Arceus' Pirate Journey

So Ammon keenly captured the information and successfully eavesdropped on the government department's Den Den Mushi.

Barrett's previous demon-killing order was not issued through communication but was launched directly, so he did not detect the message.

But this time was different. The World Government had been discussing repeatedly whether to issue a demon-killing order, and he got the news from a relative.

After all, the Demon Slayer Order requires a powerful force consisting of ten warships and five vice admirals, so some things still need to be handled with caution.

[O'Hara....Demon Killing Order....Destroy everything....Must not expose...]

Den Den Mushi read out the information it had discovered to Quinn one after another.

"This is really big news..."

......

In Onigashima, Yamato is still struggling with different ball games, including tennis, volleyball, football, and now it has been upgraded to dodgeball, and the difficulty is also increasing.

"Yamato, the rules of the game have changed from now on. You have to judge whether the ball can hit you, and then dodge it. If you dodge a ball that was not supposed to hit you, you know the result."

But as soon as Kaido threw the ball, Quinn rushed in.

"Brother Kaido, Lord Arceus, the World Government is making a big move...Ah!"

What greeted him was the rubber ball thrown by Kaido. He felt a very sour and refreshing feeling when the rubber ball hit his face.

"Big news? What did they do again?"

"It's the Demon Killing Order. They seem to be planning to wipe out O'Hara Island in the West Sea."

Quinn covered his nose and handed over the information eavesdropped by Ammonite. Kaido threw the ball with enough force to hurt Yamato. This amount of force would not have much impact on Quinn except for a little soreness. A little nosebleed was no big deal for the Plague.

"O'Hara? What is that place?"

Kaido is not familiar with this term. There are countless islands in the four seas and the Grand Line. It is impossible for him to remember the names of all the islands. Even though O'Hara is a holy place for history, Kaido is not interested in history.

"O'Hara, the Island of History. If you want to understand the information in the historical texts, O'Hara is an important part. I almost forgot about this."

The internal affairs of the Beasts Pirates, the development of Pokémon, teaching the children, and finding the stone tablets, some unimportant things were naturally thrown behind my mind, but I would not forget such things, and I would remember them when some key words were mentioned.

The text of the historical text is not circulated. Even for Olga and Asier, it is an ancient text. Only two types of people can translate the historical text.

As for the direct descendants of the Kozuki family and the scholars of O'Hara, there is no need to mention the Kozuki family. Those stubborn people are unlikely to help them translate the historical text, so the only channel is the scholars of O'Hara.

Normally those scholars might not accept the pirates' invitation, but it is different now. The Demon Slaying Order means the government's erasure, and these historians have violated a taboo for the World Government.

If they want to continue studying the history in their hearts, then the Beasts Pirates are their only chance. Either they disappear forever with their documents, or they leave with the Beasts. There is no third way.

There are not many people who can eavesdrop on the secrets of the World Government, and even fewer who are capable of taking people away from the Demon Slayer Order.

They may not be afraid of death, but their death means that many things will disappear forever, which is unbearable for them who want to record history.

“Have you started the action?”

"Not yet. We are still planning. It will take at least half a month before we can start. Olga happens to be in Xihai. Is there anything we should do?"

"Her abilities are suitable, but she can't do this alone. Kaido, I'm going to the West Sea."

Ten warships and five vice admirals were not something Olga could handle. Although he had no intention of confronting the Demon Slayer Order head-on, he still had to make a plan for this.

The goal of going there is to find people, not to take your own people in.

"You going? How about I go? It's faster to fly over there."

“No, it won’t take long to cross the Calm Belt, and I don’t want to see news like [Kaido fights the Demon Slayer Order and kidnaps illegal scholars] in future newspapers.”

If Kaido were allowed to go there, this kind of news would most likely be the headlines of future newspapers.

Moreover, those people who study history should know a lot about ancient relics, and they might make some new discoveries, so this trip won’t be a big deal.

"Then I'll leave it to you. It's just in time to train Yamato more these few days."

As he was speaking, Kaido realized that Yamato was gone, and she was now lying on the ground hugging Arceus' legs.

"Godfather, take me with you! If you leave me here alone, you will never see me again!"

She just poked the ball that hit Quinn's face and found that it was actually a solid rubber ball. Even if it was a hollow volleyball that hit her, she would have felt half dead. If this solid ball...

And with Arceus there, Kaido's training will be more restrained, it's just devilish training. Without Arceus, the training difficulty will be at the level of death purgatory.

She heard Quinn say half a month, which means the round trip would be a month. A month... She felt that she would definitely die at Kaido's hands.

The only one who can save her on the entire ghost island is Arceus. She must seize the last chance before this life-saving straw leaves.

"Godfather, you don't want to never see me again after you come back, right? The intensity of my training will kill people, for sure!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? At most I'll beat you half to death. Don't be afraid. You won't die."

"Godfather, you heard me, I don't want to be like that, save me!"

Chapter 234 Sauro and the Warring States

"What nonsense are you talking about, Yamato? This is your daily training, and I left you some rest time."

"Is taking a break every three months still considered a break? The last time I took a break was during the New Year! Godfather, I haven't left Wano Country for a long time. Please take me with you this time. I beg you."

Yamato cuddled on Arceus' lap like a sloth. She had absolutely no intention of staying here and facing Kaido's training alone.

She had now learned to act like a spoiled child and looked at Arceus with tears in her eyes.

"Kaidou, how about I take her to have a look? It's a good opportunity for her to understand the firepower of the navy. If there's any training, I'll give her the training on the ship."

He was not going to stop the Demon Slaying Order. He did not intend to do anything that would not benefit him at all. The World Government could no longer tolerate the existence of those historians, so it mobilized the Demon Slaying Order.

Since the establishment of the World Government, the only person who has not died under the Demon Killing Order is Barrett. Any ordinary creatures left on the island will be directly annihilated under the powerful firepower. The refuge ship arranged by the government is their only way of retreat.

During the period of fire coverage, the navy and the world government will not enter that area. As long as the people inside are taken away during this period of time, no one will know where those scholars have gone.

The firepower of the Demon-Slaying Order is enough to flatten an island by three meters. It is normal to leave no corpses under this firepower.

"It's up to you, but Yamato, if you go this time, the difficulty of training will increase when you come back. Have you really thought about it?"

After hearing what Kaido said, Yamato thought for a few seconds and still insisted on participating in this operation. She roughly estimated that even if the difficulty increased, it would not be too fatal with Arceus there.

If you don't go with them, you will probably have to spend every night in the hospital.

The Origin was towed out of the dock again, and within an hour, Onigashima completed the ship's preparations for sailing, and Olga, who was far away in the West Sea, also received new instructions.

Her own Den Den Mushi had just been left on the ship, so it was the pirates who stayed on the ship who came to report the news.

"Sister Olga, an order from Ghost Island!"

"Ghost Island? Why are you giving orders at this time?"

"It's an emergency operation. Lord Arceus gave the order himself, asking us to go to this sea area and wait."

"But things here are not over yet."

"Lord Arceus said that we can ignore the things here for now. We have to reach the target sea area within 10 days." As he said that, he took out the prepared nautical chart and pointed to the target area. If they wanted to get there within the specified time, they could not delay any longer.

"Got it, everyone return to the ship! Get ready to sail!"

After receiving the order, Olga led the pirates away from the ruins and drove away the big lion. She was not interested in what would happen to O'Hara's archaeological team next.

In order to pass through the doldrums, the Shadow Fox was powered by both sails and outer wheels. It was now sailing at full speed towards its target sea area. Their goal was to meet up with the Origin there and then wait for further instructions.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Olga activated her ability after the ship started. Now, looking from a distance, the location where the Shadow Fox was sailing was empty, just a ghost ship.

O'Hara's expedition team also ended their investigation after a while and left the island. Their information was not as well-informed as the Beasts Pirates, so they ran into trouble soon after leaving the island and were chased by the navy.

This is not the first time that this has happened. The Navy has been capturing historical exploration ships in accordance with the instructions of the World Government. They have even shaken off warships in the past, but this time is different.

This was not an ordinary patrol ship from Sihai, but a large warship from the headquarters. When they showed no intention of stopping, the ship's guns directly bombarded them.

Their ship was not built for combat, and was paralyzed on the sea under the bombardment of the headquarters firepower ship...

...

"Stop! Who told you to fire? Can't you just get closer and capture them alive? Their ship can't escape!"

Seeing his navy directly firing cannons, the giant on the ship showed an unhappy look. He was Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters - Haguval D. Sauro.

Because of the special combat power of the giants, all the giants who join the navy have the rank of lieutenant general, and he is the commander of this ship.

"But Admiral...they escaped..."

"They are not some vicious pirates, just a group of weak scholars. Can't you even deal with them?"

However, since things had already happened, he did not make things difficult for his soldiers. He simply arranged for people to investigate the situation on the ship.

He was the highest commander on the ship. Normally, his soldiers would not disobey his orders. But this time it was different. The instructions from the higher-ups allowed direct killing, so some soldiers fired without asking for permission. This was not considered a violation of discipline.

This is also what Sauro didn't understand. He had carried out similar orders several times and he didn't understand why those scholars had to die.

"Lieutenant General Sauro, there is a survivor on board!"

There were 34 scholars in the expedition team, 33 of whom were killed in the bombardment. Nicole Olivia became the only survivor and was imprisoned in a branch of the West Sea under the custody of Sauro.

And here, Sauro met an unexpected person.

"General Sengoku, why are you here? Are there any pirates that need your personal help?"

The admiral of the headquarters appeared in the four seas, which was a rare thing for the navy. The last time an admiral entered the four seas was because of the "John occupation of the branch incident."

"It's a secret mission for the World Government. After discussion, it was decided to launch a demon-killing order against O'Hara, and you are one of the five lieutenant generals in charge of the operation."

"But General, they are just a group of scholars. Is it necessary to kill them all? So far, I have arrested six teams of scholars. None of them have committed any serious crimes. They are just curious about history.

If it is really that dangerous, wouldn't it be better to let the world government participate in the research? This way, we can explore the truth and prevent accidents...

So far we have killed many scholars and launched the Demon Killing Order... Please tell me the reason for their death penalty!"

He hoped to get an explanation from Zhan Guo, but Zhan Guo didn't want to explain anything.

"Sauro, are you questioning the order of the World Government? This is an order, and all you have to do is execute it!" As he said this, he fed the document in his hand to his little goat.

"Yes...."

Although he agreed, Sauro was not relieved by Zhan Guo's answer, so he went to the prison under the pretext of torture and found Nicole Olivia.

Chapter 235: We must follow procedures when doing things

"Oh no! Lieutenant General Sauro has defected! He has also kidnapped Nicole Olivia!"

Although the giants' huge size caused many inconveniences, it also came in handy at times. For example, when he took Olivia away, he just held her in his hand, and no one noticed that he had brought Olivia out.

When they found out, he had already robbed two ships and left the branch. If he was discovered inside the branch, with Zhan Guo guarding there, he would have no chance of success.

After all, no matter what the World Government's orders are, Sengoku will eventually choose to accept and complete them, even if this matter is not to his liking.

When Zhan Guo learned about this, he immediately sent out pursuers. Sauro knew the detailed plan, and it would be a big trouble to let him leave like this.

"Sauro, you can't return to the navy like this, right?"

“It doesn’t matter. From the beginning of the operation, I began to doubt the justice of the navy. Maybe this is in line with their laws, but it is too cruel. This is not the justice I recognize.

I had no intention of continuing to work here, so now I can go home."

As long as he can return to his hometown, he will not be afraid of anything. Although he is not a giant from Elbaf, the several giant countries in the world are closely connected.

Due to the giants' own military power, they also have an agreement with the World Government. Giant warriors can join the navy, and the navy can arrest giants who violate regulations in the open sea, but they cannot take action within the borders of the Giant Country.

"Okay, we're parting ways now. It should still be in time for you to go back and inform them to escape. Come on, hehe..."

With a devilish laugh, Sauro and Olivia parted ways, and Sauro had to face the pursuit from his former colleagues. He had already seen the shadows of those pursuers.

At the same time, Olga was approaching the rendezvous point, and the Origin had passed through the doldrums. Yamato's voyage this time was not as pleasant as before. Although Arceus did not come up with any killer tennis balls, he had electric balls.

Currently, three electric balls are surrounding Yamato under the control of Arceus. The irregular, non-targeted and completely random attacks have caused Yamato a lot of trouble.

The amount of electricity in the electric ball can be controlled, so being attacked will only cause brief paralysis.

"Godfather, you have been led astray by your father. You were not like this before!"

"This time I'm really doing this for your own good. My electric balls will only make you feel numb, but the enemy's attacks won't be that simple."

.....

A few days later, the Origin and Shadow Fox met at the designated location.

This is a crescent-shaped island. At this moment, the two ships are in the crescent-shaped harbor. The large number of plants spawned by Arceus cover the hulls. If you don't look closely, the two ships have already merged with the island.

"Olga, how much area does your fantasy cover right now?"

"With me as the center, it's about a spherical space of 200 meters. What's the matter, Lord Arceus? What is the mission of this operation?"
