Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Olga, I leave it to you. One minute. If you can't finish it, prepare to practice Armament Haki tomorrow."

"Eh? Why me? Captain, it was Uncle Quinn who said 1 minute, not me!"

"Five minutes then. We can't delay any longer, but there are people waiting for us."

"Captain, how about changing someone?" Olga was not interested in this kind of battle. She was not the type who was crazy about battle. If possible, she would rather slack off. However, Kaido did not give her a chance to refuse and had already started the countdown.

"No, you still have four and a half minutes."

Olga's face twitched a few times, her hair began to grow, and claws appeared on her fingers. She directly entered the human-beast form, and jumped off the boat with her legs.

But in the eyes of Kurozumi Muchan, it was a different scene. Except for the man at the beginning who was knocked down by Olga's domineering claws, the rest of the people actually started killing each other, and their attacks were very heavy. Although not fatal, they had to rest for a few days at least.

Chapter 138: Kaido's stick dance, aimed at Orochi

This is the power of illusion. After three years of training, she can skillfully use the ability of Zoroark's illusion in human-beast form. It took Olga 4 minutes and 27 seconds to eliminate all the enemies. This was because some people could not be determined in the fight, so Olga had to take extra actions.

Yes, she thought Kaido meant for the whole group to be wiped out.

"You can't do it. Olga was able to finish off these guys in less than four and a half minutes, but you need three minutes."

"Why, do you want to try and see how many minutes I need to spank you?"

He started arguing with Quinn, but it was just two sentences. With the appearance of Quinn's treasure, Shayna, Quinn wisely chose to shut up. However, Kaido's next words made Kurozumi Murasaki's heart tremble.

Kurozumi Muchan thought this was just Kaido's way of showing off his power, but Kaido said to her, "You guys are too weak. How can you defend this place? We are allies now, so leave this to us."

Babanuki, take your men and take over the defense here, and let our allies have a good rest."

Only then did she realize that Kaido wanted to take over the defense here directly. The danger of crossing the waterfall is much higher than that of the diving port, and there are only a few people who can fly. In other words, Kaido wants to control the throat of Wano Country's import and export.

“This is inappropriate….”

"Don't be polite. Look, these people can't even stop a little girl on my ship. How can they stop foreign enemies? I'm doing this for your own good. Don't you even have this little trust?"

"Well... Lord Orochi has been waiting for a long time. It is not appropriate for you to come here from afar and wait here directly. Let's talk about it later. I think Lord Orochi will agree."

Kurozumi Murasaki didn't dare to agree directly, and still suggested that Kaido go meet Kurozumi Orochi first. Kaido agreed to her request when seeing Kurozumi Murasaki's nervous look, and told her not to take too big a step and to give her a sense of urgency first.

They had just arrived here, so naturally he couldn't just leave his men here to guard the door. His goal was only to gain control of the place later, not all of it. As long as he had his own men, it would be enough.

What he is asking for now is simply exorbitant. As the saying goes, one asks for a sky-high price and then returns a low price. It's just that Kaido's standards are a little high.

After Olga dispelled the illusion, these people became noticeably quieter, but some of them were still muttering words like "witch". They did not understand what the power of a devil fruit was.

However, Olga had already proved everything to them with her fists, so even though the people coming down from the boat were of different shapes and included several non-humans, no one raised any questions.

At this time, Orochi is in the Flower Capital, which is the center of Wano Country. The canal within the entire Wano Country is divided into several parts. The location of the submerged port is in the Baimai area. From here, go north across the bridge to the Flower Capital where Orochi is.

The huge team along the way attracted the attention of the local residents of Wano Country. These people had not seen so many outsiders for a long time. Moreover, there were many non-human beings in the Beast Pirates, including Arceus, Gilgamesh, Zeraora, Setsuna, and Inlisabeth.

Their unique appearance kept causing these people to whisper, but the person walking in front was under the banner of the Big Snake, so he didn't cause any commotion.

The Beasts Pirates went straight through Hakumai and reached the Flower Capital, and the matter was first reported to the Hakumai Daimyo Shimotsuki Yasuie.

"Master Kang, there is a group of outsiders heading to the Flower Capital, led by the Great Snake's men."

Several daimyo were skeptical about Orochi becoming the acting shogun. Shimotsuki Yasuie was also puzzled by this, after all, Orochi once worked as a handyman under his command under an assumed name.

However, Kozuki Sukiyaki had just passed away, and his last words were that he hoped Orochi would serve as acting shogun before Oden returned, which stabilized the situation in the country.

It had only been a short time since the obituary of Kozuki Sukiyaki spread throughout Wano Country, and the outsiders brought in by Orochi at this time were somewhat suspicious.

"Send someone to see what those people did. I still believe in Sukiyaki-sama."

The people of Wano Country have an almost blind worship for the generals of the Kozuki family, which is why Kurozumi Orochi was able to control Wano Country so smoothly.

With the banner of Kurozumi Orochi, the Beasts Pirates entered the Flower City without any hindrance. It was already night when they entered the Flower City, but the lanterns still illuminated the place. Although the country was closed to the outside world, the people's lives were still pretty good.

Soon they arrived at Orochi's residence, which was also the center of the Flower City and where the general lived. However, Kurozumi Orochi was planning to rename it Orochi Castle.

"Guhehehe, thank you for waiting for a long time, Kaido. Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

He thought this would be a friendly meeting, but contrary to his expectations, Kaido did not have a good attitude towards him. Not only that, after he said this, he always felt that he was being stared at by something unknown, which made him feel a chill down his spine.

"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied. I will definitely repay you...well, repay you."

There was a special smile on Kaido's lips, but it was full of danger. Unfortunately, Kurozumi Orochi did not realize this.

"As long as you are satisfied, come on, everyone. I have prepared the most grand welcome ceremony."

However, from this moment on, everything became a little different. The ordinary members ate and drank in the meeting hall below, while several cadres and Kaido entered Orochi's banquet hall.

From this time on, Da She's troubles began. He felt that the people of Bai Shou seemed to be looking for trouble.

The food was not to my taste, the wine was too light, the person who served the dishes sold the right foot first, and all kinds of weird reasons kept popping up. It was hard to finally get to the stage of drinking the alliance wine.

He and Kaido raised their wine bowls at the same time, but Orochi didn't notice that Kaido didn't drink a drop of the wine in his bowl, and it all spilled on his clothes.

But after that, he stood up again with a drunken look on his face. After all, he had drunk a lot of wine before, so Da She didn't find it strange.

"What's wrong, Kaido?"

"Hehe, the dance you women perform is so ugly, how about letting me help you entertain?"

Having said this, he walked to the center of the venue without paying any attention to the bewildered dancers and began to dance in a strange, slightly comical manner. He didn't know when the eight precepts came back into his hands, and he began to dance along with his comical dance moves.

Orochi thought that this was Kaido's way of showing goodwill, and he laughed in his seat. But before his laughter ended, he saw the mace in Kaido's hand fly towards him, and was finally narrowly stopped by a barrier.

"Kaido?! What are you going to do!?"

Chapter 139 Oops, my hand slipped

"Ugh, sorry, Snake, I drank too much and my hands are a little slippery... burp~"

Kaido looked like he was drunk and out of control, but Orochi didn't believe a word of it. It would be ok for him to drop his mace when he was drunk, but who would use Haki before dropping a mace?

His own strength is indeed not that great, but that doesn't mean he has never seen others use Ryuo.

Ryuo is another name for Armament Haki in Wano Country. Due to the country's closed-door policy, many things have nicknames in Wano Country, such as the user of Devil Fruit ability is called a sorcerer, and Armament Haki is called Ryuo.

Ryuo is not the highest level of Armament Haki. All Armament Haki in Wano Country are collectively called Ryuo. The advanced Armament Haki that can cause internal destruction is the highest level of Ryuo. This is just an alias, not a distinction of levels.

It was obvious that Kaido's blow was meant to kill him. If he didn't have someone he could trust, that blow would have taken his life.

What stopped Kaido's attack was one of the most buggy devil fruits, the barrier fruit, which can create a hard barrier of absolute defense.

The barrier cannot be destroyed by any means and can even block an attack from the Four Emperors.

The disadvantage is that the total area of ​​the barrier that can be released at the same time is limited, and a gesture of crossing the index and middle fingers must be maintained.

The current user of the Barrier Fruit is Kurozumi Chanmaru, also known as Biwa Master. Like Kurozumi Kurasaki, he is a member of the Kurozumi family who lives overseas.

Of course Kaido didn't do it accidentally, he did it on purpose. The wine in Wano Country is much lighter than that outside, and the little he drank was not enough to make him drunk. Now that he had entered Wano Country, he wanted to try if he could send Kurozumi Orochi away with one blow.

If they send him away directly, then the strategic policy of the Beasts will change directly. Having already penetrated into the interior, they have many ways to deal with the next situation.

After all, his hand slipped and it was not intentional. However, since the attack was blocked, he had no intention of continuing to attack the snake. This could only be regarded as an attempt. If it succeeded, it would be great, but if it failed, there was nothing to regret. Just treat it as a warning.

Moreover, this stick successfully forced out a trump card from Orochi, and the ability of this barrier had a great impact.

As for why he did this, it's nonsense. What Kurozumi Orochi said was to accelerate his own death. Unfortunately, he still doesn't know how big a mistake he made.

The reason why he did not continue was very simple. If he slipped his hand this time, it would be called manslaughter, which was not intentional on his part. If he did it again, it would be intentional.

Deliberately killing his "ally" as soon as he arrived was not conducive to future development. Besides, he was not completely useless if he was alive. He could be used to create the image of the Hundred Beasts.

"Slipping my hand? Kaido, do you believe this reason?"

"Ah? I'm telling the truth. I often slip up, right, guys?"

"Yeah, yeah, Brother Kaido always does strange things after drinking. Last time he even went to the naval base to dance."

"That was a long time ago. The last time, wasn't he fighting someone? Who was it? Never mind. Everyone died anyway."

The people below continued the conversation and helped Kaido to establish his reputation as the one who made a slip of the hand.

Amid the laughter of the Hundred Beasts members, the big snake could no longer hold back, and some subtle changes occurred on its body surface. However, Heitan Muchan, who was standing next to it, grabbed its hand and shook his head, signaling the big snake to calm down.

Seeing that Orochi did not take action, Kaido shook his head in disappointment. If he took action, Hundred Beasts would have a reason to take action. As for the Barrier Fruit, although its ability was troublesome, it was not impossible to deal with.

At worst, he could transform into a green dragon and throw both the man and the house into the sea. He didn't believe that a person with special abilities could create any waves after being thrown into the sea.

"Kaido, that's enough. We are guests, so we should give him some face. This is Wano Country, and we will have to rely on him more in the future."

Arceus spoke out to stop Kaido. He knew a little about the national conditions of Wano Country. If the beasts wanted to rule here, they would have to use Kurozumi Orochi to eliminate the rule of the Kozuki family.

At that time, Orochi's actions will be exposed, allowing him to share the people's hatred and establish a new puppet regime, so that Wano Country can be completely controlled.

Then it will take time for ordinary people to get used to the rule of beasts. It is not easy to find a scapegoat as good as Orochi. It will only take a few years. For the sake of great development, he can still endure it.

Amidst the laughter, an unusual voice appeared, and it was someone who called Kaido's name directly. The most important thing was that Kaido actually listened to the other person, which naturally attracted Orochi's attention.

But the next moment, he knew that these were all illusions. Kaido's actions were just a slap in his face, while Arceus' actions were actually cutting his flesh.

"We have more than a thousand people here this time. After sailing for a long time, many people feel bored. On the way here, we seem to have seen your cruise ship, and many people are very interested. However, it seems that you don't need Bailey here. How about supporting us with some money?

Just give a few dozen gold coins to each person, because traveling and accommodation always cost money."

The currencies of Wano Country are platinum, gold, and silver. Among them, platinum is rare, but it has the highest value. One platinum is enough to build a house in Wano Country.

Ordinary residents commonly use gold and silver. The value of gold is about 100 berries, and the value of silver is about berries.

Arceus asked for dozens of gold per person, which was equivalent to asking Orochi to pay hundreds of millions of berries directly. He had only been in the position of acting general for a short time, and all the people under him had to be supported by money. This really hit him in the heart.

Kaido made him lose face, but he could tolerate the loss of face. Compared with the loss of money, face was nothing.

He knew that he had to spend money, but he felt that it was enough to prepare some money for Kaido. As for the pirates under his command, you are pirates, and pirates have to spend money to buy things?

He didn't know that at this moment, both Kaido and Arceus regarded Wano Country as their own territory. Of course, they couldn't do stupid things like exhausting the resources on their own territory, and they should spend money.

Besides, brothels are not decent places. Others work hard to earn money, and it is extremely shameful to take advantage of them for free.

At this moment, Kaido suddenly felt that he had misunderstood Arceus' idea. His temporary letting go of the other party did not mean letting him go completely. This was to squeeze out the other party's value first and then send him away. In comparison, his idea of ​​sending the other party away with one blow was simply too naive.

"That's right, Orochi. It's just a few tens of thousands of gold. You wouldn't be reluctant to part with it, right?"

Chapter 140: An acquaintance in the entertainment area

Kurozumi Orochi felt very painful and couldn't bear to part with it. He had borrowed all this money from Oden in a humble manner, and then he had worked hard to develop to where he is today through various businesses. What Baijuu was doing was simply robbery.

But for the sake of future plans, he still gave the money, and then they discussed the issue of future base. It was impossible for the Beasts Pirates to live directly in someone else's house, and Orochi was already worried about them being stationed nearby, and now he was even more worried.

So he took out the map of Wano Country and pointed to a location in the inner sea of ​​Wano Country.

"Can we use this place as your base? It's quite large, and you can use the entire island as you wish."

"Okay, but the craftsmen who build the buildings will have to be your people."

After Kaido thought he had discovered Arceus's purpose, he began to seriously discuss business with Orochi. However, Orochi asked for exorbitant prices in various aspects. Finally, under Kaido's military pressure, Orochi and the Beasts signed a series of treaties.

Moreover, Kaido refused Orochi's attempt to stay and wanted to go to the playground with other pirates.

Just when Orochi thought everything was settled, Arceus, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and looked at him.

"General Orochi, sweet dreams."

At that moment, the Black Charcoal Snake felt as if he was being stared at by some prehistoric giant beast. A sense of crisis arose in his heart, and his whole body shivered uncontrollably.

......

"What did you do to him?"

"Fearful Yan, with a little trick, he should have some nice dreams tonight. By the way, do you really want to beat him to death with a stick? Have you forgotten the plan we discussed before?"

It's not that he didn't tell Kaido anything. They have already made a rough plan about Wano Country. If Kurozumi Orochi really died here, all those plans would be in vain.

“The plan can be changed, and that guy is also looking for death. But I think I understand what you mean, so I’ll keep him and let you do it yourself.

"Young men! If you want to go to the amusement park, go find Quinn to get the money! Meet here before noon tomorrow, understand!"

This kind of business also exists in other islands, but it is relatively rare. Stussy's Happy Street is full of this kind of business. Most of these people are pirates. Unless they are all cut off, this kind of business cannot be restricted.

It took a lot of effort to prohibit those people from breaking the law. It was not against the rules to go to places like Youkou, but there were always people who were not interested in it. Arceus led them to the base of the beasts, which was the future location of Onigashima.

"Zeraora, what is the Youku? Is it fun? They are all so excited, why don't they let me go?" Setsuna didn't understand the word "Youku". Seeing those pirates who were getting paid so excitedly, she thought it was a particularly interesting place, so she also lined up to get paid.

But Quinn saw that she didn't give him any money at all, but threw it to Zeraora.

"...That's not a place for children. Let's go grill some fish." With a twitching mouth, he pulled Setsuna away, but still took one hundred gold from Quinn. That was the activity fund for everyone. Just because they didn't go to Youku didn't mean they wouldn't get the money.

But things weren't over for Quinn yet, because Assie was seen among those who received the money.
