Arceus' Pirate Journey

"That's true, but Brother Jack has been promoted to disaster, so he should take a break."

"No, unless it is Brother Kaido's order, otherwise according to Brother Jack's habit, he should go find a stronger opponent to fight. I guess we will have to recruit more people."

Sipshead's tone was full of affirmation, but that was all for the future. Today, all they had to do was party.

"Jack! Jack! Jack!"

"The fourth disaster! The fourth disaster!"

Accompanied by cheers and the guidance of spotlights, Jack walked in front of the crowd, and Quinn gave him the key position.

"Young ones! Keep cheering! Our brother Jack has finally reached the position of disaster through his own efforts! After many years, the seat of the Three Disasters has finally been increased by one more person!

Next is a prize-winning guessing contest. Let’s see what title those marines will give our brother Jack!”

Kaido's cadres were initially simply called the Three Disasters, and their bounty titles were actually given by the navy based on their fighting styles.

Jin who likes to use fire, Quinn who specializes in poison gas weapons, and Olga who hides in illusions all got their titles for this reason.

If the navy hadn't cooperated, who knows what the situation would be now.

"Brother Quinn! What's the reward?!"

"A chance to dance on the same stage with me!"

The originally excited venue fell into silence due to Quinn's words, and only became lively again under the influence of Apu's music, which also made Quinn more satisfied with Apu.

"What kind of attitude is that! This is a rare opportunity, cherish it! You guys don't understand art!"

After yelling a few words at the audience, Quinn handed the microphone to Jack.

"Let's stop talking nonsense and let our protagonist speak today."

"No, Brother Quinn, is there still this link?"

Jack never thought that he would have to give a speech on such a thing. For him, this was a hellish task on the same level as coaxing a child.

"Of course. You are the first person to be promoted from a disaster. How can you not say something at this time?"

Quinn forced the microphone onto Jack. Jack hesitated for a long time and finally only uttered one sentence.

"For Lord Kaido! For Lord Arceus!"

"Oh!

! ”

......

"Hehe, Jack is such a naive boy."

Kaido laughed as he listened to Jack's speech, but he soon remembered something else and asked Arceus:

"By the way, that Yamato girl hasn't been back much in the past year, has she? She wasn't here this time either."

"Let her travel with Robin and broaden her horizons. Nicole Robin should be able to improve her shortcomings."

"It doesn't matter. I haven't practiced with her recently, so she seems to have relaxed a lot. When she comes back, she'll know what the surprise is. I'll go encourage Jack. His enthusiasm is rare."

Kaido also stood up and walked onto the stage, publicly acknowledging Jack's strength, which caused a new round of enthusiasm among the younger brothers below, especially Sasaki who happened to be on Onigashima. As he was also a Kaido fanatic, his eyes began to light up.

This ceremony officially confirmed Jack's position of disaster, and then according to the pirate custom, their banquet began. However, after drinking a few glasses, Jack left Onigashima and went to the Rabbit Bowl Mine alone.

The position of disaster also needs to be determined. Next, he will use battle to let the navy change his title. In order to determine the positioning of different pirates, the navy will still change the bounty title.

Jack's purpose in coming here was not to hang out. He came here to recruit a group of cannon fodder and find some valuable people among them.

The method is very simple. These people will be required to participate in some almost suicidal tasks. If they survive, their previous crimes will be pardoned. However, so far, there has been no successful example.

Jack's arrival attracted the attention of some prisoners. They didn't know what the people Jack took away were like now. After all, they asked themselves, if they could leave here, they would definitely not come back to visit the prison.

But they also knew that this choice would be extremely dangerous.

Among the prisoners who were mining, there was one person who felt very excited. He was Drake, who had been forgotten for a year and had been mining here for a whole year. He finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Chapter 1063 How can I surrender if you don't ask me to surrender?

"Listen carefully, your chance has come! For people like you, there is only one way out, and that is to mine until death!

But now, Master Jack will give you a new chance to join his team. As long as you can survive ten battles, you can get rid of your prisoner status and gain the qualification to join us!

Of course, I know many of you don’t like us, but you can choose freedom. As long as you can survive, you can go wherever you like!"

The members of the Rabbit Bowl Mine are mainly divided into two parts, local prisoners from Wano Country and prisoners of war from outside. Those who were caught for petty theft and sent in for labor reform are still okay, but in the early years, many resistance forces that refused the rule of the beasts were also imprisoned.

The samurai groups that were imprisoned were quite powerful, and simply mining was a waste, so Kaido generously recruited some of them. As for the diehards who stayed behind, they were gradually consumed in foreign wars in this way.

After all, these people are rather stubborn. They are unwilling to integrate into the new Wano Country, nor do they want to hide themselves. Instead, they choose to use their insignificant strength to fight against the beasts that have already taken root.

"Master Jack, everything is ready. Do you have any other requests?"

"No, let me see how many of these guys who are unwilling to surrender still have the courage."

This was not the first time Babanuki had said such things to the prisoners here, but not many people stood up.

Staying here to mine is a slow death, and going out to fight may lead to faster death.

Especially those pirates from the outside world, many of them have been frightened by the cruelty of the New World and would rather wait for death here than go out and fight.

I could still survive a few years here, but if I go out, I might not survive a week.

Only Drake felt a headache. If it were not inappropriate, he would like to stand up and question Babanuki, what does it mean to be unwilling to surrender?

He originally wanted to join the other side, but he didn't want to fawn like Apu, so he planned to retain some backbone.

His original intention was to hold out for a while and then join the Hundred Beasts when they recruited prisoners, for the sake of his younger brothers' future. However, although the ideal was beautiful, the result was very different from what he expected.

In the past year, no one has taken the initiative to recruit.

Kaido was busy training himself, Quinn was having a great time with his two funny little brothers, and Arceus didn't care about the future of these prisoners. This resulted in Drake, who didn't want to take the initiative to surrender, being forgotten until today when he got this so-called opportunity.

If Baishou had recruited earlier, he would have compromised long ago and it would not have taken so long. If Baishou had delayed a little longer, he would have become the king of miners.

Some people chose to be content with the status quo, while others chose to give it a try. In the end, Jack recruited a group of people including Drake.

"Not bad, you guys are quite courageous. Master Jack has now been upgraded to a new disaster. Don't be so rigid. Maybe we can still travel together in the future if you can survive."

Most people didn't pay attention to this sentence. Jack's status had nothing to do with them, but Drake was different.

Before carrying out the undercover plan, he had read some information about the Beasts. Although the information had large errors in terms of personality, it could still be used as a reference for judging their strength.

The hierarchy of the Beasts is very strict. To become a disaster-level cadre means that his strength can cause a large-scale disaster on a battlefield. This is undoubtedly bad news for the navy.

Before he could think about it, Babanuki took these people to another room, processed their release procedures and arranged a meal for them.

As the warden, Babanuki was in charge of the last meal for these people. It was no longer just rice balls, but a meal with wine and meat.

In Babanuki's view, this kind of mission was simply a way to die, and the purpose was to squeeze out the last value of these prisoners. This meal was the last meal before execution.

And dying in battle is better than waiting to die cowardly, so we can make an exception and eat something good.

Jack acted quickly. Within a few days, he started a new journey with his fleet. During this time, Drake was unable to send out any information. With his current identity, he had no chance of contacting the Den Den Mushi.

Apart from fighting, all of them were kept in a specially prepared cabin, and Jack only allowed them to engage in boarding battles, eliminating any chance of escape in the vast ocean.

Even if these people tried to jump into the sea to escape, they were no match for the fishmen on the sea. Although Jack himself was not fast, he had a special supervisor on his ship - Kawamatsu.

After Kozuki Hiyori completely defected, the mentality of the three people who followed her also changed greatly.

The one who changed the most was Kikunosuke. As his relationship with Drake became increasingly close, he had accepted this situation unless there were special circumstances.

Kawamatsu has always felt guilty about what happened to Hiyori Kozuki. After seeing the current situation in Wano Country, his heart changed. Only Denjiro was still unwilling to accept this reality, but he didn't do anything and was just a little negative.

In addition to the current extreme cooperation between Kozuki Hiyori and them, the three of them have long escaped the position of being forced to carry out dangerous missions at the beginning. Kawamatsu and Kikunosuke will even participate in some special operations.

For example, He Song, who was serving as the military supervisor at that time.

The efficiency of his mission was directly linked to Kozuki's day and the living ration for the next month. Under such circumstances, Kawamatsu worked very hard, and those who tried to jump into the sea to escape could not escape his pursuit at all.

Under the high-intensity fighting, this group of people continued to die, and Drake also suffered a lot of injuries in several battles, but he managed to persevere. Although his one-year mining career was not a crash course, he gained some extra benefits.

In order to obtain more food, he could only work hard at digging. Through the mechanical movements, his body maintained high-intensity exercise and did not become exhausted.

......

Peng!

Drake kicked a navy man into the sea. Jack's targets have always been random. Whether it is a pirate ship or a navy that enters their territory without permission, they are his targets.

When fighting pirates, Drake acted very decisively, but facing his former colleagues, he could not help but hesitate. However, in order to ensure the smooth progress of his undercover work, he had to fight, and could only try his best to reduce the casualties of the navy in this way.

With his understanding of the warship's structure, Drake rushed into the cabin first during the battle, found the storage room inside the warship, and found the Den Den Mushi in the secret compartment of the cabin. After making sure that no one was around, he finally dialed the Den Den Mushi number that should have been broadcasted long ago...

Chapter 1064: The Undercover Agent, Whitebeard II in Action

He should have made this call a year ago, but unfortunately, due to misfortune, intelligence errors and his wrong decision, he had to work as a miner for a year.

The Den Den Mushi was quickly connected, but no sound came from the other end.

Drake dialed a private number of Sengoku. Although Den Den Mushi did not have the caller ID function, outsiders did not know this number at all. Only people who could call this Den Den Mushi were performing special missions.

Hearing the connection, Drake breathed a sigh of relief. He found a suitable posture, pretended to be exhausted and leaned against the wall. He placed the Den Den Mushi aside as if it had fallen accidentally, and then knocked gently on the deck.

He made sure that there was no one around just to make the call; he didn’t want to be discovered during the conversation and have his one-year mining career go to waste.

Winter... Winter...

Regular noises were heard in Zhan Guo's office. Although the sound coming from the microphone was very noisy, Zhan Guo still heard the secret message from Drake.

[Marshal Sengoku, I am Drake. The plan has begun to be implemented. I have been given the opportunity to join the other party. Iron Mammoth Jack has been promoted to the fourth disaster. The Navy branch may be attacked in the near future. Cooperation is required...]

Listening to the information in the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku also breathed a sigh of relief. Drake had lost contact since the last time he reported that he had started an action. It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth for a whole year.

At first they thought Drake was making preparations, but as time went on, Zhan Guo thought something had happened to him. If it weren't for the fact that only he and a few high-ranking officials knew about this matter, he would have suspected that Drake's intelligence had been leaked, causing the undercover operation to fail.

[Got it. Why did it take so long to get the news? If you delay for a few more months, the Admiral will be replaced.]

What Sengoku said was the truth. After a long debate, the Navy and the World Government respectively wanted Kuzan and Sakaski to become the new admirals, but there was no result after several meetings.

Neither Kuzan nor Sakaski were willing to give in. Kuzan, who was usually extremely lazy, strongly opposed Sakaski's appointment as marshal, and finally decided to decide the marshal's position by force.

However, if the two of them fight without restraint, the impact will be too great, so the World Government and the Navy are looking for a suitable place to fight.

[It's hard to explain in a few words. The current situation is not suitable for small talk. We will contact each other later. 】

After Drake typed out the last part of the secret order, Sengoku didn't say anything and hung up the phone directly. Drake did not put the Den Den Mushi back to its place, but turned into an Allosaurus and rushed out of the deck, making the entire warship a mess.

"Brother Jack, this is the only one left of that group. It looks like he can survive this battle."

On the Iron Mammoth, Sipshead was observing the battle ahead with a telescope. All those who left the prison with Drake had died in the battle.

"He's an ancient species. Let me see... This guy was also a supernova a year ago."

"So he's been...mining all year?"

Listening to Sipshead's report, Jack was a little confused. Drake's behavior recently seemed to indicate that he was considering joining them.

But in the past year he was a diehard, which made him wonder why he didn't surrender earlier if he was planning to join.

"Yeah...So Brother Jack, what are you going to do?"

"He can survive ten battles, so he is naturally qualified to join. But there is something wrong with this guy. You should keep a closer eye on him. That's what you mean, right?"

The first half of the sentence was addressed to Sipshead, but in the second half, Jack's target was Frosty the Fairy. Sipshead said nothing, and seemed to have gotten used to it. He just silently kept Jack's request in mind.

......

At the Naval Headquarters, Sengoku also issued some orders to the warships that stopped in the New World, and then began to look at the latest intelligence.

He is still the current Admiral of the Navy, and he still has to make the final decision on many matters.

"It's been so long, and there's still so much trouble on the sea... Where did that Garp guy go?"

"Mr. Garp recently returned to the East Sea. I heard that he captured a lot of pirates, Marshal Sengoku."

On the sofa nearby, Kizaru was trimming his nails with nail clippers. When Aokiji and Akainu were preparing for the position of admiral, he was also assigned to the Marine Headquarters so that he could support the nearby World Government nobles at any time.

"Tsk, he's back again... His grandson is not a worry at all."

Sengoku had expected Garp to return to the East China Sea. After the war at the top, pirates appeared in large numbers in various places. Garp went to the East China Sea to make his hometown more peaceful. After all, he was arresting pirates, so Sengoku couldn't say anything and could only curse him inwardly.

"Speaking of Mr. Garp's grandson, there is something that has happened recently that is closely related to them. Marshal Sengoku, you have also seen the information about Whitebeard II, right? I heard that he is a monster with the same terrifying power as Whitebeard when he was young."

"Haven't you experienced firsthand the power of Whitebeard when he was young?
