APJ Chapter 176 The Vegetable Thieves

Previous ChapterNext Chapter


Within Beasts Pirates, except for some secret information that is communicated verbally, the rest is mainly copied. Arceus checks them every day.

Kaido is naturally no exception. He is the Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates, so he cannot be excluded from such matters.

Although no one informs him verbally, the documents are still handed to him.

But from his response, it can be seen that he hasn’t read a single word recently. Moreover, those are all news from several months ago, indicating just how long it has been since he last paid attention to these matters.

“Worororo, don’t worry about the details. I trust you to handle these matters.”

Kaido’s boisterous laughter echoed on the rooftop of Onigashima, and the people who heard this laughter were already accustomed to it. Kaido’s personality is unpredictable, and his laughter is much safer than his tears.

At least when Kaido laughs, it means he’s not too drunk and won’t engage in extreme behavior. However, if he starts crying, it could be dangerous to stay near him.

As for the Poneglyph, it refers to the indestructible steles created by the ancestors of the Kozuki clan in Wano Country during the Void Century.

No one knows for sure what material they are made of. In any case, the words on them have remained remarkably clear even after hundreds of years of history, and even the World Government hasn’t been able to destroy these stones.

There are two types of Poneglyphs. One type is the Road Poneglyphs, which record the location of Laugh Tale. They are characterized by their crimson color, and there are a total of four.

Currently, one is in the possession of Charlotte Linlin, one is in the depths of the inland sea of Wano Country, one is on Zou Island, and as for the whereabouts of the last one, it was not known to Beasts Pirates.

The other type is the 26 Poneglyphs that record the history of the Void Century, including nine that contain important information. These Poneglyphs are probably harder to find than Arceus’ plates.

Arceus has a method of sensing the plates, but finding Poneglyphs truly relies on luck.

World Government strictly prohibits interpreting the contents of the Poneglyphs, and what exactly is there on Laugh Tale remains a mystery. However, this didn’t diminish Kaido’s interest in them.

It’s just that after this, Beasts Pirates have to add another type of “stone” to their search list.

The conversation on the rooftop of Onigashima had no impact on anything, but in Kuri’s Paradise Farm, Setsuna suddenly woke up from her sleep because she heard a scream, which sounded quite familiar — it seems to be Nekomamushi’s voice.

Instead of going there immediately after leaving her house, she looked towards Zeraora’s residence.

It is unquestionable that Zeraora is stronger than her, so the sound she heard is something that Zeraora couldn’t have possibly missed. However, at this moment, she could still hear the crackling sounds of lightning coming from his room, indicating that Zeraora hadn’t left.

“Zeraora, something seems to have happened at the farm.”

“It’s nothing major. If you’re worried, you can go and check it out.”

Setsuna made a mistake in her judgment. It’s not that Zeraora didn’t go; he had already gone there and came back.

His task was to guard the Paradise Farm. However, apart from him, there weren’t many members of the Beasts Pirates here because the main force here was not them but those Miltank.

Although Miltanks have gentle personalities and they get along well with children, and they appeared quite delicate, it would be a big mistake to think they were ordinary cows.

These Miltank were not to be trifled with; they possessed combat strength.

“By the way, it might be that annoying cat you mentioned earlier. Tonight, they might have a tough time.”

Upon hearing Zeraora’s words, Setsuna seemed to understand what was happening and immediately left the bedroom, running towards the source of the sound.

“Meow, what are these strange cows?”

A vacant land on the farm, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were being besieged, and the ones attacking them were none other than Miltank. After curling up into balls, they continuously charged towards Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

Although Nekomamushi liked balls, this type of ball wasn’t in his preferred category.

“I told you not to come, but you didn’t listen. Now you know the consequences!”

Inuarashi crossed his hands to block the rolling Miltank and then turned to Nekomamushi, complaining.

They have just returned to Kuri not long ago, and logically, they should be resting in Oden Castle by now. However, after hearing what had happened during this time from Denjiro and others, Nekomamushi felt dissatisfied.

Furthermore, due to Kin’emon, their finances were severely in the red. Even the kitchen only had some cheap ingredients left. They could endure hunger themselves, but they couldn’t let Lady Toki and the children go hungry as well.

In Nekomamushi’s view, this place was originally built by Oden. Even if it had been forcibly leased by the Beasts Pirates, it still belonged to the Kozuki family. So he came here to steal vegetables.

Intitaly, Inuarashi thought it wasn’t right for him to do so, and intended to stop him. However, in the end, he ended up coming here with Nekomamushi.

As for the reason, it was similar to when they went to Shimotsuki Yasuie’s house to steal money.

Kurozumi Orochi took advantage of Oden’s wealth, and since he was a servant in Shimotsuki Yasuie’s house, they went to his master’s house.

And now, with the Beasts Pirates causing trouble in Oden Castle, they came to take back their things from their own farm.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi didn’t have much trouble infiltrating the farm, and not all of the fields were planted with Berries. Some parts of the land were used for growing ordinary vegetables and fruits.

There were no visible guards inside the farm, but in places they couldn’t see, there were quite a few resting Miltank, so their act of stealing vegetables was discovered just like that.

Although Miltank could walk upright, their height was average, and in the farmland, only their cow heads were visible. Seeing that they were discovered by a cow, they didn’t take it seriously and continued stealing vegetables as if no one was there.

Naturally, this behavior angered the Miltank. At its call, the nearby resting companions also woke up. When Inuarashi and Nekomamushi realized something was wrong, they were already surrounded by more than a dozen Miltank.

At first, Nekomamushi didn’t take these Miltank seriously. In his view, they were just some peculiar breeds of cows. He had also sailed the seas, visiting many magical islands with Roger and Whitebeard.

The isolated nature of the islands led to the emergence of unique species on many islands, so he simply waved his hand to drive away those Miltank.

Both of them continuously disregarded the Miltank, so the Miltank also no longer showed any courtesy. The leading Miltank immediately curled up into a ball and rolled straight towards Nekomamushi.

When Nekomamushi turned around upon hearing the commotion behind him, what he saw was a Miltank growing larger and larger in his line of sight.
