Chapter 4: Growth

The sunlight swaying down and casting on the tranquil seabed makes everything in front of you so clear.

Small fish weave through corals, shrimp hide beneath the mud and sand, and schools of jellyfish swim in front of you, and schools of fish swim slowly into the distance.

The scene here is beautiful, colorful and colorful.

In a place of mud and sand, a crab moves its arthropods and slowly moves sideways into the distance.

Call.

The crab had a premonition of something, and suddenly picked up its speed and crawled towards a rock in the distance.

In the distance of the crab, a dark shadow swam towards it, and as it got closer, it was a huge fish.

The fish was about a meter long, with a large head and huge pelvic fins, and was swimming towards this direction at a very fast speed.

Sensing the approach of the fish, the crab had no time to enter the gap under the stone, and suddenly its arthrops retracted, turned into a ball, and lay on the sand.

It does not dare to move, trying to make the other person ignore itself in this way.

But the next moment.

Click.

The huge fish rushed straight at it, opened its jaw, bit it down, and then swam it up, closing its teeth.

Several rows of sharp teeth bite down in unison, directly bite the crab's shell, and then swallow it into the stomach.

After eating the crab, the sea fish did not stop, but swam towards the distance and locked on to a large yellow croaker.

The other party is fleeing into the distance.

But at the speed of a sea fish, it simply has nowhere to run.

It's close.

The sea area approached the body of the yellow croaker, accelerated again, and instantly reached the side of the big yellow croaker.

Click.

The sea fish opened its bloody mouth, bit the middle of the large yellow croaker, and directly bit the body and swallowed it into the abdomen, leaving only the head and tail.

"I'm full now."

The big fish let out a bubble and slowly swam in the direction of the harbor.

This fish is summer and autumn.

After half a month of devouring evolution, Xia Qiu at this time was already more than a meter long, weighed more than fifty catties, and his body had changed a lot.

Originally, there was only one dorsal fin in summer and autumn, but now near the tail, another dorsal fin has grown, which is connected to the caudal fin.

In addition, Xia Qiu's teeth were also replaced twice, and each time the new teeth grew longer, thicker and sharper, and two rows of teeth also grew inside.

With a total of three rows of sharp teeth, with a huge bite force, even the carapace of a crab can be bitten.

It can be said that Xia and Autumn are already well-deserved hegemons in the sea near the islands.

In addition, the increase in food consumption in summer and autumn is also very huge, and now at least one pound of food is eaten at each meal, and the maximum amount of food eaten has even reached three catties.

A pound of food is eaten about once an hour in summer and autumn.

And if you eat three catties at a time, it will take at least three hours, or even more time to digest in summer and autumn.

Try to eat more at once in summer and autumn, so that you can get more time for action.

Xia and Autumn will devote this part of their time to exploring the information of this world.

The only way he can explore the world is to see and hear.

He was in the sea, where he saw a limited amount of sight, and most of the time, he listened to the conversations of the inhabitants of the island.

Conversation between fishermen on fishing boats and children playing on the beach.

Most of it is meaningless.

But a small amount of information made Xia Qiu sure that this world was indeed the One Piece world, and his position was the East China Sea.

This small island has been explored by summer and autumn, with the sea that appears in summer and autumn to the south, the harbor to the east, the craggy mountains and rocks and the vast ocean to the north, and a shoal to the west.

This small island is about four kilometers long from east to west and one kilometer from north to south, with an area of four square kilometers, which is not very large.

There is a village on the island, the name of the village is called Nar Village, and the population is not very large.

The village chief's name was Caledo, a chubby middle-aged man who had visited the harbor once and was respected by many fishermen.

The village makes a living from the salt industry, and there are many salt pans in the village, and only a few fishermen go out to sea to catch fish.

Whether it's salt or seafood, cargo ships come every day to buy and deliver supplies.

Other than that, apart from the occasional name on the fisherman's mouth, other information is hard to come by.

At the same time, Xia and Autumn also determined that the current time is indeed 1510 in the Haiyuan calendar, and the end of the year is approaching.

This year, Luffy and Usopp were seven years old, Sabo and Ace were ten years old, Sanji and Zoro were nine years old, and Nami was eight years old.

This year is the year when Luffy mistakenly ate the rubber fruit, and it is also the year when Shanks was cut off by the Sea King in order to save Luffy.

This year, Luffy vowed to become a pirate, was given a straw hat by Shanks, and after being known by Karp, he took him away from Windmill Village and took him to Kolpo Mountain, where he handed it over to the bandit leader Dadan, met Ace and Sabo, and became friends.

Half a year later, in this year (or before March of the following year), Sabo set sail and encountered the Draconians visiting the Kingdom of Goya, and was shelled, Sabo was rescued by the dragon and joined the revolutionary army.

This year, Tetsuo Redfoot led the Cook Pirates on the Great Voyage, and of course returned to the East China Sea a year later.

And this year is also the beginning of Xia Qiu's crossing into the world of One Piece and becoming a fish.

Xia Qiu knew that this year was very important, and Luffy swore to become a pirate, which indirectly affected the turbulent changes in the future.

But it has nothing to do with me.

What Xia Qiu cares about now is just to fill her stomach and live better.

。。。

Xia Qiu came to the direction of the harbor, but stuck to the bottom of the sea and swam away from the harbor.

The water is getting deeper and deeper, and the pressure can be felt in summer and autumn, but not in relation to the large body size.

Xia Qiu swam forward, and after a while, a shipwreck appeared in front of him.

It is a two-masted fishing boat, which is relatively large, about 12 meters long, and has a huge cabin.

At this time, the mast of the fishing boat was broken, the keel was broken, but it was not completely broken in two, and the cabin was broken, revealing a large hole.

Xia Qiu entered the cabin directly through the big hole, and the huge body was under tremendous pressure, and a small fish in it immediately woke up and swam in all directions from the gap in the cabin.

Xia Qiu didn't care about them, slowly lowered his figure, stuck to the mud and sand, and stayed there.

This is the shelter that Xia Qiu has found, although with its size, in the sea near the island, there are no enemies.

But Xia and Autumn still hope to find a place to rest, and when they are not foraging, they can rest here.

And in case of a powerful enemy, it can be used as a hiding place and shelter.

Summer and Autumn hide in the shadows under the inner walls of the cabin, slowly waiting for the food in the body to be consumed.

The heat flow flows in the body, and compared to Xuexin's current body size, the evolution of the body by the heat flow can no longer make it feel the pain of growth.

But it didn't take long for Xia Qiu to feel some itching on the surface of her body.

What's going on?

Xia Qiu was a little dazed, but the tingling sensation became more and more intense, making Xia Qiu unbearable.

What's going on?

(Note: Luffy got the fruit when he was seven years old, and then met Ace and Sabo, until Sabo left, he was still seven years old.)

The previous one was in the first round, Luffy ate the fruit, Shanks broke his arm, and was attacked, and then directly said that Luffy went to sea ten years later.

The latter one is in the memory chapter, after Sabo left, seven years passed Ace went to sea, and another three years passed, Luffy went to sea, or ten years.

Both things, both were when Luffy was seven years old, basically in the same year. Luffy had a birthday in May, but because Sabo's birthday was in March, the date of Sabo's departure was pushed back to March 1511 at most.

Someone commented on this chapter that it was thought that Luffy and Sabo had been together for a long time, but in fact it was less than a year, between half a year and ten months. )
