Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 34
When Prior was arrested and released as an undercover agent, Spandauin naturally couldn’t have any backup, so he created a life card before he left.
It wouldn’t have mattered if it was anyone else; they would have made a life card to match.
However, Prithee was a Juggling Fruit power user. He had all sorts of human hair and other objects on his body to make puppets, and what Spandauin had gotten was not Prithee’s material at all but someone else’s material.
Of course, the life card made from someone else’s material was not Prielt’s, which was why the life card in Spandauin’s hand had not changed at all, even though Prielt was already dead.
The agent he called Follett had already entered the Great Voyage according to the fluctuation of the life card. Still, by mistake, he had found the right place because the person that Prielt had used to make the life card material had joined the actual John’s Grand Fleet by mistake.
So Follett failed to find Prior but found John by mistake, making him realize a judgment.
Prior had indeed betrayed his agreement with Spandauin and had joined the John Pirates.
“Sir Spandain, I’m in the first half of the Great Voyage, in the Kingdom of Natho, and I didn’t find Priority, but the Life Card is reacting very strongly, so he should be nearby, and at the same time, I found John here.”
“That guy’s fruit ability can disguise others. Normally, you can’t see him, but are you sure it was John?”
“I’m sure. I’m traveling with another pirate, one of the members of the Rocks’ ship, whose identity has been confirmed as “Silver Axe.”
Inside an inn in the Netho Kingdom, Follett carefully reported his discovery that two of Rox’s remnants had converged, which was not good news for him.
According to his investigation, they had been staying in the Netho Kingdom for a long time. If Prior’s previous information was accurate, then the Lox treasure might be connected to this place.
The size of the countries on the Great Voyage varies, the unique geography has formed the culture of the island countries, the smaller countries can travel all over the territory in one day, and there is no lack of large countries with a wide range of land and population.
The Kingdom of Netho is one of the great nations of the Great Voyage, with a total area of about half that of Alabaster and a mild, spring-like climate all year round.
At the same time, it is also one of the member countries of the World Government, and Follett has to take care of the place when he works here.
“Sir Spandauin, should we call for help from the nearby branch?”
“Idiot, if the Marines find out, we’ll be exposed!”
“But the threat of these people… The Netho Kingdom is a government member, so it’s not like they will be able to explain what happened.”
“They have not done nothing yet. Continue to observe. I will apply for a workforce to help you. With this treasure, my future in the world government will not be a problem, and there will be no shortage of your favor.”
“Yes, I understand.”
As a CP agent, being on the front line every day was quite dangerous. His idea was to become the chief of the office and just give orders.
Locus’ treasure brought enough merit to do such a thing, and according to his research, John had been waiting all this time, not at all like a pirate.
Although the Netho Kingdom is a member of the World Government, the World Government needs to pay more attention to its affairs and may not help if there are difficulties. Still, when this country fails to pay the heavenly gold, it will be expelled from the status of a member country.
When that happens, the country will be entirely abandoned by the Marines. It will become an extralegal territory, so all the member states will try to maintain this status as much as possible.
The status of a member state may not necessarily make its citizens safe, but a non-member state is more dangerous.
The world government only wants gold but doesn’t care how it is obtained. The Kingdom of Wokka, where Kaido was born, received the gold through foreign wars.
The Netho Kingdom is similar. Their country’s fleet even has the status of legal pirates. That’s why the Netho Kingdom doesn’t prohibit pirates from entering the country. The government is called the Gray Kingdom, and many pirates will sell their loot here.
To protect their interests, there are even scams in the pirate world.
Follett disguised himself as an ordinary smuggler and stayed there while Arceus and the others began to approach the place gradually, following the guidance of the Life Card.
John’s previous position had been changing all the time, and Arceus and the others had to change their direction from time to time and the voyage lasted more than three months after their departure.
The windless zones were no obstacle for them; the power packs Queen had made and the outer wheels allowed them to travel at high speeds in the windless zones, and the Neptunes posed no threat to them, which saved them a considerable amount of time.
They were still using the same patrol ship, and Acier and Queen were having a good time, a pleasant exchange between two sweeties.
Asier had an unusual fondness for fruits and vegetables due to his 100+ years of eating only meat, which was his initial contact with the Queen.
And his talent in material science and chemistry is the world’s top. That is, Queen can not compare with him, the two top scientists in this amicable exchange. The most important thing is that Asier does not compete—every day, Queen and the business of mutual boasting to satisfy his vanity.
Of course, there is a more crucial reason; finally, there is someone with him on the ship to do odd jobs.
Compared to Asier, Olga’s life could be happier. More than a hundred years have passed, and she hasn’t studied for more than a hundred years. As a scientist, Asier is very clear about the importance of learning, so he gives her extra lessons.
As a scientist, Asier is aware of the importance of learning, so he gives her extra lessons. Kaido also really wants Olga to be the ship’s trainee, which he is more serious and responsible for than Roxas, who is entirely free-range, while he focuses on teaching and keeps an eye on Olga every day to carry out physical training.
Ashes and Shaina are practicing on their own. Their hegemony has already been introduced. All that’s left to do is to hone it and then learn a higher level of hegemony after they’ve mastered their current one.
According to the response of the life cards, they were getting closer to their goal, and Arceus, who had thoroughly absorbed the evil system tablet, called Shaina out.
“What is it, Lord Sacred Beast?”
“Can you dance?” Shaina didn’t quite understand why Arceus would ask such a question, but she answered anyway.
“A little. It’s a ritual dance that the Lunaria used to do, and I can learn it if you want to see another dance.”
“No, I’m just going to teach you a special dance, the Dance of Battle – Sword Dance.”
