Arceus's Pirate Journey

Because their shells and muscles are made of steel, protracted fighting may cause their bodies to dissolve, so most giant pincer mantises adhere to a quick-fighting style.

Because long-term fighting will cause their body temperature to rise sharply, but in the wild survival, giant pincer mantises cannot guarantee that they will never encounter this situation, so they have evolved wings for heat dissipation.

The giant pincer mantis seems to be flying, but in fact it relies on the explosive power of its legs to move at high speeds. However, because it jumps to a very high height and its wings dissipate heat from the body, others will have the illusion that it is flying.

"You can't fly..."

Flying is the dream of many people, and countless people will have wings to soar in the sky in their sleep. Even in the world of pirates, there are only a few people who can fly. Having wings but not being able to fly, there will still be a sense of loss.

"No, it can also fly, but the way of flying is very special."

The giant pincer mantis can rely on its wings to allow it to stay in the air for more time, and when the wind is strong enough and the height is sufficient, it can also glide, which is the same as the Thousand-faced Avoider.

"I will let Elizabeth teach you when I have time. If you are brave enough, you can ask Peggy Wan to teach you. He is also very good at gliding."

Due to the difference in flight methods, Peggywan also started by gliding. Although he has now mastered the principles of jet flight, he will never forget what he has learned.

"But now there's one more thing."

As she spoke, Shaina picked up the iron ring, and some flames rose from her palm, rekindling the fire ring.

"Iska, fire is not that scary. You have to overcome this fear. Come on, hold it."

Giant Pincer Mantis is weak to fire, but it depends on the level of fire. The temperature of the flames spewed by those Pokémon is much higher than the temperature of the flames under normal conditions. In other words, the physiques of Zhi Ye and Team Rocket can withstand lightning strikes and fire every day.

Ordinary flames are not a threat to the Giant Pincer Mantis. Now, even if Iska is in a fire again, she has the ability to rush out from it. She can completely extinguish ordinary flames before they can harm her.

"But...."

"A strong person needs a heart. Believe in the power of the Holy Beast. Your new body will not be injured so easily. Now you can control the shape of your hands little by little."

Some Pokémon themselves look no different from humans. There is usually not much difference between the animal form and the human-animal form of such Pokémon's ability users. The biggest difference is in the hands.

The arms of the Giant Pincer Mantis in its beast form are completely two pairs of giant pincers, but in the human-animal form, the pair of pincers become like fist gloves attached to the outside, revealing the hands attached to the insect armor.

Scars can be seen on the insect armor on one of her hands, which are the traces left by the original flames, and are also the source of her fear of flames.

Even with her new abilities, she still felt a sense of fear. After a long time, she mustered up the courage to stretch out her hand.

The hard and thick steel armor temporarily isolated the temperature of the flames, which also dissipated a lot of the fear in her heart.

"Very good, this is a good start. Don't rush into flying or anything like that. I will let Emmaline train you later."

Emmaline obtained the ability of the Orchid Mantis much earlier than Iskar. In addition, she was the giver of the Leaf Blade before, so she is very familiar with the body of the Mantis.

Although the giant claw mantis has evolved its sickle into a giant claw during evolution, they still have something in common.

In addition, since Emmaline and Iska are relatively familiar, it is very appropriate for her to be responsible for the early training.

....

But some time after Iska started his new training, the Origin came to a strange sea area.

After Arceus set off, the people on the ship headed south to the new island according to the pre-planned voyage. According to the records on the chart, the direction they were heading was the West Sea, but now they felt something was wrong.

At this time, several people in the control room looked at the situation outside the window and felt it was strange.

"How come there is such a huge sea fog in the West Sea? The concentration is almost as high as that of the New World."

"Who knows, I feel a little cold. Are we close to the South Pole?"

The Grand Line is similar to the equator in the pirate world. The West Sea and South China Sea below are the southern hemisphere here. They also feel this way because of the drop in temperature.

"It's impossible. We can't reach that position at our speed."

The navigators compared the charts carefully. Starting from crossing the windless zone, it was impossible to reach the Antarctic position based on their speed.

The navigator carefully compared the charts, and after a few hours, he stopped the ship.

"Why stop?"

The helmsman looked at him in confusion. Although the sea fog was very thick, the fog was not enough to stop them. It was nothing compared to the dangerous waters of the New World.

"According to the chart, we should have arrived at an island half an hour ago. From just now until now, I have not seen the light of any lighthouse. Although it is unlikely, we seem to be lost..."

"Are you kidding? We got lost in the West Sea???"

Several people in the operation room came closer. It was hard for them to believe this as they usually sailed in the New World.

"I don't believe it either, but look, even the record pointer and the eternity pointer are confused."

He raised the two hands on his wrist, whether they were the eternal hands returning to Wano or the special record hands sailing around the periphery of the New World, the four hands were now swinging wildly like pendulums.

Even if they don't know how to navigate, they can still tell that something is wrong with this sea area.

"How about... let's go find Lord Arceus."

Although Arceus is on the ship, he usually does not care about navigation matters. Unless there is a special crisis, he will not interfere with the voyage.

And this is why the people on the ship did not panic. Although the situation was unknown, they had Arceus on the ship. As long as Arceus was there, they were not worried about the crisis.

Ding bell…ding bell….

"You...did you hear anything?"

"Not only did I hear it, I also saw it..."

The navigator pointed out the window, and a tall ship appeared there. The height of the ship's side was even one section higher than that of the Origin, but there were a lot of seaweed hanging on the ship, and even holes could be seen. The bell sounded.

It's coming from above.

Through the glass of the cabin, you can also see a strange fluorescence.

"If I remember correctly...the style of this boat was eliminated decades ago..."

On the deck, some pirates who noticed something unusual were also watching, and the shipwright among them even came up with a slightly weird conclusion.

Coupled with the strange fluorescence and the holes in the hull, the term ghost ship appeared in their minds.
