Mavira's Collection of Stolen Goods

Chapter 73 Mavira's Collection of Stolen Goods

After defeating Mara, you can see the Snow Fairy gracefully turn around, elegantly folding her hands behind her back, attempting to bow to Ze Shu in the dignified manner seen on television.

But the undisguised joy of victory on its face soon made it lose its inner excitement.

"Narumi~!"

She turned around and was in front of Ze Shu, her eyes filled with tears, and hugged him tightly, "Nami~"

It did it.

It can now help Ze Shu defeat many powerful enemies!

Feeling the warm, cool touch constantly rubbing against him, Ze Shu could only passively endure it, repeating to himself:

"Okay, okay—"

Fangfang never expected that the usually reserved and strong Snow Child would become so clingy after evolving.

In any case, the trip to Tianguan Mountain was good. The problem with Xue Tongzi was solved, and he even successfully evolved.

And after letting the snow fairy suck him to his heart's content, he successfully made her loosen her grip.

Ze Shu slowly walked to Mara's fallen body, found a twig, and poked its cheek. "Wake up, wake up."

It poked it several times in a row, until Mara's purple face turned red, before it opened its angry eyes and glared. But then, seeing the 'phosphorus fire' condensed by the Snow Fairy, it immediately turned its face away: "Gurgle!"

Anyway, it lost!

Kill me or leave me, it's up to you!

"Who said I was going to skin you alive?" Ze Shu said with a smile.

"Goo-hoo?!" Mara turned back as she was about to leave, her eyes filled with surprise.

Does that mean it can leave?

"No," Ze Shu said decisively, then, amidst Ma Kuangla's despairing expression, he uttered two more words softly.

"Robbery."

Mara Lawen's eyes widened: "Niaogu?!"

Why does this human seem even more evil than it?!

But Marco Polo was indeed no match for Zeki.

Despite feeling wronged and unwilling, it still led Ze Shu to the place where it hid the stolen goods.

This is a very hidden little cave on the east side of Tianguan Mountain.

The "miscellaneous items" inside were piled up all over the floor.

Several colorful evolution stones were piled up haphazardly, enough to fill the entire small cave. Various items, including a large root, heart scales, insect repellent spray, several Poké Balls, and even a straight sword was casually placed in the corner.

Clearly, these were all stolen by Marco Polo.

"You know," Ze Shu said to Mara, "stealing is a very bad thing, in the human world."

He'll be arrested and thrown in jail!

Mara turned her head away: "Gurgle!"

This is Tianguan Mountain, so don't bring up the human world!

"Alright." Ze Shu sighed. "In a wilderness area like Tian Guan Mountain, isn't strength king? If you lose, you'll have to listen to me—"

Mara turned her face away again: "Gurgle!"

But this time it had nothing to say; it couldn't be stubborn.

All that could be seen was Ze Shu taking out a large package and packing away all the spoils he had painstakingly acquired over the years.

Mara maintained a composed expression on her face, but her heart was bleeding inside!

He could only stare at Ze Shu's every move with bloodshot eyes.

During this time, Ze Shu picked up a sword from the corner, turned his back to Ma Kuang La, and suddenly said, "Ma Kuang La, I'll give you a chance to attack me."

He had barely finished speaking, less than a second later, when Mara, who had been wanting to do this for a long time, raised her sharp claws, about to descend upon him from behind: "Nyocha!"

But then...

With a clang, the sword clashed with the claws, and Mara's claws were sent flying. Even her body was forced to take several steps back before she could barely regain her balance.

Marco's eyes widened in disbelief: "Nyocha—how could this human react so quickly?!"

Marco realized that the speed at which it had just swung its claws was already beyond its limit!

But why is this human still blocking my way?!

"Just as I thought—." Ze Shu murmured, looking at the sword in his hand.

He certainly couldn't react that quickly, especially since he had his back to him just now.

But as Makara's claws swung down, his hand holding the sword suddenly felt an urge to move. By simply following this urge, he naturally blocked Makara's attack before he could even react.

All of this is thanks to the sword in his hand, the Sword of Instantaneity.

A sword capable of deflecting all attacks.

Ze Shu remembered this sword.

He remembered that there was also a suit of armor that came with this sword—the [Eternal Armor].

It seems to be armor used to maintain vital signs, keeping one clinging to life and barely surviving, but there is no such armor in this Mara's cave.

In the special episode, Archie and Sedum from Hoenn were on the verge of death because they couldn't withstand the power of the Orb. They were then saved by Satchel, who was ostensibly a Team Rocket executive but was actually a Team Galactic executive. They were forced to fight each other to the death and wear the armor and sword.

Thus, a minor villain in the special episode was born—the armored man.

Upon seeing the sword, Ze Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked Ma Kuangla, "How did you obtain this sword?"

Mara tilted her head and said, "Gurgle!"

Of course it was stolen!

It was stolen from a man covered in iron three or four days ago! That man was so clumsy he couldn't outrun him at all.

Ze Shu was taken aback: "You can steal this? And in three or four days—a whole body of iron? It must be that armor."

Could the armored man have appeared yet? But wait, the Water Wutong and Crimson Flame Pine are still healthy.

Even though things are still going strong, Zeki can still see news about Team Aqua and Team Lava from time to time.

Who is the "armored man" that Nama Kuangla stole?

But regardless of who the armored man is, Sachi has definitely started to become active.

Thinking this, Ze Shu casually twirled the "Sword of Instantaneity" in his hand, then suddenly said to Marco Polo, "Steal this."

As the brush was applied, with a casual flick of Marco's claws, the "Sword of Instantaneity" stuck directly to Marco's hand.

Seeing that she had succeeded so easily, Mara's red eyes gleamed with smugness: "Gurgle!"

Never doubt the craftsmanship he has dedicated his entire life to!

"They really know how to steal." Ze Shu smirked.

Could it be that this "stealing" isn't considered an attack by the "Instant Sword"? Well, that makes sense; it's a characteristic of Marco Polo—[Pickpocketing].

When it comes to stealing, this Marco is a real genius.

The armored man whose sword was stolen must be going crazy, right? He's lost his most important sword.

Then, seeing Mara's smug expression, Ze Shu stretched out his hand: "Now that you're done stealing, give it back to me, okay?"

Marco was about to say that this was originally my spoils, but then he saw the menacing looks on Glaceon and Froslass's faces.

"Gurgle, gurgle—."

No more giggling.

It dejectedly returned the sword.

Weak Pokémon have no Pokémon status.

Markalla now understands this deeply.

Now all I can do is "spend money to ward off disaster" so that this human can leave as soon as possible. When Koma looked up, he suddenly saw that Ze Shu was still not satisfied after sweeping away all the loot and was staring at him with a strange look.

"I've discovered you're quite good at stealing. Want to work for me?"

"Gurgle, gurgle?!"

Mara was horrified. This human had set his sights on her?!
