章節 89: Chapter 89
Actually, Dak doesn't worry much about the character of these people.
After all, they are fairly familiar figures.
Sometimes Dak really admires the insight of Doflamingo and Crocodile.
Impressive indeed.
The Pokémon League wouldn't be possible without the contributions from these two.
No wonder they are leaders; their discerning and ruthless vision has chosen each subordinate well.
First, let's talk about Galdino, Mr. 3, whose record is compellingly notable.
It's hard to say whether this man is lucky or unlucky, always caught up in major events, yet he always plays a unique role, especially during the Summit War.
First, he blocked Magellan's deadly poison wave with his Candle Wall; later, at the risk of his own life, he climbed the execution platform and blocked an attack from Sengoku at a critical moment; and finally, he unlocked the seastone handcuffs of Ace and Marco with his Candle Key.
Before this, in Little Garden, he nearly annihilated the Straw Hat Pirates, pushing Zoro to the brink of cutting off his own feet.
Even without considering Galdino's incredible combat record,
Just the words Mr. 3 said as he fell from the execution platform were enough to change Dak's opinion of him.
"If I say I am here to mourn my deceased comrades, would you laugh at me?"
Although this man is mostly a coward, he has his own survival bottom line.
When Bon Clay alone held back all of Impel Down for them, Galdino thought Bon Clay was doomed to die, so he risked his life to step onto the execution platform, seizing the opportunity to fulfill Bon Clay's 'last wish' to help Luffy save Ace.
Now, let's talk about Miss Valentine, Mikita.
No, not just her, but the other members of Baroque Works too, none of them would abandon a comrade—of course, this doesn't include Crocodile, who had originally planned to send Bon Clay to eliminate Mr. 3.
After Crocodile's defeat and the disbandment of Baroque Works, when Miss Valentine, Mr. 5, and Miss Goldenweek were safe in Little Garden, they learned that Mr. 3 was being pursued by the Navy on Holiday Island and decisively left Little Garden to rescue him, only to be captured by Hina.
Coincidentally, Bon Clay had just escaped from Hina's custody and immediately returned to rescue them.
In the nick of time, Bon Clay fought the Navy to save them, and then they managed to rescue the imprisoned Miss Doublefinger, Christmas, Mr. 4, and that dog.
As for the outcome of the battle on Holiday Island, Mr. 2 and Mr. 3 were captured, and the rest of Baroque Works members escaped. Later, the two were imprisoned in Impel Down and had no chance to attempt another rescue.
As for Crocodile and Mr. 1, they were captured early in Alabasta.
Knowing all this, Dak believes that Galdino and Mikita are worth developing.
"Robin, go find these two guys, ask them if they want to join the Mystery Hatchery House."
"Eh? Don't we need to observe them for a while?"
Robin was somewhat puzzled.
Monet, Bellamy, and their sisters are just ordinary civilians, unlikely to be any trouble.
But Galdino and Mikita are different, they're from the underworld; even newcomers there might not be good people.
Who else would normally venture into such a place?
These two are not like her, being hunted by the World Government and the Navy.
"Once they're in, you can observe them more closely; I'm counting on you to pay extra attention, Robin."
"Okay."
Robin quite likes this feeling of being needed.
It makes her feel more clearly that she is a part of the Mystery Hatchery House, a companion to everyone.
"Mhm, have them lead a team each, responsible for different shifts. This will help train them. I'm going to the backstreets of Water 7."
"You're going alone?"
"Not exactly, Giratina is here."
Dak shook his head, smiling, and pointed at his shadow.
A pair of deep blue eyes appeared in the shadow, same as Dakrai's, but Dakrai is one-eyed.
Ghost-type Pokémon often have the ability to enter shadows or hide themselves in darkness.
Many ghost types can make their bodies intangible or transparent, easily passing through walls, and even immune to normal and fighting moves.
The best at this is definitely Marshadow, a master of entering shadows.
His special ability is to enter any shadow, imitate the target's actions and strength, understand their feelings and emotions, and then surpass the target.
As for Dakrai.
Dak doesn't understand why a pure Dark-type Pokémon can enter the shadow realm, which is a power Dakrai showed in the original story.
Even without Dakrai's close protection, Giratina can also enter the shadows to protect Dak.
But for Giratina, it seems he doesn't like staying in the shadows.
But there's no choice, the process of Bon Clay delivering the eggs cannot go without Darkrai's protection, and the other staff members are not comfortable letting Dak go alone, so Giratina has to endure this inconvenience for now.
Dak has finished marking the custom eggs; now he just needs to wait for Bon Clay to deliver the eggs and bring back the money to proceed with the next batch of transactions.
Taking advantage of the rare free time now.
Dak plans to go to Water 7 and recruit those unemployed into the Mystery Hatchery House, no, perhaps it's more appropriate to say into the future Pokémon League.
These people won't become core members of the Mystery Hatchery House; core members are those who hold significant power, which are the current members of the house.
The people about to be recruited will become subordinates to Bellamy, becoming part of the League inspection squad.
When Dak left the Mystery Hatchery House, he started wandering the streets of Water 7.
Finding the Franky Family was quite simple.
For example, the Square Sisters by Franky's side were very noticeable, as were Zanbai and the other unemployed hanging around the bar entrance.
There aren't many places with bars in the outer city.
Sure enough, it took Dak less than an hour to find these people.
Of course, it might also be related to the current time, at ten o'clock at night, just when these guys were coming out of the bar.
"Wow hahaha! Today, Zanbai the great also dominated the drinking table."
"What are you talking about, Zanbai, you're not that great, Tamagon was impressive."
A group of staggering people, still holding bottles, hooked arms and walked forward in the alley, heading towards Dak.
Of course, they mean no harm to Dak; they are so drunk they don't even realize there's someone standing in front of them.
But Dak didn't have time to deal with them; his gaze was drawn to the bar door where a pair of sisters were being chased out.
"Hmm, did I remember wrong? It turns out that the Square Sisters didn't have square hairstyles at this time."
Dak's gaze was mainly on Kiwi and Mozu, who currently had explosive hairstyles similar to Brook.
Speaking of which, these sisters are not bad in terms of looks and are quite pretty for women in the pirate world, with some peculiarities probably only in their long noses and hairstyles.
While Dak was pondering what to say to these people, a man came out of the bar, naturally reaching for the waists of the Square Sisters.
"You bastard, what are you doing to our little sisters?! Let go!"
Before Dak could speak, the front-running Zanbai and others immediately became annoyed.
They have good relationships with those they often drink with.
Because they are all unemployed without families and overlooked by the major shipyards, perhaps out of sympathy, the older brothers usually take good care of the young Square Sisters and do not allow other ruffians to bother them.
"Get lost."
Unfortunately, this time the ruffian targeting the Square Sisters seems not to be an ordinary person, quite strong, and quickly beat Zanbai and the others to the ground.
Zanbai and his friends are usually hollowed out by alcohol; relying on their numbers, they can bully some trashy ruffians, but if they encounter someone who can fight, they turn into softies, not to mention they are still groggy now.
These days, the news of the Mystery Hatchery House's opening gradually spread around the neighboring seas.
All sorts of oddities and trash came to Water 7 to watch the excitement, like the one currently before them.
It's worth noting that the Navy might not normally handle such matters, as since the Great Pirate Era began, the number of pirates has surged, and they barely have enough hands to catch them.
"Hey, you."
Dak shook his head, stepped forward, and even without waiting for the ruffian to speak, raised a hand and grasped the other's jaw, instantly knocking the man out with pain.
Now, Dak's strength can't compare with Darkrai, Sceptile, or Giratina.
There are hardly a few people in the entire sea who can match them.
Aside from those three, Dak's strength is absolutely No. 1 in the Mystery Hatchery House; handling such ruffian henchmen is an easy task.
"Thank you, young man."
Zanbai was startled, then leaned on the wall to stand up and thank Dak.
Clearly, this man is not ordinary, and besides necessary thanks, a little more courtesy is due.
At that moment, the Square Sisters also sobered up a bit and came over to bow slightly.
"Why do you want to be a bunch of ruffians?"
Dak looked down at the people lying all over the ground.
Those who couldn't stand up weren't beaten down; they simply hadn't sobered up from the alcohol.
"Uh haha, young man, we're just a bunch of worthless people."
If it were someone else talking to Zanbai like this, he would definitely be annoyed, but facing Dak, he could only laugh awkwardly.
Because Dak had just helped them, and they couldn't beat Dak.
As for being annoyed?
It's not that he thinks the other party is wrong, but he knows the other party is right, and he's a bit resentful because they're just a bunch of ruffians.
A bunch of ruffians who know they are worthless but just can't bring themselves to admit it.
"Then go and become a person of value."
