Arceus' Pirate Journey

However, not all pirates are rookies. After entering the New World, there are also many pirates who join the army of a great pirate to seek refuge.

Kaido is no longer a newcomer, so naturally he is not like those pirates who have just set out to sea and plan to proceed step by step.

Taking over John and his men's original territory is the best idea right now. Compared to competing with those pirates from the New World for territory, occupying this unowned land and developing military forces is a better choice.

"This is a sea chart. The territories of John and the other three are not adjacent. We can only occupy one piece at the moment."

"Let's take John's piece. If I remember correctly, that island seems to be called the Industrial Island." Looking at the map that Kaido took out, Quinn put forward his own suggestion.

Chapter 48: Thousand Faces of Evasion

This is the advantage of the new ship that Quinn chose. It has dual power of steam engine and outboard wheels. As long as the furnace pressure and direction are controlled well, it can enter an unmanned state for a short period of time.

It is no secret who the New World's territory belongs to. This is almost common knowledge. It is easy to find the distribution map of their power in the underground world.

This is especially true in the Kingdom of Natjo, also known as the Gray Kingdom, where intelligence personnel from the underground world sometimes receive news even before the World Government.

It is even easier to figure out the territory of the big pirates. Compared with the Four Emperors era many years later, the current situation in the New World is completely different. Five years ago, the Rocks Pirates were undoubtedly the strongest force.

And today, after the disappearance of the Rocks Pirates, the captain of the Flying Pirates and the admiral of the Golden Lion Pirate Fleet, the "Flying Pirates" - Shiki the Golden Lion, controls the largest force in the New World.

The power of the Float-Float Fruit gives Golden Lion's fleet a huge advantage in naval battles, but his fleet is only the largest in size. In terms of strength, it is slightly inferior to Whitebeard, and the captains under him have not yet grown up.

But Whitebeard was not troubled by injuries, and the Whitebeard Pirates are still one of the top forces in the New World.

Next is the Roger Pirates, who have no fixed territory and sail around looking for the final destination. These three groups can be said to be the three strongest pirates in the New World today.

Charlotte Linlin, John, Silver Axe and other remnants of Rocks together constitute the second echelon of the New World. Now there is such a big power gap. Once the news spreads, countless pirates will rush in like sharks smelling blood.

However, given the location where John and the others died, it would probably take quite a while for the news to spread. This was Kaido and the others' opportunity.

"Then let's stay here, but there is one more thing to do before we leave."

Kaido looked at the sails on the mast. Although this ship was a steamship, it still retained two main masts and sails. Now it was blank, and there was no flag belonging to Kaido.

Pirates have always attached great importance to their flags. Destroying a flag means declaring war, and pirates also rely on flags to declare their territory.

The previous small boat and the navy patrol boat were fine, but now this ship was a true ship belonging to the Hundred Beasts, and the vacant flag also needed to be painted on.

Then, a new problem arose.

"Are any of you good at drawing?" Kaido had been fighting in the Kingdom Army since he was ten years old. Although the Kingdom Army at that time taught people to read, drawing depended entirely on talent. It was a bit difficult for him to draw a neat pirate flag.

Arceus was also not good at this kind of thing. After getting four stone tablets, his overall strength was greatly improved, not just the use of attribute skills alone.

After absorbing the four stone tablets, the power of Qianzhou Wrist was fully activated. He could manipulate a single element, such as water or fire, through the power of the stone tablets.

Invisible water in his hands can replace arms, and is far more convenient than arms.

He is not a Tutu dog. Some things cannot be drawn just by thinking of them. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many crazy parties in the world.

As for Sha Yinna and Jin...everything they have learned since birth has only one purpose - to survive, so almost everyone on this ship is a painting black hole.

They had seen Olga's graffiti skills, so there was no need to ask. As for Athie, it was too difficult for him to draw a pirate flag.

So in the end, the matter fell back on Quinn.

"Recruiting people, Boss Kaido, we need to recruit people, even if they are cannon fodder, at least let them do odd jobs!" Quinn, holding a paint bucket, made his accusation.

Although Kaido has always said that he wants to expand his military forces, the people he has met during this period either seem too weak or unsuitable, so that until now he, Quinn, is still at the bottom of the ship.

Olga and Athie were not good at heavy work, and it took them hours to do something that took them only a few minutes.

Following Kaido's sketch instructions, a horned skull appeared on their flag.

The ship continued to sail towards the New World. Kaido and Quinn began to count the treasures. The things John kept close to his body were real treasures. In addition to the handicrafts that looked priceless, there were also several boxes.

"This thing seems to be the necklace that the Celestial Dragons lost back then? I remember it was quite a big deal at the time." Quinn held up a magnifying glass to observe the object in his hand, and recalled the bloody incident a few years ago.

"It's not surprising. There is more than one Celestial Dragon who fell into Rocks' hands. It seems that they were unable to recover all the things from Rocks. John is still the same, specializing in collecting these valuable things."

Kaido was not very interested in the necklace and opened another box instead. This time his expression was much happier, and a devil fruit was lying inside.

"Quinn, where's your illustrated guide? Can you see what kind of fruit this is?"

"This is... well, it should be the Inu-Inu Fruit, but I don't know exactly which kind it is. Brother Kaido, this is just a rubbing, and the original version doesn't record all the types. Regarding this fruit... there is only half a page."

"It doesn't matter. As long as it's an animal type, it's fine. It seems that the little brat has his own abilities."

At the same time, Arceus is making a new transformation attempt, but the object of the transformation is not Olga, but Yin Lishabeth.

Following Shayna's ability granting, Jin's fruit transformation, and Quinn's indirect mutation, Arceus decided to make a fourth attempt, to transform animals other than humans.

There are many strange creatures in this world, and those that are intelligent enough can also be powerful after cultivation, such as the baboons on Hawkeye Island and the Kung Fu manatees in Alabasta.

Yin Lisabai's intelligence is about the same as that of a human child. Judging from its previous performance of risking its life to pass on messages, there is nothing wrong with some transformation.

"Basilisk lizard...this one will do." The power of the water-drop slate enveloped Yin Lishabai. In a flash of white light, its arms began to extend, its spine began to stand upright, and its skin color changed from green to blue.

"Well, it's much easier to transform animals than humans. Is it because of the different body structures..."

Transforming animals is less labor-intensive than simply transforming devil fruits. If the ability to switch forms is removed, even less power will be required. This gives Arceus some new ideas.

However, species like Yin Lishabai that are intelligent enough and small in size are rare.

Yin Lisabeth seemed a little lost, constantly switching between her original form and her new form, as if she was feeling the changes in her body, which also shocked Olga who was standing beside her.

"Master Holy Beast, Yin Lishabeth, this is..."

"A new force. Now its race should be called Thousand-Faced Chameleon."

Chapter 49: People who feel sick when seeing fruit

Yin Lishabe switches between the two forms. This is the biggest difference between the transformed animals and humans. They only have two forms: the original form and the Pokémon form, and there is no mixed beast form.

This is probably the reason why the consumption is lower. In addition, permanent transformation will consume less. On the contrary, creation out of thin air will consume more.

Chiron, an agent Pokémon, and one of the starter Pokémon of the Galar region and a water-type Pokémon.

The water of water-type Pokémon generally comes from moisture in the outside world. Water-type Pokémon have their own unique water storage organs and conversion methods.

In a waterless environment, water molecules in the air can also be converted into water through special methods, including their own physical strength. However, except for individual cases, the living area of ​​water-type Pokémon will not be far from the water.

The most common way is to store and utilize water from the outside world. It is also a consumption issue. It is much easier to control the existing waves outside than to generate a huge wave by yourself.

PYROBROIN particles exist in every corner of this world, so the water-type Pokémon that appear here, even if they generate water themselves, will have a certain restraint on fruit ability users due to these particles.

Arceus is the only exception. He can use the water-dropping slate to create special pure water without PYROBROIN particles. In this water, even people with special abilities can experience the feeling of swimming again.

The eyes of the Thousand-Faced Chameleon have a special membrane, which has extremely special abilities that can help the Thousand-Faced Chameleon find the opponent's weaknesses.

It has a special wing membrane on its back, with which it can glide for a short time. There is also a special blade-like structure hidden in the tail behind it. Of course, its most important ability is its inherent sniper talent.

Theoretically, the Chameleon can shoot the water stored in its body out from its fingers at a speed of Mach 3, but Yin Lishabai's situation may not be able to reach this speed, but high-speed water bullets are enough to be fatal to most people.

Even if he is a Pokémon with special abilities, if his own abilities cannot freeze or evaporate seawater, he will be powerless against Yin Lisabeth. Water-type Pokémon almost have a natural advantage over Pokémon with special abilities.

However, the most important point is that the intelligence of Pokémonized animals will be significantly improved. Chameleon is also a kind of high-IQ Pokémon. At this time, Elizabeth can be said to have a completely different development direction.

"Olga, you can try to teach it to talk later."

"Teach it to speak... Actually, I tried it more than a hundred years ago..." It was very boring in the belly of the sea king at that time. Olga certainly tried it, but although Yin Lishabeth could understand her words, she couldn't speak human words at all.

"It's different now."

Team Rocket's Meowth was just an ordinary Meowth at first, but the magic of love forced him to learn to walk upright and speak human language. Theoretically, as long as one has perseverance, it is not impossible for Pokémon to learn human language.

Excluding the legendary beasts and mythical beasts, the special-shaped Rotom and the Gastly that lived for a long time in Maiden Gorge can speak human language, so learning human language is not an isolated case, and they can probably learn it with more teaching.

Looking at the fingers in their new form that were extremely similar to those of humans, Yin Lisabeth began to study her own abilities and try out her sniping skills.

However, the effect was not satisfactory. The water bullets it fired were still a long way from the recorded Mach 3 speed.

And a newly born "sniper" Yin Lishabai cannot control this ability well. When it was a basilisk lizard, its hands were more like auxiliary tools, and its main muscle groups grew in the lower body.

Now some people cannot control the recoil generated by the "sniper" well, so when shooting at the sea surface, it may accidentally miss the target.

“Gurgle…”

Quinn, who had just walked up the stairs, swallowed his saliva. Looking at the water bullets hitting the handrail next to him, he felt a chill in his crotch.

Due to the height issue, the armrest that Yin Lishabai hit was almost level with Quinn's waist. If it was a little to the left, Quinn could consider getting a prosthetic modification.

"Murder! Do you want to murder me? What is this blue lizard?"

If Arceus hadn't happened to be here, he might have rushed up and grabbed Olga's collar to question her, but Arceus still made him restrain himself.

"Quinn, you're blocking the road." Kaido pushed Quinn from behind. Water stains could be seen on his shoulders. It seemed that the water bullet hit him again later, but the power was not enough to hurt his body now.

The transformed Yin Lishabeth naturally appeared in his eyes. Although her appearance changed a lot, he still saw the saddle behind Yin Lishabeth.

"That lizard? Your abilities are really versatile."

Kaido found that he had underestimated Arceus's abilities, and the application of his abilities seemed to be wider than he thought.

"There are still many things to try, why are you all here?"

"I found something interesting." He threw the fruit in his hand to Olga.

"Catch it, little devil." A white fruit drew an arc in the sky and fell accurately into Olga's hands.

"Huh?" Looking at the white cantaloupe in her hand, Olga still didn't quite understand what was going on.

"The secret treasure of the sea, the devil fruit, you should know what it is, right? There are quite a lot of people with special abilities on this ship. This one is the Dog-Dog Fruit, but we don't know the specific type. You can bet on what ability it is.

But there is no need to worry, after all, we have Lord Arceus here, and even if it is not good enough, it is comparable to the ability of the mythical beasts."

Quinn was explaining the types of fruits. An unknown type of devil fruit is indeed a challenge, although the future of the fruit depends on the degree of development.

However, fruits are divided into strong and weak types. If you can develop an ordinary ability to an extremely powerful level, then when you switch to a more powerful ability, the upper limit will naturally be higher.

Before the appearance of Arceus, ordinary animal-type devil fruits had the lowest status among all devil fruits. In the early stages, the increase in the body brought about by animalization was completely incomparable to the abilities of superhuman and natural types. Only when the body was trained to a certain level could the increase in the animal-type ability cause a qualitative change.

But it’s different with Arceus. Arceus has no intention of directly transforming it. For an animal of unknown species, if it is a mythical beast, ordinary transformation is not suitable and careful preparation is required.

"Why, you seem a little hesitant. Are you not interested in people with special abilities?"

"No, I just heard that... this thing tastes terrible, and I've been eating fruit for more than a hundred years. To be honest, I want to vomit when I see fruit now..."

Chapter 50: Prilt Takes the Blame

But after a moment, she pinched her nose and bit it. Her face turned ashen and a fluffy fox tail grew out from behind her.

It has a pointed mouth, round ears, and slightly short limbs. Even after fully transformed into a beast, its body is not very big and it looks a bit cute.

"Is this... an Arctic fox?"

This world also has North and South Poles. Is the South Pole colder or the North Pole? This is a topic that can make two of the Four Emperors fight each other.

The categories under the Dog-Dog Fruit include fox, dog, and wolf. It is not surprising that the fox's ability appears.

However, this Arctic fox is clearly in winter form, with white fur all over its body.

Olga felt a strong nausea at this moment. The taste of the devil fruit could not be described in words. Moreover, she hated fruit in the first place. On top of that, she felt like something wanted to pull her stomach out.

After calming down the feeling, she began to familiarize herself with the ability of the fruit, just like Yin Lisabeth just now.

The first thing that appears is the ability to transform into a beast. The change of Chimaera is not big, but Olga's perspective has changed greatly after transforming into a beast.

Looking at Kaido standing aside, she didn't know where she got the courage to kidnap him.

Of course, after that, she heard words that made her mad.

"Although he's a fox, Brother Kaido should be more resistant to beatings now."

"Um... why do I have to take the beating?" After changing back from a fox to a human again, Olga had a bad feeling. She believed that the process of becoming stronger was continuous training.

This process may be difficult, but she is ready for it. However, it is different from being beaten.

Kaido's previous physical training had always reached the limit of the human body, and she had no extra energy to care about other things.

She was not afraid of hardship, but she was afraid of pain. The potential that was stimulated during the previous injection made Quinn look sideways.

"Don't be afraid. You are still a long way from being beaten. You need to at least train your physical strength first. But you can watch how others train first."

Quinn was putting pressure on Olga, but the pressure soon returned to him.

"That's right, let's start with you then."

Kaido's voice reached Quinn's ears, which made Quinn shudder.

"Um...Brother Kaido, I need to drive the boat. It's not convenient to train now."
