Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Why are you still using this old currency? Didn't you exchange it for new money?"

"Well... Grandma, how about you be flexible? If it's really not possible, we can help you herd the cattle for half a day."

"Forget it, forget it. Since you helped me stop the bull, I'll give you this ticket. Just fill in your name. The information is not complete recently, so it can't be found above. But remember, it can only be used for a maximum of five days."

In fact, when a newcomer arrives in Wano Country, he will be entered into the system within five minutes at most. In order to satisfy Kaido's bad taste, Quinn opened a special channel.

After Von Clay and Sanji talked for a long time, Naqin "reluctantly" got them a ticket.

About an hour later, Von Clay followed the disbanded people back into the crowd. He proved that his ID was valid, but the lack of money became a problem.

While Sanji and Von Clay were still struggling over money, Luffy, who had just arrived, took out a coin.

"Is this enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough. There's still some left for each of you."

"Then give me a few more, so I don't have to worry about losing them."

"Okay, no problem, old man, get to work!"

Naqin was not interested in where his money came from. It was enough for her to complete the task. After successfully helping them to make fake certificates, the two of them retreated smoothly.

"Athie, I regret it a little bit."

"what happened?"

"I bet that the man named Feng Clay would be exposed first, but now I think he should be able to hide for a long time. It looks like I'm going to lose the bet. Who did you bet on?"

"That long nose of Usopp, just pressed casually, I don't think it makes any difference, but they just came to Wano Country, where did they get the gold coins issued by Lord Arceus?"

The currency replacement of Wano Country has been completed. In addition to the paper money made by Diancie, there are coins issued by the Saifuga. According to the different currency values, Wano Country has retained the past names, but added a currency after gold and silver.

What Luffy just took out was a gold coin, which made Ashie feel a little unreasonable.

"Who cares? Our job is just to issue the certificates. Other things have nothing to do with us."

"Too..."

......

The two men led the herd of cattle away, but Luo and the others had the same question.

"Didn't I tell you not to cause a riot? Where did you get this money?"

"Ah? I stole it from another pirate. I thought the coin was pretty, so I kept it. Then I saw the coin in that grandma's hand and thought it looked very similar, so I took it out."

In addition to circulating within the territory of the Beasts, this currency is also used as bargaining chips on Tezoro's ship. It also circulates in the underground world, so it is not surprising to see it from the outside world.

After resolving this conflict, the group went their separate ways and continued with their original plan, but accidents would never stay away from them.

Usopp wanted to find an opportunity to do some small business, and Von Clay planned to try street performing, but when he turned around, Zoro was gone.

"Xiao Feng, have you seen Zoro?"

"No, isn't he following you?"

"Oh no, this guy... is lost again... I don't know where he will get lost..."

The two looked at each other and had a bad feeling at the same time, but in such a large country like Wano, they didn't know where to find Zoro. They could only search for Zoro's trace while making money according to the original plan.

After a while, the galloping Zoro stopped.

"Damn it, where did Usopp and Von Clay go? I told them not to run around, but they still got lost."

Taking a deep breath, Zoro recalled the map in his mind.

"Those two guys are really unreliable. What's on this map? They made me go the wrong way..."

When Zoro realized that Von Clay and Usopp were gone, he began to speed up his search for them, but the more he hurried, the further he strayed.

"Why don't you make some money first? What can you do with it..."

Zoro is also a person who likes to go with the flow, otherwise he wouldn't have become a bounty hunter because he couldn't find the way back to Shimotsuki Village.

Just at this moment, he heard the sound of weapons clashing and even smelled a familiar scent. When he followed the sound of the weapons clashing, he happened to see two... ducks dueling.

Chapter 1321: Failed Three Swords Style, Accidents Everywhere

"The descendants of Shimotsuki who left Wano Country back then have been recruited back? This is really a coincidence."

It was an official fake certificate, and Binggoro couldn't see any problem with it.

Although Wano Country was guarding very strictly, but with Arceus's divine grace ceremony, Wano Country's defense was not as excessive as in the past, and it soon launched a new round of talent introduction.

Quinn had a little opinion, but had no intention of raising it. It was precisely because of this talent introduction that the locals would not be surprised by the appearance of unfamiliar outsiders.

Twenty years ago, people who came to Wano Country had a sense of arrogance towards the locals because this place was relatively backward, and except for a few unique crafts, life was even a little primitive.

Twenty years later, the locals of Wano Country have developed a sense of superiority. They no longer marvel at things from the outside world. Instead, outsiders marvel at the biota here.

From the sky to the bottom of the sea, Wano Country presents a three-dimensional level of life. The existence of Pokémon has completely changed the ecology here. The first step for newcomers here is usually sightseeing.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I have no intention of taking your knife. Since he gave it to you, he must have his reasons."

Seeing that Zoro looked a little impatient, Hyogoro thought he had misunderstood something, so after a quick look at the blade, he returned the Wado Ichimonji to him.

"There are quite a few scars. They are from when you didn't know how to use Ryuo...oh, you call it Haki. They were left when you didn't know how to use Haki, right? The swordsmith's level is a bit low, but it's passable."

The Wado Ichimonji also had scars left by Zoro's violent sword swing. Although it has been repaired, Hyogoro can still see the difference.

Judging from Zoro's current level, he doesn't seem like someone who doesn't know how to use Haki, and at the very least he wouldn't use it like this.

"Um... who is this Shimotsuki Kozaburo you're talking about?"

"do not you know?"

"I only know an old man. This knife once belonged to him, but he never mentioned the name."

"That should be it. I won't mistake the knife. It seems that they even hid their names after they left."

Binggoro sighed a little, as this happened a long time ago for him.

"It seems like you don't know anything. Since you immigrated here, you should know that Wano Country was closed to the outside world for a long time, about fifty years ago.

Kozaburo and his group left the country illegally and have not been seen since. Now it seems that he should have descendants.

He was a famous swordsmith in Wano Country. He made the Wado Ichimonji and Enma, one of the general's swords, with his own hands. This is also fate."

At that time, Shimotsuki Kosaburo and 24 of his tribesmen violated the ban of Wano Country, left Wano Country and went to live in the open sea, including Shimotsuki Ushimaru's sister, Shimotsuki Fubuki.

After arriving in the East China Sea, they fought with bandits who attacked a village in the East China Sea and won easily. Then the 10 people settled there, established Shimotsuki Village, and reproduced. Zoro was one of them.

However, they rarely mentioned their surnames, and over time, Sauron also ignored this aspect.

"That old man who fishes...is he that capable?"

Kozaburo had died long ago, but everything that happened now made Zoro understand something. On the border of the East China Sea there is a famous sword of Wano Country, and the name of the village is Shimotsuki.

"The wisdom of giving up name..."

"Did he ever say that to you? Those are the words of a warrior who throws everything away and strikes with all his might. They are not spoken casually. I'm afraid he also considers you his apprentice."

"He didn't teach me much, but I remember him saying... Swords are kitchen knives that kill people. They were created to kill enemies. The purpose of a swordsmith's sword-forging is to allow people to take more lives..."

"That's exactly what he said. If there's no problem, you can join us. The job is not complicated. You will be responsible for sparring with these green onion soldiers. If any green onion soldier can train a black onion in the process, I will give you a bonus."

Zoro got his job in a daze and seemed to have settled down temporarily, but he still had a problem.

"What is black onion?"

He did remember that one of the onion soldiers was holding a black onion leaf in his hand, but Zoro simply thought it was for dyeing. He never thought that thing was forged with domineering power.

"After thousands of tempers from the swordsman, the domineering..."

"Haki will be integrated into the blade. All swords have the potential to become black swords, but they are swords."

"The same goes for green onions. This kind of green onion is not an ordinary green onion. By the way, you also need this for sparring. If you don't have it, go to the warehouse and get some."

"Are you still selling these onions outside?"

"There is indeed a loyal customer. Could it be you?"

Since there are too many Onion Soldiers active here at Binggoro's place, Binggoro is also familiar with some things about the Onion Soldiers, including the sales of green onions. Ordinary people shop at Tezoro's shopping malls or merchant ships at sea, and there are relatively few people like Hawkeye.

"It's not me, it's just an acquaintance of mine..."

"I see. Anyway, let's come and see your workplace. Don't worry, it won't be complicated. At most, it will be a little tiring."

Under the leadership of Hyogoro, Zoro quickly arrived at the dojo here. In addition to the Onion-Snitch, there were also a large number of Galar Farfetch'd waiting for him.

"Your job is to fight them until dark. I'll remind you, it's not all fair 1v1."

"I understand, just leave it to me."

Chapter 1322: Bad News and Worse News

"You guy!"

"What did we tell you before?"

Law and Sanji appeared on both sides of Luffy, one on the left and one on the right, and put their fists on his head, with domineering aura even wrapped around their protruding knuckles, and then they got up.

"It hurts, it hurts, but look, there are so many!"

It's not just that there are many of them, it should be said that the Heracrosses are participating in a sumo match. At this time, two Heracrosses are trying to push their fellow species on the opposite side out of the circle.

Nowadays, the bad boys in Wano Country have an admiration for Frog and like its personality. In contrast, the little kids prefer Miltank or Heracross.

Especially Heracross is the dream of the boys here. If they can get the recognition of a Heracross and win the annual Insect King Competition, it means that they can briefly reach the peak of their childhood.

There are many similar competitions, including but not limited to the Swallowtail Hunting Beauty Contest, the Bad Frog Brick-Splitting Contest, and the Big Milk Can Dairy Product Food Contest, all of which are models for promoting domestic economic consumption.

However, it is not easy to participate in the competition. It takes a long time to form a partnership with a Pokémon.

Hercules is not a small beetle after the rain that can be caught with a net. Sometimes they work hard for a week and stay in the mountains and forests all the time, but they may not be favored by Hercules.

A situation like Luffy's where he happened to meet a foodie is completely an isolated case and cannot be replicated at all.

Besides, not all Pokémon can be self-reliant, and not all of them have a "career position" awarded by Arceus. If you want to be the "Sea King" in Pokémon, you have to consider your financial strength.

Usually a family will only form relationships with Pokémon within their ability range.

"I don't know where Heke has gone. If I drag him to participate in the competition, first place will definitely be mine. I really want that food ticket. It looks delicious."

[Champion reward: a national gourmet food voucher (family pack, valid for three days) and 10 gold coins]

"Okay, stop watching. What does this kind of competition have to do with you? You are over the age to participate."

"Look! There are so many Helos here. Sure enough, their population is widely distributed."

During the voyage, the Straw Hat Pirates had seen quite a few Heracrosses, and Luffy didn't find it strange to see them in Wano Country, but Luffy's request was not agreed by Sanji and the others.

Law and Sanji dragged Luffy aside, then got a headache.

"I made a mistake. I shouldn't have brought the Straw Hat Master with me. I couldn't have brought him with me if I went to the hospital to apply for a job. He would definitely mess up the hospital."

"Same here. We can't bring him into the kitchen. Last time he ate all the food in the kitchen. Even the locked refrigerator couldn't stop him. If he lets him into the kitchen, he will definitely be exposed."

Luffy entering the kitchen is like sending a tiger into the flock of sheep. Whichever cafeteria accepts him will probably have no food to eat. However, at this time, they discovered a special figure.

Sanji and Law were still unsure, but Luffy recognized him immediately.

"Huh? So you are here, you must be here for free food and drinks!"

Not far away, a Hercules walked by silently, with a bag like an IV hanging on the horn of its head, but it contained mixed tree juice, which now flowed into the Hercules' mouth through a special straw.

In his right hand he held a bag of honey and in his left hand he held a stick of honey.

According to the current tradition of Wano Country, whenever an event related to a certain Pokémon is held, that type of Pokémon can enjoy everything in the venue for free.

To some extent, Luffy was not wrong. Hero was just eating and drinking for free.

At this time, it has entered a state of playing badly. Anyway, Luffy's fate is doomed, so why should it do useless work? However, while others are busy, Hero is not doing nothing.

At least it met Geodude who was on vacation and had a friendly exchange with him, so it could be considered as trying to please the jailer in advance.

Then we came here to enjoy life. Life on the boat was good, but how could it compare to here?

Because the event will also attract some independent wild Heracross, people in Wano Country will seize this opportunity to see if they can get the favor of a certain Heracross.

In this case, the flavors were perfect for Heracross' needs.

"Hello?"
