Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Well, if you need pure gold, I can make it for you, but can you return the ring to me first?"

His tone seemed very nervous, and anyone would think there was something wrong with him.

"Huh? You bastard dad, you actually want to make that kind of thing! Without the equipment of the entire island and your mother's help, you can't even... Woo." Asie blocked her mouth, but it was too late.

"To be honest, I hate it most when people lie to me."

"I really can make pure gold again, but it requires time, manpower, equipment, and materials. The original data has been destroyed, and everything has to start from scratch." He hasn't touched the equipment for more than a hundred years. Although the knowledge is still there, it has become a lot less familiar.

"As for the ring..."

Asier looked at Olga and told the truth.

"Olga suffers from an incurable disease. The reason I studied the manufacture of pure gold is to use the power of pure gold to suppress the progression of her disease. Without the pure gold on the ring, Olga's body would not last long."

This made Olga, who was still struggling, stop. She had never thought that Asier was studying pure gold for her.

When his wife passed away, Asie was sadder than anyone else, but he had to pretend to be calm in front of his daughter and not let her know the truth so that she would not put pressure on him.

What develops next is a segment of deep affection between father and daughter, after which even Olga becomes a little nervous. These people are pirates, and for ordinary people, pirate is not a good word.

Even if she was treated as a trainee on the ship, her goal was to find a chance to escape.

Will pirates consider other things when they see something they like?

"What's wrong with her?"

Since the purpose is to alleviate the condition, then solve the condition first. According to Quinn, pure gold is just a core, and other problems can be solved first before installing the core components.

Right now even John hasn't been found, so he could accept waiting a little longer. The most important thing was that Kaido fell in love with this little girl Olga because she was so brave, and Arceus was attracted by Arcie's skills.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces. If he can even make something like pure gold, then making some simple things should not be a problem for him.

"South China Sea Emperor Fever, originated in the South China Sea, is a serious disease that cannot be cured even if the king of a country gets it..."

"Nanhai Emperor fever?"

"Yeah, that's why I said..."

"That's not a terminal illness. It was cured many years ago."

Upon hearing about this disease, Quinn said with disdain that he was a virus expert and the South China Sea Emperor Fever virus was not a disease at all in his opinion.

After all, it was conquered many years ago and the treatment plan has been announced. This shows that living long has its benefits. The incurable disease a hundred years ago has become curable a hundred years later.

After saying that, he returned to the cabin and made an injection using the medicines in the patrol ship.

"Okay, this injection will cure the disease. I am an expert in this area."

Then, he saw that the little girl who was brave enough to kidnap Kaido ran away without hesitation when faced with the syringe.

"No, I'm most afraid of injections!"

Chapter 33: A Mistake

Everyone has their own weaknesses. The brave girl who dared to hijack Kaido was frightened by a syringe and ran around the ship. Of course, in such a small environment, she couldn't escape. Before she could run three steps away, she was grabbed back by Sha Yina.

"Come back here. Although the South China Sea Emperor Fever has been conquered, it can still be fatal if not treated in time. Quinn, give her an injection."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm a professional in this area."

After holding Olga's arm, his robotic arm automatically completed a series of disinfection tasks, and then the syringe was inserted directly into the shoulder.

"Kid, you are the one who dared to kidnap Brother Kaido. It's just a syringe. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Looking at Olga with tears in her eyes, Quinn really couldn't understand where she got the courage from yesterday. Although she probably didn't know Kaido, the size difference was enough to discourage most people.

Then he handed her Kaido's bounty order. The patrol ship already had this kind of thing. Pirates usually wouldn't panic when seeing the bounty order, but would instead regard it as a capital for showing off.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million..... 1.2 billion??!"

Counting the long string of zeros on Kaido's bounty order, Olga's expression was a little distorted. Bailey has been depreciating over the years, and its purchasing power is constantly declining. 1.2 billion Baileys more than a hundred years ago are far more valuable than 1.2 billion Baileys today, not to mention the fractions behind them.

The higher the bounty, the stronger the pirate is usually. This is common sense on the sea.

Although the bounty for this pirate is determined based on a combination of his strength and how dangerous he is considered by the government, strength and the amount of the bounty are basically proportional.

The father and daughter who had lived in the stomach of a sea king for more than a hundred years were finally on the pirate ship less than a day after they escaped.

But strictly speaking, they were rescued twice by the Beasts Pirates. Arceus and Kaido helped them escape from the stomachs of the Sea Kings, and Quinn solved the South Sea Emperor Fever.

Of course, the latter is not a difficult thing to do. As long as you find an island with relatively backward medical standards, you can find the corresponding vaccine.

It would be very difficult for her to escape from this pirate with a bounty of 1.2 billion. The most important thing was that Inlisabeth had betrayed him and was completely submissive to Arceus, and she couldn't be pulled away. This directly cut off the possibility of her escape, especially since her father was also here.

But compared to Olga, Asier's resistance to pirates is not as strong, and his adult thinking makes him think more.

He made pure gold not for fame or fortune, but to solve Olga's health problems.

Therefore, after successfully making pure gold, he did not publicize it. He knew what consequences pure gold would cause. Although pure gold also has its side effects, such as restricting the body's development and hindering the improvement of strength.

But the long lifespan it brings is enough to drive people crazy, especially the Celestial Dragons at the top of the world. They enjoy everything in the world, and what they desire most is time. The high price of the Operation Fruit is closely related to the secret of its ability to perform immortality surgery.

Even the people on the island didn't know what he was doing. The production of pure gold was completely done independently by him and his wife. Although the people on the island helped him transport the materials, it was impossible for them to guess what these materials were used for.

Different materials are purchased in batches, such as charcoal for barbecue, sulfur for making soap, and saltpeter for making ice, but these things can be mixed together to make gunpowder. The specific proportions are... well, don't ask.

The materials for his pure gold were the same. At first, he didn't know whether these things could be made into pure gold. So the question was, who leaked the news that he could make pure gold to those pirates.

The only people who could infer his purpose from the materials he purchased and discovered that he succeeded were most likely the World Government.

This was his guess. The World Government wanted to keep the pure gold in its own hands, but did not want other ambitious people to know about it.

So they leaked the news, hoping to let the pirates handle the matter first, and then the government would intervene, eliminate the extra insiders, take Athie away, and let him make pure gold for them as a savior.

The higher the status, the more one knows, and the more one can appreciate the darkness hidden under the world government order. Of course, this is just his speculation.

It is not impossible for the World Government to destroy Alkemi with the Demon Killing Order, but in that case, they would need to find an excuse and calm down the impact afterwards. The cost is too high, so it is better to use pirates.

But they didn't guess that the destruction brought by pure gold referred to the super-large sea kings, those pirates were murderous jackals, and the person who delivered the message behind the scenes was the real murderer.

More than a hundred years have passed, and those people at that time must have grown old and died. Now he just wants to live a good life with his daughter. His position is not very important. With his skills, he can always find a foothold.

This is near the Calm Belt, and now they can only follow Kaido and the others. However, he is still very opposed to his daughter becoming a pirate. He wants to use the research needs as an excuse to let Olga assist in his research.

But that's all for the future. Now Arceus and his team followed the life card provided by Prilt and continued to track John.

On the other side, Spandine was slamming the table in his office. The incident in the South China Sea had been settled by the navy, and Zefa had another piece of experience on his resume, but it had nothing to do with Spandine because the people he left in Branch 277 had died.

Those pirates did not surrender directly to Zephyr's fleet, and Spandine's undercover agent hit the corner of the window while unconscious due to Kaido's domineering power, so he did not wake up at all, and then died from the navy's unknown AOE firepower.

The caliber of the artillery from the headquarters' warships is far different from that of the Sihai, and there is a huge gap in firepower intensity. Although Zefa is known as the "non-killing" admiral of the navy, that means he will not kill someone he has captured with his own hands.

He was not pedantic and would not let his soldiers suffer huge casualties in order to capture the enemy alive.

Afterwards, Spandine sent people to various prisons to interrogate the pirates, but no one knew what had happened. The only news he knew was that Prilt had fought with a big pirate.

Some time later, Spandine made another call.

"Follett, did you find that bastard?"

"Not yet, Chief Spandine, but the Life Card is getting more and more responsive."

"Catch that bastard. I'll let him know what happens if he betrays me."

Looking at the half life card in his hand, Spandine was very angry, but he didn't know that this life card was not Prilt's life card at all.

Chapter 34: Teach You to Dance

When Prilt was arrested and released as an undercover agent, it was impossible for Spandine to have no backup plan at all, so he made a life card before he set off.

If it were someone else, it wouldn't matter, they would definitely be able to create a corresponding life card.

But Pruitt is the user of the Ju-Ju-Nomi fruit, and he has various materials such as human hair on his body to make puppets. What Spandine got was not the materials from Pruitt, but the materials from other people.

The life card made with outsider materials is certainly not Pruitt's. This is why there is no change in the life card in Spandine's hand even though Pruitt is dead.

The agent he called Flett had entered the Grand Line based on the fluctuations of the Life Card, but by accident, he found the right place, because the man that Flett used to make the material for the Life Card joined the real John's fleet by accident.

So Fleet failed to find Prillt, but found John by accident, which made him make a conclusion.

Prilt did betray his agreement with Spandine and fully joined the John Pirates.

"Commander Spandine, I'm in the first half of the Grand Line, in the Kingdom of Nathho. I haven't found Prilt, but the Life Card is reacting strongly. He should be nearby. At the same time, I found John here."

"That guy's fruit ability can disguise himself as someone else. It's normal that you can't see him, but are you sure it's John?"

"I'm sure there was another pirate traveling with him, who was also a member of Rocks' ship. His identity has been temporarily confirmed to be "Silver Axe"."

In an inn in the Kingdom of Nathho, Flitt carefully reported what he had discovered. The two remnants of Rocks gathered together, which was not good news for him.

According to his investigation, they have stayed in the Kingdom of Nathho for a long time. If Prilt's previous information is true, then Rocks' treasure may have a close connection with this place.

The areas of the countries along the Grand Route vary, and the unique geography has formed an island culture. Some smaller countries can be traveled throughout in one day, while there are also large countries with vast lands and large populations.

The Kingdom of Nathjo is a big country in the Grand Line. Its total area is about half of Alabasta. It has a mild climate and it is spring all year round.

It is also one of the member states of the World Government, so Fort has to take the local conditions into consideration when doing things here.

"Captain Spandine, should we ask for help from the nearby branch..."

"Idiot, if those people in the navy knew about this, wouldn't all this be exposed?"

"But the threat posed by this group of people... The Kingdom of Nathu is a member of the government, and it would be difficult to explain if something happened."

"They haven't done anything yet. Keep observing. I will ask for help. With this treasure, my future in the World Government will be clear. You will definitely benefit from it."

"Yes, I understand."

As a CP agent, it is quite dangerous to be on the front line every day. His ideal is to become the boss of the office and just give orders.

The merits brought by Rocks' treasure are enough to do such a thing, and according to his investigation, John has been waiting all this time and does not look like a pirate at all.

Although the Kingdom of Nathu is a member of the World Government, the World Government does not care much about the member states' own affairs and may not necessarily help when they are in trouble. However, when this country cannot pay the Heavenly Gold, they will be expelled from their status as a member state.

By then, this country will be completely abandoned by the navy and become a lawless place, so the member states will try their best to maintain this status.

Being a member state does not necessarily ensure the safety of citizens, but being a non-member state is definitely more dangerous.

The World Government only wants Heavenly Gold, but doesn't care where it comes from. The Woka Kingdom where Kaido was born relies on foreign wars to obtain Heavenly Gold.

The situation is similar with the Kingdom of Nathoo. Their country's fleet even has the status of legal pirates. This is why the Kingdom of Nathoo does not prohibit pirates from entering the country. This country is called the Gray Kingdom, and many pirates will sell their stolen goods here.

In order to protect their own interests, there are even unspoken rules in the pirate world.

Flett settled down disguised as an ordinary smuggler, and Arceus and his companions followed the guidance of the life card and began to gradually approach here.

John's previous position was also constantly changing, and Arceus and his companions also had to change direction from time to time. From the time they set out to now, the sailing time has exceeded three months.

The doldrums are not an obstacle for them. The power unit made by Quinn and the outer wheels allow them to move at high speed in the doldrums. The sea kings do not pose a threat to them, which saves a considerable amount of time.

At this time they were still using the patrol boat. During this time, Asier and Quinn got along very well. It was a pleasant exchange between the two sweet friends.

Because Asir had only been able to eat meat for more than a hundred years, he had an extraordinary love for fruits and vegetables. This was his first contact with Quinn.

Moreover, his talent in materials science and chemistry is top-notch in the world, even Quinn cannot compare with him. The two top scientists had a very friendly exchange here. The most important thing is that Assier did not fight or compete, but praised Quinn's business every day, which satisfied his vanity.

Of course, there was a more crucial reason: there was finally someone to do odd jobs on the ship with him.

Compared to Athie, Olga's life was not so happy. More than a hundred years had passed, and she had not studied for more than a hundred years. As a scientist, Athie knew the importance of learning, so he began to give her extra lessons.

Kaido really wants Olga to be a trainee on the ship. He is more serious and responsible than Rocks in this regard. Rocks lets her do whatever she wants, but Kaido will focus on teaching and watch Olga do physical training every day.

Jin and Sha Yinna are practicing on their own. They have already started to learn the domineering aura, and the rest is to hone their skills. After they have mastered the current domineering aura, they will learn the higher level of domineering aura.

According to the reaction of the life card, they were getting closer and closer to the target, and Arceus, who had completely absorbed the evil slate, also called out Sha Yina.

"Master Holy Beast, what's the matter?"

"Can you dance?" Sha Yinna didn't quite understand why Arceus asked such a question, but she still answered.

"I know a little bit. It's the sacrificial dance of the Lunaria tribe in the past. If you want to see other dances, I can learn them."

"No, I just want to teach you a special dance, the battle dance - the sword dance."

Chapter 35: The Future Style of Beasts

After a Pokémon is transformed into an ability, its original skills will gradually awaken as the user's "fruit development" progresses, and Arceus can speed up this process, or allow them to learn some skills that they cannot learn on their own and need to master through a move machine.

Sword Dance is of this type. Compared to those original damage skills, in this real world, combat is neither a turn-based game nor has a specific damage value. The inherent enhancement of one's own attack power is the most effective thing.

If sword dance-type skills can be taught on a large scale, then the future style of Beasts may change dramatically. The cadres of other pirate groups make threats before the battle, but the people of Beasts are dancing together.
