Arceus' Pirate Journey

"You, why, do you want to go too?"

"This... ahem..."

"Okay, I understand. We're all men, so have fun." As he said that, he gave Asie a handful of gold coins. There was a limit on the amount that ordinary members could give, but Asie was the only purely civilian cadre after all, so he didn't need to worry about this.

He hadn't done that kind of thing for many years, and he was somewhat tempted when he passed by Youkuo before. But at this time, he found that Quinn's expression seemed to have changed, and he was still winking at him.

As he turned around, he saw the figure he least wanted to see.

"Olga?! Why are you here?!"

"Isn't it normal for me to be here? But where do you want to go, Dad? Are places like Youku fun?"

“This…this…I…”

"Forget it. I don't care about you. Just do whatever you want. Find someone more expensive and don't get involved in any messy diseases." After saying that, he stuffed his money into Asier's pocket and rode away on Yin Lishabeth.

This made Asier feel conflicted, not knowing whether he should follow the group going to the Youkou.

......

Not long after, a large number of outsiders entered the brothel in the Flower Capital. The brothel was the official red-light district of the Country of Wano. There were both oiran who sold their art but not their bodies, and prostitutes who engaged in ordinary flesh trade.

Kaido and his men all claim to be guests of Orochi, which has somewhat curbed the xenophobia problem in Wano Country. Moreover, in the recreational area, the rich are the masters, and the pirates with an average salary of 50 gold per person still enjoy good treatment here.

There were also many people standing by the windows on the second floor looking at the foreign pirates below. The clothes that were completely different from the traditional costumes of Wano Country aroused their curiosity, but several of the children's attention was always on Kaido's horn.

Those were children bought by the owners of different brothels. When they were young, they were responsible for cleaning. Some of them began to learn from adults when they reached a certain age, or waited a few years and started doing business directly.

One of them ran back into the house and later found someone.

"Sister Riko, Sister Riko, there's someone here who has horns just like Uncle White."

Judging from her face, this person is about 30 years old, which is the age for retirement. Although she still stays here, she is now doing miscellaneous work.

But what is different is that she is carrying a baby on her back and a pair of small horns can be seen on her head.

The girl from outside was raised by her, so the relationship between the two is pretty good.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. That guy is very tall and strong. He's taller than Uncle White."

She was originally an ordinary prostitute here, but she was redeemed a few years ago. However, because she had a good relationship with the mama-san here, she stayed here to do jobs like cleaning the floor to supplement her family income.

The person who redeemed her was her current husband, who also stayed in the brothel to do odd jobs. Because he was an outsider, it was difficult for people from other places to accept such a person.

He had sold all his belongings to redeem Riko, and the two of them were penniless and had no choice but to stay here and work properly to make a living. No one wanted White, an outsider, and Riko didn't know anything else.

The madam of this brothel was not too heartless and still left them a room for them to stay in temporarily.

Everything was fine and they even had a child, but not long ago White fell seriously ill and is now in a terminal stage. No one knows when he may die.

"Sayuri, are you telling the truth?"

"Really, those outsiders nearby called him... um....right, Kaido!"

Hearing these words, there seemed to be a ray of light in White's gloomy eyes.

"Ahem...Riko, help me find him..."

"Wait, White, your body..."

"I can't do it anymore. If it's really him, you should be able to rely on him..."

The man's full name was Blake White, and their daughter's name was Blake Maria, or Black Maria.

Chapter 141: I will take care of your wife and children, so don't worry.

"Sayuri, do you remember where he is?"

“Remember… remember.”

"lead the way."

White looked very thin, but he was over four meters tall. It was quite difficult for Riko to support him, so she could only use him as a human crutch.

Outside, Kaido had no intention of playing with his men. He was just observing the surrounding environment, such as the sword-wielding warriors outside the houses. There were a lot of them, and they looked much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

"This seems to be a good place to recruit soldiers."

Just as he was thinking this, a slightly excited voice came from behind him.

"Kaido, you are Kaido, right?"

"Huh? Who are you?"

"White, Blake White, have you forgotten? We were in the same team in the Woka Kingdom, and I was the head cook. You really liked the meals I cooked back then."

White tried hard to bring up some things and finally made Kaido remember him.

"It's you. I still remember the taste of the drunken beef you made. No one else can make that taste. Why are you here?"

Kaido didn't expect to see an old acquaintance from the Woka Kingdom here, and was even more curious about how he got here.

"It's a long story. It happened after you left..."

"Leave? Is that how that old man described me? It doesn't fit his style."

"They said it was a defection, but no one believed it because you left the Woka Kingdom and were not able to join the World Conference and participate.

Moreover, without you, the Woka Kingdom suffered a series of defeats in battle, and even allowed others to counterattack the capital, and the old king ran away on his own.

Later, because it could not pay the gold from heaven, the Kingdom of Woka lost its status as an allied country, and the military forces united together to ensure the security of the country.

But there are also many people who choose to go to sea, such as me. By the way, do you still remember Utlun? That guy has made quite a name for himself. "

White told Kaido the names of several old acquaintances, all of whom were Kaido's comrades-in-arms at the time, and Utlun even had a good relationship with him.

"Remember, I met him last year, but he didn't want to join me. But why are you in Wano Country?"

"Well... we were just having a small fight, and then the ship encountered a shipwreck, and everyone else died. I was lucky enough to drift to this place and save my life, and then I met Riko."

He came to Wano Country a few years ago. At that time, many people in the Woka Kingdom chose to go to sea. This was somewhat related to Kaido. He was the strongest soldier in the kingdom at that time, and many people regarded him as an idol.

After seeing Kaido’s bounty order, many people have embarked on this path, but not everyone has Kaido’s strength and luck.

White then briefly told Kaido about his experiences over the years before getting to the point.

"My body can't hold on for much longer, Kaido, for the sake of our past friendship, please help me take care of my wife and daughter... Her name is Riko, this is my daughter Maria..."

As he spoke, White suddenly began to pant. He had just found Kaido with great difficulty and told him everything in one breath. Now his body could not hold on any longer.

He is not afraid of death, but he is worried about what will happen to his wife and daughter after his death, so after hearing the news about Kaido, he dragged his seriously ill body to find him.

Back then on the battlefield, Kaido was always the most reliable comrade-in-arms. White just hoped that Kaido would still remember their friendship and help him take care of his wife and daughter.

He really couldn't believe the local people in Wano Country. Because of the horns on his head, many people called him a monster. Only Riko did not discriminate against him at that time and helped him treat the wounds he suffered in the shipwreck.

That's why after he found Riko, he sold the treasures he had on him to redeem her, and then lived here.

".....I understand. I will take good care of them."

"Thank you..." After getting Kaido's consent, White's body suddenly softened, as if he had lost all his strength.

Originally he was holding on to his last breath because he was worried about his wife and daughter. Now after seeing Kaido, he thought that his wife and daughter had found support, and he felt relieved and naturally couldn't hold on any longer.

Arceus is not here. He has taken some people to the future ghost island, including Naqin. Women have no interest in Youkou at all.

Although Quinn was here, he could see that White had exhausted all his vitality and that medicine could not cure his death, so he was now beyond help.

"This is wine from the Kingdom of Woka. I got it from Utrun not long ago. Have a drink."

"It really is... the taste of my hometown... Kaido... please..." In a foreign country, he was more willing to believe Kaido, his former comrade-in-arms, even though he was just a cook.

"Don't worry, just go with peace of mind." This time he didn't get a reply from White, because he had really left completely.

"White! White!" Looking at White who had lost his voice, Riko found it hard to accept this for a while.

"Come with me. I promised White that I would take care of you for him. If you don't want to leave... Manderfish, go buy the store where she lives. If they don't have enough money, ask them to ask Orochi for it."

When everyone else went out to have fun, Manderfesh did not. He chose to stay with Kaido. Arceus had Shaina and Zeraora. As long as the two of them were there, others could not show their courtesy to him, so he chose to stay with Kaido.

It is said that Baishou is planning to further differentiate the ranks of cadres recently, so he still needs to perform well.

His ability makes him considered a junior cadre in the Beasts Pirates. After training, Magikarp's ability has also made him have a "copper skin and iron bones". The characteristics of Magikarp's hard scales all over his body are clearly revealed in him.

Ordinary bullets cannot hurt him, not even ordinary swordsmen. Only swordsmen who have mastered the level of steel-cutting can hurt him. In this regard, his ability is very similar to Mr. 1 Daz Bonis's Quick-Slashing Fruit, but his attack power is not as strong as his.

He couldn't turn his arms into swords, and he mainly fought with his fists. Although he was not weak, the other people who gained abilities were on par with him, and Babanuki was his strong competitor.

At this time, of course, we need to show more presence in front of Kaido.

At Kaido's request, he immediately took a few people and let Sayuri lead the way to the brothel, while Kaido collected White's body and planned to see him off for the last time.

Having been on the battlefield since he was 10 years old, he was already accustomed to death, so White's death did not make him sad. Anyway, he would fulfill his promise to take care of his wife and daughter, but later he may have taken care of them a little too much.

Chapter 142 This is not the situation I want to see

On the other side, in Orochi's residence, he angrily overturned the table after Kaido and others left.

"What kind of partnership is this? This is simply robbery! Robbery!"

"Lord Orochi, pirates are robbers on the sea, and this is exactly what you want. We want to take revenge on the entire Wano Country. Only such evil parties can do this, and only powerful military force can fight against Oden."

Heitan Muchan was not angry, but instead explained the pros and cons.

"And only with Kaido's arrival can we open more factories."

What they are worried about is not the resistance of the daimyo. As long as Kurozumi Orochi has the title of acting shogun, those people will not take direct action. Kaido's power is prepared to prevent subsequent events.

"We will take back what we have lost from those untouchables, so Lord Orochi, please be patient for a while."

"I know... You guys go down, I need to rest."

But today was destined to be different from the past. As soon as Da She closed his eyes, he saw a terrifying ghost face attacking him. He was so scared that he sat up instantly and hit the wall behind him.

The fearful look left by Arceus was destined to give him a good dream, but this good dream was only for Arceus.

Under the influence of Arceus's fear face, Kurozumi Orochi could not sleep the whole night. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would see all kinds of monsters, and the situation became more serious as time passed.

At first it was just a monster, but later on the things that appeared were the things he feared the most, such as Kaido holding a stick, the furious Kozuki Oden, and a group of daimyo who discovered the truth.

It was not until the sun rose that the terrifying effect left by Arceus slowly dissipated. But just as I felt sleepy, someone walked in.

"Who let you in?"

"Lord Orochi, you said yesterday that I would report to you immediately if there was any new situation."

"Tell me, what did those guys do? Did they burn down the house or kill people, or did a daimyo have a conflict with them?"

"None of this... They forcibly bought a brothel and filled in your name on the bill..."

"What did you say?!" Orochi felt something was not right. He had called this group of pirates here hoping that they would attack the people of Wano Country, and it would be best if they could just rob them clean. But now it seemed that this group of pirates were specifically robbing him.

What happened in the Flower Capital Yukaku last night was no secret. In addition to Kurozumi Orochi, Shimotsuki Yasuie, Shimotsuki Gyumaru, Utsuki Tempura, and Fuzuki Miyuki all received the same news.

This also made them curious about the Beasts Pirates, wanting to know what kind of force this was.

In Kuri, the local daimyo Kozuki Oden had already gone out to sea, leaving behind only his retainers. They only knew that Kurozumi Orochi had brought a group of foreign pirates, and that those pirates had been partying in the amusement park last night, but they didn't know anything else.

The next day, Orochi recruited a group of craftsmen and laborers in the name of the acting shogun of Wano Country, and sent them to an isolated island in the inland sea to build a new territory for Kaido. Riko and Maria were also taken back by Kaido, and there was one more baby being raised by the beasts.

But Maria's mother is still alive, so her treatment is much better than Jack's.

The reason why Kaido bought the prostitutes' house was also to collect intelligence. Although the number was relatively small, there were some female ordinary members in the Beasts Pirates. Kaido sent them there to manage the prostitutes' house and gather intelligence at the same time.

Babanuki also took a part of his staff to the submerged port, and guarded the entrance and exit of Wano Country with the people there. Since Orochi did not fully trust Kaido, he asked both parties to guard there together.

Kaido did not refuse him. It wouldn't take much effort to deal with those people anyway.

Then, just as planned, Orochi began to build weapons factories in Wano Country. He understood the principle of boiling a frog in warm water, so he did not take a tough stance at the beginning. He simply built factories in vacant locations in various villages.

With Kaido's military support, Orochi became bolder, but he overlooked some details. Although the people of the Beasts would solve some problems for him, before doing those things they would repeatedly emphasize that these were Orochi's orders and they were just following orders.

after a while.

Kaido's territory has been renamed Onigashima. A large number of craftsmen are working hard on the island without any dissatisfaction.

According to the rules of Wano Country, the general has the right to conscript labor, and these people were sent here by Orochi for this reason, but when they came to the Beast Kingdom, it became a job for wages.

As for where the salary comes from, Quinn is asking for salary from Kurozumi Orochi, and he is bringing his plague bomb with him, as if he will use force to demand salary if you don’t give him money.

Arceus is engaged in animal husbandry. They have acquired a piece of land in Kuri. Since Kozuki Oden is not there, Kuri has no nominal direct manager, which also allows Orochi to better intervene in the situation there.
