Chapter XXXIV The Welfare of the Old Crew
Half an hour later, the Navy warship gradually approached the island of Erou, and the sea fog perfectly concealed the unscrupulous warship.
The sergeant standing on the deck took out a high-focus lookout and looked into the distance, and then asked respectfully, "Colonel Mouse, there is the sail flag of the Bucky Pirates on that ship ahead, do we want to shoot at it?" ”
"Fire?" Colonel Rat squeaked and laughed, "The Bucky Pirates have been wandering in the East China Sea for so many years, and they must have collected a lot of treasure, why did we sink the loot that belongs to me?" It's not a good deal......"
"And in order not to alarm our prey, let's not go near this island yet, send thirty soldiers in disguise, and sneak into this island in small boats, and then we will attack after ascertaining the situation, I don't want us to return this voyage like fools."
"The Colonel is wise." The sergeant flattered him and immediately stepped into the cabin, ready to give orders to the leader of the soldiers.
Inside the cabin of the Navy.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from one of the soldiers' lounges.
Syllable!
The door of the lounge was quickly pushed open, and a somewhat decadent and godless Navy corporal frowned and said to a soldier with his head bowed: "Simon, hurry up, Lord Colonel has arranged an order for us!" ”
"I see, yesterday's hangover made my head a little uncomfortable, as if I still have a cold now......" Simon's voice was hoarse, sounding a little strange.
The corporal threw over a cloak, "Remember, don't talk nonsense about drinking, even if the colonel asks, the consequences of poking it out are very serious!" ”
"No, I don't want to let these brothers in our lounge be affected."
"It's good to know, quickly change into civilian clothes, put on a cloak, and assemble on the deck in five minutes." With that, the corporal closed the door.
"I'll be right there."
……
Under the orders of Colonel Mouse, three teams of ten men each, each in three small boats, paddled towards the deserted side of the island of Elu.
The soldiers on the ship were all wearing cloaks at this time, and except for the leader of the group, whose cloak was darker and easy to identify, the others could not recognize who was sitting opposite them if they didn't look closely.
"Hey, what's going on with that package behind you?"
"It's a potato...... Well, I was afraid that I would be suspected by the time, so I prepared first, and then I said that I was a businessman who was killed nearby. ”
Several of the soldiers on the ship, though they were a little surprised by the behavior of one of the soldiers, took a cursory look at the package he had opened, and the layer covering the surface was indeed a mud-stained potato, and they did not delve into it, there was more important business to be done in front of them.
……
Gravity Island at the moment.
Three months ago, Bucky had reached a block of about five times gravity, which was only twice as different from a block of four times gravity, but it gave people a completely different feeling.
The entire internal circulatory system of the body has reached a point of instability, and if you continue to move forward and live in this environment for a long time, I am afraid that it will cause irreparable damage to the body.
In addition to him, there are also Xiuma who are also cultivating in the five-gravity block, while Kabaji and Mochi are stopped at the three-to-four-gravity block.
In the past three months, he began to devote himself to cultivating the Devil Fruit ability and penetrating Life Return, and in this high-pressure environment, his physical potential was also stimulated.
The return of life itself is based on the six forms of the navy, and only powerful superhumans can learn the mysteries in it, but the so-called superman is based on ordinary people, and for Bucky, who is now practicing on Gravity Island, his cultivation in this area has reached the level where he has finally reached the point of entry.
When you close your eyes, countless dense cracks appear in your body, and in the blink of an eye, your whole body turns into particles like sand, and at first glance it looks like you have disappeared into this space.
After about twenty seconds, all the sandy particles reunited into a human body.
Bucky sweated profusely on his face, feeling the strange state he had just had, and said to himself, "Split your body into thousands of grains of sand...... It doesn't seem to be on par with elementalization...... The physical strength consumed is also very large, and it has almost drained my physical strength in just a short period of time, but it seems that the degree of division is much deeper than before......"
Through the two-way cultivation of fruit ability and life return, he gradually spied some secrets of the ability to split, when the body is divided, it is a soul-like existence that connects various parts of the body in the invisible void, and once a part of the body is beyond the scope of the "soul thread", the existence of that part will not be perceived, just like the situation when Bucky's body part is knocked away in the original book.
As for how to awaken the fruit ability, he didn't have a clue yet, but with his cultivation, he found that the control of his feet had become more imperceptibly easier, and his feet could move and run unscrupulously when his body was divided.
If you compare it to Bucky, who was at the same time in the original book, he doesn't know how much stronger.
"Bucky, the ship is back." Xiuma stood at a height of ten meters in the moon and said towards Bucky.
Although he has the advantage of standing in the air, it has to be said that as a sniper, this kid's naked eye vision is simply exaggerated, and you can still see the pirate ship floating on the sea through the small half of the island.
"I see...... I'm going to have a banquet today, and I've been here for sixteen months, it's time to relax. ”
Bucky wrapped up his coat to hide the sturdy muscles he had cultivated over a year, and walked barefoot out, calling on two of them, Kabaji and Mochi, who had become much stronger by penance, along the way.
Kabaji followed Bucky and asked, "Captain Bucky...... Why do you let the pirates do that? ”
He's the only one in the Bucky Pirates who thinks things with his head, but after thinking about it, he still doesn't know why Captain Bucky made his pirates so unlike pirates, and allowed them to leave the pirates.
Bucky calmly replied, "They have been with me for many years, just like you, and they have been worn out by the sea, and their dreams have been crushed by the years, and they will also want to return to the ordinary land. I remember that I gave you a choice, and I will give them a choice, but they chose to leave the sea. ”
"But ......," Kabaji hesitated to say, "They have also consumed the wealth that we have accumulated on our ship for many years......"
"There's no way around it...... Bucky smiled and lowered his voice, "they've worked hard for me for so many years, and it's okay to get some retirement funds when they retire, just let them spend the rest of their lives here, and they won't lose their lives when they reach the Great Voyage...... I'm not cold-blooded to this point. ”
