Selling Pokémon from Pirates

Chapter 118 Undercurrent

"The Secret of One Sword Style: Thirty-six Winds of Worry!"

Phew~

Following Zoro's loud shout, a burst of explosive storm suddenly rolled up in the pirate base.

The dazzling sword light danced in the air like a demon, and no grass grew wherever it passed.

"ah!!!"

"Run quickly!!!"

"Help! The God of Death is coming to collect people!!!"

"…………"

The pirates in the base seemed to have encountered the end of the world, with tears streaming down their faces, but they did not dare to stop escaping.

But at this moment, a dark green silhouette suddenly flew over the pirates, and suddenly landed in front of the scurrying pirates like a meteorite.

"just!"

The eyes of the flying mantis that landed on the ground burst out with a cruel and fierce light.

All of a sudden!

Two sharp arm blades were held on his chest.

Accompanied by two raging cold light flashes, a blade storm similar to the move released by Sauron surged out.

It forms a double-team with Sauron's Anxious Wind, making it inevitable for all pirates to avoid it!

After the whirlwind, there was not a single pirate who could stand up on the surface of the entire base.

"Huh~"

Sauron took a long breath, then looked at the single sword scabbard in his hand with a smile, then looked at the flying mantis opposite, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised.

“A pleasure to work with!”

"just!"

Flying Mantis smiled and raised his arm blade in response.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook.

Not far away from Sauron and the Flying Mantis, Arrita, who was carrying a huge mace, was walking towards Sauron step by step, carrying Kebi who had fainted.

"Boss Sauron! Kika, who had a bounty of 8 million, has been beheaded. This base is now ours!"

Arrita laughed and said as if taking credit.

"Um."

Zoro nodded in response, then looked at the pink-haired boy in Arrita's hands and asked curiously:

"What's wrong with him?"

"he?"

Arrita lifted Kebi high in the air like a vegetable basket and said awkwardly:

"this……"

"He was knocked unconscious by a pirate I accidentally threw over. I thought it would be more dangerous for him to be alone, so I took him with me."

"..."

So, it turns out you were stabbed in the back?

Zoro grinned, showing a helpless expression.

Fortunately, looking at Arrita's appearance, it was not a problem, so he did not continue to ask.

But despite this, Zoro still looked at Kebi's face with some concern and confirmed his status.

In fact, Zoro paid much more attention to this weak boy than he showed.

In Kerby, he saw something that Johnny and Joseph did not have...

That’s talent and tenacity!

Compared to his two bag-carrying boys, Zoro is now more optimistic about this thin boy.

Even though his current strength is only on par with a pirate.

But Sauron believes that in the near future, he will definitely become the most powerful fighter on this ship, second only to himself and the Flying Mantis!

But what happens in the future can only be known in the future.

Zoro's eyes turned to the treasure room deep in the pirate base again.

Johnny and Joseph had already raided the treasure room at his instruction, and I believe it won't be long before they can tally up their harvest.

Because Arrita backstabbed the Pirate Alliance, their harvest this month was unimaginable!

Today is also the final battle to dismantle the Pirate Alliance. After sorting out the supplies here, Zoro plans to contact the dimensional merchants for transactions and officially participate in this Pokémon League Conference!

With nothing to do, Zoro took out his cell phone Rotom.

But suddenly, a message popped up.

[Ding dong! You have a new system notification, please check it! 】

Only then did Zoro remember that Rotom's voice had indeed come from the cell phone during the battle just now.

But because he was too busy at the time, he asked Rotom to postpone the reminder.

The sudden pop-up reminder just reminded him, and Zoro quickly read the new messages in the system carefully.

"The Grand Line? The Kingdom of Alabasta?"

After reading the information above, an emerald green light suddenly flashed in Sauron's eyes.

The corners of his mouth raised involuntarily, looking at Johnny and Joseph who had already sorted out the trading supplies, he murmured to himself:

"A dedicated area for ranked matches? This is simply..."

“Just what I wanted!!!”

…

…

As the news spread, the entire sea instantly boiled again.

There is no airtight wall in the world!

After several days of fermentation, major newspapers instantly grasped the entire content of this system notification, and worked very hard overnight to report its content completely.

Suddenly, anyone who paid attention to the Chamber of Commerce of All Realms and Pokémon knew about the emergence of a Pokémon Center in the Grand Line!

At this time, some people who believed that Pokémon were real could no longer sit still and tried their best to head to the Grand Line.

Today's Pokémon are no longer illusory and ethereal existences.

As the number of trading people increases, there is more and more information about Pokémon.

And these cute, powerful, and loyal little guys instantly became popular in the sea.

In addition to the East China Sea, whether it is the North Sea, the South China Sea or the West China Sea, they are all complaining bitterly...

Why don’t the dimensional merchants appear in their place!!?

It is precisely because of this complaint that in the past month, the number of people immigrating to the East China Sea from the other three seas has increased significantly.

To know……

Traveling across sea areas in the pirate world is not something ordinary people can do!

Unless you are a powerful pirate, the kind who can swim in a windless zone...

Otherwise, you can only enter other sea areas through official channels and passages on the Red Earth Continent.

And those who can do this can only be described in four words...

Either rich or noble!

This leaves some pirates from ordinary families to only look at the various Pokémon in the newspapers, but they can't help but love them.

Now, the Chamber of Commerce of All Realms has actually built a public landmark building in Alabasta on the Grand Route.

All of a sudden!

People from the other three seas set sail one after another and marched towards the great sea route!

For those who love Pokémon but can’t get it, this will be their most likely chance to get it!

No matter what, they all want to see what the creatures from another world look like!

Even if this trip may cost them their lives.

But this is the world of pirates. For an inexplicable reason, a little gangster may become the world's leading strongman!

With the support of belief, they are always able to make all kinds of outrageous operations.

All of a sudden!

A ship with the banner of a trainer appeared from all over the sea, but not a single Pokémon could be seen on board, heading towards the entrance to the Grand Line, Mount Twisted.

The real era of Pokémon has officially begun!

…

…

And it was at a time when there was a lot of discussion from the outside world.

In the central town of Goa Kingdom, in a small villa, a strange thing happened.

"Klar, has Captain Sabo's fever gone away yet?"

Seeing Krall walking out of Sabo's room, Nami and Karina immediately surrounded him and asked with worried faces.

"..."

There was a hint of helplessness in Krall's eyes, he sighed, shook his head, and replied:

"Not yet. Even after seeing so many doctors, I still don't know why Sabo suddenly became like this."

"strangeness!"

Karina murmured in confusion:

"Everyone was fine before, but why did Captain Sabo suddenly fall ill as soon as he arrived at Goa Kingdom?"

"…………"

The three beautiful girls suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Krall suddenly raised his head and said firmly:

"Can't wait any longer!"

"Tomorrow night, we must take action!"

"Action?" Nami was stunned and said quickly:

"But, now that Captain Sabo is like this, we are leaderless, will we act rashly..."

Nami's worries were unfounded.

Originally, after taking over Kojiro's mission, the revolutionary army quickly launched operations, mobilized a large number of troops from the East China Sea, and gathered on the edge of the Kingdom of Goa.

And accepted the order of Sabo, who had a certain prestige in the revolutionary army, to serve as the commander-in-chief of this operation.

Although Nami and the others had just joined the revolutionary army, the powerful power behind them still allowed them to squeeze into high-level meetings.

I just didn’t expect that…

After setting foot on the land of the Kingdom of Goa, their commander-in-chief, Captain Sabo, suddenly fell ill, suffered a splitting headache, and passed out.

It has been almost a week since the trip, and Saab still shows no signs of waking up.

This made all of them feel extremely confused.

However……

Krall, who saw the doubts in Nami's heart, shook his head.

"We can't wait any longer! The navy has now caught the signs of our soldiers' actions. If we wait any longer, we will only have more nightmares!"

"Before the navy can react, we must launch a blitzkrieg and occupy the Kingdom of Goa instantly!"

"Then use the financial resources of the Revolutionary Army to purchase powerful Pokémon from dimensional merchants, and fire our first shot at liberating the world in this kingdom!"

Having said this, Krall suddenly paused and immediately looked at Nami:

"Nami, I have obtained approval from the headquarters..."

"If Sabo still can't wake up during the day tomorrow, I will replace him as the new commander of the army."

"And Sabo's original mission of arresting King Goa can only be left to you tomorrow!"

"Leave it to us?"

Nami looked a little stunned.

But after thinking about it, among all the people present, it seemed that besides Sabo, he was her Pikachu.

Although she felt a little desperate, Nami finally nodded and said without delay:

"give it to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she smiled calmly.

It seems that if you don’t contribute, you won’t be able to enjoy the half-price discount offered by Dimensional Merchant.

…

…

"Colonel Smoker, a large number of abnormal ships have recently appeared near the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea. According to the analysis of the World Government's intelligence department, it is suspected that they are from the revolutionary army..."

"I now order you to immediately change direction and go to the Kingdom of Goa to find out the truth!"

Windless zone.

Smoker, who had just received the navy's order to prepare for the Kingdom of Alabasta, suddenly ordered the ship to stop.

He looked at the unfamiliar face on the phone and sighed silently.

"Why me? I just received an order from the Navy Headquarters to investigate the Kingdom of Alabasta ahead."

"Because you are closest to the Kingdom of Goa and have enough strength!"

Smoker's unfamiliar voice came through the phone bug again.

"besides……"

"This is an order from the World Government!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Smoker suppressed his dissatisfaction and finally answered to the phone bug:

"Okay, I will go to Goa Kingdom to investigate the situation."

"Um……"

There was a deep groan from the phone line. It seemed that he was very satisfied with Smoker's answer. He said, "Then I'll leave it to you!" and immediately hung up the phone.

"this……"

The disappointment on Taschi's face, who was following Smoker, was beyond words. He held Shigure in his hands and sighed slightly.

Who is this?

No notice early, no notice later...

Wouldn’t it dampen people’s enthusiasm to inform them when they are excited to go see the elf center?

But they just couldn't do anything about the senior officials of the World Government.

Dasqi raised her little mouth in a tantrum.

"What! The Revolutionary Army is not under the control of our Navy! Are all the people in the World Government just for a living!?"

"Why are these people in the Revolutionary Army so stupid!"

"Now people from all over the sea are gathering towards the Grand Line. They actually insist on going upstream to the Kingdom of Goa. Aren't they just waiting to be caught!?"

"…………"

Dasqi, who are you?

Smoker puffed on his cigar and looked at his deputy with strange eyes.

Ever since it was revealed that the World Government had ordered the navy to attack civilians, his adjutant's image of the navy seems to have undergone a 180-degree change!

He used to be a staunch supporter of the navy, but now he is like a tax thief, thinking about Pokémon and famous swords every day, and not wanting to do any other work.

Breathing out a large amount of smoke, Smoker was worried that Dasqi said the wrong thing, so he quickly interrupted her and comforted her, ""

"Okay, okay, it's useless even if you complain again! Let's hurry to Goa Kingdom and take a look at the actual situation there..."

"Solve it early, we have to go to Alabasta earlier."

"The headquarters has invested so many resources in me, but they still expect me to achieve good results in the Pokémon League Tournament!"

After persuading Dasqi to carry out the order with a few words, Smoker lit three cigars again and sat silently in the office.

The swirling smoke filled the sky above the office, making it seem like it was covered by a layer of gauze.

After a while, Smoker took out the cigar and pressed it into the ashtray.

Suddenly, he vomited softly:

"A world government that's crazy!"
