Arceus' Pirate Journey

"I just spent it on other things. I've been too lazy to take action recently. Otherwise, I would have enough money to catch two bounty-bearing criminals."

"Burnable criminal...I think I am a criminal with a huge bounty."

"Forget it. I'm no match for you. My ice has no effect on you, especially now."

Kuzan pointed to his broken leg, then continued: "See? The scars from the previous battle. Do you know what Sakaski said?"

"Let me think about it, what he meant is... it's quite hot for people of the same period to fight each other?"

"???"

Chapter 1082: Fishing Kuzan with a Straight Hook

Yamato's answer completely disrupted Kuzan's train of thought. It was not that she was wrong, but that she was too right.

[It's quite hot that the same period turns into a fight between each other]

This is what Akainu said exactly, but the question is why Yamato knew this? Both of them did not hold back in the battle of Punk Hazard, and even the terrain was permanently changed. Moreover, this sentence sounded like a private communication.

Unless Yamato was right beside them during the previous battle, how could he possibly know such a thing.

But the battle between the two of them has always been in full firepower mode. For users with natural abilities, Observation Haki is far more important than Armament Haki. Using Observation Haki to get out of the way in advance is the best way for them to avoid harm.

Being able to dodge the observation Haki of two admirals and not be affected by magma and extreme cold is no longer a question of being strong, it's an outrageous question.

"Reading minds? Is your observation Haki so special?"

If Kuzan had to guess, he could only guess in this direction. The ability to read minds had indeed existed, but it should not belong to Yamato. The only thing Kuzan could figure out was the special nature of his observation Haki.

Unlike the monotony of Armament Haki, Observation Haki can always give birth to some special powers.

"No, I don't know how to read minds. If I could, I would have escaped from the clutches of that old man long ago."

"So how do you know this sentence... Is your intelligence capability so terrifying?"

Kuzan could never have imagined that this sentence was said by another "Kuzan" himself. That kind of thing was beyond his ability to associate.

"How is that possible? How can there be such intelligence? Oh, it's troublesome to make prosthetic limbs with ice. Do you want to consider getting a prosthetic limb? It may not be very convenient in battle. Prosthetic limbs can't be elemental."

"You really can read minds... You also know that I responded to him by saying, 'That's because you're lava.'"

Kuzan's expression was a little stiff. For the first time, he felt that his thoughts were completely understood and what he wanted to say was said in advance. This feeling was not good at all. He had only said those words to Luotuo, and she shouldn't know them no matter what.

"I can't remember clearly. Don't worry about such details. It's just a coincidence. But you don't want to be a marine anymore. Do you want to become a pirate instead?"

"What a joke, I just came over to say hello when I saw an 'acquaintance'. Although I'm no longer a marine, I have no interest in plundering pirates."

"Don't talk nonsense. Looting is something only the lowest-ranking pirates do."

“Low-class pirates… but you are still pirates after all, and it is not the right way to do whatever you want. Even if I say I want to join you, can you trust me?

No one would feel at ease with a man who has been in the navy for decades."

"I didn't intend to trust you..."

"What did you say?"

Yamato's words made Kuzan even more confused. He felt that his thinking was not in the same dimension as Yamato's. Recruiting someone who was not trustworthy sounded outrageous.

"Ahem, I mean, let me analyze the benefits of joining us. First, let's assume that you are an undercover agent, so your real identity is still a marine.

For the navy, my father is the most troublesome pirate right now, so isn't the opportunity to backstab him particularly valuable?

You can try to gain my father's trust and then find a chance to stab him in the back."

"Stop...you're asking me to slow down. Are you teaching me how to backstab your father???"

"A little weird...but that's pretty much it."

It's a pity that Kuzan can't read minds, otherwise he would know what Yamato is thinking. Backstabbing Kaido sounds like a good idea, but it is ridiculously difficult to carry out this action.

Even if she were to launch a sneak attack on Kaido, she might not succeed, let alone Kuzan who is weaker than her. Although he has the ability to restrain himself, Kuzan's success rate in attacking Kaido is infinitely close to zero.

Let's say Kuzan really wants to backstab Kaido.

The burst of ice is not enough to kill Kaido instantly, and it is unrealistic to completely control Kaido. In this way, he cannot perform an effective backstab and can only anger Kaido.

Then let Kuzan slip away, Kaido's anger will divert his attention, and she can have a new peaceful time. This is Yamato's idea.

Besides, there is not only one Kaido among the Beasts. Even if Kuzan wants to make a move in other battles, they have the ability to stop him.

It doesn't matter whether Kuzan really betrayed the navy or pretended to betray the navy, whether he really left the navy or wanted to be an undercover agent. She just wants Kuzan to take the blame.

If Kuzan really doesn't want to be a marine, then letting Kaido train this "newcomer" is a win-win situation no matter how you think about it.

As Kaido's biological daughter, Yamato knows too well about Kaido's abnormal strength. Coupled with the increasingly powerful overall strength of all beasts, she dares to do such a thing.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to get close to him. By the way, Uncle Quinn's bounty is still only alive, and he is usually very careful. This is a good opportunity to capture him alive."

Quinn, who was far away on Onigashima, felt a chill inside her body, as if she was being targeted by some dirty thing. Yamato was not selling Quinn, she was just fishing. According to the Onigashima defense regulations, one of her, Kaido, and Arceus must stay on Onigashima.

No matter who it is, Kuzan doesn't have the ability to take people away in front of them. Quinn here is just a fat bait. He might be frozen, but nothing will happen. His own life-saving methods are enough to deal with him for a long time.

"Do you know what you are saying..."

"I know. You've always wanted to know our secret, right? This is the best opportunity. You have to seize it."

There are secrets on Onigashima, but ever since Arceus openly started the war at the top, the mysterious veil on the beasts began to gradually disappear. Arceus didn't want to make too much noise just to find the stone slab quietly.

But as the stone slabs gradually returned, his actions became bigger. Quinn's career as a scapegoat would eventually come to an end. To be precise, many people in the World Government have already made a judgment, but they just don't want to announce it, nor are they willing to accept the more horrific result.

Of course, the time of announcement was not decided by Yamato, so Yamato only said half of it. Even if Kuzan decided to join, it would not be realistic to enter Onigashima directly.

This has little impact on Yamato. Kaido will wander around anyway. As long as he is in the territory of the Beasts, her ice substitute plan can be successfully implemented.

Yamato's unconventional thinking almost brought Kuzan's thinking to a standstill. He told him in person that we suspect you, but don't mind you joining our group, and even taught him the specific steps to do things.

If the other party's identity was not a problem, he would have to suspect that Yamato was an undercover agent of some organization...

Chapter 1083: The White Dragon's Downtime, the Mysterious "Cause and Effect"

"Let me think... I remember you're a liberal now, and I didn't expect you to want to be a pirate, but isn't it nice to come and see the quagmire? You who are in high positions don't understand the reality of this world at all.

Look somewhere else, maybe you’ll get something different.”

Kuzan hadn't said anything yet, but Youlong's brain had crashed.

In the Dragon Space, Laishiram, who was originally having fun, suddenly choked himself, causing Zekrom, who was standing next to him, to laugh secretly.

"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you that the people chosen by the Lord will always give us some little surprises?"

"No, you who advocate ideals don't understand how much impact that sentence has on me..."

The impact of this sentence on Lai Xiram was no less than that of an elementary school student teaching a university professor how to solve a problem. It was one of the rare shocks in its life.

In order to cope with the difficulties, or to delay the crisis from Kaido, Yamato's brain is overclocking, trying to trick this ice substitute into blocking the knife.

Outsiders will never know, to be more precise, even Yamato herself doesn't know how active her mind can be in this situation.

"Speaking of which, Zekrom, I suddenly had an idea."

"What do you want to do?"

"If we can turn this state into a normal state, then her growth rate should double... No, maybe even more."

"It's unlike you to be so proactive. You obviously don't approve of her at all, so why did you think of taking the initiative to help her grow?"

They were once one, but after the split, there were huge differences in their ideas. Although they have not been in conflict with each other since their birth, it is interesting to see the other side suffer a setback.

Zekrom was just having fun, but he didn't expect Rashiram to suddenly say this.

"In order to prevent the truth from being too naive, so naive that I can't bear to see it."

"Really? That's really like your personality, but it's not real. You should have noticed that this is just a coincidence when she was plotting against that old man. This father and daughter... are very strange."

"So, if we just turn everyone into Kaido, then... No, this is too weird. I don't know how to express it. Just understand what I mean."

Apart from the difference in ideas, Zekrom and Lysram's ways of thinking are very similar, and Zekrom has already understood what the other party means.

"This is not real. This is probably hell for her. I think your approach is wrong, but the plan is still feasible. I think it should..."

.......

There is always some cause and effect in the dark. Yamato didn't know that while she was fooling Kuzan, she was also on the verge of being backstabbed.

Kuzan didn't respond to Xiram's question, but just followed Yamato's train of thought.

"You are the Beast Pirate, and you are the designated successor. Father and foster father, both of you have no objection to your succession. Is it really okay for you to say that the environment you are in is a quagmire?

Boss, another bottle... no, a dozen, we are running low on wine."

"Here we are, but we're out of room temperature stock. I can only give you iced stock."

The tavern owner didn't care about the guest's identity. A dozen bottles of Sherry wine was a considerable profit, so he brought the wine up neatly.

Although one of them was a former admiral of the navy and the other was a monster with a bounty of over 28 billion, the boss did not recognize them.

Whether it was the admirals of the navy or pirates like Yamato, they were too far away from his life. Even though he always heard such news in the newspapers, he never took it to heart.

He felt that he was just an honest businessman and at most he diluted the wine with water.

That kind of person would never have any intersection with him in his life. He remembered some key flags, knew the sheriff on the island, was familiar with the workers on the dock, and even remembered the drunkards who often came here.

But I have no impression of these great figures.

Only the navy, bounty hunters, or merchants in the underground world who deal with pirates every day can remember the general characteristics of these people.

Sometimes it is easy to impersonate someone else by just wearing the other person's iconic clothing. As long as you don't run into acquaintances, ordinary people won't be able to detect it. The difference in facial features will only make outsiders think that the bounty order is a bit outdated. After all, a person may suddenly lose weight or gain weight.

Taking the chilled wine, Kuzan's hands emitted a hint of chill, completing the process of chilling the wine.

The wine the boss gave him was indeed "chilled", but the situation on this island is special. Galapagos Island is a winter island with a very cold climate. The normal temperature here is the iced wine outside, and the iced wine is actually the room temperature wine placed in an unplugged refrigerator.

"Well, some places are also a quagmire for me. I heard that you navy people have your own justice. If Akainu's justice is inconsistent with your justice, then why don't you look for justice somewhere else?

There is a saying that goes, people have to live in the present moment. "

It is not Yamato's hobby to flaunt justice, but it is a good medicine to fool the navy. Burning, lazy, domineering, ambiguous, the top leaders of the navy all have their own claims of justice.

This is also the root cause of the conflict between Akainu and Aokiji. In Aokiji's eyes, Akainu is too radical and will do anything to achieve his goal.

In Akainu's eyes, Aokiji is too lazy and lacks a love for justice.

"Ala, have I ever seen you before when I was drunk? Who on earth told you these strange things..."

"No, at least you didn't."

"That's such a coincidence..."

Live in the present and cherish what is in front of you. This is what Garp taught Kuzan when he was studying under Garp.

Garp always does what he likes. Kuzan envied Garp very much back then and wanted to be like him, but he was not as free and easy as Garp. After he became the admiral, he was subject to many restrictions.

Now that he is free again, he wants to experience that feeling.

"Your suggestion is not bad. I am indeed homeless recently, so it seems like a good idea to go with you for a while."

"I understand. We are temporarily united because of our own interests."

From the very beginning, Yamato was looking for a swordsman, but even if it was Kuzan, the time Kaido was interested in him was only short. Once Kaido lost interest in Kuzan, he was just an ordinary passerby in Yamato's eyes. It didn't matter whether he became an enemy or a friend.

As for Kuzan, he was not biting Yamato's hook. Assassinating Kaido and kidnapping Quinn sounded very tempting, but Kuzan knew very well that if she dared to make such a condition, it meant that she was sure that she could not do it.

Compared to these, he was more concerned about another question. What he wanted to know was how Yamato knew so much about him.

Besides that, no one knows what he wants to do. Even whether he left the navy because of a conflict with Akainu or a plan of the navy, only he knows...

Chapter 1084 Oh my god, they’re calling? !

"Godfather, I'm Yamato. Can I bring someone different back with me this time when I go back to Onigashima?"

After fooling Kuzan and getting a positive answer, Yamato did not delve into Kuzan's specific thoughts. Blackbeard dared to let Kuzan, whose purpose was unknown, be the captain of his ship No. 10, so naturally, Hundred Beasts would dare to do the same.

Not to mention Kaido and Arceus, her own abilities can restrain Kuzan, and there is also a dormant Regiace in Zeraora's home. Even if the icicle slate has returned to Arceus' body, Regiace's abilities are still not afraid of Kuzan.

If an accident really happens, it won’t be a big problem except that it’s difficult to control the aftermath.

But if something really went wrong after bringing Kuzan back to Onigashima, Yamato would also have a headache, so he called Arceus in advance.

As for Kaido...

Yamato is fully confident about this. If something goes wrong, Kaido will definitely take advantage of it. Regardless of whether she is notified in advance or not, she will be pulled into training by Kaido.
