Arceus' Pirate Journey

“With your speed, it would only take you 20 minutes at most to get here from where you were yesterday, but you took a full 15 hours to go around the entire mountain. I can’t find any other words to describe you.

By the way, this is your knife. I’m returning it to you. I even did some maintenance for you.”

Robin got the result she wanted. She had thought things too complicatedly. The person in front of her simply didn't know the way, not that he had a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness.

According to his detour method, he would not be blocked at the location I estimated.

Based on Zoro's performance, she also added the label of unclear self-awareness after the word "difficult to navigate".

After throwing the knife back, Robin lost interest in this and planned to go on a public-funded trip as originally planned. However, Johnny and Joseph saw that the woman their eldest brother had found with great difficulty was about to leave like this, and they immediately wanted to stop him.

"and many more!"

"Speak clearly!"

"Four-wheeled flower blossoms, tripwire."

Then there was a sound of falling. The ankles of two people were grabbed and they fell straight to the ground. Even Zoro next to them suffered the same treatment.

It was at this time that Zoro noticed that what appeared on the ground was nothing but arms.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm just a traveler looking for answers. Now that I've gotten what I wanted, I'm naturally not interested in tangling with you anymore. As for this, haven't you heard of devil fruits?"

"So in your eyes, I'm just a toy?"

His reputation as a pirate hunter gradually spread, and he is now a little arrogant. He thought he had taken a big step towards the promise he made that year, but now it seems that he thought too much.

"I didn't mean that. You'd better not think too much about it. By the way, you are considered relatively strong in this East China Sea."

"Where are you from?"

"Where? If we're talking about the Grand Line now, let's say."

“Are the people there strong?”

"Very strong. If you were put on the Grand Line right now, I'm afraid you wouldn't even make a splash. Well, consider these answers as my compensation for torturing you. See you again if we're lucky, Mr. Directionless."

After answering some of Zoro's questions, Nico Robin turned and left. Zoro, who stood up again, did not do anything extreme. He saw a bigger world in advance, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's decided, Johnny, Joseph, I'm going to the Grand Line too."

His goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman. This is a path he will have to take sooner or later, provided he can recognize the way. Given his current situation, it would be quite difficult for him to find Upside Down Mountain.

"Wait, Brother Zoro, where are you going now?"

"Leave this town, where else can I go?"

"But...the way out is over there."

They did not dissuade Zoro. In their opinion, Zoro might really be able to make a name for himself in the Grand Line. Of course, it was more important to take him away from here first.

After a funded tour around the East China Sea and exploring one or two ruins, Robin returned to Alabasta on the pretext that she had not found Zoro. This result did not make Crocodile doubt, because except for Mr. 7, none of the people he sent out could find Zoro.

Every once in a while, Yamato would try to reason with the two dragons, but since he couldn't reason with them and couldn't beat physics, they would return to the starting point again. Arceus and Kaido would take turns going out to search, and time would little by little come to the end of 1517.

......

In Wano Country, Kuri, Meowna and Wolf are very happy recently as their seventh birthday is coming soon.

This means that they are one year older and want to grow up. They like to celebrate their birthdays. This is the childishness that only children have. As they grow older and gain more experience, adults who understand the meaning of time are not so looking forward to birthdays.

Not only Meona and Wolf, but also Yang Jisi Khan are looking forward to this day.

"Regent, are you so happy?"

In the Furry Principality, a lion looked at the excited Yang Jisi Khan and didn't quite understand. It wasn't a special day recently.

"You don't understand, Sicilian, I should have retired many years ago, but she said she was still young, so I stayed on as Duke for a few more years.

But this kid, Setsuna...she forced me into a seven-year agreement. Now her kid has grown up and is strong enough, and the agreed date has come. I wonder what else she can do!"

As he spoke, Yangjisi Khan touched his head. After giving up the title of Duke, he no longer wore the crown. Now he had no ornaments on his head, and even his hair had become much thinner.

Everything in Zuowu was developing in a good direction, but as a manager, he had more and more things to deal with.

He originally thought that Setsuna was still a naive child, but he didn't expect that she was so cunning. After gaining the power of the Duke, she took advantage of the loophole that the Duke could command all the Minks, causing him, an old senior, to work overtime for seven years.

'Moo! '

The elephant master let out a cry and then stopped. According to the previous communication, it came to the vicinity of Wano Country again.

Looking at the Wano Country which was higher than the sea level, Yangjisi Khan left Zuowu directly and ran towards Setsuna's residence.

He had been to Setsuna and Zeraora's home more than once and was very familiar with the place, but this time he found that there were a lot more ducks here.

"Setsuna! Setsuna! Come out now! It's time! I've finally been waiting for this day!"

As soon as he got nearby, he could no longer contain his joy, but he shouted several times, and in the end only Meowna and Wolf came out.

"Grandpa Yang Jisihan, what do you want to talk to mom about?"

"Meowna, Wolf, where is your mother? I'm here to give her a present. There are also birthday presents for you. You will soon be the prince and princess of the Furry Principality. Are you happy?"

Although the highest leader is called the Duke, he is actually the King of Zuowu, so there is nothing wrong with this title.

In the past, when the leaders of Zuowu gave up the title of Duke, they might not have any offspring. Shanshan had set a precedent.

"What are the benefits of that identity?"

"Yeah, what can I do instead?"

"Well...when I go back and ask your parents, first tell me where your mother is."

"do not know."

"Yeah, I don't know. Mom said she went out to play before, but she didn't tell us where she went."

Hearing the two children's answers, Yangjis Khan was not surprised. He had already expected that this matter would not go so smoothly.

He immediately took out Setsuna's life card. His two children's birthdays were approaching, and he didn't believe that this mother would leave Wano Country.

Chapter 825 You just succeed to the throne obediently!

Following the guidance of the life card, Yang Jisi Khan gradually came from Jiuli to Baiwu. According to the guidance of the life card, Setsuna should be nearby, but the place in front of him...

[Female hot spring, no men allowed]

A huge sign stood in front of him, blocking Yangjisi Khan's steps.

There are many hot springs in Wano Country. Although there are areas for mixed bathing, most areas are separated by gender. Even in mixed bathing areas, most of the people there are middle-aged and elderly people from Wano Country.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Yangjisi Khan. He is not interested in mixed bathing. He just wants to capture Shanna to succeed to the throne.

The good news is that Setsuna is still in Wano Country, at least she hasn't completely lost her moral integrity. The bad news is that she is in a place she can't enter at all.

At this time, Yangjis Khan's expression didn't change at all. It was just a hot spring, just a bath, it would only take a few hours.

Finding a tree stump nearby, Yang Jisi Khan silently waited for the other party to come out. Her life was at stake, and it was impossible for her to disappear out of thin air.

But until the sun set, he still didn't see Shanna.

"Meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"

A few Meli sheep passed by nearby, looked at Yang Jisi Khan who was sitting next to them in a daze, and sent him a greeting.

"Well, Miss, could you please go in and find someone for me?"

After waiting for a long time, Yang Jisi Khan finally couldn't sit still anymore. He looked at the shepherdess passing by and asked her for help.

"Ah...but there..."

Looking at the place where Yangjis Khan pointed, she showed hesitation.

The identity of the Mink Tribe has been successfully integrated into Wano Country, and no one thinks they are monsters.

Under the ruling system of the Beasts, the number of people with animal-type abilities has increased sharply, and the appearance of animals has become a symbol of strength. In addition, the Minks who often stay in Wano Country are either high-ranking cadres or family members of cadres, and they have long been accustomed to all of this.

"What's wrong? Isn't this a female hot spring?"

"That's true, but that's a high-end club for cadres. Only cadres, their families, and staff can enter. Ordinary people can't enter."

After explaining the situation to Yangjisi Khan, the girl took the sheep and left, leaving Yangjisi Khan at a loss.

It was a club exclusively for cadres, men were not allowed in, and one could not enter without a cadre bringing him in. He felt as if he had been tricked.

At the same time, inside the hot spring, Setsuna, who was soaking in the hot spring, was looking at the life card in his hand.

"As expected, you are here. This is too punctual."

"Sister, I heard from mom that you always wanted to be a duke when you were a child. Why don't you want to succeed to the throne now?"

"Wanda, people always change. Do you still remember your childhood dreams?"

As an older sister, although she doesn't have the aura of an older sister, she can still rely on this identity to teach others a lesson.

"When I was a child... I really don't remember. I didn't want anything in particular then. But now I want more things."

“So people always change. I used to think that the position of Duke was high and mighty, and that he could command the entire Zuowu, which was very impressive. But later I found that the position of Duke carried too much responsibility.

Yang Jisi Khan can remember everyone's name, but I don't have that ability. Except for a few acquaintances, I can't remember the names of so many fur tribesmen. "

"But sister, you are strong enough. Both you and Zeraora are stronger than the Dukes of all generations. The stone that can make people enter the Moon Lion state and the ability to communicate with the Lord of the Elephant are all things that we could not even imagine before."

"That is the power of Lord Arceus. Without his power, none of us would be able to do this."

As he spoke, Shanshan used the power of wave guidance to fetch the ice tea on the table dozens of meters away and drank it all in one gulp.

"So, Wanda, you should also work harder. Don't always stay in Zuowu. Go out and fight more. Then I can ask Zeraora to talk to Lord Arceus and find you someone with similar abilities."

As he spoke, he stood up from the hot spring, walked to a piece of hay-covered ground, and used electricity to dry his fur.

"Hmm? Sister, are you going out now?"

"Yeah, I don't want to spend the night here."

"I thought you were going to make Yang Jisi Khan give up here."

Shanna dragged her here early in the morning. She thought that Shanna was going to delay and make Yangjis Khan never find her.

"It's useless. He hasn't left for a whole day. He just wants to keep waiting. After all, it's not the first time he has urged me to take the throne. It's not a good idea to keep wasting time like this."

......

"Hey, where's your sister?"

"She said... to go to Yang Jisi Khan to discuss the succession."

When Ling returned here, Setsuna had disappeared, leaving only Wanda with a look of surprise on her face. It can be said that this elder sister had gone to great lengths to avoid succeeding to the throne, but it was abnormal for her to be so happy about it.

"I'm afraid she has come up with some new tricks. Yang Jisi Khan is really working hard."

Even though Shanshan ran away from home when she was very young, Ling knew that her daughter was very playful and would never stay in Zuowu as a king like Yangjisi Khan did.

But she didn't know what kind of excuse Setsuna had prepared.

......

"Senior Yang Jisihan, what are you doing sitting here alone?"

Shanshan appeared in front of Yangjisi Khan with an innocent look on his face, but Yangjisi Khan didn't believe this innocent face at all. This date was agreed upon by them when they left last time, and he didn't believe that Shanshan couldn't remember it.

"What do you think?"

"That's boring, Senior. How about you consider it and I just hand over the position of Duke to someone else?"

"Do you think that if someone other than you were to sit in this position now, would anyone else agree?"

The Duke of Zuowu had great power and could have appointed an heir at will, and the people would not normally object. However, Shanna had brought too many changes to Zuowu and had also set a precedent for being able to communicate with the Lord of the Elephants.

Even if she personally appointed them, it would be difficult for others to win their support without any meritorious achievements.

"Don't play tricks on me! I'm letting you succeed to the throne as the Duke, but I'm not trying to harm you. When you were a kid and kept clamoring for my position, why didn't you think about this day?"

"You didn't promise me then!"

"But I agreed a few years ago, and don't forget, you signed a contract with me!"

As he spoke, Yangjis Khan took out the document from that year, which had Shana's signature and fingerprint on it.

[Seven years later, he returned to Zuowu and inherited the title of Duke.]

Yang Jisi Khan smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the particularly bold handwriting on the document, and the same thing happened to him in the next moment.

"It looks like you are finally ready to take the throne."
