Arceus's Pirate Journey

The pirate obsessed with weightlifting hadn’t noticed them, but the sitting doctor nearby noticed the two.

Though Nightin hadn’t officially joined before, her herbal medicine and bone-setting techniques impressed these doctors from various places.

Nightin’s methods differed from these doctors with formal training from various countries; though her prescriptions and techniques were rough, their effectiveness was excellent.

Especially her bone-setting techniques—they were derived from the fist styles developed for combat.

In order to better dislocate an enemy’s joints, Nightin was quite knowledgeable about the human structure.

Though Asie was a research enthusiast, his own daughter was one of the disasters, so his reputation naturally wasn’t small.

As for why the doctor ignored Olga herself, it was because she had slipped away on a whim after they landed, leaving ample space for the two of them.

”Yeah, you’re back, you can’t escape this time.”

”Then Old Brother Asie would be happy about that. By the way, could you help me take a look? I’m a bit unsure about the position of his arm.”

Asie’s interruption didn’t stop him; his tone and expression had already indicated that Asie wasn’t truly displeased with such talk. The doctor made a few jokes, and then entrusted Nightin to deal with the patient before them.

”This sprain... what did you do?”

”This...”

”It’s his first time on Ghost Island. His confidence was a bit inflated, feeling unwilling to accept the strength of those Machamps, insisting on measuring up to them, and ended up taking a Hell Roll head-on. Lucky for him, if it weren’t for that Machamp’s good nature, it would have snapped his neck.”

At this point, the doctor smacked him lightly on the shoulder, causing him to wince in pain, but he dared not retort.

For pirates, doctors are a very important profession. Typically, no one would choose to offend a doctor. If they were injured during a mission, in most cases, they’d rely on doctors for treatment.

Then the doctor briefly summarized what the pirate had done, which called for an understanding of the current promotion system within the Hundred Beasts.

To transform from a regular pirate to a Divine Favorer, the first thing to do was pass the review and become one who could be stationed in Wano Kuni, which meant joining the main team of the Hundred Beasts.

If one’s strength or accumulated achievements weren’t up to it, they could only remain on the outer islands, where in most cases they’d receive an Artificial Devil Fruit.

Entering Wano Kuni meant that the pirate had already surpassed most of the regular members, becoming part of the elite. Usually, pirates newly arriving on Ghost Island are proud, and pride often leads to mistakes.

In the training ground, without heed to his comrades’ advice, he chose to duel with a nearby Machamp.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be an issue. Machamps who love to fight wouldn’t refuse such a challenge.

Upon successfully arriving at Ghost Island, wanting to show off more, he chose a Machamp that looked very strong. Beside this Machamp lay many defeated Machamps, suggesting it was the ace among the Machamp group.

However, he didn’t notice that there was a pale green Machamp observing from the side.

Pale green being the alternative coloration among Machamps, commonly known as Shiny Pokemon. Most crucially, this Machamp was female, commonly referred to as Shiny Female Machamp.

In the eyes of Machamps, the alternate-colored one is like an exotic princess, many young Machamps, including Machokes and Machops, all vied for the favor of this female Machamp.

Among Machamps, the most trustworthy is the one with the most developed muscles, greatest strength, and strongest combat ability, and would gain precedence in choosing a mate.

The simplest way to prove this was through a fight.

Those Machamps were the young ones who persevered through layer after layer of contests, reaching the final crucial stage for courting, only a step away from winning the beautiful Machamp.

To challenge at this moment appeared to the Machamp as more than a mere challenge, and combined with the pirate’s slightly provocative tone, it saw him as an enemy attempting to ”steal a wife.”

The genes passed down by their lineage compel them to accept the enemy’s challenge in a courting context — refusal equals losing and giving up, so the Machamp decided to go all out, using its signature move - Hell Roll.
