Arceus’ Pirate Journey
Page 569
If you want to uproot it, it will inevitably involve pulling out countless soils, and the remaining holes cannot be filled in a short time.
Even if you want to cut down such a big tree, you have to think carefully again and again to mitigate the damage caused by the tree falling.
Not to mention that this tree is not that easy to cut down, and it might break a few saws.
"The trade of seastone is also a problem. Only the beasts that occupy Wano Country can provide a large amount of seastone stably. The number of pirates on the sea has been increasing rapidly in recent years.
Sakaski worked hard, but with so many prisoners, the demand for seastone handcuffs was increasing."
Vochuli stroked his mustache and added that he was in charge of legal affairs and also handled prison issues, so he was very familiar with the situation of sea tower stone products.
"In fact, there is another problem... The revolutionary army has been on the move for some time. Our food transportation channels have been damaged a lot, and our food production areas have also been harassed.
If this relationship is really severed, Mary Geoise will soon face a food crisis.”
Bad news usually comes in clusters. As the largest continent in the world, Mary Geoise on the Red Earth Continent does not have its own grain production area, but relies on external transportation.
The revolutionary army has seized this opportunity and is attacking their grain transportation channels. If they choose to completely break with Hundred Beasts Fruit at this time, the reduction in shipping and the lack of supplies, coupled with the more deadly force from the Hundred Beasts, may cause chaos in Marijoa.
"After all, cleaning them out is not something that can be done overnight, and we can't rush it. We should take our time. At least during the time when the World Government is convened, we have to maintain the final stability.
Finally, whether it is cleaning or whatever, leave it to Lord Yinmu."
For the time being, maintain the status quo as before, but adjust the forces to deal with new situations. This is the solution temporarily discussed by the Five Elders.
"That Doflamingo guy... was taken away by the Beasts. I'm afraid he will reveal the secret."
"We cannot deal with him for now. It is too dangerous in Wano Country. This action is not realistic before we are fully prepared. Be patient for a while. Lord Yinmu's time will soon be up.
Now Doflamingo, whether or not the Beasts help him reshape that position, there will be a vacancy in the underground world. Contact Stussy and let her try to see if she can gain some benefits from this change. "
After several discussions, they came up with a plan for the future, but then a new problem arose.
Satan took the Den Den Mushi and changed the projected image to Raishiram and Zekrom.
“This is the last captured image before the Our Lady of Flame was destroyed. Combined with the information sent back by CP0, this is the creature that destroyed the Our Lady of Flame.
At the same time, after repeated confirmation based on the information from Dressrosa, these two creatures emerged from the body of the demon princess."
"Quinn?"
Looking at the slightly ferocious faces of Zekrom and Rashiram, Vouchuri said Quinn's name with some hesitation.
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s Quinn or not. If it is, it means this capability can be mass-produced. Now there are two, and in the future it may be twenty.
If not, it means they have a far more terrible power that we are completely unaware of.”
Satan's understanding of technology is better than the other Five Elders. York's collapse of his worldview does not seem to be fake. Now York is still calculating data non-stop.
This time they did not blindly blame Quinn, but took all the circumstances into account. In short, Quinn might be innocent, but he might also be guilty. According to the principle of false accusation, they should be dealt with together.
"Those two dragons are still fighting above Dressrosa. For some reason, they did not leave after destroying the Holy Mother Flame."
"Isn't CP0 still nearby? Let them go and take a look. As long as they can pass the news back, their life or death is not important."
"Indeed, it is more meaningful to understand the specific situation of the two dragons. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises."
After just a few words from the upper level, CP0 received a suicidal mission.
Marijoa seemed very busy today. Just as the Five Elders had given the order for the task, Akainu called.
"Why? Why would you suddenly use this kind of attack to disrupt the Navy's battle plan? The pirates in Dressrosa are fighting, and there is a chance to arrest them!"
"Sakaski, watch your attitude. We don't need to explain to you what we do."
"You just need to follow the orders of the World Government. Instead of questioning us, think about what kind of impact it will have when Kuzan appears in front of everyone as a member of the Beasts."
Having said that, he hung up the phone unilaterally, leaving Akainu no chance to refute.
The news about Kuzan was also the information previously sent back by CP0. Unlike before, Kuzan at this time could be said to be acting unscrupulously in front of the public.
Almost everyone in Dressrosa saw this, including the Revolutionary Army. The former admiral of the navy has now become a pirate, and this news can no longer be concealed.
"How about launching a demon-killing order? Anyway, Lord Yinmu's orders are to wipe out the place, so just destroy them all."
"The news has already spread. There is no point in doing this. Besides... Dressrosa, the Kingdom of Prodens, and the three nearby member states have all sent questions to the World Government. We can't just silence them all or ignore them."
"Then find an excuse. I remember that Caesar Courant activated some kind of weapon of mass destruction in Punk Hazard.
Then let’s say this time Doflamingo’s attempt to control weapons of mass destruction failed, and ultimately led to unrest.”
In just a few words, what happened in Dressrosa had been determined by the Five Elders, and a new bounty order was drawn up and ready for sale.
In the New Marine Headquarters and Dressrosa, the atmosphere was completely different.
Akainu was furious after burning the last table in the logistics department. On Dressrosa, Fujitora and a group of marines were apologizing in person.
Violet, however, has been using her ability to observe the situation in the sky, and many citizens are doing the same thing as Violet.
They didn't stare at the fruit, but they could see the collision of fire and lightning.
The battle between Zekrom and Rashiram has not stopped yet. If conditions permit, the battle between the two dragons can even last until the entire continent is reduced to scorched earth.
There were no excessive words, no debate between ideals and reality, only a clash of force.
Even the navy did not interfere with them and just maintained alert, but the fearless CP0 was loyally carrying out his mission.
Click, click.
His trembling fingers kept pressing the shutter button, and the captured images were transmitted to other people through the Den Den Mushi. Soon, he completed his mission, but on the final photo sent back, all that could be seen was a blinding light.
Chapter 8: Crazy, all crazy (k)
"Was there something annoying next to you just now?"
"Probably. It's already been done."
The ant did not attract the attention of Zekrom and Rashiram, and they did not even attack him deliberately, but in order to take clear pictures, CP0 can be said to have put life and death aside.
But not being noticed doesn't mean you can leave here intact.
Arceus' request was not to affect the islands below, which was a relatively high requirement. If it did not affect the islands below, then it would only affect the islands above. The sky was filled with thunder, lightning and flames.
This CP0 was merely affected by the full-strength attack from Zekrom and Rashiram, but at least he was able to professionally press the final shutter button instead of choosing to run away.
He is countless times more dedicated than the CP0 who intervened in the battle between Kaido and Luffy in the original timeline. Of course, being affected by unknown aoe and angering Kaido in the battle have completely different effects.
At least Zekrom and Rashiram didn't stare at him with horror.
"You know, come on Hiram, I've wanted to beat you up a long time ago."
"What a coincidence, I thought so too."
The two dragons fought tirelessly, without stopping day or night. Their attack did not affect Dressrosa, but made the night sky here as bright as day. In their understanding, a little light and noise did not have any impact at all.
And in a way, these lights actually helped them a lot.
First, the earthquake caused by Pica changed the entire terrain of Dressrosa, then battles broke out in various places, and finally, with the impact of the aftermath of the Holy Mother Flame, Dressrosa was almost renovated.
Most of the buildings are in ruins and in urgent need of reconstruction.
Most of the people in Dressrosa have a cheerful attitude towards this. They have their freedom, have regained their lost memories, and are full of expectations for the future. Residents across the country are rebuilding their homes together with the Dontata tribe.
In order to rebuild their home as quickly as possible, they worked almost day and night. The light of thunder and fire was like an artificial sun, giving them a new source of light.
I even felt something completely different from it.
Pokémon have different abilities, especially those Pokémon that possess "authority", which can bring about visions of heaven and earth simply by appearing without even having to fight.
Heavy rain in Kyogre's territory and the magma ground under Groudon's feet.
Xerneas, who shares life and brings spring to all things.
Inpeltal, who plunders everything and makes everything wither and die, are Pokémon with strong external expressions.
Zekrom and Reishiram do not have the power to change like the earth and the ocean, nor do they have the deterrent power over life and death. Their influence is more on the power of the mind.
This power will also have an invisible impact on the surrounding areas.
Boom!
Along with the roar of Zekrom's thunder, the craftsmen below also swung their hammers.
There are not many countries with widespread electricity, and the circuits in Dressrosa were destroyed in the battle a long time ago. Now lighting basically relies on torches and the like.
The extremely long-lasting lightning effect was much stronger than a torch. The lightning all over the sky dispelled the darkness, and the craftsmen could also see the building materials below more clearly.
But in the shadow formed by the lightning, he seemed to see something strange.
It was clearly a shadow, but he saw himself in it, or to be more precise, his dream self.
He seemed to see himself creating an incredibly sophisticated machine with just a few gestures of his hands, and flying into the sky with people amid the cheers of the crowd.
Rubbing his eyes, the craftsman looked at his dream self in disbelief. That was his former dream and ideal, but it was gradually abandoned with the passage of time.
This was a legendary and romantic experience for him. At this moment, the wonderful lightning reminded him of this past event.
"It turns out... I've never persisted in my dreams... But this is also good, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do so."
After reminiscing about his youth, he turned around and continued swinging the hammer.
Every time you swing a tool, your ideal self is waving at you.
This made him feel his heart was pounding, and even his heart beat faster.
Just when the beating of the heart reached its peak, the light of fire replaced the light of lightning, and the shadow of myself disappeared.
Instead, there was a road full of thorns, with layers of thorns burning with blazing white flames. At the end of the road, a weathered but upright figure was looking back at him.
Although his face looked a little old, it was obvious that it was himself. Compared to his past ideals, that was what he looked like after experiencing real life.
Although it was hard work, there was satisfaction on his face.
This craftsman was just one example, and on that night, the people on the entire island seemed to see a miniature of themselves.
Some people have put their ideals into practice, some have continued to strive for their ideals, and some have chosen to be down-to-earth and walk out their truest path, which has also made them realize that there seem to be more choices in the future.
This is the effect that the power of Zekrom and Rashiram has on them. When their real bodies appear in battle with all their strength, the power of ideals and reality will unknowingly affect the surroundings.
This kind of power can evoke emotions in people's hearts, but how to choose is still up to them.
The next day, the reconstruction of Dressrosa continued, but the outer area of the bullfighting arena was transformed into a memorial hall.
Luffy's presence was greatly reduced, and not many people in Dressrosa remembered him, but the appearances of Usopp and Buggy were remembered, and after removing Sucrose's abilities, they became heroes of Dressrosa.
People remembered their faces and placed their statues behind the statue of Cyrus.
On the high ground created by Pica's ability, some craftsmen were casting statues of Zekrom and Reishiram under the guidance of Violet.
Except for the people taken away by the beasts, the rest of the Don Quixote family were either arrested by the navy or disappeared in the chaos. The terrain changed by Pica's ability was difficult to restore, so they simply made use of it.
In the minds of the people here, Zekrom and Rashiram prevented the mysterious attack anyway.
Originally, only Violet could use her ability to clearly see the appearance of Rashiram and Zekrom, but after one night, many people saw the shadows of Zekrom and Rashiram, and had a better understanding of what happened that day.
At the same time, a group of World Government agents also came to the island. Their ostensible job was to comfort and help Dressrosa deal with the ruins, but their actual mission was to search for fragments of the Our Lady of Flame.
Try to bring back all the remaining things.
King Liku didn't manage those agents, but dealt with various troublesome issues.
Over the years, Doflamingo has caused irreparable damage to Dressrosa's ethics.
Many families have inexplicably chaotic relationships. A person now even has multiple fathers, mothers, and spouses at the same time. Even if all the judges on the island were combined, they would not know how to make a judgment and can only give advice.
It seems that this chaos cannot be repaired in a short period of time, but the joy of regaining freedom has temporarily diluted this emotion.
When the new day comes, newspapers are delivered to various places by news birds.
After experiencing several major incidents in succession, Morgans' heart has been fully exercised, so he is still laughing wildly in his newspaper office.
[The former admiral's defection. It has been confirmed that the former admiral Kuzan has officially joined the Beasts Pirates. His current status is unknown. ]
In the past few days, Kuzan has been riding the bicycle everywhere, and he has been moving the marked bicycle in front of a large number of navy, citizens of Dressrosa, and countless forces gathered in Dressrosa.
Considering what he did in this operation and what happened in the past year, Kuzan's movements could no longer be concealed.
It also appeared in the headlines of the newspapers.
Logically speaking, although such news is shocking, it is not enough to make the front page headlines.
This is old news, and the fact that the Navy has also filled the position of Admiral can only be described as shocking, but not particularly shocking.
It's quite different from the battle between Kuzan and Akainu a year ago, and the news that he left the navy at that time.
The rumors that were flying around before also made many people mentally prepared for this. The reason why Morgans put Kuzan on the headlines again was because there was someone next to him for comparison.
