Pokémons created by him will not betray him, so indirectly controlling the Minks through it is a simple and feasible approach.
As for the wolf Mink girl, Zou Island can accept the coexistence of the two kings, so he sent Zeraora to establish a good relationship with her. Before returning to Zou Island, it’s best if their relationship becomes even closer.
Zeraora was originally a genderless Mythical creature, but he slightly modified it. If he can succeed in this method, it would be good.
But the time taken might not be short, after all, the Wolf Mink girl has no intention of going back.
At night, the Wolf Mink girl had fallen asleep deeply, so Arceus called out the several officers first and introduced Zeraora to them. Except for them knowing Zeraora’s true identity, others would know him as a cat Mink from now on.
King and Shayna had no objections, but Shayna felt a little strange. Although she arrived first, it seems that Arceus now has a new favorite.
So, she felt empty, and in this situation, an increasingly competitive thought gradually emerged with the goal of proving who is the most reliable and trusted subordinate of Arceus.
However, she did not reveal this kind of competitive thought for the time being. When the Wolf Mink girl woke up the next day, she found a new Mink on the ship.
She carefully sniffed, and Shayna also taught her the common knowledge about the outside world, but the scent emanating from Zeraora was completely different from that of ordinary humans.
This must be the real Mink from the outside world that she had never seen before.
“Garchu~”
“Garchu.”
At the moment, the first contact seemed to be going well.
A height of 1.5 meters was not considered tall in the world of pirates, and although he had imparted some knowledge and speaking ability to Zeraora, he was still a “child” who had just been born.
Getting along with the wolf Mink was not bad, and everything about the outside world that she mentioned was novel to him, whether it is Kaido with horns on his head or Arceus.
Previously, Shayna used to look after Olga, but Olga has now basically graduated, and she has a new young Mink girl and Zeraora under her care, giving her the air of a kindergarten teacher.
However, she was quite happy about this. At least she still has the trust and recognition of Arceus, which is why she was assigned these tasks.
After a few days, the Beasts Pirates returned to the main island with their spoils of war. The cold climate of the Winter Island was particularly liked by the Wolf Mink girl as Minks are averse to heat. Zunesha also rarely visits areas with Winter Island’s climate, so this was also the first time she had seen snow.
“Zeraora, look! It’s snow! It’s really cold!”
Compared to the unfamiliar and sparsely-furred humans, who are a special type of Mink, she was more familiar to orthodox Minks. That’s why she gets along well with Zeraora.
Furthermore, Shayna seems to have taken on some qualities of a religious leader lately. So, under the combined influence of Shayna and Zeraora, the Wolf Mink girl has developed a subconscious admiration for Arceus.
“Setsuna, slow down.”
Before the ship had even stopped, she had already jumped off. Setsuna was her name, but she is just a white wolf.
Although Zeraora told her to slow down, it seemed like he was too late.
She had run too fast and accidentally collided with something. Looking up, she saw a fat human standing in front of her.
“Mink? Where are you from?”
It was Queen who had come to receive the ship. He is here to tally the spoils of war and divide them accordingly among those entitled to a share.
But he hadn’t expected a Mink to jump off the ship before it had even docked, let alone there was more than one.
“This one is the one I brought back, and that one was brought back by Lord sacred beast. Is there any problem?”
“No, of course not. Such cute Minks! Would you like some fruit?”
Just a moment ago, Queen, who had a look of impatience on his face, demonstrated what it means to change expressions at the speed of light, and he even brought out two fruits.
In any case, it is not unusual for members of the Beasts Pirates to return with a child in tow. Last time, when King and Olga went out to purchase things, they brought back thirteen children who are now helping out in Acier’s workshop.
This time, Shayna and others brought back two Minks, and it wouldn’t be strange if they bring back a Fishman on their next trip.
However, she is a Wolf Mink, and although she also eats fruit, she doesn’t have a particular fondness for them.
Millennial Dragons, transformed into Archeops, flew one after another towards the mountains in the distance. This was their new gathering place, which was fine except for the cold temperature.
This was not their first battle, and many things have become a routine. Shayna went to arrange accommodation for both Setsuna and Zeraora, while King returned to the warehouse with the treasures. Meanwhile, Queen distributed the remaining spoils and updated the accounts.
Kaido wandered around for a while but didn’t find much to do, so upon returning, he flew off to an unknown destination.
They often lose contact with Kaido, so in his absence, Arceus naturally takes charge. The Organ Dealing Assassination Group’s many years of accumulation had fallen into the hands of the Beasts Pirates. The spoils that were divided up were mostly ordinary treasures, while the more valuable items were naturally kept aside.
Arceus didn’t understand the so-called “artwork,” which were only valuable because of their high price. In comparison to the constantly fluctuating value of inanimate objects, Devil Fruits and famous swords were more valuable to pirates.
However, there was no one among the Beasts Pirates who explicitly used a sword. Although King uses a sword, he only sees it as a tool. Moreover, the swords that were looted this time were not particularly famous swords, and were temporarily put away in the treasury, waiting for their future owner to appear.
The most significant item that was obtained from this operation in terms of practical value was probably a Devil Fruit.
“Queen, do you know what type of fruit this is?”
“Wait a minute, Boss Arceus. This fruit is rare, and I need to look for it carefully.”
Devil Fruit picture book, like a dictionary, has a catalog that categorizes fruits based on their patterns, colors, and fruit types. For instance, an apple-shaped fruit with cyan color and square feather-like patterns.
However, this particular fruit is not easily classified, making the search for it quite complicated.
“Perhaps it’s an unrecorded type. No, I found it.”
Not all Devil Fruits have been recorded in the picture book, and it’s unclear how many Devil Fruits have appeared over the past few centuries that remain unaccounted for. It’s also uncertain how many fruits have yet to be discovered.
But eventually, Queen found the record of this fruit. It seems to luckily previously had an owner.
Looking at the record in the picture book, Queen fell silent, not knowing what to say.
“What’s wrong? What fruit is it?”
“Human-Human Fruit – Ancient Zoan – Model: Caveman.” Looking at the record in the picture book, Queen hesitated a bit before speaking.
There was no other reason than that this fruit sounds too bizarre.
