Arceus's Pirate Journey

Nearly four hundred years ago, when Gaya Island was still complete, Shantara did not come to Sky Island.

At that time, Venbrandt Rolando, a navigator in the North Sea, unexpectedly came to Gaya Island to escape a heavy rain. He saved the Sandia clan who were attacked by "tree fever" and made great contributions to Gaya Island.

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

However, conflicts arose between them because of the cutting down of the trees that the Sandians believed contained the souls of their ancestors. By the time Calgara learned that those trees were the truth behind their illness, it was already too late.

Rolando's ship has already gone to sea.

Calgara made an oath to ring the golden bell every day and use the bell to guide Rolando.

The Sandians also cast a special commemorative statue for Rolando.

"Because of the sea currents, we came to the empty island, and the people from the empty island took away our land. Hundreds of years later, we still haven't been able to get our land back, and we still haven't been able to ring the golden bell again...

"

The chief was still telling the history of Sandia's people, but Yamato's thoughts were no longer here.

"Rolando... Rolando... I seem to have heard this name somewhere... Where does it come from..."

"It's a fairy tale from Beihai, Rolando the Great Liar. Mom used to read the storybook to us."

Maria reminded Yamato that the Beast Pirates, a well-known fairy tale 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 can Rolando be a big liar?"

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

"It's actually...is this actually the case? Because of our incompetence, our benefactor suffered such great injustice..."

...

"Father, how about we help them..."

"Why do you do this?"

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

"Yamato, do you know? Hundreds of years have passed, and those Sky Island people have also regarded it as their home. What we do is taking away their home for the current Sky Island people. Do you understand this?

?”

Yamato's brain capacity seemed to have reached its upper limit because of this. She originally felt that the Sandians were pitiful, but when she said this, it became strange again.

"Even for the country of Wano, we are outsiders. Even if we can make that country's life better, we still cannot hide this essence. The people may not care because they can get benefits.

But to those in power, we are invaders, seekers of the country, and enemies."

"Father...I don't understand..."

"You will understand in the future, but now you have to 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, but now everything you want to do requires strength, so Yamato, you must also learn to become stronger, do you understand?"

He took this opportunity to start educating 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 begins, he has to make Yamato himself have the idea of ​​becoming stronger.

"I understand, you have to become stronger."

But in the end, Arceus decided to help the Sandians regain Apayado, but the reason was not as simple as Yamato, and it wasn't because he thought they were good people.

First of all, the Sandians did help him keep his things for hundreds of years and kept their promise back then, and the pressure he just exerted also had a big impact, which was considered a bit of compensation.

On the other hand, it was because he fell in love with the shellfish on Sky Island. The shellfish here have various effects and are widely used in daily life and weapons. Through shellfish, the Sandians of these tribal civilizations actually made their own DIY products.

A handmade rocket launcher.

These shells have high strategic value. On the one hand, they will help the Sandians regain their territory. On the other hand, he plans to plant the flag of the beasts here.

The flag is used to deter other foreign pirates. Essentially, they will not interfere in the management of this place. Everything will be managed by the Sandians themselves. They only need to provide some shellfish every once in a while.

Like other affiliated islands recruited by big pirates, many sovereign countries in the New World are like this. While they are autonomous, they also receive protection from other forces.

There are two forces here, and he doesn't intend to directly send people to manage it, so choosing one of the two is the best result.

For these reasons, he chose the Sandians, but when Manderfish brought the matter up with the chief, the chief refused.

"Why? Grandpa, we are helping you."

"Little girl, this is our Shandia people's own business. You are friends. We cannot let our friends bleed because of our affairs.

Keeping that thing is a promise made by our ancestors, and your wine, food and medicine are enough for us, so don’t worry about what happened yesterday, it was just a misunderstanding after all.”

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

"You don't have to worry about bleeding. If the Skylanders have this level of combat power, we won't have any problems."

At this time, a Sandian warrior walked up to the chief and said a few words, which caused his expression to change again.

Because he said that at the end of yesterday's banquet, there was a friendly competition between Sandians and the people of Beasts, and Manderfesh defeated all the warriors here with his bare hands.

"What do you get from this? Do you want Shantora's gold?"

Although Sandia has not developed much, he doesn't think anyone will fight for others for no reason. Gold is the most direct thing he can think of. If Apayado can be taken back, gold does not matter.

"This is what Lord Arceus means. It is a reward for keeping your promise for hundreds of years. We want the shellfish that is a specialty of Sky Island more than gold.

So after retaking Apayado, you must collect shellfish for us every year, and we can also bring you daily necessities, and at the same time, we must fly our flag at the entrance to the empty island."

Manderfish made his own terms, which were very easy for the Sandians.

“What’s the point of flying the flag?”

"It means that this place is under our protection. If there are still people from Qinghai who are causing trouble, just contact us and 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?"

Manderfish was talking about hanging a flag at the entrance to Sky Island, and the chief also noticed this problem.

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

"Chief, don't hesitate. This is the best opportunity to regain your homeland. Have you forgotten that our benefactor has suffered injustice in Qinghai for hundreds of years?"

The chief was still thinking, but other warring factions who heard the news could no longer bear it and expressed their willingness to take back their hometowns.

The Sky Islanders are a feud for most Sandians, so they naturally won't worry about the fate of the Sky Islanders.

Under the instigation of the clan members, the clan leader finally accepted the terms of the Beast Pirates and mobilized all the adult warriors in the clan to prepare to take back his homeland...
