The East China Sea has always had the title of the weakest sea, of course, people have mixed reviews for this title, although it is the weakest, but it is also the most peaceful and stable meaning, at least in the eyes of ordinary people.

After a long time in the days of peace and tranquility, the slightest thing happens that attracts everyone's attention.

Today, for example, the news that a merchant ship was attacked by pirates was like a bomb that set the entire town of Rogue on fire.

In fact, it is not uncommon for pirates to attack caravans in the East China Sea, even if there are no survivors, it will not be such a sensation, but it was the merchant ship of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce that was attacked, and it happened that the president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce was also on that ship, so the nature of this matter was immediately different.

Thassarian Sherlock, the son of an obscure merchant family, began to learn business from his father at the age of seven, and after the accidental death of his parents, at the age of fourteen, he took over the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, and in nine years developed the Chamber of Commerce from an obscure business to a behemoth that surprised countless people.

The business of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce is all over the East China Sea, involving a wide range of aspects, down to the ice cream held by the little girl in the neighbor's house, up to the jewelry worn by a nobleman, all of which are printed with the golden iris emblem of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, and even the navy, according to incomplete statistics, more than one-third of the warships serving in the naval branch in the East China Sea are produced by the shipyard of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce.

And according to the grapevine, the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce is secretly supporting the most powerful pirate group in the East China Sea - the Creek Pirates, the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce has not made any statement on this rumor, and the navy has been silent, this "acquiescence" attitude makes the average pirate turn around and run away when they see the merchant ship of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce. Sherlock can be described as a black and white crossing, looking at the entire East China Sea from the perspective of a businessman.

Of course, that's all a thing of the past.

Naval Division in Rogue Town.

"Maybe some people are born to be geniuses" Looking at the information in his hand, Smoker spit out a few smoke rings, Sherlock's "great achievements" in the past nine years, so that the white hunter who has never thought that hard work is more important than talent has to admit that this kind of speechless talent cannot be compensated for no matter how hard he tries.

The door to the office was opened, and a female navy with a quick knife pinned to her waist walked in, the girl had a beautiful figure, with short and neat hair, bright eyes with a pair of glasses, and a fair face that gave people a slightly natural feeling.

The girl gave Smoker a standard military salute.

"Colonel Smoker"

"Sassarian's uncle refused to let the navy help in the search and rescue, it's strange that their Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce is too indifferent about this matter" Even if she is a natural swordsman, but in some things a female swordsman still has the intuition that a good swordsman should have.

"Declined?" snuffed out the burnt cigarette butt and continued to light a cigarette "I'm afraid Sherlock was attacked, it's not that simple, it's really ......" Smok's face flashed with disgust. "Yes, Colonel, what's the order?" Handing the materials to Dusty, the White Hunter lowered his legs from the table and got up to pick up the ten hands on the shelf.

"Throw these materials away, their merchants' affairs, the navy will not be involved" Smok paused and continued, "I am really impatient to prepare to sail, and dare to attack merchant ships in the area under my jurisdiction" Spat out a smoke ring, looking at the conspicuous golden iris emblem on the humidor, Smok muttered "I hope I can smoke such a good cigar in the future" and pushed the door away.

"Yes, Colonel Smoker!" Dusty flipped through the information in his hand with some curiosity, and the first thing that caught his eye was a portrait.

The owner of the avatar has short black hair, fair skin, a pair of eyes like midnight stars revealing strong confidence and calmness, with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, giving people a sense of wisdom and elegance.

"This is Thassarian Sherlock?, he's wearing glasses that seem to be of the same brand as me......

Ignoring a natural female swordsman whose focus is obviously off track, the camera switches to the protagonist.

Screams, gunshots, flames, blood.

"Boom!" was the roar of artillery fire from the pirate ship opposite.

"President, run!" was the last word of his bodyguard, as he was then shot in the chest by a bullet flying from nowhere.

"Plop" splashed in all directions, followed by pitch black......

His closed eyes widened suddenly

"Ah, my ship was met with pirates, and then I jumped into the sea to escape, and ...... now"

The black-haired young man lying on the beach looked around with difficulty and smiled bitterly, but looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to have the panic that ordinary people should have when they were on an isolated island.

"I actually picked up a life" subconsciously pushed his glasses, and then the young man found that the bridge of his nose was empty, his face suddenly froze, he hurriedly looked around, and found that his glasses were half-buried in the nearby sand, the silver-white frames were intact, and the transparent lenses reflected the bright light in the sunlight.

It has to be said that it is a miracle that the glasses were not lost after such a great change.

Putting on his glasses, Sherlock let out a long breath and looked at the woods not far away, with only one thought in his mind, and that was "eating".

Fortunately, having learned how to discern whether an unknown fruit can be eaten, Sherlock, who has been in a coma for a long time, finally suppressed the hunger in his stomach after eating the seventh fruit of unknown variety but delicious.

After replenishing his energy, Sherlock pushed his glasses, looked at the endless sea, and fell into deep thought with the last fruit.

There was a hint of weirdness to the whole attack.

"This voyage is very hidden, and there are no more than ten people on the ship who know it, so there must be a ghost inside. ”

"The other party actually has an animal-based devil fruit ability, if it's a pirate, it can't be an unknown person. ”

"And no pirate would sink a merchant ship without saying a word, they at least want to blackmail, they want to rob, and those pirates are completely here to carry out murder!" "Sherlock's face flashed a hint of gloom, "and those pirates are inevitably too disciplined, uniformly equipped, well-trained, like, like ......"

"Navy-like!"

Sherlock's pupils contracted suddenly, and an obese figure flashed in his mind.

"Duncan!"

Kohler Duncan, the current leader of the Kohler Chamber of Commerce, a veteran chamber of commerce in the East China Sea, as one of the few opponents of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce in business, Sherlock knows this person very well. Judging by what he has done in the past, it is not impossible that he would have done such an attack.

And according to the grapevine, the Kohler Chamber of Commerce once purchased a Devil Fruit from the Great Voyage, which seems to be an animal.

"What a clever trick to catch a thief, maybe it attacked my ship, or I sold it to the navy," Sherlock muttered as he took a bite of the fruit in his hand.

"If you really did it, then it's no wonder that I dare to do it, then let's see whose hands are blacker, the ship I provided for Creek to enter the great voyage was not given for nothing. Sherlock rubbed his eyebrows and looked behind him. Under the sunlight, the lush woods reflect the dappled shadows of the trees, and you can't see the end at a glance, and you don't know what is in the woods, which is very mysterious.

"But now, it's time to see where I'm now. Pulling out a pocket watch from his clothes, the quality of which faithfully showed the present time, Sherlock then looked at the sun in the sky, confirmed the direction, made a mark on the beach, and began his adventure.

The island was too small for Sherlock to go deeper, so it took two hours to explore a small area and get a general idea of what was going on on the island.

"For the time being, there is no trace of anyone else surviving. ”

"There is a freshwater lake, there is plenty of food, fresh water, fish, fruits, turtles, rabbits, insects, etc., enough for me to survive"

"I don't know if there is a beast that can threaten me"

"Oh the way, there's a bonus"

Sherlock glanced at what was in front of him, it was a fruit with a strange pattern, shaped like a leather ball, and brightly colored. As long as you have a little common sense, you will know that this is the treasure of the sea, the curse of the devil, which has become the ultimate landlubber's passport - the devil fruit.

"Should I say that there will be a blessing if you don't die in a great calamity?" Sherlock pushed his glasses, reflecting a stunning light.

Although he hadn't seen the Devil Fruit Sign, Sherlock knew that what was in front of him was a superhuman Devil Fruit, but he didn't know what his specific abilities were.

Sherlock has bought a lot of things, but he has never really sold Devil Fruits, but he has heard that there have been auctions of Devil Fruits in the Great Voyage, and the prices are very high, even the weakest animal-based Devil Fruits can be sold for hundreds of millions of Baileys.

In the past, Sherlock might have first thought about how to sell this Devil Fruit for a good price, and how to maximize the benefits of this Devil Fruit, and eating this Devil Fruit that is not natural and has unknown abilities is a very low plan, but now, Sherlock understands that every time he improves his strength, he has a better chance of surviving in this unknown place.

Under the influence of his parents, Sherlock's dream since childhood was to become the richest businessman in the East China Sea and the world, and he has been working towards this goal. Thanks to his efforts, the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce grew bigger and bigger, and Sherlock's value soared like a rocket, and his reputation was unmatched for a while.

However, this attack made Sherlock aware of one fact.

He himself is not capable of guarding his wealth!

"Strength! If I was like that Smok, how could I end up in such a field!" Sherlock clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on the Devil Fruit in front of him.

Smock, arguably the strongest person Sherlock has ever seen, has almost wiped out the pirates in the waters around Rogue Town.

"Before I can become the richest person in the world, I want to be the strongest!"

"It's not a natural system like Smock, but now I don't have a choice. ”

Sherlock picked up the Devil Fruit, "Let you be the first step on my path to power!" and then he took a long mouth, and without hesitation, he took a ......

However, Sherlock seems to have ignored the legendary flavor of the Devil Fruit.

It took a while for Sherlock to come to his senses.

"It's so unpalatable~ It's a hellish taste. Sherlock looked at the rest of the peel and wiped his mouth with trepidation.

"So, what are my abilities?"

With his eyes closed, Sherlock felt the change in his body, and suddenly, as if from a throbbing of his soul, Sherlock opened his eyes, and his eyes under the lenses shone with a rare glint of excitement. As soon as he stretched out his hand, a circular plane appeared out of thin air above the palm of his hand, reflecting Chatott's somewhat stunned face.

"Mirror?" Sherlock blinked, it turned out that he was eating the mirror fruit that could create a zào mirror.

"It doesn't seem to be a powerful fruit," Sherlock subconsciously pushed his glasses into the mirror that appeared out of thin air in his hand, and then, he froze.

I saw that in the mirror, he didn't push his glasses at all, and the eyes under the lenses were staring straight at him, sharp and cold.
