Arceus' Pirate Journey

From a personal perspective, it is quite convenient for Drake and Kikunosuke to travel. Drake is just carefree in character and more manly than other men, but he has no problem with gender identity and wears ordinary women's clothes.

However, Kikunosuke has a different perception. He has always felt that he is a woman, wears women's clothes, and has similar living habits to women. This means that when they go out, they only need to go to women's clothing stores.

It is also a problem caused by psychological cognition. In Denjiro's opinion, even if Kikunojo compromises, he will be taking advantage of it. But from Kikunojo's perspective, it is just a question of sexual orientation and not really a best friend who stares at him every day, which makes him a little unacceptable.

Kozuki Oden has been dead for 18 years. During their long time together, Kikunosuke's feelings towards Drake have changed to a certain extent, but he only regards him as a friend with whom he can talk, and there is still a long way to go before they can take a closer look.

"Hey, you guys better keep your hands to yourself."

"Ah...it's breaking, it's about to break, let go!"

Derek and Kikunojo were on a cruise ship at the time. Kikunojo was watching the sunset on the deck, but suddenly there was a noisy sound behind him.

At this moment, Drake was stepping on a man and twisting his arm into a strange shape.

"Let me correct you. It's not about to break, it's already broken. If you can't control your hands, you will have to pay the price."

With a crack, the man's arm went limp completely. It looked like a comminuted fracture, and he fainted from the severe pain.

The woman in front of him was so ferocious that it completely frightened the people nearby.

"Ms. Drake, is it time to...let him go?"

"Ah? Ah Ju, you can't always be so soft-hearted. This guy has it all his own fault. Who allowed him to try to make a dirty move?"

"But he has fainted..."

It was at this moment that the guards on the ship ran over and looked at the unconscious man on the ground, a little at a loss.

"Sir Will! What did you two women do to Sir Will?!"

A man who looked like a butler also appeared in the crowd. When he saw the man lying on the ground, he immediately exclaimed.

"Sir? This guy is actually a knight? Then your kingdom is really rotten."

"What did you say? Guards! Where are the guards? Quickly arrest the man who hurt Sir Will!"

There are many different kinds of people on this cruise ship, and some of them bring a large number of guards with them during their trip. This knight named Will is one of them.

Looking at the soldiers surrounding him, Kikunojo pulled Drake's arm. He was not worried about Drake's safety, but was afraid that Drake would get angry and kill everyone around him.

Drake's behavior just now reminded him that although she had a generous and magnanimous side, her profession was a pirate.

But Kikunojo didn't understand what Derek did. Not only did she not take action, she also made a gesture of surrender and asked the other party what to do.

"Ms. Drake, what do you want to do..."

"What? Of course, to have fun. It's a rare opportunity for us to come out, so we should enjoy life."

Under the care of the ship's doctor, Sir Will slowly woke up, and when his butler whispered something to him, he also gave his own answer.

"Pay compensation! How dare you hurt me so badly? Medical expenses, mental damage compensation, don't even think about getting over this without 10 million Baileys! If you can't afford the compensation, you and your friend should just behave yourself..."

As a person who had taken advantage of the situation on the boat, his purpose was very clear. The so-called compensation was just an excuse. However, he did not expect that Drake had already pulled out a stack of bills and threw it in front of him.

In order to have a good time, she brought enough Baileys with her. Ten million was not difficult for her.

"Ten million is only a part of it. This is not enough!"

He seemed to think that Drake was afraid of his guards, so he started to raise the price on the spot, asking for higher and higher amounts, and Drake never objected.

More and more people gathered to watch the fun, and some even helped Sir Will to make trouble. Seeing the smile on Will's face becoming more and more rampant, Drake was ready to close the net.

bump!

A gunshot brought silence to the deck. Looking at the smoking barrel of the gun in Drake's hand, some people had a bad feeling.

"Will's men stand on the right, those who just started the commotion stand on the left, and those who are just watching the fun, get out of here! The robbery begins now!"

Originally, Derek was worried that the funds for the trip were not enough, and Will was like a cash machine that came to her doorstep. What happened just now was just her entertainment of playing cat and mouse.

"Are you kidding me? A woman wants to learn from those pirates?"

The guards and soldiers around did not compromise, but surrounded Drake, but the next moment, they flew back at a faster speed.

"I'm not learning. I'm a pirate anyway. Or should I change my clothes?"

Drake took off the wig on her head, and then threw away the coat she was wearing, revealing the pirate flag pattern on her back. Only then did the people on the ship recognize who she was.

Beasts Pirates - Ray Lion - Francis Drake

Bounty: 5 million berries

Will was as scared as he was just now. After all his belongings were taken away, Derek broke his other arm and then took Kikunojo away from the cruise ship on a lifeboat.

If she didn't want to appear too cruel, it wouldn't be just a matter of two arms.

With Will's "friendly funding", Drake received a large sum of money and continued on his journey.

With the help of Kozuki Hiyori, they soon arrived at the first half of the Grand Line and met a special person on a summer island.

......

"Come out, you've been following me all the way, what do you want to do?"

"Thief, hahaha, did you find out? You are such a perceptive woman. I am recruiting soldiers now, and I think you are pretty good. You are not bad looking either. Do you have any idea of ​​joining my pirate group? The girl next to you can also come."

A middle-aged man with a rough appearance, thick hair and a sturdy build appeared on the street.

With three pistols and a bottle of rum stuffed on his waist and various accessories on his body, Drake was no stranger to this man, or rather, the pirates in the New World were very familiar with him.

Blackbeard - Marshall D. Teach, the man who betrayed Whitebeard. The bounty offered by the Whitebeard Pirates made him famous in the New World.

Since Roger's death, he is the first pirate to violate Whitebeard's iron rule.

Chapter 904: Blackbeard's Recruitment

Facing Whitebeard's pursuit, Blackbeard successfully escaped from the New World and began to recruit soldiers to form his own pirate group.

As an ambitious man, he lurked in the Whitebeard Pirates for decades and gambled his youth on this ship. It was not until the appearance of the Dark-Dark Fruit that he exposed his ambition.

In order to achieve his goals, a team of his own is essential, so when he was on the run, he was looking for subordinates worth recruiting.

Lafitte, Van Oka, Gizas Badges, and Poison Q were the initial team members he recruited along the way.

Although his ambition was evident at this time, his target was not the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The Straw Hats had just arrived at Whiskey Mountain not long ago, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea were all complete, so he had no chance to get in to reinforce.

Without special circumstances, the World Government will not easily replace the Shichibukai, otherwise it would be slapping itself in the face. It is not easy to get a seat in the Shichibukai by defeating another Shichibukai.

Therefore, Blackbeard has not yet come up with the idea of ​​capturing a qualified bounty criminal and handing him over to the World Government in exchange for the position of Shichibukai. He is really trying to recruit Drake.

As an ambitious man, he needs a large number of manpower to achieve his goals, and high-quality cadres are what he urgently needs. In this respect, he is even similar to Rocks.

It doesn't matter what purpose his subordinates have, as long as they are willing to join him, he will accept them. Although such a pirate group has no cohesion, it can gather a large amount of combat power in a short period of time.

As for Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit... he can endure for decades in order to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit, and he doesn't mind waiting a few more years to find a more suitable opportunity. At this time, he has no intention of confronting Whitebeard head-on, otherwise he would not have chosen to escape from the New World.

Recruiting Drake was just a spur of the moment decision, and he never expected to meet a leader of the New World's Great Pirates here.

The famous cadres under the Four Emperors are all strong men, and naturally they are Blackbeard's target for recruitment. Although the overall appearance of the Blackbeard Pirate Group is extremely low, Blackbeard's own aesthetic taste is still normal.

Whether it is Derek or Kikunosuke, they are both above his aesthetic line.

The scar on Drake's face does not destroy his beauty, but Kikunosuke...if he didn't say it himself, no one would have thought that he was a man, and even if they saw it, they might not be able to accept this fact.

"Recruit me? You are really brave. No wonder you dared to kill your companions on Whitebeard's ship. It seems that you don't find this flag scary either."

Drake had no intention of threatening the other party with the flag of the beasts. Since this guy dared to kill another Whitebeard captain on Whitebeard's main ship, it showed that this guy had no respect for the Emperor of the Sea like an ordinary pirate.

The repeated provocations of different sea emperors reminded Drake of the warrior from previous years. Although no one remembered his name, his feat has been passed down to this day.

"Times are progressing. This is a new era. This ocean needs new blood. Those old guys should have finished their business!"

"That sounds like a suicidal idea. I'm not interested in it at all. Besides, you're really ugly. I refuse to work with someone like you."

If someone had spoken to her like this before she joined the Beasts, it would have aroused Drake's interest. If the captain was a little more handsome, she wouldn't mind having a fight with him.

She doesn't mind joining others, nor does she mind whether the new captain is a good person or a bad guy. As long as she can accept it and there is something worth following, she will make her own choice.

The end of prosperity will eventually be loneliness, but Drake can enjoy the pleasure in this loneliness.

Press forward, overcome, plunder, and prosper.

She loves money but doesn’t collect it. She spends the money she has lavishly. This is her way of life and the reason why she is always a moonlighter.

Powerful enemies are scary, but defeating them is also a pleasure. Failure may mean death, but such a death is also a perfect ending.

Of course, in addition to the wrong timing, appearance is also a big problem.

She is obsessed with looks, and Blackbeard's face blocks the possibility of any connection between the two.

"Hahaha, Captain, she said you're ugly."

"If you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a problem?"

Badgers and Lafitte did not refute Drake on Blackbeard's behalf, and seemed to agree with this, which made Blackbeard loudly rebuke them:

"That's enough of you guys! Have you forgotten who your captain is?!"

After silencing his men, he looked at Derek again.

"What a pity. I don't like this personality. It looks like we are not destined to be together."

"Not necessarily. I remember that Whitebeard's bounty for you was quite high. I happened to owe a lot of money recently. Using you to exchange for money would be a good choice."

"You are such a violent woman. I came to recruit you with sincerity and good intentions, but you actually want to kill me?"

"Does your solicitation mean pointing a gun at someone's head in the dark?"

As he spoke, a ball made of lightning appeared in Drake's hand, which he threw towards a house nearby. At the same time, a gunshot was heard from a distance.

The moment she discovered Blackbeard, she used her ability. With the effect of her X-ray eyes, she could see everything around her clearly, including Van Oka who was lurking in the distance.

She did not look down on the guy who dared to take action on Whitebeard's ship, and never thought that he was just out for a chat.

boom!

A house was blown up into the sky by Drake's attack, and a figure jumped out of it. After rolling a few times in a panic, he raised his gun and aimed at Drake again.

"You hit it pretty accurately. I can feel your sincerity."

Although he dodged, the bullet still cut off the hair tie behind Drake's head, and his long pink hair fell behind him. His lion-like appearance also returned to its original shape.

"Hahahaha, you really have a sharp reaction. Since you refuse to recruit me, I will have to accept something else. I will accept the ability of the mythical beast species!"

From the moment he discovered Drake, he had no intention of letting her leave. He wanted her to either join him or plunder her abilities, so he let Van Oka hide far away.

He always did things by any means necessary, so it was not unusual for him to make preparations for both scenarios. However, he did not expect that Van Oka, who was far away, was discovered by Drake directly.

That distance should not be perceived by ordinary observation Haki, so he attributed all this to Drake's own ability, and at the same time became more interested in the other party's ability.

Chapter 905: The Power of Darkness, Blackbeard's Arrogance

With the changes of the times or the updates of versions, different strong people have completely different views on what it means to be strong.

Kaido likes the powerful abilities of the animal system, but also values ​​the power of domineering, while Blackbeard is obsessed with the powerful abilities of fruits.

Before the birth of these unique abilities of the beasts, which were attributed to the product of "bloodline factors", the mythical beast species had always been hailed as a devil fruit that was even rarer than the natural type. In addition to their own physical bonuses, the unique abilities brought by the mythical beast species were also extremely powerful.

The pursuit of various powerful abilities is also one of the reasons why Blackbeard longs to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit. With the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, he can plunder the abilities of other ability users and break the rule that after the ability user dies, the fruit will be randomly reborn in a certain location.

If the recruitment fails, he will attack Drake's ability, which is what he planned.

"There are five of us in total...Xiaoju! Get ready to fight!"

Kikunosuke looks like a woman, but his combat power is strong enough. After all, he is an NPC in the later copy. He is proficient in dual-color domineering and swordsmanship, so he is more than capable of dealing with ordinary enemies.

Drake brought him out without worrying that he would be a burden to him. Kikunosuke's fighting power is enough to become a cadre even in the New World's pirate group.

"I know..."

These people were not his former partners, so Kikunojo would naturally not hesitate to take action against them. To him, Drake could still be considered a friend, while Blackbeard and his crew were pure enemies.

"You guys have interrupted my trip, so you guys should pay me the price and let me teach you how to greet people politely!"

Sizzle..sizzle..

Electricity surrounded Drake's fingertips, and the bright electric light was so blinding that others could not open their eyes even in broad daylight. With his five fingers slightly open, Drake waved his hands at the black bearded man in front of him.

Kacha! Kacha!

Thunder roared in broad daylight as several dark clouds gathered in the sky. As Drake waved his hand, thunder and lightning roared, and several electric currents fell from the sky and struck the members of the Blackbeard Pirates.
