Golden Lion’s memory of Kaido stayed at the time before the God Valley battle. After that, he had no contact with Kaido. While Kaido was growing and developing, Golden Lion had already become a pirate renowned across the seas.
In his view, only people like Whitebeard and Roger were worthy of being his opponents. Someone like Kaido, who relied on Charlotte Linlin to grow smoothly on the ship as an apprentice, is not a big threat at all.
After lifting these islands into the sky, Golden Lion started to focus on his own development. Relying on the remaining population on the islands, he lived a self-sufficient life, with a level of seclusion comparable to the previous Skypiea.
Occasionally, he would see some news in the newspapers, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. For example, he didn’t care about the title “Emperor of the Sea.” In his view, if he hadn’t retired, he would be the one closest to becoming the Pirate King.
“Have you found the whereabouts of those birds?”
“Not yet. These crows move irregularly between various islands. According to those people, these crows seem to be responsible for transporting customers between the islands.”
The captured individuals included not only Corviknight but also passengers on the taxi. After getting the information he wanted from them, Golden Lion threw them into a village on the island.
“Let’s release it and see if it returns to its nest. Indigo, you should have something that can track it, right?”
“It’s not difficult, but will it really return to its nest after being released?”
“Returning to the nest is an instinct for birds. Even if it doesn’t return, we have the tracker, don’t we?”
Finding a bus with a fixed route is easy; you just wait on the fixed route. But Corviknight is a taxi, not a bus.
Flying in the sky, they don’t have to follow fixed routes and can choose the most suitable route based on the situation. Kaido’s territory is now vast, and Corviknight taxi’s operating range even include Four Seas and Charlotte Linlin’s territories.
As long as you have money, they can take passengers to most places. In this case, finding a Corviknight is like looking for a needle in a haystack. They can only hope to rely on this Corviknight in hand.
Besides attacking, a beast after going berserk mostly follows biological instincts. This is just an attempt.
Indigo also has a medicine to remove it, but Corviknight’s reactions showed it is too intelligent. If it returns to normal, it may not behave the same way.
As a scientist under the Golden Lion, Indigo is also a top talent. Making a basic tracker is not complicated. Soon, the Corviknight was released.
Finding the Corviknight’s group would be ideal, but even if they can’t find them, if a berserk Corviknight goes on a killing spree on an island, they can observe how it fights.
As the Corviknight was released, the floating Sky Islands controlled by the Golden Lion gradually flew in the direction of the tracker. No one noticed that several small black dots were quietly moving high in the sky.
…………
Some time later, in the sea area where Corviknight disappeared, on the Mammoth.
“I suddenly feel this was a mistake…”
Looking at the blue sea, Jack suddenly sighed. When Yamato called them out for help, they didn’t think much and came along. But when they reached the designated sea area, they realized it was a mistake.
Because Yamato’s plan had no plan; her approach was to take things as they come.
“It’s not been long yet. Let’s wait a few more days.”
Maria had much more patience than Jack, but looking at Yamato’s actions, she wasn’t confident either, as she was just driving away the seabirds.
“Strange, Dad clearly said that Bird Pokemon love Bounsweet, but there’s no reaction at all.”
Besides bringing Jack and Maria, she also brought many Pokemon, including Bounsweet. Her goal was to use Bounsweet to lure out Corviknight.
Due to their nature, Bounsweet is on the diet of almost all Bird Pokemon, including Corviknight. The Pokemon created on Onigashima have greater control over themselves. They don’t eat Bounsweet, but they are still attracted to it.
On Onigashima, Bounsweet’s bathwater has always been one of the Pokemon’s favorite things.
Bounsweet’s scent can travel very far. But so far, even News Coo has been drawn in, yet there was no sign of any Corviknight.
“Is this your method of searching?”
“I thought it would be able to attract it!”
“Normally, yes. But it’s missing, which is clearly not normal. Why do you think it would come out looking for food?”
Hearing Jack and Maria’s words, Yamato’s movements suddenly stiffened. She seemed to have forgotten something.
“Do you think… there’s a possibility… it was just accidentally delayed?”
Yamato seemed to be looking for an excuse to cover up the mistake. But Jack and Maria’s skeptical gazes were already locked on her. The other crew members around them automatically chose to ignore this matter.
Jack and Maria could make fun of her, but the others had no interest in such matters.
But sometimes, luck comes suddenly. To put it less eloquently, ‘Fortune favors fools’.
Suddenly, a bird’s cry came from the sky, and Corviknight actually appeared.
“See? What did I tell you?”
“…….”
Jack and Maria were speechless. Even if Jack thought it was just a coincidence, when coincidences really happen, it can only mean the other’s plan succeeded.
“Hey! Over here! Where have you been these days?!”
Yamato shouted at the Corviknight in the sky, but its reaction was off. Instead of landing smoothly, it attacked Bounsweet, seemingly wanting to eat it.
In a rational state, Corviknight wouldn’t make such a mistake. But now, it was in a berserk state, mostly driven by wild instincts. Remembering the flag’s appearance was already impressive.
But its condition was quite complicated, seemingly struggling with something. It was the influence of the power within Yamato and others. The abilities modified by Arceus and the flag were equally noticeable. The Pokemon he created would not mistake it.
But most people don’t have this privilege, so ordinary passengers use the flag.
“Something’s wrong… Maria, bring it down!”
Seeing Corviknight first attempt to capture Bounsweet, then trying to fly away, Yamato noticed the abnormality. A spider web immediately shot from Maria’s hand, binding the Corviknight in the sky.
Seeing it still struggling, Yamato jumped onto its back and forcibly pressed it down onto the deck, also discovering the tracker that didn’t belong to Corviknight….
