Arceus’ Pirate Journey
Page 70
She came here to get the monitoring records of Ammonite. If there was no urgent news, the normal messages would be accumulated over a day or two before being brought over.
Sha Yinna didn’t know where the thing was, but Quinn ignored her when she spoke normally, so she had to use a more traditional method.
It turns out that pain attracts more attention than sound.
“Can’t you be a little gentler, woman?”
“Huh? I was talking to you nicely but you ignored me. Can you blame me now? What are you daydreaming about?”
“Look at this.”
Quinn handed his bounty order to Sha Yinna, but Sha Yinna didn’t think there was anything special about it.
“What’s so good about your face? Can’t you see enough in the mirror?”
“That’s not the point. The point is here. Only alive, what on earth did I do? Why does this bounty change every few days? What on earth are those people in the World Government thinking?”
Last time, he was cultivating the fruits honestly, but his bounty suddenly became 444.4 million, making him the cadre with the highest bounty after Kaido and Arceus.
He still didn’t do anything this time, and he even left Wano Country only once, but the reward order changed again. Although the price didn’t increase, this only alive is much more serious than the price increase.
This is also a new consideration of the World Government. Although the analysis department believes that its analysis cannot be wrong, the current situation is very strange. If it really miscalculates Quinn’s technical level, it will be a great loss to the World Government.
Changing the bounty order only requires a few words and doesn’t take much effort, so Quinn happily received the new bounty.
However, the World Government’s investigation into the Beasts Pirates did not stop because there were too many unknowns about them, so investigating the Beasts Pirates became the exclusive mission of the CP0 team.
Because they have the most contact with all kinds of beasts, and are relatively more familiar with them…
Chapter 171: Pokémon that integrate into the lives of residents
Quinn’s confusion did not hinder the progress of the times. The development of Wano Country continued. The transformation of the Rabbit Bowl region was basically completed, the number of factories had reached saturation, and this output also met the needs of the Beasts Pirates.
As for the external world, Hundred Beasts Fruit has become a food giant in the underground world of the New World, providing fruits, dairy products, meat products, and some special medicines.
These monopoly products ensured the position of Baishou Fruit and established its reputation in the industry.
After building up a good reputation, Baishou began to expand its market, and some common crops also became their trading items.
Compared to products targeting the high-end market, these commodities also bring high profits, but the profit is based on quantity. The behavior of Baishou has also led to a major reshuffle in the underground world of the New World.
Many winter islands or islands in desert environments cannot produce enough food to meet demand and have to rely on foreign trade to obtain the food, and Hundred Beasts Fruit has monopolized most of the business.
As for the original black market merchants, they have been gradually eliminated in the competition. Through research on tree fruits and some plants, Quinn and Naqin have created new high-yield crops.
Moreover, both Umit’s transportation industry and Kibotham’s warehousing industry have to give face to Kaido and Charlotte Linling. The reason for Charlotte Linling is that the bigger Kaido’s business is, the more fruits she can purchase.
Her taste has been developed, and ordinary fruits can no longer satisfy her needs, so she also supports Kaido’s development in this regard.
In this environment, their normal means of competition are simply not enough to compete with the beasts. As for abnormal means, Kaido hopes they will use more of them. After all, there are not enough people mining.
In Wano Country, with the support of the beasts, Kojiro’s Chamber of Commerce has risen again, and began to absorb local people to join it, allowing the residents of Wano Country to gradually get accustomed to the existence of the beasts.
In addition, many people began to accept the new things brought by Baishou, but this group of people did not come from Baiwu or Tuwan, but first appeared in Jiuli.
Under the rule of Kozuki Oden, the farmers of Taoyuan Farm were the first to accept the existence of the Beasts Pirates.
Thanks to Kin’emon’s operation, they rented out Taoyuan Farm. The ones most affected were actually the farmers living on Taoyuan Farm, because that was the way to support their families in Hukou.
In Kin’emon and his group’s previous propaganda, the Beasts Pirates had evil intentions and the scenes they saw were all fake.
The strange cows that are raised are also very scary creatures. After all, how can a normal cow have three tails or walk on two legs? They are ghost cows that will bring misfortune.
Most of the local residents of Wano Country are very ignorant. Under such circumstances, they developed a resistance to the Beasts Pirates, and other regions were also affected.
Unfortunately, after ceding Taoyuan Farm, they did not find a way to resettle the original farmers, so they had to face the management of the Beasts Pirates.
But after some contact, they found that the truth was not as horrible as Kin’emon and the others said.
What Beasts developed in Wano Country was mixed farming, and although the Kuri region had more agriculture, there was also animal husbandry, and after Taoyuan Farm was acquired, a batch of large milk tanks were sent here.
The taste of their milk will change depending on the food they eat. They are sent here to feed on tree fruits to improve the taste.
In order to sell the milk further, in addition to the weapons factory in the Tuwan area, dairy factories and fruit factories were established in Jiuli and Baiwu.
Reasonable industrialization will not damage the environment but will improve the national economic situation.
Industrial wastewater also becomes feed for Alola’s slimes, and the toxic crystals they produce become Quinn’s weapon materials, forming a virtuous circle as a whole.
Every time the Beasts Pirates expropriated land to build a factory, Kurozumi Orochi would be happy for a short while, but after that, he would no longer be happy about their operations.
In his opinion, all he had to do was use knives and guns to force those people to work, but Baishou actually wanted to pay them, but he didn’t have to pay for it.
Because the profits earned by these new factories had nothing to do with him, he could only get part of the profits from the weapons factory. Similarly, he paid the wages of those craftsmen.
However, no matter who paid the money, he was unable to fully achieve his goal of persecuting Wano Country, which made him very dissatisfied, but he did not dare to vent his anger and could only do evil in his own Flower Capital.
Kaido did not interfere with him. The civilians who were persecuted by him and went bankrupt and moved out of the Flower Capital were the priority targets for recruitment by Kojiro’s Chamber of Commerce and the Beast Factory.
In Jiuli, a peaceful day begins again. Before the sun rises, the farmers on the farm have to get up and prepare to work, and the same goes for the children.
Going to school is the right of the descendants of samurai and nobles, but the children of ordinary farmers like them have no school to go to.
Their latest job is very simple, helping the big milk tank to milk.
“Kentaro, be careful not to fall. Just squeeze the milk and leave it there for someone to move it!”
Although it was not her first time working, she still gave her young son some advice.
“I know mom, don’t worry about me.”
The big milk tanks have a very gentle personality and are very easy to get along with as long as you can accept their appearance.
However, these big milkers don’t like machines. Using machines will affect their mood and thus reduce the quality of milk. Therefore, farmers here rely on manual milking every day.
There are dozens of large milk tanks scattered around the farm, with no fences or chains, just free-range. It is impossible for Kentaro to complete all the work alone.
He is only responsible for a part of the big milk tanks. Those big milk tanks that are familiar with him will wait for him at a fixed location.
On the way here, there were many children about his age. Almost all the people who came here to milk were these children, because the big milk cans would cooperate with them very well, so there was no need for strong labor.
The strong laborers are responsible for tasks such as farming, weeding and watering.
Moreover, Miltank’s intelligence was not much worse than those kids. They even became friends with him. After being afraid at first, they found that these strange cows were completely different from what those people said.
The members of the Beasts Pirates would bring the prepared bottles every morning, and all they had to do was store the milk and wait for it to be collected in the evening.
After milking, the big milking cans not only look for food, but also play with the children, with smiles on the children’s faces.
This is just a microcosm. In Wano Country, the existence of Pokémon has gradually become a part of the lives of some residents…
Chapter 172 Cats, Dogs and Wolves
Time quietly came to the middle and late 1496, and Arceus had not found a new stone slab yet.
The World Government has also failed to establish a stable relationship with the Beasts Pirates and is still purchasing seastone products from the black market.
CP0 and the Beasts Pirates have held two negotiations, but each time they were led by the other party, so much so that they suspected that someone inside Marijoa was deliberately leaking information to interfere with their plans.
This eventually sparked a factional struggle. The officials of the World Government already had their own sides, and it was very common for them to hinder others in such transactions.
In the “inadvertent” revelation of the Beasts, they also believed this problem, and an invisible political struggle took place on the Red Earth Continent.
Through the World News, the Beasts Pirates of Wano Country have some understanding of major events in the outside world. The most arrogant newcomer this year is a man named Crocodile.
His battle with Barrett and Whitebeard was put on the front page of Morgans’ news, but after his defeat in the challenge to Whitebeard, he disappeared from then on, and the New World lost track of this person for a while.
On Fishman Island, Neptune ascended the throne and became the king of the Ryugu Kingdom. In Dressrosa, Cyrus won an unprecedented 1000 consecutive victories and became the captain of the kingdom’s army at the invitation of King Riku.
Meanwhile, off the coast of Wano Country, the Golden Jackson was already approaching.
Some time ago, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates met. Gol D. Roger learned that Kozuki Oden could translate historical texts. In order to find the final destination, at his request, Kozuki Oden was borrowed by him.
At the same time as he boarded the ship, his retainers Inuarashi and Cat Viper also secretly smuggled onto Roger’s ship and sailed with them on the Golden Jackson.
Earlier, his daughter Hiyori Kozuki was also born on the ship.
The reason they came to Wano Country was for a piece of historical text. There was a red piece of historical text hidden in Wano Country, which was a must-have item to go to Raftel.
And his wife Toki had a high fever for unknown reasons, so he decided to leave her in Wano Country.
Instead of going through the submarine port, the Roger Pirates, led by Kozuki Oden, entered Wano Country from the waterfall. Today, under the control of Arceus, Wano Country has not become a country full of factories, and the scene of black smoke rising everywhere does not exist.
Kozuki Oden only noticed some changes, but did not suspect anything. It was normal to have some changes after being away for so many years.
Moreover, Roger didn’t have much time left, and he didn’t have time to stay here for too long. As the heir of the Kozuki family, he certainly knew that the red historical text was under the inland sea of Wano Country.
He didn’t even choose to go there through the secret passage, but relied on his monstrous physique to dive directly to complete the rubbing work, and then went ashore to leave his wife and children here.
All of this was seen by Setsuna. From the moment Roger’s ship flew over the waterfall, the news had already reached Arceus and Kaido.
If Kaido was alone, he would plan to stay out of the spotlight for a while, because he was very clear about Roger’s strength. He was no match for him now, and there were many strong people among his crew.
But now he still has Arceus, so even Gol D. Roger can’t drive them away. At most, he can start a big war with Wano Country as the battlefield.
However, the Beasts Pirates’ foundation is not stable after all, and they have no direct conflict with the Roger Pirates. A rash battle will make all the efforts of these years go to waste.
So all the animals just wait and watch, and remain on guard.
On the coast of Kuri, Kozuki Oden also saw his retainers who came to pick him up, but it was strange that only Raizo, Kanjuro, and Kokiro came, and their clothes were tattered.
“Where are Kin’emon and the others? Why are only the three of you here?”
“Lord Oden, Ashura Douji returned to Toyama to manage those humans after you left. Denjiro is doing business in the Flower Capital. As for Kin’emon…”
Although they wanted to say something happened in Wano Country during this period, in order not to delay Oden’s plan, Toki stopped them and let Oden leave with peace of mind.
And this extremely heartless man really left Wano Country like this. Although Wano Country was completely different under the management of the Beasts, he missed the best opportunity because of this.
…
In addition to Amatsuki Toki, or Kozuki Toki, according to the rules of Wano Country, her surname should now be Kozuki. In addition to her, there are Kozuki Momonosuke and Kozuki Hiyori. Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were also kept by Oden.
Although they were all his retainers, Kozuki Toki didn’t know the others after all. Leaving two acquaintances behind would help her adapt to the environment here better.
They watched the Golden Jackson leave Wano Country before they decided to leave.
While they were still introducing each other, Setsuna also called her.
“Master Seiya, the ship has left Wano Country. Can Setsuna move freely?”
“what happened?”
“I met two acquaintances, and I may have found a way to go back to Zou.” The life card to Zou is difficult to find, at least the Beasts Pirates have not found such a thing in these years.
After seeing Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, Setsuna thought that there was a high probability that they were carrying Zuo Wu’s life cards.
“It’s up to you, just be safe.”
“clear.”
……
Inuarashi and Nekomaru were chatting with Raizo and the others about what had happened over the years, and were planning to take Kozuki and the others back to Oden Castle in Kuri.
However, Inuarashi and Cat Viper’s ears suddenly perked up because they heard a very familiar voice.
“Inuarashi! Nekomaru! Long time no see! Did you actually come here?”
“moment?!”
“Why are you here?”
The population of Zuowu is not large, and the entire ethnic group only adds up to about 20,000 people. It’s not just people of the same age. It can be said that everyone has interacted with each other in life, even if they can’t call each other’s names.
Not to mention the children of similar age, they are quite familiar with each other, but in the eyes of Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, Setsuna should be in Zuowu and should not be here at all.
“Of course it’s because I went out to sea too. You two guys actually left Zuowu without saying a word and didn’t even call me for such a thing!”
“You are still too young…” They hadn’t seen each other for several years, but before they had said a few words, Inuarashi noticed something wrong. Whether it was Raizo or Kikunojo, the way they looked at Setsuna was very strange.
“What happen to you guys?”
“Do you know this girl? She is from the Beasts Pirates…”
Chapter 173: Revenge.jpg
“The Beasts Pirates…”
Inuarashi and Cat Viper have been sailing with Kozuki Oden over the years, and their presence can be seen on both Whitebeard’s ship and Roger’s ship.
Although the outside world cannot receive news from Wano Country, the Beasts Pirates already have a great reputation in the outside world.
