Arceus' Pirate Journey

For example, Big Mom’s territory, Ten Thousand Nations - that is, the Kingdom of Totland. Although Big Mom has not yet occupied several islands, a basic base has already appeared.

Due to the ability of the Soul-Soul Fruit, she requires everyone living in her territory to hand over one month of their lifespan every six months as a unique protection fee for her territory. Coupled with her irregular bouts of cravings, the main island of her territory is extremely dangerous.

Big Mom forbids those who join Totland to leave. So far, those who want to leave will usually have their lifespans drained. However, if you calculate it carefully, the survival time in Totland is longer than that in the outside world, because under the protection of Big Mom, few pirates will cause trouble in the territory.

The same is true for this winter island. The flame of resistance exists, but most people choose to submit.

If the previous fighting between pirates had not made it almost impossible for these people to survive, they would not have thought of resisting at all.

Jin's steps would not stop because of their hesitation, and he had already arrived in front of everyone.

Chapter 62: The Gap in Military Strength

Every time Jin took a step forward, the others would take a step back. When Jin walked in front of them, Gabul was the only one left. It could be said that Gabul represented the last will to resist.

As long as this person is dealt with properly, even if others have the intention to resist, they will be suppressed due to fear or other reasons.

According to Jin's idea, the simplest way is to directly kill the person who dares to resist. After all, only a few people are not afraid of death. Under the absolute suppression of force, violent rule is the way chosen by many pirates.

This will leave the seeds of hatred and resistance, but as long as the use of force can be maintained, resistance will not be possible.

This is not the best method, but it is the fastest way. Except for the Lunalia people, all other people are foreigners. He will not be lenient towards these foreigners.

Arceus' request saved his life, and gentler means would not be suitable for direct killing, but if he continued to insist, that might not be the case.

His big hand grasped the barrel of his flintlock, and the barrel was twisted into a ball in his hand like a pretzel.

"This toy is useless. No one is willing to stand with you. Your resistance will be in vain. You will gain nothing except making your family sad."

The palm of Jin's hand also ignited with flames. The temperature was not as high as Sha Yinna's, but it was enough to kill a person.

"Wait, wait! Gabel is the best craftsman on this island. You must have occupied this island for the factory here. If you kill him, no one will be able to reach his level!"

Seeing the man about to take action, the village chief hesitated for a moment, but still stopped him and gave a very reasonable reason.

The arms manufactured in the factory are the main export products of this island and are also the target of most of the pirates who occupy this island. Gabul possesses technology that others cannot reach, and this is the only thing the village chief can think of as a "bargaining chip".

It is not an easy job to be the village chief in the pirates' territory, especially since this was previously John's territory. The notorious John is not an easy person to get along with.

It is useless to reason with him, only interests are fundamental.

"I will convince him to work for you. Killing him won't do you any good, right..."

He does not have a strong rebellious spirit like Gabul. He just wants the islanders to survive smoothly. It doesn't matter who the ruler is. Those pirates are all the same anyway.

In his eyes, the guns in his hands were not enough to trade with pirates. What really made the pirates willing to trade was the technology in their hands.

Those complicated machines are not something that anyone can operate, and pirates generally don't engage in production, so they need a sufficient number of workers.

So the owner of the island changed many times, but the residents of the island were not affected much.

"who are you?"

"I...I am the village chief here. When Captain John was in charge of this place before, I was also in charge of the affairs here."

"You'd better do this. We are the ones coming now. When the rest of you arrive, if you still have this thought, you will really die."

The atmosphere was almost set, and it was obvious that the village chief was the real person in charge here, as could be seen from the reactions of the people around him when he spoke.

The sound of gunfire coming from afar gradually weakened, which meant that all the fighting was over, both on the periphery and on Kaido's side.

"The battle is almost over. I'll give you two hours to integrate the people here and have a few people take us to the rest of the pirates' bases."

"I'll go with you. I know all the pirates' bases."

"Gabel you!"

"Don't worry, village chief. They won't be worried if I stay here, right? Please help me take care of my family."

The reason why he knew the location of the base was because he was planning the bombardment, so he summarized the places where all the pirate ships stayed.

The reason why he wanted to go was not because he wanted to do anything, but because he did not trust these pirates. The reason why the villagers were very resistant to resistance before was because during John's time, all those who tried to resist did not have a good ending.

Even though they have excellent skills, and even if the village chief said so, he didn't think he would let him go. In this case, it would be better not to drag down his family.

Gabor walked out of the safe house in the snow and wind. Everyone thought he would never come back, but two hours later, Gabor was brought back safe and sound, but he looked a little dazed.

Some pirates also sent some food. The food on the island was almost consumed, but those pirates were different. They still had sufficient supplies on their ships. As pirates, they had more channels for supplies than the islanders.

After they were defeated, these naturally became their spoils of war.

Now that this island has been occupied by the Beasts Pirates, we can’t let these people starve to death here.

After delivering the gifts, the pirates left. They were going to have a banquet. Kaido, who had abstained from drinking for many days, could no longer bear it.

"Gabel, how are you? What did they do to you?"

After the pirates walked away, many people surrounded Gabriel and touched him randomly.

Gabur's dull expression made them think that Gabur had been tortured, which was why he became like this.

"I'm fine, I just saw something incredible..."

Sha Yinna and the others didn't do anything. They just took care of hundreds of pirates and two pirate ships in front of him, and then returned unscathed.

The high-end combat forces of those pirates have been wiped out by Kaido, and the remaining small fry can't hurt them at all. This also made Gabriel realize how powerless his resistance is.

The idea of ​​freedom he insisted on was nothing but empty talk.

"I'm glad you're okay..."

"Village Chief, these are all food!"

"...It seems that these people are stronger than the previous ones. Let's share some of it. At least we can have enough to eat today."

The islanders had a rare full meal, and the Beasts also started their own banquet. As for the pirates who had originally fought for the ownership of the island, they suffered heavy losses, especially the top leaders of the pirate group.

Because the wine jar was smashed with great force, no one present could withstand Kaido's thundering anger. By the time Arceus and others reached Kaido, the battle was already over.

The surrendered pirates were treated roughly. The seriously injured were killed directly, and there was no intention to waste medical resources. Among the rest, those who were willing to surrender were temporarily accepted and used as coolies on the island.

Those who are unwilling to surrender will be executed directly. These people are not worth wasting time on.

Moreover, now is the time for the Beasts to establish their own base. In the future, these people will become the grassroots force of the Beasts Pirates, and these people cannot all be composed of captives.

Chapter 63 Slate Radar

Within a few days, the island made a simple plan, and the factory that had been shut down for a long time started operating again, but the operating policy had changed a lot, and the people on the island voluntarily went to work in the factory.

Although Kaido is the captain, it is normal for the captain to not take charge of things. There is usually another person in charge on the ship.

So far, the one who is best at managing personnel in the Beasts Pirates is Ashie. He used to be Alkami's manager and can be said to have more experience in this area.

He was not a vicious pirate, so he did not oppress the islanders blindly. Instead, he paid them a certain salary like a normal manager, but the salary was less than that of outsiders, and it was counted as taxes that the islanders had to pay.

And some rules were formulated for the island to restrict the pirates from harassing the residents without reason.

There were people who opposed it at the beginning. This kind of thing was incomprehensible to many pirates, but their opposition was meaningless. Kaido didn't care about this kind of thing. Arceus's behavior was supported by Arceus, which indirectly gained the consent of all the cadres.

Quinn felt that this matter was not a big deal, since his interests were not harmed anyway. Asier was not a stubborn person, and he knew that these pirates were not ordinary law enforcers, so he had stricter requirements on the islanders, which could be said to have divided the status of the island.

However, the islanders did not resist this request. Instead, they were very happy. Asieres' policies were much better than those during John's reign.

During John's time, they had to work in factories without any pay. They worked to ensure their survival. John's territory did not need worthless people. Once they could not demonstrate their value, John's crew would not provide any food.

On Winter Island, this kind of thing is almost fatal.

Although the work requirements set by Assie are now mandatory, in addition to the necessary food, a portion of the salary will be paid, which is a huge change for the people on the island.

As for the captured pirates, their status is even lower than that of civilians. In addition to the arms business, there is another business on the island - minerals.

Mining is undoubtedly a very difficult task in the climate of Winter Island, so this kind of work is given to those pirates with more physical strength. It also gives those people in the Beasts Pirates a place to vent their emotions, that is, the mine supervisors.

For these pirates, the policies formulated by Asier did not have so many restrictions. There were no special restrictions on beating, scolding or anything else.

The flag of the Beasts Pirates flies over the island, giving the island some stability.

Then, with this island as the center, Kaido began to expand to the surrounding islands, and the policy he implemented was very simple.

The pirates who voluntarily surrender will be taken in as his subordinates. Among those who resist, if there are those whom Kaido likes, he is willing to give them a chance. The rest will be thrown directly into the mines and farms on nearby islands.

The Winter Island alone needs to rely on the outside world, but the nearby islands together can form a complete industrial chain including minerals, manufacturing, grain production, etc.

Shayna and Jin followed Kaido to conquer territory, while Arceus brought Quinn and Axia to the factory on the island to study things like "Slate Radar".

"Do you remember how that thing was made?"

Arceus looked at the environment here and understood the reason why this island was established.

There are factories on every island. You don't necessarily have to choose this place just to make some arms, but this island actually has a very sophisticated machine tool that can process more delicate parts.

"That's it. This was one of MADS's secret bases back then. This is what we left behind."

"With this, you can make it?"

"Well... I'm not too sure. Vegapunk only made an experimental machine, and it's still a semi-finished product. But I know the idea, and I can replicate it with some time.

The conductivity of pure gold should be sufficient."

"I haven't forgotten how to make pure gold, but there is a problem. I looked it up earlier and found that many materials used to make pure gold are now banned. If you buy a large amount of it, it will likely attract the attention of the government."

"Mhahaha, don't worry about that. What this world lacks the least is the gray industry. Even the World Government cannot control the underground market all over the world, let alone in the New World."

"Really? I won't talk about the common materials. These are some scarce resources. See if you can get them."

Asier handed Quinn a list of materials. It was useless to just take it away without the proportions and synthesis methods. He was not afraid of exposing this.

When Quinn saw the list of materials, a few drops of sweat dripped down his forehead.

"Lord Arceus, maybe...our plan is not going so smoothly?"

"What's wrong."

"These materials... are too difficult to come by. Fresh branches and leaves of the precious tree Adam, eggshells of island turtles, these things are rare and expensive, but there are ways to find them. If you spend some time, you can always find them. The problem is that some materials have long been extinct..."

More than a hundred years have passed since he made pure gold. A lot of things have happened during this period. The conquest of South China Sea Emperor Fever is a matter of medical science.

But at the same time, many organisms and plants became extinct during this period. The production of pure gold is not a simple mineral synthesis, but also contains some animal and plant components.

"So, this ring contains the last bit of pure gold?"

"Well... I'm afraid that's the case. Maybe there are some left in the inventory of the Ancient Island or some people, but..." Quinn didn't continue speaking. He had no way to deal with this kind of thing. He couldn't transform extinct materials.

There was still a lot of pure gold in the stomach of the sea king, but he didn't care about it at that time. Now the sea king should have become food for other creatures. Judging from the proportion of pure gold, I don't know where in the deep sea it has been carried to by the ocean currents for such a long time.

Looking for pure gold is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is better to look for stone slabs directly.

"Gather some of those materials and slowly look for them. Let's try with what we have on hand first."

This news made him unhappy, but he did not vent his emotions on Asier or Quinn. After all, this was an uncontrollable factor.

As for using the power of time and space to go back to the past to find materials, by the time he possessed the power of time and space, he would have already recovered to his peak, so there was no need to do such a thing.

With the assistance of Arceus, Quinn and Athie stayed in this laboratory for several months, but their efforts were not in vain. A slate radar with a perception radius of about one kilometer was successfully built.

Chapter 64 Three-Line Operation

"A reconnaissance radius of one thousand meters..."

Arceus was not satisfied with the result, as the distance was much worse than his own perception range. Asie and Quinn also knew that the result was mediocre, but they had no other choice.

“There’s no way, Lord Arceus… Although you helped us solve the problem of reconnaissance fluctuations, the core components of this radar are made of pure gold, and only the properties of pure gold can allow this device to operate smoothly.

But we only have that much pure gold, and Asier and I have tried our best to stretch it, and this is the limit of what we can do at the moment."

A good cook cannot cook without rice. He made the original test machine and improved it. Asier solved the problem of core parts, but without raw materials, there was nothing they could do even if they had complete technology.

This is all they can get.

Even if they were not satisfied, there was nothing they could do. In a few months, they not only mastered the technology here, but also found out a lot of things. For example, some materials had disappeared from the world and could not be found even on the black market.

Now, in addition to the stone slabs, the beasts have to search for another ancient island. Only an environment like the ancient island can offer the possibility of survival.

During this time, they also tried to fish with the pure gold in their hands to see if the sea king had the luck to survive. It turned out that it did not have such luck.

But it's better than nothing. With this radar, at least we can operate on two lines while searching for stone slabs.

"Well... Lord Arceus, we can actually make a smaller one with the remaining materials. A sensing range of one thousand meters is an ideal value, and this value has the highest cost-effectiveness. If you want to increase the sensing range after this, you will need more pure gold.

The remaining pure gold can't extend the range any further, but with a little modification, it can probably make a small radar with a range of several hundred meters."

"You mean...delete the specific positioning function and only keep the general perception ability?"
