Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 87
The dark figure fell directly onto the deck, startling the pirates nearby, but they quickly calmed down. The presence of two cadres on board, a reserve cadre and her partner, and Arceus, gave them a great deal of inner confidence.
A couple of pirates braved it, and before they could be rebuked, there was a growl of a beast, and a pair of red pupils in the darkness gave them a dangerous look.
With the ship’s searchlights shining here, a strange creature appeared on the deck. The back is green, the belly is white, and the overall structure is similar to that of the western dragon, but all body long hair, front claws, and wings are combined in one, and the hind limbs are huge bird claws.
The long and thick tail was spread horizontally on the deck, and the length of the body was roughly estimated to be eight or nine meters, but now it looked fragile. A vast black arrow pierced through its wings, and there was something similar on its body, which was what caused it to fall down.
Moreover, there was an iron lock behind the black arrow, and the end of the lock was connected with a heavy object, which looked like it was specially made by someone who wanted to capture it.
“This thing is… A thousand-year-old dragon?!”
Queen’s biological knowledge allowed him to recognise the species of this thing quickly, a unique creature known as the Millennium Dragon, but while it was called the Millennium Dragon, their appearance was more similar to a combination of an Ancestor Bird and a Dinosaur.
The reason they were called Millennium Dragons was because they had lived long enough.
“Brother Queen, what is a Millennium Dragon?”
“It’s a legendary creature. It’s rumoured that the bones of this thing can make people live forever, but it’s not true.” Why did he know that, of course, was because MADS had researched such rumours in the beginning.
The research on the Bloodline Factor involved all sorts of strange creatures, and although the Millennium Dragon was rare, as long as it existed in this world, the World Government could always find some clues.
The ideal graveyard and birthplace of the Millennium Dragon is the Dragon Island, hidden in the deep waters of the East China Sea, which only surfaces once every thousand years, but not all of them can die here.
There are also thousand-year-old dragons who died or were born outside, and through simple research and experimentation, we can naturally conclude that it is just fake news.
Moreover, if this is true, then it is expected that there will not be a single Millennium Dragon in the outside world, and the people of the World Government will not let this kind of creature live in the outside world.
They will hunt down this race to collect the bones of the dragons and keep a small number of them for themselves, no matter how much labour and material resources they have to spend.
The so-called secret of immortality is just a rumour, and if the bones of the Millennium Dragon can really be used to make a potion for immortality, then it would make no sense that the Dragon itself would age and die.
However, the fact proves that there are still people who believe in this legend otherwise, they would not have hunted down the Millennium Dragon.
As for how he came to this conclusion, the scars on the dragon’s body spoke for themselves; only humans or subhumans would use such a thing.
Queen was doing a bit of science to the people around him and kind of showing off his knowledge, but when he got to some of the experiments, the injured Millennium Dragon growled at him, which caused more blood to gush out of its already damaged body.
“What is this guy doing? Does he want to die?”
“It’s saying, you asshole, how dare you hurt one of its own kind. Go over there, and it’ll bite you to death… well, that’s what it’s saying.”
Queen’s ears rang with Elizabethan’s broken voic.,Ass long as helearneds for a while longer, Elizabethanwouldl almost be able to communicate as freely as a human.
Adult Millennium Dragons can understand human speech, but they can’t speak human language, and humans can’t understand their roars.
However, as we all know, all human beings in the Pirate World speak the same language as land creatures other than sub-humans, which can be seen from Chopper’s translation function, which can be understood by camels, birds, and even extraordinary creatures such as kung-fu manatees.
Chopper understands all the sea creatures in the Seven Waters, but he needs help understanding the fish, which probably don’t speak the same language as the rest of the animals.
As for the Sea Kings, only the Sea Emperor of each generation and the Witness Color, who can listen to everything, can understand their words.
This thousand-year-old dragon’s language and Elizabeth’s language are compatible, so Elizabeth acts as a translator.
Otherwise, only Arceus would be able to understand it on the ship.
“It misinterpreted. I mean, I’ve studied the material others have sent me. It’s the first living Millennium Dragon I’ve seen.”
Queen wasn’t explaining to the Millennium Dragon, but to Shaina, who hated those so-called experiments by the World Government, not just the ones that were happening to her at the time as well as to Abel, but even the ones on the other races as well.
She wouldn’t go near Queen’s lab, and Queen wouldn’t mention it in front of her, but this time, he got a little carried away and broke their understanding.
Shayna’s been spending every night with Arceus, and she seems to have gained a lot of power. she’s also got an idea for a Queen bowling ball, which Queen has to be on guard against.
“The Great Mystery of Eternal Life… It looks like Olga didn’t translate it wrong. that treasure map is heading towards the island where this thousand-year-old dragon lives.
Queen began to change the subject, only the means of this diversion was very stiff, and the effect was not noticeable. Just as he was getting a headache, someone helped him out, and a cannonball bombarded directly around the hull of the ship.
The waves that were stirred up scattered around Arceus, the splash soaked the deck next to Arceus, and Queen’s eyes practically glowed at the sight of it.
“Lord Al’Zeus! I can’t believe someone dared to disturb your innocence. It’s unforgivable! I’ll go get them right now!”
Queen directly transformed into a Tropical Dragon and dashed into the air in the general direction, leaving the pirates on the ship to look at each other in disbelief.
“How dare this asshole act a little more ostentatiously?”
“Shaina, why don’t you go with him too, ? Ion’t think he’s too reliable.”
“Yes, Lord Sacred Beast, I’ll take care of those who fired the guns.” Saying that, he waved his wings to catch up with Queen, who flew out earlier, while Arceus walked over to that Millennium Dragon.
Since this thing had been alive for a long time, they might know something about the past.
If the tablet could be in the stomach of Neptune, it could be in the nest of a thousand-year-old dragon.
The struggle just now was the last of the Millennium Dragon’s stamina, and by now, it was already lying on the deck in a fragile state.
