Arceus' Pirate Journey

Chapter 1443 The one who reached the end with incredible ability was...

Whoosh~!

In front of the dragon dance team there is a person holding a "Dragon Ball", but the shape of this Dragon Ball is more like a star. As the midnight bell rings, the 37th year of the Holy Calendar has arrived, and the "Dragon Ball" seems to be pulled by an unknown force and flies high into the sky.

Even the statue of Rayquaza, which had been flying under human power, seemed to come alive at this moment, and chased after it with a loud roar.

The bright green light disappeared into the horizon, leaving only a thin mist that dissipated under the wind before it hit the ground.

"Well done, Vermeer, a perfect closing."

At the top of the monastery, two men were sitting on the roof and observing the scene on the street with a telescope. Not only Rayquaza, but also many Pokémon images used for the celebration disappeared at this moment.

The root of all this is this member of the church. Three years have brought about a lot of changes. In addition to new things, there are also many things that appeared in the old era, such as the Bibi Fruit that Kanjuro originally ate.

This ability, similar to the magic brush of Ma Liang, can play a very wonderful role, especially in the hands of new people with this ability, it has also been developed to have the ability to delay start.

The delicate image created with the brush came into play at this last moment, completing the curtain call of the celebration.

No matter what ability it is, it will show different effects depending on the user. The unscientific ability of the devil fruit itself and the magical ability of Pokémon can bring new and beautiful changes to the world.

"We've rehearsed so many times. If something unexpected happens, I'll just regret it for the rest of my life."

He said he was relaxed, but it was not difficult to tell from his slightly trembling hands that he was quite excited inside.

This year's development was also different from previous years. Although there were sporadic sounds of fireworks and firecrackers heard all around, they were all set off by ordinary people themselves, and there were no organized large-scale fireworks shows.

In the sky in the center of Wano Country, several shining circles of light appeared out of thin air, and then turned into twenty-five separate individuals and dispersed in all directions. The sudden appearance of the circles of light cut through the darkness, bringing an unusual light in the night.

Even the locals of Wano Country didn't notice that there were twenty-five more pillars around, comparable to Fujiyama, with various "foursomes" standing on the pillars.

The public announcement screen of Wano Country also changed the picture at this time, and Quinn, dressed very festively, appeared here.

“Hahaha! Welcome to the carnival moment. I, the rising star in the entertainment industry, the handsome Lord Quinn, will host this unprecedented carnival event. Everyone, cheer together!”

On the big stage of Ghost Island, Quinn was introducing the situation here as if he was letting himself go.

“First of all, we have to thank Lord Arceus for the changes that have been brought to this world, and Lord Kaido for breaking the original rules... Well, I believe no one wants to listen to this long list of thanks, so let’s skip the rest!

Today we will have a very special competition. Twenty-five teams will participate in an unlimited obstacle marathon. The first person to reach the finish line will have a chance to experience something quite amazing! "

Quinn snapped his fingers, and the scene on the screen instantly switched to a new environment, in which even Pluto could be seen.

“As you can see, the fleet led by Governor Kaido has found a new planet, and everything on this planet is food!

Champagne flying from the sky, bark made of potato chips, and even an island made of desserts! By the way, these foods will bring some pretty good changes to the body. "

This was the first location Kaido and his crew sailed to. Apart from a variety of delicious creatures, they did not find any signs of civilization there. They left after resupplying and leaving a beacon.

This happened not long ago, which gave this event a head start.

“The unlimited obstacle course marathon is just what it sounds like, but it’s not as unlimited as you might think.

Except for the areas where fighting is allowed, fighting is not allowed in other locations. You must get the key beacons at important nodes. The first one to reach the finish line after collecting all the beacons is the winner!

In order to show our fairness and impartiality, let me now introduce our judging panel to you!

Sister Misu from the church, our dear Lady Onihime, the current Navy Admiral Kuzan, oh, and Shanks, the president of the Uta Fan Club.

At the same time, I would like to thank many Pokémon for their contributions. The competition begins now! "

The venue of the competition was not within the scope of current human understanding, but a special space. Just as Quinn's opening remarks said, when the celebration reached its end, Arceus gave them a little help.

It is also because of this that many different things are born suddenly. The appearance of the track is related to Palkia's spatial power, and the golden ring is also inextricably linked to Hoopa.

The prizes for entertainment activities are not very formal, but they are very novel.

According to the research of scholars on board the ship, the food on that planet has incredible abilities. Just by eating it, one can enhance one's physical fitness. This is also what Quinn calls a beneficial change.

However, some people did not pay attention to the introduction that followed, and the Food Planet alone attracted all their attention.

"Go! Heke! Hurry up and catch up with Uta. Can you catch up with that cabbage? Do you need my help?"

"Who are you calling Cabbage?! I'm the third most popular male star in the world! Cavendish!"

"I see. Isn't he the one standing behind Brooke? Hurry up and catch up!"

As he spoke, Luffy had already run out first, not caring at all about how ugly Cavendish's face was.

"This kid... is really infuriating."

"Luffy is just like that. Don't worry about the details, Cavendish. Don't forget why you came here."

Uta's original choice was Shanks, but the organizer had put him on the suspension list without hesitation, so Cavendish was finally found as a substitute. To be precise, it was Cavendish himself who applied to be the substitute.

When he heard that this was a worldwide live broadcast event, he joined in without hesitation, hoping to gain more attention.

Heroku joined the team as a Pokémon. As an almost all-round Pokémon, its integration was quite smooth. However, although it can fly, it did not gain much flying advantage.

The rules only told them the number and approximate location of the node beacons, but there was no accurate hint, and there was also some information about the beacons mixed in along the way.

In order not to miss the beacon, it is a relatively wise choice to proceed along the track step by step.

"Good! We can see that Team Uta has set off first. This team doesn't seem to have any intention of organizing tactics. Maybe they have their own considerations. I wish our Miss Diva all the best.

The other teams have also started now, let's see who will be the first to enter the main track..."

Each of the twenty-five teams has its own starting point, and they will not meet before merging into the main road.

"Well, the first to enter the main road are... Kuina's team from the task force! They found a shortcut that wasn't marked on the map! They found the easter egg of the game! This luck is unexpectedly good!"

From Quinn's God's perspective, everything was indeed going smoothly. They made a bizarre choice at a fork in the road, suddenly walked into a forest path, and finally went straight to the first beacon on the main road.

But only the parties involved know what really happened.

"Kuina! No, I can't watch Zoro by myself. We have to hold him together. We are lucky this time. What if he runs the wrong way again?!"

Chopper patted his chest, obviously he hasn't recovered from his recent experience. He is the person with special abilities called by Zoro. The original Straw Hat Pirates were a whole, and the crew members were partners who could rely on each other.

However, no matter how close friends are, there is still a degree of closeness and distance. The male crew member who cares about Chopper the most is undoubtedly Zoro. Therefore, when the need for a person with special abilities was mentioned, the first person he thought of was not Luffy, but Chopper.

When it comes to major issues, Luffy is obviously not very reliable.

Unfortunately, just because the person you are looking for is reliable doesn’t mean you can be reliable as well. The reason they took the small road was simple: Zoro was lost.

"Damn it, why does it have to be a race mode? I shouldn't have looked for Zoro..."

"What do you two mean? I just took you to a shortcut, didn't I?! What are you dissatisfied with?"

Faced with the questioning of the man and the deer, Zoro seemed a little impatient.

"Don't waste time here, just find the key and go to the next level."

"Dark Night Demon, please, for safety's sake, Chopper, could you please carry Zoro in your deer form? This way he won't get lost."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Zoro's opinion was directly ignored. At this point, everyone except himself had already formed a deep-rooted impression that he would get lost.

While Zoro was still trying to find the key, they had already completed the distribution, and the Night Slayer used his ethereal arm to directly insert into the keyhole of the box in front of him and sucked the beacon into his body.

"Don't just stand there, Zoro, come up quickly. The mission requires you not to destroy the box, but it doesn't say you have to find the key."

Chopper turned into a majestic deer, carried Zoro on his back, and continued the chase.

"Chopper! This way! You're going the wrong way!"

With Guina's correction, they ran on the right path with difficulty, and the contestants gradually came to the main track.

......

"The teams have gradually arrived at the main track, and the competition is about to enter a fierce stage. The team leading now is Rami from the church. She has already started solving puzzles at the second node.

However, this team only has two people, and it seems that they have chosen to act separately...

Appeared! Luo and his partner Qiangbalu caught up with him using the power of the fruit! It seems that he has obtained the beacon. In this case, this team is now the undisputed number one! "

"Did you find it, brother?"

"Found it, how are you doing?"

"I figured it out. The beacon is in this area. I'll leave it to you, brother."

With that, Rami turned over, mounted his flaming horse and continued running forward, leaving Luo alone to search for the beacon. This was also their tactic. In order not to miss the beacon information, Rami had to run the entire course.

However, Rami did not participate in the search process, but went directly to the next location, leaving Luo to search from behind, and finally using the displacement of the surgery fruit to catch up.

As long as there are no mistakes in the links, they can save a lot of time. So far, they are also the group with the best results.

......

"Hehe, come on, eat all of this quickly, then you can move on!"

The restrictions in different stages are also different. In order to avoid it becoming a pure melee, the level settings are very diverse. For example, the restriction of this level is that you can only move forward after eating all the Pokémon food in front of you.

"Forget it, He Ke, you are too slow. Let me help you."

When Heke was eating vigorously, Luffy did not cheer him on like Uta did, but joined in personally. With his ability to swallow with big rubber mouths, he even licked the bowl clean.

"set off!"

"Referee! I protest! I protest! This is cheating! Who eats Pokémon food?!"

The team nearby noticed the anomaly and immediately complained to the camera that was following the incident.

"Dear audience, you can see some strange phenomena happening in the arena. The referee team is discussing... Well, the conclusion is that it is not a foul! Because the rules do not restrict who gets to eat it!"

Quinn's words were directly broadcast to the stadium and changed the mindset of many players. However, looking at the special Pokémon food, most people still chose not to eat it.

......

Each team had its own strengths, and under the constraints of different levels and links, and even in the face of traps set by other groups to interfere with their progress, they did not open up any significant gap.

The rules only say no fighting, but they don't say no destruction. Broken bridges, upside-down road signs, broken peaks, and other messy obstacles are everywhere along the way.

The race is about to reach the last area where fighting is allowed.

"The competition has entered a fierce stage! The Meowna team is in good momentum. The Negative Ghost of the Bear and Perona has blocked many competitors. They have already rushed into the first echelon!"

Due to the team's qualification allocation, Wolf is now shouting for support in the audience, as only one of the brother and sister is participating in the competition.

"The beacons of the teams that can come here have basically been found. The Minks basically all know how to use the electromagnetic levitation skill. Now they generally have the advantage of flying. However, the last section of the journey is by water, so the Murloc team may be able to turn defeat into victory.

You can see that Melo has destroyed the floating bridge with his water bubbles!"

As a senior, Manderfesh did not choose to participate in the competition himself, but gave the qualification to his daughter. Even Jinbe himself was pulled in to become a contestant.

However, whether it is the Pokémon or the human part, Mello's team tends to be water-oriented, and their operations on land are not very smooth. They are currently at the end of the first echelon that has just been differentiated.

In Quinn's opinion, the remaining waterway might well be their opportunity.

"Wait! The team in the battle zone is Ulti's! They are missing half of their beacons! It looks like they are planning to snatch the other team's beacons here, which really fits her personality~"

Other teams also noticed Ulti's location and discovered her plan. Luo, who had just met up with Lamy, was about to remind Lamy to prepare for a group transfer, but Quinn, who was in charge of the commentary, discovered a special situation.

"No! What happened? Roronoa Zoro and his reindeer friend Chopper separated from their captain and reached the finish line first?!

But he didn't carry a beacon, so it wouldn't count as a result. Is there something wrong with their task allocation?!"

Looking at this incredible scene, Quinn was a little confused.

"We will put this question aside for now. The director will replay it after the game is over. From this point of view, the result of this game is really confusing."

Chapter 1444: The power of the rule system always makes people feel puzzled

"How did that guy get to that position?!"

"Has he discovered the hidden shortcut? But it seems the game is not over yet."

"It's the beacon! He doesn't have the beacon! The beacon must still be on his teammates, stop them! Otherwise, if the beacon is sent over, they will be first!"

The other contestants also noticed this and quickly guessed some clues.

Although the twenty-five teams are fighting on their own, there is only one winner. When one person is too far ahead of the rest of the group, he or she naturally becomes the public enemy of everyone.

The clothes and number tags have already revealed their identities. Kuina immediately noticed several eyes focused on her.

"Zoro is getting more and more outrageous. How can he go the wrong way while riding on someone else's back..."

Although Kuina was condemning Zoro's strange behavior of getting lost, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. No matter how Zoro did it, they were only one step away from victory.

"Night Slayer! Don't worry about me, just send the beacon to Zoro!"

Any member of the team who reaches the finish line with the beacon wins. The rules never require that all members must be present, and the ghost attribute has already shown its advantage at this time.
