[News! I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived! Event!!!]
<150 Power Stones/Chapter!>
====
The battle in Wano Country raged on throughout the night, causing quite a stir. Most of the commotion occurred in the five regions outside the Flower Capital.
The appearance and participation of Hyogoro of the Flowers, Ashura, and the other samurai attracted a lot of attention.
This was beneficial for the battle. The names "Uncle Hyogoro" and "Nine Red Scabbards" inspired many hidden retainers and samurai to come forward and join the fight.
The "Plague" Queen was slain by the combined efforts of Hyogoro, Ashura, Kawamatsu, and the mid-battle arrival of Kikunojo. Both Ashura and Kikunojo were severely injured.
Other battlefields also suffered heavy losses, with thousands of samurai wounded and over a thousand killed.
Nonetheless, these samurai demonstrated impressive strength; each one could rival hundreds in the Paradise region.
The Beasts Pirates, yet to consume artificial Devil Fruits, were fewer in number and not as powerful, allowing the samurai to resist effectively. As dawn approached, Hyogoro and Kawamatsu led the remaining forces to the Flower Capital to provide support.
However, the Flower Capital was eerily quiet. By the time they arrived, Hiyori had already ascended to the shogun's seat with Denjiro by her side. According to them, Darkrai, the "Nightmare God," had already purged the Kurozumi clan members from the capital.
The group then turned their attention to Onigashima, only to find the island missing, with the sea either frozen solid or covered in leaves. The warriors, arriving too late, stood in awe at the transformed seascape.
Thus, two more deities were immortalized in Wano Country's legends: "Ice God" Lapras and "Leaf God" Sceptile.
One week after Hiyori's ascension, temples were erected for the three gods, and their stories were recorded as historical texts.
However, the accounts were riddled with inaccuracies due to the lack of firsthand witnesses to their power, leading Hiyori to write based on her understanding:
Nightmare God, Darkrai: A god with the power to make people sleep forever, silently eliminating enemies like Kurozumi Orochi.
Ice God, Lapras: A powerful, impartial god with the ability to freeze time and space, nearly killing Hyogoro and the other samurai.
Leaf God, Sceptile: A strong and compassionate god, master of nature and plants, and the best swordsman, who convinced Ashura Doji to join the fight against Kaido.
Unbeknownst to Dak, these details were not deemed necessary for him to know by Hiyori.
Subsequently, whenever Lapras visited Wano, it was avoided by the people, leading to its occasional bouts of crying into Dak's lap.
Sceptile, on the other hand, was revered as the highest samurai, surpassing even Ryuma, adored by the people and frequently adorned with flowers and berries, much to its annoyance.
Darkrai became a figure used to scare children into behaving. These events, however, were years in the making.
...
Pokémon Alliance Year 0, December 31st.
Tomorrow would mark the first holiday for Pokémon Island – New Year's Day.
Today, Pokémon Island would open its doors to the outside world. This wasn't an ordinary opening; it was an invitation extended to select individuals who understood the rules and values of the Breeding House and Dak.
The Whitebeard Pirates, Marines, Mihawk, and other significant figures had already received invitations from Bon Clay.
Neptune also expressed his desire to meet Whitebeard to explain Fish-Man Island's relocation, feeling indebted to Whitebeard's protection.
Besides these notable groups, the Revolutionary Army had planned their visit well. Karasu's egg had hatched into a Murkrow, perfectly complementing his ability to transform into crows.
Murkrow's keen hearing also made Karasu's loudspeaker unnecessary, much to his delight.
The successful hatching of Murkrow indicated that the Revolutionary Army was ready to handle a large-scale acquisition of Pokémon eggs.
Dragon had been preparing funds for this massive purchase while also targeting the World Government.
On December 31st, Dragon, accompanied by several top officers, arrived with boxes of money.
"Dak, this is the sum we have prepared for this transaction," Dragon said, gesturing to his officers who placed several large black boxes before Dak.
"How many are you planning to buy?" Dak asked, eyeing the money with a frown. The sum was enormous, easily over a hundred billion Berries.
Dragon responded, "We need 10,000 green-quality eggs and 200 blue-quality eggs, totaling 120 billion Berries."
"120 billion Berries... that's equivalent to 120,000 Pokécoins, enough to buy a Legendary Pokémon," Dak thought, tempted but cautious. "Do you realize what 10,200 Pokémon hatchlings mean?"
Handling that many infant Pokémon was no easy task. The Marineford incident was a stark reminder of the chaos it could cause. Dragon and his team had done their research and taken measures.
"We've invested 80 billion Berries in building orphanages and nursing homes worldwide," Belo Betty explained. "These hundreds of facilities, each staffed with hundreds to thousands of members, will discreetly serve as care centers for the Pokémon hatchlings."
"Are you sure you can handle this?" Dak questioned.
"Yes. We've ensured that no more than 15 Pokémon hatchlings are placed in each facility, with at least 45 caretakers per facility," Betty reassured.
Satisfied with their thorough plan, Dak agreed. "Very well, the eggs are yours."
The transaction was completed, and the Pokémon Alliance received 120 billion Berries.
