Pirates: My crew is the heroine of the 3D zone

“I see,” Wanda said, understanding. “I also respect and understand your culture.”

Even so, seeing Hancock and Marie Rose rubbing against each other more and more enthusiastically, Wanda couldn't help but feel an urge to rub against them too.

"That's enough, you two," Chen Yong'an pushed Hancock and Mary Rose aside, "You should be mindful of your image in public."

Both of them stuck out their tongues, looking embarrassed.

However, before long, 2b couldn't resist going up and rubbing her face against Chen Yong'an's.

Then came D.Va, Mai Shiranui, Tifa... one after another. The girls on the ship, just for fun, lined up and played Karucho with Chen Yong'an, a game that only lovers between humans can play.

After being repeatedly harassed by Karucho, Chen Yong'an looked at Hancock and Mary Rose with a hint of resentment.

It was those two who started this bad trend!

Before the tide receded, the group sat down at the restaurant and ordered some local specialty drinks and snacks to pass the time.

“In our eyes, you humans are not that different from us,” Wanda said to the crowd. “I am a dog-man with thick body hair, while you are monkey-men with sparse body hair. We are all of the same kind.”

We are proud of our fur, but many people also admire your sparse body hair.

“Monkey people? From an evolutionary perspective, that’s not wrong,” the angel said, “provided your genes are close enough to ours… If you don’t mind, could you provide me with some blood samples?”

"Of course, you are honored guests of the Woolly Principality."

Upon hearing Wanda's words, the angel unceremoniously took out a blood bag from his medical kit and drew some fresh blood from Wanda's arm.

After sitting for a while, the seawater outside had receded quite a bit, and the residents rushed outside with baskets and buckets to pick up the stranded big fish, shrimp, and crabs—gifts from the god Elephant.

It can be said that the fur-bearing tribe's comfortable life, free from worries about food and drink, is inseparable from the twice-daily "fire-breathing rain" of the elephant god.

Once the tide had completely receded, the group continued their journey to Duke Inuarashi's mansion in the town center.

After walking for another ten minutes or so along the road, which was a bit slippery from being washed by the sea, we arrived at Duke Inuarashi's luxurious and grand mansion, full of British style.

Chapter 564: Duke Inuarashi, and the Mink Tribe's Mission

Only Chen Yong'an and 2B, who served as his bodyguard, went to see Duke Inuarashi. As for the others, Chen Yong'an asked Wanda to show them around and give them a tour.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yong'an saw Duke Inuarashi, who was five meters tall and looked like a beagle, sticking out his tongue and drooling as he lunged at him, trying to engage in a Karucho.

At this moment, Chen Yong'an's face showed a rare look of fear.

Then he slapped Duke Inuarashi away with one palm.

Chen Yong'an's attack, which lacked any imposing aura, was of no use to Duke Inuarashi. After adjusting his posture, he landed steadily on the ground.

"Sorry, I'm not used to the way you fur tribes greet each other. Let's keep it simple and just shake hands."

Duke Inuarashi straightened his collar, revealing a composed demeanor unlike his previous aristocratic air. He grasped Chen Yong'an's outstretched hand and said, "I was impetuous just now. In short, I, Duke Inuarashi, on behalf of the Furry Duchy, welcome Your Majesty the Sun God."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. The legendary furry king is indeed extraordinary."

"Hahahaha... You too, I've heard a lot about your achievements, you're truly amazing."

After exchanging compliments, the two sat down, and Chen Yong'an clearly stated his purpose for coming to Zou.

Upon hearing that Chen Yong'an wanted to unite with the Furry Principality and seek the help of the Mink Tribe, Duke Inuarashi wore a thoughtful expression.

“I already know about your goal through some of the tribesmen who have ventured out to sea. To be honest, the fur tribe has had its own mission for thousands of years, and we have been preparing for that day to come.”

“Mission? If you may, let’s talk about it,” Chen Yong’an took a sip of the flower tea served by the maid. “Alliance and cooperation are mutual. I need the strength of the Fur Clan, so naturally I should also give the Fur Clan corresponding assistance, right?”

And I heard from Wanda that you've wanted to see me for a long time, I think it must be for something, right?

Duke Inuarashi was silent for a moment, then said, "I want you to fight an enemy for the Mink Clan."

"Who?"

"Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors, resides in Wano Country."

Chen Yong'an knew who the Mink Tribe's enemy was, but he was still taken aback when he heard this. He then chuckled and said, "Kaido, one of the Four Emperors and the strongest creature in the world? Your enemy is quite formidable."

Duke Inuarashi lowered his head and said, "Under Kaido's rule, the people of Wano Country are suffering and struggling to survive. For the sake of the people of Wano Country, I beg you to lend a helping hand."

"But that's Wano Country's business, isn't it? What does it have to do with your Mink Clan's mission?"

"In order to open Wano Country to the world," Duke Inuarashi continued, "it is the Mink Clan's mission to welcome a key figure and provide him with the necessary support and assistance."

And that day is less than two years away now... We must, before then, either subdue Kaido, who has occupied Wano Country, or drive him out of Wano Country.”

"Provide the necessary support and assistance to a key figure?" Chen Yong'an frowned. "You mean even if we drive Kaido away for you, we still won't be able to gain the Mink Tribe's power?"

“I’m sorry,” Duke Inuarashi said in a deep voice, “this has been the long-standing mission of the Mink Clan.”

"You've been saying all along that this is a character who will only appear in the future, and you don't even know who this person is or what their goals are? Isn't that a bit too pretentious and ridiculous?"

Chen Yong'an felt only an indescribable absurdity, which was beyond what an idealist could summarize.

This is utter nonsense!

It wasn't just the Mink Tribe led by Duke Inuarashi who were acting recklessly; it was the recklessness of their predecessors.

It's like the end of the world is coming, and the predecessors have no way to solve the problem, so they can only let it go and use the so-called wisdom of the descendants to clean up the mess, which is ridiculous.

Didn't they ever consider what would happen if future generations failed or accepted the status quo?

Of course, there's no need to think about it. As long as our predecessors lived their fulfilling lives, who cares about the deluge after they die?

Of course, this doesn't include things like prophecies or destinies that span millennia and are accurate down to the year, such as Joy Boy, who could solve any problem simply by appearing.

The thought of that name made Chen Yong'an feel inexplicably nauseous. It felt like all his efforts so far had been in vain. Rather than developing his power and making the world rebel against the bloodline and birth theories that weighed on him, he might as well lie down early and find a deserted island with his wives to live a shameless life.

Of course, Chen Yong'an knew that after he appeared in this world, like a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a storm, there was no longer any Joy Boy who could save the world.

If you want to change this world, the only way is through your own efforts! (The last part is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)

"A mission should be a goal that everyone knows, passed down from generation to generation, and something that everyone strives for, rather than something that only a few people know about."

I don't understand the point of you opening Wano Country to the outside world and fully supporting someone, but if your mission is simply to assist some unknown person who will appear in the future, then so be it, we have nothing more to discuss.

Chen Yong'an is not stupid. He can fight for others, provided that the other party is willing to stand with him.

This behavior of using someone to achieve one's true goals by knowing that he can save the suffering people is treating him as a tool.

There are so many countries in the world that are oppressed by the World Government, and countless people are starving. Why would anyone choose to fight Kaido and save Wano Country?

Even though Wano Country and Kaido were originally Chen Yong'an's targets.

But that was Chen Yong'an's own will, not because he was being used like a fool.

I somewhat regret coming to Zou, but if I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known how blindly loyal Duke Inuarashi and his ilk would have been.

When Duke Inuarashi saw Chen Yong'an stand up resolutely, he immediately panicked and said, "Please wait a moment!"

"Is there anything else?"

"What if I ask you to defeat Kaido in exchange for something in return?"

"Benefits? What can you offer me?"

"The coordinates of Laugh Tale, the last island on the Grand Line."

"The last island? Laugh Tale?" 2B asked in surprise. "As far as I know, isn't the last island on the Grand Line Mercury Island?"

"That's the final island that the Log Pose points to, but the real final island is an island called Laugh Tale. To reach Laugh Tale, you need the guidance of four special Poneglyphs."

This is the only attractive bargaining chip in Duke Inuarashi's hands, something that could make the emperors of the sea fight over it!

“My goal is not to become a boring Pirate King, and I have no interest in the past of this world,” Chen Yong’an shook his head. “I hope you can be more practical and not get caught up in these empty and pretentious things.”

Duke Inuarashi watched Chen Yong'an leave with 2B and fell into endless silence.

Chapter 565: The Cat Viper Boss

The conversation with Duke Inuarashi ended unhappily, but after Duke Inuarashi's reminder, Chen Yong'an began to have designs on the special historical text located in Zou.

That's the key to getting to the final island. Even if Chen Yong'an doesn't have the ambition to become the Pirate King, collecting some Poneglyphs wouldn't hurt.

It was just something I did easily.

After leaving Duke Inuarashi's mansion, Chen Yong'an whispered to the Assist Device, "Assist Device, can you scan the terrain of Zou and find the location of the Poneglyphs?"

"Please wait a moment..."

The auxiliary machine's radar flashed several times, and the invisible force swept across most of Zou, finally finding what Chen Yong'an wanted in the "tail" of the huge whale-shaped tree in the middle of Zou.

"Can't the text above the location be scanned?"

"Sorry, the distance is too far, exceeding the operating accuracy of the detection radar."

“It’s alright,” Chen Yong’an said, not minding at all. Since he knew the location, he could just have Ada Wong make the trip.

Infiltration was one of her specialties.

Thinking of this, Chen Yong'an immediately called Ada Wong.

"Hey?"

"It's me. Are you free now?"

“Of course,” Ada Wong said, glancing at D.Va and the others who were having a great time playing with their new bunny girl, Carrot. “How did your negotiations with Duke Inuarashi go?”

"The fur tribe has its own mission and can't help us."

"Oh, so what are your plans?"

"Yes, go back to the ship first, and I'll talk to you when you get back."

“Okay,” Ada Wong hung up the phone, said goodbye to the others, and left the group, returning to the Lexington.

When D.Va and the others returned to the ship, they were accompanied by a cute little bunny girl.

A little bunny girl with long rabbit ears, covered in snow-white fur, and a round, fluffy rabbit tail behind her.

She exudes an air of naivety that suggests she would still help count the money even if she were sold.

Facing Chen Yong'an's gaze, D.Va automatically introduced herself: "Let me introduce you, her name is Carrot, she's a bunny girl~ Isn't she cute?"

"Hello, Captain," Carrot said, suppressing his urge to harass Chen Yong'an and Karuqiu, and waved to Chen Yong'an in greeting.

"How did she get here?" Chen Yong'an asked.

“Carrot said she wanted to see what a ship looks like, so I brought her here to take a look,” D.Va reached out and ruffled Carrot’s hair. Being a rabbit lover, she found it hard to refuse Carrot’s request.

"Hehehe~" Carrot grinned as her hair was ruffled, her long rabbit ears swaying happily. "Is Mei here? Are you free? Is Lin here...?"

Quite cute.

“Okay, you can stay for one night if you like,” Chen Yong’an was soothed by Carrot’s smile that he couldn’t help but smile back.

Despite being cured, Chen Yong'an never forgot how ruthless Carrot was beneath her cute exterior.

This person is capable of becoming the future king of the fluffy duchy!

Carrot was even happier to receive permission to stay overnight. Forgetting D.Va's warning on the way here not to talk to Chen Yong'an about Karucho, she turned into a blur and pounced on Chen Yong'an.

But Chen Yong'an still managed to avoid it; he wasn't a Fu Rui fanatic, nor did he want to become one.

Carrot was a little unhappy after being rejected by Karucho, and her cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish.

She hasn't been with a human male, Karuqiu, yet!

However, Carrot quickly put all of this behind her. Led by D.Va, she toured the Lexington, making a series of exclamations of someone who had never seen anything like it before.

The Zou Furry Principality is heavily guarded by the elite [Knights] of the Fur Tribe, who prevent outsiders from invading the White Whale Forest.

Using her ability to erase her presence and spraying air freshener to eliminate her body odor, Ada Wong swiftly moved among the branches, using her infrared perception to avoid hidden stakes radiating intense heat. In the heavily guarded White Whale Forest, she moved as if she were in an empty field.

Using her infiltration skills, Ada Wong quickly approached the giant whale-shaped tree in the middle of the forest.

When she was less than a hundred meters away from the whale tree, Ada Wong suddenly felt the aura of a powerful being, which made her quickly hide in the lush canopy and hold her breath.

Then Ada Wong saw a large cat, over five meters tall, round, with a majestic mane and a mouthful of fangs, appear not far ahead.

"What's wrong, Boss Cat-Belly Snake?" asked one of the accompanying members of the martial arts group, whose face was patterned like a leopard's.

“I think I smell a snake,” the king of the night, the cat viper, sniffed the air. “There’s a very dangerous venomous snake nearby.”

"How can snakes be considered dangerous?"

“Pedro, don’t underestimate snakes!” The cat viper leader glared at his subordinate with a warning look. “It might appear silently behind you and give you a fatal bite!”

The leader of the cat viper couldn't help but tremble when he thought about how his companions used to throw cucumbers at him to scare him when he was young.

You must never be careless when dealing with snakes!

Pedro glanced back but found no trace of snakes.
