Beasts Pirates' Purchasing Service

As a jack of all trades, he often receives some strange tasks.

Like, on the days when Arceus was absent, in order to deal with the growing corals, he needed to make some underwater demolition equipment, otherwise this situation could only be handled properly if he dispatched officers.

Even ordinary pirates, with Squirtle's help, could stabilize themselves in seawater, but the resistance brought by the seawater prevented them from swinging their hammers with full force, resulting in very slow progress.

Making machines to demolish corals underwater wasn't difficult at all; it was just a matter of waterproofing them to prevent electrocution. The hardness of the coral reefs hadn't exceeded that of metal.

However, the first generation product he made didn't receive much positive feedback, so he started to improve the second generation product. Once the product was ready, it naturally had to be used. He only managed external business issues and internal research issues, while the overall defense of Onigashima fell within Shayna's jurisdiction.

Although clearing corals couldn't be considered defense, the personnel handling it were arranged by Shayna. Since she was akin to Arceus' secretary, her office was just outside Arceus' main office.

But now, most of the ground here was occupied by Mareanie, so he accidentally stepped on one when he entered.

"Mareanieee!"

"Mareanieee~?!"

"Mareanieee~, Mareanieee~, Mareanieee!"

He always took pride in his rounded figure, but the consequence of this physique was a significant increase in weight. Even though most of it was fat, he is still an overweight person.

And with Mareanie's tentacles dragging on the ground, being stepped on by this blob of flesh, even though some parts could regenerate, Mareanie still felt the pain. Those tentacles might look like hair, but they're used for hunting, so they naturally have sensory nerves for pain.

Living creatures naturally retaliate when they feel pain. Although Queen's soles were thick, his calves were exposed, naturally provoking Mareanie's attack.

His instinct was to retaliate, but reason stopped him within 0.01 seconds. At that moment, his brain worked rapidly, making the most correct decision.

This here is Shayna's office, also equivalent to Arceus' office. When he came up earlier, he heard others chatting and knew Arceus had returned.

In this situation, the appearance of strange creatures in Arceus's office meant that they were undoubtedly created by Arceus.

Moreover, although the poison released by Mareanie caused him temporary pain, it soon triggered the Berry detoxification device in his body, causing no significant harm.

So Queen did nothing but resist Mareanie's attack using Haki.

The penetrating power of Mareanie's poisonous spine wasn't weak, but Queen's Haki, forged over many years, was equally formidable. After he began to defend, Mareanie couldn't do anything to Queen.

If it weren't for the huge gap in talent, he could try to compete for the title of Iron Balloon in a few years.

Then Queen did the wisest thing: he shouted for help, waiting for Arceus to handle these Pokémon.

"Alright, he didn't mean it, don't hold it against him."

"Mareanieee~"

After Arceus pacified them, the Mareanie gave up their confrontation with Queen and, led by Shayna, headed to their own dining hall, which was the outer area where coral was growing crazily. It was time for them to eat.

"Lord Arceus, could you ask them to produce more poison for me? I think this poison has great development potential."

The feeling of first numbing and then itching immensely made him see the prospects of Mareanie's poison. This highly tormenting poison was practically a war weapon, likely very effective in interrogation or torture under normal circumstances.

As for how he determined it, if it could make him, who had gone through many vicissitudes of life, feel pain, then it indicates that the poison was already qualified.

He felt that he had already antagonized the Mareanies, so there was no need to go through the trouble like he did with Weezing.

"I saw Pierman when I came back. Go ask him for some coral branches and take those things to find the Mareanie. They will cooperate with you."

Corsola can shed the corals on its back, and as an Ability User of Corsola, Pierman inherited this trait. At the same time, this was also the favorite food of Mareanie.

Apart from a few exceptions, Pokémon's personalities might be irritable, prankish, but mostly, they were simple. Offering them their favorite food could probably resolve the conflict between them.

Normally, Pierman shouldn't have been here; he should be with Mandrell. It's just that it's the time to transport the supplies, so Pierman returned to Onigashima. He also has a shopping list with him.

After all, this world was ultimately led by the World Government. Some things from the West and East Blue couldn't be obtained through regular channels, and the prices on the black market were exorbitant. However, the Beasts Pirates had them. Another reason for the existence of Beasts Fruits was as a purchasing center for the Beasts Pirates.

Beasts Pirates would regularly gather the items needed by their members, which are then collectively purchased and distributed by the Beasts Pirates. However, during this process, an additional portion of taxes is levied, with only senior members or officers being exempt.

Nowadays, Mandrell was also living a decent life. Although he was rich, it didn't stop him from being thrifty.

But with pirate activity on the rise, he had to remain stationed within the territory. Hence, he sent Pierman back to handle the purchases instead.

With a plan in mind, Queen went off in search of Pierman's whereabouts, while the Mareanies were already crawling along the outskirts of Wano Country.

Their suction cup-like feet and the pointed spikes on their tentacles allowed them to move stably in the sea currents, and the corals protruding above the sea surface began to disappear at a visible speed.

Meanwhile, within Wano Country, many people were also filling out their shopping lists. This purchasing service was also available to the people within Wano Country. All it required was for someone in their family to work for the Beasts Pirates or have acquaintances within the crew to experience this service.

Due to the closed environment of Wano Country, the import of these foreign goods relied solely on the Beasts Pirates.

In today's reality where the Beasts Pirates actually ruled Wano Country, the number of people who didn't work for the Beasts Pirates became rare. Even the staunch loyalists of the Kozuki family were the same. Otherwise, before the plan was realized, they would starve to death.

After all, the definition of working for the Beasts Pirates included, but was not limited to, working in farmlands, laboring in weapon factories, and a series of activities.

Even ordinary people could enjoy this purchasing service, let alone those who actually joined the Beasts Pirates, such as the new leader of the Shinsengumi, Hotei.

He became the leader of the Shinsengumi not because of his outstanding strength but because he knew how to bootlick.
