Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 52

The news of the Lunarians being wanted was all over the islands, and Asier had seen similar news, but he wasn’t interested in talking about it. Rather, he was happier with the words.

Both the Pure Gold and the Lunarians would avoid the World Government, and then they would all be ants on the same string.

But Queen was happy because, after a few months, Kaido had finally recruited his first group of men, filling most of the ranks of the Beasts and Thieves.

However, these men were not really subordinates to Kaido; they were expendable, and he was not going for the elite route, and numbers were part of his requirements.

It is not uncommon for pirates to join the ship voluntarily, as the strongest pirates are often surrounded by a group of “fans.”

After Kaido’s reward was renewed, he became a powerful pirate even in the New World, let alone in Paradise, so it was not surprising that people came to him.

They’ve also learned over the course of a few months that they’re safe most of the time, except when Kaido’s drunk.
And Cadeaux was rarely in charge of anything, it was mostly Queen and Ashes who took care of the ship’s affairs.

Queen was in charge of mundane matters, and Ashes was in charge of the general direction, but everything involving Arceus would be brought to Shaina’s attention.

Through actual actions, Shaina let them understand the status of Arceus on this ship, and the last one who spoke inappropriately was almost burned to ashes by Shaina.

But now, there is a small problem on the ship.

The captain of the ship, Kaido, the Governor of the Orcas, is missing.

No, to be more precise, the other day at a party, the man got drunk and turned into a dragon and flew off to who knows where. It’s happened before, but after two or three days he was able to fly back on his own, thanks to Queen giving him his own life card.

At first, the people on the ship panicked, but now they’ve come to accept that Kaido is a man who disappears periodically.

Usually, the frequency of the disappearances depends on the frequency of the feasts.

But this time, after more than usual, Kaido still has yet to return, and the direction of his life card’s movement is a bit off.

It wasn’t until this morning’s newspaper arrived that the people on the ship figured out what was going on.

“Lord Orc, are you there? There is a problem with Mr. Kaido. He’s been arrested again.”

Shaina was holding the newspaper that had just been delivered by the news bird.

Generally speaking, the G4 branch of the Marines found that an unknown creature had entered the base’s warehouses, and after examining it, they found that it was actually the wanted Kaido, who had been taken into custody and would be sent to the undersea prison, Imperatorium, in the near future.

“Who is the officer of the G4 branch?”

“The former Vice Admiral of G4 Branch has retired, and now Vice Admiral Hadera of the Marines Headquarters is in charge.”

The branches of the Marines’s Great Voyage are named after G-X, and near the Shambaldi Islands is the G4 branch.

Unlike the Shikai branch whose military title was three ranks lower compared to the headquarters, the headquarters’ military title was equal to the Great Voyage’s branch, so there wasn’t much of a difference.

Just like pirates can judge their strength by the reward money, the strength of the Marines can be estimated by the rank, but there will always be some exceptions, such as a certain Karp who refused to be promoted.

“Hadera’s unheard of name.”

Excluding those monsters in the Marines, Kaido will not be defeated easily. After all, the span of strength of the rank of lieutenant general is also extremely large, a name that makes no impression on him. The probability can rule out the possibility of Kaido’s defeat.

With Kaido’s behavior, Arceus felt that he had a second drink in the Marines’s warehouse, resulting in a hangover. And was arrested and may not have sobered up yet.

According to his impression of Kaido, although he couldn’t remember the exact number of times, he had been arrested quite a few times, and if nothing else, he would have come out on his own if he had waited a little longer.

However, at this time, Arceus could obviously feel that the ship had changed its forward direction.

“The course has changed?”

“Yes, specifically. You’ll know if you listen.”

Said Shaina, pointing down to the deck below.

“We’re going to get Boss Kaido out of there!”

“Oh!”

“And show those marines how good we are!”

“Oh!”

“These people are really spirited. Do they know what the concept of an admiral is?” Although the group of juniors recruited by Kaido were already considered strong in the first half of the season, going to the branch to save the people would be like striking a stone with an egg.

The fact that they were able to say such a thing was enough to show their naivety, but there would never be a shortage of such naivety in the pirate community.

“Lord Beast, should we stop them?”

“There’s no need. It’s a cooperative relationship, at least. It’s only reasonable that they want to save their captain, but there’s no way these guys will be able to save the man. Just think of it as a dive training session for Olga.”

It was simply unrealistic to expect these men to rescue Kaido; the most they could do would be to drive the ship, fire the cannons or put on a show of bravado against some ordinary soldiers.

Either they could forcefully snatch Kaido out or get Kaido out of his handcuffs and let him escape on his own, and Arceus felt that Kaido could have escaped on his own.

Although he was most likely handcuffed with seastone, if the purity of the seastone were too low for the ability user’s body, the ability user would still be able to use their abilities freely.

Most of the seafloor stone is produced from special veins in the Kazunokuni Kingdom, and there is pitifully little of it in the outside world. Before Black Charcoal Orochi sought the position of Shogun, the Kazunokuni Kingdom had always been a closed country, with very few connections to the outside world.

Although there is an outflow of seafloor stone, it is not much, and most of it is in Imperton; the branch’s seafloor stone purity may still need to be able to influence Kaido.

If the concentration were not enough, he would naturally get out when he sobered up.

But just in case, he decided to make the trip anyway.

The current cooperation was very pleasant, and he had no plans to change the partner.

Olga’s development of Zoroark’s ability is not bad, probably because of her personality. She is more familiar with the ability of illusion, and the offensive system only mastered a few skills, such as the evil wave, once the race-specific skills of the Dark Blast have yet to be mastered.

In a sense, this is a person who has lived for more than a hundred years. A little practical training is very necessary.

In the future, in order to search for the tablet, it is unavoidable to sneak in and collect intelligence, so it’s good to let her practice, or else Arceus wouldn’t have chosen Zoroark in the first place.

The ability of a Phantom Overlord is something to be used wisely.

“Lord Sacred Beast isn’t this a bit early for her, or should I go…”

“Don’t worry, and I’ll get her out of there if anything really goes wrong. Your nature isn’t suited for this kind of thing.”

A hundred beasts of the ship toward the direction of the G4 close to the location of the Chambord Islands and the G4 branch base is not that far, under full speed sailing soon to the vicinity, they have been waiting until the dark, only by Elizabeth with Olga began this time to dive into the battle.
