Chapter 1278: As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed
Call. Call.
The steel crow fluttered its wide wings and landed on the roof of Onishima, and when the red hair stepped out of the car, the steel crow immediately waved its wings and flew away.
For most steel-based PokΓ©mon, it's always right to stay away from the Giant Blacksmith.
Due to the rules of the island, the giant smiths here cannot attack the steel crows by playing baseball, but they still have a habit of plucking the feathers of geese, so that they can find an opportunity to feel uncomfortable without a few feathers.
"Mr. Kaido, you're back, it's a coincidence, if it's a little later, the Holy Beast-sama will be going out."
The roof of Onishima is a special apron from which all air force units will land, and Shayna has just finished handling some things from the sky island above, and she is right in front of Kaido when she comes down.
"Got that, redhead? You're lucky, if he goes out, I don't know when he'll come back. β
"Then my luck is really good, speaking of which, this unmasked appearance is really unaccustomed, and I almost didn't recognize it."
After no longer maintaining her transformation form, Shaina has changed a lot, including her clothing, after all, the human and animal form doesn't need too many clothes, and a simple practice uniform is enough, but now it's different.
If it weren't for her reputation, the redhead might not have recognized her.
"Lord Sacred Beast is still in the old place, two of you, please, I'm going to do something else."
After saying that, Shaina exerted her legs and showed how to take off vertically on the spot and fly into the distance.
"Lunarian Sure enough, she and that Ember are both orphans of that clan, so the Holy Beast in her mouth is the creature of the Lunarian Clan, right?"
"Aren't you quite sober-minded? That's good, so I don't have to explain anything nonsense to you. β
Kaido can bring redheads to this place, which is a kind of showdown.
The redhead can recognize Shaina, and Shaina naturally has no reason not to recognize this emperor of the sea, the reason why she didn't care about any secrets, and said these highly related words in front of him is also the reason.
The Lunarians had already shed their disguises, so naturally they didn't have to worry too much about other things.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said such a thing, with her iconic appearance and those words, but anyone who knows a little bit about history and has seen enough can guess the cause and effect behind it.
"White hair, brown skin, black wings, the characteristics of this clan are still too obvious."
The identities of Shaina and Ember have been doubted by more than one person, but they have never been hammered after all, and the clothes they use to cover their faces are not just a layer of camouflage, but also a fig leaf for relationships.
They all covered their faces, so it's not impossible for the world government to pretend not to know about this matter, the research that should be done has been done, and Shaina and Ember themselves are not easy to deal with, and they have something to do with the Hundred Beast Pirates behind them.
Initiating action on these two flexible targets is too costly.
After taking off their disguises, Shaina and Ember haven't carried out too shocking actions, and they haven't attracted much attention in today's big events.
But Shanks saw another meaning.
This means telling the World Government that if you have the ability, you can call and try it and see if anyone is afraid of you.
"Kaido, are you ready for war? A war that sweeps the seas, that's not a good thing. β
"Hmm, why isn't it a good thing?
Oh, by the way, you seem to be an order, a heretic. β
"Order. Kaido, you don't know me, I didn't go to Ralph Drew for personal reasons, so I don't know what Ralph Drew was on.
It's just that Captain Roger said he came too early, so."
"Stop, I'm not interested in that certain future, and I don't believe in any Joey Boy, don't tell me that name.
Ralph Drew is probably a strange place too, and that Ota must have gone there too, and that guy always said something almost strange. β
Kaido interrupted Shanks, and then gave a new explanation.
"Either way, if you want to achieve your goal, then participating in this big battle is the best option.
If you want to maintain order in the world government, then you should stand in opposition to Lao Tzu, and when the world government defeats the most powerful pirate alliance in the world, you can take this opportunity to declare your abilities to the world.
In this case, the sea is expected to be much calmer.
If you want to break this old order, then you should pull that group of Draconians down from the throne and let the flames of war decide the seat of the world again.
Of course, Lao Tzu will not lose. β
"You're really good at sophistry"
"Sophistry? This is a reason for you guys, and for me there is no reason for all this, only war determines status, and I like war, that's all.
Come with me, you didn't come here to talk to me anyway. β
If Kaido wants to participate in the debate competition, then his level of debate will not be low, but he doesn't like this way, and it makes no sense to spend too much time on things that can be solved with a stick.
Saying that, Kaido took the lead and walked towards the gate of the roof of Onishima, and in the distance of several thousand meters, Shanks also saw a lot of strange things.
On the huge vine, a giant crawled down the vine, carrying an oversized hoe in his hand.
The head and neck of the bird suddenly pulled out of the oversized cloud, and it flew to the empty island above with dozens of humans dressed as farmers on their backs, and the stone-like thing rolled in, and then poured a large amount of unknown liquid from the shell of the body into the wine jug.
Even he suspected that he was hallucinating, because he saw several walking flowers walking towards the edge of the ghost island out of thin air, and then jumped down like jumping off a building, but they did not fall, but entered another world in an instant.
At the end of the Haiyuan calendar, the pirates of the West Sea people were in business, and they followed Kaido and entered the untouched country.
Following the secret door on the roof, Shanks followed Kaido into the interior of Oni Island, and also saw a different scene.
From the outside, Ghost Island should be a very old building, but after entering, Shanks found that it was like a future kingdom, and even each corridor had a different country.
In the rooms of this small island, the peculiar landscapes of each island have been gathered.
As the doors under the control of Lothom opened, the two of them also came to a place with a slightly austere style.
Kaido had just pushed the door open when a blank piece of paper flew in front of him.
"The location of the venue and personnel, when the Nine Snakes settle down and organize a sorority, they can be regarded as officially joining, so that they can speed up their integration and deal with internal problems.
And this, here's the list of this charismatic ritual, mostly fur clans, and some special guys. β
"There's such a person, I almost forgot, you can just look at the arrangement of this kind of thing, anyway, it's your ability, compared to this, there is a guy who seems to want to talk to you."
Kaido casually put the list aside, not caring about the distribution of personnel below, but casually pointed to Shanks on the side.
"I'm not blind, I can still see such a big living person, so what happened to you again?"
"It's just that someone wants to talk to you, how do I know what this guy wants to say."
Kaido spread his hands out, indicating that he had no idea about it.
"Excuse me, this should be the second time we've met, so can I talk to you alone?"
Unlike Kaido, who goes out and fights all day, Shanks and Arceus have very little intersection, and the only time they have a formal conversation is when they are in the top war.
But that time, Shanks understood one thing, unlike Kaido, who was obsessed with war, this one was just watching with some purpose.
The intensity of the war doesn't seem to matter to him, he's just looking for something in the intervals, and he has the order he loves.
This order is far stronger than Kaido's war.
After all, he'd heard words like friendship and blind date, which were quite strange to come out of the mouth of a pirate leader.
The most outrageous problem is that Arceus and Kaido can find a balance, and it stands to reason that they shouldn't get along so well.
"Well, if you want to talk about it, you can talk about it yourself, it just so happens that I'm not interested in what you have to say, but you have to be careful."
Kaido's big hand patted the redhead's shoulder, and then walked out of here, allowing Kaido to simply be a guide, and Shanks could be regarded as a big face.
"Be careful, don't die here, that's going to be a nuisance."
Kaido is not threatening Shanks in his own right.
For the time being, he felt that the redhead looked quite pleasing to the eye, and even if the redhead said something strange in front of him, he wouldn't care, but Arceus was different, and if he provoked Arceus, the result was usually not very pleasant.
Don't touch Arceus's bottom line, he is indeed very tolerant, but when the bottom line is broken, Arceus is far more terrifying than Kaido.
"What do you want to say about coming here? For your adopted daughter's sake, I can give you some time. β
The benefits created by a top idol are terrifying, and under the fan effect and Tezzolo's operation, Uta is a living signboard that has brought huge benefits to Hundred Beasts and Fruits.
It was this benefit that made Arceus willing to give Shanks some time.
"I have two questions, and I hope to get answers from you, does this war have to be fought?"
"I have to fight."
"That's exactly what happened."
Shanks hypothesized that there were factions within the beasts, Arceus and Kaido represented the two poles, and no matter how you looked at it, Arceus was a soft faction.
But when the identity of the Lunarians is real, and the name of Shaina is recalled, then the answer is almost locked.
Shanks is well aware of the current situation of the Lunarians and why they are the way they are.
Shaina's attitude just now was very special, not to mention that there was no obedience or admiration for himself, even for Kaido, just some respect, but when the name Arceus was mentioned, that kind of loyalty could not be concealed.
Shanks was certain that the term Lunalia's sacred beast had never appeared in history, and that the only thing that could be traced was the holy relic.
If this is the case, it means that the creature was born in the recent past.
Regardless of how Arceus appeared, whether it was the transformation of the relics or the later arrival, it meant that he had a great relationship with the Lunalia people.
If he didn't care about the Lunaria, then the few people of the Lunaria would never have that attitude towards him.
From this point of view, the contradiction between them and the world government is absolutely irresolvable.
During the attack on Egghead, Shanks had lamented the death of Vegapunk, a genius scientist.
But now, he suddenly understood, understood why the beasts suddenly launched such a fierce attack on the scientific research institution of Egghead, and chose the least profitable way to deal with it.
"And the second question, what will happen when the war is over?"
"It's over, of course it's over, the endless war doesn't last forever, and when the dust settles, a new beginning will naturally be ushered in.
Your question doesn't make much sense, it's better that you're wasting the opportunity to ask a question. β
"I don't think so, we don't focus in the same direction, but I think this answer is enough."
Shanks didn't think the other party would lie about this kind of thing, and the world government would not let the pirates swell so indefinitely.
Although they allow pirates to exist and use pirates' plundering of the sea to divert conflicts between other countries and world governments, when a pirate swells to the point that they think there is a threat, they will inevitably erase it.
Locks is an example of this, and the existence of the Rocks Pirates was already an intolerable cancer back then.
The beasts are also in a similar situation, Kaido loves war, Arceus's position is impossible to negotiate peace with the world government, since the outbreak of war is inevitable, then the effective way to alleviate this matter is to speed up the progress of the war.
A short-term tug-of-war is different from a long, protracted war, and once it becomes a protracted war, then the war becomes a battle of endurance, depending on whose economy collapses first.
And in this process, it will be ordinary people who will suffer.
This is one of the reasons for Shanks's choice, it is not a bad thing that a new force will join in and bring this war to an end faster.
"Your question has been answered for you, so is there anything else you have to do?"
"Actually, I want to go and see the current Shogun of Wano Country, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"You're all here, of course there's no problem with this kind of thing, let that guy Kaido take you around, after all, you were brought in by him, if you have enough time, you can wait a day or two to attend the ceremony."
"It's an honor."
Shanks politely replied, at this time he did not realize what this so-called viewing meant.
And Arceus just wanted to show his wrist through the way of the charismatic ceremony.
"You seem to get the answers you want."
Even if there is no one to guide the way, Lotom can guide a person in the direction by opening the door, and with Lotom's cooperation, Shanks is finally led to Kaido.
Seeing that Shanks' face was much more relaxed, Kaido also guessed something, and planned to ask Arceus later.
He didn't want to think about things that could be answered by asking.
"It's okay, in a way, it's much better than the worst I predicted."
Blu Blu Blu
There was another phone bug ringing, and the phone bug on Shanks rang again.
The phone bug before was used by the five old stars to contact him, and outsiders didn't know the number at all, and in order to contact other people, Shanks also had other phone bugs on him.
After thinking about it for a while, Shanks didn't cut off the phone bug, but picked up the phone.
"Hey."
"Shanks, it's me, Beckman."
"Ah, I hear you, what's the matter?"
"Is it convenient for you to talk there?"
Shanks heard a hint of seriousness in Beckman's tone, then thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing to shy away from.
He's already decided to do it, so it's reasonable to be properly honest.
"Convenient, you say."
"Get the hell out of here! How long have you been sneaking out inexplicably?! Do you know how much trouble there are these days? Yes! β
The phone bug spits a lot of saliva from the corners of its mouth, which is the unique advantage of the phone bug, when you are angry, it can imitate your expressions in a colorful way, including the way the spit is flying.
The phone bug is also saliva, and can exert the same effect as a roaring letter on another level.
"Could you please explain to me why you secretly disappeared in the middle of the night to watch Uta's concert, and why is there news now that you are with Kaido?
Although you are the big boss and we have to listen to your orders, can you at least make people mentally prepared?! β
"Huh? How did you know the news? β
"Paid for it! This thing is about to spread all over the underground world, it was rare news two days ago, and now it is 500 Baileys a copy! β
"Hey, hey. What did you say? I don't have a good signal here and I can't hear it clearly, don't worry, I'll go back in two days, I'm sure you can hold on to these two days.
Oh, why did the microphone fall off?"
Shanks' passive costume starts again, and after slipping his hand and not holding the microphone, he accidentally drops it back onto the snail's shell.
"Seeing the smile, my co-captain is a little anxious, he may have been dumped by a woman, and he hasn't been in a good mood lately."
"Uh-huh, you're more interesting than I thought."
Kaido had just laughed out loud, wanting to complain about Shanks's men, but sometimes, the opportunity was so ingenious.
A crack opened in the space behind Kaido, and a mace swung out of it, smashing into the back of Kaido's head.
"Thundering gossip!"
It wasn't until he was hit in the head that Kaido heard the thunderous gossip shouts, and Yamato jumped out of the crack.
There is no need to shout loudly for a sneak attack, Wang Hassan-style assassination does not apply to all situations, so Yamato only shouted the name of the move after the hit.
"Hahahaha, I succeeded, and the work of these two days was completely in vain. Eh, how is there still a person here? β
Looking at a swollen lump on the back of Kaido's head, Yamato's face was full of pride.
In the past, Yamato took advantage of the power of unity, she went to help the Cracked Sky Seat wipe her back for a day, and successfully persuaded the other party to do her a favor, and then came to the Reverse World, and found Giratina with the help of the Cracked Sky Seat.
The next day, she did the same to Giratina, and with her perseverance, Giratina finally agreed to open a small door for her.
"Laughing, my daughter, a little inattentive to the occasion"
