Arceus' Pirate Journey

Chapter 5: Murloc, Half-Murloc, CP

"Captain Sasaki, what are we waiting for here?"

Sasaki is still leading his old subordinates, and this is the case for most of the pirates who joined Hyakkuma halfway. Hyakkuma has no intention of splitting up his subordinates, but lets the original captain lead the previous personnel.

"Wait for someone, this is Captain Kaido's order, don't ask so many questions."

He didn't know who the contact person was, he just sent his location to the other party.

"You guys can do whatever you want, I'll just wait here."

After waiting for a while and not seeing the contact person, Sasaki told his younger brothers to go and do what they wanted to do, but at this time, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Sasaki?"

"Mom?"

“Mom…Mom?!”

Hearing Sasaki's address, the younger brothers around him exclaimed in surprise.

"Captain...Captain, is this woman your mother?"

"I told you not to call me Captain. I'm not Captain anymore. She's my mom. What's the problem?"

After joining Beasts, Sasaki gave up his identity as captain, but his former brothers were not used to it yet and still called him by his previous title when they went on missions with him.

Sasaki was not angry about this, but the next sentence almost made him unable to hold back.

"Boss Sasaki, you actually have a mother..."

Snapped!

It was not Sasaki who did the action, but the younger brother next to him. They quickly pulled the mute man aside and yelled at him, "Are you an idiot? Did you jump out of a stone without a mother?

"

Sometimes beating someone is for his own good, and saying “you actually have a mother” in front of others is simply ironic.

"Just do what you need to do and don't bother me."

Seeing his mother appear, Sasaki urged his younger brothers to leave here as soon as possible.

At Sasaki's urging, the younger brothers quickly disappeared from his sight, leaving only Sasaki and his mother.

"You suddenly went out to sea and your brother and I were shocked."

"What's there to be scared of? I'm just pursuing my dream. What about you and big brother?"

"It's still the same. What are your plans this time?"

"Just carrying out a mission. I will leave after a while."

Sasaki had no intention of recognizing her mother. Anyway, her elder brother was still with her, and given her identity, she posed no threat in the Seven Water City, so there was no need to worry at all.

Meeting will bring new separation, so it is better not to meet. He has no plan to go home until his dream is fulfilled. Being an ordinary shipbuilder in the Seven Water City is not his goal.

While Sasaki was chatting with his mother, his Rotom phone released a weak electric current into his body, reminding him that the contact person had arrived.

"Robin? What are you doing here?"

"Granny Kokoro? I'm here to date someone, why are you here?"

Robin called out the name of Sasaki's mother - Kokoro, a mermaid.

She came to Water 7 because she admired Tom, but later married a local human. Since she was away from Fishman Island for a long time, the locals were not aware of this.

During her life in the Seven Water City, she worked as a beautiful secretary in Tom's studio and gave birth to two half-mermaid children - Sasaki and his brother.

This is also the origin of Sasaki's fangs and horns. He is not like Ulti and Page One, but a hybrid of the fishmen. His fangs and sharp horns are manifestations of his fishman bloodline.

Judging from his appearance alone, he looks even more like a murloc than Jack, a pure-blooded murloc.

Robin met Kokoro several times when she was looking for a job in Water Seven City, so she knew each other, but when she saw Kokoro at the meeting place, she felt a little confused.

Looking at the Rotom phone in Robin's hand, Sasaki also understood that this was the person arranged here by Baishou.

"She's my mother. The previous news said it wasn't a secret operation, so it should be okay, right?"

He really didn't know what the specific mission was, but he knew it was not a secret operation, otherwise he wouldn't be waiting here so carelessly. Meeting his mother by chance was something he had not expected.

According to his previous memory, Kokoro would never pass by this area whether he was commuting to get off work or strolling around.

"Nothing, just a little thing."

Robin's purpose in Water Seven is almost accomplished. Some family members know that her identity is not a big problem, and her purpose of applying for manpower is not complicated.

Bring the latest archaeological data and the information she collected about the sea train back to Onigashima, deal with the pirates in the Seven Water Cities, and guard against unexpected situations that she might encounter during her investigation.

Those agents of the World Government are not some secret organization, they are just the lowest-level agents, and Sasaki's level is enough to deal with them.

The reason why we have to deal with the pirates from Water Seven City is because of Taizoro. Since a new store has opened, the staff here is not sufficient and it is often harassed by pirates passing by.

Originally, this matter should have been handled by Taizulo, but he has been busy expanding the business recently, and Robin also needed manpower anyway, so he just let her handle it together.

Sasaki has been sparring with Boskodora for the past few years, but has not become very famous. Even his bounty is still 8800 million berries before he joined the Hundred Beasts.

Therefore, Kokoro didn't know what his youngest son had experienced over the years. He only learned from his words that his son seemed to have joined some powerful pirate group.

In the end, Sasaki did not choose to go home, but went directly to carry out his mission. The fact that the bounty has not changed does not mean that his strength has not changed. Compared with himself a few years ago, Sasaki has made a qualitative leap.

Not to mention anything else, just relying on the powerful defense brought by the city dragon, few people could hurt him in the first half of the Grand Line. Moreover, during the chat, he also learned that his eldest brother was married and had children, and just had a daughter named Zimoni this year.

A child with a quarter mermaid bloodline, although she cannot breathe underwater, this bloodline enables her to have excellent water skills.

On the other side, a seemingly ordinary ship was approaching the Seven Water City, but the crew members on board were all fishmen.

"Big Brother, what are we doing here?"

"Find someone to build us a new boat, and also deliver a letter for Dan. There is a genius of the fish-man tribe living on this island, and Uncle Tom is known as the world's best shipbuilder."

This is a new expedition team formed by Tiger. He wants to search for holy relics around the world and needs a better ship. The purpose of this trip is to visit Tom.

On the other side of the island, CP5 led by Spandam was also on the way to the Seven Water City.

Chapter 644 Tiger, Tom, and Franky

On the street, Tiger covered his face with a heavy robe. He was still a dead man in name, so it was better for him to cover up when entering such occasions.

The face blindness here is very serious. Although the cloak is dressed in a strange way, it doesn't attract much attention.

"Brother Tiger, the people here...are a little weird."

Except for Tiger, the other fishmen did not hide their identities, but the surrounding residents looked at them without discrimination.

Having been discriminated against so much, they are no longer used to normal looks. There are still some strange looks, but compared to the islands they have visited before, there are far fewer of them.

"This is a normal phenomenon. Keep working hard. What we are doing is hoping that one day in the future, everyone will be able to view our descendants this way."

The Seven Waters City is relatively friendly to the murlocs, and this is all thanks to Tom. The sea train he built saved the economy of the Seven Waters City and gave the island a brand new future.

As a result, he gained the respect of others, which changed the people of the Seven Water City's views on the merfolk to a certain extent.

It was easy to find out where Tom lived, and Tiger and his team soon found out where Tom lived. However, when Tiger and his team found Tom's workshop, they discovered that there were many CP agents outside.

"Brother, they are all human agents, what should we do?"

"Wait a minute, these guys don't look like they're on a mission, they should leave after a while."

Without any special circumstances, Tiger didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the people from the World Government right now, so it would be fine to wait a little longer. It was not until Spandam left here angrily that Tiger took Aaron and the others into Tom's workshop.

When Tiger took off his hood, Tom's first reaction was disbelief.

"Fisher Tiger? Aren't you dead?"

In terms of age, Tom is Tiger's senior. When Tom left Fishman Island, Tiger was still a child. However, the title of the hero who liberated slaves was very influential, and even Tom had heard of it.

He had mourned Tiger for a while when he saw the news of his death, but he didn't expect that Tiger would be standing in front of him alive again.

"A lot of things have happened. Anyway, I'm working towards a new goal now. Uncle Tom, we need a new ship. Can I trouble you? We'll pay for it. If possible, it'd better have stronger firepower."

Hearing the fire power, Tom didn't express his opinion yet, but a young man next to him was interested. He was Frankie, one of Tom's two disciples. Now only Tom and a few acquaintances would call him Frankie.

In the registration book of Water 7, his name is actually Carter Fram. During the process of Tom building the sea train, he also made many "Franky Battles" to fight against the sea kings.

But before he could get a word in, he was pulled away by Bingshan, another disciple of Tom.

"There's no problem building a ship, but you'll have to wait for a while."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"If it's fast, it will be one or two months. If it's slow, I don't know. I'm still a sinner. I have to wait for the trial in three days to find out the exact result."

With the completion of the construction of the sea train, Tom's probation period also ended, and a new round of trial would come in three days, but most people had heard about the news.

Tom's achievements in building the sea train smoothed out the guilt of building Roger's boats, and after three days he was innocent.

"Judgment? Old man, you are a fishman, why do you have to wait for humans to judge you? Just come with us to the sea. The vast sea is enough for us fishmen to swim freely. The worst that can happen is that we will become pirates. What is there to be afraid of?"

Aaron didn't understand Tom's explanation, but wanted to get Tom to join him.

"Young man, you don't understand my experience. This place contains my youth and the ties I left behind. If I just leave, it will be a problem for others."

"What is it..."

"Aaron!"

"..."

Seeing that Aaron wanted to continue to refute Tom, Tiger directly scolded Aaron, then handed Dan's letter to Tom, and then took Aaron and the others to stay in the Seven Water City temporarily.

Three days was a very short time. During this time, Sasaki did not do anything big. He just taught a few ordinary pirates a lesson and at the same time guarded against possible special situations.

The natives of the Seven Waters City were all waiting for the trial. They were all expecting the news that Tom was innocent, but there was one exception - Spandam.

He came here not for anything else but for Pluto's design drawings. For this, he boasted to the Five Elders and only then was he qualified to come to the Seven Water City to carry out the mission.

The Five Elders knew very well where the real Pluto was, but the reasons given by Spandam also convinced them, so they sent Spandam and the agents here.

Once Tom was acquitted, he would have no reason to search Tom in a fair manner. For his own future, Spandam had a crooked mind. He sent someone to steal the battleship made by Franky, and on the day of the trial, Manipulated those ships to attack the judicial ship.

Since those ships were built by Franky, they had no way to deal with Spandam's accusations. At this time, Tom made his own decision.

He gave Franky the chance to avoid punishment by building the sea train, and he continued to stand trial as he had done more than a decade ago.

In order to get the design, Spandam wanted to arrest all three people and take them to Judicial Island, but at the last moment, the judge of the judicial ship stopped Spandam because according to the law, Tom was the only one guilty.

It was impossible for Spandam to openly violate the laws of the World Government, and he believed that the design drawings of Pluto were in Tom's possession, so he finally accepted this result.

"Those bastards actually dared to do this... Big Brother, let's go and rescue him!"

Looking at Tom who fell to the ground injured, Aaron almost attacked the guards.

He didn't understand Tom's ideas, but Tom had agreed to build a ship for them three days ago. The most important thing was that Tom was a fishman, and Aaron couldn't accept that the World Government would capture a fishman like this.

But he was caught by Tigra.

"Big brother? Are we just going to watch?"

"Of course not, it's just not time yet. You've heard that they want to transport Uncle Tom to Judicial Island for trial, which requires passing through the sea. We are fishmen, so of course we have to take advantage of the sea. Let's go! Intercept them!"

During this time, Tiger had learned about various situations on the sea, and also knew where the Seven Water Cities would pass if they wanted to reach the Judicial Island.

This is land, and even if they can kidnap Tom, they may not be able to retreat safely, so he plans to ambush in the ocean in advance, and then after kidnapping Tom, they can directly escape into the sea.

Chapter 645 Spandam Raises the Flag

Deep in the ocean, the mermen led by Tiger are swimming quickly towards their destination. Although the mermen's speed is not as fast as the mermaids, they are still the first echelon in the ocean, second only to the mermaids.

The direction of tracking was easy to determine. At that time, Spandam told Tom publicly that Tom would be sent to Judicial Island for trial by the sea train he built.

As long as they follow the tracks leading to Judicial Island, they will find the sea train that is escorting Tom.

"Brother, there's a small boat up there. It looks like Tom's human disciple is on it, and there's a frog that can free-swim next to it!"

The place where they swam was not too far from the sea surface, so they could roughly see the situation on the sea surface.

"Brother Tiger, that kid seems to want to save Tom too. Should we change our plan?"

"No, he has nothing to do with us. Once we let them send the people to Judicial Island, we will have no chance. If he has an idea, it's just right. After his action, the enemy's vigilance may be reduced, and the original plan will remain unchanged."

The track of the sea train was laid over a long distance, and Tiger chose the middle reaches of the track as the location for the operation, where the ocean currents were relatively the most dangerous, making it more convenient for them to move. As long as they could get the sea train into the water, the ocean currents would bring them enough trouble.

Normal tracks cannot be built here, but the tracks of the sea train are very peculiar. They are not as solid as the rails on land, but float in the sea like a soft rope, so they can exist in dangerous ocean currents.
