Selling Pokémon from Pirates

Chapter 101 Hyde Incident

The roaring whale king transformed into a giant beast of the deep sea and roamed freely in the great sea route full of dangers.

And during the period when Lin Luo entered the Grand Route.

A strange ship quietly entered the East China Sea from the extremely dangerous windless zone.

…

…

Aboard a camouflaged merchant ship.

A cute girl wearing a beret took the information she had just received and came to the bow of the ship to look around.

Soon, she saw the blond boy standing by the boat rail and staring at the sea.

A sweet smile suddenly appeared on the girl's face, but she immediately put it away. She took two quick steps forward and said seriously:

"Captain Sabo, we just received an urgent mission from the headquarters, asking us to go to Hyde first before looking for the dimensional merchant..."

"Um!?"

Halfway through reading, the girl suddenly discovered that the boy's gaze had not changed at all. She stopped immediately and tried:

"Captain Sabo, are you listening???"

"…………"

"Captain Sabo!?"

"Ah...ah?!"

Seeing the palm that suddenly stretched out in front of him, Sabo was stunned for a moment, then was startled and quickly took a step back.

"What, it turns out to be Krall?"

After sighing in false alarm, Sabo showed an easy-going smile.

"What do you find me for?"

"Well……"

Clara, who realized that she was being ignored, immediately widened her eyes, pouted her lips, and slowly moved her face towards Sabo.

For a moment, their eyes met.

"What...what happened?"

Just when Sabo couldn't bear the pressure of this sight and wanted to continue to retreat in embarrassment, Krall suddenly said:

"What's wrong? I should be the one to ask you this question, right?"

"You've been acting strange since you entered the East China Sea. Just now you didn't even hear what I said."

"This is not something you would do!"

"Ah, this..." Sabo pressed his cheek in embarrassment, as if he was perfunctory with his girlfriend but after being discovered, he quickly apologized:

"I'm so sorry~"

"I don't know why, but as soon as I come to the East China Sea, some strange pictures always appear in my mind..."

"So I lost my focus just now without paying attention."

"Strange... picture?"

Krall was suddenly startled, and his cute and ferocious appearance disappeared in an instant. He immediately realized something and asked cautiously:

"By the way... I remember the leader said that you were picked up by him in the East China Sea."

"Could it be that you remembered something?"

Sabo's brain was severely damaged due to being hit by the Celestial Dragon's artillery, resulting in the loss of all his past memories.

After being brought back to the Revolutionary Army headquarters, the only thing he knew was his name and he knew nothing else.

Therefore, Sabo's life experience has always been an unsolved mystery in the revolutionary army.

"Memories..."

Sabo frowned and shook his head.

"Unfortunately, I don't recall anything."

"Just like before, once I try to recall the past, my brain will be in unbearable pain."

"That's it."

Krall glanced at Sabo worriedly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked his back, comforting:

"Don't push yourself too hard. If you feel tired, just rest for a while." Kral said.

As a revolutionary who grew up with Saab, she realized that Saab's previous memories may not be so good.

After all, even if he loses his past memories, Sabo will continue to train himself and squeeze his potential.

That terrifying ferocity seems to be engraved in his bones.

How can a person who can develop such a character have a wonderful childhood...

However, it is precisely because of this fierceness that Krall has a different kind of admiration for Sabo.

As for whether this feeling of admiration has deteriorated, perhaps even Krall himself is not clear about it.

However……

Facing Krall's concern, Sabo gently shook his head, and then showed a smile as bright as the sun:

"It's okay, Clar."

He patted Krall's beret and performed a standard head-butt kill.

"By the way, you haven't said you came to me yet. What's the matter?"

"..."

Krall pursed his lips.

Finally, she sighed and rolled her eyes at Sabo complainingly.

"Forget it, the devil is too lazy to care about you!"

Avoiding Sabo's palm, which seemed to comfort a child, she picked up the information handover in her hand again, and then continued to report:

"News just came from the headquarters. According to the spying of the intelligence department, it has been determined that there is a huge slave trading den in the Kingdom of Hyde in the East China Sea."

"This den is led by the Wilson royal family of the Hyde Kingdom. Over the years, nearly 3,000 slaves have been captured and sold in the East China Sea. Because it is well hidden, it has never been exposed."

"But not long ago, a duke of the Kingdom of Hyde was suddenly assassinated, and the Palace of Hyde was attacked by unknown persons."

"Intelligence personnel speculated based on the subsequent narratives of the soldiers that those involved in this assassination operation were most likely traders from the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce..."

"And based on that time and the strength displayed by the other party, that person must have the ability to contact dimensional merchants."

As early as half a month ago, World Economic News published various ways to find dimensional merchants.

From that newspaper, the revolutionaries far away in the New World also learned...

Although there are many traders from dimensional merchants in the sea today, there are actually only a very small number of traders who have the ability to contact dimensional merchants.

And these traders all have one characteristic in common.

That is their trading volume, which is at least 2,000 points.

In other words, only those with a transaction volume of more than 100 million beli are eligible to obtain the contact information of dimensional merchants.

For the revolutionary army, trying to accurately find a dimensional merchant who travels around the world in the East China Sea, which occupies a quarter of the planet's area, is tantamount to wishful thinking.

So looking for a trader who can contact the dimensional merchants is their main purpose of coming to the East China Sea this time!

Here, Kral continued:

"What the leader means is that we go to the Kingdom of Hyde to search."

"The best is to find an opportunity to destroy the Wilson royal family's slave trade chain, and the worst is to save those unfortunate slaves!"

"By the way, you can also find out about the dimensional merchants."

"It's the damn slave trade again!"

As soon as Krall finished speaking, Sabo punched the ship's rail with boundless anger in his eyes.

Even now, he doesn't understand why the navy, which carries the name of "justice", would allow such a deformed industry to exist.

But the next second.

Sabo immediately restrained his emotions and ordered to Krall:

"Order the ships to head towards the Kingdom of Hyde."

"We can let the matter of the dimensional merchants go for a while, but we will never let go of anyone suspected of engaging in slave trade!"

Because professional trainers provide training every day, Saab has already maximized its potential at this time.

Both the armed Haki and the Haki of knowledge are already at hand, and his strength is much stronger than Ace's at the moment.

Proper Shichibukai level combat power.

This is also the main reason why Long felt comfortable letting Sabo lead the team to the East China Sea alone!

In Long's mind, the talented Sabo was already the second in command of the revolutionary army!

This mission to find the dimensional merchant is actually just to gain military merit for Sabo.

"Saab..."

Krall's eyes flickered, looking at Sabo who was exuding anger at the moment, his heart seemed to be hit by something, and he trembled suddenly.

Even in the revolutionary army, no one actually knows...

She was once a slave.

If the fish-man adventurer Fisher Tiger hadn't rescued her from the Holy Land of Mariejoia, she couldn't imagine what her life would have been like.

Unfortunately……

"well."

Thinking of that regrettable past event, Krall sighed in his heart.

When she thinks that Fisher Tiger would not have died if he hadn't escorted her home, she will feel extremely hateful in her heart!

I hate those ignorant humans and I hate myself for being useless at that time.

That's why she chose to join the revolutionary army, wanting to save more suffering people and change this bad world.

This is the only redemption she can achieve!

The ships of the revolutionary army, carrying the great revolutionary will, marched towards the Kingdom of Hyde.

…

…

Three days later.

As the last ray of sunlight disappeared at the end of the horizon, thousands of lights lit up in the Kingdom of Hyde.

And at this time.

In a tavern in the capital of King Hyde, three mysterious people wearing linen cloaks were sitting in the corner of the tavern, drinking the drinks in front of them and looking around at the surrounding environment.

"It seems that the previous incident has made the Wilson royal family vigilant. The number of patrols passing by the door is obviously several times that of the last time they came."

Nami, whose face was hidden in the shadow of her cloak, looked at the passers-by at the entrance of the tavern and said.

"more than!"

Under the other cloak beside Nami, Karina frowned slightly, her gaze resting on an ice cream vendor on the street, with a solemn look in her eyes.

"Not only has the number of patrols increased, but the firearms in the hands of those soldiers just now are also like I have never seen before!"

"But looking at the format, this should be a new type of musket unique to the navy!"

"You mean..." Nami frowned, "The navy has provided new weapons and equipment to the Wilson royal family?"

"No..." Karina shook her head and sighed softly: "It's not the navy, but... the Celestial Dragons."

"…………"

"…………"

After Karina finished speaking, the scene instantly became quiet.

Tianlong people, no matter when, this is a heavy topic that should not be mentioned.

After a while, Nami suddenly picked up the juice on the table and drank it all!

Then, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes glowing with confidence, and chuckled:

"Although Wilson's power has strengthened, our power is also different from what it used to be!!!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at the linen cloak on the other side of her.

"Are you right, Captain Crowe?"

The hood of the cloak slowly came off, revealing a very gentle gentleman's face, but it was different from ordinary gentlemen...

Hidden beneath this gentleman's face is a pair of bloodthirsty and greedy eyes!

Crowe cracked the corners of his mouth, shook the wine glass, and said seriously:

"That's right!"

"According to the information that Zangao obtained from Duke Dora yesterday, it seems that the new manpower of the Draconians has not yet had time to reach the Kingdom of Hyde."

"Now will be the best time for us to attack Wilson!!!"

Regarding today's action, Crowe expressed full confidence, and his confident eyes were revealed under the transparent lenses.

If you want to ask why he is so confident...

This matter started after they were rescued by Lin Luo a month ago.

The three people who were successfully dealt with did not dare to disturb Lin Luo who was dealing with Aokiji after they woke up. Instead, they directly boarded the Black Cat Pirates' Baiji Braku and left the Kingdom of Hyde.

But although the people have left, the hearts of the three of them will stay there forever!

Neither Nami, who wanted to destroy the slave trade, nor Crow, who was obsessed with the treasury of the Kingdom of Hyde, gave up on infiltrating the Kingdom of Hyde for the second time.

The two groups hit it off immediately and formed a cooperative relationship!

During this month, they did not continue to look for other profitable businesses.

Instead, they found an uninhabited island and conducted emergency training.

Under the guidance of Badahu, who has king-level vision, Pikachu and Pickpocket Cat's strength increases day by day.

Pikachu, who became stronger due to the explosion of psychic power, has reached the terrifying level 32!

Although Pickpocket Cat has slightly lower qualifications, after a month of hard training, he unexpectedly completed his evolution and became Cool Leopard.

The strength has been amazingly improved, reaching level 28!

At this point, Nami and Crowe have truly seen the amazing growth ability of Pokémon!

After possessing enough strength, their eyes naturally aimed at the place where they had been defeated!

…

…

"Oh, I really lost to you!"

Seeing the confident looks of the two trainers, Karina shook her head helplessly.

But Nami stood up from her seat, patted her shoulder with one hand, felt the tender and smooth touch with her fingers, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Karina, after today, I will help you contact the dimensional merchant..."

"By then, you will have your own Pokémon!"

Nami has not forgotten...

Because of her willfulness, Karina almost died with her in the palace.

But even so, after waking up, Karina didn't complain at all, and instead tried her best to help her plan her second infiltration.

This is the first time Nami feels that the power of her partner is so powerful!

However, she will not make the same mistake twice!

"Then... let's go first, Karina!"

"Be careful!"

Karina nodded and smiled encouragingly at Nami.

This time, she did not plan to follow Nami and the others into the palace.

Without Pokémon, she knew that her joining would only cause trouble for Nami and the others.

So she took the initiative and chose to stay in the town as a support.

Anyway, she has done what she should do.

Within a month of Nami's special training, Karina took the Black Cat Pirates to visit this area.

It can be said that the nearby sea area has been completely explored.

A lot of information was collected.

And all this is mainly to prevent the accident that day from happening again!

Under Karina's investigation, she can say...

Today, near Hyde, not to mention the passing naval warships...

Even the commander of the nearest naval base was transferred to Rogge Town yesterday afternoon for unknown reasons to serve as the temporary commander and take charge of Rogge Town.

The new naval base commander won't arrive until tomorrow.

That is to say...

Today will be the day when the Hyde Kingdom’s defense force is the most relaxed!!!

As long as Nami and Crowe successfully sneak into the palace and assassinate King Wilson, the Kingdom of Hyde will be temporarily leaderless.

In this way, no one will pay attention to the business line of the slave trade, and someone will naturally find out...

The king they were loyal to was actually doing these beastly things behind his back, which were worse than pigs and dogs!!!

Then Nami and Crowe ransacked the palace's treasury, and followed the route planned by Karina, so they could escape.

Everything was planned so perfectly!

Karina never believed it...

The same accident will happen twice!?

…

…

at the same time.

A low-key ship slowly docked at the port of the Kingdom of Hyde.

A pair of handsome men and women slowly walked out of the ship.

"Is this the capital of the Hyde Kingdom?"

Sabo stared at the city in front of him.

Who would have thought that in such a brightly lit and beautiful city, such a dirty business as the slave trade could be hidden.

"That's right." Krall, who was beside Sabo, nodded.

"According to intelligence, after Duke Gordon was assassinated, the Wilson royal family moved the location of the slaves to the palace."

"That is to say..."

"If we want to deal with those slaves, we must first find a way to sneak into the palace."

"Well, it's not that difficult!"

Sabo responded in a deep voice.

Considering their strength, sneaking into a palace in the East China Sea is simply a piece of cake.

What really puts these revolutionaries in trouble is...

They still don't know how to clean up the darkness in this person's heart and the distortion of human nature...
