Arceus’ Pirate Journey

In the 42nd year of the Holy Calendar and the 1531st year of the Sea Circle Calendar, when the new year came, the preparations for the Azure Conference had been completed, and both contestants and spectators had arrived here one after another.

The Sabaody Archipelago, where tourists from all over the world gathered, and ships of royal families from different countries could also be seen. In addition to the Azure Conference, the World Alliance meeting was also about to be held here.

This also added some special meanings to the conference. In the eyes of Pokémon, this was a royal performance to show their military power, but in the eyes of many kings, it was even mixed with some competitions between countries.

Some people didn't even know the names of the players from their own country, but hoped that the other party could win on behalf of their country.

As one of the islands closest to the Red Earth Continent, the Sabaody Archipelago has now assumed the task of diversion.

As the foot of the Alliance's resident, the illegal areas of the Sabaody Archipelago have been completely cleared, giving people who arrived here a lot more sense of security. The conference is about to open, but not everyone is waiting here.

Some people have already dived through the coating and reached Fishman Island for their own sightseeing trip. More than eight years have brought great changes to the world.

With the text propaganda accompanied by strong military strikes and the punishment provisions for buying and selling, the rampant human trafficking on the sea has been effectively curbed, and the situation of the Kingdom of Dragon Palace on land has improved a lot for a while.

The Yarqiman mangroves constantly secrete special resins and generate bubbles under the influence of the natural environment, creating a special bubble culture here.

Next to a mangrove, Hero took a cup and got a cup of sap from the mangrove. After tasting it carefully, a hint of drunkenness appeared on the face of the insect.

Sucking sap is one of the inherent living habits of Heracross, and the mangrove species here are special. According to Hero's language, this sap is whiskey full of sunshine.

Area 60-69 was originally the naval base and the world government's office in Shampoo. Now the naval base has been reduced by half, and the remaining has become the offices of the alliance and the church.

"Competitors please go to islands 60-61 to register, ordinary audiences please go to islands 62-68 to wait for ticket inspection, and participating countries please go to island 69."

In the sky, several chatterboxes are shouting to the humans below. They look like parrots, but their heads and tails have feathers like musical notes.

Due to their different body structures, this type of Pokémon can easily imitate human speech, and do not need to spend a lot of energy on learning and training like Meowth of Team Rocket.

But most of the time they cannot understand the meaning of the words, just acting as a ruthless repeater.

As they grow older and accumulate a lot of experience, chatterboxes can also understand the meaning of the words. These chatterboxes are undoubtedly the experienced ones.

And because of their repeater-like nature, they will not distort the original meaning when passing on the words, and can convey the original words most intuitively.

Under their guidance, the crowd gradually split and moved in the right direction, but there were also some small episodes.

"Weibao. Steamed buns from the Grand Line. Specialties of the old times"

The steamed buns here refer to a kind of snack, which used to be a popular product in the Sabaody Archipelago. However, with the advent of the new era, the danger of the Grand Line has plummeted. As long as there is patience and energy, the sea train can bring passengers here safely.

The dangerous Grand Line was once a mysterious veil, which made the sales of these steamed buns very hot, but now it is no longer possible.

Weibao's business is getting worse year by year. Even if there are a lot of people here, the sales of Weibao are very flat and have become sentimental products.

This makes the boss feel powerless. There used to be Weibao shops all over this place, but now only a few of them are still insisting, and they are not the opponents of those emerging shops.

"Weibao. Wei. Whose Snorlax is this!!"

The boss suddenly found some movement behind him. A Snorlax suddenly picked up the box of Weibao and stuffed it into his stomach. However, the boss did not feel angry, but his tone was full of joy.

There are no wild Snorlax in the Sabaody Archipelago. He has been doing business here and is very sure of this.

Those who can be recognized by Snorlax must be wealthy in the boss's eyes.

The reason is simple, Snorlax will never find a partner who will make him hungry.

The conference is about to open recently, and there are already a large number of Pokémon coming here, which is a blessing from heaven in the boss's eyes.

Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Snorlax did not hesitate to deal with the inventory for the boss quickly, and even the paper boxes were not left.

"Snorlax, why are you here? Buns? Thank you."

At this time, Luffy rushed over from not far away. Even if it was not the first time he came here, Luffy was still distracted by the prosperity here. The original Straw Hat Pirates now split up again, so Luffy did not notice Snorlax's movements.

When Luffy came over, it was already like this.

Looking at Luffy eating buns with Snorlax, the boss's mouth corners kept rising, and he immediately knew what it meant to be happy and sad.

"Guest, is this Snorlax your partner?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, it and you ate a total of 721 boxes of great buns, I'll give you the change, how are you going to pay for 700 boxes of great buns?"

"What?! Don't Pokémon participating in the tournament need to eat?!"

"Guest, that's in the player cafeteria on island 60. It's not free here. Do you want to pay by card or in cash?"

"Helo! Helo! Are you there? Nami! Excuse me, can you lend me some money?"

It's essentially reasonable for Helo to manage money. After all, if he gives Luffy the wallet, he can go bankrupt in one day. He might use the money to hold a banquet in just two sentences.

However, Helo was relaxing before the game, so Luffy's eyes were locked on Nami who came here with Bell-mère and Nochigo, and he completed his loan in Nami's almost cannibalistic eyes.

"Thank you for your patronage~ I wish you good results in the Azure Tournament."

The boss didn't care who paid the money. Anyway, Luffy had already asked him to end his business today early. In this case, he didn't mind complimenting the other party a few more words.

Looking at the boss who packed up and closed the door, Nami's eyes stared at Luffy.

"Why haven't you made any progress after all these years!"

The Sabaody Archipelago is now a tourist area. It goes without saying how much it costs to buy all the inventory of a vendor in a tourist area. If Nami hadn't received her share of the sea chart production, she might not have been able to pay for it.

"Your fist hasn't changed either."

Luffy pressed the red envelope on his head and squatted aside as if he was wronged.

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you know how much you owe me now? Since we are so familiar with each other, I will give you a discount on the interest, and then take into account my investment. Well, you just need to win the championship and give me half of the championship prize money to make it even."

Nami got a string of numbers through mental arithmetic, but was stopped by Bell-mère.

"Nami, you are friends."

"Bellmer."

"So the interest cannot be so high, just collect the principal."

"I know, I am just spurring this guy, do you hear me? Hurry up and find Helo, and then work together to win this championship!"

The Red Earth Continent, audiences from all over the world have come here, and the gaps that were punched in the Red Earth Continent have been dug and rebuilt to build the current audience seats.

"Hello! Everyone, welcome to the Azure Conference! I am today's host Melo!"

Neither Quinn nor Uta, from the perspective of the times, they are already old people, and in some key positions, they naturally have to make way for newcomers.

Mello is 16 years old this year, and at this time, he is also in the human-beast form of the West Lion Sea Ren, with his lower body completely turned into a fish tail, floating in the air relying on a bubble.

And now she is more proficient in controlling her abilities. Relying on the sound she makes when hosting, she can also control the direction of the bubble's movement and perfectly integrate into the arena.

"The rules are very simple. The whole venue will randomly draw lots for random battles. In the preliminaries, the registered Pokémon will choose three to fight. The side whose Pokémon runs out of stamina first will be considered defeated.

Finally, eight people will compete to enter the finals, and the final winner will be decided by 7v7!

Then everyone, the Azure Conference is officially opened!"

Swoosh~!

A feather arrow burning with flames shot out from the side, aiming directly at the mountain that Groudon created with the Cliff Sword. The front end of the arrow seemed to be tied with a feather, which was the fire feather that the Phoenix King fell off.

At this time, the empty mountain just burned up, and Meowna successfully ignited the sacred fire by learning the wave arrow from Setsuna.

"The preliminaries use random venues. The predecessors of the Lunaria tribe will serve as referees for this competition. Please go to your respective venues according to your draws!"

The preliminaries started as scheduled. Helo looked at the sky venue he drew in his hand, and his expression was not good.

Since the construction of the venue utilized a large number of sky island clouds, the competition venue is more three-dimensional. Luffy's team is most suitable for land battles. There are not many footholds in the sky venue, and there are only a few platforms.

And according to the rules, if you lose your strength and fall, you will be directly considered a loser. Although there are large Tanabata Bluebirds below, ready to rescue players who fall into the air venue, this still adds a lot of uncertainty to the game.

[Hehe (I will take the lead in the air venue.)]

Looking at other Pokémon, except for Gyarados, which has some air retention ability, other Pokémon are powerless to do anything about it. If the Onion Soldier chooses to give up the weapons in both hands, he may be able to try it, but in that case, the Onion Soldier will have no combat power.

To this day, even if the Onion Soldier of Wano Country has evolved into many schools, there has never been a school of bare-handed combat.

[Hero (If I lose, try to delay until I wake up. You can trust Luffy's fighting instinct in critical moments, but try to trust your own judgment.)]

"Hero, I'm good at fighting, okay? Have more confidence in me?"

"Hero (Don't you have any points yourself?)"

Luffy is good at fighting because he dares to fight. Now he hasn't figured out the attribute restraint table, let alone other problems.

Soon, Hero brought Luffy and other Pokémon to his competition venue.

"Luffy! Come on, bring me the prize money!"

"Luffy, work hard and don't interfere with Hero's judgment!"

There were some cheers from the audience, but Luffy didn't seem to take it seriously by picking his ears, and Helo had already met his opponent, a Goli.

In today's environment, although the people who came here can gather a team, it is unrealistic to gather Pokémon that can adapt to all venues. What's more, the competition system is to decide the list of participants first and then the venue, and no one can arrange the lineup in a targeted manner.

Seeing Goli doing the karate starting posture, Helo had his own judgment. With the whistle of the start of the battle, Goli and his partner were ready for the battle.

"It's Goli, I know this one, go ahead, Helo, use your strength to knock it down from the front!"

"Goli, prepare to use a lower kick to meet it, believe in your strength!"

Hearing Luffy's order, the other party responded immediately, and Helo was not surprised. It was normal for Luffy to lose control of himself, but this was also part of Helo's plan.

Although he flapped his wings and flew over, Helo instantly increased his height when he was about to touch Goli, and then opened his mouth and spit out several white flying spikes.

"It's Missile Needle. Luffy's Heracross didn't follow his orders and used Missile Needle as a long-range attack. Gou Li was tricked and had no time to defend!

Is this the tactic they discussed in advance? This tacit understanding is too terrible!"

Mello is the chief host. As the preliminaries began, different venues also welcomed different hosts. It is obvious that the host here in the sky venue did not know the inside story.

After the Missile Needle, Heracross flapped his wings quickly and sent a special insect sound to Gou Li. When Gou Li couldn't help squatting because of the harsh sound, he adjusted his posture and hit him with his big horns.

"Gou Li fell off the ring! Unexpectedly, Luffy easily defeated his opponent with a set of exquisite combination skills. It seems that he has undergone special training!"

At the same time, Robin has also arrived at her arena. The rocky venue is not bad for her. Now Robin's Jigglypuff is facing the opponent's coconut tree. From the super long neck, it can be seen that this is still a coconut tree from a strong sunshine area.

"Coconut tree, use your magical power to control it!"

The six eyes of the coconut tree glowed blue, ready to launch a new round of attack on Jigglypuff. Although the Jigglypuff it controlled was thrown out fiercely, it was just a substitute. The real Jigglypuff walked out and calmly patted the dust off his body.

The body of the coconut tree also glowed purple, and it seemed that it had been poisoned by Jigglypuff.
