Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 29
Chapter 29: Maiden, You’re Brave
On the unknown island, Kaido drank the little alcohol left on the patrol ship. He was happy that Arceus had found the tablet, and when he was pleased, he liked to drink, and when he drank, he was prone to breaks.
But to be honest, whether or not Kaido gets drunk depends not on the amount of alcohol but on whether or not he wants to get drunk.
If he doesn’t want to get drunk, it’s very difficult to completely paralyze his nerves with alcohol. If he wants to get drunk, then a little bit of alcohol is enough.
Now is the time when Kaido wants to experience the feeling of drunkenness, and the creatures living on the island are out of luck. The island environment creates a closed-loop biotic chain, but the food that used to be at the top of the food chain has also been reduced to food at this time.
Grilling is the most primitive form of human cooking. With the right heat and seasoning, nothing tastes too bad.
The common sense of wild lodging has nothing to do with them except to be careful not to accidentally burn down the whole island. The danger has nothing to do with them.
The night was quiet, with only the occasional sound of burning firewood, and at this time, a figure on the surface of the sea was rapidly approaching the island.
It was not swimming or flying, but running on its legs, a green body, more than a man’s height, overall like a snake and lizard combined to produce a creature.
It has a long neck and moves upright, making it somewhat similar to a dinosaur, with wide webbed feet and a long tail behind it to keep it balanced, which is how it is able to run so fast on the surface of the sea.
It was a strange creature called a serpent lizard, and one that should have been extinct a long time ago, but it had a simple saddle on its back and a little girl sitting on top of it.
Long blonde hair, purple dress, and a simple red headband.
The Neptune occasionally swallowed a lot of things, and that was the source of her supplies.
“Elizabeth, go towards the bright light. I smell food. It’s the smell of meat. I haven’t eaten meat in I don’t know how long!”
The corners of his mouth were already drooling as he spoke, and the lizard known as Elizabeth did the same.
This kind of lizard has a mild character, is easy to tame, has a long life, and is omnivorous, but its own fighting power is weak. Most of the weekdays are vegetarian or capture some small animals.
But it previously lived in a place that can not be found in a small bird things because it previously lived in the stomach of the giant monkfish.
It’s no joke that mega-neptunes devour islands. The giant monkfish has three stomachs, each containing an island, and this girl is a survivor of one of those islands.
The previous attack by Arceus and Kaido had pierced the stomach of the anaconda and spat out a lot of stuff, and she and the lizard had taken the opportunity to escape from it.
Since Elizabeth can run on water and is very durable, they managed to get out of the windless zone, and the serpent lizard ran on the surface of the sea with so little movement that the Neptunes living below didn’t even notice.
Or maybe those who woke up had gone to attack the badly injured monkfish.
After running on the surface for a long time, the lizard and the man accidentally ran near the island where Kaido and the others stayed for a while and were attracted by the firelight and the faint smell of meat.
At the edge of the island, the girl and the lizard think no one has found them, but unbeknownst to them, the Asher, who was on watch on the boat, spotted them just as they were coming up.
He was about to grab the little guy but was stopped by Shaina, who had come to take her shift.
“What are you stopping me for?” Ship’s Ashes asked in a low voice, and the girl creeping forward below didn’t even notice that the two men on the boat behind her were already staring at her.
Most people don’t sleep on a ship after it docks. No matter how well the boat is repaired, it will still sway slightly under the waves, and for those who are sailing, resting on land is rare and quiet.
For those on the high seas, it was basically common sense by default, and she was but a few years old enough not to have thought much of it.
“She seems to be after the leftover roast. Let her be. It’s not nice to be hungry.”
Only those who have experienced that feeling know how painful it is, and words cannot convey it.
The Lunarians are tenacious, but that doesn’t mean they won’t starve. They just have a stronger endurance. With their life as fugitives and their life in the lab, they’ve experienced almost every kind of suffering.
Looking at the young girl, Shaina felt some sympathy, but sympathy was sympathy. She still put away her flames, spread her wings, and flew over.
“You take over the watch. I’ll go see what she’s up to.”
She would help those she wanted to help when she could, and she wouldn’t hesitate to snap the necks of her opponents when she realized there was a problem.
Al Zeus is away right now. He is using some of the beasts on the island to experiment with the specific effects of skills, such as the Evil system’s Provoke. Some skills produce effects that are, in reality, similar to the Rule system’s abilities and are very inexplicable.
For example, provocation in the game will make the opponent angry. In three turns, the opponent can only use skills that give damage, but in reality, it is not a turn-based game. The provocation effect is also more diverse. At this time, he lets some wild beasts begin infighting.
“When I find a Grass-attribute turquoise tablet, I should try Grass Knotting. I’d like to know what effect it would have if I were Oz’s size.
The higher the weight, the more damage you can do with Grass Knot, but the principle of this skill is to trip the opponent, so the giants won’t be able to knock themselves out with a single fall, I guess.
Practice is the only standard for testing the truth. Without specific practice, he is not sure of the particular effect, like provocation. This skill can play far more effectively than expected.
On the other hand, the little girl and Elizabeth touched the rest of the barbecue meat nearby and ate their stomachs round. This world’s people’s stomach capacity is obviously more than ordinary people’s, and the big heart of the same number of people.
Kaido, for example, was huffing and puffing, one with a big heart continuing to sleep and one with a big heart daring to continue eating.
“You’re full, right?”
“Who’s full?” In the face of this sudden question, the little girl hesitated for three seconds and then suddenly felt something wrong, and Queen, who had gone out to look for a late-night snack, also happened to arrive here.
He had been remodeling the ship in order to get the power plant up and running as soon as possible, and now that his work was done, he wanted to find something to eat.
Shaina had intended for her to eat and leave, but her presence plus the sudden appearance of Queen seemed to scare her, so she did an unimaginable act.
She abducts Kaido, who is still sleeping.
