Since both their shells and muscles are made of steel, prolonged battles may result in their bodies dissolving, so most Scizor adhere to a strategy of quick and decisive battles.
Prolonged fighting causes their body temperature to rise sharply, and Scizor cannot guarantee that they will never encounter such a situation in the wild, so they evolved their wings for heat dissipation.
Scizor appears to be flying, but it actually relies on the explosive power of its legs to move at high speeds. However, because the jumping height is too high, and the wings are dissipating heat for the body, it gives others the illusion that it is flying.
“It can’t fly?”
Flying is a dream for many people. Countless people would dream of having wings to soar through the sky. Even in the one piece world, those who can fly are only a few. Having wings but not being able to fly, it brought her a sense of loss.
“No, it can fly too, but the way it flies is special.”
Scizor can use its wings to give itself more time to stay in the air, and in conditions of sufficient wind and height, it can also glide, which is the same as Inteleon.
“If you have time, I’ll let Elizabeth teach you. If you’re brave enough, you can ask Page One to teach you too. He’s also very good at gliding.”
Due to the difference in flying methods, Page One also started from gliding. Although he has now mastered the principle of jet-propelled flight, what he has already learned will not be forgotten.
“There’s another thing.”
Saying this, Shayna picked up the iron ring, some flames rose from her palm, reigniting the fire ring.
“Isuka, fire isn’t that scary. You have to overcome this fear. Here, hold it.”
Scizor is weak to fire, but it depends on the intensity of the fire. The flames emitted by certain Pokémon are much hotter than normal flames, and only Ash and Team Rocket can withstand being struck by lightning and burned by fire every day.
Ordinary flames pose no threat to Scizor. Even now, Isuka has the ability to break out from within a site of fire if necessary and she can completely extinguish it before sustaining any damage from ordinary flames.
“But…”
“Strong people must be courageous. Believe in the power of the Lord Sacred Beast. Your new body is not so easily injured. Now, slowly control the shape of your hand.”
Some Pokémon themselves look no different from humans, so the Beast Form and Human-Beast form of Pokémon Ability Users typically don’t differ significantly, with the most noticeable distinction often being their hands.
In Scizor’s Beast Form, its arms consist entirely of two pairs of large pincers. However, in its Human-Beast form, those pincers instead resemble boxing gloves, with its hands exposed and covered by insect armor.
On one of her hands, scars could be seen on the insect armor, which are the traces left by the flames from before, and also the source of her fear of fire.
Even with a new ability, she still feels fear. After a long while, she drummed up the courage and reached out her hand.
The hard and thick steel armor temporarily isolated the temperature of the flames, and also dissipated much of her fear.
“Very good, this is a very good start. Don’t worry about flying for now, I’ll have Amalee train you later.”
Amalee obtained the ability of Lurantis much earlier than Isuka, and she was previously a Gifter with Leaf Blade ability, so she is very familiar with the mantis body.
Although Scizor evolved its scythes into large pincers, it still retains some similarities.
Also, considering Amalee and Isuka’s familiarity, it’s quite fitting for her to be in charge of the initial training.
After Isuka embarked on her new training for some time, the Genesis ship arrived in a peculiar sea area.
After Arceus set sail, the people on the ship followed the predetermined course southward towards a new island. According to the sea chart, their direction was set for the West Blue. However, they now felt that something was amiss.
In the control room at this moment, several people found the situation outside the window very strange.
“Why is there such thick sea fog in West Blue? This density is almost comparable to the New World.”
“Who knows, I feel a bit cold. Are we approaching the South Pole?”
Grand Line is similar to the equator in the one piece world. Below it, the West Blue and South Blue are considered the southern hemisphere here. Their feeling of strangeness stemmed from this decrease in temperature.
“It’s impossible. We couldn’t have reached the South Pole with our speed.”
The navigator carefully compared the sea charts. From the Calm Belt onwards, at their speed, it was impossible to reach the South Pole.
As the navigator carefully compared the sea charts, several hours later, he ordered the ship to be stopped.
“Why are we stopping?”
The helmsman looked at him puzzled. Although the sea fog was thick, it wasn’t thick enough to make them stop. Compared to the dangerous sea areas of the New World, this was nothing.
“According to the sea chart, we should have reached an island half an hour ago. From then till now, I haven’t seen the light of any lighthouse. Although it’s unlikely, it seems we’re lost.”
“Are you kidding me? We’re lost in West Blue??”
Several people in the control room gathered around. It was hard for them, who usually sailed in the New World, to believe such a thing.
“I don’t believe it either, but look, even the Log Pose and Eternal Pose are confused.”
He raised the two compasses on his wrist, both the Eternal Pose to return to Wano Country and the special Log Pose for sailing outside the New World. All four pointers were swinging randomly like pendulums.
Even if they didn’t understand navigation, they could tell that this sea area was abnormal.
“Should we…go look for Lord Arceus?”
Although Arceus was on the ship, he usually didn’t interfere with navigation unless there was a special crisis.
This was also the reason why the people on the ship didn’t panic. Although the situation was unclear, they had Arceus on board. As long as Arceus was here, they wouldn’t worry about any crises.
Ding! Ding!
“Did you… hear that?”
“I not only heard it, I also saw it.”
The navigator pointed outside the window, where a large ship had appeared. The height of its hull was even higher than that of the Genesis, but the ship was covered in seaweed, and even had holes in it. The bell sound was coming from above.
Through the glass of the cabin, a strange glow could be seen.
“If I remember correctly, this ship’s design was phased out decades ago.”
On the deck, some pirates who noticed the anomaly were also observing. Among them, the shipwright came to a somewhat strange conclusion.
With the addition of the strange glow and the holes on the ship’s hull, the term “ghost ship” appeared in their minds.
