Chapter 6: The Seaside

It was night, and the full moon was high.

On the beach, feeling the oncoming sea breeze, looking at the stars and the bright moon overhead, Roland couldn't help but feel a little emotional, this is the first night he saw after coming to another world.

To be honest, it doesn't seem to be any different from on Earth.

At this time, Nami and the others were already asleep, and the villagers in the town were the same, after all, it was only a relatively backward town, and there was no nightlife here.

So, why does Roland lament life by the sea?

The reason is simple, because he discovers a cruel truth - slimes don't need to sleep!

Roland was not interested in getting through the long night without sleeping, so he left Nami's house.

But, as mentioned earlier, the villagers were also resting, and he couldn't find a place to play, so he walked to the beach before he knew it.

Although there was no one here, fortunately, the moonlight was bright, and the waves shimmered with silver light, which was uniquely beautiful, and the visual effects brought by the elemental perception were very different from the human eye, so Roland was not too boring.

After looking at it for a while, he finally came back to his senses, now is not the time to stand here in a daze!

Because he can't ask Nami and the others for the time being, he doesn't know exactly what time it is, so naturally he doesn't know when Aaron will appear.

But one thing he knows is that in this situation, which can change at any time, he must improve his strength as soon as possible.

After all, if they hadn't met Nami, they would have been fine, but since they did, how could they have watched Bermel be killed in front of their eyes? Especially now that I have a good opinion of them.

Having said that, it's only a slime anyway, and there aren't any powerful animals to hunt here, so it's a bit difficult to get stronger quickly.

Looking at this vast ocean, Roland suddenly had an idea, if there is still time before Ah Long's attack, he may be able to go to sea to try, there is no shortage of powerful creatures in One Piece!

But how are slimes going to sea?

You won't drown, but if you don't have hands or feet, you won't be able to move in the sea, and you won't seem to have much of an ending other than being eaten by a sea creature.

"That's not right! It doesn't seem like it can't be moved! "Roland suddenly realized something important, wasn't Rimuru able to move freely in the water?

"How did he do that?" Roland muttered in his mind, "It seems to prey on all the water into the body and then squirt it out violently, right?" ”

Thinking of this, Roland was a little excited, and hurriedly walked towards the sea water, of course, only at the very edge, in case he was swept into the waves, it would not be good.

After activating the predatory skill against the seawater, Roland could feel the surrounding seawater quickly converging into his body, and then strangely disappearing, being stored in a place similar to a stomach pouch.

Later, Roland tried to release the seawater from his body, and he had already learned how to remove the system that allowed him to figure it out on his own.

However, learning is one thing, mastering it is another.

Due to the sudden spewing out too much seawater, the impetus generated was very large, and the slime's body was quite light, Roland was directly knocked out by the recoil force, but fortunately it was sprayed towards the other side of the sea, and he just smashed it on the beach.

However, because of the [ineffective pain], he didn't feel anything when he fell hard.

On the contrary, it was the sudden sound of the system prompt that caught his attention:

"Acquire the additional skill [Hydro Propulsion]."

The excited Roland returned to the beach again, with the blessing of the system, it was different, as if he suddenly had more knowledge in his mind about how to master the water spray technique, he flashed on the water surface, and had a lot of fun.

After that, wait to play...... Tired from practice, Roland returned to the beach and began to think about other possible additional skills.

"If you can spray water, you might as well try a skill like a water spray gun, right?" Roland thought so.

After all, if his water gun can reach the same strength as Jinping's fish-man karate, then Aaron's kind of goods can be killed in one hit.

However, this time, things were not as simple as he imagined.

Although he can control the size of the spout and the amount of water it sprays, the water sprayed in this way is exactly the same as a toy water gun, and there is no aggression at all.

He tried to turn the spout wider, squirting more water out in one go.

This time the effect is a little better, and a small hole is made in the beach, which looks like it is still presentable, but in fact it is not very powerful.

After that, he constantly adjusted the size of the vent and the amount of water, and the power was sometimes large and sometimes small.

It's a pity that in the end, it was not recognized by the system, and it did not obtain additional skills.

Moreover, Roland also understands that even if it is the best time, that kind of strength is at most used to bully children, and it is too funny to fight against the enemy, especially in this One Piece world with explosive combat effectiveness.

It was really a little tired from practice, so Roland rested on the beach, and then, accidentally, he was swept into the waves......

However, with the ability to move in the water, he did not panic and leisurely felt the feeling of being wrapped in the sea.

To be honest, if you think about falling into the water in a relaxed mood, it's more like taking a bath, and it's quite comfortable.

Because he had always turned on the skill of elemental perception, Roland could sense that around him, there were many small fish swimming by.

However, Roland had no intention of preying on them, and if he had just started, he might have thought of mimicking into a small fish to move through the water, but now, now that he knew that his body could move freely in the water, he completely dispelled this idea.

After all, it's normal for big fish to eat small fish, especially in this One Piece world, where I don't know how many huge sea kings are inhabiting nearby.

If you mimic yourself as a small fish, the probability of being eaten is not small, it is better to be a slime honestly, and if you don't look closely, you will treat yourself as water, and the probability of being eaten should be much smaller.

Then, on a whim, Roland deliberately slowly spewed out a stream of water in a certain direction of his body, and sure enough, the body successfully moved in the water, although the speed of this movement was slower, but it was much easier to control than the pressure propulsion, and it could move more freely.

And the system also sounded very cooperatively:

"Acquire the additional skill [Water Movement]."

In this way, Roland is more sure of his journey to the sea, usually using the current to move forward, and when encountering an emergency, he will use the water pressure to accelerate the escape, and he doesn't have to breathe, perfect!
