Arceus's Pirate Journey

"Biological weapons? What are you talking about? Didn't you go find a slate for Lord Arceus? Why did you get involved in such a thing?"

Quinn had an ominous premonition and did not answer Shaina's question immediately. Instead, he wanted to find out the situation first.

"I killed that big-headed monster by the way. The new issue of the newspaper hasn't been delivered yet. You'll know after you read it."

"Big-headed monster. Wait, you killed the Vegapunk guy? Didn't you just finish the mission?"

"The one that just ended is Zeraora. We separated before and it's already been a day now.

Lord Holy Beast lent me some power, so I came back a little early."

Shaina's answer answered Quinn's doubts and also made it clear why Shaina returned to Ghost Island so early, but the news of Vegapunk's death still shocked him.

"You just...killed me right away?"

"Yeah, what's the problem? I'll never forget what happened to Punk Hassad in my life, not to mention that bastard actually used our blood to create biological weapons.

You haven't left at that time, so you don't know anything about this kind of thing, right?"

Scheina's words reminded Quinn of what happened decades ago, when the MADS team was still carrying out its own adventures on the sea, and even the funds were funded by Du Feld, the loan shark leader of the underground world.

Quinn didn't remember much about Vegapunk. MADS was just a group temporarily united because of interests, and the relationship between them was not close.

The members hardly deal with each other, and everyone looks down on the other members, thinking that they are the best.

And after capturing the Lunarians.

[The legendary race of gods that can live in any environment, their resistance is really terrifying.]

[If you use their genes to transform people, you should be able to achieve strong effects.]

When Quinn read the World Government's order, and what he had discussed before, he suddenly understood why Shaina killed Vegapunk without thinking, even if she didn't slice Vegapunk into pieces.

Not bad.

Now for Quinn, it doesn't matter whether Vegapunk fails or not, what matters is how he can get out.

admit

No, we must not admit it!

"I've never heard of it. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't even know what that weapon looks like."

"The characteristics of the Lunarians are white hair, brown skin, black wings, and the same fire burning behind us, but their appearance is that of Hancock and Hawkeye when they were young, and they even inherited some fruit abilities.

To be honest, even after beating you for so many years, I will not kill you."

In less than a tenth of a second, Quinn had captured the key point in Shaina's words. Not being able to kill her and not taking action were two different concepts. She only said she couldn't be killed, but she didn't say she wasn't going to fight.

Then some very horrifying images appeared in Quinn's mind. In order to prevent those images from coming true and to prevent Hawkins' black sign from being realized, Quinn resolutely vetoed the matter.

"You just subconsciously rejected it twice in a row. This is not your character. You are lying."

"Why can't I understand what nonsense you woman is talking about? Forget it, I have seen it in the experimental records, but I have not participated in it. Even if Vegapunk succeeded, it was only after I broke away."

Seeing that Shaina still did not let go of her doubts despite the continuous rejections, Quinn also noticed something unusual. It was obvious that she had not vented her resentment after killing Vegapunk and wanted to find someone to continue beating her up.

If he is destined to be unable to escape, he must also clarify that he was not involved in this matter.

If Shaina mistakenly thinks that she is also involved in the experiment of biological weapons, he will really be doomed.

I was beaten by Jhin in the morning, Shaina in the afternoon, and the Spiny Ammonite Beast probably took the opportunity to fire a spiked cannon at night.

"You are indeed lying. I almost believed you."

"."

"Evidence, how can you prove that you were not involved in this matter."

"You forced me to do this."

"What, do you want to do it? I don't mind. The short-term power of Lord Holy Beast has made me realize a lot of things. You can try it."

Shaina made a fighting stance, but Quinn's next words completely surprised her.

"I don't have the ability."

"What did you say?"

"I said I don't have that ability. Compared with that guy from Vegapunk, I'm like a waste. You know my technical level. Even if I want to, I don't have the ability to make that kind of thing, so there's no way I can do that."

I have never participated.

If I have to say it, it’s me and I don’t have the ability to participate.

There is nothing I can do even if I think about it, let alone I don’t even want to!"

After saying this, Quinn seemed to be drained of all his strength, and his fat body seemed a little weak.

This is something that the members of MADS are unwilling to admit and have to face. They are not as good as Vegapunk, neither in terms of knowledge nor ability.

What Vegapunk can do, they may not be able to do. Even with the same research ideas, Vegapunk can easily produce a phantom beast fruit with no difference except the color.

Just because of my own obsessive-compulsive disorder and the environment I live in, I insist that it is a failure.

If the World Government knew that he had really produced the fruit of the phantom beast species, I'm afraid there would be no more time for research and he would be forced to mass-produce those things.

When Caesar arrived, ordinary animal fruits were transformed into inhuman and ghostly forms, but he still believed that they were successful experiments.

At this time, Quinn is facing his own weakness.

"You are cruel."

Quinn used a perfect reason to remove himself, just like many ordinary companies who cried out for injustice when they were suspected of food fraud, and said that they lacked technology and had no ability to use such high-tech additives.

"Wait, where are you going?"

Seeing that Shaina had no intention of taking action, Quinn became even more panicked.

"Go on vacation. I'll forgive you for having wronged you this time."

"When you come back, shouldn't you just find a reason and beat me up? What's going on if you leave like this?"

"Is there something wrong with you? If you are really itchy, you can go to Guaili's gym. They will welcome you as a new punching bag."

After saying that, he ignored Quinn and flew directly into the sky into the wind.

Looking at Scheina leaving, Quinn thought for a moment, and then took out a phone bug.

"Hey, Hawkins? Go back to Ghost Island immediately. Mission? Abort the mission and let someone else carry it out. Come back as soon as possible!"

Quinn originally thought that this matter was the black sign in Hawkins' divination, and the excuse was just to reduce the degree of misfortune. Unexpectedly, the excuse went too far, and Shaina gave up directly.

According to past divination, things that have not happened are not completely over. In other words, there is another thing more harmful than this thing waiting for him, and that is the disaster in his life.

The only person who is scarier than Shaina is either Yamato or Kaido. According to experience, although Yamato talks harsh words, he really doesn't do much, so in the end only Kaido is left.

Ever since the Blue Wave Q1.0 experiment, Kaido has not made a move against him. He can no longer estimate what new tricks Kaido will play after such a long time.

"Tsk, it's a pity that Sister Shaina didn't take action."

On the top floor of the Pokémon Center, Yamato put down the telescope in her hand. She could swear that she was just bored and looking at the scenery of the inner sea. She counted the number of Magikarp along the way, and it was a coincidence that she found Quinn.

The distance was too far and she couldn't hear what Quinn and Shaina were saying. She just instinctively thought that Shaina would take action, but the result made her a little disappointed.

"Sister Derek, why are you here?"

"Come for lunch, the sick meal here tastes good."

Derek held a dinner plate in his hand and regarded this place as a canteen for lunch.

"Didn't your adoptive father give you a black card for unlimited overdraft?"

"Yes, there is a charge for meals for the wounded and hospital patients. If I couldn't swipe that card, I wouldn't be able to afford it."

"But wasn't yesterday a payday? You didn't even treat me."

"Well, after paying off the debt, whatever is left will be spent."

When Derek mentioned her empty wallet, she didn't feel any resentment at all, but was a little proud. Then she took out a stack of scratched lottery tickets from her pocket.

In order to promote the flow of funds, the lottery tickets sold externally are also sold within Wano Country, but here they are just ordinary lottery tickets with no additional purpose.

Taking the lottery tickets handed over by Derek, Yamato counted them roughly, and finally got a not-so-pleasant result.

"You seem to have lost money."

"It doesn't matter. Although I spent more than I earned, I reaped the joy of winning."

"But your money is gone."

"Hey, miss, you don't understand this. The human brain will protect its owner, and it will take the initiative to forget some unhappy things.

Money will always be spent, but happiness is different.

As time goes by, you will only remember the happiness when you draw, and forget the annoyance when you don't draw. Isn't it very profitable to think so?"

Drake's economic theory always makes people's eyes dark. Not to mention Mandfish, who lives every day, can't understand it. Even Yamato can't figure out how she persists.

"However, the brain will not protect your wallet. When you see an empty wallet, it will remind you of the pain you have experienced."

"It doesn't matter, my wallet has never been full, and I don't feel anything when I see it. I won't experience that feeling, and you probably can't understand it, Miss."

"Well it's a bit hard to imagine."

Derek said something that Yamato had never thought of, after all, her wallet was never empty.

At this time, there was a noise from the submersible port in the other direction. As the port chain turned, the Shadow Fox appeared again on the ghost island. Olga, who had been on vacation before, had returned with Naqin.

9k, debt cleared
