Tsuru looked at the two Pokémon eggs Dak pointed out. One was a yellow egg with some brown spots, looking quite ordinary. The other was blue-gray, also not particularly attractive.

"What's special about these two?" Tsuru glanced at the eggs without much interest, focusing instead on Dak, who had recommended these two.

"Do you wish for Gion-san to have a partner for battle, or a family member for companionship?"

Dak didn't answer Tsuru directly but posed a question to her instead.

"Of course, I hope this little one can grow quickly and then be of help to her."

"That's why I recommended this egg to you," Dak said, not surprised by her response but not being too direct, "These two, one billion Belly, the rest are much cheaper."

"Is that so."

Tsuru understood immediately. 

Same eggs, being expensive must have their reasons, maybe the species is special, or the egg itself is special.

As for the price of one billion Berries, it's not low, but for Tsuru, it's also not too high.

"You said you don't know exactly which Pokémon will hatch from the eggs before they hatch, right?"

"Indeed, I don't know what kind of Pokémon these two eggs will hatch into. At most, I can guess a few species that are more likely based on the color of the egg, but I can see through the potential of these eggs, which is also my ability as a breeder."

"I see. How does the egg bought by Hawk Eyes compare to these two in terms of potential?"

Tsuru tried to get some information out of Dak.

"Sorry, no comment."

Dak, of course, wouldn't tell Tsuru the truth.

How could he say something even Mihawk himself doesn't know? 

Most importantly, telling Tsuru how does it benefit the Magical Breeding House?

"Alright, let me see."

Tsuru nodded and crouched down to examine the two eggs closely, "May I touch them?"

"Of course, different eggs have different textures. A skilled breeder can even determine what kind of Pokémon is inside an egg by touching its shell," Dak explained, "We usually recommend eggs based on the client's identity and expectations."

"Pokémon are creatures that will give their all for their companions. If you choose an egg with lesser potential and you expect it to become strong, it will strive to meet your expectations. But its potential is what it is; no amount of desire can change that. It might even harm itself in the process or become depressed and develop psychological issues."

"We don't want to see that, so I suggested these eggs to you. Beyond that, I have no other motives. I hope you don't overthink it."

The experience of Usopp in Water 7 is still vividly in Dak's mind, serving as a clear example.

When an ordinary person who can only rely on hard work meets a group of both talented and hard-working companions, with such a distant goal, the one under the most pressure will definitely be the ordinary person.

Moreover, Usopp is not just anyone; his father is Yasopp, the sniper of the Red Hair Pirates, who also has talent.

Still, Usopp felt inferior and said, "I can no longer keep up with your strength, and I will only hold you back." This led to his desire to leave due to the issue with the Going Merry. Then what about those Pokémon with no special traits?

Dak rambled on to Tsuru, who listened patiently.

Of course, Mihawk's situation was an exception, Dak hadn't reacted when Mihawk made his choice.

Because of this conversation, Tsuru's view of the Magical Breeding House began to change.

"Will you, in the future, become enemies with the Marines or the World Government?"

Tsuru paused, then turned her head to directly ask Dak.

She changed her initial plan of consulting with Sengoku before probing further. Influenced by Dak's words, she chose a direct approach.

"The stance of the Magical Breeding House will always remain neutral. The only people we would consider enemies are those who are insincere towards Pokémon."

"Tsuru-san, please convey a message to Fleet Admiral Sengoku for me. The appearance of Pokémon will herald a new era, one that will surely be better than the Great Pirate Era. Those who cannot keep up with the times are doomed to be left behind."

"Imagine, if every civilian could have a Pokémon, what reason would pirates have to harm them? Most civilians deserve the trust of Pokémon, but most pirates do not. Water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. In the future, the greatest power in this sea will belong to the ordinary people, not the pirates, nor the Marines."

"This is beyond doubt. In this era, protecting civilians, maintaining your honor and justice in their eyes, is to secure your position and authority in the new era. You can take this as advice. I believe Fleet Admiral Sengoku, despite his faults, knows what to do."

"I also advise you, if you choose to raise them, treat them well, like your children. If you mistreat the Pokémon you've chosen and we find out, no matter who it is or their stance, Marines, pirates, Shichibukai, World Government, Revolutionary Army, Celestial Dragons, anyone, we will make them wish they were dead. We have all the time in the world to seek revenge. So, it's best not to let the World Government research them."

"These words may be unpleasant, and you can choose not to believe them, but I still hope you and Gion-san treat this child well. You'll find they are very lovable creatures."

Since Tsuru had asked openly, Dak chose to respond candidly, first clarifying their neutral stance.

This means the Marines won't be the only clients of the Magical Breeding House; their enemies could be as well.

If you don't cooperate with the Magical Breeding House, don't blame us if you're defeated by your enemies later.

Then, using Pokémon and the new era to make the Marines understand:

As long as you cooperate with the Magical Breeding House and ensure the safety of the civilians and their Pokémon, you're essentially on the ship sailing towards the new era. Your position in the Marines in the new era can be secured.

Lastly, a warning to the Marines:

Don't hand over Pokémon eggs to the World Government for research following their orders, or you'll be pushing the Magical Breeding House into an opposing stance. Consider whether the Marines can withstand the retaliation from the Magical Breeding House.

This conversation is virtually a comprehensive dialogue with Sengoku through the air, giving him an accurate judgment and positioning of the Magical Breeding House.

Although these are just grand words for now, whether Pokémon have such epoch-making potential will soon be demonstrated, and Sengoku will have to reconsider what he said.

"Thank you for trusting the Marines enough to train Pokémon. We won't disappoint you. The World Government has no right to take away our soldiers and family."

Tsuru, after listening, nodded and picked up the yellow egg, standing up to shake hands with Dak. "Although I can't represent the Marines to negotiate with you now, based on my understanding of Sengoku, I believe he will make a wise choice. If I want to come to the store again, what should I do?"

Dak handed the Pocket Token to Tsuru and explained its function to her.

"Alright, then one billion Berries, I will have it delivered to you tonight."

"Thank you for your patronage. Please take good care of this child. If any emergencies arise, feel free to come directly to the store to find me."

Dak nodded.

As Tsuru walked towards the store's entrance with the egg, Dak suddenly remembered something and decided to give Tsuru, or rather Sengoku, a piece of significant news.

"By the way, Tsuru-san, last week, in addition to a pleasant transaction with Mihawk-san, the transaction with Newgate-san was also very satisfying. The members of the Whitebeard Pirates really like the partners they chose."

"As you know, although the Whitebeard Pirates are pirates, their style is very trustworthy to me. They are fully qualified to become partners with Pokémon, so I had no reason to refuse the transaction, right?"

"If Newgate-san successfully raises the Pokémon from that egg, then we will enter into comprehensive cooperation with the Whitebeard Pirates. Perhaps by then, each member of the Whitebeard Pirates will have a Pokémon."

"Such a scene really makes me look forward to it. Please ask Fleet Admiral Sengoku for me."

"Is he looking forward to it?"
