APJ Chapter 351 The Princess of Diamonds

Previous ChapterNext Chapter


“Entertainment company and jewelers, the largest entertainment ship, is indeed a great idea.”

Gambling on this vast sea is completely legal, and compared to the ostensibly prohibited but never ceased slave trade, gambling seems much benign.

Entertainment ship, which should be called a full-fledged entertainment city in terms of scale. This proposal is similar to Gran Tesoro’s idea which was being proposed much earlier by Tesoro.

However, unlike the ship he built after obtaining the Gold-Gold Fruit, the current Tesoro plans to rely on the Beasts Pirates to achieve a similar concept, with many different settings in detail.

This is still a draft, and even the ship is just a conceptual sketch. Due to its size, it would take years to build such a ship even in this pirate world with a highly developed shipbuilding industry.

Arceus read the report written by Tesoro and arranged for someone to bring Tesoro over, and Queen, who was busy, also received an order.

In the Beasts Pirates, Queen is akin to a jack-of-all-trades, whether it’s in medical treatment or research, development or hosting programs, fighting or taking a beating, and even in mediating psychological emotions, Queen can play a very powerful role in many areas.

Meanwhile, at this age, Yamato is enthusiastic for just a short moment. Even though she had shown no interest in the pink diamond a moment ago, she now has a new idea in her mind.

A diamond that cost Tesoro a lot of salary seemed to be used as a spinning top by Yamato. The refractive index of diamonds is the highest among gemstones, and the fifty-seven facet cut can showcase this property to the fullest.

So, the pink diamond looked very beautiful when it rotated and reflected the light.

“Do you like it?”

“It’s quite interesting, but it’s too small, and having just one isn’t very exciting.”

“There will be more than one soon. Tomorrow, you can even use diamonds to play marbles if you want.”

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door from outside.

“Lord Arceus, I’m here. Here are the high-purity Seastone and other chemical materials you requested.”

Queen held a piece of Seastone in one hand. Although he is a modified Devil Fruit user, he would still become powerless if he directly touched Seastone. However, he has a prosthetic hand, and the mechanical hand was more convenient in this situation.

“But what do you need high-purity Seastone for?”

“Some extra preparation for a special little guy, and Mythical Pokémon require a good hand.”

Geodude, Gigalith, Onix, they were all Pokémon born from Seastone raw ores. Although they had Seastone components in their body and their skills had Seastone effects, high-purity Seastone and Seastone ore had fundamental differences.

What Queen brought at this moment was high-purity Seastone purified using a unique technique from Wano Country. It had much stronger suppression effects on Devil Fruit users than ordinary ores.

He briefly took the diamond that was being used as a spinning top by Yamato, and a beam of light began to rotate around it, Stone Plate and Pixie Plate separating from him.

For ordinary Pokémon like Geodude, two beams of energy were enough, but Mythical Pokémon would require greater effort.

Seastone below, pink diamond on top, the two ores gradually merged together and formed a humanoid body. With the continuous influx of energy from the plates, a pair of red eyes opened on the face position.

“Greetings, my lord.”

With a golden arched ring with a pink diamond embedded in it around her neck, the upper part of the body was in the shape of a white skirt, and above her head, there was a crown made of pink diamonds.

As her consciousness gradually improved, she gave a slight bow to Arceus with her hands holding up her skirt.

The Princess of Diamonds – Diancie.

She was not the evolution of a small diamond but a mutated form of it. Princess-like etiquette and manners were almost her standard, and unlike the human-speaking ability given to Zeraora later on, it was a natural ability.

“Every time, I can’t help but feel that this power is magical. Can lifeless ores really possess life like this?”

Queen was holding a cigar in his mouth as he marveled at this extraordinary power, while Yamato slowly approached Diancie.  Diancie’s height was around 70 centimeters, more than twice the size of Alcremie. Even though she had no legs, she can float in the sky thanks to her unique powers.

“Miss Yamato, hello.”

“You know me?”

“I am the creation of my lord, so naturally, I know you. But it’s just knowledge for now. Please take care of me in the future; we will probably be companions.”

“Don’t underestimate her. She’s called Diancie, and in legends, it is said that she can protect her companions from disasters and diseases.”

However, this is just a legend as Diancie are very rare, often hiding deep in the mines. People who can get to meet her are usually very lucky.

For someone with the Power of Viridian and a friendly personality, it’s very easy to communicate with a gentle Pokémon. In just a few minutes, they became close.

Alcremie, Smeargle, Diancie, Chansey, Miltank, in a sense, her team had already taken shape.

In contrast to Yamato’s often boisterous demeanor, Diancie appeared remarkably poised and graceful. She consistently exuded an air of elegance, and in the future, she would take on the responsibility of being Yamato’s etiquette teacher.

Although that wasn’t very important, sometimes it had to be taken into account.

“Lord Arceus, you didn’t ask for me just to deliver that piece of Seastone, did you?”

Watching Yamato playing with Diancie, Queen raised this question. Wano Country was the territory of the Beasts Pirates, so even sending a low-ranking member to deliver something shouldn’t pose any problems.

It was not necessary to have him come here just for a single piece of ore.

“Your knowledge of chemistry should be quite good, right?”

“Of course.”

Faced with Arceus’ somewhat irrelevant question, Queen still gave his answer. His expertise primarily lay in the fields of chemistry and biology; in these areas, he was truly an expert.

“What is the essence of a diamond?”

“A diamond… a pure crystal composed of carbon elements.”

“That’s correct. So, Diancie, demonstrate your ability.”

“Understood.”

Diancie stopped playing with Yamato and then placed her hands together in front of her chest, making a gesture similar to squeezing.

At first, it was just a pink halo, but soon there was a tinkling sound, and pink diamonds appeared out of thin air, soon piling up on the ground.

This was not creation; it was compression. Diancie could use her power to compress the carbon elements present in the air into these diamonds.

In other words, Diancie’s ability could compress things at the atomic level.

Pink diamonds are formed when carbon atoms experience self-displacement or internal lattice deformation. This is also why all the diamonds created by Diancie are pink diamonds, but her ability goes far beyond just that.
