Chapter 5 Isn't it a shark that says good?
Speaking of the world of One Piece, the most desirable and the first thing that jumps into people's minds must be the strange fruit with various mysterious powers, which is called the treasure of the sea, and does not know where it came from. It can turn an ordinary person's life upside down.
Devil Fruits.
This is the name that the people of this world have given to this fruit. Even if the name is in the desire for the demon, it is also a fear of its price.
Give you special powers, and then strip you of a skill that you are capable of. That's what Devil Fruits are capable of. If you swallow it, you will be insulated from the ocean, and you will become a landlubber who can't learn to swim no matter what, and no matter how much you flutter in the water, you can't float.
In this ocean-dominated world, this punishment, or curse, can be regarded as quite severe. But most of the people in this world who go to sea still flock to it.
The legend of the Devil Fruit may be a false legend for people living in the four seas.
It's like the Earth World. Like the Kraken, a sea monster like raiding merchant ships and pulling ships towards the deepest part of the abyss, there are legends about it. There are as many as gods, but no matter how true the sailors are, and how widely this legend has spread, people can only be suspicious of this legend.
After all, the North Sea is just the North Sea, not a great shipping route with a complex and changeable environment and a strange environment.
It is easy to see the difference between the bounties of the pirates in the four seas and the bounties of those pirates on the Great Voyage. With a bounty of more than 10 million Baileys, you can dominate the East China Sea, one of the four seas. But in the Great Voyage, it is not surprising that pirates with this bounty are not as many as the stars, but they are also everywhere.
The Devil Tree, which bears Devil Fruits, seems to have been produced in the deep sea somewhere in the Great Voyage.
In the One Piece manga, Devil Fruits don't seem to be unusual, and if you casually walk to a certain area, you can meet a person with a demonic ability who has taken a Devil Fruit. But it can only be said that it is the luck of those protagonists in it.
It's a matter of probability. If you want to be able to meet a Devil Fruit ability from time to time like the protagonists, I'm afraid you can only do it on the Great Voyage.
But obviously, Xiao Bai hit a lot of luck, as a unicorn shark who only dominated the North Sea and offered a bounty of 40 million Bailey, Marco is an animal-based Devil Fruit ability.
When he slashed at Xiao Bai with a serrated broadsword, he had already transformed, and his body, which was already tall and muscular, had swelled to a height of more than 3 meters after activating the Devil Fruit ability. And the appearance has completely become a monster.
It is a strange creature that resembles a human form, but is different from a human form. The body was covered with a bright red, uncomfortable fish scale, with a vague humanoid shape, and a head that was fish-like, with large, bulging eyeballs that never closed. On either side of the neck, there are constantly quivering gills, long hands and feet are webbed, and the dorsal ridge has a high barbed ridge. The unusually large pupils of the eyes were pale golden, overflowing with an indescribable anger.
"Haha, is the crow who killed the Iron Hook Judley your little monkey, it's so disappointing, one punch of mine is enough to blow a truck flying, a little imp like you, I can crush it with one finger...... Because Uncle Ben is the legendary Devil Fruit ability, the goldfish man of the fish fruit, Marco. ”
With an arrogant roar, Marco slightly bent his strong legs, which were full of red iron scales, and his powerful muscles swelled abnormally, and his whole body shot out like an arrow from a string. With just one jump, it exceeded twenty meters, and instantly appeared above Xiao Bai's head, and a serrated broadsword slashed over with the momentum of splitting Huashan
The sound of breaking the wind is whistling, and this knife weighs more than a thousand catties!
However, Xiao Bai didn't dodge or dodge, just stood there, as if he didn't see it, and let the goldfish man Marco's sawtooth broadsword attack, but when the knife was only less than ten centimeters away from his head, an index finger suddenly appeared and resisted the big knife.
Ma Ke tried his best, but he couldn't attack it anyway, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.
"Hey, hey, the big shark. Aren't you Marco the unicorn, just a little goldfish? Xiao Bai smiled disappointedly.
"Bastard, I think it's shark fruit, too. But against you, the power of the goldfish is enough. After saying that, Marco's arm holding the knife leaked, and an even more powerful force came from the serrated broadsword.
"Is that the power you're proud of?" Xiao Bai shook his head, his tone was full of playfulness, so let you see what real power is. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Bai's index finger pulled back, and Marco's body suddenly swooped forward irrepressibly, and at the same time, Xiao Bai turned sideways, drew an arc with his right foot in mid-air, and kicked Marco in the back heavily.
Just listening to the click, Marco's entire back sank, and then fell to the ground heavily, just listening to the sound, you can know that his vertebrae are broken and can no longer be broken, but the strong vitality of the animal ability makes him still alive.
"I'm curious if the animal-based Devil Fruit ability of the fish-man species can swim." Xiao Bai squatted down and grabbed Marco's right leg with his right hand. Before Marco could think about the meaning of Xiao Bai's words, he only felt that his body was grabbed suddenly, and the soles of his feet left the deck, and he was thrown into the sea by Xiao Bai under a miserable howl mixed with a flustered sense of weightlessness and panic.
"Damn, if I were a shark fruit, you would ...... that." Marco, who was thrown into the sea, had not yet uttered a cruel word, as if he had lost all his strength, and slowly sank into the sea.
"May I be a shark in the next life." This is the last consciousness of Marco, who longs for the goldfish fruit ability of sharks.
Looking at the unwilling Marco and sinking into the sea weakly, Xiao Bai got up, looked at the pirates who were standing at a loss because the captain was killed, and said with a smile: "Is this okay?" I don't know if Marco, who is a goldfish, can breathe in the water, but he doesn't seem to be able to beat me. ”
"So, according to the rules of the pirates, do you want to die or live?"
……
"Next, do what pirates should do, if you want to divide the treasures", Xiao Bai said to the crew who had not yet come to their senses, "Just follow in my footsteps, and you will one day have what you want." ”
"Long live Captain Xiao Bai!!!"
Xiao Bai leaned on the edge of the boat, looking at the slightly choppy sea.
"The world has begun to fluctuate, no one can hide from it, and the change of times is coming. Either way, as a pirate". An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Bai's mouth, "Isn't it interesting to constantly eliminate the weak, and then slowly form a situation where several strong people dominate one side." ”
