Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 83
No one answered that question. It didn’t matter if it was a soccer or a bowling ball. The result was the same: Queen sat up dazed, the color of his martial arts suit, honed from countless hammering sessions, protected his body.
The bowling attack also saved his bananas from a baptism of fire, and although he hit a couple of banana trees, the bananas on top of them were still salvageable.
Queen felt his efforts were worth it.
“What are you guys waiting for? Tie them up, harvest the bananas, and dig up the seedlings for transplanting!”
Looking around at his minions enjoying the bowling show, Queen roared his orders at them, the spherical attack not placing much of a burden on him.
The transformed body was powerful, the armor color aura protected his vitals, and he was already about the size of a ball, so it wasn’t too much of a burden.
Of course, a plantation is not handcuffed to a seafloor, but there are always more solutions than difficulties. The pirates dug a pit near the seashore, and after making sure that it was filled with seawater, they buried Perospero in it, leaving only his head on the outside.
In his powerless state, he had no ability to break free from the sand, and the wet sand had the effect of quicksand, a vast suction force that bound him.
Due to the length of his tongue, the salty taste of seawater kept feeding back to his head from the taste buds of his tongue, which made being a sweetie very painful for him.
Now Queen and Shayna are discussing what to do with Perospero, a great pirate who is not just fighting and killing but is also a human being.
All pirates of the same level will maintain the attitude that they will stay out of each other’s way until they’ve completely fallen out. At this point, Perospero is defeated, so if he is killed, it will mean that he and Big Mom will ultimately fall out and break up.
Given the unclear relationship between Kaido and Big-Mom, Queen hesitated, but he ordered his boys to move with the banana tree overnight, and now there are only a few of them left on the island.
As Shaina had said, whether Perospero was released or captured would be a problem in the end, and the extent of the issue would depend on what Kaido and Charlotte Lingling thought.
“Lord Arceus, why don’t you give us some advice?”
At a loss for words, Queen pushed the question to Arceus, and as soon as he finished asking, he was greeted with a punch from Shaina.
“Don’t give Lord Sacred Beast any trouble. If it wasn’t for you guys making the plantation in this place, would there be this much trouble!”
Despite the use of Queen’s bowling ball, she still held a strong grudge against Queen’s impromptu stalling behavior.
Shortly thereafter, the phone bug on Perospero’s body rings, and the ringtone awakens the unconscious Perospero, who has just opened his eyes to the sight of Queen being hammered.
The ringing of the phone bug also causes Queen to react with a question.
“No, he’s the one in trouble. Why are you hitting me? Why are you hitting me? You should be hitting him!”
“It’s called close accountability. The trouble he brought back on you and indirectly caused me to have trouble, too, so I’m only looking for problems with you. Your problems with him are your business.”
Due to being a disciplinarian for so long, Shaina was familiar with some of the rules that Arceus had programmed, and along with that, she had gotten a little creative herself, winding Queen up in a few words.
“Hey..! You don’t want to piss off Big Mom, do you? If you don’t, then bring me the Phone Bug!”
Perospero, buried in the ground, shouted at Queen, not as a threat, but because he was distraught that Big-Mom would be angry and that if he didn’t get back by the end of the day, she’d find out that something was wrong.
But Prospero wasn’t happy about it because when Big Mom found out he had failed, he was going to be punished severely.
The ideal scenario would be for the people in front of him to compromise and let him bring the stuff back, and as for the injured and dead pirates, Big Mother wouldn’t care about that kind of thing, and as long as he didn’t talk about it, there wouldn’t be a problem.
As the eldest son, he knew exactly what an angry Big Mother would be like, especially if she didn’t bring back the food she wanted and if she was unlucky enough to catch up with Big Mother’s pescatarianism.
Perospero almost shuddered at the thought of that situation.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go the way he expected; the phone bug was brought to him, but instead of being brought directly to him, it was placed in front of him by Shaina.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Figure out how to answer the phone yourself. I think your tongue should be able to do that.”
With that said, he was going to leave. That was the solution Queen had come up with in the midst of being unilaterally assaulted. Since this was such a hassle, just let Kaydor deal with it alone. They just needed to get on with their business.
As long as the trouble isn’t theirs, it’s not trouble.
After putting down the phone bug, Shaina and the others left the area, leaving behind a group of pirates buried under the sand.
The phone bug kept ringing, and Peros Pero finally licked down the receiver after a lot of hard work.
“Brother Peros, why aren’t you back yet? Mom’s already angry.” Hearing his siblings’ voices on the other end of the phone, Perospero breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, Big Mom’s voice made him nervous again.
“Perospero, why aren’t you back yet? Didn’t you say it would only take a few hours?”
Although the telephone bug was based on the same principle as a telephone, it had the effect of a video call, and the mimicry of the bug allowed the person on the other side to know precisely who was answering the phone on this side.
The Phone Bug, which had taken on the appearance of a big mom, made Perospero almost bite his tongue.
“No, Mom, let me explain. It was just an accident; I had a special situation.”
“No need to explain; those who fail are punished, but we’ll talk about this later. I’m coming to you now.”
A busy signal came from the other side of the phone bug, and Perospero’s face turned a shade of gray as he felt that he had lost the future of his life.
At the same time, the Queen’s face is also white. Look at the phone bug in his hand. The opposite side is Kaido.
Through the paradox transfer method, this paradox was thrown at Kaido, although it gave him some trouble. However, compared to the problem he caused after drinking, this is nothing at all.
However, the Queen was given the critical task of informing Kaido. Kaido did not say anything else but only informed Queen when he returned to help him strengthen the practice of martial arts colors, as his cadre Queen combat power was a bit behind.
As his cadre, Queen is a bit behind in his battle. He feels that going back now will undoubtedly lead to misfortune, so he asks to join Arceus Treasure Hunting Team first, intending to go back after a while, and given Kaido’s character, it’s very likely that he’ll forget about it after a round of drinks.
