Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Wait, let me check. The place where Steelix disappeared is this island. Many islands nearby are not our territory. Let's start from this sea area."

Yamato took out a nautical chart with many folds and marks on it, and quickly circled the approximate exploration location. Maria felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Jack didn't care about such trivial matters, so the Mammoth continued to sail towards that sea area.

But Yamato didn't know that the matter of her departure was clearly known to Onijima.

"Master Shengjuu, Miss Yamato has already set off on Jack's ship, and the sea chart is definitely in her hands. Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

The disappearance of the Steel Armored Crow did not happen in these two days. It was almost the time when the sky island was attacked, and the No. 28 taxi did not return. No one took it seriously at the time.

Due to the abnormal climate of the Grand Route, the Steelix cannot guarantee the stability of the route. When encountering force majeure factors, they will choose to take a detour or dock at a nearby island and continue sailing with passengers after the storm ends.

But after several days, there was still no information about Car No. 28. When Baishou followed the positioning device on the car to search for it, he only saw the damaged car on the island.

The remaining people and Steelix are all missing, and it can be confirmed that they are missing.

Afterwards, the beasts quickly locked onto the approximate range of the sea area and conducted a certain degree of search, but without any results.

When Shaina was reporting the latest situation today, Arceus was a little angry. It is not common for Pokémon to disappear, let alone a Pokémon like Steelix that is like a taxi.

Yamato made this decision after accidentally overhearing the conversation between Shaina and Arceus.

In order to allow her to continue growing, Arceus and Shayna pretended that they did not notice Yamato and allowed her to take the sea chart.

"No need, she's not a child anymore, just do what you want, but there seems to be something wrong behind this."

Arceus didn't go there in person, but there was also an expedition team of beasts nearby, but they did not find a trace of the steel armored crow, as if it had mysteriously disappeared.

No matter who is behind this, this matter is not simple.

"Yes, Lord Holy Beast, I'm leaving now. Please call me if you need anything."

After finishing the matters at hand, Shayna left here temporarily, and Arceus also made a phone call - Kaido's call.

This was also the opportunity that he did not go to find personally. It was best to leave one person on Onigashima. Kaido was away before, so Arceus naturally stayed here.

......

"Hey, Kaido."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Any clues on that matter?"

Arceus asked Kaido very directly. Kaido had been wandering around outside before, so it was natural that this matter was handed over to him.

The disappearance of the armored crow is not just that simple, it also represents the beasts, and its disappearance means that someone is provoking the dignity of the beasts.

"A little bit, but I'm not sure."

"It doesn't matter. Yamato has gone to your area of ​​the sea. You can take care of her secretly, but if there is nothing else, you don't have to show up."

"Hehe, that girl has started to take the initiative. Don't worry, I am very sensible in this regard. You don't have to worry about what's happening here. Just focus on other things."

After a burst of laughter, Kaido hung up the phone, giving the other party a reassurance.

But most people cannot bear his care. Given Kaido's character, as long as the person is still alive, it is not a big deal. Even if Yamato knew that there was such an insurance, he would not rely on Kaido.

...

Far away from where Steelix disappeared, a huge island also appeared in the sky.

Moreover, this island does not seem to be an island made up of island clouds, but more like a natural isolated island.

The island floats in the air due to an unknown force, and there are even waterfalls flowing down.

There are all kinds of strange beasts living on the island, which are not suitable for human habitation at all, but even such a place is still occupied by people.

Puff, puff. There was a strange sound in the air, and a man wearing a scarf and dressed like a clown walked out.

"Kalakalakal, Captain Ski, there is a new breakthrough."

Dr. Indigo, a cadre of the Flying Pirates, a scientist, and a senior cadre who has always followed Golden Lion.

Many years ago, in order to successfully escape from the "Impulse City", Golden Lion cut off his feet that were bound by seastone shackles.

And used the two swords Yingju and Muku as prosthetic limbs.

After escaping from prison, Shiji came to the new world, discussed future plans with Whitebeard, and then came to an island called "Vermejo".

Here, the Golden Lion discovered the island's special plants.

There are many edible ingredients in this plant, one of which is called IQ.

For many years, he hid his whereabouts and studied "IQ" with his trusted deputy Dr. Indigo, and lived on a floating island planning his comeback.

But their plan did not go smoothly. Although IQ can make wild beasts more aggressive, it can also make them out of control, so there was no result.

"What breakthrough?"

"It's the iron bird. IQ has a big impact on it, but it's still within control."

A few days ago, they discovered a Steelix by chance. Compared with pure beasts, these intelligent Pokémon are more suitable for this kind of thing.

This is the reason why Steelix disappeared. Golden Lion used his ability to keep carriage No. 28 and began to study the Steelix that pulled the carriage.

Chapter 655: He is just a trainee, what can he do?

Golden Lion was also a famous pirate on the sea in his time. He lived in the same era as Whitebeard and Roger, and was even a monster that led an era.

If it weren't for bad luck, the outcome of the Battle of Edwall would have changed the balance of the entire world.

His ambition is not only to be the Pirate King, but to rule the entire world. Just like his former captain Rocks, they both have the ambition to be the king of the world.

However, after the Battle of Eidwall, Golden Lion first lost a large number of troops, and then because of Roger's surrender, he single-handedly broke into the Navy Headquarters and was arrested and imprisoned. Although he escaped from prison with the courage to cut off his own legs, Golden Lion's thoughts seemed to have changed after that.

Crocodile, who was defeated by Whitebeard, is looking for Pluto, hoping to borrow the power of ancient weapons. Moriah, who was defeated by Kaido, began to seek an immortal zombie army because all his companions died.

After encountering setbacks, some people forget that their own strength is the foundation and begin to seek external forces.

The Golden Lion is somewhat similar, but not exactly the same. He needs more troops so that he can prove his power of revenge to the World Government. Rather than humans, he sets his sights on wild beasts.

In fact, he has a simpler way, which is to use his ability to float the islands over important locations.

In this way, if he dies or falls into a coma, the island will fall, causing irreversible damage to the country below.

But it was fortunate that he did not do so. Such behavior would seriously challenge the balance maintained by the World Government. Once his purpose in doing so was exposed, the World Government would eliminate him at all costs.

Even if his death would result in huge casualties, the World Government would not choose to hold back. They would not care about the lives and deaths of people from a few countries.

It would be the same even if he suspended the island above Marijoa. Even if it was just an island, the World Government had a way to deal with it.

They have been able to stand for eight hundred years, relying on military force. In the process, countless islands have been evaporated by special means.

This is also the reason why the Hundred Beasts are only expanding. Facing unknown forces, finding all the stone slabs is the safest way. They have no shortage of time and can spend a few more years finding the lost stone slabs. There will be no possibility of any rollover and no large-scale casualties.

.....

Puff, puff.

Sonorous, sonorous.

Two strange footsteps were heard one after another. The fake feet made of Golden Lion's two swords and Indigo's weird farting shoes made strange noises. There were not many people on this island. They were all the diehard fans who were taken away by Indigo back then, and they were also the last team of Golden Lion.

"Admiral, IQ is very effective for this creature. Its explosive power after going berserk is even more terrifying, and it still retains a certain degree of sanity, but the situation is very special. You will know when you come and see it."

Indigo took Golden Lion to the laboratory on the island. As the door opened, a loud noise was heard in the room.

"What's going on? Isn't this guy afraid of the IQ plant?"

There are many giant beasts on this island that they have transformed using IQ. Even the Golden Lions cannot control these monsters and can only limit their living range using the scent of the IQ plants that they fear.

These monsters were originally just ordinary animals on the island.

14 years ago, the people, animals and plants on this island lived in harmony. This changed only after the Golden Lion discovered this place and used the power of the Floating Fruit to move the island away.

The plants were studied by his subordinate Indigo, the animals were transformed, and the original residents became the ones who provided daily necessities for his remnants.

But this time, Indigo used a cage to confine the opponent instead of a plant.

Faced with the Golden Lion's question, Indigo did not answer, but instead danced and made strange movements, just like doing yoga, and put his body into various strange shapes.

"Oh, that's right, I understand."

"How did you understand?

! ”

Seeing that the Golden Lion understood what he meant, Brother Indigo was unable to understand.

"It's so clear. Isn't this guy afraid of IQ?"

This is the daily life between Golden Lion and Indigo. At this time, Indigo is Golden Lion's most trusted subordinate, and he can understand even his strange behavior.

Indigo reached out and removed the black cloth covering the cage, revealing the slightly manic Steelix underneath.

"This crow is made of steel. It was only when its strength was almost exhausted that the iron cage could barely hold it.

Besides, it can fly, so IQ alone is useless."

"Isn't this the same as those beasts? Even more ferocious."

"No, Admiral, look at this."

As he spoke, Indigo brought out a piece of paper with a golden pattern engraved on it. When the paper appeared in front of Steelix, it suddenly calmed down from its originally manic state.

"Ok?"

"It's this pattern. I discovered by accident that even if it enters a violent state, it will not attack people with this pattern."

As he spoke, Indigo demonstrated it. After sticking the pattern on his chest, he boldly reached his hand in and touched the body of the violent Steelix.

Although Steelix let out a low growl, he still restrained his behavior and did not attack Indigo.

Before this, Brother Indigo had already let many people try it out and it was basically safe. In addition, the Golden Lion was right behind him, so he dared to be so bold.

"In other words, this diagram can be used to control it?"

"No, it seems that it can't understand commands when it's in a berserk state. And there's only one individual, so we can't continue the experiment. Our current conclusion is that this pattern can make it give up attacking, but we don't know the limit of its endurance."

As Indigo said this, he handed the paper to the Golden Lion. At the same time as the Golden Lion lost the paper, the Steel Crow's beak poked out from the gap in the iron cage, aiming at Indigo.

"Interesting, this pattern... Is this something new that little Kaido came up with?"

The flag on it is not Kaido's pirate flag, but the logo of Arceus's Thousand Arms. The IQ makes Steelix become violent, and all living things will be its target of attack, but the instinct in its bones makes it still abide by the rules set by its creator.

But its confused mind only remembered Qianzhou Wrist, and it no longer had the ability to distinguish the others.

"So, Indigo, this bird is the most suitable creature at the moment, right?"

"That's what it looks like at the moment, but Admiral, these crows seem to be creatures controlled by the Beasts Pirates."

"Beast? That guy is just a trainee. When I was a pirate, he was a kid from nowhere."

The Golden Lion has no fear of Kaido. He has not cut off contact with the outside world over the years, but the information he can receive is very limited...

Chapter 656 "Fools Have Good Luck"

Golden Lion's memory of Kaido still remains before the Battle of God Valley. After that, he had little contact with Kaido. When Kaido was growing up, Golden Lion had already become a famous pirate on the sea.

In his opinion, only people like Whitebeard and Roger are worthy of being his opponents. An apprentice like Kaido, who relied on Charlotte Linlin to grow successfully on the ship, is not a big problem at all.

After moving these islands into the sky, Golden Lion began to develop them, relying on the remaining population on the islands to lead a self-sufficient life, and the degree of isolation was comparable to the previous sky islands.

Occasionally he would see some news in the newspapers, but he didn't take it to heart. For example, he didn't take the title of Emperor of the Sea seriously. In his opinion, if he hadn't retired, he would be the person closest to the Pirate King.

"Have you found the whereabouts of these birds?"

"Not yet. These crows move irregularly between the islands. According to what those people said, these crows seem to be responsible for picking up and dropping off guests between islands."

Not only Steelix was captured, but also the passengers in the taxi. After Golden Lion got the information he wanted from them, he threw them into the village on the island.

"Let's release it and see if it will return to its nest by itself. Brother Indigo, you should have something that can locate it, right?"

“That’s not difficult, but will it really return to its nest after it’s released?”

"It's the instinct of birds to return to their nests. Even if they don't go back, don't they have a locator?"

A bus with a fixed route is easy to find, just wait on the fixed route, but Steelix is ​​a taxi, not a bus.

They don't have to follow fixed routes when flying in the sky, and they will even choose a more suitable route according to the situation. Kaido's territory is now very large, and the operating range of the Steelix Taxi even includes the territories of Shihai and Charlotte Linlin.

As long as they have money, they can take passengers to most places. In this case, finding a Steel Crow is like looking for a needle in a haystack. They can only pin their hopes on the Steel Crow in their hands.
