Yamato is now already 20 years old, no longer the child she was years ago, and she also wants to do what she can.
She overheard this information while eavesdropping outside the door and was even taking action on her own accord.
Seeing Yamato speak so solemnly, Maria didn’t feel like staying any longer. After bidding farewell to the Setsuna family, she followed Yamato to the dock, where she saw Jack, who had been prepared long in advance.
“Why Mammoth? Yamato, didn’t Lord Arceus prepare a ship for you? Why aren’t you using your own ship?”
In terms of power, Yamato’s ship could be considered the fastest within the Beasts Pirates, even faster than the Genesis and the Beasts Pirates’ flagship.
But it was Jack’s ship that was ready now, which made Maria feel something was off.
“Ah, don’t mind the details. We need to hurry and set off.”
Yamato didn’t seem to want to answer that question and instead pushed Jack and Maria onto the ship, which soon left Mogura Port and headed out to sea.
“Yamato, where exactly are we searching?”
“Wait, let me check. The location where Corviknight went missing is this island. There are many islands nearby that aren’t our territory, so let’s start by searching this sea area.”
Yamato took out a sea chart that was quite wrinkled and marked, quickly pinpointing a general area to explore. Maria felt something was wrong but couldn’t quite tell what it was.
Jack didn’t care about such trivial matters, so Mammoth continued sailing towards that sea area.
However, Yamato didn’t know that her departure was already well known in Onigashima.
“Lord Sacred beast, Miss Yamato has set off on Jack’s ship, and she also has the sea chart with her. Is there anything else to pay attention to?”
Corviknight’s disappearance wasn’t recent; it happened around the time Skypiea was attacked. Taxi No. 28 hadn’t returned, and no one took it seriously at the time.
Due to the abnormal climate of the Grand Line, Corviknight couldn’t ensure route stability and would choose to detour or dock on a nearby island if it encountered unavoidable circumstances, resuming the journey once the storm had passed.
But several days passed without any news from Taxi No. 28. When the Beasts Pirates followed the locator on the carriage, they only found a damaged carriage on an island.
The rest, including people and Corviknight, went all missing, confirming they had disappeared.
Then Beasts Pirates soon locked down a rough sea area and conducted a certain degree of search but to no avail.
Today, when Shayna was reporting the latest developments, Arceus was slightly angry. The disappearance of a Pokémon was rare, let alone a taxi Pokémon like Corviknight.
Yamato overheard Shayna and Arceus’s conversation by chance and decided to take action.
To allow her to grow, both Arceus and Shayna pretended not to notice Yamato and let her take the sea chart.
“No need, she’s not a child anymore. Let her do what she wants. However, something seems off behind this matter.”
Arceus didn’t go personally. There were Beasts Pirates exploration teams nearby, but they hadn’t found a trace of Corviknight, as if it had mysteriously disappeared.
Whoever was behind this, it wasn’t simple.
“Understood, Lord Sacred Beast. I’ll leave now. Call me if you need anything.”
After handling her tasks, Shayna temporarily left, while Arceus made a phone call to Kaido.
This was why he didn’t personally go searching. It was best to have someone stay in Onigashima, and since Kaido was away, Arceus naturally stayed behind.
…
“Hey, Kaido.”
“Hmm? What’s up?”
“Any leads on that matter?”
Arceus asked Kaido directly. He had been wandering outside all along, so this matter was naturally handed over to him.
Corviknight’s disappearance wasn’t just simple; it represented the Beasts Pirates. Its disappearance meant someone was challenging the Beasts Pirates’ dignity.
“A bit, but I’m not entirely sure.”
“No matter. Yamato is heading to the sea area where you are. Secretly keep an eye on her for me, but don’t show yourself unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
“Worororo, so she has also started taking initiative. Don’t worry, I know what to do. You don’t need to worry about things here, just focus on handling other matters.”
After a burst of laughter, Kaido hung up, giving Arceus peace of mind.
However, most people couldn’t handle Kaido’s kind of care. With his personality, as long as they don’t die, it wasn’t a big deal. Even if Yamato knew she had this insurance, she wouldn’t rely on Kaido.
…
Far from where Corviknight went missing, a huge Sky Island floated in the sky.
And this island wasn’t made of Island Clouds but looked more like a natural island.
The island floated in the air due to some unknown power, and even had waterfalls flowing down.
Various strange beasts lived on the island. It was simply not suitable for humans to live, yet it was still occupied by people.
A strange sound came from the air and a scarf-wearing, clown-like person walked out.
“Piropiropiro, Captain Shiki, there’s a new breakthrough.”
Dr. Indigo, Golden Lion Pirates’ officer, a scientist and senior officer who has always followed Golden Lion .
Years ago, to escape from “Impel Down,” Golden Lion cut off his Seastone-shackled legs and began using Oto and Kogarashi, his two swords as prosthetic limbs.
After escaping, Shiki came to the New World, discussed future plans with Whitebeard, and then came to an island called “Merveille.”
Here, Golden Lion discovered special plants on the island.
These plants have many edible components, and one of the plants is called IQ.
For years, he hid his whereabouts and conducted research on “IQ” with his trusted Vice-Captain Dr. Indigo, while residing on the floating island and planning his comeback.
But their plan did not go smoothly. Although IQ can make beasts more aggressive, it also makes them uncontrollable, so there have been no results.
“What breakthrough?”
“It’s about that iron bird. IQ greatly affects it, but it’s still within controllable range.”
A few days ago, they coincidentally found a Corviknight. Compared to pure beasts, these intelligent Pokémon were more suitable for such research.
And this is the reason for Corviknight’s disappearance. Leaving behind Taxi No. 28’s carriage, Golden Lion used his ability to take away Corviknight that was pulling the carriage and start studying it.
