Arceus' Pirate Journey

Manaphy, who had stayed in the deep sea for a long time, also received an invitation from Neptune.

Because he is very familiar with Shirahoshi and has a good relationship with this family, he can sit on Neptune's shoulders.

Both Neptune and Otohime were well aware of the terrifying power hidden within Manaphy's seemingly tiny body. That power was comparable to that of a sea king, and even sea kings would give it face.

Tiger and Jinbe also came here at the same time. When the war on Marineford ended, Jinbe left there, while Tiger was already in Fishman Island.

In the days when Jinpei was not around, he was the one responsible for protecting the safety of Fish-man Island, while the New Fish-man Island was entrusted to Manderfesh and Nereus.

At this time, Jinbei and Tiger were also waiting here as escorts.

“Don’t worry, King Neptune. Nothing will happen unexpectedly. The Lord will not interfere in such matters.

Even when we were flying Whitebeard's banner, the beasts provided us with protection, let alone now."

"I hope so."

In fact, Neptune thought about more. He and Whitebeard were friends. The reason why Fishman Island was able to get Whitebeard's flag in the first place was because of this relationship.

Whitebeard died at the hands of Kaido in the duel. This was also the choice Whitebeard made. Neptune could not say anything, but Whitebeard's final declaration made Neptune feel complicated.

That sentence will inevitably lead to the appearance of more pirates on the sea, and the increase in the number of pirates will have an impact on Fishman Island.

He could guess that Whitebeard had some special ideas. From a personal perspective, he could understand Whitebeard, but from the king's perspective, he could not accept it.

"coming."

Manaphy suddenly said something to herself, then left Neptune's shoulder, took out a piece of bubble coral, and flew towards the Origin.

......

"My Lord, long time no see... Strange, it's a bit cold on the boat..."

Manaphy, who arrived on the Origin, suddenly felt a chill, and then saw Regiace in a semi-dormant state.

After returning to the Origin, Reggie Ace became tired and found a corner to play the iceberg simulation.

Most of the cold air was taken back into its body, but even so, Reggieice was also a large air conditioner.

Yamato didn't care about it, but it was different for Page One and Ulti. Their body's instinct made the siblings come to the farthest place of Regice.

For example, Page One was observing the deep-sea fish at the stern, seemingly thinking about the chances of catching fish while Ulti came to the cabin to rest. They did not return to the bow until Manaphy boarded the Origin.

"Long time no see, Manaphy, does Neptune have any other ideas?"

"No, he's just worried about the future of Fishman Island, so he held the party and wanted to get the flag done as soon as possible."

"He is still a king with some responsibility."

"My Lord, please come this way. Neptune has been waiting for a long time."

Under the guidance of Manaphy, Arceus and his companions followed Neptune to Ryugu Castle. In the banquet hall of Ryugu Castle, Otohime had already been waiting there with her children.

Kaido didn't care about the mess, he just set his sights on the liquor brewed in Fishman Island.

The wine born in the deep sea has a very special aroma, and the process is not complicated. After drinking, Kaido quickly promised to lend the flag.

The Ryugu Kingdom had already prepared Kaido's flag.

It is not difficult to draw a pirate flag. As long as the artist has all his limbs, it only takes a few minutes to draw a pirate flag. However, hanging a pirate flag requires recognition from others.

If you rashly use someone else's flag without getting a reply, you will face revenge from the flag owner afterwards.

And Neptune also talked about other things.

"In addition to the original share of the mining industry, Fishman Island can also provide desserts, which are also our Fishman Island's specialty and have good sales in the market."

The islands flying flags are vassal states of the sea emperors, and they have to pay tribute every year to gain protection. However, the beasts don't care much for dessert.

They are not Charlotte Linling, who has an obsessive obsession with eating. The Fishman Mining Company is the one that benefits Baishou by lending the flag.

But Baishou did not reject the tribute from Fish-man Island. He just did not ask Fish-man Island to expand the food processing plant like Charlotte Linlin did. It was enough for them to maintain the status quo.

Inside the Dragon Palace, the mermaid dancer showed off her graceful figure and danced elegantly in the hall, and Quinn, who was standing by, was completely fascinated.

Kaido was destroying the liquor stock of Fishman Island. Half of the liquor at this banquet was consumed by Kaido. While everyone was singing and dancing and in a peaceful atmosphere, the left and right ministers of the Ryugu Kingdom had already arrived at the entrance holding the pirate flag of the Hundred Beasts.

......

"Be careful! Put away Whitebeard's flag first!"

After all, that flag provided shelter to Fishman Island for a considerable period of time. Although Whitebeard was dead, they decided to change the flag for the safety of Fishman Island, but that kindness was not forgotten.

So the people of Fishman Island solemnly put it away.

But before they could hang up the banner of the Hundred Beasts, a new group of uninvited guests arrived at Fishman Island.

Some pirate members who had just entered Fishman Island suddenly launched an attack and wanted to attack the residents of Fishman Island.

This is the reason why they came here. After hearing the news of Whitebeard's death, many pirates set their sights on Whitebeard's original territory.

There are quite a few people who have their eyes on Fishman Island. Scarcity makes things valuable. Mermaids have been extinct in the market for many years. If they can take this opportunity to catch a few mermaids and put them up for auction, they won't have to worry about their future financial problems.

However, Kaiba's Right Minister and the Sea King's Army stopped them in time, leading to a standoff between the two sides.

Now, all the more powerful people in Fishman Island are holding a banquet in Ryugu Castle, and only ordinary Sea King soldiers remain outside, so the Right Minister did not act rashly.

"Human, do you know what you are doing?"

The Right Minister walked to the front and angrily questioned the pirate in front of him.

"What? Of course we're capturing slaves! Whitebeard is dead! That human traitor can no longer protect you!"

Profits can drive people to do crazy things. The price of mermaids has remained high, especially since Fishman Island has undergone tremendous changes in recent years. There have been no cases of mermaid trafficking for several years.

The incident with Kimi doesn’t count. The process of her trafficking was truly too outrageous.

Whitebeard's flag made many people afraid to act rashly. Now that the news of Whitebeard's death has come, these people have naturally rekindled their greed.

"You are a seahorse, right? Even though you are a man, you are also a novel species. You should be able to sell for a high price. Forget about the catfish. Normal people would not be interested in this kind of merman."

Looking at the dark-faced catfish mermaid Left Minister, the leading pirate gave a look of disdain.

The riot here also attracted the attention of other pirates nearby. Some of them began to get restless, but in less than a minute, their attitudes changed.

The despised Left Minister was not angry, but just silently picked up the things behind him and put them back in their original place.

Due to the special environment, wind will also be generated in Fishman Island. Since the wind generated here is closely related to the yang trees, it is generally called tree wind.

At this time, under the blowing of the tree wind, the flag of the Beast Pirate Map fluttered in the wind, and the new skull flag also revealed its ferocious smile.

"I'm really sorry for being a catfish mermaid, but you should recognize this flag, right?"

The Left Minister straightened his clothes and pointed at the new flag, looking even more proud.

"I'm really sorry. There are still many people willing to provide us with shelter. Not all humans are like you, with such a dirty heart."

"Hundred...Hundred Beasts?!"

Chapter 1009: With such a good opportunity, of course I will step on your corpses to get to the top

Whitebeard's flag failed to put an end to human trafficking on Fishman Island, but it did intimidate many villains. Many people gave up the idea out of fear of Whitebeard's power.

Money is tempting, but one must have a life to spend it. Although when Whitebeard was alive, there were still people who violated Whitebeard's bottom line driven by interests and ambitions, but most of them became honest.

It was not until the death of Whitebeard that they dared to really jump out.

But as soon as their ambitions emerged, they were poured a bucket of cold water on them.

It is true that Whitebeard is dead and Fishman Island has lost his protection, but the next moment, Fishman Island has hung up the banner of the Hundred Beasts.

And thanks to Buggy's efforts, a large number of precious footage from the Battle of Marineford were circulated.

Kaido used his own strength to prove himself in front of reporters all over the world. Even the young Whitebeard was no match for him in a fatal fight.

More importantly, compared to the previous strongest man, Kaido, the strongest creature, has a much more violent style of behavior. If you offend him, the consequences will be even worse than offending Whitebeard.

"Captain...what should I do..."

Nothing was done, just a flag made these people hesitate. They knew how terrifying the Four Emperors were, so they didn't dare to invade here when Whitebeard was alive.

It is precisely because they know how terrifying pirates at this level are that they become timid.

"It's fake, it must be fake... How could Fishman Island get in touch with the Beasts so quickly after the end of the Battle of Marineford? It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The leading pirate repeatedly denied the words of the Catfish Left Minister. It would be more accurate to say that he was deceiving himself rather than persuading others.

"Stop kidding me, you stinky fishmen. How can you get in touch with so many monsters?"

"Boss, that ship... seems to be the ship of the Beasts..."

When a pirate group becomes famous, not only their members but also their ships will become more noticeable.

Although the Beast King is Kaido's ship, he is rarely seen on that ship. Kaido relies on his own abilities to fly around most of the time, and only in rare cases will he travel by ship.

Today, the Beast King is acting more as a transport ship. Seeing it in the New World means that the reinforcements of the Beast King have arrived.

Although Arceus' actions were relatively secretive, the Origin also became famous during the Battle of Marineford. Now this ship has become an iconic ship like Whitebeard's Moby Dick.

Everyone on the ship was attending a banquet in Ryugu Castle, so the ship naturally stopped in the harbor of Fishman Island. The pirates didn't pay attention to the ship at first, until the Left Minister hung up the flag of the Hundred Beasts, then they knew why the ship appeared in Fishman Island.

"..."

The hanging flags and the ship of the Beasts, there is no need to explain what the simultaneous appearance of these two things on Fishman Island means. The leading pirate has already developed a very ominous premonition.

The only good news is that they haven't taken any action yet, and their actions just now were just talk. In a sense, there is still time to make amends.

“Actually, this is just a joke, this is one of our shows.

The ocean is too dangerous nowadays. For the safety of Fishman Island, we hope you can have more awareness of the crisis, so we say this."

As arrogant as he was just now, he is as humble now. The pirate leader has a big smile on his face, hoping to get over this matter.

Unfortunately, reality is always extremely cruel.

"Boss! We've caught a few mermaids, why are you still here?"

"..."

This was their plan before entering Fishman Island. After landing, they will split into two groups. As the captain, he will lead a group of people to attract the attention of the Fishman Island guards, while the other subordinates will go to the island to capture mermaids.

It now seemed that the plan had succeeded, but it had succeeded at the wrong time. For the first time, the pirate leader felt disgusted with the high efficiency of his men.

And they got into even more trouble.

Since they had mermaids in their hands, the Sea King's Army simply surrounded them, but other pirates also targeted them.

There are more than one pirate group that landed on Fishman Island, and they all have various purposes, but no one has taken action. Now that they are the first to take action, they have given other pirates an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The pirates who were watching the fun around took out their weapons one by one, with dangerous looks in their eyes.

"What are you going to do?!"

"What are you doing? I can't stand you guys, so I want to kill you!"

"Yes, yes. It's a shame to arrive in Shampooland at the same time as you scum!"

Since the matter could no longer be resolved, the pirate leader returned to his original nature.

"Stop pretending to be so noble! Didn't you guys come here with the same purpose?!"

Seeing the captains of the two pirate groups next to him looking righteous, the pirate who was already at the center of the storm immediately exposed their true colors.

"Don't think I don't know what you two are thinking! You want to step on me and join the Hundred Beasts? Don't dream! The Hundred Beasts don't look down on trash like you!

And don’t get me wrong, I’m not a rookie like you guys.”

The pirates who want to attack him are also newcomers this year. However, under the cover of the halo of the Worst Generation, the Navy and the World Government pay very little attention to them. In the eyes of the Navy, these pirates will become cannon fodder in a short time after entering the New World.

Unlike the pirate who wanted to kidnap the mermaid, he had already been in the Grand Line for a while. When he first entered the New World, he was broken by the cruelty of the New World and escaped back to the first half of the Grand Line. Therefore, he knew how strict the Beasts were in recruiting their subordinates.

People like this who have no skills and no principles in doing things will not even pass the Baishou recruitment audition.

"I advise you two not to have such crooked thoughts. While there are no people from the Beast here, rush out with me. This way you can still get a share of the pie. This is the best thing for you."

After the Battle of Marineford, the name of the Beasts became completely known, and the number of pirates who wanted to join them began to increase sharply. When these two people stood up at this time, the pirate leader could of course guess what they wanted to do.

He simply wanted to please all the beasts by himself so as to gain the qualification to fly the flag of all beasts.

He was not afraid of these pirates, but he did not want to be entangled here. As long as he ran far enough, the beasts might not be able to find him. But if he was dragged here, he would be really finished.

The Beasts had just taken over Fishman Island, and he had kidnapped a mermaid here. If he was caught, he would definitely use his head to establish his authority.

"Don't treat us like fools. We don't know if you will share the money, but if we catch you, the people of Baishou will definitely not kill us, right? At worst, we can use you to exchange for money."

"Yeah, do you still want to drag us down? Compared to a coward who dares not enter the new world and the emperor of the sea, you are obviously easier to deal with."
