Chapter 422: *Title Hidden*
The ocean is vast, no matter what world you are in. This is also true in the world of Pokémon.
Powerful Water-type Pokémon is not limited to just one.
Kyogre, the creator of the ocean, Lugia, who can control ocean currents, and the Pokémon Arceus was intending to create this time— Manaphy, the Prince of the Sea, capable of commanding marine creatures.
Manaphy doesn't need to create oceans or alter ocean currents. Although Sea Kings are not Pokémon and Manaphy cannot control them as freely as Poseidon, it can protect an area from Sea King's disturbance and even persuade the Sea Kings there to relocate.
This is also the difference in their authority; Kyogre excels at creating oceans, Lugia excels at controlling ocean currents, and in terms of living beings, it depends on Manaphy.
Splash Plate emerged from his body, and a drop of the purest water formed by the Splash Plate appeared in this world.
He continued to pour the energy of the plate, and the water droplet began to expand like an embryo.
As the volume gradually increased, the body formed by water droplets began to solidify. Two long antennae emerged from the top of the head, each ending in two adorable round balls. Deep blue pupils with yellow sclera appeared, and its lashes were formed of small yellow spots.
Two slender arms, longer than the body, extended, while the legs were short and stout, almost merging seamlessly with the body.
As a ruby-like object solidified at the chest, Manaphy's dual pupils also took on a new expression.
After arriving here, there have been many Pokémon created or modified. Pokémon have also produced many offspring. However, compared to those ordinary Pokémon, Mythical Pokémon born from the power of plates are the main event.
The eldest son Zeraora, the eldest daughter Diancie, and now the second son Manaphy—although in strict terms, Mythical Pokémon are genderless, but he has given them gender identity.
Adding up these distinct Pokémon, he could create an Arceus Family.
"My lord, it seems a bit cold here."
His body trembled, and Manaphy jumped onto the head of the Swampert beside him. Manaphy's body is 80% composed of water, so it is easily affected by the external environment.
Appearing as the second son, Manaphy also possesses the ability to communicate. At this moment, the Swampert beneath him showed no resistance, even when Manaphy touched the fin on its head.
This is Manaphy's ability—even without speaking, his innate power allows him to communicate with other Pokémon telepathically, and this is how he commands other Pokémon in the ocean.
"Close the windows; it's a bit chilly on autumn nights."
A Swampert walked over and raised its hand to close the window. It was already late autumn, and the cold air from Ringo was blowing towards Onigashima because of the wind direction. This was why it felt so cold.
"Tomorrow, go to a more distant sea area and see how your interaction with those Sea Kings goes."
Near Wano Country, due to the unique ocean currents, there are no Sea King's nests. They mostly live in deep-sea areas like the Calm Belt or Fishman Island.
The distribution of underwater mineral resources is irregular, possibly in the deep sea or in shallow areas. However, because of Fishman Island's location, the mining locations are definitely not too far from Fishman Island.
In such an environment, coming into contact with Sea Kings is inevitable.
Manaphy needs to test the effects, so he must find a real Sea King. The larger Sea Kings are even more intelligent than ordinary ones. If it works with the ordinary Sea Kings, there shouldn't be much of a problem with the larger ones.
The seawater at night is relatively cold. Although this chill wasn't anything to Manaphy, he has just been born after all. Moreover, Tesoro hasn't arrived on Onigashima yet, and even when he arrives, he needs to deal with matters related to Amber Lead first. So, Manaphy doesn't need to rush.
In this non-urgent situation, there is naturally no reason to make Manaphy work overtime at night.
However, at this moment, the room suddenly shook twice, as if there was an earthquake.
"My lord, this is—"
"It's okay; you'll get used to it. This kind of thing is quite common."
His office is on the highest level of Onigashima, and above it is the roof which is the training ground. The only explanation for this tremor is that Kaido has started another surprise attack.
Then suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and the window that had just been closed was hit open again. The quality of the window was evident, as the glass did not break even under this impact.
As the window was hit open, Yamato appeared with a sideways roll. Outside the window, a strand of spider silk seems to be fluttering in the wind, indicating that she descended using Maria's spider web.
"Yamato?"
"Dad, let me rest for a bit. I'm exhausted."
Saying that, she lay down on the ground, gasping for breath. This is the task Kaido gave her—to escape to a safe place under his attack. As long as one of them can reach a safe location, today's training will end.
With Kaido going easy and Maria's cooperation, she finally found an opportunity.
When facing Kaido, her Battle IQ is completely at peak. The moment Kaido made the demand, she immediately thought about where the so-called safe place would be.
Currently, there is no place on Onigashima that can stop Kaido. The only way to achieve the so-called safety is to make him hesitate. The underground armory of Onigashima, Arceus's office, Acier and other's laboratories—only these places will make Kaido hestitate.
The armory is too far, messing with the laboratories would make Arceus unhappy, so she chose Arceus' office. She bet that at this time, Arceus was working, and the reality proved her right.
After resting for quite a while, she stood up again.
"Dad, did you create a new Pokémon again? Hello, I'm Yamato."
"I'm Manaphy."
A Swampert approached Yamato, and the Manaphy on its head extended his arm.
"You can talk? Are you also a special Pokémon like Diancie? You can make rubies?"
Diancie, with diamonds on her body, can casually create diamonds. So, looking at the ruby droplet on Manaphy's chest, Yamato had this misconception.
"No, but I can do this."
A Yamato composed of water appeared in front of Yamato, mimicking her movements like a mirror image. The Power of Viridian met Manaphy's ability, causing them to quickly become familiar with each other.
Although he does not consider the other to be his exclusive companion like Diancie does, he still considers her as a close companion. Relying on the fact that they both have power to control water, they quickly became close.
Meanwhile, outside Onigashima, a small boat approached Wano Country under the cover of night. It caught up with the last supply ship, and Tesoro once again arrived in Wano Country.
