Corviknight, trapped by the spider web, had not yet given up struggling. Its wings flapped up and down constantly, with the tail feathers at the front-end entangled with the web.
During its evolution, Corviknight had already transformed its outer feathers into steel. Though they were feathers, they were as sharp as blades.
If it were an ordinary rope net, its feathers would have shredded it. However, this was a web made by Maria, and the more Corviknight resisted, the stronger the web’s restraint became.
“What’s wrong with it?”
“I don’t know. I can’t communicate with it. Its mind is a tangled mess right now…Just like father when drunk, it’s filled with violent thoughts.”
Yamato answered Maria’s question while suppressing Corviknight with one hand, at the same time, she was feeling around its neck, having noticed a strange flash there earlier.
She quickly found the tracker that Indigo had installed. Due to Corviknight’s unique body structure, it had been welded directly onto its feathers.
Although Corviknight’s feathers didn’t have pain nerves, it still made Yamato uncomfortable.
“Those b*stards… Don’t let me find out who did this! Doctor! Where’s the antidote made from Pecha Berry? Bring it quickly!”
Yamato wasn’t skilled in medicine and couldn’t do much for the sick people. At most, she could slightly relieve some pain using the Power of Viridian.
But because of the Power of Viridian, she was an excellent Pokémon doctor.
The Power of Viridian gave her the ability to soothe Pokémon’s pain and while healing, she can also roughly sense where the problem was in their bodies.
When she noticed Corviknight’s madness, she used the Power of Viridian to alleviate its symptoms.
The Power of Viridian is all-purpose for Pokémon’s injuries and illnesses. However, in some cases, it may not be as effective as specialized Berries, especially when she sensed that Corviknight’s condition was due to poisoning.
For Corviknight, IQ was undoubtedly a poison, and Pecha Berry, which specializes in detoxification, became the most direct way to cure it.
“Coming…coming right away, Oni Princess, please wait a moment.”
The ship’s doctor quickly returned to the medical room on the Mammoth and found the corresponding potion.
With the potion in hand, Yamato forcefully pried open Corviknight’s beak and poured the prepared potion directly into it. As the potion entered its body, Corviknight ceased its fierce struggle.
“It’s okay, it’s okay! It’s safe now, just rest well. Maria, please.”
The Pecha Berry took effect quickly. Soon, Yamato sensed feedback from Corviknight again and indicated to Maria that she could remove the web.
Maria’s webs were extremely sticky, but she also had methods to handle them. If not dealt with by her, it would be quite troublesome for others to handle these webs.
“Jack, look at this thing. Can you identify who it belongs to?”
While calming Corviknight, Yamato tossed the tracker to Jack. Maria rarely left Onigashima, and Yamato wasn’t interested in intelligence work, usually leaving it to Speed and the others.
This time, however, she and Maria had set out on Jack’s ship, and since they had “sneaked” out, she hadn’t brought the others. Among those present, Jack was the most familiar with the outside world.
“I don’t know. There are no markings on it.”
In the world of pirates, it is common practice to display the pirate flag on various objects to identify their affiliation. This is also the most effective way to determine the identity of a force.
At the same time, it is also a good way to provoke conflicts between other forces. Many simple-minded people will make rash decisions based on the flags they discover.
However, it is unrealistic to try to provoke a conflict between major forces in this way. They are not incapable of communicating, and such matters can be easily resolved through negotiation. Once discovered, those who impersonate the flag will be jointly attacked by both parties.
If a fight did break out, it was usually because both sides wanted to fight and just needed an excuse.
Even then, the flag-impersonators wouldn’t be spared afterwards. Flags were as vital as life to pirates, and both destroying and impersonating them were acts of declaring war.
But Golden Lion was different. Over the years, he had been keeping a low profile and disappeared completely. Even on the tracker, Indigo did not leave a pirate flag.
However, Corviknight gave Yamato an answer.
“Do you remember where those guys are?”
“Caw…”
Corviknight nodded affirmatively. It had entered a berserk state, but it hadn’t completely lost its memory.
It still has some memories of the appearance of that island and can roughly recall the route to fly there.
After flapping its wings a few times, Corviknight stood up again.
IQ hadn’t severely damaged its body; it was more like a stimulant, making it slightly exhausted but without serious consequences.
With the help of the Power of Viridian, it had recovered significantly.
Pokémon could also hold grudges. Since Corviknight Taxi Company’s inception, there had never been an accident, making this Corviknight particularly resentful of Golden Lion’s actions.
“Wait, wait, you’re still not in shape. Leave it to your companions.”
Seeing Corviknight trying to stand up to lead the way, Yamato stopped it and whistled towards the sky.
The loud whistle echoed, and soon, two shadows appeared on the horizon. They were the other Corviknight she had brought, who had been searching for the missing Corviknight and now flew back at her summons.
“Jack, destroy that thing.”
“Hmm?”
“Since those guys installed such a device on Corviknight, they must have a way to track its location. Once it’s destroyed, they’ll surely notice.
Although we don’t know their intentions, since they want to track Corviknight, they’ll definitely come to us. We’ll wait for them.”
Corviknight’s memory of the route was quite vague, and Yamato was unsure if it could really find the way back. So, she chose this method of waiting for the enemy.
When it came to matters related to Kaido and battles, her instincts were quite sharp.
“No need, those guys… seem to have already arrived.”
Jack casually discarded the tracker, and they saw a black dot in the sky growing larger—a massive floating island drifting towards the Mammoth.
Golden Lion had been following Corviknight nearby with his ability. From the moment Yamato removed the tracker, they had sensed something was amiss.
“Caw!”
Seeing the floating island, the Corviknight that had gone missing cried out, explaining everything to the others.
“Excellent, let’s send those guys flying! Doing such things to Pokémon…is unforgivable!”
With that, Yamato leapt into the air, and as she descended, the two healthy Corviknight began to expand, taking on their Gigantamax forms…
