Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 73
Everyone in the pirate group had their own position. Shaina belonged to the religious personnel and also served as a disciplinary committee member. Without Arceus’s authorization, even Kaido couldn’t command her.
Although Arceus and Kaido had a cooperative relationship, at this point, their collaboration was so close that it was almost indistinguishable from joining forces. What Arceus did could be seen as the actions of a member of the Beast Pirates.
After all, Arceus had participated in almost all the development plans of the Beast Pirates. He and Asier were among the few “normal people” in this regard. They had established a particular “order,” and now the residents of the Beast Pirates’ territory even accepted the rule of the Beast Pirates from the bottom of their hearts.
As long as they completed the assigned work in the designated area without endangering lives and paid a certain income as protection fees, they could live here.
This was similar to the environment in some kingdoms. In terms of significant policies, Arceus had, to some extent, copied the development plans of Noxus. Those capable would rise, and as long as they could demonstrate their value, regardless of what kind of value it was, they could obtain enough status.
This was the most suitable plan for the current situation. No matter how good the talk was, this was still the rule of pirates, and charity was impossible.
The Beast Pirates could support those injured in battle and their families, as well as those working for the Beast Pirates, but they would never take care of unrelated people.
As the captain, Kaido often didn’t do anything significant as the Governor-General of the Beast Pirates. However, it was normal for a captain to be indifferent to affairs most of the time.
Under Kaido and Arceus, Shaina’s current combat power was undoubtedly the first. She had already proven this in battle, so she and King were considered equal.
Moreover, she was ruthless in dealing with those pirates who violated the rules. When she got angry, these pirates would try to stay away from her as much as possible to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
But this time, she was a bit out of control.
“Big sister, calm down, calm down. This is an uncontrollable factor.” However, these words didn’t have much effect, and they didn’t dare to stop Shaina’s outburst.
“What should we do?”
“Why don’t you go?”
“Are you kidding? Can any of us stop big sister when she’s angry? What about Big Brother Kaido and Big Brother Arceus ?”
“They just left a couple of days ago. You should know that.”
Then, they looked at their leader. When the sky falls, tall people must hold it up. Usually, he enjoyed higher status as the leader of a small team, but in times of trouble, he had to step up.
“No, why is big sister angry? Can’t you tell me?”
He had been collecting taxes from ships replenishing resources at the port, which was a rule. When ships docked in the territory of other pirates, they had to pay regardless of what they did; otherwise, it meant war. Unexpectedly, something happened later.
“Just now, the news bird brought the latest bounty notice, and big sister became like this after reading it.”
Then he brought some new bounty notices from the side. After the battle between the Wald Pirates and the Beast Pirates ended, most of the executives of the Beast Pirates were put on the bounty list. Kaido’s bounty was also raised to 1.8 billion, which included the bounty on Wald.
As he searched through them, Arceus’s bounty notice appeared in front of him, and he also understood the reason for Shaina’s rage.
Unknown Creature, Beast Pirates Pet, Bounty: 5000 Berries.
Shaina was already the type to be easily impulsive, but sometimes, she would display extreme reactions. When dealing with matters arranged by Arceus, she was very cautious and would make sure everything was correct. She could even time herself to appear in front of Arceus with a stopwatch.
But once faced with insulting language, she would enter a state of extreme anger.
Insulting Arceus in her presence was no different from insulting a nun in front of Auntie.
Defining Arceus as a pet, or an unidentified creature without a proper name, coupled with a “huge” bounty of 5000 Berries, could be said to have touched all her nerves.
Both the Marines and the World Government had the authority to set bounty amounts, usually based on the level of threat posed by the pirate. Some small fries in the four seas were usually directly set by the branches of the four seas and then reported.
However, the bounties for major pirates were set by the World Government and then conveyed to the Marines below.
Sometimes, the amounts they set for bounties could have been more puzzling, with some being odd numbers that made no sense.
In some cases, they set bounties based solely on the present situation. For example, a deer that was initially given a bounty of 50 Berries, after experiencing many significant events, had its bounty doubled to 100 Berries.
Non-human creatures often set strange bounties, including but not limited to Chopper with a bounty of 50 Berries, Bepo with 500 Berries, and now Arceus with 5000 Berries.
The photo showed Arceus standing at the bow of a ship, apparently taken by a special agent on Wald’s boat when he arrived at the battlefield with the supply ship.
For some unknown reason, they had put a bounty on Arceus, but they still needed to collect relevant information. They simply attached such a strange title to him.
In a sense, 5000 Berries was already a grave matter, considering it was the equivalent of the initial bounty for 100 Choppers.
But it still couldn’t change the fact that 5000 Berries couldn’t even buy a big meal. Plus, being labeled as an unidentified creature, a pet, and all these titles together, it was no wonder Shaina was furious.
The source of the problem was found, but the problem still needs to be solved.
“Call the Holy Beast Boss. We probably can’t persuade big sister. Big sister, what are you going to do?”
Watching Shaina, who was about to leave after venting her anger, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
“What are you going to do? I’m going to kill the guy who issued this bounty!”
“No, big sister, calm down! We are still determining who issued this thing. Besides, Lord Holy Beast is against slaughter, and your mission during this time is to stay here.”
Shaina’s advantage was that even when she entered a state of rage, she wouldn’t indiscriminately attack like Auntie. After experiencing many days of hardship, she was always looking for cheaper things to throw.
This time, the fire got out of control, and the room was on fire. After that, she vented her anger by throwing things at rocks outside, and someone was putting out the fire now.
After some persuasion from her subordinates and Arceus’s mission requirements, the two extremes canceled each other out, and she temporarily calmed down.
“Give me a new bounty in the underground world to see who gave
This bounty notice. This matter is still ongoing. Also, who wants to spar with me?”
As soon as she said this, those pirates all stepped back. Usually, they would all get beaten up during sparring with Shaina, let alone now. However, at this moment, a lucky one appeared.
“Muahaha, what’s going on? How did you set the house on fire?” Keene happened to arrive here at the right time, pushed aside his subordinates, and saw the dangerous look under Shaina’s mask.
