Alpaca! Alpaca!
Rope is in a panic...
No, how the hell did he get involved in this?
Come to think of it, I think it's because Rotom found some new Poison-type Pokémon, and then he came over here on his ass to see which one of the gods he hadn't touched yet.
Wait... I damn well know that the ones I haven't collected are Great Gods, so why am I bothering with them?
The clown is even myself...
I don't care, Rotom, the blame is yours.
Rotom: ????
Of course, now was definitely not the time to dump the pot, what really needed to be addressed now... was how he, Rope, was going to get out of this.
Grandma's leg, he could see the alpaca's head!
That's right, the alpaca, or Arceus, guy was sleeping in this cave.
He turned his head and gave Ice a questioning look.
[Aren't you guys here to find Plate? What? Is your Plate going to be hard gleaned from the Arceus side?]
Ice was also confused. Although she hadn't really seen Arceus, she had sworn to serve Arceus when she took the oath of initiation, so at least the statue had been seen.
But didn't their boss say that Arceus was sleeping and Plate was scattered all over the place?
What was this living, breathing thing that was coming towards her?
[I don't know either!]
Rope saw her confused and desperate eyes. For a moment, she didn't know what to say, so she just kept quiet.
However, Rope now felt more and more that this world wasn't generally dangerous.
It was different from the worlds he had read in novels, anime, and games...
The original world didn't have this kind of organization that went around collecting Plate.
And in this world, after the disappearance of various villainous organizations, there were really all sorts of organizations popping up.
But... Alpaca, as a creator god, you need to be a little more aggressive, okay? Have you ever seen anyone's God of Creation who can't help but run away after 60 or so chapters?
And Arceus in front of him clearly had no intention of answering his question. Nor did he feel that he had come out too early to lose his sense of propriety.
He just walked forward silently. Every step he took sounded like a death knell.
For the first time, Rope felt that death was so close to him. He craved power to guard others, and he almost never thought he was in danger.
After coming to this world he could understand how
When no one else can do effective harm to you no matter what. Your arrogance is not something you can control on your own.
Rope hasn't been hurt since he came to this world.
He spat to himself every time that he wasn't getting something wrong by playing Flame-Flame Fruit in the world of Pokémon. But in his heart, he was actually extremely satisfied with this Golden Finger.
After all, in Pokémon's world, he didn't even have the two natural enemies of the Devil Fruit and Haki.
It was a completely foreign invasive species!
Unfortunately he had a premonition that as long as this alpaca in front of him wanted to. He himself would have to be sanctioned.
There is no greater despair in life than to have life and death out of one's control.
Of course it's impossible to get Rope to give up his resistance. Will he be so terrified by the sight of Arceus that he won't be able to control himself?
Don't underestimate the people of Earth!
So...
"Honorable Arceus, God of Creation, may I ask why you are here?"
Rope righted himself and his coat, the corners of his mouth lifting into an elegant, unassuming smile.
Did you expect a straight up fight?
Reckless!
Dr. Strange even knew the really smart thing to do would be to come in with a, "Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate!"
Do you expect Rope, the guy who doesn't care, to just go right up to Reckless?Flamethrower and paste his face?
Is Rope the kind of guy who doesn't negotiate? He should at least wait until the other party has the intention to attack...
Why don't you wait for the other guy to make the first move?
Then Rope would be lost...
Arceus didn't reply, and continued to walk forward at his own pace, unhurriedly.
But as he approached, Rope also realized that something was wrong...
This Arceus... was in the form of Toxic Plate...
It didn't make sense. how could Arceus, a guy who hated to lend out all the Plate in his body, maintain a form other than Normal Type.
Moreover, Rope felt that he should fully trust these villainous organizations that did bad things. Arceus might really be sleeping, and the alpaca in front of him... odds were that it was a fake alpaca, or an alpaca's doppelgänger.
Because this guy doesn't look like a very smart clone...
After taking a few more steps, Arceus stopped, only three to five meters away, Arceus's abyss-like aura almost pressed Ice out of breath.
But she turned her head to look at Rope and found that Rope still had an unchanged face.
Arceus towered over Rope.
"Human, you are not of this realm, why are you here? Who sent you?"
Rope thought to himself that was a good question he also wanted to know what the hell that unscrupulous game manufacturer was doing.
"...It was just chance."
That was all Rope could say, what else would he expect? That I played the game and walked through it? That I passed through the One Piece world as a stopover?
That I took you in with an Ultra Ball in my original world?
If you talk like that... you'll be killed...
That's why it's better to talk a lot than to be wrong.
People who can control their mouths are usually not very bad.
Rope smiled and kept his mouth shut. It was rather a case of don't ask, ask again and kill yourself.
Arceus likewise remained silent, and a standoff seemed to begin between the two sides in the midst of speechlessness.
The scene collapsed in a way that broke Ice's three senses.
The great god that their organization had tried everything to awaken was now conversing with another person in an almost equal position.
Sure enough, the gap between man and man was greater than the gap between man and dog...
On their side, they were still thinking about how to serve this great god, but the key was that he wasn't necessarily happy to want their service. As a result, Rope's side dared to confront Arceus.
Who could stand up to that?
Is it too late to defect to the League?
I don't think there's any future in the organization!
Then she fainted, and Arceus withdrew his gaze from her.
"At least tell me where you're coming from, outsider."
Arceus asked again.
Rope looked up unassumingly and replied.
"I have no purpose, and I wouldn't want to come if I could."
"Right now I just want to enjoy my life and be a good trainer. I have no interest in destroying this beautiful world."
Rope's face was firm.
"I've given up on the idea of returning to my hometown, and the current me doesn't want to become an otherworldly traveler. Here, this is my home."
