"That's a move!"
Having witnessed the brief battle, Bon Clay couldn't contain his excitement.
He remembered being taken down by that same move, plunging into that dark space and knowing nothing until he woke up in the store.
If a Warlord of the Sea could be taken down instantly, and so could he, then that means...
The display of Shadow Clone by Darkrai also left him shocked; if it were him, he wouldn't know which one to attack.
At this point, Bon Clay had no idea what Haki was.
In the East Blue, a place considered minor, just being a Devil Fruit user was deemed powerful, and Logia users were virtually unbeatable, with no concept of Haki.
"Amazing, right? Now you see why I said our Pokémon have limitless potential?"
"Yeah! So powerful. If every Pokémon could eventually reach this level... Wait, Dak, are you really planning to hand them over to others?"
Initially excited, Bon Clay suddenly remembered their Nursery's mission and looked worried.
"Are you concerned that others might turn against us with such power?"
Dak immediately understood Bon Clay's worries.
"Well..."
"Firstly, although the little ones haven't hatched yet, that doesn't mean they can't feel our presence. Since they're from us, they'll naturally have a good impression of us and won't want to harm us."
"Secondly, our Pokémon Nursery isn't just about this one transaction. We offer many services and products for Pokémon that only we provide. Even if someone wanted to harm us, they'd have to consider whether other customers would agree."
"Lastly, I plan to establish a transcendent force. By that time, we should be the most powerful organization in the world. I don't believe anyone would foolishly seek their own destruction."
Dak smiled, sharing his thoughts with Bon Clay.
It was only then that Bon Clay began to grasp the future path of their Pokémon Nursery.
"What kind of force?"
"The Pokémon League, heh. That's still in my imagination for now, a bit far off. Let's not rush. Once our Nursery grows a bit more, with more people, we can establish it."
Dak thought about the Pokémon Leagues in various regions of the Pokémon world, feeling a mix of excitement and anticipation.
Not just the Pokémon League, but Pokémon Academies, regional competitions, Gyms, Pokémon Centers... He planned to establish all these, though they were still just ideas.
Right now, their Pokémon Nursery was simply too poor.
"Should we try to recruit Mihawk? He's a powerful force."
Understanding Dak's vision, Bon Clay offered his suggestion.
Their Pokémon Nursery was indeed in dire need of both established talents and those with potential.
These individuals didn't necessarily need to be powerful in combat, but they should at least possess some unique skills.
"Hmm..."
Dak frowned, pondering the suggestion.
He was uncertain whether Mihawk would join them. Initially, he thought Mihawk wouldn't join any organization, as his character was to be independent. However, later, Mihawk formed an organization with Buggy and Crocodile.
Moreover, that was Mihawk eleven years later. Currently, at the prime age of thirty-two and at the peak of his youth, his pride was evident. Convincing him to become an employee would be exceedingly difficult.
"Let's try?, Yeah."
Dak nodded, agreeing to give it a shot.
Who knows? Mihawk, having been instantly defeated by Darkrai, might become highly interested in their Pokémon Nursery and decide to join.
It didn't matter if he didn't. Dak believed his sales pitch had already sufficiently piqued Mihawk's interest in purchasing a Pokémon egg.
Under such circumstances, Dak and the others returned to the store.
Then, they had Darkrai release Mihawk from the dark void.
Mihawk fell to the floor from the dark space, waking up in less than a second.
About to draw his sword, he realized his strength was suppressed. Coming to his senses, he looked around and remembered what had happened.
"Devil Fruit ability?"
Mihawk looked keenly at Darkrai.
Indeed, his curiosity about Pokémon had reached its peak, bewildered by the power that made him suddenly fall asleep.
He also confirmed that the man before him was a legitimate businessman, only interested in commerce, not in any nefarious activities, or he could have killed him.
No, even now, he could.
Mihawk shifted his gaze to Dak, beginning to take seriously the young man who had commanded that powerful creature.
"Not exactly, that's the power of Pokémon. Most Pokémon possess special abilities, like emitting electricity or breathing fire as basic skills. Affecting weather or altering terrain is also not difficult."
Of course, this depended on the Pokémon's type and skill set.
But there was no need to elaborate on that.
"Interesting, you've convinced me. I'll take all those eggs."
Mihawk's lips curved slightly, speaking with an air of pride.
"Well, there's no rush for that. I wonder, Mister Mihawk, are you interested in joining us?"
"No interest."
Mihawk immediately declined Dak's offer without a second thought.
"Alright, maybe you'll be more interested after learning more about our Pokémon Nursery."
Dak nodded, unsurprised.
Mihawk knew very little about the Pokémon Nursery at this point, not even aware of the concept of other worlds, making it hard for him to consider joining.
"However, sorry, we have a rule here. For the first transaction, you can only choose one Pokémon egg to take with you. We need to ensure you have the capability to nurture a young Pokémon to healthily mature. After confirming this, we can consider more transactions."
Dak shook his head, rejecting Mihawk's idea of buying all the eggs.
Even the world's strongest man had to abide by their rules; why would Mihawk be an exception?
Truthfully, Dak was worried. Mihawk didn't seem like someone capable of caring for children. Could he be a good "PokéDad"?
However, Dak didn't dwell on this, continuing to convey to Mihawk the same message he had told Whitebeard: their Pokémon Nursery would firmly stand by the Pokémon, doing everything to protect them.
Appealing to emotions and reason, with a hint of threat and request, it was all about hoping for the Pokémon to be well-treated.
Mihawk, although aloof, wasn't foolish and understood the intention behind Dak's words, hence he didn't feel displeased.
"So, please choose your partner."

Capítulo 16: Chapter 16
At this moment, only eight eggs remained under the tree.
One had been sold to the Whitebeard Pirates, a purple-grade egg costing one million Berries, which used up all their funds.
Another was left for the employee, Bon Clay, to care for, also of purple grade. Whether it could become Bon Clay's partner would depend on the little one's attitude after hatching.
The remaining eight eggs consisted of one white, three green, three blue, and one purple.
Dak quietly watched Mihawk approach the eight eggs.
Although Mihawk wasn't the first customer, he was the first to enter the Nursery of his own accord.
"This one."
Mihawk didn't seem like the type to get caught up in indecision.
He casually pointed at a deep yellow egg, then turned to look at Dak.
"One hundred thousand Berries."
Dak glanced over.
Perfect, Mihawk, a chosen one, had picked the only remaining white egg.
Truth be told, green and blue eggs were of average quality, and even though the probability of purple-grade eggs was higher than that of white ones, white-grade eggs could potentially be problematic.
Dak wondered if Mihawk would come after him with a sword if he found out about this.
"..."
Though a flicker of confusion passed through Mihawk's eyes, he didn't bother to ask too many questions.
Like Whitebeard and his crew before, he found it odd that such potentially powerful creatures were sold for so little.
However, Mihawk didn't consider that perhaps only this egg was priced so low, and others might cost more.
Looking down, Mihawk was momentarily puzzled.
He never kept money on him.
Despite his strength and renown, if he were wealthy, he wouldn't need to live in someone else's leftovers.
Typically, it was the foolishly brave bounty hunters who provoked him, whose heads he would then exchange for money to buy supplies until it ran out.
"If you didn't bring money, other items of equal value to one hundred thousand Berries are acceptable. We can exchange them ourselves."
Dak offered a solution upon noticing Mihawk's awkwardness.
After hearing this, Mihawk nodded and handed Dak the dagger from his neck.
"Enough."
Not only was it enough, but it also exceeded the amount.
According to the system's evaluation, the dagger was worth no less than eight hundred thousand Berries, though its material was unknown.
"Hmm."
Mihawk nodded, holding the deep yellow egg and turning towards the door.
"Wait, this is a medium for entering our Nursery, a Pocket Token. Simply hold it and open any door to enter our Pokémon Nursery. We welcome your next visit."
Dak handed Mihawk a jade token, which he held with a slight daze.
After all, Dak seemed to be speaking of something quite extraordinary.
Mihawk, however, showed little interest, categorizing it as some sort of Devil Fruit ability or Pokémon power, then walked out with a swagger.
"What do we do now?"
Bon Clay watched the door close again and asked.
"Tell the eggs a bedtime story, then rest. It's getting late."
"A story?"
"Yes, you're responsible for your egg. Just talk to it about anything, your past experiences or sights seen, to build a connection."
Dak acted as if it was the most natural thing.
Although it felt odd for Bon Clay to speak to an egg, it wasn't something he couldn't accept.
About half an hour later, after completing their daily tasks, Dak and Bon Clay returned to their rooms.
"Let's tackle the main quest tomorrow. First, let's see how to spend those 1000 Poké Coins."
Dak opened the Poké Mart, looking for items that could directly enhance his combat capabilities.
Mihawk's speed today was so fast it was invisible to the naked eye, meaning if Mihawk had intended to kill him, Dak would have been in real trouble. This instilled a sense of urgency in Dak to strengthen himself.
[Evergreen Force (Seed)]: 100k Poké Coins
[Psychic (Seed)]: 100k Poké Coins
[Aura Guidance (Seed)]: 100k Poké Coins
The most direct upgrades were these special powers from the Pokémon world. However, it seemed he could only purchase the seeds of such abilities, with each seed costing one billion Berries, and every level upgrade requiring 100k Poké Coins, which was undoubtedly expensive for Dak at the moment.
Cheaper options were auxiliary training items, usable by both Pokémon and humans.
Aside from these, there wasn't much else that could enhance combat ability. The Poké Mart mainly offered items related to Pokémon, with only a few functional consumables applicable to humans.
"1000 Poké Coins could buy a not-so-low-level Pokémon, but I already have Darkrai."
After much deliberation, Dak found almost nothing useful in the Poké Mart for his situation.
[Poké Spin]
Unsure where to spend but itching to do so, Dak opened the forbidden wheel.
One hundred Poké Coins per spin, exactly enough for a ten-spin.
The system is tempting me! With gritted teeth and gleaming eyes, Dak decisively opted for a ten-spin draw.
[Congratulations on receiving]
[Berry Gift Pack x1]
[Berry Mixer x1]
[Armament Haki Lv.1]
[Random Pokémon Egg x10]
[100k Belly]
[100k Belly]
[Three-Dimensional Enhancement Level 1]
[1m Belly]
[1m Belly]
[New Moon Feather (Bound) x1]
"Keep 200k Belly, convert 200k into 200 Poké Coins, then check my personal panel."
Dak was exhilarated.
His first ten-spin draw was of exceptionally high quality, possibly a marketing strategy by the system, but he made a huge profit from this round.
[Dak]
Identity: Pokémon Nursery Manager, Novice Breeder
Abilities: Strength Lv.2, Agility Lv.2, Stamina Lv.2, Breeding Lv.1, Conqueror's Haki Lv.10, Armament Haki Lv.1, Talent Detection
Pokémon: Darkrai (Lv.100)
Balance: 200k Belly, 200 Poké Coins
Special Items: New Moon Feather (Bound), Berry Mixer
"Ha, a significant boost in combat capability!"
Dak raised a fist, which turned pitch black, showcasing his newfound strength.
If one disregards the max-level Conqueror's Haki, Dak might still be a small fry in the Grand Line but would already be quite formidable in the Four Seas.
He could easily claim a few million Berries as bounty.
The only downside was, despite his physical enhancements, he still lacked combat skills and experience.
Opening the Berry Gift Pack scattered a hundred Berries across the bedroom floor, featuring a variety of species only found in the Pokémon world.
However, there were no exceptionally rare or powerful Berries among them, mostly common with a few rare ones, but none with significant effects.
Dak had Darkrai move the Berries to the crafting room.
