Arceus's Pirate Journey

Chapter 551: Chapter 550: The Neighboring Stingmon Crashes In

A burst of white light flashed on the spikes, and several beams of white light shot out from Tesoro’s arm, the sharp spikes piercing straight through the chests of several people.

”You people, don’t just start fighting without a word. It’s hard to explain to Stella if my clothes are ruined when I go back.”

At that moment, Tesoro’s face had already changed, with a pair of huge blue compound eyes replacing his original eyes, his entire body wrapped in green armor, two giant needles extending from his forearms, and his hands transformed into an insect-like shape.

In summary, it’s the Bug-Bug Fruit, Mythic Zoan - Shiny Beedrill form.

Though the ability was directly granted, he became a unique individual. After combining with Beedrill’s power, he underwent certain changes, becoming the first Shining Pokemon Ability User.

Abandoning the original yellow and black bee colors, he now has a new green body. His current state is his Human-Beast Form, with an overall appearance somewhat similar to the Stingmon from the neighboring Digital World.

Compared to regular Pokemon, Shining Pokemon usually have no difference other than color. In most cases, their only distinction is their color.

A very few Pokemon might possess some special abilities alongside their color mutation, like the Red Gyarados which has higher intelligence, while the yellow bear beside Perona has no special abilities.

Tesoro’s Shiny Beedrill was a random mutation received after his ability was granted, resulting in more potent bee venom.

According to Queen’s research, Tesoro’s venom contains an unknown component that damages human blood clotting factors. If pierced by his bee needle, one would inevitably bleed to death without a special antidote.

The white light just now was his Flight Needle missile, one of his long-range attack methods.

Though he is merely the CEO of Hundred Beasts Fruit, he’s never neglected training his body. After the incident in Shampodi Islands, he increasingly realized the importance of strength.

His talent isn’t bad. According to the original timeline of his life’s trajectory, his childhood was that of an ordinary child from the slums.

From the age of 12 to 16, he was a street delinquent, then from 16 to 19, he worked hard to make money, with a physical condition only fit for a normal person.

Up until the age of 26, he lived as a slave in Mary Geoise. Seizing the chance after the Tiger event, he escaped, and three years later, Tesoro grabbed the Gol-Gol Fruit, taking his men and starting to develop.

By the age of 32, he was somewhat famous, and at 41, the fruit had awakened, making him the Golden Emperor, controlling vast economies.

His main training period was from 29 to 41. Though he had missed the golden period for development during this time, he still managed to train the fruit to the awakening level.

Whether it’s Haki or the fruit, fully training an ability to its peak can prove one’s strength, and the training of the Gol Gol Fruit is a testament to his talent.

Though Tesoro’s early life didn’t change, from the age of 19, his life’s trajectory took a completely different path. The moment Stella died, his heart had already died, and although he was still alive, he was merely a soulless shell.

In this world, the power of the heart is very important. A negative person will only become more depressed, like Moriah, who turned into a slob.

Crocodile was the same, but prison life clearly woke him up.

Currently, Stella is alive and well. This gives him more expectations for the future. Wanting to protect Stella, he can’t always rely on others’ strength, so in this timeline, Tesoro gained more systematic training.

Though he has many matters to handle and also doubles in his entertainment industry, it’s much better compared to the original timeline.

Now he has assistants and a world-class team to analyze the company’s trajectory. He only needs to steer and intervene in critical matters without attending to everything personally.

Structured training with hope and future is far more promising than the decadent slave days. Currently, Tesoro isn’t a top-tier powerhouse, but he’s not weak, and ordinary people can’t do anything to him, especially after gaining the ability granted by Arceus.

However, after Tesoro dealt with this group, an unexpected incident occurred.

Bang! Bang!

Two muffled sounds came from the side, but they differed from regular gunfire, sounding more like paper confetti, and a large number of paper-like objects started flying in the sky.

”Baccarat, do you still have enough stamina?”

”A few more uses won’t be a problem.”

After acquiring Metronome, she also started physical training, and now she can use the ability more times with shorter release times.

As she spoke, Baccarat began to wave her fingers, which was the wondrous use of Luck-Luck Fruit combined with Metronome. Originally random, Metronome’s skills, with the help of the Luck-Luck Fruit, produce the skill most favorable to the current situation, indirectly assessing the situation.

After her fingers moved a dozen times, a barrier suddenly appeared above their heads, and those ribbon-like objects began to fall rapidly. They weren’t ribbons but iron caltrops.

Many around were injured by these iron caltrops. In the blink of an eye, none were left around Tesoro except for them, either killed by those objects or escaped farther to safer areas.

After all the iron caltrops disappeared, Baccarat’s Protect also dissipated, and then a meteor hammer-like object suddenly flew from a distance.

Though Tesoro flicked it away with a wave of his hand, the feedback force on his arm suggested that this enemy was different from the previous ones.

”Hand over the fruit.”

The newcomer was Diamante, who had rushed over after receiving information from Monet.

For the sake of reputation, he chose to clear the scene first, and those iron caltrops were his handiwork. He had eaten the Float-Float Fruit, becoming the Flag Man, capable of turning any object he touched into a flimsy, cloth-like state without changing its material.

Those paper confetti were made from iron caltrops of high-density metal. After releasing the ability in the air, they achieve this effect, and the meteor hammer operates on the same principle. Meanwhile, his goal was simple: to leave the Gol Gol Fruit behind.

Clearing the scene was to avoid too many people seeing the situation here. Although the Donquixote family wasn’t that famous yet, not many were familiar with its officers, and such precautions were merely preventive.

”The fruit? If you want it, just take it.”

As he spoke, Tesoro tossed out a golden peach, but upon seeing it, Diamante’s face turned uglier, for although the fruit was still the same fruit, it now had an obvious bite mark, meaning the Gol Gol Fruit had already been eaten.

”Bastard! Sword Snake Sword!”

Seeing that the Gol Gol Fruit had been eaten, Diamante attacked Tesoro without another word...
