Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Brother Manderfesh is right. As long as you work hard, luck will find you sooner or later."

Although this thing seems to have serious side effects, they still have Quinn and Naqin. These two people are really talented in drug research. The Batman believes that as long as this medicine is sent back, everything else will not be a problem.

But before that, he had to deal with this mad beast first.

This is not difficult for Batman. Chopper's monster form after eating three Rumble Balls is in a state of being out of control. This clumsy behemoth cannot touch a person with flying abilities.

After a little effort, Batman successfully knocked down the crazy reindeer, but after that, he thought of a new problem.

This medicine is suitable for some of the beastmen with special abilities. If they have met Ulti before, they may have used this power.

If there is such medicine, it can explain why Luffy is not missing any limbs, but it cannot explain why Chopper is still following them.

Given Ulti's personality, she should have taken the person away directly.

At this time, Heracross also flew back from the forest, and even the tall figure of Serpentis appeared here. It was attracted here by the giant Chopper, and Serpentis was also the source of Batman's calmness.

It is the strongest guardian here. Looking at Heracross who was holding his forehead helplessly beside Luffy, Batman felt that he had realized something again. This group of people might have been targeted by higher-level cadres, but they just didn't know it.

Since the end of the last qualifying battle, those with single-digit numbers have only undergone internal ranking changes, and it is almost impossible for others to challenge them, which also means that their position has been consolidated.

Competing with such a leader for performance...

Shaking his head, Batman thought of some not-so-pleasant images and finally made his own decision.

He took all the Rumble Balls from Chopper, then filled in the emergency contact information on Rotom's phone, and sent the Rumble Balls and his report letter to Onigashima via a fat courier.

As for these people, he decided to adopt a relatively gentle attitude to avoid any trouble in the future.

......

"It's only 180 million Baileys, you can't afford it?"

Asking them to pay double the entry fee was already a very gentle measure, but Batman had somewhat overestimated the financial situation of the Straw Hat Pirates.

These people do not plunder like ordinary pirates, but instead explore like an adventure group, and their source of funds is inherently unstable.

Luffy's stomach is a bottomless pit and he has to spend a lot of money on food every day. Since they can't find the treasure, their finances have been very tight.

"Well...our situation is a bit special."

Looking at the Batman's change of attitude, Nami didn't know what was going on, but it was a good thing after all.

When an absolute gap in force appears, crew members generally choose to compromise.

For example, the crew of a certain Red Lion, S. Kidd, were very confident before challenging Shanks, but after Shanks defeated Kidd with a divine dodge, they decisively chose to kneel down and beg for mercy, and then handed over the rubbings of the historical text in their hands.

The world of pirates is cruel. After being defeated, just paying a small fine is already a very preferential treatment.

As for the blue ball...

According to the traditional rules of pirates, everything that belongs to the defeated belongs to the victor, so Batman will not use it to pay off his debts.

It was originally 160 million, but Luffy thought that Heracross was a companion, not a pet, so he should also be counted as a person, so it became 180 million. This logic almost made Nami beat him to death, but then she found that there was no difference.

Whether it was 160 million or 180 million, they couldn't come up with it in the end.

"The rules cannot be broken. Since you have no money, you can stay and work. Although you are weak, you can earn enough to pay the entry fee quickly."

There were no mines for them to dig on Sky Island, but there were a lot of jobs, so the Straw Hat Pirates were forced to waste a lot of time, and even Kulik, who came up with them, joined the ranks of workers. They were not able to leave Sky Island until they paid off their debts.

After leaving Sky Island, the gap in strength made Luffy realize that he needed stronger power, so he started new training, but while becoming stronger, they were still thinking about where to get a lot of money.

The Merry, which had been with them all the way, now needed to be overhauled, which would cost a considerable amount of money.

......

At this time, something also happened in the Seven Water City. Due to the long delay in Sky Island, their speed to the Seven Water City was greatly delayed.

But CP9's actions will not be delayed because of their lateness.

The purpose of these undercover agents in Water 7 is Pluto. The capture of Robin in the original timeline can be said to be the result of chance.

Now that Robin's identity is different and he has not come here, they naturally carry out their original tasks honestly.

After Tom was kidnapped, he began to live in hiding. Even his disciples didn't know where Tom had gone.

After a while, the seriously injured Franky reappeared in front of Iceberg in the form of a cyborg.

Iceberg gave Franky the design drawings of Pluto and hoped that he would leave Water City and start a new life with a different name.

But Franky did not accept it, and continued to live on the island under the name Franky.

Tom's disappearance became a thorn in his heart, and he wanted to wait here to see if he could see his teacher again.

Afterwards, he took in many homeless people who were almost starving to death in the back streets and opened the "Franky Family", a shipbreaking business.

But some things cannot be hidden. Many years later, he was still discovered by agents of the World Government and secretly arrested late at night.

All of this was seen by Tom who secretly returned to the Seven Waters City to observe the disciples...

Chapter 928: Giant Crocodile in the Sea

Not long ago, in the office of Water Seven, Bingshan, the president of Carrera Company and the actual manager of Water Seven, stared blankly at the people in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.

"It's all your fault. The World Government asked you to hand over something, but you refused to do so. Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this."

"Kaku?!"

"If possible, I don't want to hurt you. I want to leave a good memory in this city."

"Kalifa..."

"Did you inherit your master's stubbornness? This is not a good habit."

"Bruno in the tavern..."

"You are all from... the World Government?"

"Yes, lurking is easy for us, but don't worry, we are all serious and responsible in our work, and there have been no problems with the work we handled before.

It’s just that the mission time is almost over, and we need to do our best to complete the goal.”

There are not many members in CP9, and qualified CP9 members are also elite forces in the hands of the World Government, and they need to be used in key places. It is a stupid move by Spandam to let talented CP9 members like Lucci and Kaku waste a lot of time as ship workers.

They can waste time for the design drawings of legendary ancient weapons, but they cannot waste it endlessly.

The undercover work allowed them to collect some intelligence, so when the deadline for the mission was approaching, they chose violent means.

As the ocean becomes increasingly chaotic, a new voice has emerged within the World Government.

Instead of worrying about the revival of ancient weapons all day long, it would be better to take control of these ancient weapons in their own hands and put an end to the Great Pirate Era. However, the voice of this faction has not been recognized by the top leaders of the World Government, which does not meet the balance they need.

But they just disagree with the latter, thinking that there is no need for the pirate era to end, and they still agree with the mastery of ancient weapons.

"Mr. Iceberg, ancient weapons could have been a force for justice, but you don't want to help us. You don't intend to save the people in this world who are still being harmed by pirates."

"Impossible. Once the weapons are revived, the world will begin to constantly compete for their power, and casualties will only continue to increase."

"It seems that you don't believe in the World Government."

"Little ghost, I just don't believe in human nature."

Iceberg has no trust in the World Government and has never thought of handing over Pluto's design drawings to them. He had planned a series of plans before, but they were eventually discovered by Lucci and others.

And finally found on Franky.

There was nothing Bingshan could do about it, he thought his plan was fine, but he hadn't expected that half of the people around him were undercover agents, and his plan was almost like a conspiracy out loud.

The sea train escorting Franky quickly left the station of Water Seven. They wanted to send Franky away before the arrival of the "Water Gods".

Due to its location, this huge tsunami hits the entire city every year, and today happened to be the day it arrived.

"Mr. Iceberg, it's time to seek shelter. The water gods are coming soon..."

They knew that the iceberg had suffered a considerable blow, but facing this giant tsunami, they would really die if they did not take shelter.

"You guys go ahead, I'll follow later."

"But..."

"Go ahead, Iceberg, I'll bring Franky back."

"!?"

A familiar voice sounded in Bingshan's ears, and Tom, who had disappeared for several years, appeared in his eyes again.

"Teacher Tom!"

"You have done a good job over the years. The Seven Water Capital has developed very well under your management."

On weekdays, he builds some docks in the territory of Baishou. Now that the main ships of Baishou have been strengthened and modified, their navigation capabilities have been greatly enhanced, and maritime transportation in the territory has become more convenient.

Tom would sometimes secretly return to the Seven Water City to check on his disciples, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he would leave after taking a few quick glances and never communicated with them.

If Franky hadn't been discovered this time, he still wouldn't have planned to expose himself.

"But Master, Franky is already on the sea train..."

"I know. Didn't I also disappear on the sea train?"

Patting Iceberg on the shoulder, Tom gave Iceberg a reassuring gesture, just like he did when they were children, and then left the City of Seven Waters along its internal canal.

......

Outside the Seven Water City, several fishmen were waiting here with Tiger, but they were not soaking in the water. Instead, they were sitting on the shoulders of a giant crocodile.

Tom is not a fishman with extraordinary fighting power. In order to protect the safety of this old senior, Tiger will travel with him whenever he has time.

As for this giant crocodile, it is Tiger's partner and the number four player in the Giant Beast Corps of the Beasts Pirates.

Following King Yanwu and Bankira for land battles and the eight-headed evil dragon for air battles, there is another powerful weapon - the Hercules crocodile for water battles.

Before the coming of the Water Gods, the waves on the sea are very rough. Even the mermen find it difficult to stabilize their bodies in such a situation. If they are alone, they usually dive to the bottom of the sea to avoid the impact of the tsunami.

But it’s different with support. The body of the alligator is still very stable under the waves, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea under the huge waves. The only difference is that its underwater posture is not as handsome as imagined.

Its limbs and tail are constantly swinging to maintain its stability, and this posture is also the reason why the fish people sit on its shoulders.

"Uncle Tom, you are finally back. We are all ready."

"Sorry to bother you. Although this is a private matter, he is a very important disciple of mine..."

“It’s no trouble, Uncle Tom. Your contribution is seen by everyone. You have been of great help in the construction of New Fishman Island and other islands.

Besides, this isn’t the first time we’ve done this.”

There are not many cases of snatching people from the World Government, and among those who have done this, Tiger has definitely snatched back the most people. After all, he released all the slaves in Marijoa, and no one has replicated this yet.

"Come on, buddy, we have to catch up with that sea train in advance."

Members of the Behemoth Corps cannot be commanded by anyone. Except for the orders from Arceus, they generally only listen to their companions. Only Tiger can arrange the direction of this powerful crocodile. The other fishmen can only take advantage of the crocodile at most.

"roar~"

The powerful crocodile changed its shape, with the red bone plates on its back exposed above the sea surface, and then it twisted its body and chased in the direction of the sea train.

Chapter 929: The powerful crocodile who opened the blind box

Tiger was very familiar with this route. In order to rescue Tom, they had ambushed on the track of the sea train in advance.

The operation was very simple for them. Tom was a merman himself. As long as they put the sea train into the water, they could naturally use the geographical advantages brought by the ocean to rescue Tom.

This time it’s different, Tom’s disciple is a human being, and the “Water Gods” are on their way. If they overturn the sea train directly as they did before, it will probably become a Russian-style rescue.

[Report, we have killed all the enemies. Hostages? What hostages? I don't see any hostages.]

But this time they have a higher force configuration. Although the number of people is much smaller than last time, they have an additional "war weapon" like the giant crocodile.

Under the cover of night and ocean, the blue scales on the alligator's body became less noticeable, and only the red bone plates on its back exuded a terrifying aura under the moonlight.

With its powerful forelimbs cutting through the sea surface, this powerful crocodile is constantly changing its swimming style. In addition to the crocodile's usual way, it is also proficient in butterfly stroke, freestyle and breaststroke, and is now moving forward in the breaststroke style.

"New, Brother Tiger, why would a crocodile learn breaststroke? Isn't that strange?"

"It's because Aaron had nothing better to do and taught me. And it's not particularly weird. Look, isn't there a free-swimming frog over there?"

In Tiger's opinion, it is better for Aaron to teach the crocodile to swim than for him to go out and cause trouble. Even though he has restrained himself a lot now, Tiger is still not very confident about him.

"This world is really strange... New..."

The frog swimming freestyle and the crocodile swimming breaststroke, this strange swimming posture shocked Xiao Ba and also attracted Tom's attention.

"Yokozuna? Yokozuna! Come here, where are you going?"
