Originally, Arceus wanted those guys to open a passage to leave. This isn't the world of the living, and he's not interested in staying here. But they actually wanted to directly silence them. Since that's the case, don't blame him for resorting to violence.
In the end, although he left that place, those guys were afraid after seeing Arceus' power and chose to escape on their own initiative.
Starting with provocation and then attempting to flee upon realizing they're outmatched, that kind of thing doesn't fly with Arceus.
However, the underworld isn't just an ordinary island; it's everywhere and nowhere to be found. Finding the real entrance to the underworld isn't an easy task. So, he needs to create a special messenger to search for that place. He has plenty of time to play with them slowly.
The black sphere gradually expanded, eventually revealing a shadowy creature resembling a humanoid.
White hair covered most of the face, leaving only a pair of bright blue eyes exposed.
A red jagged tie was wrapped around his neck. Long black tatters hung from both shoulders.
Two pure black claws formed his arms. ominously dark yet unquestionably powerful. At this moment, he floated in the air, causing an inexplicable sense of unease among the surrounding pirates who laid eyes on him.
Dark-type Mythical Pokémon, Pitch-Black Pokémon - Darkrai, also known as the God of Nightmares.
"Darkrai, I abide by your will."
Darkrai's ethereal legs were constructed out of shadows into two black legs. He did this merely to assume a submissive posture to express his loyalty.
After eldest son Zeraora, second son Manaphy, and 3-7th son, five original Genesect, Darkrai ranks eighth within the Arceus family.
After all, there were quite a few Genesects created at the beginning, with a total of seven. Among them, GT-2 and Yamato's small Genesect are both female, while the remaining five are assumed to be male by default.
"Go, find the whereabouts of those guys and bring back their location."
"At your command."
Like a black hole distorting, Darkrai disappeared before everyone's eyes, following Arceus's request to find the location of the underworld.
Although there's Brook, who has been to the underworld in the Florian Triangle, he doesn't possess the ability for his soul to leave the body yet. Even if they find him, they won't be able to find the entrance to the underworld.
Relying on him at the moment is no better than relying on Perona's Hollow.
In a sense, the underworld is everywhere because it's a world belonging to the souls of the dead, yet, although it's everywhere, there is only one bidirectional exit.
That's not a place for the living to recklessly enter. Darkrai's power is special, but he's a living Pokémon, not a deceased spirit. To enter that place, it would need some time to explore.
After Darkrai's departure, the color of the Dread Plate dimmed considerably.
Darkrai isn't a Legendary Pokémon but is among the ranks of Mythical Pokémon. Moreover, there are many of them, so individual differences are quite apparent. This particular Darkrai bears a heavy responsibility and is relatively strong within its group as the Dread Plate had channeled a significant amount of energy to it.
"Navigator, where are we now?"
Shortly after, Arceus called over the previous Navigator. It's normal for him not to find the way in that environment, but if he still can't find it now, then the Genesis ship will have to change its crew.
By estimating the magnitude of Log Pose's shaking, he quickly determined the ship's exact location and then the ship continued sailing along the predetermined route.
After leaving the underworld kingdom, their position hadn't changed much. They were still in the sea area of West Blue, with only a slight alteration.
After re-charting their course, the Genesis continued its journey. Some on board were tending to frostbite caused by the chill of the underworld while also starting to artistically embellish Arceus' previous actions.
Even though they were all first hand witnesses, the description of the events became increasingly exaggerated, especially among those who experienced Misu's preaching activities and became more visibly devout.
They seemed to be jotting down something in a small notebook, all part of completing the Arceus Cult's scriptures.
Although the average education level of the pirates is not high, that is because there are a large number of small fries. Within the Beasts Pirates' ranks, the officers may not have outstanding education level, but they must have basic literacy skills which is a prerequisite for becoming a sub-leader.
Verbal orders are prone to distortion in transmission. Most of the time, orders conveyed to affiliated territories are in written form. If one cannot even understand the words, executing the missions outlined becomes impossible.
Using a somewhat inappropriate expression, even Yamato can now recognize all the characters except for uncommon words.
So, not only have these chroniclers embellished the events, but even their writing was quite beautiful. After being further embellished by Misu upon their return, this incident will become even more mystical.
Genesis still has a long way to go on its return journey. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Grand Line in North Blue, Rosinante continued to seek medical advice with Law. Due to the Beasts Fruits' news conference, the truth about Amber Lead Syndrome had been revealed.
At this point, Amber Lead Syndrome is no longer a terrifying contagious disease discussed by everyone. Instead, it's just ordinary Amber Lead Syndrome. It's no longer shunned by all hospitals, nor is it met with malice from doctors, especially since the Beasts Fruits' news conference made things crystal clear.
However, the medicine does indeed have a targeted effect on Amber Lead in vitro experiments, but this also led to another consequence.
Before this, Amber Lead Syndrome was considered an incurable disease. So, what the Beasts Pirates announced was seen by them as the only treatment option. No matter how many hospitals he visited, the treatment plans he received were all the same, recommending the use of medicines developed by Beasts Fruits.
As for his claim that it didn't work, those doctors just considered it individual variability. After all, with successful examples in front of them, they could accept that the medicine might not suit everyone.
However, Rosinante didn't give up. Since leaving the Donquixote family until now, some time has passed, and he has visited many hospitals in North Blue. But for him, there's still hope.
"Don't worry, Law. At least this medicine is beneficial for stabilizing your condition. There's still time, hold on a little longer. If worse comes to worst, there's still one last resort."
He's a spy directly under Sengoku, so the identity of the nun can be confirmed. Misu is indeed Misu herself, which means they must have some means internally.
If hospitals have no solution, he can try to approach Beasts Fruits or even the Beasts Pirates behind the scenes. However, Beasts Fruits is on the Red Line, and the Beasts Pirates are in the New World. With his current identity, achieving such a feat isn't easy.
