Arceus' Pirate Journey

"That's right, I just don't accept it, you're just taking advantage of me! Inuarashi, let me go and let me fight her again."

"You stupid cat, can't you see that this isn't a few years ago? You can't beat her now!"

"You actually helped that violent wolf to talk about me? Don't forget where this place is. Shouldn't you help me?"

Setsuna looked at Inuarashi and Nekomaru in front of her. If she wasn't familiar with them, she would have thought they were acting. After all, they were about to start a quarrel.

"Cat Viper, you said I took advantage of someone's misfortune, didn't you?"

"Meow... Otherwise, those weird bulls took up too much of our energy, and we haven't brought any weapons, otherwise you wouldn't be my opponent."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. Tomorrow night, we'll have another fight on that beach during the day. You can do it alone, or you can go with Inuarashi, or you can call a few more people, like those friends you call on.

If you still lose to me by then, you must honestly admit your mistake and apologize to me! You are not allowed to come to our place to cause trouble again! And you must compensate for today's losses!"

The degree of Cat Viper's stubbornness was beyond her imagination, and the Mink Tribe itself had the thinking of a beast. At this time, the only option was physical persuasion. Whoever won was right.

"Then what if you lose?"

"What do you want?"

"Continue to supply fresh food to Oden Castle."

"Okay, but now please go away, I don't want to see you again."

In the end, the matter was temporarily ended with Cat Viper being beaten up. With her, the two of them were able to leave Taoyuan Farm intact, while Setsuna was counting the things that were destroyed in the farm.

Someone has to be responsible for these things. She let them both go, so she has to be responsible for it herself. This is the rule within the Beasts Pirates, and it applies to everyone.

So for the time being she had to pay for these property losses out of her own pocket.

[Although I beat Cat Viper, I still don't feel relieved. If I can't defeat him tomorrow, I will take his last name from now on...] She took out her diary and wrote two more sentences on it.

But when she went back, she saw Zeraora sitting at the door waiting for her.

“They said you let him go.”

The pirates couldn't just ignore Setsuna's behavior, so they notified Zeraora, after all, he was the person in charge here.

"I'm sorry, those two people were my former friends, so please forgive them this time... I will be responsible for the damage caused."

She still hid some things from Zeraora. Most of the rules were made by Arceus and Athea. Because of Arceus's involvement, Shayna and Zeraora regarded them as iron laws.

They can't just ignore it without a good reason.

"But someone said you had a fight."

"That guy is quite annoying, but he's still a good person. Please, Zeraora, Kaluqiu~" The method she used in recent years - acting coquettishly, usually has a significant effect.

"....Just this once."

To put it bluntly, these two people were just petty thefts, which were different from Kin'emon's breaking into the Udon Mine. They could be said to be minor or major, and considering Setsuna's plea, Zeraora did not pursue the matter.

"Thank you, Zeraora, you're the best."

"Go back to bed, don't you see what time it is?"

......

On the other side, Inuarashi supported Cat Viper and returned to Oden Castle.

"Inuarashi, you don't even want to help me!"

"You're going too far. You've been targeting Setsuna since you came back. Don't you think there's something wrong with you?"

"Have you forgotten what Kin'emon has become? Who made her join that Hundred Beasts thing?"

"That wasn't Setsuna's doing, and she had good intentions in trying to give us something, but you messed it up!"

The two of them quarreled a few times along the way, and in the end, neither of them could convince the other, and they finally quietly returned to the house. They had not held back in those first few punches, and the scars left by the big milk tank were very obvious.

They didn't want to be discovered by others so as not to make them worry, so Cat Viper's attitude and patience towards these fellow retainers were much better than before.

"Inuarashi, what are we going to do tomorrow?"

"What should we do? Go and fight. It's you who caused it anyway." Seeing Cat Viper mentioned this, Inuarashi didn't want to pay attention to him. In his opinion, if it weren't for Cat Viper's mouth, things would not be so complicated.

"No....what I mean is, I may really not be able to beat that girl. She has become so strong in the past few years." He did not continue to be stubborn in front of Inuarashi.

"Then just admit your mistake. It was wrong for you to target her. She is her, and the beasts are the beasts."

"That's not what I'm talking about! Think about Toki-sama and Momonosuke-sama, Hiyori-sama. If we win, we can get fresh food."

"You want..." Inuarashi seemed to understand what Cat Viper meant, but he felt a little ashamed. Facing a girl two years younger than him, he would not have anything to be proud of even if they won.

It would even be embarrassing if this were reported back to Zuo Wu, but Cat Viper's reason was very realistic. This was the best way for them to get fresh food.

Although Denjiro is working hard to make money, he can only barely fill some holes, and the patches on their clothes are the most direct proof of this.

"She was the one who said we could go together. This is all for the sake of the Kozuki family. We can afford to lose some face for now."

"Let me think about it..."

Cat Viper didn't say anything else. According to his understanding of Inuarashi, since he didn't directly refuse, it meant he had already agreed. In his opinion, they might not be able to defeat Setsuna alone, but there would be no problem with two of them.

But he missed one thing, because tomorrow night is the full moon of this month...

Chapter 181: The Moment of Battle

The next day, Cat Viper disappeared and did not show up at all. Because of the beating, his face was severely injured, and he would definitely be discovered if he went out.

So he left Oden Castle at dawn, but Inuarashi stayed in Oden Castle until night fell, when he took his and Cat Viper's swords and quietly left again.

At the same time, Setsuna tiptoed and pushed open the door, then revealed his two wolf ears and began to eavesdrop on the sounds from the next room.

There was no sound of the generator running or the sound of electricity. It seemed that Zeraora had rested. She then tiptoed out of the room, and after walking some distance away, she ran towards Jiuli Beach.

A few big milk cans were awakened along the way, but after seeing that they were their own people, they fell back to sleep.

However, she did not notice that Zeraora had been following her not far behind. He had long felt that something was wrong. It seemed like Setsuna had something he didn't say yesterday, and he went back to the room to sleep early today. This was completely against common sense.

So he didn't do any physical training today and kept an eye on Setsuna's condition.

Zeraora is a very special Electric-type Pokémon that does not have an electrical organ.

But there is gain in loss. Although he gave up his power-generating organs, he can create a magnetic field through his own electric current.

This range is his domain. Within the domain, he can flexibly control electromagnetic force. After more training, combined with the observation Haki, he can reach the level of observation Haki of Eneel.

Although I am not that proficient yet, I can still locate more precisely.

However, this behavior is somewhat intrusive, so he would not do this normally. He only made this choice after noticing some special circumstances.

......

On the beach of Kuri, Cat Viper and Inuarashi arrived here earlier than Setsuna. Due to the closed-door policy of Wano Country, the citizens spend most of their time in the canals on the island, and few people enter the inland sea.

Fishing in the inland sea of ​​Wano Country requires a fishing license, and most of the people who are eligible are relatives of the daimyo.

During the day, you can still see some people picking up fish on the coast, or some people fishing in the sea, but at night, the beach here is very quiet. Inuarashi and Cat Viper are waiting in such an environment, each holding a knife.

"She's not kidding us."

"No, she's not that kind of person." As he spoke, Setsuna's figure ran out from the woods beside him, and Zeraora, who was following behind her, also saw them.

However, he did not show up. Instead, he found a tree and lay down on it. He also took out a few Pofen from his clothes pocket. Pofen are pastries made from tree fruits, most of which are specially for Pokémon.

The specific craftsmanship was not created by the Beasts Pirates, but was produced by the BIG·MOM Pirates based on the ideas provided by the Beasts. When it comes to dessert chefs, no other pirate group can compare to the BIG·MOM Pirates.

Although some types of Poffin are edible by humans, most Poffin taste very strange, and only Pokémon's taste buds can get used to it.

And every Pokémon has different preferences. These are Zeraora's snacks, similar to popcorn at the movies. He wants to see what Setsuna is going to do.

On the beach, looking at the knives in their hands, Setsuna looked unhappy.

"Inuarashi, you are just like Nekomamushi. It seems that you two are of the same character."

Although she said that, she thought that only Cat Viper would participate, but she didn't expect Inuarashi to actually get involved as well.

"I'm sorry, but I have reasons why I have to do this."

"It's up to you. Is there anyone else? Just call them out together." This situation was within her expectations, otherwise she would not have chosen today specifically.

Whether it was Setsuna, Inuarashi, or Cat Viper, they all had one thing in common: no one looked up at the sky, because a full moon was floating in the sky.

A few years ago, she mastered the power of the Moon Lion with the help of Arceus, and that power is the greatest confidence of the Fur Tribe.

As for Inuarashi and Cat Viper, although they are both from the Mink Tribe, Setsuna can be sure of one thing, that they were not yet Moon Lions when they left Zou.

The learning process for Moon Lions is very dangerous. Without other adult Fur Tribe members, ordinary young Fur Tribe members will definitely not be able to learn on their own.

With Moon Leo, even if there are others behind them, Setsuna doesn't think he can't deal with it.

"There's no one else, and this matter won't involve more people, but you still remember what you said."

"You don't need to worry about that. If you beat me, I will buy you what you need even if I have to pay out of my own pocket. But you, a stinky cat, better think of how to apologize and admit defeat."

"Stop bragging, meow...I don't know what you've been through over the years, but we have learned a lot from Lord Oden!" As he said that, Cat Viper drew out his sword, but Inuarashi did not do so.

If Cat Viper can solve the problem by himself, then it would be best for him not to interfere. Although Cat Viper had some doubts before, he had to give it a try.

"Where's your weapon?"

"Mine? There's no need for that. Bows and arrows are not appropriate at this time. You use your knife, and my claws are enough." As he spoke, a domineering aura wrapped around his hands, and electricity began to flash in his fur.

Although she is not very proficient in Haki, as one of Kaido's trainees, she has mastered the basic usage over the years.

"Domineering... Then I won't be polite either."

After all, he had sailed the seas with two legendary pirates, so it was impossible for him to be completely ignorant.

"Don't make me sound too polite. I don't know why, but now I get so angry when I see you. You'd better be more resistant today!"

As she said this, she launched the attack first. Originally, she thought her anger had subsided, but there is a saying that goes "The more you endure, the angrier you get." Last night, she always felt that she had gone too easy on herself.

In the eyes of the cat viper, Shanna turned into a white shadow. When he saw the other party's figure again, Shanna had already swung his claws towards him.

Although he raised his knife to block, Setsuna's claws did not hesitate at all. He used his domineering power as a defense and directly grabbed the blade of the cat viper. An electric current also passed along the blade to his hand.

The lightning of the Fur Tribe is static electricity generated by the friction between their own fur. They have a certain resistance to electric current. The current transmitted to the blade only makes his palm feel a little numb, but it is not enough to make him unable to hold his knife.

At this time, his other hand also flashed with electricity, and hit Setsuna's waist...

Chapter 182 Stupid Cat, Today is a Full Moon

Compared to Setsuna, Inuarashi and Cat Viper have an advantage in size. Male Fur-Minds are generally taller and stronger than female Fur-Minds.

Although Cat Viper was beaten unilaterally yesterday, if he had not been severely beaten by a group of Miltanks first, he would not have been so helpless that he could still fight back when facing the attack.

Happiness is like an invisible armor. With the protection of Happiness, she used the opponent's blade as a horizontal bar, rolled over to avoid Cat Viper's fist, and then kicked Cat Viper's neck with inertia.

Cat Viper has an advantage in size, while Setsuna is more flexible. During this process, Cat Viper tried to launch a new attack, which made Setsuna give up the attack, but his attack failed to hit Setsuna, and instead Setsuna closed the distance with him.

The blade gives him a longer attack range, but when the opponent enters his inner circle, the speed of adjusting the blade is not as fast as the speed of punching.

Cat Viper's attacks missed one after another, but Setsuna's attacks hit him actually. As Cat Viper's abdomen was hit by Setsuna's elbow, his face turned ugly.

Although he looks like a cystic body, he is not stupid. He is a relatively agile player, but his agility is far inferior to that of Setsuna.

Unable to find the opponent, Cat Viper became more and more anxious. After his attack failed again, he grabbed his neck with his legs.

She wanted to take advantage of the situation to deal with the cat viper, but Setsuna found that she had made a mistake. The cat viper's neck was too thick and too short, so her attack had no effect. Instead, the cat viper grabbed her calf.

"Finally I caught you... You're really hard to deal with..." His voice sounded a little strange. He didn't hold back in his attack just now. If it weren't for his inherent body structure that made his neck relatively short, that one blow would have been enough to take him down directly.

If he could handle the opponent by himself, Cat Viper didn't want Inuarashi to intervene. After all, two against one was not very glorious, so he grabbed Setsuna's leg and threw him into the air.

"You have nowhere to hide now, so admit defeat!"

He sheathed his sword and assumed the Iai stance. A person cannot adjust his stance in mid-air, so when the moment of falling, he could find a way to defeat the enemy with one blow.

So in his opinion, Setsuna had already lost, and he even felt proud inside.

But Inuarashi on the side issued a warning.

"You stupid cat! Watch out up there!"

Covering his forehead with one hand, Cat Viper looked upwards, but it was too late.

At this moment, not only did the Shanshan not fall down as he had imagined, but it floated directly in the air. After stabilizing its body, it launched an attack again.

Just when she was about to kick Cat Viper on the head, Inuarashi's attack blocked her. If Inuarashi had not taken action, the careless Cat Viper might have lost its ability to fight directly.

"You still can't help yourself."
