Chapter 311: The Third Devil Fruit
Tuk tuk.
The black-haired mermaiden did not notice these glances, she jumped down from Megalo's back, carefully knocked on the door of the nearest low house, and asked softly:
"Uncle Aladdin, are you in there?"
There was a sudden sound of footsteps inside, the wooden door was opened, and a middle-aged mermaid who looked like a lamp god appeared at the door, and after seeing the black-haired mermaid girl, she touched it and smiled slightly: "It turned out to be cabbage, is there anything wrong with coming to me?" ”
"That's right, Uncle Aladdin."
The black-haired mermaid girl hurriedly pointed to Xia Nuo and Da Bai next to her, and gave a general account of her experience on the coast just now, and then said expectantly: "Can you help me see what the situation of this little shark is?" ”
And Xia Nuo, who had not opened his mouth all this time, swept his eyes over the sun-like stamped marks on the other party's abdomen, and was slightly surprised in his heart.
This mermaid called Aladdin he naturally knows, the former ship doctor of the Sun Pirates, left the Sun Pirates after the death of Fisher Tiger and returned to Fish-Man Island to live a secluded life, his whereabouts were unknown for many years, until the fall of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fish-Man Island lost its shelter and was in danger, he rejoined the Sun Pirates and became the deputy captain.
Later, he also went to BIGMOM's tea party with Jinpei and asked to be separated from his command, as the original comic party, Xia Nuo's only impression of this person came from this.
"Yes, but it can be ......"
After listening to the black-haired mermaid girl's request, Aladdin nodded in a deep voice, he looked at Dabai, and then his eyes fell on Xia Nuo, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, you are the new king of the Seven Martial Seas, the Wind Sword Hao Xia Nuo?" ”
"Yes." Xia Nuo didn't expect to be recognized by the other party at a glance, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You recognize me?" ”
"The great swordsman who has been in the limelight lately, the ruthless character who can kill Doflamingo, how many of the current pirates haven't heard of you?"
Aladdin smiled nonchalantly and said in a relaxed tone, "Of course, other than that, I was able to recognize you so quickly because you, among us old men of the Sun Pirates, have been famous for a long time. ”
"Is it because I killed Aaron?" Xia Nuo immediately thought of the key reason, and frowned slightly, "That's why he came to the door first, you won't hold a grudge against me because of this, right?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."
Aladdin smiled and waved his hand, "Although we used to be partners on the same ship, but that was only for the past, besides, we have different ideas from each other, and the relationship has always been very bad, I have heard what he did after he went to the East China Sea, so don't say that you are fighting back, even if you take the initiative to clean him up, I will only think that this is a good thing." ”
I really took the initiative, Xia Nuo complained silently in his heart, he didn't speak, and heard Aladdin say in a deep voice: "The reason why I mention this is just to remind you that the rest of the Sun Pirates are not necessarily my idea, there are many people who miss the old, if you are still in the first half of the great voyage, forget it, now that you have come to Fish-Man Island, it is estimated that some people are already eyeing you." ”
"You mean that if we stay on Fish-Man Island, we may be retaliated?" Kidd next to him sneered, pointed at Xia Nuo and said, "Don't tease uncle, it's not that I look down on you Fish-Man Island, but I really don't think anyone in this place can beat this monster." ”
"Kidd."
Xia No's glare, so frightened that Kidd immediately shrunk his neck and closed his mouth. Only then did he turn his head and say to Aladdin with a little apology: "Thank you for the reminder, this little ghost will not speak according to the occasion, please bear with me if there is any offense." ”
"It's okay, and what this red-haired guy said has some truth."
Aladdin shook his head, he was old, and he really didn't take Kidd's words to heart, but reminded two more words, "However, the thoughts of some crazy people are always incomprehensible to others, plus you are in the light, they are in the dark, if you are more careful, there is no harm in the end." ”
"Well, I'll be careful." Xia Nuo nodded thoughtfully.
When he heard the word "madman", he thought of Hoddy Jones, the fishman descendant who worshiped Aaron madly in Fish-Man Street.
This guy who later plotted to overthrow the rule of the Neptune royal family should still be a teenager now, and he can't pose any threat to himself, but this doesn't guarantee that there are no guys like this in the older generation of Sun Pirates, and if they really think about it, it will be a bit of a headache to take advantage of the time when the Wind is anchored.
"I've pretty much said what I need to say, so let's solve the problem at hand first."
Seeing that Xia Nuo didn't take his words as a deaf ear, Aladdin touched his beard and smiled very gratifyingly, and then he turned around and came to Dabai's side, squatted down and put his ears close, closed his eyes slightly, and his lips moved silently.
This should be the ability to communicate with sea creatures mentioned by the black-haired mermaid girl, and Xia Nuo and the others glanced at each other, but they didn't make a sound, just stood quietly in place and waited.
After a moment, Aladdin stood up, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be a little puzzled. Facing the eyes of everyone, he said two words in a deep voice: "Sea water." ”
"What?" No one understood what he meant.
"Your fellow shark, it's the water itself that is afraid." Aladdin repeated it, then turned his gaze to Xano, and pondered, "This situation is very rare, and I can only think of one possibility of inducing this symptom for the time being. ”
"Fear of the sea?"
Speaking of which, Xia Nuo also thought of the only possibility, and suddenly said with some disbelief: "What does Your Excellency mean...... Big White It Swallowed Devil Fruits? ”
"Yes, now that's the most reliable guess." Aladdin turned his head to look at Da Bai, and his expression was a little subtle, "Speaking of which, although I have seen the existence of the Devil Fruit ability in our mermaid clan before, this is really the first ......time I have seen a pure fish swallow a Devil Fruit."
"Who isn't the first time......
Xia Nuo couldn't cry or laugh a little, he looked at Dabai on the ground, remembered the situation when this thing was desperately jumping from the sea to the shore before, and felt that this guess was already eight or nine.
Normal humans eat devil fruits, will become absolute landlubbers, not to mention swimming, even if they soak in the sea, they will be soft and weak, while the fish-people are slightly better, they have gills, but they can't swim freely and use the ability, but they can still breathe under the sea, the drought Jack of the Hundred Beast Pirates was hit by the elephant and sank to the bottom of the sea and survived, which is a typical example.
And what will happen to the pure fish after eating the fruit, it is estimated that no one really knows - maybe this kind of thing has happened before, but after all, it is a very accidental situation, there is no witness from others, Dabai is the only case since ancient times, and from the results, it seems that this thing can still swim in the sea, but from the instinct of the creature, there are psychological characteristics of fear of the sea, and they are extremely resistant to entering the water.
After figuring out this, the hearts that everyone had been hanging on before finally let go. Although the trouble has not been solved, the reason has been figured out, and it has inexplicably brought a bit of a joke characteristic, which makes it far less suspicious and worrying than before.
Xia Nuo reached out and patted Da Bai's head gently, looking a little strange.
Well...... Although this thing looks very embarrassing and miserable now, but as a shark, in the end, it will be afraid of the sea, which really makes people want to laugh, if the problem is not completely solved, will the future world be blessed to see a dry land white shark?
It's just that where did this guy get the Devil Fruit......
The sea is so big, even if a Devil Fruit falls into the sea, can it still fall into the mouth of this thing?
