Someone sold fake drugs
Perhaps there are still remaining members of theirs in Four Seas and first half of Grand Line, but within all the area of influence of Big Mom in the New World, not a single person related to them can be found.
Perospero is working especially hard this time, and one could even say he is putting his life on the line.
So, in order to survive, they have to find a way to leave the New World. The headquarters and the die-hard members seeking revenge have already been wiped out, leaving only a scattered few.
To gather what they needed to escape, almost everything that could be sold was sold, including the formula of the anesthesia. The Organ Dealing Assassination Group used this prescription to capture many targets, including but not limited to various demi-human creatures and exotic beasts.
But when the drug powder dispersed, both King and the owner of the pharmacy were still standing there unharmed.
For King, this small dose of anesthetic is nothing. As a Lunarian, he has a high resistance. Moreover, his body developed a high resistance to drugs in the research lab, so it's hard for this kind of drug to affect him.
The most important thing is his mask. It's not an ordinary mask. Since he has to wear it all the time, he naturally wants to make himself comfortable. King's mask is made of special material, not only is it comfortable, but it is also able to filter harmful gases to a certain extent.
It's extremely difficult to find fabric that has both of these features. In the end, the fabric was obtained by processing the new plant cultivated by Queen with Berry seeds.
With these two conditions combined, their anesthetic had no effect.
But the pharmacy owner next to him was different. She quickly grabbed various drugs from behind the counter and mixed them together before stuffing them into her mouth, directly neutralizing the effect of the anesthetic.
"You need extinct herbs, right? I still have some leftover seeds that could be grown. Take me out of here, and those things will be yours."
"Deal, but do you really dare to go with me? Your captain was defeated by Boss Kaido."
King recognized the other person's identity. SInce the shop owner's mask seemed to be made of something similar to a facial mask, the quality was clearly not good. So, due to the explosion of the shell just now, her mask had broken.
It was Nightin, the ship doctor of the World Pirates.
"As long as you're not a lapdog of the World Government, it doesn't matter." For members of the World Pirates, even though they lost to Kaido, he still let them go.
What really changed everything was the rebellion of the World Government's secret agents and their subordinates.
Byojack had no choice but to order the members of the World Pirates to leave, but the World Government did not let them off even after capturing World.
Due to their association with the World, they all have high bounties on their heads. But without World's strength, their lives have become more difficult.
Therefore, Byojack ordered everyone to go into hiding and regroup when World appears again. In the meantime, their task is to protect themselves and accumulate as much wealth as possible.
Joining the opposing pirate crew after losing a pirate battle is not uncommon, in fact, it is quite common. Most pirates would assimilate valuable people after defeating their opponents.
She believes that few people can match her knowledge of herbs, and even other pirates would not harm her. Moreover, due to them planting moles in her crew, she also had a strong dislike for the World Government.
She had been living on this island for some time, mainly because there were some rare medicinal herbs here.
The herb she mentioned as being extinct was also something King needed, after all, he had found one of the plants that resembled Acier's description.
As for why Nightin wanted to trade with King, she had a clear understanding of her own strength. If it was a 1v1 or a group fight, she had some confidence, but 1vMany was not feasible, and those two cannons did not seem like they could only launch anesthesia bullets.
"Ba*tards...those guys actually sold fake drugs!"
This was his thought at the moment. The previous formula had already been confirmed to be effective, so the problem now must lie with the new drug they found.
However, he didn't have time to go after those "fake drug dealers". Everyone was an adult and had to take responsibility for their actions. Since they launched the attack, it was reasonable for King to retaliate.
King immediately transformed into his Beast Form, and his tail curled around Nightin before they flew into the air. Then, he launched his own attack.
"Isn't that Boss King? Why is he fighting?"
"Who cares why, it's all contributions! Charge! Do you want Mandrell to keep showing off in front of you?"
Mandrell is currently regarded as the person with the strangest luck within the Beasts Pirates. He is also the first non-officer to obtain a Devil Fruit ability. Although they don't have anything to say about the fair selection process, it doesn't mean they don't want the abilities.
Unless there is an absolute disparity in strength, pirates will not be afraid of fighting as those types of people would not choose to go out to sea and become pirates.
The presence of King in a battle represents not danger, but contributions. Many pirates immediately dropped what they were doing, picked up their weapons and charged forward.
Looking at these people recklessly charging over, some of the pirates sneered with disdain, not intending to join them in the battle. They simply gathered up the things left behind and pushed a small cart towards the ship.
Only those who aren't newcomers in Beasts Pirates know that King only uses his Beast Form when he thinks that his opponent wasn't worth him using his full strength. King's figure in the sky was obviously clearing out the small fries, and by the time they got there, the battle would already be over.
There aren't many complex factions in the Beasts Pirates, but if we had to name one, the Arceus Cult would be it, whose doctrine can be simply summarized as believing that Arceus can grant them everything.
This was also the explanation for Zeraora's lightning power to outsiders. After all, being a Mink, this kind of strength was somewhat overpowered.
Rather than participating in a battle where they weren't of use, it was better to find a way to please Arceus. For example, their small cart not only had daily supplies, but also a stack of books, which were Arceus' daily pastime reading material.
The diverse islands have given rise to various local customs and traditions, as well as many novelists and comic writers.
As long as an island was prosperous, it had its own culture, and some works could even be sold worldwide, such as "Sora: Warrior of the Sea", a serialized comic strip in the World Economy News Paper.
Days at sea were boring, and sometimes reading comics was a good way to pass time.
It's worth mentioning that Queen was also very interested in this comic, mainly because he could tell at a glance that the prototype of the villain character was that guy, Judge. This seemed to satisfy his disdain for Judge in his heart.
