Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 19
Although the Phone Bug had hung up, the expression of the Phone Bug hadn’t been wholly duplicated, as could be seen from the eyes of the Phone Bug that had just closed. Its expression was exactly the same as that of John in the chair.
In terms of attire, the shell of this phone bug has mask-like patterned props, which are the owner’s personalised accessories for the phone bug, to show the difference between the phone bug.
Phone bugs are generally similar to their owners in appearance, while their facial expressions during calls mimic those of the person on the other end of the line.
The Phone Bug on the desktop and Captain John’s attire at the moment were somewhat different but similar at the same time.
He picked up a bottle of wine from a side table, uncorked it, and drank directly from the bottle, an expression of enjoyment on his face.
“The base commander’s collection, these days of the Marines are really nourishing.”
As he said that, he walked over to the window and looked through it at the schoolyard that used to belong to the Marines, but there was no longer any Marines training there. Instead, there were a bunch of pirates in a mess.
Fighting, brawling, gambling, and doing all sorts of things without any rules, they were divided into different groups of pirates, and it looked like a large-scale fight would break out at any time.
“Captain John, another pirate group has come to join us, and now we have more than seventy ships and more than six thousand pirates, and John’s large ship group has almost been assembled! There are seven men with over ten million dollars in bounty. When are we going to look for the rumoured treasure?”
John’s expression did not change. Neither the 70 ships nor the 6,000 pirates nor the pirates with over 10 million bounties could arouse his interest.
The firepower of the pirate ships had a natural difference compared to the Marines’s warships, and many of the 70 ships were small boats that could only carry a few dozen people, which was a far cry from the warships that were already in this base.
Now, their main firepower also relies on the two warships they have captured, as well as the firepower stored on the island of Kakira.
All the supplies that the Marines hadn’t released a while ago had fallen into the hands of the pirates.
“Don’t be in a hurry. And this is the biggest treasure in the world, enough for everyone to share, and more people can grasp it faster.”
“But Captain John, there are more and more people. The supplies in the base are only enough for three days.”
“Then go and loot. Do I need to teach you?”
“We’ve already looted everything. Kakira Island is not a commercial island; there’s nothing on it, and we’re getting more and more people.”
The 277th branch of the Marines stationed only a thousand people, only the headquarters of a large warship and then some more troops, but after all, this is the Four Seas, a branch with a thousand people stationed is already considered a lot.
Initially, there were enough supplies stored here for two months, but with the influx of pirates and their wastefulness, the food was being consumed at a high rate.
Moreover, the changes here had cut off all merchant ships, and fresh fruits and vegetables had not been seen for a long time, which was one of the reasons why the pirates often broke out into brawls to vent their emotions.
“Captain John, why don’t you go and calm them down? I don’t know what to do if I don’t see the newcomers.”
The pirates who had gathered here temporarily had little cohesion and had come here because of John’s reputation. After arriving here, they waited for a long time, which made the patience of many of them wear down.
Whenever this happens, John needs to go out and calm them down.
“It’s really troublesome, like this. You first go and tell them that we will depart in seven days, and those who don’t want to wait can leave, and I will go out right away.”
At this time, the original belongs to the Marines schoolyard, a weapon fight is taking place, no one knows what the cause is, and the surrounding people are in the coaxing, wanting to see them fight out a life and death.
“Captain, shall we wait any longer? Captain John has been waiting here for too long. What is he waiting for? What’s he waiting for? For the Marines to come around?”
Not everyone is a fool. Capturing the naval base will inevitably lead to a siege by the Marines. They initially thought that John would take the opportunity to recruit some troops and then swarm into the Great Sea Route, but they didn’t realise that he had been delayed here all this time.
“He has been delayed for so long; it’s a pity to leave now, and he is also a pirate. It’s impossible to make a deal with the Marines. You all saw that day he cut off the colonel’s head. There is no possibility of reconciliation.”
And in a corner with no one around, an inconspicuous pirate picked up a phone bug and made a call.
“John still hasn’t made a move, seems to be waiting for something, still can’t be sure if the treasure he is talking about is Locus’ treasure.”
After saying this, he didn’t wait for the other side’s response. He directly put away the phone bug and left the place. He was a spy from CP7 because the area of activity was the closest to this place. He was directly sent there by the CP’s officer.
After the destruction of the Rocks pirate group, the world government did not find the Rocks’ treasure. That massive amount of wealth has also moved the world government. Naturally, they will send people to pay attention to the situation here.
If John moves ahead, he is responsible for sending information to the higher-ups, and if John tries to leave alone, he also has to send out information so that the government can make new countermeasures.
At this point, John also left his room, took the Marines’s amplification device, and began to paint a picture of the pirates below him. His words resonated well, and every time he spoke a phrase, a cheer would appear from the group of pirates.
The sun was beating down on the schoolyard, but the pirates’ excitement wasn’t dampened by the heat.
Treasure is a massive attraction for them, and that’s why most pirates go to sea.
Then, a gust of wind blew, and the cloud created a shadow over the schoolyard, which made many of the pirates feel better, but they didn’t notice that the cloud was a bit lower.
But they didn’t notice that the cloud was a little lower, and the shape of the cloud wasn’t quite right. Arceus and his party had also arrived at the island of Kakira and were watching the situation below from the flaming cloud of Kaido.
They also saw John, who stood in the centre of the speech.
“This guy’s voice and tone are the same as John’s, but the words he’s saying are completely different from what John would say, so he’s really a strange guy.”
In the sky, Kaido was also listening to John’s speech and made his own evaluation.
Although they were still high in the air, and regular sound could not be heard from this distance, his hearing and sight, which had been strengthened by his seeing colour, allowed him to hear what John said, and John’s words from earlier fell into his ears word for word.
Compared to Martial Color Hegemony, the abilities of the Umbreon Color Hegemony are even more diverse. Depending on the user, their Umbreon Color has different abilities, and there are some special people who have unique Umbreon Colors that are inherent to them.
