In the original agreement, the only thing that Baijuu wanted was Taoyuan Farm. These farmers were recruited by them later because Oden’s retainers failed to arrange a good way out for them.

They had previously carried out a lot of negative publicity against the Beasts Pirates, so these people were very panicked at first, and it was more like they were forced by life to accept the employment of the Beasts.

Later, reality told them the truth. Faced with the objective facts they personally encountered, those “rumors” naturally refuted themselves.

So when they saw Inuarashi and Nekomamushi appear here, a complex emotion arose in their hearts.

However, when some people saw the vegetables trampled on the ground, anger arose in their hearts. Those were the foods they had grown with great effort, and they were actually wasted like this.

“Inuarashi…the expressions of those people…remind me of some very bad things.”

“Ah, me too, just like when we first got here a few years ago…”

Chapter 178 The pain that life cannot bear

That was when they had just drifted to Wano Country. The residents of Wano Country regarded them as monsters and wanted to burn them to death. The looks in those people’s eyes now were very similar to those before.

Last time it was Kozuki Oden who saved them, but now the situation is different. Although they have the ability to fight back, they can’t attack those residents. However, Cat Viper found an opportunity.

With the arrival of the residents, the intensive rolling of the large milk tanks slackened, and the previously untouchable leader became closer to them.

Electricity flashed across his body, and he used static electricity to stimulate the muscles in his body in search of a faster burst.

According to the herd’s thinking, as long as they can defeat the leader, these members will be afraid, and then they can leave here.

“Cat Viper! Come back!”

Looking at the Cat Viper that suddenly rushed out, a few drops of cold sweat flowed down Inuarashi’s forehead. Although he has dog fur, there are still some differences between him and a dog. For example, his skin can also sweat, and he does not need to rely entirely on his tongue to dissipate heat.

To him, the suddenly stopped milk tanks looked like a blatant trap, and Cat Viper plunged right into it.

Although they were forced into a corner by Miltank, they also had reasons to retreat voluntarily. With no way out behind them, Cat Viper and Inuarashi only needed to defend one-fourth of the area each.

And now Cat Viper rushed out on his own initiative, which meant that his body was completely exposed to the attack range of Miltank.

They just slowed down but did not stop completely. Instead, they formed a pocket formation. Now that the cat viper took the initiative to rush in, they tightened the pocket.

“Moo, moo, moo!”

Under the leader’s command, only a few Milcanks were left to hold back Inuarashi, while the rest concentrated their firepower on besieging Cat Viper. Cat Viper was not afraid of these Milcanks in a one-on-one fight, so it might not be a problem even in a one-on-many fight.

However, he had no weapons with him, and because of his contempt, he was hit head-on by the leader of the Milktank at the beginning. Now he was unable to withstand the siege of the Milktank.

Without Inuarashi’s assistance, its defense was quickly broken when it was attacked from both sides. A big Miltank took advantage of the situation and used a small hole in the ground to adjust its angle, then crashed into Cat Viper’s crotch from below.

The fur tribe is also a kind of sub-human. Although the rolling milk tank looks very smooth, they have horns and hooves.

Being hit in the crotch by an irregular, high-speed rotating ball, the pain was hard to describe in words. The cat-viper let out a shrill scream, and this was also the sound that Setsuna heard.

Cat Viper’s performance made the surrounding villagers feel uneasy and they took a few steps back unconsciously. The people from the Beasts Pirates had told them before not to anger Miltank, otherwise it would be very dangerous.

During this period of time, Miltank’s gentle behavior almost made them forget this sentence, but today, they completely understood how terrifying Miltank was.

“Cat Viper!”

Looking at the Cat Viper lying on the ground, Inuarashi became a little anxious. He almost suffered the same fate the next moment. This time, there was no Kozuki Oden to save them. However, not long after Cat Viper screamed, Setsuna appeared here.

“Wait, stop first!”

The nominal management rights of Utopia Farm now belong to Zeraora, and Setsuna also enjoys certain rights, so Miltank will still obey her orders.

“Why are you two here?”

Looking at Cat Viper lying on the ground and Inuarashi panting, Setsuna didn’t quite understand what was going on.

“Moo, moo.” Without waiting for Inuarashi to answer, Miltank made his meaning clear with words and gestures. People who have been with Pokémon for a long time will be able to understand the general meaning.

“You two are here to steal things?!” When Shanna heard what the leader of the Milktank said, he showed an incredible expression.

The national background of Zuowu has led to their customs being more like primitive society. There are only a few of them, and if they steal something, they will be despised by the whole tribe.

Then she looked at the villagers around her and said to them, “It’s all right everyone, just a small matter, you all go back to sleep.”

She still cares about the camaraderie of her own people. It would be too embarrassing in front of so many people. The serious thing to do is to let them leave first.

Under Setsuna’s persuasion, the villagers packed up their things and left one by one. After all, the people from the Beasts Pirates had already arrived, so they didn’t need to delay.

Finally, there were only a few pirates left around. If the previous trainee was Olga, then now Olga has begun to be promoted to a cadre and has become a new reserve cadre in an instant.

She, who has always been by Zeraora’s side, can also give orders to these pirates.

“You guys go back too, I’ll handle this.”

“Ms. Setsuna, you are alone…”

“Don’t worry, I know them, and there’s Miltank here.” With her insistence, the pirates also left.

……

“Okay, can either of you explain to me why you would steal things here?”

Although she said so, Setsuna’s gaze had already turned to Inuarashi. She didn’t expect the already lying Cat Viper to give her a serious answer.

It wasn’t because he was knocked down, but because she didn’t believe that anything good could come out of Cat Viper’s mouth.

“Well…how should I put it…” Inuarashi’s expression was a little embarrassed. They could deceive themselves by saying that it was for the lord’s wife, but they could not hide the fact that their behavior was stealing.

“Forget it. By the way, do you still have Zuo Wu’s life card? I accidentally lost mine.”

This time, Setsuna remembered the important matter and asked Inuarashi for the life card. Inuarashi’s life card was not lost and he always carried it with him. After hearing what Setsuna said, he tore half of it for her.

Then she picked some vegetables and fruits and gave them to them.

“If you really have nothing to eat, come to me. I can still make the decision on these things.” The children of the Beasts Pirates all have their own pocket money, and they usually have nowhere to spend the money, so these can be considered her personal sponsorship.

“Don’t steal things next time. It’s okay this time, but you will be punished if you do it again.”

Normally they should be punished for doing this, but Shanshan wanted them to leave immediately because of the camaraderie among their fellow tribesmen, so he let them leave immediately.

But not everyone was willing to accept her kindness, like Cat Viper, who, after recovering from his shock, was not convinced.

“Meow… This was originally our farm, but you guys just took it away. How can this be called stealing?”

“Cat Viper!”

As soon as these words came out, Inuarashi knew that he was in big trouble, and the electric current flashing through Setsuna’s body also proved this.

“Cat Viper, I have tolerated you for a long time today, please don’t be so shameless!”

Chapter 179 Beating

In most cases, the Fur Tribe attaches great importance to fraternity. Because the tribe is small in number, they need to help each other even more. This is the case in Zuowu, not to mention the rare compatriots they meet overseas.

Whether it was Setsuna taking some crops for them or Inuarashi splitting the life cards, they did not hesitate at all, as this was assistance among the same clan.

Similarly, they also attach great importance to gratitude, and it is their characteristic to repay favors, even if the price to pay is high.

Kozuki Oden is indebted to Cat Viper and Inuarashi, and the Beasts Pirates is indebted to Setsuna. Under this premise, it is understandable that they chose different forces.

But Cat Viper and Inuarashi are different. Inuarashi can think about the situation rationally, while he is impulsive and directly brings his blind worship of Oden into his personal feelings.

Setsuna and Inuarashi focus on the relationship among the same clan when dealing with problems, but Cat Viper is different. He is so influenced by Oden that all he thinks about is the contradiction between the Beasts Pirates and the Kozuki family.

Although it has not yet erupted, there are objectively existing disputes, such as the ownership of Taoyuan Farm. In Cat Viper’s view, this is just robbery by the Beasts Pirates.

From his point of view, there is nothing wrong with this view, it can only be said that each has his own master.

And the Beasts Pirates are pirates after all, and even if they have more rules than ordinary pirate groups, it cannot change this fact.

Although Baishou has been using a conciliatory policy most of the time, it does not mean that they have completely given up the use of force. When they were repairing the factory in Tuwan before, there was some intention of forced demolition.

Although those were done by Kurozumi Orochi, it is not right to say that the Beasts did not take any action at all. After all, without Kaido behind them, those daimyos would definitely oppose Kurozumi Orochi’s behavior.

Even though the beasts did not continue to persecute the residents as Kurozumi Orochi wished, but instead properly resettled them, offsetting merits and demerits does not mean that the “demerits” disappeared.

Taoyuan Farm can be said to be the only farm that ceded land to pay compensation. This was the price Kin’emon paid for violating the rules set by the Beasts Pirates.

The right to use Taoyuan Farm is used to offset the penalty for Kin’emon’s mining. Except that Oden Castle can no longer use the crops there unconditionally, there are no other changes.

In Setsuna’s eyes, Kin’emon is not a victim, but a criminal who reaped what he sowed. However, she did not extend this emotion to Cat Viper and Inuarashi, as there are still big differences between individuals.

Cat Viper had a small conflict with her since they met in the daytime because of their identities. Just now, she was kind enough to send them both away and even bought them a lot of things out of her own pocket, but she didn’t expect Cat Viper to still be stubborn with her.

“Do you think you are right?”

“I already said that this place was taken away by you guys.”

“Very good, Inuarashi, put the things down for me. I regret it.” Judging from what Cat Viper said, it was her duty to give these things. If she let them take the things away, it would be like she was admitting her mistake.

Since the Cat Vipers were so clearly divided, there was no need for her to show any friendship. Letting them leave here was the last bit of friendship among the same clan.

Although the crime of theft is not as serious as jailbreak, it is not too much to throw him into the trap of mining for a few days.

As he said this, he was about to take back the things he had handed to Inuarashi and waved his hand to signal them to leave quickly. However, Cat Viper didn’t seem to want to leave just like that. After all, the purpose of their coming here had not been achieved yet.

“Inuarashi, you go first, I’ll hold her back for a while.”

“Is…isn’t this bad?”

“Mrs. Toki is still sick.” Although Inuarashi was more rational, he was still shaken when talking about Kotsuki. Looking at the green vegetables in his hands, he was still shaken in his heart.

And Cat Viper’s actions finally broke Shanna’s bottom line. She had tolerated him twice, and this time she couldn’t bear it anymore.

“I said put your stuff down, can’t you hear me?!”

She exerted force with her legs and almost bounced out from her original position. Her claws, flashing with lightning, reached out to grab the thing in Inuarashi’s hand. Cat Viper wanted to stop her, but after seven years of not seeing her, he underestimated Setsuna’s strength and didn’t even touch a single hair of hers.

The wolf’s claws swept through the air, and the straw basket was torn into pieces by the sharp claws. The fresh fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the ground and rolled away along the slope.

“You keep saying that we robbed your farm, but now you are also robbing my things. You should go back and ask those people why they gave this place to us!”

As he said that, he kicked Cat Viper. Due to the repeated rubbing of the rolling Milk Tank, he had just stood up tremblingly for a while, but was kicked out directly.

The resentment that had accumulated before completely erupted at this moment, and Shanshan’s fist hit the cat face of Cat Viper directly.

“I told you to condemn me, to make me say the wrong thing, to steal things! I have tolerated you for a long time, do you know that?”

There was a faint flash of electricity on his fist, which showed that Setsuna was really angry, and Cat Viper was stunned. They had fought before, but Setsuna was no match for him at that time, so he never took Setsuna seriously in his heart.

After not seeing Setsuna for a few years, he has become much stronger than before. He had just recovered from the pain caused by the big milk tank when he was hit directly in the eye by Setsuna, leaving a big black circle under his eye.

However, just as she was about to make Cat Viper symmetrical and add a bruise to the other eye, Inuarashi stepped in to block her attack.

“Setsuna, Cat Viper said something wrong. Please give me some face and let it go. We were wrong.”

Their arms were slightly numb, not because of the electric current, but because of the difference in strength. It seemed that Shanshan had changed much more over the years than they had imagined.

“I’m giving you face…but where’s my face?”

Although Inuarashi blocked Setsuna’s attack, Setsuna had no intention of stopping. Cat Viper provoked her again and again. If she hadn’t been sentimental, they would have fought long ago.

She pushed Inuarashi away and continued to beat Cat Viper without stopping.

After several attacks, although Setsuna’s attacks became much lighter, he still had no intention of stopping. In this situation, Inuarashi also joined the battle with Setsuna.

He has a better relationship with Cat Viper. The fact that things have come to this point has a lot to do with Cat Viper’s impulsiveness. It’s okay to let him suffer a little, but if it continues, Inuarashi won’t be able to bear it.

“Setsuna, it’s almost time.”

Even though she beat Cat Viper severely, she didn’t mean to kill him or anything. She just hadn’t vented all her anger yet, and it was enough at this point.

“Cat Viper, apologize to me. As long as you admit that you were wrong this time, I will let you go this time.”

Chapter 180: Hard-mouthed

The fundamental reason why they fought was because Cat Viper always wanted to stand on the moral high ground to condemn her, but when he condemned Setsuna, he was doing the same thing himself.

Doing this for Oden is right, and doing this for others is wrong, and this is the root cause of their fight.

Now that the man had been beaten, as long as Cat Viper verbally admitted his weakness to her, she would be able to save face.

Things should have ended here, but some people remain tough even if their whole bodies are weakened and burned to ashes.

This is the case with Cat Viper at this moment. Not only does he think he was right in what happened before, he is also unwilling to accept being defeated by Setsuna. He is very shocked that Setsuna could beat him into this state.

After all, the past moments were not that strong.

“Don’t be so proud. If I hadn’t been injured by those weird bulls, you wouldn’t be my opponent… meow… woo woo…”

However, Cat Viper was blocked by Inuarashi before he could finish his words. If this continued, it would be a disaster.

“It seems that you are very dissatisfied.”
