Arceus's Pirate Journey

”It’s really... the taste of home... Kaidou... I’m counting on you...” In a foreign land, he preferred to trust his former comrade-in-arms, Kaidou, even though he was just a cook.

”Don’t worry. Go in peace.” Kaidou didn’t get a response this time because White had truly departed.

”White! White!” Looking at the silent White, Riko couldn’t accept the situation.

”Come with me. I promised White I would take care of you. If you don’t want to leave... Mandfeish, go and buy the place where she’s living. If the money isn’t enough, have them ask Orochi for it.”

While others went to entertain themselves, Mandfeish chose to stay with Kaidou. With Shaina and Zeraora with Arceus, no one could start anything, so he opted to stay by Kaidou’s side.

It’s said that the Hundred Beasts planned to further distinguish the ranks of their officers, and he needed to make a good impression.

His ability had earned him a position as a minor officer within the Hundred Beasts Pirates. His Magikarp ability, after training, gave him a body of ”iron skin,” with the distinctly hardened scales and bones of a Magikarp showing through.

Regular bullets couldn’t hurt him, nor could ordinary swordsmen. Only swordsmen at the steel-cutting level could harm him. In this regard, his ability was very similar to Mr. 1 Daz Bonez’s Slash-Slash Fruit, though he lacked the same offensive strength.

He couldn’t turn his arms into blades, relying mainly on fists. Though not weak, other ability users matched him, with Babanuki as a strong competitor.

Now was the time to make his presence known to Kaidou.

On Kaidou’s orders, he immediately led a group, with Little Lily guiding them to the courtesan’s room. Meanwhile, Kaidou prepared to give White’s body a proper sendoff.

Having stepped onto the battlefield at ten, he’d grown used to death, so White’s passing didn’t sadden him. After all, he would fulfill his promise to take care of his family, even if, later on, he may have taken that care a bit too far.
