Arceus' Pirate Journey

Of course, this is an exaggeration. Teaching sword dance does not mean teaching someone to dance ballroom dance step by step. The clearance stone slab emerged, and a power belonging to Arceus entered Sha Yinna's mind.

Then her thoughts entered a special space, and a phantom identical to herself appeared in front of her. The phantom mechanically repeated an action, and the way the power worked was also displayed in front of her.

This is a special learning space. Everything here has nothing to do with the outside world. When Arceus teaches a skill alone, his thoughts will be pulled into this space. This is the power he regained after the Evil Face Slate recovered some of its power.

Otherwise, he should have taught them some new skills a long time ago. This way of teaching would also consume some of his own strength, but the loss would be lower than directly transforming the devil fruit.

It can only be used when imparting skills and cannot be used as a training space. The power of time and space is something he only mastered in his prime.

Sha Yinna didn't know how long she had been studying. When she opened her eyes again, the sun had climbed above the horizon and the morning sun was shining on the deck.

It was night when Arceus asked her to go out. It seemed that at least seven hours had passed, but as far as she could remember, she seemed to have studied for a full seven days.

"How about it? Let me see the effect of the sword dance."

The learning process will only end in two situations: learning the skill, or automatically leaving the external body when it reaches its limit. With the physique of the Lunalia people, the limit will never be reached in seven hours, so Sha Yinna must have mastered this skill.

"Yes."

The body performed the movements in memory, and several sword-shaped shadows appeared around the body surface, and then merged into the body again. The whole stage took about seven seconds.

"Do you feel anything?"

"During the sword dance, the body cannot make other movements, otherwise it will be interrupted. However, I think it's because I'm not proficient enough. If I become more familiar with it, I can solve this problem."

These are some minor problems she noticed while using it. It can be said to have the same effect as a block of iron. An ordinary person's body cannot move when using an iron block, but someone who is skilled enough can move while maintaining the state of an iron block.

The phantom that appears outside the body when the sword dance is released is also a kind of "Qi". If done properly, this Qi should be able to combine with the external armed color domineering to form a special defense method.

The fruit ability is combined with domineering, which is a very reasonable way to develop moves.

The learning space is only responsible for letting them learn, but they have to rely on themselves to master the skills.

“What about the effect?”

Sword Dance: Physical attack level increases by 2, but it is not clear what this increase by 2 means, and Sha Yinna herself cannot explain it clearly.

"This... Lord Holy Beast, I don't know either. How about asking Quinn to help?"

She could feel the increase in strength, but she didn't know the specific effect. The Navy and the World Government did have ways to test the power of Taoism, but no pirate knew how to do that.

Why look for Quinn? Because Quinn had fought with the unenhanced Sha Yinna once, and he could feel the change more clearly.

"Go find him. It should be almost over."

Jin on the side was also in the same state, and it was obvious that he was learning other skills.

Quinn, who had just woken up, received his first bad news of the morning. Because he had mastered a new skill, he was asked to judge the increase ratio.

At first he protested, demanding equal status as a ship's doctor, scientist, helmsman, navigator, and fighter.

Arceus felt that what he said made some sense. They were all on the same ship and should not be treated too differently. So he used the reason of accelerating the growth of his bananas by using the harvest-inducing properties to make Quinn agree to this matter voluntarily.

"Come on, I'm ready, don't hit me in the face, don't ruin my handsome face!"

"Brother Quinn, pay attention to your smile. A handsome face should be smiling." This is from Asier, who is familiar with Quinn. The two have reached a consensus that Quinn thinks he is handsome.

Although Asie and Olga are physically older, they both chose to ignore the more than a hundred years they spent in the stomachs of the sea kings, otherwise Kaido would have to call Olga an old woman.

"Master Holy Beast, can I kick both of them into the sea?"

"Calm down and pay attention. Asier can't withstand your kick. Quinn can't swim. If he really falls, you will have to rescue him."

Half of the people on this boat are users with special abilities. Although Athie and Olga can swim, they obviously cannot drag a person of Quinn's size. The same goes for Yin Lisabeth.

If Quinn falls into the sea and Arceus doesn't help, Shayna will have to rescue him herself.

"Hey! Don't kick me, woman! Kick here. My hand is made of special metal. You kicked it here last time. Only the changes on it can compare the results. Do you want to use me as a force gauge?"

Quinn clearly felt that Sha Yinna wanted to take revenge, which was not so bad after several months of sailing. Although she would put pressure on him with words, her actions were different.

But Sha Yinna obviously holds a grudge, and this is simply an opportunity for personal revenge.

At the moment, on the grounds of better testing, her attack range was regulated.

Although his abilities were enhanced, Sha Yinna inflicted greater damage on him. He believed that this was because the wings made of plants were afraid of fire, and was planning to undergo a new round of transformation on himself.

Sha Yinna didn't kick it wrong, but even so, Quinn still felt that his shoulder was almost dislocated.

"According to the degree of deformation of the metal, the power of your kick is about 65% stronger than before. What a strong increase. How long can you maintain this state?"

"About half an hour, but the energy consumption isn't very great, so the duration doesn't matter."

At this time, Jin also finished his learning process and began to continue skill experiments on the ship, but the new skills mastered by Jin were obviously different from Sha Yinna's.

Chapter 36 Weather Hand

The flame behind Jin burned more vigorously. In this situation, the sunlight changed. It was originally a rising sun, which was not very hot, but after Jin used his skills, the sunlight became even more dazzling.

On a sunny day, Flammel and Tropical Dragon can all benefit from it. The battle with John will inevitably be a melee. In order to achieve better results in the battle, team battles become more important.

And he just took on the role of weatherman.

On a sunny day, the power of fire skills will be enhanced, and the Sunshine Flame will save the process of charging. Even the flame itself can be enhanced to a certain extent with the blessing of a sunny day.

The ability of the fossil pterosaur gives Jin more advantages in the high altitude. He is currently the most suitable person to be a weather man. The consumption of changing the weather is much greater than the consumption caused by the sword dance's blessing to himself.

Therefore, it is necessary to control the scope of the battle. Sha Yinna is more impulsive, so the position of weatherman is handed over to the more rational Jin.

The next step is a new attempt, that is, whether the skills taught by Arceus can be learned by others through indirect teaching.

The specific actions are Jin teaching Quinn to learn Sunny Day, and Shayna teaching Kaido to learn Sword Dance. Even if the opponent can only touch a little bit of the surface, it means the possibility of indirect learning.

Moreover, the bonus of Sword Dance is calculated based on the user's own strength. With Kaido's current strength, although it has not reached its peak, stacking more buffs can still pose enough threat to the enemy in terms of attack power.

This process lasted for seven days. Quinn found a little bit of the way to the sunny day, but Kaido had no idea about the sword dance. This confirmed one thing: people who were related to Arceus could master more skills through indirect learning.

However, if one's own abilities have nothing to do with Arceus, one will not be able to learn this kind of skills.

Arceus then tried to teach Kaido how to use the sword dance, and this time he succeeded. However, unlike Shayna, the sword dance released by Kaido had the same effect, but consumed more energy and lasted for a shorter time.

This is caused by physical differences. Forcing this skill on an unmodified body is like wearing a shoe that doesn't fit well. However, when walking on a gravel road, having ill-fitting shoes is better than having no shoes at all.

However, this is not a big problem for Kaido, as his physical strength can afford the consumption.

It’s still the same old problem. It would cost too much to transform Kaido as he is now, so we can only make do with this at this stage.

After sailing for this period of time, Arceus and his companions have entered the waters of the Kingdom of Nathho and witnessed how tough the people here are.

At this time, in the sea nearby.

A ship flying the flag of the Kingdom of Nathoo had a fierce battle with a group of pirates on the sea. The cause of the battle was that these pirates sold the stolen property in the Kingdom of Nathoo, but did not want to give it to the kingdom for a share, which triggered the battle.

Arceus and his crew who were passing by ignored those people and used the speed of their modified ship to move towards the main island of the Kingdom of Nathho.

"I haven't seen John for five years. He is a two-sword man, and his strength was the weakest among the cadres at that time. He was no match for Lingling, but he was also a strong man. He was definitely not the same as the John that Prilt imitated."

Kaido is doing scientific popularization work, telling about his impression of John's abilities.

"You are no match for him?"

"No, after I get the power of the fruit, I should be able to fight him head-on."

Kaido has always been very smart. When faced with a situation where he is not his opponent for the time being, he has to find a way to achieve his goal. He doesn't mind using some means. He is much stronger than he was five years ago. If nothing unexpected happens, John is not his opponent.

"But he won't stand still in the next five years. With all his subordinates, our military strength is not enough."

"The stone slab is the main purpose, but I didn't sense the aura of the stone slab. Either this place is too big and the stone slab has not entered my perception range, or there is no stone slab here at all."

"So we still have to solve John's problem. There is no possibility of negotiation. John values ​​money more than anything else. He will not let go of any treasure, even if it is meaningless to him.

But the treasure is most likely here, and John's position has not changed for a long time."

Looking at the life card jumping in his hand, Kaido Leyou roughly guessed that the frequency of the life card's fluttering indicated the distance between the holder and the target.

When the distance is extremely far, the Life Card will only move slightly in that direction, and when the distance is closer, the frequency of the Life Card's shaking will become greater and greater.

Based on the frequency of changes in the life card during this period, it can be inferred that John had been wandering around not long ago, but for more than a month, he has stayed on this island without moving.

When the ship was about to reach the shore, Kaido made the decision to abandon the ship. The Kingdom of Natho had strict immigration inspections, and the ship could not escape their sight if it approached, which was not what Kaido wanted.

Moreover, this ship has begun to be unable to meet their needs. Due to the gray area, the shipbuilding industry in the Kingdom of Natho is also very developed. Kaido also plans to directly exchange for a ship of his own here. Using the navy's patrol ships all the time is not a long-term solution.

At first, Assie and Olga wanted to stay on the ship, not because they wanted to take the opportunity to escape or anything. The danger level of the Grand Line was beyond their ability to deal with, but for safety.

But Quinn dealt them a heavy blow.

"Don't be ridiculous. This is the Kingdom of Nathu, a gray area on the Grand Line. If you dock your ship in the harbor, the people here will help watch over the ship for the cost of care. But are you afraid that you won't attract enough pirates for the naval patrol ship parked on the sea?"

If they see a large warship, ordinary pirates will naturally take the initiative to escape, but many pirates see a small boat like this as an opportunity for revenge.

The fighting power of this father and daughter is just a serving of food when facing pirates. It would be the same even if Kaido was in Olga. This thing will not produce results so quickly.

Therefore, the best outcome for them is to follow Kaido and his men to the island, and then stay in the city of the kingdom.

Kaido brought Arceus and others into the Kingdom of Nathho, and Flitt continued his surveillance career. During this period, John did not take any action, like a person on vacation.

He also saw the target of the Life Card. Although the face was different from Prilt's, with Prilt's ability, the other party was most likely in disguise, so he did not doubt it.

According to his recent intelligence, a unique sea phenomenon in the Kingdom of Nathu will occur in three days - a big low tide. He thinks John has been waiting for this for so long...

Chapter 37: Fleetwood's Ambition

Nat'ho is the name of the kingdom, but the island has another name. Just like Alabasta is located on Saint Island, the land of the Kingdom of Nat'ho is called Donut Island. The specific reason is that the island looks like a huge donut when viewed from the sky.

The island is circular in shape, with a huge inland lake inside, covering a total area of ​​more than one-third of the country's land area.

The so-called low tide does not refer to the changes in the sea area in the outer sea, but to the inland lake in the kingdom. Every three years on the full moon night, the water in the inner lake will mysteriously disappear for three days, revealing the lake bottom below.

John and his group stayed here for too long. Apart from waiting for this, Fleet could not think of any other reason. However, what happened next had little to do with him.

He was aware of his own strength. Although as a member of CP9 he was proficient in all six styles, he was only able to deal with the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line. Facing a monster like John with a bounty in the tens figures, he had no ability to intervene at all. Monitoring from a distance was his limit.

At this time, he had completed the handover of the task, and two members of CP0 from Mary Geoise took over his task.

"This is where John and his people are stationed. They come here to purchase supplies at 2pm every day. Their movements can be observed from the top floor of the hotel where I live."

Fleet explained the intelligence he had collected in the past few days to two ordinary middle-aged men. They looked ordinary and would disappear if thrown into a crowd.

Not all CP0s wear white suits and various masks when they are on duty. Their main goal is to complete their mission. In order to complete this mission, they usually have many identities and choose appropriate clothing.

At this point, the next task has nothing to do with him. No matter what the result is, Flett's mission has been completed. If the mission is successful, he will naturally get his share of the credit.

Spandine is different from Spandam. In addition to knowing how to flatter, he is also capable, otherwise he would not have been so popular in various institutions. Moreover, he will not take away the credit of the front-line agents, and he knows very well what he should not touch.

After handing over what he believed to be Prilt's life card to the two CP0s, Flitt planned to leave this place of trouble. John's goal in life was to make money, and everyone knew it.

The process of moving this treasure would not be peaceful, and it would not be a good idea for him to stay on this island.

He then packed up and prepared to leave, but on the way, he met Kaido and others.

Olga was still wearing the same purple dress, but it was not the same one. That dress had a special meaning to her and she had put it away. When they passed by an island for supplies, she asked a tailor to make more than a dozen identical dresses for her.

The same is true of the patterns on it, which come from the ancient writings of Alchemy.

To most people, it is just an ordinary pattern, but those who are knowledgeable can see that these words are related to Alchemy.

Follett was not someone who studied ancient characters, and the government did not allow people to study that kind of thing. Only people in a certain specialized department of the government were allowed to study that kind of characters.

However, the current ban is not too strict, and O'Hara still exists. Nothing will happen there until they touch the taboo.

But Flitt knew about Alkami. Every year, new Celestial Dragons would get the news about pure gold and issue orders to them to search for it. Now this has become a good way to defraud funds.

But it takes some effort to deal with those Celestial Dragons. There are idiots among them, but not all of them are idiots. Everyone has ambitions, and no one will let a bunch of pure trash sit on their head.

At least they had to submit a satisfactory report, and in the process, they also got to know Alkemi well enough.

One pattern can be a coincidence, but a whole set can never be a coincidence.

Watching Arceus and the others walk by, he took out his Den Den Mushi again and found a secluded place.

"Commander Spandine."

"What's wrong, Foley, the people from CP0 have contacted you, right?"

"Yes, Commander Spandine, we have completed the mission handover. Are there any other tasks?" He hesitated the moment the call was connected.

Spandine's success in the World Government has a lot to do with his network of connections. If he could get in touch with the Celestial Dragons, his future would definitely be much better than it is now. Why should such a credit be shared with Spandine?

So he didn't tell the truth, but instead thought of eating alone.

"No, you can take care of the rest yourself. It's up to you whether you want to assist them or return early."

"Yes, I understand."
