Chapter 06: Page 6

Look at how excited Kaido was just now. He was about to become sworn brothers with Arceus. Changing the name won’t affect anything.

"Eat more fruit. That kind of banana will absorb the sugar in the fruit you eat. The normal result is twice a year. No matter how much fruit you eat, it will only increase the sweetness of the fruit next time."

After becoming Arceus, he gained many more memories about Pokémon in his mind, including species, characteristics, abilities, preferences, habits, etc., including the banana growth cycle of Dragonite.

This result, twice a year, was like a bolt from lightning to Quinn. To wait for half a year for such delicious fruit was simply torture from hell. He shouldn't have eaten them all. He should have tried to grow them earlier.

By this time he had made up his mind to find a tropical island to grow bananas when the next fruit was ready.

Of course, that was all in the future. The problem now was that they should leave. Now that he had the news about the stone slab, he was not interested in waiting any longer.

"Kaido! Stop drinking and find the John you mentioned!"

"Hehe, you're really impatient. But it's time to go out to sea. Quinn, where's the boat you prepared?"

"Here, let's go, but it might be a bit crowded."

Quinn did prepare a boat, but this boat was designed for him and Kaido. There was no dock here. Although Quinn had good technical skills, he was not Doraemon and could not directly take out a boat. What he saw in front of him was just a large fishing boat, but the engine had been modified.

After adding Jin, Shayna, and Arceus, there was no extra space on the ship, and it was not even convenient to turn around.

"Aren't you all able to fly... Why are we crammed into this small boat?"

In Arceus's opinion, the simplest way was for Kaido to roll up a cloud of flames and take everyone away. However, seeing this small boat, Kaido walked up to it with great interest.

Compared to the small boat and barrel that Luffy used when he sailed, and Blackbeard's raft, this fishing boat with an engine is indeed much more advanced, but its speed is definitely not as fast as flying.

"This is the first voyage of the Beasts Pirates. What's the point of not having a ship? We will have big ships in the future. Let's set sail now! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Chapter 13 Kaido's Phone Call

"Why! It's obviously the boat I prepared, why do you want me to scout the situation? You can fly faster than me." Above the sea, Quinn, who had transformed into a tropical dragon, flew beside the boat. He was sent out to scout the situation in the nearby waters, and he had quite a few complaints about it.

"Mr. Kaido is the captain. The Holy Beast cannot fly yet. I have to take care of him. If you don't go, who will?"

"Isn't there still this guy?"

"You take up as much space as he does, and you still have to steer the ship. Besides, don't you think the whole ship will be more spacious after it flies? If you prepare a bigger ship, this problem won't happen!"

Quinn did not leave the side of the ship, and Sha Yinna was standing beside him arguing with Quinn.

"Besides, didn't you just say you wanted to try out your new ability? What a great opportunity, let's go."

Kaido had no intention of intervening in the dispute between Shayna and Quinn. In his opinion, this was very normal. He also had to admit one thing, that among all the people present, Quinn occupied the largest area. After he flew up, the ship not only became much more spacious, but also increased in speed.

Quinn also flapped his leaf-like wings behind him and flew high into the sky. He wanted to get to know his new body as quickly as possible, so he could occasionally see some attacks falling from the sky from the small boat below.

"By the way...where exactly is this place?"

Looking at the endless sea, Arceus wanted to figure out which sea this was, the Four Seas or the Grand Line, and if it was the Grand Line, was it the first half or the second half.

At this time, Roger had not yet become the Pirate King, but there were still many powerful people on the sea. The enemies encountered in different seas were also different, so this still needed to be paid attention to.

With the strength of their small boat, as long as they are not in the new world, they can basically move around freely.

"I'm sorry, Master Shengjuu, we don't know where this is. We were near the Sabaody Archipelago before we were arrested, but we don't know where the laboratory is."

"That research institute is on the Red Soil Continent. We came directly from the Red Soil Continent. This is the South China Sea. The direction we are heading to now is the Calm Belt."

Quinn flew around and landed back, and gave Arceus the result he wanted to know.

The Grand Line and the Red Earth Continent divide the world into four parts like longitude and latitude. There are wide calm belts on both sides of the Grand Line, and below them are the lairs of the giant beasts called Poseidon. They are the biggest threat to ships on the sea.

There is only one way for ordinary pirates to enter the Grand Line, and that is to rush up through the unreasonable currents of Upside Down Mountain.

For a group of people like them who can fly, climbing upside down the mountain is no longer a necessary option. Instead, crossing the doldrums is much more convenient for them.

This is also one of the ways to leave the Grand Line. Upside-Down Mountain is a one-way street, and there is no underwater cave like the Fishman Island below. It is not easy to enter the Grand Line, and it is equally difficult to leave the Grand Line.

If ordinary people have money, they can go through Marijoa and reach any place in the four seas by land, but this requires changing ships, and pirates do not have this qualification.

For pirates who want to leave the Grand Line and return to the Four Seas, they can either abandon their ship, climb up from Upside-Down Mountain, avoid the eyes and ears of the World Government and take the opportunity to return to the Four Seas, or cross the Calm Belt.

Being in a doldrums does not mean certain death. As long as the ship has other power sources and is lucky enough to avoid areas where sea kings gather, it is still possible to return safely.

The World Government and the Navy allowed those troublesome pirates to enter the Grand Line and did not set up fortresses at Mount Inverted and the Sabaody Archipelago to block them. This may also be their intention.

Compared to the vast Four Seas, the Grand Line is much smaller in area. Although there are more powerful people here, the cornerstone of the world government and the providers of many taxes are civilians. The number of civilians in the Four Seas far exceeds that in the Grand Line.

It is actually a good thing that those rioters leave, so that we can better concentrate our forces to deal with them.

This may be one of the reasons, but ultimately it is the world government's problem to make this decision.

However, what the World Government decides to do has nothing to do with Arceus. Now he has realized another thing: it is Quinn, not Kaido, who is pointing the way.

"Kaido, what's going on? Don't tell me Quinn also knows where John is."

Ever since Kaido said he had seen the stone tablet in the treasure house of the Rocks Pirates, he just wanted to find John as soon as possible.

It doesn’t matter if Kaido can’t beat John, as long as he’s within a certain range of the stone slab, he can make the stone slab return to its place by itself.

The lack of strength made him feel very inconvenient now, and he couldn't even scratch his back.

And the special ring around his waist is called the "Thousand Arms", which is also a manifestation of his power. After all, in the legend, Arceus is also a creature with a thousand hands.

The good news is that the Qianzhou Wrist will not affect his movements now. Although it looks extremely solid, it is actually controllable. For example, when he wants to lie down, the Qianzhou Wrist will soften instead of sticking him there stiffly.

To activate the power of the Qianzhou Wrist, about four stone tablets are needed. This number is enough for him to master the power of transformation and flight. Of course it would be better if he could find a super-powered stone tablet directly.

There is a one in sixteen chance that the stone tablet in Captain John's treasure is the magical stone tablet of the super power system. He has already paid the "salary" for this stone tablet in advance, so he can't slack off.

"Of course Quinn doesn't know. Didn't I also say that I don't know where he is now? We need to recruit some people first, otherwise we will have to do too many things ourselves. And don't worry, that guy won't stay in Sihai with his personality.

Those guys got together because of an opportunity to "make a lot of money". I can be sure of two things: the legendary treasure has not been found yet, and that thing must be in the Grand Line.

John is a greedy guy, he won't let this go."

To prove this, Kaido said to Quinn: "Quinn, bring me a Den Den Mushi."

After taking the Den Den Mushi handed over by Quinn, Kaido dialed a number.

"Bulu bulu bulu~bru bulu bulu~"

After a noise, the Den Den Mushi changed into another appearance and a female voice came out of it.

"Well, well, well~ Kaido, you actually called me, it's really rare. I thought you died in the Valley of the Gods after not hearing from you for so many years."

"Stop kidding, Lingling. I won't die in a place like that. I just have a question for you. You should know where that guy John went, right?"

Chapter 14 Eliminate Half of the Wrong Answers

Charlotte Linlin, BIGMOM, is an old acquaintance of Kaido and a former member of the Rocks Pirates. When Kaido was still a trainee crew member, Charlotte Linlin was already a formal crew member.

And when Kaido got on the ship, she told him that Rocks was not trustworthy and that he could come to her if he had any problems. She regarded Kaido as her younger brother, and on the day when the Rocks Pirate Group was destroyed, she gave the Fish-Fish Fruit - Mythical Beast - Blue Dragon Form to Kaido.

It can be said that Kaido was able to leave the Valley of the Gods thanks to the devil fruit given by Charlotte Linlin, so Charlotte Linlin has always said that Kaido owed her a big favor.

Now, it has just been five years since the demise of Rocks, the overlord of the sea, Gol D. Roger has not yet become the Pirate King, and there is no concept of Pirate King and Emperor of the Sea on the ocean, but there are still many powerful pirates.

They regarded some islands as their own territories, developed their own strength, and became local tyrants of a region. Among these pirates, the powerful pirates of the New World had the highest status.

Charlotte Linlin is such a person. She now has her own territory in the New World and is more proficient in a lot of information than Kaido.

"John? What do you want with him?"

At this time, Charlotte Linlin's pirate group was on an island full of fruits. Her chefs were making vegetable and fruit cakes, while she was rubbing her bulging belly and taking care of the fetus.

Looking at the original Four Emperors, Whitebeard adopted a godson, Kaido opened a kindergarten, Red Hair looked for partners all over the world, and Big Mom looked for a husband all over the world and gave birth to a family for herself.

The main members of the Big Mom Pirates are also composed entirely of their own children, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, and they have the strongest family atmosphere.

At this time, she was pregnant with her 40th child.

She was quite happy that her little brother Kaido called her suddenly, but she didn't expect that this little brother would start by asking about John's whereabouts.

"Don't worry about that. I just want to know where John is?"

"Hmm? Kaido, is this how you talk to your benefactor?"

"I told you not to keep dwelling on this matter. Do you know where John is?"

"Well, well, Kaido, you are still so impatient. Rumor has it that he has a huge treasure. Do you also want to join forces with me? We can share the treasure equally. John is not easy to deal with."

Big Mom was smiling nonchalantly on the other side of the Den Den Mushi, but she had already made a gesture to Perospero beside her.

"No, I just want his whereabouts."

"You are so ruthless. You were not like this back then. He appeared on Hatsinos Island not long ago and then went to Paradise. There are many people in the New World who are eyeing him. I don't know about the rest."

Looking at the information brought by Perospero, Big Mom said to Kaido.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido cut off the Den Den Mushi. Looking at the Den Den Mushi in her hand, Charlotte Linlin showed an unhappy look on her face, but she soon forgot about it under the aroma of the baked cake.

She was not very interested in Captain John's treasure, mainly because the effort and reward were not proportional. Now her territory could bring in enough income.

After all, John is a member of Locke's ship. There are no weak people on this ship, and everyone who can get on board has his special abilities.

Her children were not strong enough to deal with John, so she had to do it herself, but now she was busy giving birth to a child.

In addition, John's whereabouts were erratic, so she only knew that he had left the New World and went to the first half.

If Kaido found the other party, she could help if the reward was right, but since Kaido rejected her, there was no need for her to take the initiative to help.

"Well, now we can be sure that John is not in the New World but in Paradise. The woman's words are still credible."

Not only the navy is paying attention to the movements of those big pirates, other pirates are also paying attention to their movements.

There are indeed some pirates who go to sea for the purpose of exploration or because of financial difficulties, but these pirates are only a very small minority. There are also corrupt officials in the navy, but most people are more willing to trust the navy than pirates.

In today's world where there are no great secret treasures, pirates go out to sea more for wealth, that is, their own interests.

Only the lowest-level pirates would run away after robbing. The big pirates all have their own fixed territories. They will even act as protectors for the residents in the territories. Of course, they will also collect protection fees. They are like alternative lords.

Few people would do such a foolish thing as draining the pond to catch all the fish. Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. They won't rob the residents in their own territory, at least the big and powerful pirates won't do that.

Charlotte Linlin is a brutal pirate. According to the normal timeline, the future Ten Thousand Kingdoms will use lifespans as rent. But even so, there are still a large number of ordinary people willing to live in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms.

Ordinary people need shelter. The Navy only protects the member states of the World Government. For those who do not have enough power outside the member states, what they need to do is to find a suitable umbrella of protection.

They need safe land to live on, and the great pirates need this land to feed themselves and their men.

In order to prevent others from seizing their territory, of course they had to pay attention to the movements of those powerful pirates.

There are countless powerful men on the sea today, and Charlotte Linlin, Shiki the Golden Lion, Whitebeard, Captain John, and other former members of the Rocks Pirates are undoubtedly the best among them.

The greater the fame, the more people know him, and his personality and hobbies will also be known to the world. For example, Captain John likes money and has been pursuing money all his life.

An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. At some point, rumors began to spread on the sea that Captain John had a large treasure, and more and more people were eyeing the treasure in his hands.

He is not invincible. There are too many people in the New World who can pose a threat to him, so after careful consideration, he decided to return to the first half of the Grand Line, the area called Paradise, and hide the treasure first. This is the safest way.

"We will enter the Grand Line first, then recruit a group of people, and slowly find out John's whereabouts. The scope you gave is too general, so we can only slowly search like this."

Kaido doesn't want to go the elite route completely. He wants high-end combat power and a large number of subordinates. When he was young, he was a warrior of the Woka Kingdom and knew that numbers are also needed in war.

But the people of the Four Seas were too weak, so he decided to go directly to the Grand Line to recruit his men.

Chapter 15 News Bird

The power device made by Quinn is quite efficient, but the power source is charged by pedaling, and enough energy can be accumulated by pedaling for a period of time.

Although it is very unphysical, it is very reasonable. In this world where Coke can be used as a power source, Newton's coffin would have been unable to hold him down long ago.

Well, I guess Tesla and the others can’t suppress it either.

Arceus had stepped on that pedal before, mainly because he was bored and had nothing to do.

Arceus couldn't think of any suitable adjective to describe the sailing days except boring.

He hadn't seen any islands for several days, and there was nothing but sea water all around him. In this situation, he couldn't become a fisherman even if he wanted to.

If the days go on for a while longer, he will have to choose to go into hibernation.

After Kaido finished his phone call with Big Mom, he drank all the remaining wine and slept for several days with no intention of getting up.

When Quinn was not scouting the situation, he was studying himself, mainly modifying his robotic arm.

Sometimes he would practice sparring with Sha Yinna, and sometimes he would just stare aimlessly at the distant coastline, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Quinn, how long will it take before we enter the doldrums?"

"It will probably take another seven days, but we have to go to the nearby islands to resupply. We don't have much food left. Fortunately, Brother Kaido has been sleeping, otherwise it would not be enough. It would be best if we could get another ship."
