Arceus' Pirate Journey

"......"

......

Inside the Tree of All Knowledge, there were roars of artillery fire outside and a fire had already started on the trunk, but when the scholars ran inside, they found that the place was safe and sound, and a group of strangers were packing up books.

They didn't even ask who these people were, but directly joined the team sorting the books.

This was the scene Sauro saw when he bent over and squeezed in through the door.

"Lord Arceus, all the scholars and the giant are here now."

"Very good, you don't have to stop what you are doing, but your next choice will determine your fate! As you can see, the World Government's Demon Killing Order has locked onto this place. You and the information here are what they want to destroy.

No one can save you except us, and we are pirates!"

His calm tone, enhanced by his power, spread throughout the Tree of All Knowledge and reached the ears of all historians.

"We will not interfere with your exploration of history, but we need all the information you have discovered. Anyone who is willing can leave with us.

As for those who don't want to, I'm sorry, but we don't want to attract the attention of the world government right now. Painless death is the only thing I can give you.

We will leave as soon as we have sorted out the information here. Before that, make your choice, live or die."

Although they are still sorting books, many people have undergone changes in their hearts. No one is not afraid of death, but some things are more important than life.

When faced with desperate situations, they can risk their lives to rescue data when they are on the verge of death. However, after having the hope of survival, their determination to die will also dissipate a little.

They already have something in common with the pirates, they are all criminals of the World Government, so many of them have decided to leave with the Beasts.

"Sir, I have a question for you."

Klopa walked up to Arceus. Although he was curious about why these people were following Arceus' orders, now was obviously not the time to ask questions.

There are many historical relics here, and these young scholars are also hope in his eyes. He does not want them to die here, but at the same time, he does not want to cause turmoil in the world.

He just wants to explore history, not subvert the world.

Verbal promises may not be credible, but at least they can convince many people.

"what?"

"You took these materials away to save our scholars. Do you want clues about ancient weapons? Please tell us the answer."

"I just want to know some historical information. As for the so-called ancient weapons, you don't have to worry about that. I'm not interested in that.

Because in my eyes, the so-called ancient weapon is nothing more than a child's toy, and its power is nothing compared to mine."

Chapter 238: Flower-Flower Fruit and the Land of Giants

On the one hand, he looked down on the power of ancient weapons. Whether it was creating creatures comparable to ancient weapons or using his own military force, there were many ways to replace such things.

And when it comes to the whereabouts of ancient weapons, Arceus may be much clearer than these historians, accurate to the name.

"Old man, you'd better stop thinking about those things. Don't you think your injuries are more fatal?"

Arceus' answer was beyond Cloba's expectations. It was the first time he heard someone look down on the power of ancient weapons. While he was still thinking about this, Olga poked him in the shoulder.

Although Spandine's shot missed, it still hit him in the body. The good news was that it did not damage the main blood vessels and internal organs. The bad news was that the bullet remained in the body and the wound was still bleeding.

Influenced by Assie, Olga has more respect for scholars. O'Hara has become an archaeological holy land not just in recent years, it was also the case during Alchemy's time.

She still didn't want these scholars to choose to die here. In fact, Kloba didn't want all of them to die here. They had just explored some superficial history, and the huge kingdom was still just a shadow. The truth of the historical text had not yet been cracked.

Discovering history personally is what every historian wants to do. The World Government has forced them into a dead end. If they want to preserve these materials, the pirates in front of them have become the only ones they can rely on.

He just hoped to get a reason to make himself feel at ease. After all, the questions asked at that time were meaningless and the other party could just lie.

However, Arceus' words made him a little confused, and Olga's poke accidentally touched his wound, and the pain from the wound also made him come to his senses.

"I understand. But if you have any problems in the future, please come to me and don't embarrass those young people."

"Those things are not difficult for you at all. Ship's doctor, take care of his wounds."

"Coming, coming right up!"

Although the Beasts Pirates did bring a ship doctor, the doctor was also working as a laborer and moving documents. When he heard the order, he dropped the documents in his hand and ran over.

However, Cloba became even more excited when he saw the ship doctor's actions.

"No, I'm fine. I can still hold on. Go and rescue the information!"

He thought it was a huge waste that a laborer who was moving materials had to treat his injuries, and in his panic, a lot of blood flowed from the wound.

"Doctor, you should take a good rest. I'll do this."

Looking at Klopa's appearance, Robin grabbed him, crossed his hands and activated his fruit ability. Arms appeared on the bookshelf and transported the books down like a relay.

Parahuman, the Flower-Flower Fruit, can grow a part of one's own limbs on any tangible object

In this regard, her efficiency alone is comparable to that of dozens of people. However, what happened next was not quite what she expected. In the past, because of the ability of her fruit, she was always regarded as a monster by the people on the island.

These scholars also have to take some responsibility for this matter. It is okay that ordinary residents do not know about Devil Fruits, but these scholars have experience and it is impossible that they have never heard of Devil Fruits. However, no scholar took the initiative to explain this matter to the residents of the island.

In the West Sea, Robin's ability can cause fear in others, but for the pirates in these New Worlds, people with special abilities are already commonplace. Not only are they not afraid, they are even happy and envious.

"What a beautiful little girl, your ability is really convenient."

"The kids in the West Sea all have devil fruits, why don't I have this luck..."

For pirates, one ability means more possibilities. The strength of each limb summoned by the Flower-Flower Fruit is equal to that of the original body. If a person with strong physical skills eats the Flower-Flower Fruit, his enhancement will be multiplied exponentially.

On the handrail of the stairs on one side, Yamato slid down like a slide.

"Is this your fruit ability? It looks very interesting."

"You...you don't find it scary?"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just the power of the fruit. The other powers I've seen are all about transforming into animals. But it would be nice to be able to transform into one of yourself."

If she could create another version of herself, she could let the clone train with Kaido on her behalf, and then she could do other things.

Yamato is very outgoing and asked Robin all kinds of questions. However, Robin now rarely communicates with people of her age. After all, the children on the island treat her as a monster. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Arceus looked at Sauro. Those scholars had been dealt with, and now there was the giant in front of him.

"Sauro, what's your decision?"

"How do you know my name..."

"Haguwal D. Sauro, your name has been put on the wanted list by the Navy, so what are your plans?"

"...Originally I wanted to go back to my country, but from the looks of you guys, you won't let me leave like this. I also don't feel comfortable with Robin and the others leaving with you pirates.

If you can accept my identity as a former navy officer, then I will leave with you."

Ever since he found out that Kuzan and Sakaski were involved in the Demon Killing Order, he knew that his power would definitely not be able to break out.

"But... can you really leave here in front of the navy?"

He has been staying deep in the island and has rarely been seen, and the navy at sea has not discovered him yet.

According to the original timeline, he only exposed his target when he was trying to escape with Robin, which attracted his former friend Kuzan, and it is the same now. With his size, as long as he gets close to the edge of the island, he will definitely be discovered by the navy. Time is bound to be a big battle.

It might not be a good outcome for these scholars to follow these pirates away, but at least they would not die immediately under the gunfire.

Originally, he had no interest in the blank hundred years, but now the strong reaction of the World Government has aroused his curiosity. He wants to follow these scholars to see what exactly made the World Government destroy an island.

If his entourage leads to their exposure...

"That's not something you need to consider. We just happen to be short of a giant tribe."

His goal is not Sauro, his character makes it impossible for him to be a pirate, his goal is the giant country behind him.

In connection with the Land of Giants, there may be people there who want to go out to sea. This kind of thing is not uncommon among the giants. As long as they don't join the BIG MOM Pirates, the other giants will not care what the giants do.

Chapter 239: The Destroyed Refuge Ship

The culture of the Giants is very special. Due to the plan that Carmelo had planned with the World Government, there are many more Giant Vice Admirals in the Navy.

However, the Giant Pirates of the Giant Clan also have a great reputation in the Country of Giants. There are only two or three giants in the Country of Giants, and everyone, whether they are from Elbaf or not, has heard of the legends of those giants.

For example, Yorozuya Waterfallbeard is known as the hero of the giants, and Charlotte Linlin's bulimia attack as a child led to the death of this old giant, making her an existence hated by all giants.

Buggy was able to kidnap five young giant mercenaries. It is not difficult to kidnap a few giants as long as the conditions are right. It just requires an introduction, and Sauro can become this introduction at this time.

According to the original plot, if he had chosen to leave at the beginning of the Demon Slayer Order, he might have still had a chance, but because of Robin, he gave up that slight chance.

With these scholars in his hands, he didn't think Sauro would do anything, and no one could do anything under his nose.

With the help of the power of the Robin Fruit, the books in the Tree of All Knowledge were quickly collected.

Sauro also became the biggest porter. Several scholars made a large bag using the remaining table pieces and other items in the tree and placed a large number of books inside.

“Don’t talk too much and don’t ask any questions. Just follow us. As long as you don’t run around, you won’t be discovered.” Olga took the lead and walked out of the Tree of All Knowledge. Her own illusion blocked the view of the outside world.

"Lord Arceus, I leave the defense to you, but where are we going?"

"There are refugee ships to the west and a navy fleet to the east. We just need to evacuate from the north." He then moved the barrier he created. Under the cover of the barrier, no artillery shells could hurt this place.

From time to time, shells would fall on the barrier and explode, but to the people inside the barrier, it was just a firework.

"Hey, hey, hey, big idiot, hurry up and catch up, you almost got out of the illusion!"

The scholars of O'Hara were merely shocked that Arceus could protect one side from the gunfire, but they were far less affected than Sauro, who knew very well what the Demon Killing Order meant to the navy.

From decades ago to now, the Demon Killing Order has been issued three times. Rocks, Barrett, and O'Hara were the targets of the three Demon Killing Orders.

Even a monster like Barrett couldn't escape the firepower of the Demon Slayer Order, so Arceus' behavior stunned him.

...

Arceus blocks the artillery fire, Olga interferes with the vision, and after they leave, the shells will clear their traces.

Shortly after they left, the Tree of All Knowledge fell to the ground under the bombardment of artillery fire.

The wood was completely turned into powder by the subsequent artillery shells before it could be completely ignited, and the Library of the Tree of All Knowledge that had stood for hundreds of years was destroyed here.

Watching the big tree fall, many scholars shed tears. That was the place where they had struggled for half their lives. Even if all the information was taken away, the memories of the past had disappeared.

After reaching the coast, they all flew up under the influence of electromagnetic force. After the initial shock, they also looked at O'Hara below.

No longer prosperous and now in ruins, this holy land of history has become history today.

"Mom..O'Hara is gone..."

The mother and daughter who had been separated for six years reunited, but their home had disappeared.

"It's okay, mom will accompany you in the future..."

"It's okay, Robin. It's a blessing in disguise that we can leave there safely. Come on, like I said before, laugh. Hehehe..."

Sauro comforted Robin, after all, this was his new friend these days, and his devilish laughter also attracted Yamato's attention.

"Godfather, are all giants so strange?" Sauro's laughter is much more devilish than Kaido's, which makes Yamato, who sees the giants for the first time, a little puzzled.

"That's just an isolated case, but don't imitate that weird laugh, and don't imitate your father's laugh either. I don't know how they make those noises."

...

Although demonic, Sauro's laughter eased the scholars' emotions. Except for Robin, the expressions of ordinary people changed a lot. It is worth mentioning that they did not take the original historical text away, but only took the rubbing copy.

After all, the historical text would not be damaged by bombing or burning, and those agents had already confirmed the existence of the historical text.

In the subsequent screening by the Navy, it would be strange if this piece of historical text disappeared.

After reaching a certain height, they headed towards where the ship was hidden. Sauro was still using his devilish laughter to comfort O'Hara's people, but soon he could no longer laugh.

From high in the sky, one could clearly see the refuge ship sailing into the distance, but the next moment, the refuge ship exploded.

The artillery fire below never stopped, but O'Hara's scholars were all silent.

Some of them are alone, but many have relatives on the refugee ship.

Under the bombardment of heavy artillery, the refugee ship disappeared on the sea. It was impossible for an ordinary person to survive such a violent explosion.

"How could it be...Isn't that a refugee ship?!"

"The Navy...are those Navy people crazy? Haven't those agents already screened everyone?"

Sauro's expression gradually became dull. The reason for killing the scholars and destroying O'Hara was that they had committed a serious crime, but there were only civilians on the refugee ship, and they did not let anyone go.

"Is this... the justice of the navy?" At this moment he fell into deep self-doubt. Arresting criminals and maintaining peace on the sea were undoubtedly the right actions, but at this moment, these were completely different from the navy in his mind.
