Arceus’ Pirate Journey - Chapter 1447

Chapter 1429 My dear daughter, what is your choice?

There are records of the Nika Fruit in the documents recorded by the World Government, but not many, and not all-encompassing. I’m afraid even the eaters can’t clearly explain to what extent this fruit can be used.

Although also exhausted after the final blow, “Kaido” still had the strength to speak, but “Luffy” was different. Even the sound of the liberation drum did not have the same effect as before, but instead drained his vitality.

There are many devil fruits that have side effects, but this abnormal phenomenon is different.

In addition, this fruit inexplicably reincarnated into his pocket, and Yamato had a feeling that the consciousness of this fruit was invisibly driving all of this.

“In that case.”

Looking at the fruit in her hand, Yamato suddenly had an idea, and she threw the fruit away casually.

Due to the shape of “Ghost Island”, its roof has a certain slope. Following the holes left on the roof of “Ghost Island”, the Nika Fruit quickly disappeared from Yamato’s sight, and Yamato just stood there waiting for its reaction.

The battle below the “Ghost Island” is not over yet. Just as those CP0 said before, the war has developed to this point and it is no longer something that can be decided by one or two people.

Even though the battle among senior officials has ended, the fighting among ordinary people has not stopped.

At the same time, many famous people died in the battle, such as “Kurozumi Orochi”, who was crushed by the rubble and eventually beheaded with a single sword.

As a user of the mythical beast species, he did not use the strength that matched the mythical beast species at all, and was not even as capable as the fox that had eaten the mythical beast species.

But at the lower level, that is, at the bottom of the “Ghost Island”, there was originally a large amount of explosives stored there.

Originally, the flames had already approached here, but the ice pillars made by Yamato to support Onigashima invisibly curbed the spread of the flames and prevented the explosion of the explosives.

However, the ice blocked some of the necessary routes, and the impact caused by the small-scale battle in the outer area created an air wave that pushed the fruit back again.

Everything seemed to go back in time. After many twists and turns, the Nika Fruit once again appeared in front of Yamato.

“Very good, there really is something wrong with this fruit. No wonder father said before that ordinary devil fruit awakening may be dangerous. Are those jailer beasts in Impel Down that failed to awaken their consciousness taken over by the fruit?

It seems that this fruit is more dangerous than ordinary fruits.”

Looking at the Nika Fruit rolling to her feet again, Yamato had no intention of picking it up. She wanted to see what choice the fruit would make if she didn’t touch it.

However, compared to Yamato, Fuzzy F in Kuri seemed a little excited at this time.

“Sure enough, it’s the problem with that fruit. So it’s not that the red-haired guy wants to steal it, but that it actively attracted the red-haired guy?”

“Foz. F, you’re thinking too much. Even if the devil fruit has a certain level of consciousness, it’s not that exaggerated. How can it control another person’s actions from such a distance?

You also saw that it disappeared for a while and then inexplicably returned to the young lady’s side. At most, it was able to use the surrounding environment to change its position.”

The incident of Red Hair snatching the fruit was the turning point in Foz F’s fate. He once thought it was the root of misfortune, but later he was glad that it happened. However, he still overreacted to this incident.

Sasaki on the side had a different opinion. After all, what Foz F said was a bit too outrageous.

“But you’re not right. Aren’t devil fruits a product of nature’s disgust? How could it possibly take advantage of all this?”

“Okay, don’t dwell on this issue. There are too many unsolved mysteries about devil fruits. Even someone as smart as me doesn’t understand its essence. There is no clue to study this thing. It’s all based on conjecture.”

Quinn, the “pinnacle of intelligence”, interrupted them because in his opinion it was meaningless to imagine things out of thin air.

“But I’m really curious about this fruit. It doesn’t matter whether the young lady brings it back or not. The two Straw Hat boys eat the same fruit. I wonder if I can use a few tons of barbecue to trick that boy into coming over to study it. He should be quite cooperative.”

At this moment, Quinn awakened a strange desire to research and tried to lure the other party with food. In his opinion, a person who could gain weight even in prison would most likely not give up the temptation of delicious food.

Besides, at most he would just draw some blood, which was harmless. Quinn felt that it would not be difficult to trick Luffy over by taking advantage of this free meal opportunity.

When it comes to technological research, Quinn is indeed the only authority here. At least he is the only one who can tinker with the sophisticated instruments in the laboratory, so no one argues with him on this issue.

They just have different opinions in other aspects. For example, Manderfesch is more interested in Nika’s choice.

“Don’t you think your focus is weird? I think there’s something wrong with that fruit. It’s like it gave up on the Straw Hat Boy and chose the young lady. Can a devil fruit be a fence-sitter?”

“It’s a devil after all. Isn’t it normal for a devil to break his promise? By the way, why is this thing called a devil fruit? Did people in the past discover its drawbacks?

If this thing really has such strong autonomy, would it know the treasures hidden by the previous owner?”

“Do you still want to borrow money from the devil?”

“That’s not the case. After all, paying back the devil sounds complicated. Let’s just forget it. Anyway, Brother Manderfesh, do you have any spare money?”

“You are really principled in this regard.”

Something familiar was still going on, debt repayment and new borrowing were completed skillfully, and Drake expressed her attitude, but it was not difficult to see that she was also a little interested in this so-called fruit consciousness.

“So, if that’s the case, assuming that Joy Boy has this ability, then hundreds of years ago, this fruit also abandoned him after discovering that something was wrong, and then disappeared and waited for so many years before finding a second suitable host?”

“Not necessarily. After all, the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia records the Rubber Fruit. Even if someone ate it in the past, it might not awaken into this state. But this has nothing to do with us. There is only one such outrageous fruit recorded.

Besides, our abilities are all related to Lord Arceus, so even if they are the abilities of devil fruit transformation, this hidden danger is probably gone. “

Mandfesh’s last words were unanimously agreed upon by the people around him, but no one took this so-called hidden danger seriously. Even for Nika in front of him, there was only such a possibility, and the probability was quite low.

The birth date of the Devil Fruit cannot be verified, but over the years, no one has ever heard of any Devil Fruit that could betray. The most common one is a failed awakener like Jailermon.

“Well, they are just dead things. They can only guide them in this way at best. There is no need to keep paying attention to them. Miss Yamato’s appearance has already affected the situation over there. Compared with the fruit, the decision she made has a greater impact, isn’t it?”

On the other side, Yamato did not pick up the fruit, but left it quietly there.

Anyway, Nika has no legs, so it is impossible for her to run into Yamato’s hands by herself. Her ability was born after passing through the hands of Arceus.

In Nika’s understanding, this is already very different from the Devil Fruit, otherwise it would not behave like this towards a person with special abilities.

“Is the Straw Hat Boy dead?”

“Kaido” was still lying in the original pit to recover his strength. Although he could still speak, he used all his strength when he was about to meet “Luffy”‘s Ape God Spear. Although it was the Flame Bagua in beast form, it was also a blow he tried his best.

“Kaido” did not burn his vitality, but was defeated by the stronger “Waltz·Juetian”. He failed in both the contest of strength and the contest of fire.

Without any external help, he also needs to rest.

“Dead.”

“As expected, I was wondering why I didn’t hear that strange laughter again. He is a good opponent. I will remember that brat, even if the way we fight is weird.

But how did you kill him? I didn’t feel your fighting spirit again.”

“Life force is exhausted. The ability of devil fruits consumes physical strength. Animal-type is no exception. That fruit can give people almost unlimited physical strength. The price is naturally life.”

“It’s a pity that he didn’t die directly in my hands.”

What “Kaido” regrets is not the result of death, but the way of death. This is also a war. No matter what the reason for starting the war is, once you participate in the war, you must be prepared for death.

It’s the same for everyone, even himself, but at this point, “Luffy” has become one of his most memorable opponents.

The war of the undead only exists in the hands of dreamy screenwriters, and Kaido already understood this clearly when he was ten years old.

“You can’t do that. That punch was more powerful than your moves, and you took it with your head.”

“Hehe, it feels really weird to see you lecturing me with this face. I never thought there would be such a day.”

“What a coincidence. I feel really good about being able to pin you to the ground. Although you are not my target, the matter between us is not over yet.

It was originally prepared for Quinn, but I’ll give it to you first.”

After taking a casual aim, Yamato took out a diamond-shaped pill and threw it into Kaido’s mouth. The extreme bitterness immediately spread in Kaido’s mouth, and the medicinal power contained in it also spread to every part of Kaido’s body.

Soon, “Kaido”‘s physical strength recovered at a speed visible to the n*ked eye.

“Has your technology developed to this point? What an exaggerated effect! This doesn’t seem like something Quinn can do.”

Feeling the new strength growing in his body, “Kaido” felt even more envious. This exaggerated drug effect was like a warrior’s second life.

For those of them who often fight for several days, this thing can definitely turn the outcome of the battle.

“Haven’t you guessed where this thing came from? Let’s finish the battle here first, and then I’ll have plenty of time to have some fun with you.”

Clenching his fists, Yamato was ready to beat up “Kaido”. Judging from the experiment just now, this “Kaido” was not difficult to deal with at all.

“You are right. This war should end. The remaining battles are meaningless.”

In the previous battle, Kaido’s Den Den Mushi had been destroyed, so Kaido, who had regained his strength, once again transformed into a beast form and peered down from the hole in the roof.

“Straw Hat Boy, you’re already dead! This war should stop. If you choose to surrender now, I may consider giving you another chance!”

Before, Kaido regretted not cutting off Luffy’s head and declaring victory, but he still didn’t do that now. After all, this was not the enemy he killed with his own hands, and after a fierce battle, Kaido further recognized the opponent’s strength.

So he just grabbed “Luffy’s” old body and flew down, even putting a straw hat on him.

But the war did not end because of this. The death of the “main general” did not declare the end of the war. Instead, it aroused the determination of some people to continue fighting. Even though they knew they could not win, they still resolutely launched an attack on “Kaido” and his subordinates.

“Idiot, your captain is already dead, what’s the point of continuing to resist?! Just wait for death!”

“Guys like you won’t understand. The relationship between partners is something that monsters like you can’t understand!”

This is a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, and now the one walking down is “Kaido”. What that means is self-evident.

But this would not be a reason for them to give up. Even though they had just finished fighting with the “Hundred Beasts” cadres, they dragged their tired bodies to stand up again.

“Hey, Trafalgar, it looks like that guy has failed.”

“Yeah, this alliance isn’t very successful.”

If the Straw Hat Pirates were tired, then they were already exhausted after joining forces to defeat “BIG MOM”. Now Law didn’t even have the strength to initiate a long-distance transfer.

“How about it? Do you want to surrender? I see you have no strength left.”

“Do you still have the energy to joke? It seems that you are in a good mood. However, surrendering is something that only low-level pirates would do. You should do it yourself. I will not let him catch me again, Trafalgar.”

The magnetic force controlled the various metals around it and condensed them into a fist again.

The remaining people had their own choices: either try to escape or continue fighting, but there were exceptions.

“Surrender, let’s surrender. Even Luffy is dead, how can we possibly defeat him?”

His body has grown bigger, but his heart has not grown much. If Luffy defeated Kaido, Momonosuke might have grown a little, but now this blow has directly exposed his true colors and he has become the same person again.

While his retainers were planning to take him to the final battle, Momonosuke began to feel timid.

At the same time, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, “Speed” in the form of a centaur was taking “Xiao Yu” here to escape. The control of the Tuanzi Fruit over these “givers” was quite powerful.

Even though “Kaido” left an indelible impression of terror on them, they also wanted to protect their master in their hearts. In the previous battle, this fruit greatly changed the situation of the grassroots combat power.

“Master, hurry up, we have to leave here quickly. I know it will be too late if we leave the path to Qiangang. Master Yamato? Why are you here?”

“Don’t be so nervous, Speed. I won’t harm such a young child. But the situation is too chaotic now. I need to let her get some sleep first.”

In the cadre battle, the “Hundred Beasts” side was basically in a disadvantageous position, and “Speed” was one of the few acquaintances she knew.

“This guy Caesar’s skills are really harmful to people. You really dare to eat this inferior version.”

Yamato was chatting about family matters as usual, but “Speed” was wary of him as if facing a great enemy. Of course, this was meaningless, as she could not react at all in front of Yamato.

Before she could see Yamato’s movements clearly, “Xiaoyu” had already passed into Yamato’s hands and was knocked unconscious by her.

As Xiaoyu fell into a coma, the Dango Fruit also lost its control over the “Giver”, and those who were originally fighting in Onigashima also stopped their actions, covering their heads.

“Even children hate him. This Kaido is such a complete bastard. It’s going to be troublesome to deal with the things here.”

Yamato did not intend to fight and leave. Kaido’s chaotic mode was contrary to her ideas.

Instead, she wanted to clean up the mess properly, but when she had to do everything by herself, she realized how complicated these things were.

Even if she could use the situation in Wano Country as a reference, she couldn’t replicate it directly here. Whether it was the improvement in productivity brought by Pokémon or the public support gained over time, they were not available here.

[You see, apart from reality, the ideal you admire does not exist at all. Even if she has a perfect ideal, is there a way to realize it in this terrible environment? ]

[You have to do it anyway. Giving up your ideals and indulging yourself in what you call reality, what changes can you make? Expecting a savior to come down from the sky?

Perhaps many efforts are just a drop in the bucket, but ideals are realized through accumulation bit by bit.

You have also seen that world history. They gave up their ideals and placed their hopes on a liberating fighter. If it weren’t for that Nika, would they have forever succumbed to the cruel reality before them?

Instead of waiting, you might as well try to save yourself. 】

[Isn’t it because of their excessive ideals that they gave up the truth, which led to all this? ]

Ideals and reality are both contradictory and unified, and both Reshiram and Zekrom are very clear about this. The two dragons who were once one know what it means to be a complete dragon.

Their debates and fights lasted for who knows how many years, but it was always a draw.

But they will not compromise in front of each other. Even if they give their power to Yamato at the same time, they are currently unable to achieve true fusion. Currently, it is only a superficial mixed use.

However, with Yamato as the transit point, this force also began to rotate like the Tai Chi diagram. When the reality gave birth to the ideal and the ideal gave birth to the reality, the power of the Tao Dragon would be revived.

Yamato pondered over how to deal with the situation here, but she was not the only one thinking about life.

“No, what do you mean by something that is not like what Quinn can do? Kaido over there doesn’t have the help of Lord Arceus, and he even wants those broken fruits with full side effects. Why does he look down on my skills?”

The table was shaking under his slaps, and Quinn was complaining about it all.

“Be gentle. Remember to fix the table for me if it’s broken. Isn’t that normal? Can you make something that Lord Arceus made?”

“Of course I can’t do that, but Asie and I are working on the degraded export version. As long as you give me a reference sample, I will definitely be able to figure it out in the end!

Besides, my skills have been recognized by Lord Arceus!”

Quinn’s extreme self-confidence made the people around him doubt their memories, including the moment he reminded him to pay attention to the table.

“Why don’t I remember anything like this?”

“Hehehe, you and Zeraora weren’t married at that time, and you were always in Zou afterwards, so of course I don’t have any impression of you. Although Lord Arceus didn’t say it directly, I have been the one to take the blame for the technology all these years.

Think about it, if it was a useless person with no skills at all, would he be able to take the blame?
If he insisted on taking it, would the other party believe it? “

It is undeniable that during the years when Quinn was blamed, it did affect the other party’s vision and hearing to a certain extent.

You can say that a monkey stole the peaches from the orchard, but it doesn’t make sense to say that the monkey changed into someone else’s appearance to tease him.

“So, even if he didn’t say it explicitly, Lord Arceus has tacitly acknowledged my technical level. Moreover, it’s not like I don’t have any research results, but they are not as powerful as Lord Arceus himself, and they are not as conspicuous as those pots.”

“If you say so, then you do have a point.”

It is impossible to refute Quinn’s ideas. He successfully improved his own style by using the method of pulling tiger skins. Compared with Quinn, Kaido also had a playful smile on his face at this time.

“What are you laughing at?”

“I was wondering what this girl wants to do in the future. She won’t like the current situation over there, but if she wants to make changes, she can’t get around the other “me”.

But “I” will not agree with the truth that is just based on words. If I want another “I” to listen to her, I must use force. But once she does this, it means she agrees with my way.

When she comes back, I can use this to question her. For her who has always disagreed with me, this is a big failure. No matter what she chooses, I have already won. “

It is impossible to change Kaido’s mind without using force. Simply relying on force will make people agree with Kaido’s thinking. Perhaps Kaido left such a conspiracy many years ago.

“So what kind of answer do you want?”

“Hehe, it doesn’t matter what the answer is. As long as she gets over this period of hesitation and can stick to herself no matter what the situation is, she will be considered successful.”

Kaido stood up and left, walking towards the dock.

“I’ll go to the dock and take a look. Those people have been busy for so long, and the design of the ship should be ready. As for the result of her trip, she will give me the answer when she comes back.”

After giving Arceus a reason, Kaido left without looking back.

Compared with pure strength, Kaido also pays attention to the heart. No matter whether he is good or evil, if he cannot implement the ideals in his heart, he is destined to never become a truly strong man.

Reality is often more cruel than imagination, but Kaido still believes that Yamato, who has persisted for so many years, will not go wrong in such a place. It is for this reason that he left here decisively.

Of course, no one can rule out the possibility that he doesn’t want to see his counterpart being beaten.
