Arceus' Pirate Journey
Page 51
However, the abilities of the Germa are all realistic. Quinn already had some knowledge of what Kaji was researching. Looking at the description of the finished product in the comics, he actually had an idea about the research direction of that part of the technology.
For him this is not just recreational reading, but also a research report.
And you don't have to go out of your way to buy it, just wait for the News Bird to deliver it to your door. Serialized publications are not regular content, but you can buy the full version for an extra 20 Baileys. It's a strategy of small profits but quick turnover.
Several people here happily pushed the carts back to the ship and began to tidy up the deck, but the battle over there was not over yet.
It’s not that the enemy is so strong, but that these people stick to him like a plaster.
He could choose to fly away directly, but judging from the current state of this group of people, they would definitely follow him. The purchasers might not have returned to the ship yet, so he couldn't just abandon them, right?
Moreover, Zephyr had made him helpless before. If he couldn't even deal with these guys and let them run to Arceus, then he would really be derelict in his duty.
“See that clock tower?”
"See, what are you going to do?"
"Just wait there." As he said that, he swung his tail hard and threw Naqin onto the tall tower of the bell tower.
Although she was a ship's doctor, she also worked part-time as a fighter on the ship. Her physical skills were not bad. With Jin's sufficient strength, she landed steadily on the bell tower. After throwing her out, Jin became more flexible in his movements.
"Scorching Star Emperor!"
The size of the rockfall can be adjusted. Stones wrapped in flames fell from the sky and began to indiscriminately attack the ground. Originally, some people used houses as cover to shoot at the enemies, but now the only choice is to destroy both the people and the houses.
There were no ordinary residents here from the beginning. This encirclement cannot be set up in a short time. I'm afraid the people here have been quietly replaced last night.
The bullets from the muskets have no effect on them now. After transforming into beasts, their bodies wrapped in flames make it impossible for ordinary firearms to cause damage. The battle at this moment is almost a massacre.
The Jin in the sky was spewing flames downwards from time to time. Under the light of the fire, it was like an evil dragon, destroying things wantonly.
"Yan Zai... Yan Zai, no wonder he is called Yan Zai..."
Although rocks appear from time to time in the flames, for humans, the shock brought by flames is far stronger than that of stones.
It was not until this time that they remembered the bounty. In addition to information such as his name and the pirate group he belonged to, he was given the title "Flame Disaster", a monster named after a disaster.
Fear surged from the bottom of their hearts. They had lost the courage to fight and their bodies wanted to leave here uncontrollably, but his perspective was spinning, and the last silhouette in his mind was a headless corpse lying on the street.
"That seems to be... me?"
"Brother Jin! We are coming!"
Different gunshots began to be heard from the periphery. Since the main island of the Beasts Pirates is now an industrial winter island, it can produce better munitions. Although these weapons will be used for foreign trade, they have also been popularized within their own pirate group.
Due to the different barrel structure, their gunshots are crisper.
However, just as the smart man had thought before, this battle did not take too much time, and when they arrived they could only do the finishing work.
However, the battle did not end there. Although those people were defeated, they did not flee to the seemingly safe areas, but ran to the areas where the fire was the most severe.
Water and fire are merciless. The way these people rushed straight into the sea of fire was too abnormal. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. He just waved his hand and stopped his men from continuing to chase.
"Hey, you've lived here for a while, right? Is there anything unusual over there?"
Naqin jumped down from the clock tower in a few steps. At the age of 80, she could achieve short-term rejuvenation by taking drugs, and had a brief fight with Hancock. Now she is only in her forties. Even if she is not a full-time fighter, her strength is much stronger than that of ordinary pirates.
It's just that she is very weak in group battles. Her strength has not yet reached the point where she can ignore the number of people and heavy weapons.
"Over there... there are only a few pharmacies and nothing else, but I remember it was a dead end. Why would they run over there?"
Standing high, you can see far. The walls of the bell tower blocked ordinary bullets. They had no time to operate the cannon under the attack. Even if someone tried to climb up, they were no match for Naqin in the narrow passage, so she still had time to observe the direction of the bounty hunters' escape.
At this moment, the flames that were burning all around suddenly went out. It wasn't just that they went out little by little, but all the flames in the range were extinguished in an instant.
Those who had originally escaped turned back again, and behind them followed a strange man whose stomach seemed to have turned into a blackboard with the words "fire" and "extinguish" written on them.
It is impossible for humans to grow a blackboard on their stomachs. This is obviously a fruit ability.
Bounty hunters are divided into strong and weak groups. Although they rarely appear, they are an indispensable part of the new world.
When pirates capture other pirates, if they do not want to recruit them but feel that keeping them is useless, they will send them to the navy in exchange for a bounty. As pirates, they naturally cannot do this kind of thing in person, so bounty hunters usually act as middlemen.
Bounty hunting is a profession with a very low entry threshold, and the professional quality varies greatly. However, one thing is that strength is crucial. If you want to survive in the new world, you must have a few capable people, and this person is the support of this group of bounty hunters.
It's just that he is usually only responsible for taking the money. He will only show up when there are problems that cannot be solved. As long as the money is in place, any business can be discussed.
Looking closely, the hut was the only intact part in the area affected by the flames, so intact that it didn't fit in with the surroundings.
"A bounty of 300 million berries. No wonder you can't deal with him. According to the agreement, his 300 million belongs to me, and you have to prepare another 100 million berries for me."
Chapter 124 The Benefits of Wearing a Vest When Going Out
All he talked about was money, but the surviving bounty hunters still agreed. Even though the previous attack showed no intention of letting them go, if they could have escaped, they really wouldn't have to hire him.
One hundred million berries is not easy to collect. Even if they do, it will cost them a lot of money. The professions of bounty hunters and pirates have some similarities. Both of them are people who enjoy life in the moment and no one would save money.
However, he only mentioned that the entire bounty would belong to him, but did not mention anyone else. After dividing the 100 million bounty of Naqin, they would still have some left.
"You just came out and you're talking weird stuff. Who do you think you are?"
A younger brother beside him obviously couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he picked up an axe and rushed out, but then he was knocked back. The thing that knocked him back seemed to be a ruler.
"No talking in class, no talking." As he said this, he wrote the word "quiet" on the blackboard on his stomach. The pirate who was beaten out suddenly found that he had lost the ability to speak.
Then he took up a large area of the blackboard and wrote down all the names.
"Violating classroom discipline, stand where you are!"
He is a person who has eaten the ability called the Classroom Fruit. He can choose an area as his classroom. Within the scope of the classroom, he can realize his authority as a teacher by writing on the blackboard of his body. Now the scope of his ability is roughly the size of a playground.
The larger the proportion of the blackboard occupied by the font, the stronger the effect of the ability. He just used this ability to extinguish the flames.
At this time, he used up all the remaining area, but he was worried that the force was not enough.
The area of the blackboard cannot be reused. Once it is full, no new operations can be performed and it must be erased. Once the font is erased, its function becomes invalid.
However, this ability only works on inanimate objects because he can only customize the classroom environment.
For living objects, he could only punish them, such as standing in the corner and keeping them from talking, and everything was related to the classroom rules.
Furthermore, there are two conditions for the ability to take effect on people. One is that they are hit by his ruler, and the other is that he knows the other person's name.
"Yan Zai, you are done, you can't move, just accept the punishment...Puff!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jin suddenly appear in front of him and punched him hard on the head.
"So much nonsense."
Although Jin's name was written on the blackboard, the prerequisite for the fruit's ability to work is that the name written must be the real name, and Jin is just Abel's code name. Abel is his real name.
From the beginning, this ability was not fully effective, which is also one of its biggest weaknesses.
However, sailors rarely use pseudonyms, and there may not be one in tens of thousands of people. Unfortunately, he met such a person. His physical skills were not strong, and he relied on the unique ability of the fruit to defeat his opponents.
He encountered Jin, who used a pseudonym. The only purpose of his appearance was to extinguish the fire in the town. If there was room on the ship, Quinn's plantation would probably have to recruit new manpower.
After dealing with this group of bounty hunters, Jin got the medicinal herbs he needed and some of the seeds from Naqin.
Although they are not good at this, they more or less know some basic knowledge of herbal medicine. The same is true for Sha Yinna. This is a strength they have developed during their young life on the run.
When it comes to handling medicinal materials, Naqin's level is indeed very high. If we only talk about herbs, I'm afraid Quinn can't compare to her.
"Do you want to join the Beasts? Your captain has been imprisoned, and no one has escaped from Impelton so far. The Walder Pirates have also been disbanded."
Whether it is the cultivation of herbs or the planting of tree fruits, these are the current development directions of the Beasts. Arceus is also trying to make a kind of herb, but he has not yet made it. He thinks Naqin's ability can be useful.
Maybe it can play a significant role in finding rare plants in the future.
Due to Kaido's leading role, these cadres will also try to recruit suitable people when they meet them. However, except for enemies, the means of recruitment by the Beasts are not so violent.
There are only three outcomes for the defeated: joining, death, or hard labor, but these external talents are different, so he sent out a recruitment to Naqin.
"The Walder Pirates are only temporarily disbanded, but do you have money? If the price is right, I can work for you until the captain shows up."
Binjack and Sebastian are also looking for ways to live. In order to avoid being exposed, Binjack asks them not to contact each other frequently unless they are sure that Walder has escaped.
It is also a good idea to find a powerful real force to temporarily rely on.
"As long as you have the ability, money is not a problem."
"Deal, but I need to clean up. The herbs I have are all very hard to get."
......
When Arceus' ship returned to the territory of the beasts again, the Winter Island was filled with a lively atmosphere. Unknowingly, it was the end of 1491 and the New Year of the Haiyuan calendar was about to arrive.
Not all islands are eligible to enjoy the New Year, because crises and accidents may occur no matter what day it is. If there is not enough power to protect the safety of the island, celebrating the New Year is just a luxury.
Moreover, the New Year means the arrival of winter. Except for the climate of those summer islands, the cold winter is more likely to take human lives. However, the territory of the beasts does not have this concern now, and the residents in the territory have the right to enjoy a good year.
The dividends for the past year have also been distributed to everyone. Liquid funds have a higher value. Since the island is ruled by a hundred beasts, the foreign trade here is the responsibility of the beasts.
Even if the wages and dividends were distributed to the residents of the island, they would still eventually circulate among the beasts, but they would greatly boost the island's economy.
Naqin temporarily became Quinn's deputy. In fact, Asie was more suitable, but she had not yet gained the trust of the Beasts, and such a stranger was not suitable for contacting Asie.
In the sky, the Millennium Dragons that have transformed into the Ancestral Birds are circling. They are particularly sensitive to time and will circle over the territory every year. They will calculate the time accurately, and when the millennium comes, they will return to Dragon Island in groups.
"Master Holy Beast, welcome back."
Since there were members of the Cult of Arceus on board, Sha Yina had already received the news that the ship was returning, and the island was also preparing for the New Year celebration. She had been waiting here for a long time. As the New Year was approaching, some things had to be done earlier.
For example, the plan to form the Beast Air Cavalry.
Chapter 125: Three Years
This was what the Millennium Dragon leader had promised in advance. They had obtained new power from Arceus and a safe living base from the beasts. The adult Millennium Dragons also had their own missions.
Due to the characteristics of the Archaea, Arceus had no intention of letting them participate in frontal combat, but only responsible for reconnaissance and surprise attacks.
The number of Millennium Dragons has not changed much. The dragon eggs brought back at that time have not yet hatched. The incubation time of Millennium Dragon eggs is as long as several decades.
And those young Millennium Dragons have not grown up yet. There are 15 adult Millennium Dragons including the leader, and each dragon can carry about four people on its back.
There are a total of fifty-eight places, and because two of them have been reserved, according to the discussion between Arceus and Kaido, this air cavalry will be handed over to Olga and become her direct team.
Because only Arceus and Inlisabeth can talk to the Millennium Dragon, Arceus cannot be a scout by himself, so Inlisabeth, who can communicate, is an indispensable member. Due to her binding nature with Olga, this team belongs to her by default.
Olga was very happy at first. Flying is one of the dreams of mankind. It is very good to be able to lead such a team. But correspondingly, she had to learn an air combat subject, and the teaching plan was compiled by other cadres of the Beast.
Kaido, Quinn, Jin, and Shayina all have the ability to fly. Jin and Shayina have been able to fly since childhood, so they know what to pay attention to in air combat.
Arceus added a lot of details. He was the only one who knew what a large-scale air battle was like. After all, the technology tree of Pirates was very distorted. Even if they had invented laser launchers and even if maneuverable devices could allow ships to take off, there were no flying vehicles like airplanes.
First, a recruitment was conducted within the team to see who wanted to join the Air Cavalry, and then the screening process began.
The first step of screening is very simple. You cannot be afraid of heights. The Millennium Dragon flies at a high altitude, so people who are afraid of heights naturally cannot be air cavalry.
The people here mainly make a living on the sea, so seasickness is rare, but a large number of people with fear of heights were screened out. Then they were screened based on height and weight.
Big guys are good at ground combat, but they are redundant in air combat. Air cavalry does not need close combat, so weight becomes a complete burden. They want thin and capable people so that more weapons can be added to the back of the Millennium Dragon.
After a rough screening, the number of people was much smaller, and among them were not only members of the Hundred Beasts, but also residents of the island.
The Beasts have also recruited residents on the island, because Kaido requires strong warriors even if they are just miscellaneous soldiers, and skinny cannon fodder is not what he needs. However, the number of people willing to join the pirate group is ultimately small.
It was not until the life on the island changed during this period that some people were willing to join the Beasts and become a pirate. This time, many local villagers signed up for the Air Cavalry.
After all, there are still some differences between air cavalry and ordinary pirates, but the probability of these ordinary people being screened out is higher, as they have been engaged in agriculture or commerce and lack the ability of warriors.
After the initial screening, the final screening was handed over to the Millennium Dragon itself. After all, these people would be on its back in the future. If the Millennium Dragon didn't like them, and the two parts of the Air Cavalry had no tacit understanding and cooperation, even if it was just reconnaissance, it would be ineffective.
As an air force unit, Arceus and Kaido did not expect this air cavalry to be able to be put into combat in a short period of time, so in addition to more rigorous training, the only thing left for these qualified candidates is to get along well with the Millennium Dragon.
If they were disliked by the Millennium Dragon, then they naturally could not stay here.
Olga has a very good relationship with Millennium Dragon, mainly because Yin Lishabeth can act as a translator, and she also saw the young master of Millennium Dragon when he was injured. After careful observation, it can be seen that most of the members of the Air Cavalry are people who participated in the treasure hunt incident.
Because they had left the impression of fighting side by side with the Millennium Dragon on the ship, they got along better.
......
Time passed unknowingly, and three years went by in a flash. The Beasts Pirates were no longer newcomers in the New World. In the past three years, they had proved their strength through one battle after another.
The career of a pirate is short, one year is enough for a pirate to grow from a so-called new star to a veteran pirate, and the current Beasts can also be called a veteran force in the new world.
The Beast Fruit product developed well. In the first year, it entered the high-end market through the channels of Du Field and Stussy, and gained its own reputation among nobles and kings in various countries, and then gradually occupied the high-end market.
No one can compare to Arceus when it comes to advertising and marketing. Having experienced many advertisements, he knows very well how to make a product sell well. Avocados are popular in the market under various names, so there is no reason why delicious tree fruits will not be successful.
The pirate world also has its share of celebrities, both in the black and white worlds. Officially, through Morgans' connections, they were able to successfully contact one of the most popular celebrities and spend a large sum of money to get him to be the spokesperson.
As for Stussy, the World Government believed that this was an opportunity for her to deepen her connection with the pirates and to more conveniently gather various intelligence, so instead of stopping her, they also helped Stussy and provided her with a number of channels and resources.
