Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 94
Though the little radar in his hand reacted to this slab that BIG-MOM had taken, he wanted to double-check, unlikely as it was, just in case Queen had made something terrible.
The simpler the method, the more direct it was, and checking the hardness was an excellent alternative to that complicated technique.
With Arceus and the others out searching for treasure, a vital pirate activity for pirates, Kaido orders his men to plan a new feast, and in a non-combat environment, the most significant extra expense for a pirate crew is the cost of the feast.
However, all pirate groups keep this part of the party, but it depends on the wealth of the pirate group and the customs of the pirate group, so it’s normal to have the party for several days, except for the pirates on duty, most of the pirates will choose to have a good time.
“Brother Kaido! Brother Arceus’ ship has returned! And he brought back a bunch of strange big birds.”
“Big birds?”
On the main island, Kaido received the news of Arceus’ return, but what they brought back was unexpected, and when Kaido arrived at the harbor, his eyes lit up with interest as he looked at the “big birds” spoken of by his men circling and flying in the sky.
“What are those?”
“They are Millennium Dragons; the end point of this treasure hunt is the home of their survival; we have reached some cooperation; these Millennium Dragons will live here from now on; we will protect their safety, and the adult dragons among them will serve as the partners of the Air Cavalry.”
“Air Cavalry, Air Force? Well, giggle, giggle, I’m sure it was a good decision to work with you!” After a moment’s thought, Kaido began to laugh maniacally; with these Millennium Dragons, it meant that the Hundred Beasts would be able to form an air force as well.
It was no problem to have four or five people sitting behind those adult Millennium Dragons; although there were only about a dozen adult Millennium Dragons, it would be enough as a surprise force, except for the Golden Lion, there was no pirate group that could do large scale aerial combat yet.
“By the way, I’ve found something good too.”
“I can already feel it, the breath of the tablet.”
“Cih, no fun. I forgot you could sense the scent of your own stuff.”
Initially, Kaido thought it was a surprise, but the problem was that Arceus sensed his own tablet at a certain distance, which meant that the tablet couldn’t hide from Arceus at all after it was brought back.
The result didn’t change, but it felt like something was missing. However, it wasn’t a big problem, and the Pirates went on to the familiar feast.
This time, a group of thousand-year-old dragons were added to the party, and the Beast pirates were very enthusiastic about them. Kaido had already talked about his plan to form an air cavalry, and flying is one of humanity’s dreams.
Even if you can’t fly, it would be nice to fly on something else, but there are only so many adult Millennium Dragons, and only a few elite ones can form the Air Cavalry.
When it comes to the selection of the air cavalry, it is inevitable that the compatibility with the thousand-year-old dragons will affect the choice of the air cavalry, and intelligent people have already begun to make a good relationship with these thousand-year-old dragons.
However, in order to minimize the trouble, from now on, the code name of these Millennium Dragons will become the Ancestor Big Bird, and all those who are in the know have been asked to keep their mouths shut and not to talk nonsense outside.
Shaina’s picks are all members of the “Arceus’s Cult,” and their loyalty has been tested, so this is not a big deal.
Arceus also retrieved his fifth tablet, the Thunder Tablet, and the sky above the island seemed to resound with the sound of thunder at that moment, and the power of thunder and lightning returned to Arceus’ control.
The power of thunder and lightning was regarded as a heavenly calamity, more like a natural disaster than a fire.
After that, there was the usual lottery, and only after his dart landed on top of the blue word “Jump” did the pirates below stop their uproar.
“What do you think this guy’s power is?”
“I don’t know, but that Babanouki guy is so good with his weird powers. Will this word make him jump high?”
“Then who knows, Babanuki used it for three days; how long do you suppose it will take him?”
“Two days.”
“No way, at least four days; he’s far worse than that Babanuki kid.”
One of the pirates even opened a handicap on this issue, betting on how long it would take for the lucky one to learn the skill.
In the end, it took him three days to equal Babanouki’s record.
When he came out, he started eating like Babanouki, but he didn’t seem as excited as Babanouki when the other pirates asked him to show off his abilities.
At the urging of the crowd, he walked to the edge of the sea, then took a leap to the surface, and then he jumped, yes, jumped, on the surface.
The surface of the water became as much of a force for him as the land.
The skill represented by the blue word “Jump” is “Water Splash Jump.”
Water Splash Jumping is a strange skill that has no expression other than jumping, but when a human learns Water Splash Jumping, he gets some peculiar enhancements.
His leg jumping power is increased, and he can jump much higher and farther than he used to be able to, as well as having the ability to jump on water.
Skill extraction is all about luck; there is no blackmail here, so he can’t say anything when he draws this skill; he just feels a bit confused.
Does Water Splash have a future? The answer is yes; in this water-dominated world, being able to jump on the water is definitely a significant enhancement to his flexibility, allowing him to move freely on the water.
But it’s not as intuitive as the increase brought about by the magic of weirdness, and there is still a point to it after all.
While the group brainstormed what they could use his water splash for, Queen recruited a group of locals to make dried bananas.
Tropicosaurus bananas last longer, and even though the bananas he cultivated inherited this trait, there was a limit to how long a ripe banana could last without rotting for half a month, and if picked raw and properly preserved, it could be stored for about two months.
But this is already the limit, as bananas, this time, are wildly exaggerated, but compared with the speed of consumption, it is still a lot worse now. Queen is ripe bananas into freeze-dried bananas to preserve.
The fifth tablet was traded for the bananas he cultivated after all, and for the large amount of stock he paid, Arceus gave him some compensation.
He transformed the seeds of other fruits in the meantime, providing Queen with a batch of seeds of tree fruits, wenge, peach-peach, and mango-mango, but this batch of tree fruits was an emasculated version that only retained the flavor and not the original potency.
The full version of the Tree Fruit is no longer just a fruit but something that can be cultivated as a strategic resource.
