Arceus' Pirate Journey

Although she couldn't die, she could experience the feeling of being on the verge of death. That was the murderous aura that Kaido had honed after fighting on the battlefield, fighting on Rocks' ship, and witnessing and participating in many confrontations between monsters and naval elites.

That murderous intent is a completely different feeling from the domineering Haki. Even when Yamato was targeted by Kaido's murderous intent for the first time, he felt fear in his heart.

Arceus will stop Kaido from doing something beyond his ability, but knowing that his life will not be in danger does not mean that he will not be afraid. However, such training does have some benefits. In a sense, she appears to be very fearless.

"Hmm... where should we go? We've already been to the West Sea, and my foster father said the New World and Paradise are too dangerous. Maria, Robin, do you have any suggestions?"

Looking at the map in front of him and scratching his head, Yamato still couldn't decide where to go.

The danger was relative to what he said. This time was different from the previous times. Arceus did not intend to take action unless there was any life-threatening crisis. In fact, it was enough to let a cadre follow him.

Jack was safely handed over to Manderfesch. He was not even a disaster-level cadre, but there was still a big difference between an adopted daughter and a reserve cadre. His not intending to take action did not mean he would not go.

However, if you choose an island to sail to in the New World, your own territory will be meaningless, as the probability of a crisis occurring in the heart of the beasts is infinitely close to zero. If you go to someone else's territory, the current Yamato will not be able to cope with it.

Although she is already much stronger than her peers, she still has a long way to go before she can truly grow.

The most ideal activity area is the four seas, where you may encounter troubles, but the intensity will be more appropriate.

At the beginning, the scope of her choice was all over the world.

"I'm fine with either, just whatever you like."

Maria didn't make any comment on this matter. She just kept massaging Frosty Fairy. For her, it didn't matter where she went.

"Me too. If possible, it would be best if it is somewhere related to ancient ruins."

In fact, Robin does have some goals, but based on her understanding of Yamato, she would not be interested in those countries. After all, the most common things there are archaeology and literature research.

Although O'Hara in the West Sea is a holy place for archaeology, there are archaeological sites all over the world. They may not be as good as O'Hara in some aspects, but they also have their own unique features.

But this was Yamato's trial, and she was just along for the ride.

"Ah... I'm so confused. I don't know where to go even after looking at the map."

Looking at the names of the islands, Yamato tried to pick out a name that he liked, but they all looked the same.

"I remember there are some introductions to the customs of the world in the documents of the New Tree of All-Knowing. How about you go there and take a look?"

Within the giant vines that emerged, the surviving scholars of O'Hara built a new library, continuing the name of the past only as a form of remembrance.

As Robin said, O'Hara, who stores data and documents from all over the world, also has some research on world geography, which is also part of history.

"Good idea! Let's go!"

Yamato was a man of action, so he took them to find a resting Millennium Dragon, and then came to the small island in the sky.

Robin was very familiar with those books and materials. He said something to the people inside and went to the third floor. Arms grew out of the bookshelf and several picture books were quickly taken down.

"That should be it. If you are not interested in the West Sea, most of the island records in the East Sea, South Sea, and North Sea are included here."

The atlas records everything very well, but Yamato overlooked one problem: this is a document album from a history museum, not Morgans' newspaper, and since coming here, this kind of document has not been supplemented.

So the most recent of these atlases is only a few years old. Time will not stop, and as time goes by, every island is undergoing tremendous changes.

For example, Kraingana Island is still recorded as the Island of Mist in some documents, but it has gradually disappeared due to the war, and the number of baboons on the island is increasing day by day.

"The fairyland country of Frevans, the ground and trees in the country are as pure white as the ice and snow country in the fairy tale world. It is a country that is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth...Okay, I've decided, let's go there."

Looking at the photos in the album, Yamato decided on the first destination of this trip, the Kingdom of Frevans, known as the White Town.

...

"Frevans? Has she decided yet?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

After hearing the destination that Yamato decided to go to, Kaido asked a rare extra question.

"The information that Ammonite overheard before, the distance from here to Frevans... According to the route you set, if nothing unexpected happens, what you see should not be a fairyland, but hell."

Kaido handed a piece of information to Arceus, which was the World Government's evacuation plan for the Frevans royal family. If it were not for special circumstances, the royal family would not choose to leave their country. This kind of thing meant that a disaster was about to come.

"Let that girl see the reality of the human world. You've protected her too well. I think you should have let her see what hell is like a few years ago."

As it turns out, Kaido still thinks Yamato's training was a bit too light.

"She will rebel if you do that. Don't push a child too hard. She's already doing pretty well now."

"It's up to you. By the way, since it's Frevans, bring back another batch of platinum lead. It's getting more and more expensive on the black market recently. I'm afraid it will be more difficult to get it later."

Platinum lead is an important mineral in Frevans. It is a special lead ore in the earth's crust. This platinum lead can not only be used to produce tableware, coatings, sweet seasonings, and cosmetics, but is also an important raw material for some weapons.

This lead bullet made of platinum lead can be said to be a very high-quality ammunition.

Even in Wano Country, there is no substitute for that kind of platinum lead. Originally, we planned to send a random cadre to do it. Since Yamato has decided on Frevans, we might as well do it together.

"I understand. I'll go deal with those people from Nine Snakes first."

The three-year period has almost been up. Since it was said to be three years, it is natural to send them back now. This matter also concerns the rest of their lives for most members of the Hundred Beasts...

Chapter 401 Return to the Nine Snakes

The robbery of the Celestial Dragons did cause quite a stir. With a lot of energy invested, they seemed to have caught Prilt's tail, but they only caught the tail.

The other party was just like a lizard, it cut off its tail to survive and no one knew where it escaped to.

Some people suspected that this identity was an imposter, but all the eyewitnesses present saw the same situation, and his figure was even captured on some subsequent routes. Even the ships and flags were described in great detail.

On an island in the New World, the remains of what appeared to be the burned ship were even found.

The evidence is very sufficient, but the person cannot be caught. Moreover, the Celestial Dragons also have a characteristic. Although most of them embody the poor qualities of human nature, these guys are very careless in some individual cases.

Although he kept urging them to catch the robber at the beginning, he forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

So the situation returned to its original state. The World Government was still searching for Pruitt, but it did not put in so much effort.

Now it would not be a problem to get them back to Nine Snakes.

In the room on Onigashima, Olga had already told them about this in advance. They would be sent back to Nine Snake Island with Yamato's voyage, but some people didn't seem to want to leave.

"Sister, we should go now."

"Yes, sister, it's been three years. Everyone in the Nine Snakes will be worried."

Marigorude and Sandasonia were comforting Hancock. In fact, she was also in a dilemma. She wanted to stay here, but as she was born in Nine Snakes, she missed them very much.

As a pirate nation, Amazon Lily's national education is relatively successful, at least in terms of national sense of belonging.

Most of the people who go out will return to the Nine Snakes. Even if they leave the Nine Snakes and live outside, they will still go back to help when the Nine Snakes are in danger.

Moreover, the Emperor of the Nine Snakes is more responsible for the country than any individual. Before there is a suitable successor, the Emperor of the Nine Snakes will still take the responsibility of protecting the safety of the Nine Snakes.

Even someone as willful as Hancock had to compromise before. For example, regarding the position of Shichibukai, according to the estimation of their strength at the original time, if she insisted on refusing that position, no one in the Nine Snakes could force her.

"Sanda, Mary, is there any way to have the best of both worlds?"

"Sister... this is unlikely. Although Sister Olga is also a woman, it would be fine if she wanted to go to Kujaku, but she would not agree to such a thing."

The Nine Snakes are not that averse to outsiders, or to be more precise, outside females. However, both Olga and her daughter are getting along very well in the Beast Kingdom and obviously will not leave.

"It's okay, sister. At worst, you can just come back later. Besides, Sister Olga often goes to Shampooland, so you can visit her there when the time comes."

Although she is the older sister, Hancock is more like a younger sister in some ways. Speaking of this, Olga also came here.

"Sister Olga?"

"Well, you guys are leaving soon, so I came to give you some parting gifts."

The membership of the Beasts Pirates is very complex, and even the leader of the pirate group will not have a close relationship with everyone. The three Hancock sisters were originally brought back by Olga, so maintaining a good relationship with them was left to Olga.

The three fruits were exactly the ones that originally belonged to them, but they had not been modified in any way. Before the Nine Snakes hung up the subsidiary flags of the Hundred Beasts, they would not be able to get this kind of reward.

Our own people within Baishou are still queuing up, and taking out these three is already a huge investment.

Although the type of fruit might remind people of the original Prilt, at this point in time, even if there were no changes, it would not arouse much suspicion.

You don't have to eat the devil fruit you get, you can also exchange it for money, such as Doflamingo, a good brother. Many powerful fruits flowed from his hands, although that was not his intention.

But the result is a counterproductive act, and some powerful fruits are usually lost.

"Devil Fruit?"

"That's right, Lord Arceus means that his ship will take a detour to take you back tomorrow."

Then Olga seemed to notice that Hancock was not happy, and then said to her: "Don't worry, the separation is only temporary, and I will go back with you, and we still have some time to spend together."

Along with the devil fruit, an envelope was also brought over, which contained some questions regarding the future development of Amazon Lily.

This kind of news is worthless to all beasts, but to Amazon Lily, this news is very important.

This time Olga is the accompanying messenger, and there are also questions about the lone brave man on the sea.

The reason why he is still alive is not because he is lucky or strong, but because more than one person found him. Scourge and Namur discovered him almost one after another, and the people sent by Big Mom followed closely behind.

Although the result would be the same no matter who he falls into the hands of, it is a matter of face, so each pirate group began to gradually increase their manpower with the purpose of snatching this face.

...

The beasts were already very familiar with the route from Wano Country to Sabaody, and they quickly arrived at the designated location. Yamato and the others revisited the old place and came to the Sabaody Archipelago again, while Olga brought Hancock and the others to Amazon Lily.

However, just after landing, Hancock and the others received unbelievable news, because the Queen of Amazon Lily had died of illness, the previous emperor Xia Qi had left Nine Snakes, and the current Nine Snakes was temporarily ruled by the previous emperor Guloliosa.

He committed many serious mistakes while in office, so he has been living alone and low-key in a corner of the village.

However, she has a very high status within the Nine Snakes, and even the emperor of the Nine Snakes will respect her opinions on some major issues.

Soon, surrounded by the nine snake warriors, Guloliosa arrived here.

"The three sisters have been taken care of for the past three years."

The disappearance of the three Hancock sisters on the pirate ship was almost unacceptable to the Nine Snakes' warriors, but when they discovered this, it was already too late.

However, not long after, they called to report their safety, but it was not until today that they found out where Hancock and the others had gone. The pirate flag on the ship was well known even in Amazon Lily, where information was difficult to obtain.

Later, at the invitation of Guroliosa, Olga came to the palace of the Nine Snakes, and she also saw the letter from the Beasts, about the navy gradually mastering the technology to pass through the Calm Belt.

Chapter 402: Discussion of the Seven Warlords of the Sea

"Has the Navy... mastered this technology?"

In the Nine Snakes' palace, Guroliosa fell into deep thought while looking at Olga's letter. This kind of technology might not matter to other people, for example, Baishou didn't care about this kind of thing at all.

Although Morgans called them the Emperors of the Sea for the sake of publicity, they really deserve the title.

After Morgans' hype, countless pirates tried to challenge the emperor's position, but the result was always the same, no one ever succeeded.

Joined, died, and was sent to the navy in exchange for bounty. Those who were able to escape unscathed with some spare parts were considered to have a good ending, and many people were discouraged.

They rely on strength to guard their territory, but Nine Snakes is different. It is also a pirate kingdom. Although Nine Snakes is not weak, it does not have the strength of the emperor of the sea.

Especially there is a huge gap in the strength of high-level cadres, which is something they cannot compare with the Imperial Group. The Nine Snakes can survive safely and the residents on the island are not disturbed by the outside world mainly relying on the calm belt outside.

This is their natural barrier. If the ancestors of the Nine Snakes had not mastered the technique of snake training and had not had the help of the highly poisonous sea snakes, it would have been difficult for them to enter and exit on their own.

If this barrier is really broken, it means that the era of the Nine Snakes living in seclusion in a corner is over, and the navy can attack them at will across the calm belt.

"How do you know this? This should be a secret within the navy."

Guroliosa's position in Nine Snakes is more like a think tank, so she doesn't believe everything others say. Although this kind of warning information will not cause them any loss, it does not affect her curiosity.

"Of course, we have special channels for this, and their seastone is what we sell."

Although Quinn was almost deified in the Navy Intelligence Department, the top brass of Beasts still knew the truth. The process of inlaying seastone was not complicated. To be precise, all it required was hands. It would just increase the weight of the ship.

Even if Arceus hadn't told them, Quinn could have guessed it given how long he and Vegapunk had worked together.

And because seastone is too difficult to cut, the World Government asked Baishou to make the seastone into a specific shape when purchasing it. After paying a large processing fee, Baishou happily took on the job.

"You...you sell..."

Hearing this, old Gu Luoliosa's face became a little strange. She had never expected this reason.

"Don't worry about such details. It's not surprising that pirates have some business dealings with the World Government. Anyway, this news is true, so you'd better be prepared."

It is naturally impossible for a pirate nation to be self-sufficient like an ordinary country, and the territory of the Nine Snakes is not enough to achieve this, so the Nine Snakes Pirate Group was born.

In the past, their style was to rob and run, bring the supplies back to Nine Snakes, and then use the Calm Belt to repel the enemy. This change had a huge impact on the Nine Snakes.

"Of course, we also have a solution. Why not consider relocating?"

"move place?"

"In simple terms, we need to move the entire Amazon Lily away and use the banner of the Beasts as a shield. That way, even without the Calm Belt Navy, they will not act rashly."
