Arceus' Pirate Journey

Griffin collided with Hachiyaki, and the clash of domineering colors rose from momentum to reality.

Shanks had seen all of this and was not surprised.

Shanks has a unique advantage in observation Haki. His observation Haki itself has reached the level of predicting the future, and he also has the special ability of observation killing, which makes him immune to other people's observation Haki perception.

With these two abilities, he always gets the upper hand in battle.

The other members of the Red Hair Pirates had no intention of intervening. This was a battle between their boss and if no one else joined in, they would only embarrass Shanks if they took action first.

"Kaido, what on earth do you want to do?!"

Shanks even suspected that there was something wrong with his observation Haki, because he saw Kaido sitting down to drink. The most important thing was that after a few simple confrontations, Kaido really started drinking on the spot, and after that, he lost his ability to observe Kaido's future.

Kaido seemed to have disappeared into the future out of thin air. That ability was very similar to his Observation and Killing, but Kaido seemed to be relying on some external force.

"Ah, I was just bored, so I decided to come to your place and sit for a while. Didn't you see I brought some wine? It's wine from the West Sea."

"How do you know such a thing...Uta?!"

"Yes, that little girl is obsessed with you. I only found out about her preference when I asked her on the way here.

And according to your custom, I should say so.

Give me some face and sit down for a good drink, or I'll bring that little girl over and let her rejoin your pirate group. You're one of the Four Emperors now, and that girl is a world-famous singer, so this doesn't count as a breach of contract."

This was not a threat, but it had a good effect on Shanks. He really didn't want Uta to return to the pirate path, so he let Kaido join the banquet. It just so happened that he also had some questions he wanted to clarify.

......

"Kaido, don't you have anything to say about what happened to Mr. Oden?"

"Why are you the same as that old fellow Whitebeard, talking about that guy all the time? Although that guy is a good opponent, where does he get so much appeal?

If you want to ask, that is Kurozumi Orochi's conspiracy. If you don't believe it, you can also come to Wano Country and try to see what Wano Country is like now.

And Oden's daughter is now the general of Wano Country, you can ask her to answer you in person."

Shanks was silent for a moment, but ultimately did not pursue the issue any further, as he had his own ideas.

Kaido stayed here for about half an hour, and until Kaido left, Shanks still didn't understand what this guy was doing here.

"Shanks, are you really not going to let Uta come back? Although the Hundred Beasts Fruit is not from the Pirates, it is still the property of the Hundred Beasts. If Uta is allowed to stay there... it will affect many things in the future."

“I know, but Uta’s stage should not be our pirate ship, but the whole world. It’s better this way than being wanted by the navy along with us. Besides, Kaido is a battle madman and won’t affect the outcome of the battle in that way.

Now I want to know what this guy's purpose is. He wouldn't come here just to sit here, right? Speaking of which, the wine is really good. I should ask him where he got it from..."

"Speaking of which, I met his daughter when I was in the East China Sea. His daughter has also been causing quite a stir in the East China Sea recently."

Hawkeye on the side said silently that Kaido is not a swordsman and this is Red Hair's territory, so he has no reason to take action. He just gave Shanks some additional information.

When Shanks is not deliberately doing weird things, his intelligence is also online. Putting himself into the situation, he seems to have figured out some things.

"It seems... that guy took advantage of me."

Less than 10 minutes after Kaido left, a special Den Den Mushi on his body rang, and a low voice sounded.

"Red Hair, what did Kaido say to you?"

"Nothing was said, just a drink."

"Redhead, do you think we are fools? You want to trick us with this reason? Don't forget what your situation is."

"If you don't believe it, then do as you please. And don't think that you can order me around."

"you..."

Shanks hung up the phone directly, then put his arm around Hawkeye's shoulders and pulled him back to the table. The party was not over yet.

"Shanks, that phone call..."

"A few suspicious guys, ignore them and keep drinking!"

At this moment, Marijoa and the Five Elder Stars looked at the busy tone of the Den Den Mushi for a long time in silence.

"Can you trust what the red-haired guy says?"

"This kid has his own ideas. Let's just follow Zhan Guo's arrangement and strengthen surveillance. Apart from that, there is no other way for the time being."

......

Due to Kaido's inexplicable actions, almost all the Den Den Mushi within the navy were busy. In addition, some people were also leaking information to people they had private connections with, and even Kuzan joined this group.

"General Kuzan, what's going on?"

The eyes of the Den Den Mushi gradually turned into a pair of dead fish eyes, and the body of its mouth even imitated the shape of a cigar, except that it did not emit smoke.

"Smoker, you should have seen the latest order from the headquarters, right?"

"I saw it..."

"As the general of this department, I order you not to act rashly. The affairs of the East China Sea are not something you can handle. Do you understand?"

"I..."

"That woman is not an ordinary pirate. She is even immune to my attacks and can release a cold current that is no weaker than mine. Smoker, our headquarters is about to take a major action and you are absolutely not allowed to disobey orders at this time."

Chapter 895: New Characteristics Derived, Frozen Superior Dragon

Most pirates are restless, and there are also many restless people in the navy. Smoker is one of them.

But his restlessness is not due to the mouse, Monka’s restlessness, but a character problem.

He acts on his own and refuses to be disciplined, so some people inside secretly call him a mad dog.

As a user with natural abilities, it is obviously a waste of his talent to have him stationed in Rogue Town. His appearance in the East China Sea is both a form of protection and a temporary demotion.

His attitude towards pirates is in line with the overall policy of the Navy, but it is not in line with the policies set by the World Government. The World Government never wants to eliminate pirates.

Letting him come to the East China Sea was, on the one hand, to calm him down, and on the other hand, to temper his temper, so that he could learn to obey better.

However, his character is not so easy to change. Under his management, Rogue Town, which is the beginning and end of Roger, has entered a relatively stable state.

The overall strength of the pirates in the East China Sea is not strong, but they will also plunder towns. Especially Rogue Town, which gave birth to the Pirate King, attracts a lot of attention.

Ever since Smoker was released here, Rogue Town has become the end point of the East China Sea pirates.

As natural types, Kuzan, Sakaski, and Borsalino also have their own personalities. Whether it's Kuzan's laziness, Borsalino's slacking off, or Sakaski's coldness, they all swept across the faces of the World Government officials.

But this does not affect the status of their headquarters' admirals, because they are strong enough and are an important fighting force of the navy.

Smoker is similar to the three admirals in many ways, except that he has a similar temper but lacks the corresponding strength. Otherwise, even if someone dislikes him, they would have no way to deal with him.

The reason why Smoker is stationed in Rogue Town is also because he has offended some people.

The World Government is extremely large in size, and people have different opinions on the Navy. Many people even believe that the Navy has always been a dog of the World Government.

They can't do anything to the admiral, but they have ways to disgust people. The attack on Zephyr's family is a mystery within the navy.

Where did the protective soldiers go? How did those people find Zefa's family? There are too many things that cannot be explained.

Even Zephyr was spared back then, let alone Smoker now. However, he has not reached that point yet, so the people above just temporarily let Smoker out of their sight.

It would be a shame to destroy a natural ability user who is loyal to the navy.

Some people don't like the way Smoker does things, but that doesn't stop others from appreciating him. He has friends within the navy, and Kuzan also has a good personal relationship with him.

He called Smoker specifically because he didn't want Smoker to commit any "suicidal" behavior.

According to his understanding of Smoker, Yamato's behavior in the East China Sea will inevitably attract Smoker's attention. There is a high probability that he will take the initiative to look for the other party. If he can't find him, it's fine. If he finds him, he will be a pure gift.

Smoker did not make too much use of the properties of smoke itself. In his hands, the Smoke Fruit was just a tool to evade attacks. If he encountered a physical pirate who was proficient in domineering, he would be easily beaten unilaterally.

"Colonel Smoker, you must obey this order and don't bother with that woman. Do you understand?"

Hearing that Smoker did not respond on the other end of the phone, Kuzan gave him the order again in an extremely formal tone, even addressing him by his military rank.

"Yes, I understand."

"You don't have to be unconvinced. This is all for your own good. That woman is not simple. She has the ability to hurt me now."

As if he heard a hint of dissatisfaction in Smoker's tone, Kuzan said a few more words for the sake of their personal friendship.

In fact, his battle with Yamato a year ago gave him a huge headache.

There are differences between superior and inferior devil fruits. The Weapon Fruit and the Quick-Slash Fruit, the Ton-Crush Fruit and the Kilogram Fruit are all direct examples, and this is even more true for natural elements.

There was no connection between the Ice Fruit and the Ooguchi Shinto, but after the Ooguchi Shinto was transformed, the new Kyurem was born with special abilities unique to this world.

Devil Fruits house demons, but the demon in the Great Mouth God was wiped out by Arceus, but when a demon disappears, the vacancy left needs to be filled.

No new demon was born. Yamato's own consciousness completely dominated the fruit, causing some changes to the original demon power.

As the body of a Taoist dragon, Kyurem also has the title of "the strongest". In this case, the new version of Oogway has become the pinnacle of all ice-type devil fruits.

She was born with an additional "ice-eating" trait, and ice-attribute attacks were ineffective against her. Not only was Kuzan unable to freeze her, but even the frozen ice could be eaten directly as food.

In another world, she could even call herself the Ice Demon Slayer, but she had no interest in eating ice cubes. Although it could restore some strength, the amount restored was not worth it for her to do so.

Her health bar is too thick, so she needs to eat at least an iceberg to see any effect.

The absolute restraint in abilities forced Kuzan to compete with Yamato in physical skills. In a sense, he couldn't tell whether Yamato retreated calmly or didn't want to fight at all.

The suppression of his abilities is even more absolute than the restraint of a higher-level fruit. Among the three admirals today, Kuzan is the easiest opponent for Yamato to deal with.

It was during this battle that Kuzan realized how strong his opponent's physical skills were. He was sure that Smoker couldn't even take one of her sticks.

After repeated instructions, Kuzan hung up the phone and left the headquarters, starting his defense work at the designated location.

The World Government's order was simple. No matter what happened, priority must be given to ensuring that Marijoa was not disturbed. As for other places, they didn't care how they were destroyed. At most, they could just wait for a reshuffle.

Anyway, it has been like this for hundreds of years. In the hundreds of years of history, most countries were destroyed because of war, but there were also many countries that were wiped out by Mary Geoise herself.

As for Smoker, he was silent for a while after hanging up the phone with Kuzan. It was not because he felt underestimated, but because he always wanted to tell Kuzan that he should not think of himself as a brainless reckless man.

Sometimes, he would indeed ignore orders, but he hadn't gone crazy yet, otherwise he would have challenged the Four Emperors alone a long time ago. He was well aware that a monster with a bounty of over a billion was not something he could handle at his current level.

Otherwise, he would not have compromised so easily when he met Long in Rogue Town before.

He didn't want to try to see if a hit on the head could help him develop his domineering or awakening abilities.

As Kuzan was worried, Smoker looked at his adjutant to confirm something.

"Dashiki, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Chapter 896: Fat Express

"Ah, Mr. Smoker... he should be a good man."

As a cute girl with glasses, she carried out her boss's orders objectively and gave him a good guy card.

"Although he looks ferocious, he is also doing it for justice..."

"Okay, you don't have to continue."

His adjutant was not very smart, and Smoker was sure that Tashigi did not understand the meaning of his words.

Thinking back, Kuzan's series of orders directly blocked his possibility of replying. It seemed that his preconceived impression was really wrong.

"So Mr. Smoker, what do we do next?"

"What? Going after the Straw Hat Kid, of course."

There were many wanted posters scattered on his desk, the top ones were for Yamato and Luffy.

Yamato's battle record has already shown that he is not someone he can deal with, but the one who comes after him is different. The one who laughed out loud on the execution platform and had an inexplicable connection with Long is also a newcomer.

Although Kuzan forbade him to interfere in Yamato's affairs, he did not forbid him from hunting down the Straw Hats.

As for the bounty on Yamato on the table...

This is the Navy’s usual practice. We may not be able to deal with you for the time being, but we can increase your bounty, and the bounty offered by the Four Emperors will lose its actual value.

The original purpose of the bounty was to attract bounty hunters to hunt pirates, but no bounty hunter has appeared yet who is brave enough to challenge the Four Emperors at will.

There is an endless stream of people challenging the Four Emperors, but none of these warriors are doing it for the bounty offered by the navy; they are all ambitious people with greater ambitions.

For them, money is no longer their goal.

The navy team in Rogue Town remained basically unchanged. Smoker started his journey of chasing Luffy with a few people. Now the Click Pirates of the East China Sea were wiped out, and the Buggy Pirates were missing. Instead, there were no pirates that needed his special attention.

Although the 16th and 8th branches suffered severe blows, they were still within the tolerable range.

The Yamato, which had caused a huge uproar, was just about to leave the East China Sea.
