Arceus' Pirate Journey

"What happened to the captain?"

"Isn't it obvious? If it weren't for the Dark-Dark Fruit, even the giants would be crushed into pieces. But this pain... can only be relieved by himself."

Spreading his hands, Poison Q made his own diagnosis, but also said that he was powerless to do anything about the current situation.

Chapter 910: The choice between pain and brokenness, Xiaoju's attitude changes

"Hey! Poison Q! Is the captain really okay? He's been like this for a long time."

Long after Drake and Kikunosuke left, Blackbeard still maintained his original movements without any change. At the beginning, there was something like black smoke wrapped around his body. It was the Dark-Dark Fruit absorbing the damage to his body.

But now the black smoke has disappeared, but Blackbeard is still lying on the ground.

"It's okay, it just hurts too much. If it were you, you would have died from the pain. You can bear this double pain, which shows that you are worthy of being the captain."

Poison Q was preparing eye drops for Van Oka. For a sniper, Drake's flash technique was extremely harmful, and if he was not careful it might ruin his future sniping career.

The double pain of the Dark-Dark Fruit cannot be relieved. Wearing seastone handcuffs may alleviate the side effects of the double pain, but the damage caused by that cannot be reversed.

Between double the pain and broken balls, Blackbeard always has to make a choice.

After a long time, Blackbeard stood up tremblingly, holding his crotch and walking towards the port step by step.

"Captain, where are you going?"

"The Drum Kingdom... I heard that the doctors there are pretty good. I think I need to go see them..."

"Captain, you look down on my medical skills."

"Stop talking nonsense and lend me your horse..."

"No, Captain, Zhuangzhuang can't carry you. You are too heavy."

"..."

Poison Q rejected the request of the staggering Blackbeard to borrow a horse. In the end, it was Badgers who acted as the "centre" and carried the disabled Blackbeard away from this sad town.

......

"Rotom, the message still can't be delivered?"

"I'm sorry, Loto, the machine is damaged, communication failed, Loto..."

Rotom's real body floated above the boat, expressing helplessness about the communication failure. As one of the cadres, they also replaced the original Den Den Mushi with Rotom.

Rotom's abilities are much more convenient than Den Den Mushi in every aspect, but there is a drawback: it is not Rotom that has the ability to communicate, but the electrical bodies they inhabit.

Ovens, refrigerators, lawn mowers, Rotom living in different bodies can play different functions, but when the body is damaged, they become ordinary Pokémon and can no longer communicate over ultra-long distances and in a timely manner like before.

"Was it caused by Blackbeard's ability?"

"Yes Loto, the battle damaged the electronic components. It is beyond the scope of repair, Loto."

Rotom itself can also act as a repairman. Living in electrical appliances, it can clearly figure out which parts of the appliances are damaged and repair them itself, but it has no way to deal with the root damage of the parts.

"He's such a troublesome guy. I underestimated him after all."

The Rotom phone was damaged during her battle with Blackbeard, which is why Drake can't contact other people now. Although she thinks Blackbeard is not simple, she didn't expect that this guy is hiding so deeply.

"Ms. Drake, the record pointer was also broken during the battle. We will lose our way if we continue to sail like this."

"It's okay, we can always find a way out. It's better to leave the island first. There's something wrong with that guy. His body is so weird that he doesn't look like a human. If a normal man is hit by that move, he will be half-dead or half-crippled.

But that guy can still scream and fight back..."

Touching his bandaged right eye, Drake recalled the details of the battle.

Every time Blackbeard was struck by lightning, he would scream and shout, but it seemed that guy did not suffer any fatal injuries, especially the final ultimate Volt Lightning Flash, which did not even make him lose consciousness. This was something Drake did not expect.

The Ultimate Volt Thunder Flash has no flaws in power except that the release action is a little awkward.

According to Blackbeard's self-exposure, he can feel twice the pain of ordinary people and can withstand double the egg-crushing attacks. In a sense, this can be regarded as an alternative "strongest man".

"Okay, go take the helm and try to contact Onigashima first. You don't have to worry about the rest."

She didn't know the current condition of her right eye, but she had to go back to Onigashima for treatment. Blackbeard's counterattack was very powerful.

Logically, she should take a rest, but now she has no time to rest. Kikunojo knows a lot of things, but he can't steer a ship, which is also the biggest disadvantage of the native residents of Wano Country.

Due to the policy of isolation, few of them were good at ocean sailing, and they let Kikunosuke control the ship. Drake was afraid that the small boat would really end up here.

"I'm sorry, Miss Drake..."

"Ah? Why are you apologizing for nothing?"

"I'm a burden to you. If Blackbeard hadn't locked me with his gravity, you wouldn't have been caught by him..."

"It's okay. Aren't you also fighting with his men? If Lafitte really gets involved, it will be troublesome for me.

And if you insist, it was me who failed to keep an eye on my opponent, so you don’t have to blame yourself.”

"But...but your eyes..."

A few tears rolled down Kikunojo's face. He blamed himself for Derek's eye injury and felt full of self-blame.

"You, that's good. It seems that you really treat me as a friend this time. It's different from a few years ago."

Looking at the crying Kikunojo, Derek felt that she had gained something. She had been quite interested in this face at first, but if Kikunojo still maintained her original attitude at this point, then there would be no need for her to continue.

From hostility to friendliness, and then to tears today, it can be seen that in Kikunosuke's heart, Drake is no longer one of the enemies he once was.

She was just about to tell Kikunosuke that she was fine and that she would be cured after returning to Onigashima. Pedro was a living example.

He was able to push his own eye back into place after digging it out, and the same principle applies to himself.

But on second thought, due to his status, Kikunosuke didn't know how powerful the treatment on the Holy Mountain was, and he had never seen Pedro being cured. In his opinion, curing all diseases and damaging body organs are different.

So she didn't tell the truth, and acted dizzy and leaned on Kikunojo behind her.

This time, Kikunojo did not push him, and instead took the initiative to take care of Drake during the rest of the voyage.

The temporary injury to one eye did not have much impact on Drake, and his physical strength gradually recovered during the voyage. After a short voyage, he robbed another pirate ship.

"Why don't you guys even have a Den Den Mushi?! Don't pirates even need phones these days?!"

A group of pirates huddled in a corner, no one dared to refute Drake's question. At this time, Kikunojo spotted a special person through the telescope...

Chapter 911: Brothers meet again

The Great Pirate Era was not friendly. Pirate ships were everywhere on the sea, posing a great threat to merchant ships and civilian travel.

But it is different for those who are strong enough. These pirate ships sailing on the sea are an opportunity. Previously, Kikunojo got a small boat at the port and left the island.

This was mainly because Drake's physical strength had not recovered yet at that time. He was hit twice in the chest by Lafitte and was not in good condition. It might not be possible to get out with a big ship.

However, in the Grand Line, a small boat is not a long-term solution, so when they encountered other pirate ships, they chose to change ships. As for the method... of course, it was according to the traditional rules of pirates.

The pirates originally refused, but even if Drake temporarily lost an eye, he could easily deal with these newcomers.

Originally, she wanted to steal a Den Den Mushi. The outer territories of the Beasts still retain Den Den Mushi as a basic means of communication. As long as they can contact someone, they can call for support or something.

There was nothing wrong with her idea, but these pirates didn't cooperate with her. Drake didn't expect that there would be pirates without Den Den Mushi these days.

"Damn it, Den Den Mushi don't have to pay for phone bills, is it that hard for you to raise one?"

Unlike the version of the mobile phone sold by Taizoro, after the Den Den Mushi is installed with a fixed communication device, it is enough to feed the snails. The Den Den Mushi has a strong adaptability. Even if it is frozen, it will not affect its use as long as it is thawed in time.

If you want, you can buy some decorations to create your own Den Den Mushi. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter if you don't have any decorations. But this group of pirates simply didn't have any.

"This... Miss, there are only a dozen of us. We don't need this thing at all..."

"Just shut up! Without a ship doctor, a Den Den Mushi, or even medicine, it's a miracle that your ship made it here! Apart from this record pointer, there's nothing else you can use. Are you new to the voyage?!"

"How do you know we sailed just three days ago?"

"You'd better start playing house. The life of a pirate is not suitable for you."

Touching his head weakly, Drake couldn't think of the right words to describe these naive pirates. If they hadn't been born in the Grand Line, they probably wouldn't even be able to pass the Upside-Down Mountain.

"Ms. Drake, I found a pirate ship. Maybe we can get some help from that ship..."

"Hmm? Our people?"

"No, it's... it's the man with the white beard."

Kikunojo came over with a telescope and brought a news that Derek couldn't understand.

"Hey, Kiku, even though I just had a fight with Blackbeard, it's impossible for you to use this to contact them. Don't be so naive. We are pirates, and Whitebeard and the Beasts are enemies."

If he saw the forces of Red Hair or Big Mom, or the forces of the Seven Warlords of the Sea like the Empress or Doflamingo, Drake could go there, but Whitebeard could not.

Nowadays, Whitebeard and the forces of the Beasts would restrain themselves from fighting when they met outside, let alone asking for help.

"No...you can. I saw my brother on that ship."

"Eh? Brother? You have a brother on Whitebeard's ship?"

"Yes, in fact, you have seen it before. You saw it when you went out to fight with Miss Yinsika."

It was only after Kikunosuke reminded him that Derek realized what he was saying.

I also found out why Kikunocho's reaction was so strange during that battle. No one explored this issue at that time, and Kikunocho did not take the initiative to mention it, so it ended up being left unresolved.

Just now, when he was observing other ships on the sea, he happened to see Yi Zang on the ship.

After Ace left, Whitebeard was still a little worried. Although he was restricted by the environment of the New World and it was difficult for him to leave there, he still sent several capable cadres out to look for Ace and help him deal with the problem of Blackbeard.

Izo was one of them, but they never caught up with Ace because his small boat powered by the Flame-Flame Fruit was too fast.

Ordinary pirate ships could not catch up at all, and because of the time difference, Izo and others never caught up with Ace.

......

"Is it the person dressed as a geisha? Now that you mention it, I have some impression of her."

"Yes, Miss Drake, please believe me, your eyes can't be delayed any longer."

As one of the most important organs in the human body, eyes are very special. Once injured, they may cause attacks by the body's immune system. If not handled properly, problems with one eye can easily spread.

Drake has a strong physique and his eyes don't have any problems such as infection, but in Kikunosuke's opinion, it still needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

"You are a captain, so I trust you."

According to these pirates, it would take another half a month to reach the next island, and she didn't want to delay any further.

This injury won't kill her, but it will hurt. She's not a masochist, so she'll definitely deal with it as quickly as possible.

......

At this time, a small pirate ship in the shape of a whale was sailing on the sea.

The Whitebeard Pirates are huge in size. In addition to the Moby Dick and ships modeled after the Moby Dick, they also have similar small ships to facilitate their travel.

"Captain Izo! There's a ship approaching us! They signaled with flags that it's someone you know."

"Acquaintances? How can I have acquaintances in a place like this? Give me the binoculars."

Although he was puzzled, Izou still asked for the telescope, and then he saw Kikunosuke waving at him.

"Aju?!"

Izou did not follow Kozuki Oden onto Roger's ship, nor did he follow him back to Wano Country. From the day he boarded Whitebeard's ship, Izou has remained here.

In the original timeline, he maintained his identity as a member of Whitebeard, but ultimately, because his belief in Oden was not strong enough, he lost his faction buff and died in the decisive battle on Onigashima.

The last time he saw Kikunosuke was during the war with the Beasts. It was also during that time that the Whitebeard Pirates discovered the problem with Oden. However, after the battle between Whitebeard and Kaido, the matter was eventually shelved.

"Is that pirate ship a member of the Beasts' force?"

"I haven't heard of it. Even the newbies haven't heard of this pirate group..."

The sea emperors know each other well. There are some trump cards that outsiders don't know, but they still know which pirate groups are affiliated with other sea emperors, especially those famous pirates.

He is neither an old man nor a famous newcomer, which almost eliminates the possibility that the other party is from the Hundred Beasts Force.

"Very good..."

"what did you say?"

"I said to pull the boat over, that's indeed someone I know."
