Selling Pokémon from Pirates

Chapter 290 Momonosuke’s destiny

"The outcome of the battle was unexpected!"

"Even with the power of Heracross, the warrior still fought with Johnny for half an hour..."

"In the end, Johnny won by a narrow margin."

"But the strange thing is..."

Arrita's tone faltered, and she turned sideways, allowing the gap on the left side of the screen to reveal two samurai father and son who looked like they were demented behind her.

With just a glance, Guina knew...

This is when Arrita used Sister Mizui's power to hypnotize these two people.

With the popularity of Pokémon in the pirate world, the hypnotic ability of super-type Pokémon has become a powerful tool for interrogating information on the sea.

Although it is a bit inhumane, in the world of pirates with strong folk customs, who cares about these things?

Arrita continued to report in the same tone as before:

"This warrior is obviously only as strong as Johnny, but his physical recovery speed is even more terrifying than Johnny who is blessed by the power of Heracross!!!"

You know...

For trainers who have insect-type Pokémon, after the bond evolves, their body's recovery ability is already comparable to that of monsters.

Even a wound made by a sword that was so deep as to show the bone would almost not take three days to heal.

What's more, Heracross also has fighting attributes that also affect the trainer's body.

But...

With the blessing of two physical abilities, Johnny's recovery ability is actually not as good as that of the samurai named Kin'emon...

This is simply incredible!!!

If she hadn't seen Kin'emon swimming in the sea with the kid whose face looked like a butt, she would have suspected that Kin'emon was a recovery type Devil Fruit user.

It is precisely because of this, and her trust in Kebi's knowledge and color, that Arrita used inhumane means to hypnotize these two mysterious guys into fools who answered every question.

Unexpectedly...

This interrogation actually made them ask a shocking secret!

…

…

"What!? The young master of Wano who traveled from twenty years ago!? Momonosuke, the sole heir of the Kozuki clan?!"

After hearing the information reported by Arrita, both Kuina and Zoro in the East China Sea opened their mouths.

If they hadn't known how powerful Sister Mizui's hypnotic interrogation ability was, they would have even doubted whether this was information that the other party was telling lies while pretending to be hypnotized.

However, even the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce that controls thousands of worlds is real...

It's just that 20 years have passed, but it doesn't seem unacceptable.

Kuina and Zoro quickly accepted this setting.

Immediately afterwards, an inexplicable color flashed in the eyes of the two people.

"The country of Wano..."

Kuina and Zoro are no strangers to this country.

Not just because two years ago...

The current Four Emperor Doflamingo led the Don Quixote family to create a very important milestone in the history of the pirate world in Wano...

Became the first trainer to use the power of Pokémon to defeat the Four Emperors of the New World!!!

It’s even more because…

By chance, they suddenly chatted about the origin of the word Hedao.

It was also at that time that his master Koushiro revealed that most of the residents of Shougetsu Village were from the Shougetsu clan from Wano Country.

It's just that even Koushiro himself has never been to Wano Country...

So no one took this matter to heart at that time, they just listened to it as a story.

After all, the current Wano Country is no longer as low-key and mysterious in the pirate world as before.

Don't look at it. After the Don Quixote family defeated Kaido, because the family's overall strength was insufficient, it never expanded outwards.

He just hunkered down in Wano to accumulate strength.

But for various other reasons...

Wano Country, a "closed-door" country, has now entered the public eye.

Otherwise, Koushiro would not have suddenly mentioned the matter of Wano Country to Zoro and the others.

After Doflamingo, who was good at business management, took control of Wano Country, Wano Country had long ended its hundreds of years of isolation.

Several emperors from the underground world have visited Wano many times to discuss business matters with Doflamingo.

As a famous mercenary company in the East China Sea in the past two years, Zoro and the others naturally received Doflamingo's invitation.

But Zoro was too lazy to go at that time, and Kuina and others were too busy, so they found an excuse to refuse.

After all, they were just developing in the East China Sea at that time, and they never expected that one day they would be related to the four emperors from the New World.

However, according to the information obtained by the mercenary company at the time...

Although Doflamingo has occupied Wano Country and Kaido's base camp Onigashima.

But because the current general of Wano Country, Black Carbon Orochi, had tampered with the history of Wano Country and branded himself as the hero of Wano Country...

As a result, the Black Carbon Orochi now has a very high status and dominance among the people of Wano.

If it were Kaido in the past, he certainly wouldn't care that a figure like Black Carbon Orochi was in charge of Wano Country.

Even happy to see it.

However……

Doflamingo is different from Kaido.

He may be the Yonko who is the best at doing business in the history of pirates!

In his eyes, the country of Wano, which had been closed off for hundreds of years, was a huge gold mine waiting to be mined!

Whether it is the attraction of Wano, which has been closed to the outside world for hundreds of years, or the seastone that is a specialty of Wano, it is an important tool that can quickly accumulate funds and strength!

What's more, if he doesn't attract enough tourists, where will he get those toy slaves!?

Are you using the people of Wano?

Stop joking!

Those people who have been oppressed for decades are already so weak. How much work can they do in a day?

The real labor force, of course, still depends on the pirates, navy, and other strong men who dare to venture into the new world!!!

So as early as a year ago, Doflamingo had been thinking of ways to banish the Black Carbon Orochi and become the sole controller of Wano Country!

In order to lower the status of Black Carbon Orochi among the people of Wano...

In one year, the Don Quixote family collected all the scandals he had done back then...

At a specific period of time, it was spread to every corner of Wano.

Because there is a new Yonko Doflamingo in Wano, Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, is also unable to find news...

Went to Wano Country and conducted an exclusive interview with Doflamingo.

It was also that time that Dover took the opportunity to spread the word about Wano Country.

By the way, he also told Morgans about the deeds of Kozuki Oden, the original general of Wano.

Morgans did not expect that such secrets were hidden in Wano Country.

After returning, he immediately published a column dedicated to introducing the deeds of Kozuki Oden.

For a time, it caused a sensation in the sea!!!

I have to say...

Even people who have no interest in Wano Country were completely shocked when they saw Kozuki Oden's identity!

Kozuki Oden, former general of Wano Country.

After succeeding to the position of general, he went to sea willfully and became a crew member of the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates.

He even went to the final island of Larulaf with Roger.

It is hard for people to imagine that in that turbulent era, there was such a brave man!

But that’s exactly why!

After learning that Kozuki Oden died inexplicably due to the conspiracy of Kurotan Orochi and Kaido...

The world couldn't help but put a big question mark on his IQ!

You know...

Even just being a member of the Roger Pirates is enough to make him as famous as Kaido.

But for such a character, he spent the last part of his life being played by his enemies, turning himself into a joke.

Not only did it not solve the suffering of the people of Wano, but it also cost all the retainers who loyally followed him.

This made many powerful men and kings in the new world show disdain after seeing the deeds of Kozuki Oden.

And this...

This is exactly what Doflamingo wants to see.

He just wanted to reduce his dominance in Wano Country by exposing the shameless behavior of Black Carbon Orochi, but he had no intention of establishing a new spiritual leader for the people of Wano Country.

Therefore, he even emphasized the stupid things that Kozuki Oden did when publicizing them.

Because Koushiro once said that his family comes from the country of Wano...

So at that time, Zoro and Kuina also went to learn some things about Wano Country.

After reading it, the two of them made the same judgments about Kozuki Oden's actions as the rest of the world...

You are brave and foolhardy, and cannot be put to great use!

But!!!

Just today!!!

A kid suddenly appeared and said that he was actually the young master of Wano Country? The son of Kozuki Oden!?

And it’s time travel from 20 years ago?

This made Zoro and Kuina suddenly become curious.

And also at this moment...

An inexplicable idea suddenly appeared in Guina's mind.

If Momonosuke is really the legitimate heir to Wano Country as he said...

Maybe they can make a deal with Doflamingo!

In any case, Doflamingo was the previous ruler of Dressrosa, and his control there was deeply rooted.

Maybe they just let King Riku return to the throne because they were too busy and too lazy to manage the redundant country.

But once they calm down and try to expand their territory, it is not impossible to continue to capture the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

By that time, their mercenary company will most likely face attacks from the four emperors.

Just right.

Their mercenary company can completely use Momonosuke's identity to reach a consensus with Doflamingo in advance to avoid unnecessary conflicts in the future.

Guina believes...

Regarding the orthodox identity of Momonosuke Kozuki clan, Doflamingo must have no reason to refuse!

In this way...

The mercenary company can get a huge sum of money and make a powerful friend...

The Don Quixote family can deepen their rule over Wano...

Kozuki Momonosuke can fulfill his wish, drive out Kaido of Wano Country, and regain his position as the general of Wano Country...

This is simply a win-win deal for all parties!!!

Many friends, many paths.

Their company had just arrived in the new world and needed a stable development opportunity.

And having the Don Quixote family of the Yonko Pirates endorse them will undoubtedly make the mercenary company's path in the new world smoother.

As for whether Momonosuke will become the puppet emperor of Wano...

What does this have to do with them?

She and Sauron were indeed not bad-hearted, but they were not so good that they would give up their own interests for a stranger.

Their kindness only prevents them from doing bad things, rather than allowing them to lend a helping hand to every suffering person.

not to mention……

Without their help, with the strength of Kinemon and Momonosuke, they would have been swallowed up by the cruel new world before they even returned to Wano Country.

By doing this, they are actually helping Momonosuke!!!

Thinking of this, Kuina immediately said to Arrita on the Rotom side of the phone:

"Arrita, if what that kid said is true, then he is an important bargaining chip that can allow us to gain a firm foothold in the new world!!!"

"I will ask Sauron to take a step ahead and join you in the new world..."

"At that time, you will listen to my command and take action again!"

"Remember!!!"

"Definitely! Definitely!"

"Before that, we must protect that kid!!! Let alone let him go!!!"

Gudong.

Seeing Kuina's extremely serious look, Arrita realized the seriousness of the matter even though she didn't know what happened.

He immediately issued a military order and said:

"Don't worry, Kuina!!!"

"From this moment on, I will let that little devil follow me every step of the way!!!"

"Waiting for your next instructions!"

"Well," Guina nodded, "I can rest assured that you will do your job."

Afterwards, the two briefly talked about the recent situation and hung up the phone.

Arrita's eyes immediately focused on Momonosuke.

She said to Johnny, Joseph and Kerby:

"Have you heard Kuina's order?"

"Hurry up and find some ropes and tie that kid to me!"

"From this moment on, I want that brat to stay by my side."

"ah?"

Kebi on the side had a puzzled look on his face and asked:

"But……"

"Arrita, that brat is a boy after all..."

"It's not convenient for you to sleep, take a bath, etc."

"Otherwise, I'd better tie him to my side."

The kind-hearted Kebi looked at Arrita's fat body and ferocious face...

Although they have been partners for many years, they still feel a little bit unbearable and want to save Momonosuke.

However……

What greeted him was Arrita's fierce gaze!

"you!?"

"Even Johnny and Joseph are more reliable than you!!!"

Arrita said disdainfully.

After all, Kebi had let the enemy go more than once because he begged for mercy, which made the mission more complicated.

If this wretched-looking brat pleads with Kebi and the mission fails, then she will have no choice but to apologize to Kuina!

Arrita would not leave such an important matter to Kebi!

She suddenly yelled:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"You guys, why don't you act quickly!?"

"Do you want me to use something strong!?"

"Ah...this!?"

Looking at the mace being swung into the air, the three of Kebi shuddered for a moment, and then quickly followed Arlita's instructions and used an iron cuff less than one meter long to tie Momonosuke's waist to Arli.

Ta's wrists were tied together.

Um……

The size of both sides of the iron cuffs is the same.

For safety reasons, they also locked up the hypnotized Kinemon.

After a lot of busy work.

Kebi and the three of them hissed softly.

Then looking at Alita's arms that were thicker than Momonosuke's entire body, she couldn't help but silently pray for Momonosuke.

Although she didn't know what Miss Kuina was going to do with this brat, she couldn't help but sympathize with what would happen to him next.

Arrita glanced sideways at Momonosuke beside her...

Thinking that this little brat was going to eat, live and sleep with her, I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart:

"Tch, that's a real advantage for you little brat!"
