Although the small radar in his hand reacted to the plate brought by Big Mom, he wanted to confirm it again just in case the thing made by Queen was faulty, although it was unlikely.
The simplest methods are often the most direct, and checking the hardness is a good choice compared to complex technology.
Arceus and others went out treasure hunting, which is one of the most significant activities for pirates. Kaido ordered his subordinates to plan a new banquet. When they are not fighting, the largest additional expense for a pirate crew is the consumption during a banquet.
However, regardless of which pirate crew it is, they all maintain this tradition, albeit with differences depending on their financial resources and customs. It is normal for it to continue for several days in a row, and most pirates, except for those on duty, will choose to drink to their heart’s content.
“Boss Kaido, Boss Arceus’ ship has returned! They also brought back a group of strange birds.”
“Birds?”
On the main island, Kaido received news of Arceus’ return, but he was taken aback by what they brought back. When Kaido arrived at the harbor and saw the “birds” circling in the sky, his eyes lit up with interest.
“What are they?”
“They are Millennial Dragons. The treasure hunt led us to their habitat, and we have reached a cooperation. Millennial Dragons will live here and we will provide them a safe haven. The adult dragons among them will serve as partners for air cavalry.”
“Air cavalry, an air force? Worororo, it was indeed the right decision to work together with you!” After a brief moment of thought, Kaido began to laugh wildly. With the acquisition of these Millennial Dragons, it meant that the Beasts Pirates could now form their own air force unit.
There is no problem for even four or five people to ride on the backs of the adult Millennial Dragons. Although there are only a dozen adult Millennial Dragons, they are enough as a surprise attack force. Except for Golden Lion, no pirate crew currently has the ability to engage in large-scale aerial combat.
“By the way, I also found something good.”
“I already sensed it. The aura of the plate.”
“Tsk, boring. I forgot that you can sense the aura of your things.”
Initially, Kaido thought it could be a pleasant surprise, but then a problem arose. Arceus can sense its plates within a certain distance, which means that once the plate was brought back, it cannot be hidden from Arceus
The outcome did not change, but it still felt like something was missing. However, this was not a major problem, and the Beasts Pirates proceeded with their familiar banquet.
During this banquet, there was also a group of Millennial Dragons present. The pirates of the Beasts Pirates were very enthusiastic towards these dragons as Kaido had already expressed his plan to form an air cavalry. Flying is one of humans’ dreams.
Even if one could not fly themselves, riding something else to fly is still great. However, there are only a limited number of adult Millennial Dragons, and only a small number of elite troops can form the air cavalry.
At that time, compatibility with the Millennial Dragons would inevitably affect the selection of the air cavalry. So, smart people had already begun to build relationships with these Millennial Dragons.
But to reduce trouble, from now on, the code name for these Millennial Dragons would be Archeops, and all those who knew were required to keep their mouths shut and not talk about it outside.
Those who were picked by Shayna to board the ship were all members of the “Arceus Cult”, and their loyalty has been tested, so this requirement is not considered difficult.
Then, Arceus also took back its 5th plate, the Zap Plate. At that moment, thunderclaps resounded in the skies above the island, as the power of lightning returned to Arceus’ control.
Lightning was seen as a disaster from the heavens. Compared to fire, lightning was more like a natural disaster-like force.
Afterwards, there was the much-anticipated lottery segment. When a dart hit the blue “Jump” word, the commotion among the pirates below came to a halt.
“What ability do you think he obtained?”
“I don’t know. Babanuki’s Super Strength is so easy to decipher. Does this word mean it can make him jump high?”
“Who knows. Babanuki took three days to learn it. How long do you think he will take?”
“Two days.”
“Impossible, at least four days. He’s far worse than that kid Babanuki.”
A pirate opened a betting pool on this issue, wagering on how long it will take the lucky person to learn the skill.
In the end, he also took three days, tying with Babanuki’s record.
When he came out, just like Babanuki before him, he began to stuff himself with food. However, when other pirates asked him to demonstrate his ability, he didn’t seem as excited as Babanuki.
But under the urging of the crowd, he walked towards the seaside and then took a step and dashed towards the sea. Afterward, he jumped up on the sea surface, yes, he jumped up.
For him, the water surface was the same as land, becoming something he could use to gain momentum.
The skill represented by the blue Jump word is— Splash.
Splash is a bizarre skill that has no other forms of expression except for jumping, but when humans learn Splash, they gain some strange enhancements.
His leg strength had been enhanced, enabling him to jump higher and farther than his past self, and he had gained the ability to jump on the water’s surface.
Skill draw is all luck-based, there are no dirty tricks involved, so there was nothing to say when he drew this skill, except feeling a bit perplexed.
Does Splash have potential? The answer is yes. In this water-dominant world, being able to jump on water certainly enhances one’s agility, allowing them to move freely on the water’s surface.
While the amplification brought by the Super Strength skill is not as immediately apparent, it still has its own significance.
The group of people brainstormed on how Splash can be used, while Queen recruited a group of local residents to dry out bananas.
Tropius’ bananas have a longer shelf life, and even though the bananas he cultivated also inherited this trait, there is a limit. Ripe bananas can last for half a month without rotting, and if harvested and stored properly, they can be stored for about two months.
But this is already the limit. As far as bananas go, this amount of time is quite excessive, but compared to the speed of consumption, it still falls short. Now, Queen is turning the ripe bananas into freeze-dried banana chips to preserve them.
Meanwhile, he is also cultivating new banana seedlings. The fifth plate was ultimately obtained through trading the bananas that were grown from these seedlings. Despite having to give up a significant amount of his inventory, Arceus compensated him accordingly.
He also modified the seeds of other fruits and provided Queen with a batch of Sitrus Berries, Pecha Berries, and Mago Berries. However, these seeds only retained their flavor and did not possess their original effects, making them a neutered version of the original Berries.
The complete version of Berries were no longer just fruits, but rather something that can be cultivated as a strategic resource.
