Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 55
“I don’t believe it.”
“Oh, no hesitation at all?” Arceus simply made Kaido freeze for a moment; although he hadn’t talked to anyone about this kind of thing before, people would still hesitate for a while, right?
“No, prophecy and destiny are the most unreal things. You can’t change the past, and you can’t do anything about the future; it all depends on the present.
When you know about the future, no matter whether you accept it or not, grasping the present is what you should do.”
However, his words did not die. After all, the power of time and space is also one of his powers, but that is the power of the heyday, and now he can not change time.
Besides, there was only a point in changing time once it was necessary. Who knew what horrible reactions would be caused if he did something in the past and waited for a few decades?
Moreover, not to mention this rule-based power, the superpower department has the bug skill of foreseeing the future, but this release method is only to foresee the trajectory of the other party’s action and lay down an attack in advance in the place where the other party will appear after a certain period of time.
There is still a difference between the real power of space and time. After the development of the color of vision to the point of being able to foretell the future, the strongest people here can also do this kind of thing.
Two people who can predict the future may have exchanged blows for only a second on the surface, but inside, they may have gone through countless layers of games like lasagna.
“Are you starting to think about life after drinking? How can someone like you believe in fate?”
“Of course, I don’t. That’s why I’m going to prove that the so-called destiny is bullshit! I was born in the Kingdom of Wokka, where prophecies are highly valued.
It was predicted that I would die in battle, so at the age of 10, I became the strongest soldier in the kingdom, and I’m still alive and well.”
Kaido plopped down next to the fence and made a big philosophical face.
“So you went to the Marines base. . to die?”
“It’s not death, don’t worry. I’m not going to die in a place like this, and even if I do, it’s going to be a grand enough exit. But you’re right, and false prophecies are not worth believing.
You’re worthy of being my partner, huh?”
As he said that, he didn’t know where he got out a wine gourd and looked like he was planning to have another round.
When a person is in a drunken state, his behavior is controlled by his subconscious. Kaido’s behavior seems to be a death wish, but in fact, he has always kept it under control, regardless of whether he went to the prison ship in the past to eat and drink or this time, he went to the G4 base to drink, it was all controlled within the scope of what he could deal with.
The distance from Marin Vento is close. If he really does not want to live, directly into the Marines Headquarters, or head into the sea, or find a demon fruit to eat is also possible.
On the one hand, to express his disdain for the prophecy, and on the other hand, it is also to train himself. The ability of the phantom Beast species to encounter sustained attacks is a good way to become stronger.
Some of the phantasmal creatures awaken in the process of being beaten.
However, when he held up the wine gourd, he realized that the wine in the gourd could not drip no matter what.
“Don’t waste time. If not for your inexplicable delay of two days, we should have already finished coating and appeared in the new world by now, and you can continue to drink your wine after defeating that mechanical island.”
Kaido’s behavior had already indirectly delayed his progress in finding the tablet, and the main ingredient of the wine was also water, so naturally, it was within his control.
“Never mind, I’ve had enough to drink anyway, I’ll just do it another time.”
He had already had enough to drink at the Marines base, so it wasn’t that bad.
“Guys! Get ready. We’re setting sail for the New World!”
“Oh!”
The dangers of the New World didn’t need to be expressed in words, but these pirates were only excited about the unknown future, and there was a hint of excitement mixed in with their words.
“I heard that you have to go through Fishman Island to get to the New World.”
“Yes, it’s full of mermaids, beautiful mermaids, if only I could…”
“Shut up. That’s the kind of thing Big Sister hates, and you want to get kicked by Big Sister!”
The rules on Kaido’s ship were obvious. Strength was the word. He could live with the fact that Arceus wouldn’t let him keep drinking, and besides him and Arceus, the strongest person on the ship at the moment was Shaina.
In addition to the fact that Ashes is the only one of her kind, Olga lives with her, and in addition to her studies and training, there are few women on the ship.
Kaido understands the importance of technology, so he treats Asher as a special cadre. Olga is nominally a trainee, but she’s also a reserve cadre.
These later recruits are not really crew members at all, and they are more like subordinate forces.
In terms of outlook on life, Queen is more carefree and indifferent to life, and Ashes has a similar attitude, though Ashes doesn’t kill on his own initiative but rather does what Arceus and Kaido tell him to do.
Shaina has more respect for life, except for her enemies, and so does Asier, so there are a lot of rules in the current Beasts of the Sea.
Among them, human traffickers, Marines, agents of the world government, and traitors are the things Shaina hates the most.
At first, these pirates didn’t listen so well and reported to Kaido that Shaina was trying to take his position as captain.
But he made two mistakes. First, he tipped off the wrong person. Though Shaina is now the ship’s leader, she listens to Arceus, and if Arceus ever plans to leave the ship, she’ll be the first to respond.
Arceus is letting Shayna join Kaido on a temporary basis so that she can use Kaido’s name to do her bidding.
Secondly, Kaido doesn’t care about this kind of thing. His solution is simple: fight, and if he wins, Shaina’s position in the cadre will be his.
Then, he became the chicken that made an example of him, and since then, the people on the ship have been a lot more obedient.
As for Queen’s opinion, he didn’t have a problem with it. As long as he wasn’t at the bottom, he was satisfied, and if he couldn’t beat the top, he’d have to bully those weaker than him.
Though he works for an illegal research organization, he was a legal citizen when he was on the outside, and it wasn’t until MADS disbanded that he went down the path of being wanted.
Though their illusions about mermaids have been put to rest, that doesn’t stop them from fantasizing about them, the most beautiful creatures in the sea.
But just as they were imagining a beautiful mermaid island, Kaido himself put their dreams to rest, and a cloud of flame swept up the huge ship as the Beastly Pirates flew high into the sky.
“Captain, aren’t we going to Mermaid Island?”
“We’re not going to Fishman Island!” “Of course, we’re going to fly directly to Fishman Island!”
