Arceus' Pirate Journey

Pokémon like Gyarados are not suitable for transportation, both in terms of personality and size. The most suitable ones are those with a gentle personality, a large carrying capacity, and the ability to be amphibious.

Under such circumstances, a group of Pokémon originally named Dragonite and now named Lapras appeared in this sea area.

Lapras is known as the riding Pokémon. It has a gray shell under its overall blue appearance, but it cannot retract like a turtle.

In addition to being kind-hearted, Lapras is also one of the most intelligent Pokémon. It is very cold-resistant and is not afraid of the ice sea. It can come and go freely even in the cold sea, and can understand the meaning of humans in more detail.

The Gigantamax Laplace can even carry more than 5000 people on the shell on its back, and in addition to its own cargo transportation, it can also play a strategic role.

...

Mandfesh is stationed on the island, where he and Rusalka still stay. He missed the wedding on Ghost Island, but there was nothing he could do about it. The territory of the Beasts needs to be guarded, and many cadres are indispensable.

"Moui!"

A slightly mournful voice came from the seaside, and they swam into the island along the swimming path built by Manderfesh. Although Laplace can crawl on land like a turtle, they still only live in the ocean most of the time.

Ocean > Ice > Land, this is how Laplace chooses its route.

"Feishu, did you hear anything?"

"I heard it. It should be that the things arranged by the higher-ups have arrived. This time they are testing some new things."

As he spoke, Manderfesh looked in the direction of the sound.

"Brother Manderfesh, here I come."

In addition to several Lapras, there is also Jack. The Lapras, who are traveling for the first time, don't know the way. In order to prevent them from losing their destination, Jack, a fishman, takes on the task of navigator.

It was just this time. Once he came here, Laplace would remember the island, and he would no longer need a guide when he came here for the second time.

"These are..."

"Well, it's a new creature created by Lord Arceus. This time it's here for transportation experiments."

As he spoke, he patted the special sealed box behind Laplace. After opening it, there was a dry white paper inside without any signs of being wet. In addition, some special supplies needed by the island were also sent over through Laplace.

Some fragile items were also included, but overall there were no major problems with the transportation quality. Safety issues were also tested on the road.

There is no need to worry about pirates in the deep sea. The only things that could attack Laplace are sea beasts or sea kings. The transportation process was very smooth.

Ordinary sea beasts were no match for Laplace, and they had not encountered any sea kings during this voyage. In fact, as long as they did not enter the doldrums, the chances of encountering any sea kings were minimal.

As long as they avoid the areas where they live, sea kings are too lazy to go outside the doldrums most of the time.

Rusalka stroked Laplace's neck, and a cool feeling spread to her hands. It would probably feel very comfortable to ride in Laplace in the summer.

Then the two Laplaces returned to the water again. This time they wanted to test how long it would take to return to Onigashima at full speed. Previously, because of Jack, Laplace was unable to move forward at full speed.

Because Jack is so big, and he's growing faster and faster as he reaches puberty, it would be awkward for him to sit on Laplace unless he Dynamaxes, so he's always by his side.

Lapras is also a relatively fast type among water-type Pokémon, and this time it is a new speed collection.

Watching Laplace and the others re-enter the water, Jack also sent a message back to Onigashima.

However, it is not just Onigashima that is investigating the Pokémon situation. At this time, Vegapunk in the research institute also stopped his research due to some circumstances.

"Interesting, are these creatures so intelligent?"

At that time, those people captured two Gyarados and sent them here. After a period of research, Vegapunk successfully developed a machine that can control sea beasts.

There was no problem in controlling ordinary sea beasts, and there was no problem in the initial test on Gyarados. He thought he had developed a complete control device, but an accident occurred in the experiment not long ago.

Those Gyarados made some noises in the ocean during the previous tests. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but in the last experiment, more Gyarados appeared nearby and successfully took away the two test subjects.

Chapter 472: Red Gyarados, Robin about to set sail

If they were just taken away, he would not be so surprised, but the IQ of those Gyarados was beyond his imagination. They actually knew how to destroy the controllers on the two Gyarados heads.

Watching the image on the monitor turn into black and white garbled characters, Vegapunk, with the number 2 written on his chest, touched his chin. His plain face became more lively. From the upward curve of his mouth corners, it can be seen that he has a lot of interest in this matter.

With a few casual taps on the keyboard in front of him, huge changes took place in the studio, and a lot of defense measures were put in place outside.

Based on his past research on Gyarados, this creature should be very vengeful. In this case, they are likely to come back for revenge.

There was nothing wrong with Vegapunk's guess, but he underestimated the evolutionary nature of living things.

In the distant deep sea, the two Gyarados that regained their freedom let out angry roars. It was this sound that had attracted the other Gyarados before.

If it were just based on Gyarados' habits, they would indeed retaliate immediately, but these two Gyarados did not receive recognition from their companions, but were instead hit on the head by a broad tail.

Through the dark sea water, you can see that it is a red Gyarados.

Ever since Arceus transformed the Magikarp, the Magikarp have spread all over the world. With this huge base, some special individuals have also appeared among the Magikarp, such as the golden Magikarp.

Except for the giant carp that Arceus originally transformed, these Magikarp are the products of reproduction. They only remember one of Arceus' orders: search, return, and report.

But this Magikarp seems to have achieved atavism. Arceus's orders have a deeper impact on it, and its individual has become different. Compared with ordinary Gyarados, it is smarter and is also a special individual who has seen Arceus during the pilgrimage.

Faced with such a unique Gyarados, Arceus also strengthened it a bit, making it even more unique.

"Roar!"

Under the coercion of this red Gyarados, the two Gyarados followed it obediently. This is the tribe consciousness of the Gyarados. The powerful Gyarados is the leader. This red Gyarados is bigger and stronger, so he can naturally command them.

It even left pheromones belonging to the Gyarados on the rocks in this sea area when it left, warning other Gyarados to stay away from this dangerous area. At the same time, it also noted the location of the island and planned to report everything during the next pilgrimage.

Then there was another roar, and the group of Gyarados completely disappeared in the sea. The day of their pilgrimage was approaching.

As for whether a Gyarados from other seas would be captured and brought here, or whether a Gyarados would accidentally break in, that was no longer something it considered. Although it was smarter than other Gyarados, this was almost its limit.

......

"Ho~ho~"

Some time later, in the sea near Wano Country, as the last Gyarados dived into the water, this year's pilgrimage came to an end, and Arceus also received such news.

"Quinn, from the location in Wano Country, swim eastward at the speed of Gyarados for twelve days, then swim southward for one month and mark that location."

"Master Arceus, what is this?"

"It might be a research institute in Vegapunk. Haven't you heard of it before? Although it's not worth doing anything now, I don't know what will happen in the future."

"No, although we are in the same research group, we are just members of the same group. Vegapunk has the most secrets, and the current research institute may be provided by the World Government."

Quinn didn't ask why Arceus knew this, he was used to these things, and although he was considered a scientist, he had seen too much theology.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Pokémon is a creature that transcends common sense is already theological enough.

At the same time, Setsuna, who had left Zuowu's trivial matters to Yangjisi Khan, also ended her new honeymoon trip with Zeraora.

At this time, they had returned to Jiuli's new house. The house was not very big, but it was very warm. Perona also moved into the basement of the house.

It wasn't that Setsuna and Zeraora abused her, but she just liked the environment of the basement and decorated it like a little princess's room.

[February 1508, 2, Snow

Although I'm married, I haven't felt the feeling my mother described yet. Maybe I'll know when I have a child. But I don't feel any burden in raising Perona.

Maybe it’s because they are not biological children, but I don’t know when biological children will appear.

Yang Jisi Khan would urge me to go back once a month to officially take over the position of Duke, but I still don’t want to take over directly. It turns out that people’s dreams will change when they grow up. 】

As some people gain more experience, their dreams will change, but there are also some people who can persist. Setsuna cannot say that she does not want to be king at all, but now she feels that she is not yet able to bear such a heavy responsibility.

[I really miss the carefree days of my childhood, but now it seems to be pretty good...]

Glancing at Zeraora outside the window, Setsuna closed the notebook again. Keeping a diary every day for years had become a habit for her. Not many people could stick to this habit. Even if someone in the Beasts Pirates forgot the details of some important things, they would look for Setsuna.

Because if she looks through her diary, she might find some details.

However, another thing happened this year. Nico Robin turned 16 years old. This age is no different from an adult in the world of pirates, and it is time for her to go out as agreed upon.

According to the agreement made that year, she will now leave Wano Country and go to the outside world to explore some ruins. Her identity is not registered with the World Government, and she is not a wanted pirate, so she can do these things through normal channels.

Compared to her life when she started to wander around various forces and experience the dark side of the world at the age of 8, this is already a good life. It was also her own wish to choose to go sailing. Although she now has the tendency to change her job to become a Pokémon doctor, she is still essentially a doctor of history.

Moreover, whether it is the missing historical text or the stone slab that may be sealed in some ruins, a more professional person is needed to do it.

She had told Yamato about this a few days ago, but Yamato seemed to have disappeared after that. It was not until today when she was about to set sail that she saw Yamato again with a bruised face.

"You...what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I went to ask my father for something, come with me, I'll let Tutu Dog draw something for you."

Chapter 473 Ghost Princess

Yamato pulled Robin into his room. Before Robin could figure out what was going on, Tutu had already drawn a special skull pattern on her shoulder. There was no doubt that it was Kaido's pirate flag.

"This is..."

"Father's pirate flag. Although you are not wanted, it is better to take it with you when you go out. Just use this sleeve to cover it up. If you really encounter any trouble, this flag will definitely help you."

This is the perception that Yamato has now, that is, Kaido's pirate flag has enough deterrent power on the sea to shock many people, and this is indeed the case. In the complex new world, the pirate flag of the emperor of the sea is the best shelter.

"The wound on your face...could it be because of this?"

Looking at Yamato with a bruised face and nose, Robin suddenly understood why she had been missing for the past few days.

"Not really, my father is just like that, but he was really harsh this time."

The physique of the super rookie, plus Kaido's blood physique, plus the physique enhancement of the improved version of the Great Mouth God, plus the trace of will of the two dragons residing in the body also has a certain enhancement.

Even with the buffs fully stacked, there are still obvious scars on her face, which fully demonstrates how hard Kaido hit her.

Robin was not wrong in her guess. She made this trip just to let Robin sail with Kaido's flag.

Robin is now a free person and is not a wanted criminal by the World Government. Moreover, O'Hara and Beasts only have a mutually supportive relationship. All they need is each other's research on historical materials.

In this case, as a non-affiliated force, they are not qualified to use Kaido's flag, and providing convenience in other aspects is already a great convenience.

After all, the Beasts Pirates are Kaido's Beasts Pirates, and lending the flag to others must be approved by Kaido. Even if those senior officials have the same power, the flag must still be approved by Kaido after it is given out.

For pirates, flags are like tokens of war. Burning or destroying the opponent's pirate flag is a signal of declaring war. Similarly, using someone else's pirate flag without permission also means declaring war once discovered.

Impersonating another pirate group usually comes at a huge price.

Even though Yamato is the eldest daughter of the Beasts Pirates, she still does not have the qualifications to lend a flag to someone individually beyond Kaido's ability, so in order to help her friend once, she chose to ask Kaido for a flag.

Kaido’s answer was very simple: yes, but it depends on whether she is qualified and whether she has the qualifications and magnanimity to use her own flag.

Naturally, the only way to do this is to fight. In Kaido's view, the most effective way to prove one's value and qualifications is through force.

Fourteen-year-old Yamato has also entered puberty, and all aspects of his body are in a stage of rapid development. He has become much stronger than when he was a child.

When Kaido did not use his ability and released a sea at the same time, she fought with Kaido for three days and three nights. Although these three days and three nights were just playing for Kaido, for Yamato it was challenging his own limits.

As the last Wu Shi Bing Ya exhausted his physical strength, Kaido also let out a burst of wild laughter.

"Give it to whoever you want. You can use my flag however you want in the future."

After leaving these words, Kaido left Yamato on the training island and left alone. He only returned to Onigashima by himself after her physical strength had almost recovered.

Kaido was very satisfied with this performance. Even if he didn't use his ability, there were not many people who could play with him for three days in his normal state. Even supernovas could basically be defeated by them.

Except for those who are wearing the resurrection armor card bug, it is already very difficult for the newcomers in the first half to make him the second baton.

"Hey, there's this. I got this fabric from Brother Jin. It's waterproof, breathable, and light-blocking. He wears it on his face every day without feeling uncomfortable. There's no problem making a sleeve out of it."

"Isn't it already planned that I'll leave? Why are you doing so much?"

"What are you talking about? Aren't we friends? There are not so many things between friends. Oh, and this, I asked for it from my foster father."

As he spoke, Yamato took out a red Thousand Universe Arm, but this Thousand Universe Arm was hollow inside and looked more like a conch flute.

"My godfather has created a lot of Pokémon in the past few years. There are a lot of Gyarados and Lapras in the sea now. I heard from Jack that there are also Swampert and the like on Fishman Island. If you blow this at the beach, Pokémon around that hear it will come over."

It would not be so dangerous to get this flute, it was just a matter of words. Robin did not reject Yamato's kindness, but after hesitating for a while, he still asked a question.

"Well, Yamato, as for this flag... Arceus-sama also has the power to grant it, right?"

"Yes, my godfather and father don't care about such things."

"Then...why don't you just ask Lord Arceus for it?"

"Ah?"

Although it was a bit heartbreaking, Robin still asked the question. In fact, Yamato also wanted to go out together at that time. She and Robin were only two years apart in age, but Arceus directly rejected it.

Looking at the confused Yamato, Robin suddenly understood Arceus's thoughts. If no one was watching her when she sailed, she would be easily sold out. Although those people probably couldn't beat her, they would still be taught a lesson in the end.

"Yeah, why...why can't I just go to my godfather directly..."

The difference is not particularly big, it's just the difference between three days of hard work and one sentence, but she didn't think so much about it at the time, she just thought that if Kaido's flag was there, she should go find Kaido, and forgot about the matter of adaptability.
