Although it will take a lot of time to go there, the overall impact wasn’t significant since Kaido and Arceus’ training takes place alternatively. Kaido enjoys his training through entertainment, and he was satisfied with the training result.
For example, after reclaiming the Stone Plate, Arceus came up with some new tricks. He used rocks as muscles and plants as veins and bones and a group of dummies made from rocks stood before Yamato.
Under Arceus’ control, these rock soldiers attacked Yamato as if they were alive. This was the new training he prepared for Yamato and the others, which he called the “Stone Sentinel Maze.”
It was an upgraded version of Yamato Battle Royale, where they had to navigate through a maze made of rocks, defeat the rock soldiers that could appear at any time, and reach the exit within a set time.
There might be various mechanisms inside, including but not limited to Grass Knot, Stealth Rock, Whirlpool, and more.
Kaido’s training was more dangerous, but all the dangers were known, while Arceus’ training, on the other hand, was safer but full of surprises.
On the last night before departure, Yamato rushed out of the Stone Sentinel Maze set up by Arceus, panting heavily.
“Dad, I did it!”
“Well done, you’re ready to proceed to Level Two.”
“Huh?! Dad, you’ve been influenced by Father. You weren’t like this before.”
“That’s because you’ve grown up. Alright, today’s training is over. We’ll depart for Sabaody Archipelago tomorrow. Anyone else want to go with you?”
Beasts Pirates has the potential to develop into Beasts Pirates Kindergarten, a trend that was strengthening as their roots in Wano Country deepened.
Kaido’s daughter, the children Kaido brought back while he was out, the children other officers brought back, as well as some children of regular pirates who work under the Beasts Pirates’ banner.
However, there were only a few trained personally by Kaido on Onigashima. While the Beasts Pirates operate on a merit-based competition system, there is still a significant disparity in the benefits enjoyed by the internal members.
Yamato only has a few playmates, so when going to Sabaody Archipelago, she wouldn’t be alone.
“Um, Jack and Maria want to go. Robin hasn’t answered yet. Dad, is Robin allowed to go out?”
“Yes.”
Robin was the only one from Ohara who could freely come and go. Although she was also a scholar with a degree from Ohara, she hadn’t reported this degree, so the World Government had no information about her.
“Great!”
“Okay, go take a bath and rest. Don’t always make Chansey sing for you.”
Whenever something big happens, Yamato would get so excited that she couldn’t sleep, so Chansey had to use hypnosis on her, but as she grew older and developed more resistance, the singing’s effectiveness began to wane.
Meanwhile, on the Sky Island above Onigashima, Robin also told Olvia about Yamato’s invitation to her.
“They are going to Sabaody Archipelago to play?”
“That’s what she said, but it seems they have some business to attend to in Sabaody Archipelago, and playing is just a side trip.”
Some things, once lost, could never be found again. The current Robin has childhood playmates in her life, but her mentality was much more mature than that of ordinary children.
Even when playing, she would consider many things.
“Going to Sabaody Archipelago and back will take about two months. Do you want to go?”
“I kind of want to.”
“Okay, I’ll go and pack your clothes. Have fun.”
Olvia had always felt guilty towards Robin. Exploring history was her ambition and the last wish of her deceased husband, which was why she left Ohara when Robin was two years old.
She had wanted to make it up to Robin, but there had never been an opportunity, so she didn’t stop her from going.
The next day, the Genesis set sail on time, and Shayna and Olga boarded the ship together. They had been handling the affairs of the Sabaody Archipelago auction for the past few years, and this time was no exception.
One and a half month later, they arrived at Sabaody Archipelago, which was slightly longer than Olvia estimated because they didn’t take a straight route.
Ordinary people would dive underwater via coating and take the route through Fishman Island to reach Sabaody Archipelago. However, when Arceus or Kaido were with them, they would choose a detour and directly fly over the Red Line.
Sitting in her special seat, Yamato could see the towering mangrove trees.
Yarukiman Mangrove, a towering plant unique to this world, has thick roots exposed above the water surface, and 79 mangrove trees form the Sabaody Archipelago. Each mangrove tree has long roots, and people distinguished different trees based on the markings on the trunks.
Yarukiman Mangrove secrete special resin, which has formed the unique bubble culture here.
Bubble shopping carts, bubble Ferris wheels, bubble houses – it is a paradise for Bikini Bottom’s SpongeBob.
However, once they left this range, the bubbles would burst, so the bubble culture did not spread outside.
Another use of theirs was for Coating, which allows ships to submerge into the deep sea and reach the New World by passing through the vicinity of Fishman Island.
Coating craftsmen in Sabaody Archipelago were a high-income group, but there were also countless counterfeiters. You should be careful when choosing craftsmen; otherwise, the Coating might break midway, which would be disastrous.
Almost all craftsmen here have a zero negative review, as those whose Coating failed would die from the powerful water pressure, and barely anyone could return alive to leave negative reviews.
Although there were Marines stationed in Sabaody Archipelago, their main role is to maintain order when the Celestial Dragons appear here.
They also managed the 60-69 region, where the Marine base and the World Government’s office entrance was located.
In some areas, Marine patrol teams could be seen, where the security was relatively stable, but the lawless regions 1-29 were outside their jurisdiction.
By the way, the Marine’s jurisdiction and the lawless areas were right next to each other, separated by a segment of tree roots, presenting completely different scenes.
But because of this management style, as long as pirate ships didn’t dock near the Marine base, there were usually no problems.
The Genesis directly docked in the 30th region, near the location of the Bubble Park.
The Beasts Pirates’ flag fluttered in the wind, which startled many people at the port. Most people living here were used to seeing pirates, and ordinary pirate flags wouldn’t concern them, but the Beasts Pirates were different.
“Why are the Beasts Pirates here?”
“I don’t know. How could New World pirates come to this Failure Island?”
Island of Failures, Island of New Beginnings, these were all aliases for Sabaody Archipelago because countless pirates hit a wall here, and countless pirates enter the New World from here.
