Arceus' Pirate Journey
Page 144
Although the native version on his chin has achieved three harvests a year thanks to its harvesting characteristics, this did not satisfy him. On average, he could not even produce one root a month, so he took the time to develop the plants here.
Whether it is soil, fertilizer, or climate, everything here is superior to the plantations outside. According to theoretical data, the degree of replication here will be higher.
It is now August of 1502, the hottest time of the year in Wano Country, and his bananas are just ripe.
Yamato and the others were on holiday today, and he didn't have to go to class. CP0 also quieted down, and he slept a little longer than usual as Ammonite didn't disturb him. When he was about to pick bananas, he saw footprints on the ground, which gave him a bad feeling.
"A pair of clogs... a large footprint, three women and one man... this combination..."
The shape and depth of footprints can roughly estimate gender and age, but in this world there can be a large error.
These small footprints look more like four children. Children from Wano Country would never run around here. There are flags outside, so the people who come here are most likely from the Beasts Pirates.
Almost no one among the beasts wears wooden clogs. Yamato, under the care of Arceus, also wears other shoes that fit his feet better. Only Maria wears wooden clogs because she is a native local and her mother is also from Wano Country.
The foursome with Maria...
The bad premonition in Quinn's heart grew stronger, and then he trotted all the way into the plantation. Sure enough, he saw Yamato and the others here, as well as the banana trees that had become bare.
At the same time, he also heard devilish remarks.
"Yamato, is it okay for us to do this? These bananas should be grown by someone else."
"It's okay. The banana plantation is not here, but on the other side. These should be what's left after the transplant. You see there's no one around, so they must be unwanted. Let's not waste them.
But the ones here taste better than those outside, is it because they are just ripe?"
Naturally ripened bananas are much more delicious than bananas that are picked in advance and then ripened by themselves. However, even though the tropical dragon version of bananas has a longer shelf life, there is no way to wait for them to ripen naturally. They still have to be picked in advance for transportation.
Only those who live near the place of origin can experience the taste of natural maturity.
"No, I think the bananas here are just sweeter than those outside."
Jack made his own comments, and when they reached Quinn's ears, he felt like a knife stabbing himself.
"Eh? Uncle Quinn, why are you here?"
"I... This is my plantation. I should be the one asking you this."
There were many emotions hidden in Quinn's words, loss, anger, helplessness. If it was an outsider, he would definitely throw that person into the mine for labor reform, but the problem was that he seemed unable to touch the people here.
The leader is Yamato at first glance. This thing is just a few bananas. He is angry about this matter and might be the one who is mining.
He now felt like an agricultural student whose graduation project had been eaten by someone, but that person was the principal's daughter.
"You... ate it all?" This was his experimental field. There weren't many plants here to begin with, and Quinn knew their appetites. Maria and Robin were still within the normal human range.
Although Maria eats more due to physical consumption, it is still within the normal range. However, Jack and Yamato are different, especially Yamato. His huge consumption requires more food to meet the body's needs.
The few experimental seedlings he had might not be enough for the other party to eat.
"No, there's still one left over there. Uncle Quinn, why are you crying?"
"Nothing, the sunlight is a bit dazzling."
Before Yamato and the others could ask why the sunlight was hurting his eyes despite his sunglasses, Quinn dragged the four of them out of the plantation.
"What's grown here is something very important. Don't come here casually in the future."
After saying that, he closed the door directly, but Yamato seemed to hear some wailing sounds.
"Did we do something wrong?"
"I don't think so, otherwise Uncle Quinn would have said it directly. But he doesn't seem to want us to stay here any longer. Let's go to another place. We only have half a day left of vacation."
When the few little ones moved to another position, Quinn looked at the last remaining seedling and didn't know what to say. According to his plan, he could have had a good meal, but now he could only taste it. It would take at least several months to harvest the next batch.
......
News in newspapers always spreads faster than people. Although Arceus has returned to Onigashima, several other ships are still exploring or on their way back. For example, Sha Yina has already embarked on her return journey.
However, what came back first was her bounty order. A mysterious military photographer captured the scene of Sha Yinna walking out of the sea of fire. The dim background and her mask made him capture the feeling of a devil from hell.
Doro became the navy man who died heroically in the fight against pirates, and Sayina naturally became the evil ghost.
Moreover, after the appearance of the Sea Emperor that Morgans had previously hyped, the bounties on pirates under the three major pirate groups also rose to a certain extent.
Flameblood-Shayna, bounty of 5 million berries.
"Massacre of a village", attacking the navy fleet, being a member of the Hundred Beasts, the triple blessing made her bounty directly reach this amount, and even her title was changed.
"This bounty...I can't recognize that it's Sister Sa Yinna." Looking at the bounty that was newly published in the newspaper, Yamato looked at it for a long time but couldn't recognize that it was Sa Yinna.
"It's a little bit similar, but why is there no news about Brother Manderfesh?"
At this time, Robin had already returned to Sky Island, and only the three of them were left here. While Jack was concerned about Manderfesh, he also asked Yamato a question.
"Yamato, why do you only call Quinn uncle? They are obviously from the same generation."
"Well...because Uncle Quinn looks old."
......
While Jack was wondering why there was still no news from Manderfish, Manderfish also began to prepare to return, but they encountered some interesting things in the park.
"Pearlman, who is that guy? He looks like he has some skills."
"Wait, Boss, this should be a newcomer..."
Chapter 343: Big Brother, When Will You Evolve?
Unless they are robots like the Pacifist, whose mechanical chips store all the information of pirates, the navy will have to slowly look for the bounty notice when they see pirates.
Pirates are not dictionaries. Those unknown pirates are sometimes impossible to find at all. Except for those long-established old-fashioned pirates and the supernovas in recent years, no one can always call out their names.
However, pirates did not become famous only after they arrived in the Sabaody Archipelago. In addition to the pirates living in the Grand Line, more pirates came from the Four Seas. After all, the area of the Grand Line is insignificant compared to the Four Seas.
Many pirates already had a certain fame before entering the Grand Line.
Although Morgans' newspapers often exaggerate facts and contain a lot of fictional things, the essence of the matter must be true, such as the Sikaial Kingdom incident that was announced.
There are problems with the scope and details, but part of the area was indeed destroyed by the beasts.
Therefore, reading newspapers is the best way for pirates to learn about the outside world. Morgans has a strong sense of autonomy, and he will report some news that the world government wants to suppress.
The mobile headquarters and his reputation in the journalism industry mean that the world government has no way to deal with him. The World Economic News Agency is rooted all over the world. If Morgans is assassinated, the subsequent impact will be even more troublesome.
Even the boss of the newspaper was silenced, so the impact was very troublesome. Morgans would not report everything, and sometimes the world government would also use his newsbird group, so a relatively stalemate situation was formed.
The reason why Manderfesch is interesting is because there is a duck-headed pirate ship in front of you that looks like a park cruise ship.
Their pirate flag is also very special. Unlike ordinary pirate flags, there are almost no pirate elements on it. A set of knives and forks are crossed behind the duck head wearing a chef's hat.
It's just that due to the prevalence of pirate culture, any flag with a crossed object behind the pattern, regardless of whether it has a black background or not, is assumed to be a pirate flag here, so Manderfesch insisted that it was a pirate ship.
"....Found it, Brother Manderfesh, the Chef Pirates, the captain is Red-footed Zeff, a newcomer from the East China Sea, and the bounty is... 20 million, which is considered a pretty good newcomer, after all, he was born in the East China Sea."
After Roger's death, no powerful pirates appeared in the East China Sea during this period. After all, there was always Garp who would sneak back home at any time. Although Luffy was not born yet, it did not affect his periodic return to his hometown.
A max-level character visits the Novice Village, and any pirates he encounters are basically nipped in the bud.
"The news in the newspapers was just a while ago. They should have just entered the Grand Line. But we have come a long way. We are not far from Upside Down Mountain."
"The Chef Pirates, an interesting name. Their captain wouldn't be a cook, would he?"
"Uh....Boss, you guessed it right, he really is a cook."
Some captains of pirate ships have part-time jobs, such as sniper, musician, navigator, and chef. The Pirate Group is one of the few pirate groups where the captain serves as the chef.
The title of Red-footed Zhepu comes from his excellent kicking skills. The blood of the enemies dyed his boots red, so he got this title.
But now he is not the owner of a restaurant on the sea. Although his dream is to find the legendary all blue, a magical sea where all the fish from the four seas live, even his subordinates do not believe it.
He himself lived the life of an ordinary pirate, robbing passing ships, but Zeff only robbed money and would not touch water or food.
Manderfish was interested in him not because he was trying to rob Manderfish's ship, that interesting duck boat was one of the reasons, and another reason was that Zeff was fighting some sea monsters at the time.
And those monsters were very familiar to Manderfesh. The blue figures were exactly the Gyarados distributed in the four seas. Many years had passed, and it was unknown how many generations of Magikarp these Gyarados had evolved from.
Their reproduction rate is quite fast. Even the giant Magikarp near Wano Country has several generations of offspring. Due to the dangers of the ocean, the Magikarp have also undergone some changes in order to adapt to the local environment, such as evolving the habit of living in groups.
Although they are not delicious, some large sea beasts still use them to supplement calcium, and bones are also a kind of food for those sea beasts.
In order to survive better, these surviving Magikarp even began to huddle together for warmth like the mullets, and this living habit also led to another situation.
That is, the evolved Gyarados did not leave Magikarp's tribe directly, but led its own tribe to live in the sea like a lion.
The evolution of an ordinary Magikarp will cause changes in the brain and make it irritable, but the Gyarados that evolved in these waters has a similarly violent personality but still retains some rationality.
"Brother Manderfesh, that's Gyarados, right? When will you evolve for us to see?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Arceus has given you the power for a long time, what can you do to evolve."
"Get lost! I've been training hard! Who wants to practice with me today?!"
Hearing his men's teasing, Manderfisch also acted as if he was angry, but no one was scared because they knew that Manderfisch was just pretending.
As for the evolution, Manderfesh was also helpless. He felt the power, but he always felt that something was missing.
"By the way, Boss, do you want to help with that ship?"
"What can I do to help them? If he could make it to the New World, I wouldn't mind recruiting him. But now I'm not interested. Guys, let's go back!"
The expansion of the Beasts is not entirely done by Kaido alone. Anyone recognized by several cadres can be recruited under his command, but they have to report to Onigashima afterwards.
Manderfesh's ships began to return, but the experience of the Chef Pirates was not so pleasant.
Not long ago, they rushed into the Grand Line with full confidence, heading towards their so-called dream, but they were hit hard by reality just a few days after arriving here.
A man caught a Magikarp while fishing, but he almost broke the blade of his kitchen knife and failed to kill it, so he threw it back into the sea. However, not long after that, they were attacked by a "sea monster" from the new world.
This is Gyarados's revenge. If you catch a group without Gyarados, it's okay. But if you catch a group of Magikarp with Gyarados, this is usually the result.
Zeff's luck wasn't that bad, at least that Gyarados wasn't of high level, and its main fighting method was still hand-to-hand combat...
Chapter 344 Gyarados's Greetings to the Newcomers
But even so, Zeff was in a tough fight.
"Shoot! What kind of monster is this!"
The pirates of the Chef Pirates fired bullets at the Gyarados, but the flintlock bullets were extremely powerless against the curved armor of Gyarados. The scales inherited from Magikarp and its curvature, like a sloped armor, made these old-fashioned muskets ineffective.
Survival of the fittest, this is the law of nature. The descendants of the first generation of Carp King marched to every sea area according to Arceus's orders, and then multiplied and thrived in different sea areas.
The marine environment, which is different from that in the Pokémon world, has allowed them to evolve a completely new group consciousness. There are almost no Pokémon that feed on Magikarp, but these sea beasts, sea kings, and various strange fish are different. Some fish have even become the natural enemies of Magikarp.
This tyrannosaurus is carrying out its own revenge. As more and more offspring are reproduced, almost only the "pilgrimage" part of the genetic genes in their bones remains.
At certain times of the year, groups of Gyarados will lead Magikarp to the New World. Some biologists have begun studying this newly discovered strange fish.
However, no one has come up with any results so far, and that result has nothing to do with Zeff. As Gyarados dived into the water again, he became even more panicked.
"Turn! Turn with all your strength! It's coming!"
The only purpose of that Gyarados diving was to attack the ship from below in order to overturn it. Zeff knew very well that once they fell into the water, they would be at the mercy of the monster.
Fortunately, their Chef George was quite flexible. Due to its low level, this Gyarados lacked the strength to directly overturn the ship, so it needed to dive to leave enough distance for a sprint, which gave them some preparation time.
"Captain, the Grand Line is too dangerous, let's go back!"
The Gyarados that entered the water from the side scared some people out of their wits. They didn't expect the creatures on the Great Route to be so dangerous.
"Idiot, before you say such stupid things, think about how to deal with this monster first!"
Zeff jumped up from the deck and kicked Gyarados just below the chest as it rushed out of the water. An ordinary sea beast of this size could not withstand his kick at all. After all, his kick was enough to deform steel.
But the violent dragon just let out a cry of pain, opened its big mouth and bit towards Zhepu again.
"Isn't this a sea snake? What kind of species is this?"
Sea beasts also follow some biological characteristics. For example, sea dogs prefer bones, catnip is also useful for sea cats, and Gyarados looks like a mutated sea snake, so Zeff wanted to try attacking its seven inches, but it didn't have any effect.
Their fight seemed to have attracted other sea beasts, but because they were concerned about their tribe and because Zeff was a tough nut to crack, Gyarados chose to retreat.
However, after it dived into the water and left, the members of the Chef Pirates were still nervous for a long time before they calmed down.
"Captain, let's go back. The Grand Line is too scary."
Although they had heard that this place was dangerous before, the Gyarados appetizer was a little too scary for them.
"The Upside Down Mountain won't flow upstream. Do you want to try crossing the Calm Belt now? There are bigger and more terrifying sea kings in there."
The powerful current of Upside Down Mountain left these wind-powered boats helpless. Theoretically, if the power was strong enough, it would not be a problem to go upstream, but their Chef George clearly did not have this ability.
