Arceus' Pirate Journey

  Chapter 199 Yamato's Thought Lesson, Planning for the Sky Island

   Nearly 400 years ago, when Gaya Island was still intact, Shandora did not come to Sky Island.

  Vinbrand Rolando, a navigator in the North Sea at that time, came to Gaya Island unexpectedly to avoid the heavy rain, and saved the Sandia family from the "tree fever", making a great contribution to Gaya Island.

   He also forged a deep friendship with Calgara, the great warrior at that time.

   But because of cutting down the trees in the minds of the Sandians that harbor the souls of their ancestors, there was a conflict between them, and it was too late when Calgara knew that those trees were the truth of their illness.

  Rolando's ship has gone to sea.

  Calgara vowed to ring the golden bell every day and use the bell to guide Rolando.

  Sandians also cast special commemorative statues for Rolando.

   "Because of the ocean current, we came to the Sky Island, and those Sky Islanders also stole our land. After hundreds of years, we still haven't been able to grab our own land, and we haven't been able to ring the golden bell again."

The chief    is still telling the history of Shandia, but Yamato's thoughts are no longer here.

   "Rolando Rolando. I seem to have heard this name somewhere. Where is it from?"

   "It's a fairy tale from Beihai, the big liar Rolando. My mother used to read story books to us."

  Maria reminded Yamato that the well-known fairy tale Beast Pirates in the North Sea can naturally be found, and several of their children have heard similar stories.

   But it was different when the words reached the chief's ears.

   "Big liar? How could Rolando be a big liar?"

   And when he listened to Maria and Yamato telling the story of Qinghai in a few words, a burst of tears came out of his eyes.

   "Actually. Is this the case? Because our incompetence actually caused the benefactor to suffer such a big grievance."

   "Father, why don't we help them."

"Why do you do that?"

   "Because. Because I think they are so pitiful, they can't even keep their own home"

"Yawa, do you know? Hundreds of years have passed, and those Sky Islanders have also regarded it as their home. What we do is to take away their homeland for the current Sky Islanders, do you understand? ?"

  Yamato's brain capacity seems to have reached the upper limit because of this. She originally thought that the Sandia people were pitiful, but it became strange to say so.

   "Even for Wano Country, we are outsiders. Even if we can make that country live better, we still can't cover up this essence. People may not care because they can get benefits.

   But to those in power, we are the invaders, the conspirators, and the enemy. "

   "Father. I don't understand"

   "You will understand in the future, but now you must understand that this is a cruel world. Without power, everything is empty talk. Only the strong can help the weak according to their own preferences.

   You said before that you want to help us, and everything you want to do now requires strength, so Yamato, you have to learn to become stronger, understand? "

   He took this opportunity to educate Yamato. She is too naive now, and she may not be able to remember these words now, but this sign will gradually affect her.

  Before Kaido's training started, he had to make Yamato want to become stronger.

   "Understood, you have to become stronger."

   But in the end, Arceus decided to help the Shandians take back Apayado, but the reason was not as simple as Yamato, not because he thought they were good people.

   First of all, the Shandians did help him keep things for hundreds of years and kept their promises back then, and his coercion just now also caused a lot of influence, which is a little compensation.

On the other hand, it was because he took a fancy to the shellfish in the empty island. The shellfish here have various effects and are widely used in life and weapons. Through the shellfish, the Shandians of these tribal civilizations actually DIY their own products. handmade rocket launcher.

  These shells have high strategic value. On the one hand, helping the Shandians regain their territory, on the other hand, he intends to plant the banner of the beasts here.

The    flag is used to deter other foreign pirates. In essence, they will not interfere in the management of this place. Everything will be handed over to the Shandians to manage themselves. They only need to provide some shellfish every time.

  Like the affiliated islands recruited by other big pirates, many sovereign countries in the New World are like this, and they are also under the protection of other forces while they are autonomous.

   There are already two forces here, and he doesn't plan to send someone to manage this place directly, so choosing one of the two is a good result.

   For these reasons, he chose the Shandians, but when Mandelfish and the chief brought it up, the chief refused.

   "Why? Grandpa, we are helping you."

   "Little girl, this is our own business in Shandia, you are friends, we can't let friends bleed because of our business.

   Keeping that thing is the promise of our ancestors. Your wine, food and medicine are enough for us, so don’t worry about what happened yesterday, after all, it was a misunderstanding. "

   He had already decided to lead his clan to attack Appayado after the Beast Pirates left and regain his homeland, but he did not want outsiders to get involved.

   "You don't have to worry about the bloodshed. If the combat power of the Sky Islanders is this level, we will have no problem."

   At this time, a Sandian warrior came to the chief and said a few words, which changed his expression again.

   Because he said that at the end of the banquet yesterday, Shandia and the Beastmen had a friendly competition, and Mandelfish defeated all the warriors here with his bare hands.

   "So what do you get? Do you want Shandorah's gold?"

  Although Shandia didn't develop much, he didn't think that someone would fight for others for no reason. Gold was the most direct thing he could think of. If he could recapture Appayado, it wouldn't matter.

   "This is what Arceus-sama means, and it's a reward for keeping your promise for hundreds of years. We want shellfish, a specialty of the sky island, rather than gold.

   So every year after the recapture of Appajado, you have to collect shellfish for us, we can also bring you the necessities of life, and at the same time hang our flag at the entrance of the empty island. "

  Mandelfish offered his own terms, which were easy terms for the Shandians.

   "What's the point of flying the flag?"

   "It means that this place is under our protection. If there are people who come from Qinghai to make trouble, as long as you contact us, we will expel those enemies for you, but don't worry, we will not interfere in your own internal affairs."

   "So you want to occupy the entire sky island?"

  Mandfish was talking about flying the flag at the entrance to the sky island, and the chief noticed this too.

   "It can be said that Apayado is returned to you, the sky island is occupied by us, and you manage the sky island for us."

   "Chief, don't hesitate, this is the best chance to take back your homeland, have you forgotten, the benefactor has suffered grievances for hundreds of years in Qinghai!"

The   chief was still thinking, but the other main battle factions who heard the news couldn't bear it anymore and expressed their willingness to take back their hometown.

   Sky Islanders are a feud for most Shandians, and they naturally don't worry about Sky Islanders' fate.

  Under the instigation of the tribe, the patriarch finally accepted the conditions of the Beast Pirates, mobilized all the adult warriors in the tribe, and prepared to take back his homeland.
