claws extended from Kaido's fingers. They were the dragon claws. At this time, the extended claw blades had already penetrated deeply into the ground in front of Yamato.

"Wow! Are you going to kill me!

"

"How could that be? As long as you were still alive, your foster father would have been able to rescue you. It seems like something has gone wrong with you. Do you not know how to fight without your weapon?"

"No..that's not what I meant. I meant..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I won't use my weapon until yours is repaired. The animal-type body itself is the greatest weapon. You have to learn to use the power of this fantasy beast."

"I think you may have misunderstood something..."

Looking at Kaido whose domineering, devil fruit, and abilities granted by Arceus were all unfolding at the same time, Yamato had a very bad premonition.

"Make no mistake. The enemy will not stop attacking you just because you have no weapons. So you are here to hone your fists and feet. This time the task is to use your fists to perform the Thunder Bagua. Don't worry, I will go all out, including using the power of your foster father."

Yamato's reason for asking for leave just gave Kaido a perfect opportunity. If he didn't have weapons, he could just use hand-to-hand combat. There are many ways to train in combat, and it just happened to be a new subject for her to add.

Kaido did not use any weapons, but the dragon claws attached to his hands made his destructive power even more terrifying, and Yamato once again began her one-sided beating.

It’s not that she can’t fight without a weapon. Kaido was beating her with his fists before using a weapon, but this was the first time he used the dragon claws.

Soon she was forced into a blind spot in the training ground. Facing Kaido's dragon claws, the barrier she was defending quickly expanded in front of her.

"Oh? Have you mastered the skill of guarding? It seems you haven't been slacking off recently."

The dragon claw was blocked by the barrier, and Kaido also expressed some praise for Yamato.

"Yes, so father, what I want to express is actually..."

She just wanted to find a reason to ask for leave, but the various things Arceus gave her had a side effect at this time, and she didn't even have a reason to ask for sick leave, because this physique would never get sick.

But before she could finish her words, she saw a familiar purple wave coming from Kaido.

"and many more!

Dragon Dance??!

"

"Didn't I say I would do my best? Yamato, there is a limit to holding on. It can bring stronger defense, but it is based on your own strength. You are still far from it now!"

Ka...ka...kacha!

After holding on for a few seconds, the strengthened Kaido shattered the barrier created by Yamato and approached her step by step.

The strengthened Kaido basically crushed Yamato. She was forced to run away most of the time, and her counterattacks when she got the chance were hardly effective. From time to time, cries for help could be heard from the training ground.

It's just that everyone is used to it and has no intention of going over to avoid getting into trouble.

"Is this the 'daughter' that Your Majesty values ​​so much? This is a very suitable name for you, Zekrom."

"Ideals are not naive. She is still far from perfect, but at least there is room for growth. It is precisely such a "blank slate" that can grow, isn't it?"

“…”

Chapter 640: The Magical Uses of Cat Toys

In a special space, Zekrom and Laisiram were discussing what had just happened. This was a split in their minds where they could perceive the situation in the outside world.

Ideals and reality are not absolutely opposite. Although Zekrom and Lysilam symbolize different directions, they are not absolute enemies. Ideals rely on reality, and reality is born from ideals. The combination of the two is perfect.

After a few simple words, Zekrom and Lysilam stopped talking and hid their existence. They had no interest in watching people being beaten.

......

after a while.

[December 1511, 12 in the Haiyuan calendar, cloudy.

The two little guys are very energetic, maybe they inherited Zeraora's talent, they are so active...】

"Meow~meow!"

At this time, a cat's meow was heard next to Setsuna.

Setsuna continued writing in her diary, while in her other hand she picked up a cat toy and waved it quickly. The doll made of feathers at the front was attracting her daughter's attention.

"Hey, is this really reasonable?"

Zeraora, who had just returned, looked at the set in front of him with a frown on his face. Zuo Wu's parenting style always made him feel scared.

"No problem, no problem. We have been doing this for hundreds of years. After all, we are the fur tribe. You grew up in the open sea so you don't know. It's just that your ideas are closer to humans.

These two little guys are too energetic. If they are not allowed to spend some time during the day, they will not be able to sleep well at night."

Setsuna continued to wave the cat toy in his hand, and let his daughter catch it a few times. When her interest waned, he replaced it with a new one, and even used Perona's negative ghost to do some work.

Cat fur will always be interested in similar things.

There is nothing wrong with what Setsuna said. Zeraora is not a true Fur Tribe. Their philosophy of life comes from Arceus, and is basically common sense for humans and Pokémon. Even if it is a cat Pokémon, there is no need to use a cat teaser when raising a child.

Suddenly, Setsuna's cat toy passed in front of Zeraora, but Zeraora did not react at all.

"Look, you're the weirdest one. You're the first cat fur I've seen that doesn't react to a cat teaser. Even that bastard Cat Viper would react."

After all, the Fur Tribe has animal characteristics. For cat furs, cat toy is the best toy. At first, Setsuna wanted to use the cat toy to play some tricks with Zeraora, but he was not interested in it.

Similarly, they also have an obsession with catnip, but it is not as strong as that of ordinary cats. Perfume containing catnip ingredients is the favorite thing for cat fur.

If her daughter wasn't so young, Setsuna would really bring back some catnip.

To be more precise, she originally had a catnip-scented perfume, but she locked it away after her daughter was born.

Although catnip does not affect Zeraora, the perfumes of the fur tribe are all very light plant fragrances. If the smell is too strong, it will have a serious impact on their own sense of smell.

"As for me...I can catch you no matter how fast you swing."

As he spoke, Zeraora demonstrated his almost teleporting speed, grabbing the cat toy in Setsuna's hand and picking up his daughter who was being teased.

"That's why I said you're different from the others. Speaking of that idiot Cat Viper... I don't know where he and Inuarashi ran off to. Why are they running? We can't really kill them."

There are rarely any deep hatreds among the Minks. Because of their rare numbers, they are more united. She doesn't care about the Cat Viper. Having few deep hatreds doesn't necessarily mean that the relationship will be harmonious.

If we were to make a table of hatred among the same race, Cat Viper would definitely be at the top of the list, but Inuarashi is different from him.

The Mink Tribe had looked for them over the years, but there was no news at all.

"Don't think about it, it should be nothing, but...how were you raised as a child?"

"Ah?"

"Cat Fur is interested in the cat teaser, you are a wolf... Do uncle and aunt use bird bones or fish bones? Or balls?"

As he spoke, Zeraora looked at the bag of miscellaneous toys that Setsuna had bought. Logically speaking, the things prepared for his son should be the ones that Setsuna had played with when he was a child.

"I can't remember. I don't think it's important. Don't look for it. There are no toys belonging to my son in there, only those belonging to my daughter. My parents took away my son's toys this morning."
