Arceus' Pirate Journey

It is still very complicated to build a Gundam now, but even if there is no Gundam, it is the same with monsters. There are people who like monsters. As long as they are not extremely ugly, even monsters can have their own fans.

"Ban~"

Bankira agreed with Yamato's words and thought it was very handsome, but the next moment, its actions broke this feeling.

It moved its arms, looked at its three little paws, grabbed a large piece of stone from the ground, and threw it into its mouth without saying a word. It had not enjoyed the feeling of a big meal for a long time.

Shakira is their pupa form. In this state, Shakira spends most of its time digesting the energy accumulated from the Kira period until it completes a new round of evolution.

The food stored in their bodies ensures that they do not lack food, but that does not mean they do not want to eat. For a foodie, not being able to eat happily for an entire period of time is simply torture.

Due to its body structure, it could only taste light food during the Shakila period. At that stage, its mouth was just a tiny slit, so it could only eat a little to satisfy its craving, otherwise it would have consumed all the previous building materials.

Whether it was mud or rocks, Bankira threw them into his mouth, and soon a big hole appeared on the ground. Only then did it stop with a feeling of unsatisfied desire.

He sat down on the ground with a look of satisfaction. Most people could not tell that this guy was actually a moving disaster, a real monster that could cause changes to mountains, rivers and streams.

And after it sat down, Yamato discovered something unusual. The sky suddenly darkened. It was not dark, but the dust covered the sun in the sky, and a huge sandstorm suddenly appeared here.

After evolving, Bankira lost its ground-type attribute and became a rock + evil Pokémon. At the same time, its characteristic also changed to sand-raising, and sandstorms would appear wherever it appeared.

The greening in Wano Country is very good, and sandstorms have not occurred for many years. The yellow sand all over the sky made the local residents a little overwhelmed for a while.

Before, it had just evolved and was not yet familiar with the power of physical strength. As it gradually took control of its own body, its own characteristics began to take effect. However, those who were most affected were not ordinary residents, but those who happened to pass by nearby.

This Bangira is not only huge in size, but also grows up eating seastone.

They cannot generate seastone freely, but in the first half hour after the stones are created, those stones have the same effect as seastone. After about 15 minutes, the power begins to dissipate, and after half an hour they become ordinary stones.

This was the conclusion reached when Geodude was born. The sandstorm created by this Bankira was not an ordinary sandstorm, but a seastone storm. On the battlefield, it could even seal off users with special abilities in an area.

In addition to sand and gravel, there is also dust. When people inhale this dust containing seastone, their abilities may be restricted at best, and they may even become paralyzed and fall to the ground at worst. The biggest disadvantage is that they cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

Speed ​​was affected by this and collapsed directly to the ground. The violent sandstorm was very painful when it hit his body. If no one helped, the weak ability user might be buried alive in front of Bankira.

"Bankira! Stop! Stop this sandstorm!"

At first, Yamato was curious about the climate because there was no desert country among the countries she had visited. But she soon discovered the problem. If the wind continued like this, it would really become a disaster.

Bankira's sandstorm is not uncontrollable, it is a special skill that uses its own energy. If it cannot be stopped, the sand-raising feature would have turned the world into a desert long ago.

Depending on the specific gravity of seastone energy, the range and intensity of the sandstorm can also be adjusted.

The scale and intensity of the sandstorm created by Bankira were not too great, but the sand and dust under her feet had already reached her ankles. If she didn't stop, she would surely be exhausted to death.

Arceus would probably have her in charge of clearing the sand, just like he had fixed the floor.

After hearing the order, Bangira began to mobilize the energy in his body. The sandstorm disappeared after lasting for a while. Bangira himself filled the pits he had eaten before with sand. As time passed, they turned into ordinary yellow sand again.

The excess part is eaten directly by itself, which greatly reduces waste. However, many houses around it are covered with dust, so a thorough cleaning is inevitable.

This behavior of expending physical energy to make sand and then eating it again does not replenish physical strength, but it can satisfy the craving for food. For Bankira, this is similar to a special kind of rumination.

Chapter 693: After defeating Kaido, you will be the boss here

Bankira ate sand silently, not interested in what was happening around him. In the records of the Pokémon world, Bankira mostly appeared as a disaster, and the damage it caused was even more serious than that of Gyarados.

Gyarados only destroys objects on the surface, but Bankira can actually change the course of mountains and rivers. For example, when they encounter a mountain, they sometimes don't choose to climb over or go around it, but eat it instead.

Digging a tunnel directly through the mountain to the other side, or directly blocking the river and building a bridge, these are all things that Bankira can do.

This Bankira is different. It has a more easy-going personality, but is a little greedy.

"This big guy... is definitely a nightmare for people with special abilities... ahem..."

Solitia and Mizeka helped Speed ​​up and patted her back. In the previous sandstorm, they all choked on sand, but Solitia and Mizeka, who had not eaten the fruit yet, were much better than Speed.

They were fine after just a couple of coughs, although they were covered in dirt and needed to take a good shower soon. But Speed ​​was different. Because of her personal performance, she was given a devil fruit at the previous Beast Annual Meeting.

This was originally her advantage, but now it has become a disadvantage.

"is it so serious?"

"Pfft, wait till you eat the fruit someday, then you can try it out and you'll know what it feels like."

He spat a few times, took off his coat and boots and shook them for a long time before cleaning up the sand. The remaining powder had no effect.

It is difficult to describe the feeling of powerlessness that seastone brings to those with special abilities. One can only say that the weaker the person, the greater the impact. If there is no way to block the sandstorm, a very scary magic-forbidden area will appear within the range, which does not distinguish between friend and foe.

As Shakira evolved into Bankira, new problems followed. It had to move to another place. When it was in pupa form, it could go anywhere, but now with its monster-like body, many places became inconvenient for it to go.

Onigashima can still accommodate it, but how to pass through the inland sea becomes a new problem. Shakira can fly by jet, but Bankira can't. It is a rock-type and can't swim, so it is not worth building a ship specifically for it to pass through the inland sea.

There are ships that can carry this size. The ships of Jack, Kaido, Arceus and others all have this capability, but those ships have more important uses.

In the past, there was no bridge connecting Onigashima and the mainland of Wano Country, and even the Hundred Beasts members on the island had to enter and exit here by boat. Now there is one more member who cannot swim, so the plan to build a bridge has been put on the agenda.

Today, there is no need for Onigashima to be completely separated from Wano Country.

With the evolution of Bankira, new activities are gradually put on the agenda. Bankira's appearance is not just a pet and partner. Like King Yanwu, it is intended to be used as a weapon of war.

King Yanwu was born earlier and had fought on behalf of all beasts many times, but Bankira was still a newcomer and needed a chance to go out and move around.

Baishou has a legitimate business called Baishou Fruit, which earns huge profits every year, but their essence is still pirates.

In the eyes of the people in the Beast Territory today, the Beasts are their protectors and the God of Wealth, who have provided many things that were not available before, but it is different in the eyes of outsiders.

In the eyes of outsiders, the beasts are not good people at all, but powerful villains. There are many things they won't do, but that doesn't mean they have nothing to do with pirates.

Fighting, looting, and robbing are still their daily routines, but they will choose their targets before taking action.

Whether it was pirates' treasure, supplies from other caravans or kingdoms, or supplies escorted by the navy, they dared to rob them.

Everything within the territory is under their protection, but the situation is different for non-partners outside the territory.

Yamato doesn't like this more realistic pirate life very much. She prefers adventure rather than plundering.

......

"Godfather, isn't this unnecessary?"

That day, in front of the treasure house of Onigashima, when Arceus was counting some strategic materials, Yamato standing beside him raised his own questions.

"what do you mean?"

"The money we earned from the Hundred Beasts Fruit and Taizuolo is enough to spend, and there are also a lot of treasures on that island and the gold on Sky Island. I think treasure hunting alone is enough to cover our daily expenses. There is no need to fight them and take these things back."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said. This income can sustain the expenses of the entire Hundred Beasts. We don't rely on plundering to survive."

The pirates who make a living by robbery are all low-level pirates. The sea emperor of the New World has long transformed this method into taxation, as long as the income is robbed.

There is no difference in essence, except that most of the treasures of other pirates were also robbed from others. The difference is that they did not handle them directly, which makes them feel a little better on a moral level.

"Then why..."

"Because the current governor of the Beasts Pirates is named Kaido. If you want to completely change everything, I don't object, provided that you can defeat your father."

"Ah..."

"This is a twisted world. A piece of empty paper cannot bind anyone. The strong impose their own "order" based on their own preferences. Whether you want to change the beasts or the whole world, you have to be strong enough."

The beasts are now more accustomed to it because Kaido himself is a fighter. It is harder to stop him from fighting than to stop him from drinking. Arceus's people are developing, while Kaido's people are developing military strength and planning for the future war.

Kaido’s philosophy has always been that the strong are respected and status is determined by force. If he is really defeated by Yamato one day, he might accept her request.

"Defeat him... Hey, foster father, you should know what my father looks like in his strongest form. Does he have any weaknesses?"

"Don't think about those unrealistic things. Unless you stab him in the heart in advance, there is no point in knowing his weaknesses. The battle with Whitebeard was basically when he was at his strongest.

But he will become stronger, and you still have a long way to go before you can defeat him. Instead of daydreaming, why not try to talk to Zekrom and Rashiram? They are easy to communicate with, and I have helped you enough."

What Yamato experienced was not a race of a fixed distance, but a chase. While she was getting stronger, Kaido was also improving his strength through endless battles. The perfection of the Collapsing Eight Diagrams was proof of this. It would not be an easy road to surpass him.

The power of the two dragons is the simplest way to break through, but so far, Yamato has only dealt with half of Zekrom.

Chapter 694: Kaido’s Supply Method

Listening to Arceus' words, Yamato thought of some very horrifying images, or memories. After all, three quarters of her 20 years of life had been spent being beaten by Kaido.

Given Kaido's personality, it is impossible to change his ideas. Only force can make him change his mind.

As for Zekrom and Lysram... She tried hard, but the progress was limited. She could only say that there were a few small results. Now Zekrom would sometimes listen to her nagging and give some replies, unlike before when he was completely indifferent.

Lai Xiram remained the same. She didn't think it was easy to get along with these two.

There was no need to ask Yamato, Arceus had already received certain feedback from Zekrom and Lysram. Zekrom was okay, but Lysram's evaluation of Yamato was absolutely naive and he had no idea what the truth was.

"Yamato, maybe it's time to expose you to more reality."

"reality?"

"Take Speed ​​and the others with you, and go out to sea alone for half a month. You can go anywhere."

Half a month's time is equivalent to a round trip, which is only a week's journey. The time is not too abundant, but it is acceptable. If the ship is fast enough, this time is enough to get from the territory of the beasts to the territory of BIG MOM.

"What's the point of this?"

"Of course, because this time is different from the past. You are truly traveling alone. We will not provide you with any help in terms of supplies and logistics."

At this time, Yamato still didn't understand what this sentence meant. It was not until the moment of sailing that she understood what it all meant.

"Where is my boat? How did it become a wooden boat like this?"

What is in front of her is not her exclusive vehicle, but an ordinary small sea vessel in Wano Country. If her navigation skills are not up to standard, it is unknown whether she can sail out of Wano Country.

"Master Guiji, this is the order of Master Arceus. Your ship was also built with the financial resources and technology of the Beasts, and is also part of the material logistics. Apart from Danshui, there is no other material on this ship..."

Yamato was born different from ordinary people, and Kaido's thinking made her childhood unhappy. This is the result of the presence of Arceus. Even with this variable, it can only be said to be mixed.

But she has never lacked for material things. From the day she was born, Jellyfish and Miltank have been with her. Everything she eats and uses is top-notch. Even when she grew up, she still has the same equipment for traveling.

The logistics of the Beast Ship met her needs, and combined with the various cutting-edge technologies on board and her own strength, her voyage was more like an outing.

Therefore, she has never experienced the "reality" of the sea. With this strength, she can avoid most troubles, but the loss of external materials can also allow her to better experience this world.

If she hadn't been unable to operate the boat by herself, she might have really experienced traveling alone.

After Speed ​​and the other two were assigned to Yamato, they served as her deputies. According to their different interests, the three also learned different knowledge. Speed, who was a part-time navigator, Mizeka, who was a part-time cook, and Solitia, who was a part-time helmsman, were just able to operate most of the ships.

As for Yamato herself, in addition to being the captain, she can also do all the hard work and military activities.

If it was her own ship, there would be plenty of Pokémon that could help her, but now they were gone.

At the same time as she set sail, the Origin was also ready and began a new round of voyage. However, compared to the glorious Origin, this small boat seemed a little shaky.

......

"What year is this antique ship from?"

After feeling the side of the ship and looking at the dust on his hands, Yamato began to doubt whether the ship could still be sailed.

"Master Guiji, Master Arceus said that this is the boat they used when they first set sail. It is not valuable in itself, but it is very memorable... If you damage it..."

"What will happen? Just tell me directly. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"Well... Lord Arceus means... if it is broken, then for the next year, Governor Kaido will not stop him from doing anything."

Snap, snap.

Yamato patted himself on the face to cheer himself up.

"Okay! The first goal of this voyage is to protect this ship no matter what!"

When there is no interference, Kaido behaves like a madman. If no one intervenes for a year... she dare not imagine what kind of horrible days that would be.

From the moment they set out, she kept a close eye on anything that could threaten the boat. If Arceus hadn't greeted the Magikarp and Gyarados outside, she would have planned to ask them to help pull the boat. After all, the ocean currents outside Wano Country were too dangerous.

In the end, she chose to use Wu Shi Bing Ya to freeze out a relatively safe route and drove smoothly towards the outside world.

......

About a week after Arceus and Yamato left Wano Country, Kaido received new information from his subordinates. Both of them had left Wano Country, and the one who stayed here and made the decisive judgment was of course Kaido.

"Brother Kaido, this is the consumption this year. Due to various reasons, precious wood has become particularly popular this year. Various forces are collecting high-quality wood from outside, and our ships have also suffered serious damage in the war. I'm afraid that this year's replenishment will have to be delayed..."

"Jack, have you been infected by Yamato?"

Listening to Jack's report, he scratched his head impatiently.

"Ah, Brother Kaido, what do you mean..."

"We are pirates, why don't we just go find whoever has it? Why do you still have to wait in line?

Let me think... Last time I passed by the Kingdom of Stantine, I seemed to see that they had a very good fleet. You can go there and rob 10 ships and bring them back as a supplement."
