Arceus' Pirate Journey

"..."

The thinking of the Mink Tribe is usually different from that of ordinary people. With Drake in the lead, the elders of the Beast Tribe basically won't call him by his name. Moreover, Drake's way of joining was not a normal way, and for a long time he was called "So-and-so".

Later, some people on Jack's ship who were familiar with him began to call him Red Flag. During this period of time, Drake, who was always deprived of the right to use his name, gradually became numb to it.

But the name "that guy" still reminded him of some not-so-pleasant memories.

"Silence! The ceremony is not over yet."

Shayna smashed the scepter in her hand to the ground. Bepo and Garrot stood at attention reflexively. During the rehearsal, Shayna left them with a very strict impression.

The scepter in Shaina's hand rose into the air, and the scepter made of red chains turned back into the shape of chains, and split into three clones in all directions, which were held in the hands of Yuki, Emrido and Akonom respectively.

"Ability test, start now!"

The power of Yuki, Emrido, and Akonom flowed upwards along the red chain. In an instant, the familiar scene just now appeared around again. In the blink of an eye, the original venue seemed to have turned into a large lake.

"What a...shocking power."

Living in the New World, even a princess of a country has her own understanding of the cruelty of the world. Vansef knows how directly a powerful ability can improve one's strength.

After all, their country's warrior captain became the strongest in the kingdom because he had a devil fruit.

But compared with the transformation of this space, the expressiveness of the ability seems to be weaker.

Except for the large lake that appeared out of nowhere in front of them, everything seemed to be unchanged, but Vansef suddenly felt a vibration.

"Oh, oh, oh."

The pirates on Onigashima stomped their feet in unison, as if they were welcoming some kind of carnival. As they shouted, their footsteps became louder and louder, and finally even achieved the effect of a small earthquake.

Martial arts is still the root of all beasts. If one wants to be respected here, showing one's strength is the most direct way. Every batch of people who gain abilities must fight. This has become a routine among all beasts.

Chapter 1286: Surging hormones and other people’s actions

[Restraint...Restraint...Restraint...]

Hancock kept repeating these two words in his mind.

The words "respecting the elderly and loving the young" have never been associated with her. If it were in Nine Snakes, Hancock would have taken physical measures to remind Guroliosa long ago.

It turns out that Hancock has a lot of patience when the situation is special.

"What about grandma..."

After calling out again and again, Guroliosa finally came back to her senses. Listening to Hancock's extremely suppressed tone, she was not panicked but rather felt relieved. At least in this situation, Hancock behaved normally.

"Ahem, sorry, I'm a little distracted, what's the matter?"

Hancock was probably the only person present whose entire attention was focused on Olga instead of the center of the ceremony.

Guroliosa is different. She is worried about the future of the Nine Snakes. Ever since Kaido moved the island, the Nine Snakes have been completely tied to the beasts.

The Nine Snakes are not capable of surviving on their own, and only if all the beasts stand in front of them can they continue to live on the sea.

Arceus' power was undoubtedly a shot in the arm that made her feel more at ease.

"Look at this."

Hancock handed a folder to Guroliosa.

"When did you make this?"

"It's not mine. Sister Olga handed it to me earlier. It seems to be a small arrangement of the Beasts for the future."

"What arrangement?"

After taking the thick plan, a large letter Q on it stood out. After opening it, Guloliosa suddenly felt greasy.

"Fellowship..."

In the past years, the Nine Snakes have never been attached to any force. Even during the period of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they were in a state of only following orders and not instructions, and had extremely strong autonomy.

The Nine Snakes are all women, and they can do a lot of things on the Grand Line, but this one does not include giving birth to children. But even so, the Nine Snakes have never done such a thing in the past.

Some warriors who go out to sea will fall in love with men, and usually they will return to Nine Snake Island after becoming pregnant. Due to some strange magnetic field factors, humans born from the Nine Snakes will only be female, and in this way the reproduction of the Nine Snakes is maintained.

But this alone is obviously not enough, so some men will also become targets of the Nine Snakes, but they are just hunting targets, or reproductive tools, and will be killed when they are no longer useful.

However, it cannot be denied that the Nine Snakes are the force with the largest number of female pirates on the ocean. After all, there are only a few pirates who have married ordinary women in Wano Country. In most cases, these pirates are still suitable to be with people in the same circle.

Because of this, this plan was born. As for why Quinn is doing it...

It is a consensus among all animals to look for Quinn whether there is something or not. Coincidentally, Quinn is very interested in this kind of thing.

No matter what others think, Quinn thinks it is a perfect plan.

"Friendship..."

Guloliosa kept repeating these two words. Analyzing the future situation, there was no harm in doing this.

Unless a character who can punch Kaido appears in the Nine Snakes, the Nine Snakes will definitely maintain their current state, and this state may last for several generations.

There is more than one pirate group under the command of Hundred Beasts, and there are also some pirate groups that are stronger than Nine Snakes. These pirate groups joined earlier and wanted Nine Snakes to gain more benefits from the basic base of Hundred Beasts. The in-law relationship is also good.

By then, a large number of pirates will be Nine Snakes' sons-in-law, and Nine Snakes' safety will be better guaranteed.

What's more, after excluding those greasy parts, this plan also gives them enough respect.

The principle of pure voluntariness is enough. After all, given the structure of pirates, they have no way to stop powerful pirate groups from forcing their vassals to do something.

Quinn even added a bracket after this sentence, writing "Lord Arceus guarantees this sentence."

After this ceremony, the credibility of this statement has skyrocketed.

[In order to respect your traditions, this gathering will be held on an island southwest of the present-day Nine Snakes... Several Eternal Pointers will be included with the plan.]

"I don't have any objection, but I have a question. The crystal snake that opened up the underground water veins, the huge monsters on this island, and those strange creatures, are all the work of your Lord Arceus, right?"

"That's right. Lord Arceus' power shaped this island. All the people here... no, it should be said that the rebirth of this sea area all comes from Lord Arceus' power."

Olga, who was not far away, answered the question, and then waved to Elizabeth, asking it to show its original appearance as a basilisk lizard.

"Giving strength to humans, giving wisdom to beasts, and creating new life, this is where Lord Arceus is most powerful."

It is much easier to destroy a country than to create one. Ordinary people may be able to exterminate a species, but it is extremely difficult for them to create a species.

Arceus had already performed the Divine Grace ritual in public, so he naturally didn't care about such things, so Olga told him everything simply and clearly.

"This is truly an enviable power... I have only one request, the person you choose...can't be a jerk."

“That’s for sure, someone like that probably won’t be selected, and I guess we’ll have to fight among ourselves before we can decide who will participate.

But mother-in-law, you seem to be very confident. It is better for this kind of thing to be consensual. How many people do you think Jiushe will be able to participate?"

Chapter 1287 Prelude to War

On Ghost Island, in the banquet hall, the royal family is holding their own small banquet.

The cooking skills of the chef of Wano Country were finally recognized by foreigners, and his style just happened to fit the preferences of these royals.

Although the relations between some countries are not very good, they are under the protection of the same flag and have more opportunities to communicate with each other.

As a non-member country, the Banner of the Beasts has saved them from endless harassment from pirates and avoided the hunting activities of the Celestial Dragons. Even if a portion of the national tax revenue must be set aside, they are willing to do so.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the kings also tried to share what they had with each other. At the national level, only interests are eternal.

The ones who were most interested in this were Neptune and Otohime. The personnel composition and organizational structure of the Beast Kingdom resulted in this being a multi-racial country, and even the supreme commander himself was an "alien".

From the leaders to the ordinary cadres, there are too many races among the beasts that are not ordinary humans. In this situation, if you discriminate, the biggest possibility is that you will be pushed to the bottom.

Fishman Island has many specialties, and even they are unwilling to miss this opportunity, and are discussing some trade details with Otohime and Neptune.

Feeling the enthusiasm of so many kings for the first time, Otohime and Neptune were a little overwhelmed.

The ones who were most interested in this banquet were Setsuna and Zeraora. The situation in the Furry Principality was also very special. This country did not have a large number of specialties like the Kingdom of Ryugu that could be dumped abroad.

Even though Setsuna can now communicate with the Elephant Lord, the Furry Principality is still a pure importing country, relying heavily on imports for supplies, while Setsuna and Zeraora can get supplies directly from the Beasts.

Given the identities of the two men, the kings were somewhat hesitant to step forward.

"You two should be careful. You are the prince and princess here too. Don't lose your composure."

While watching the kings socializing, invisible wave power spread out from her body, making the two restless children calm down in advance.

There wasn't much to talk about in the banquet hall. Apart from foreign trade transactions, the rest of the topics were related to God.

"God... the god of the Lunaria tribe. Am I crazy, or is this world crazy?"

Atheism and theism are controversial issues, and anything that is incomprehensible can be attributed to God.

A lighter can pretend to be a god in front of primitive people, not to mention the countless users of devil fruit abilities in this sea and the crooked technology tree on Future Island.

But this time the God was a little too shocking.

The Lunarians, who were almost extinct outside, appeared again in groups. Ordinary ancient species turned into mythical beast species in front of them, and even fur-like people with swimming abilities were born.

This kind of thing has long shattered their inherent cognition. Not everyone can quickly accept the new worldview. In this case, they even begin to question the world.

"You're not crazy, and the world isn't crazy either. Whatever it is, it's the best thing for us."

"What did you say?"

"Will you show everything about your country to an outsider without reservation? Even if that person is your closest subordinate?"

"Won't..."

"That's right. Even if he's my own son, I have to be on guard against him. The Beasts have come this far, so they must understand such a simple truth. They showed me these things to show off their military strength, but it also means that they have a stronger force.

If I remember correctly, this god has the feat of destroying a country..."

The Regent of the Principality of Kares looked at the glass in front of him, admiring the wine flowing in the glass. Through the blood-red color, he seemed to see something very different.

"God... can also become stronger, right? I can't remember when the country was destroyed, but so much time has passed, He must have become stronger, right?

We are lucky to be born into the royal family and do not need to work every day like those common people.

But we are also unfortunate. The country we inherited is not strong enough and is not recognized by the world government.

In the eyes of the World Government, we are the same as pirates, or even worse than pirates. Pirates still have the power to resist, and we ordinary people are just two-legged sheep for their entertainment."

Then he drank the wine in the glass. The candlelight beside him danced in his eyes through the refraction of the glass, and his ambition seemed to be ignited as well.

"Today is our chance. This is not a banquet, but the prelude to war. As long as they can achieve the final victory, we will be the elders of the new order! This kind of change cannot be obtained even if we ask for it.

For the Celestial Dragons who call themselves gods and the Lunalia, a clan of gods, victory in this "War of Gods" will bring us unimaginable benefits!

With such a god, how could we lose? "

The Beasts made their fortune through war and love war. The countries that fly the flag of the Beasts know this very well. The regent of the Principality of Kares expressed his own thoughts, which are also the thoughts of many kings.

After all, not everyone is warlike. Some countries are even a little worried about this matter, such as King Rambosa of the Kingdom of Damont.

After all, the Kingdom of Damont relies on trade as its main economy, and its main product is still diamonds. The territory's ability to digest this thing is limited, and Ghost Island does not need this thing either.

Diancie itself is an endless diamond mine. As long as there is carbon in the air, she can continue to produce diamonds. On Ghost Island, diamonds have long been devalued to something like pebbles.

Chapter 1288: The Fall of Kobi

Moving forward a little in time, ever since some mysterious connections between Red Hair and Kaido were reported, the Navy's intelligence department has been trying to explore this information.

These are the sources of Beckman's irritability. He has dealt with too many troubles during this period of time. He has eliminated wave after wave of people who tried to sneak into the Red Hair Pirates' hinterland.

After all, it's a matter between Red Hair and Kaido. There's no reason to only investigate Kaido. Relatively speaking, Red Hair's place is easier to investigate. At least there are no countless cameras near Elbaf.

Even the big thieves were not spared. Since they have some connection with the Beasts, they may be able to provide some clues.

CP0, the Navy's intelligence unit, they are all trying their best to explore the truth, and the SRD team is also indispensable.

Although he couldn't enter Wano Country, the passenger flow between the islands outside the Beast Kingdom was very large. The exchanges between merchant ships and passenger ships would bring a large number of mobile population. Coby took advantage of this opportunity to sneak in here.

Originally, he wanted to follow the craftsmen who came out of Wano Country and try to see if he could sneak into Wano Country and obtain more information, or cooperate with others to do something, but his "perfect disguise" was discovered.

"Lord Holdem, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the repairs here?"

With so many people there must be someone in charge, and now the details of the island are managed by Holdem, but Holdem has been keeping an eye on a construction site for a long time, and the craftsmen in charge there thought they had done something wrong.

"I don't understand the technical issues. Hong Kong friends have the final say on this. He is your chief engineer. But look at that pink-haired guy. Does he look familiar to you?"

"this..."

"Forget it. You don't go out that often, so it's reasonable that I can't recognize you. What about you?"
