Everything on Zou is still continuing, and Perona, who ca to Zou with her adoptive parents, really likes the living environnt of the Fur Race. The fluffy Fur Race suits her cute points, especially those bear Fur Races, though the downside is that they all can speak.
She still prefers fluffy creatures that can’t speak, like her own bear outfit back ho, but this ti the bear outfit didn’t co to Zou with her.
Everything on Zou continues as usual. During the ti Setsuna has not yet left Zou, Hichugiskhan, on the pretext that she has to learn how to manage Zou, has Setsuna and Zeraora always by her side, a slight response to Setsuna’s nesting dolls.
Before long, Setsuna also found the returning Pedro and Jebo and others.
"Pekoms is fine, by a stroke of luck, he joined soone else’s pirate crew. I’ve been asked to tell you not to worry."
She had previously inford Pekoms’ parents, and they had nothing to say about their son’s choice to venture out but did ask a bit about the others’ situation.
And since Pekoms went out with Pedro and the others, he naturally had to be inford, but there’s good news and also bad news, the latter being conveyed by Hichugiskhan.
"Jebo, your brother Bepo he..."
"Bepo? What happened to Bepo?"
A slightly tall white bear Fur Race with a tuft of black hair on his head asked anxiously.
"Earlier, so of the Firearms Team left Zou to observe the situation of the Sea. Bepo secretly hid in a basket, and they didn’t notice him, so he accidentally drifted away..."
The Fur Race left Zou mostly due to the influence of others. Two years after Inuarashi and Nekomamushi left Zou, Setsuna also secretly left because of dissatisfaction.
When Pedro decided to go out to sea, Pekoms chose to follow, but Bepo was really too young then, so Jebo didn’t take him, and as he followed his brother’s footsteps, he accidentally got lost.
"Did he take a Life Card?"
"We’re not sure about that..."
Fur Race mbers who leave Zou need a Life Card to find their way back. Setsuna once couldn’t find her way ho because she didn’t have a Life Card, let alone Bepo now.
Finally, the Nokes Expedition Team had a new goal, continuing their previous goals while also planning to find Bepo. Whether they can find him is left to chance.
However, due to previous incidents, Pedro left behind all mbers who couldn’t control the Moon Lion, having underestimated the dangers outside before.
"Pedro, I suggest... your expedition team should change its na."
"Huh? Why?"
"The pronunciation is a bit like Rocks. I suspect your high bounty is associated with the World Governnt."
A bounty of 382 million Belly isn’t weak in the New World. This bounty is even higher than Setsuna’s, though her bounty can’t increase because Zeraora takes most of the bla.
Although Lucario’s close combat is strong, most of the ti others can’t approach Setsuna. She only needs to provide long-range fire support, but if soone does get close, they’ll find their judgnt was wrong.
She is an archer, and there’s a big difference between archers and firearms soldiers. A gun only needs minimal training for even the old, weak, won, and children to fire those old flintlock guns.
Shooting range is an advantage of guns, and when facing opponents who advance close, firearms soldiers are very troubled, but it’s different for archers. Don’t think that archers are weak in lee because they’re ranged fighters.
Since ancient tis, archers have been the elite of the troops. Drawing a strong bow is much more tiring than wielding a blade. Archers picking up lee weapons can be even stronger than infantry.
It’s just that infantry can be ford quickly, while a Divine Archer takes ti to train, and no one wants to risk these elites in lee combat.
The bow and arrow are Setsuna’s strengths, but lee combat isn’t her weakness. Just that with Zeraora’s speed, enemies rarely get the chance to engage her in close combat.
Hence the Navy’s intelligence lists her rely as a mascot, with a bounty quite ordinary, on par with Pierman, a Mandfeish deputy.
Even Shaina’s deputy Emmalyn has a higher bounty than hers.
But Pedro had a significant bounty due to the Moon Lion’s enhancents. They can’t set the bounty by normal standards; it must be according to the enemy’s strongest form.
Of course, Setsuna suspects Pedro’s high bounty is probably due to soone’s hard of hearing.
The spelling of Rocks and Nox is sowhat similar, and although the governnt tries hard to conceal the existence of Rocks, even new-generation Navy Vice Admirals don’t know the na, but Kaidou, being a remnant of Rocks, naturally tells his people about past events.
"I quite like this na..."
"It’s just a personal suggestion. If you don’t change it, it’s no big deal, since you’ve already been marked anyway."
Then she began advising Pedro on what to watch out for overseas. She’s spent much more ti mixed overseas than Pedro, who’s been out less than a year.
She knows much better than Pedro what places to be cautious of and which people to avoid.
After that, Setsuna and Zeraora spent so ti with Yamato and them on Zou, then left under Hichugiskhan’s slightly wistful gaze. In all likelihood, they’ll return every few months, or she might return when the Elephant Lord reaches near Wano Kuni for rest.
It was sothing she communicated to the Elephant Lord before leaving. As a monster that has lived for thousands of years, the Elephant Lord doesn’t get lost in ocean currents like ships; it has a unique ability to discern direction.
Pedro also set out to sea again after resting, along with Jebo. He had no issue with Setsuna becoming the new Duke, and in fact, he originally planned to stay on Zou for a bit longer.
But he noticed Hichugiskhan seed to have intentions of dragging him into the managent, so he resolutely chose to continue his sea adventure.
...
Taking advantage of Zeraora and Setsuna’s wedding, the Beasts Pirates secured many new businesses, with so happy and others not so much. Those who successfully closed deals were naturally delighted, but so weren’t as pleased.
For example, Umit, known as the "Deep Sea Current," due to his control over special shipping routes, had almost monopolized the New World’s underworld shipping lanes. Others had shipping routes, but they couldn’t compete in speed and safety.
He earned quite a lot when the Beasts transported things, but recently things have changed. Over the years, the Belly has been steadily devaluing, and as the currency devalues, the price of many things has risen.
This is especially true in the Underworld, where prices outside might only increase by a few thousand Bellys, but here they directly multiplied several tis.
Most people had no way to counter such monopolistic thods, but the Beasts were different. They could transport most things themselves. Originally using Umit for the transport of only so secretive small items.
Since he raised prices, the Beasts chose to go it alone...
