Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 86
Kaido’s appearance temporarily saved Perospero, resulting in Big-Mom not going to look for him; if Perospero encountered Big-Mom, who was on the verge of anger, then what the result would be would not be sure.
Also worried about the attitude of his captain is Queen, but compared to Perospero’s apprehension, Queen’s mood is more relaxed. The big deal is to be beaten for a few days, not just beaten. He has long been accustomed to it, but this is always a bit sad to say out loud.
The treasure map was in Olga’s hands, and she was directing the ship’s navigator and helmsman to correct the course.
There were few talented navigators, but there were still many people who knew a little bit about navigation. The reason why Olga was directing the course was because the words on the map were unintelligible to other people,
Alkaimi Island disappeared more than a hundred years ago, and the writing used on the island is very different from that of modern times. And it is also ancient writing.
Although the regional culture of the Pirate World has a unified language, each island has its own dialect and local script.
The pattern on the treasure map belongs to a kind of ancient writing; although it is different from the writing of Alkemi, it is also a kind of hieroglyphic writing.
Olga, with her knowledge of the Alkaimi script, was able to translate the text by guessing, and there were several other ways to write the word “fennel,” and similar situations were not unheard of in ancient scripts.
If you can recognize half of it, you can roughly guess the pronunciation and meaning of the character and combine it with the context of the preceding and following words. Although there will be differences, the general direction will not be wrong.
The merchants had given it away as a gift because they didn’t know anything about it, and everything that belonged to antiquity was something that the world government didn’t want to be passed on to the rest of the world.
Even the islands of Alkaimi have disappeared, and there is more than one island like it. Many of those writings have been lost and can only be deciphered by a few places that specialize in history.
However, whether or not you can translate these words doesn’t affect the charts. Through the comparison of the position of the islands and the sea currents, you can always find the route, but if you know how to read the words, it’s more convenient and less laborious.
“Why does this look like a lie to me?”
Queen held the map with a skeptical look. His reason for getting on the ship was that he was a treasure-hunting expert. How did he prove that he was an expert by picking a problem? If he couldn’t choose a single thing, then what kind of expert was he?
“Che, uncle, you can’t even read these words. How do you know it’s fake? Anyway, we’re just taking our chances, so why don’t we go check it out?”
“Kid, you are still too young to know the dangers of this world.”
Of all the cadres, Asier was the only one who wouldn’t get into trouble with the Queen. The two were similar in many ways, such as narcissism and blind self-confidence. Of course, Asier couldn’t beat Queen. His fighting strength was about equal to that of a common soldier.
That’s not quite right. I should say he is less than the average private; he hasn’t lost any weight yet, and his size doesn’t give him much of an advantage in battle.
With his status as a trainee, Olga was able to make a good living in the Hundred Beasts.
“But what exactly is written here?”
“I don’t understand it either, but it is the Great Secret Treasure of Eternal Life, so that’s what it means.
“The Great Secret Treasure of Eternal Life? That sounds more like a lie.”
The sea from time to time, there will be this kind of rumor, such as what the golden apple is, and soon, those are rumors. Asier’s pure gold is considered to be one of the ways to realize this road, but pure gold also has no limit, and no one knows.
The surgical fruit of immortality surgery is currently known as the most reliable way, but the specific situation is only known to those who have the ability or those who have experienced immortality surgery.
Many treasure maps have a strong gimmick, such as buying the world’s treasure, the secret of eternal life, something Queen has seen before.
But he is just talking. He does not want to go back now to Caddo’s special training.
The pirate ship flying the flag of the Beast sails on the sea, and in the waters of the New World, the pirate flag is the best pass, and if the pirate group is strong enough, as long as they don’t pick fights with other pirates, or encounter any rash youngsters, basically, they can get along without any problems.
This is a tacit understanding between the pirates. If they fight every day, it will not be suitable for the territory or themselves.
Without touching the bottom line, there are many things that can be discussed, such as Kaido and Charlotte Ling Ling’s banana talk, through which everyone gets what they need, and those who only rely on fighting to solve their problems are the lowest class of pirates.
After sailing for some time, Arceus and the others have already approached the destination of this trip. At this time, the sky has been covered by clouds, but only clouds. Thereis no sign of rain.
If they were in a regular sea, the appearance of a large number of clouds would almost mean the arrival of a rainstorm, but this was a new world where all the common sense of navigation would be broken.
Olga was on the phone to ask for help from Asier because there were a few words she couldn’t guess what they meant. She was only eight years old before Alkaimi disappeared, and Alkaimi hadn’t learned all the words, so she didn’t recognize some of the more complicated ones.
After Alkaimi disappeared, Asier didn’t continue to teach her those things but learned new words with her.
With Asier’s off-site assistance, she finally figured out the meaning of the last paragraph.
“Midnight’s feathers break through the clouds, and the moonlight guides the final direction. That should be what it means.”
“Midnight? Moonlight? Do we have to wait here until midnight?”
“This treasure map has a break in it. Although it has the location of the last island marked, it only directs one to the nearby sea, and that’s all it says after that.”
“Then let’s wait. We’ve come all the way here. It’s not that bad for a night’s work.”
Anchoring and stopping the ship, the men of the Beast waited for the hour of midnight when the heavy clouds blocked the moonlight, but when midnight came, the sky cracked open, and the moonlight spread along a straight line into the distance.
Vaguely, you could see that something had flown through the clouds, and it was they who had caused such a gap in the clouds.
“No matter how many times I’ve seen it, nature is extraordinary.” Olga sighed at the strange sight.
However, Queen’s focus was different from Olga’s. He always felt that there was something strange about those clouds. They didn’t seem like typical clouds.
At this time, a sad sound came out from the sky, and then a black shadow fell on the ship of the hundred beasts.
