Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 92
Above the clouds, on an unknown empty island, some people were rounding up some Millennium Dragons. Many small boats were put into the sea from two big ships, and the people on them were carrying specially made harpoons to charge at the Millennium Dragons.
There are individual differences between the races, and the Millennium Dragons are no different. The Millennium Dragons living in the East China Sea are the least likely to encounter danger, and the prey they hunt is weaker, which results in their overall strength being lower.
But this is the New World, and the dangerous climate makes the creatures here have to evolve stronger so that they can adapt to the changing weather of the New World; the climate here affects not only the Green Sea but the White Sea in the sky is also the same.
Even if these thousand-year-old dragons live in the sky, their strength is much more muscular than that of their counterparts living in the East China Sea.
Although there is no unique ability, whether it is speed, strength, or physical strength, their compatriots living in the East China Sea are much more substantial.
This made the hunt more difficult for these people.
Initially, their goal was to capture these thousand-year-old dragons alive. A live one is certainly more valuable than a dead one, but the thousand-year-old dragons will not be captured, even if it is a goose in front of the house that can still chase people everywhere, let alone these creatures with dragons in their names.
The thousand-year-old dragons are usually scattered in small tribes in various seas, and only once every thousand years, when Dragon Island surfaces, the thousand-year-old dragons from all over the world gather together.
There are few of them here, only a dozen or so scattered around, and a few of them are young.
With their wings, they have the advantage of flying, so they should be able to escape from here, but the reality is very complicated; the organ trafficking and assassination syndicate captured a few of the Millennium Dragons, thus provoking the Millennium Dragons and making them choose to fight instead of running away.
In addition, the dragons have a strong sense of territory, and in the face of these invaders, they did not choose to flee but fought for their homeland.
The corpses of the Millennium Dragons and the broken ships that fell into the Qinghai Sea were proof of the battle.
“These guys are foolish; if they just run away, they will lose less, right?”
“After all, it’s just a beast; even if it’s called a thousand-year-old dragon, it’s still a rare beast, and isn’t that good?”
“Of course, it’s good, but in that case, a lot of preparation would be wasted.”
“Don’t worry about that; quickly send people down to retrieve the corpses; the sea cloud here is too thin; those corpses actually fell straight back down.”
The dead people are nothing to him; the most essential thing in the new world is the workforce, but if the corpse of the thousand-year-old dragon is lost, it will be a significant loss.
“I sent them out a long time ago, don’t worry.”
At this moment, a thousand-year-old dragon suddenly rushed out from under the sea cloud and overturned a small boat they had sent out.
The Millennium Dragons here feed on air fish, and they have the ability to move for short periods of time in the sea clouds. The long hairs on their bodies do not get soaked when they enter the sea clouds, but instead, they are tightly connected, forming a special membrane that traps the water and reduces the resistance at the same time.
Looking at the thousand-year-old dragon rushed out, the eyes of the people on board are all symbols of wealth; after speculation, a piece of dragon bone can be sold at a sky-high price.
If you take it and it doesn’t work, you must be using it in the wrong way, and it’s definitely not a problem with the dragon bone.
Dragon bone can be sold at a sky-high price, not to mention dragon blood and meat; this group is best at selling organs, and a thousand-year-old dragon is a treasure trove for them.
“You guys, go and catch it! There are actually other thousand-year-old dragons out to die!”
Several small boats leaned over, but before they could take action, a sea current broke through the sea clouds and rushed up, and together with them was another boat, just the salvage boat they had sent out earlier.
The way they went down was extraordinary. They first released the prepared coating on the ship to dive and opened the giant parachute after the boat broke through the sea cloud so as to realise a safe landing, but just when they were halfway down, they encountered Arceus, who was controlling the surging sea current.
“My little ones! Let these guys know how powerful we are!”
There was no need to explain the situation; it was obvious that they were on the same side as the Millennium Dragons, and since the enemy was clear, there was no need for a reason to start the war.
Arceus was right behind them, and Babanouki’s experience was still fresh in their minds. Initially, they were all ordinary members of the same group, but because of a strange power technique, Babanouki had been promoted to a minor cadre.
Who wouldn’t want higher status and more power? It’s not like you’re going to get a bad one in the lottery, but if you make Arceus happy, you might get more power.
Although their goal is to find the treasure, they should bring the sword, gun, and cannon, but no one is missing. After the order to start the war, they show the absolute suppression of firepower.
Although there was only one ship, the range of their guns was nearly one-third farther than that of the other side.
On the sea, gunfighting was always an indispensable part of the battle, both for the Marines and the pirates, and there were only a few people who could do more damage than the cannons could do with human power.
And for most people, the deterrent power of cannons is more vital than that of the workforce.
Since the last battle with Wald, where there was a shortage of cannon shells, and they could only force a gangway battle, some of the members of the Hundred Beasts seemed to be suffering from a phobia of insufficient firepower, and every time they sailed, they loaded their magazines to the brim.
“Damn it, what kind of place did these pirates come from?!”
The sudden shelling had left the organ trafficking assassins in a daze. Although they had many enemies, they had been very stealthy this time and had spent a lot of time trying to find the ladder to reach this empty island.
How could they be attacked here for no reason?
And it gets worse because the main goal was to hunt the Millennium Dragon and to capture it alive; they were carrying harpoons, nets, and potent anaesthetics, and only half the usual amount of shells, which had been consumed on the way.
Although they were not the same opponents, it was a reversal of fortune for the members of the Beast.
They had prepared a lot of countermeasures, but all of them were ready for the Millennium Dragon, and the sudden arrival of the Beast disrupted all of their preparations.
The sudden arrival of the Hundred Beasts Pirates had disrupted all of their preparations. Moreover, their personnel were extremely scattered, and they were unable to form an effective counter-attack for a short period of time.
The trouble didn’t stop there. The Millennium Dragon that was saved by Arceus earlier roared, and its roar reached the ears of the other Millennium Dragons in the gap between the shell explosions.
The meaning is straightforward: they are our own people; they are here to help us.
