When Ray woke up, there were many memories in his head that didn't belong to him, and these memories quickly merged with his memories, and the blankness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a wisdom that did not match his appearance.
Ray stood up with his hands on his feet, shook his drowsy head, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he seemed to be lying on jelly, wet and slippery to the touch, "Where is this?" Ray spat out a few mouthfuls of salty seawater, and carefully recalled, as if he had been thrown from the ship by pirates, and eaten by a large monster in the sea.
As soon as he remembered the reason for his appearance, Ray recalled his mother's blood-stained face, "Mom! "Even with a mature memory, the pain of losing a mother is not something a three-year-old can bear, and in the belly of a big dark monster, the cry rings intermittently.
I don't know how long it took, the wail of his stomach interrupted Ray's longing for his mother, and the sobbing gradually stopped, and Ray suddenly found that he could 'see' his surroundings even when he couldn't see with his eyes, but he didn't know that it was a fragment of the soul from an earthling, which made his perception more sensitive, and developed an extremely faint sense of seeing and hearing domineering, and at this time, the feeling of an empty stomach drove him to look for something to eat.
Along the esophagus of the big monster, Ray explored little by little, strange plants grew on the esophagus of the corridor-like corridor in the 'field of vision', and there was still seawater in the depression of the 'ground', and from time to time a pungent liquid dripped from above, and it would make a clattering sound when it fell into the seawater.
After walking for a long time, Ray found that he hadn't walked far (in fact, it was only a few dozen meters), and he couldn't find anything to eat, so he sat down against a plant in despair.
Ray rested for a while, and suddenly it occurred to him that even if he could 'see' the surroundings and the shape of things, he could not directly see whether he could eat it or not, and he could not judge without directly smelling and touching it.
Thinking of this, Ray had another motivation and began to look for what looked like food around him.
"Flat, is it a biscuit? Cut, it's a plank! ”
"Long, is it a ham sausage? Ah, it's a rubber rod. ”
......
"I'm so tired! This round one is a stone! Although he was no longer hopeful, Ray still picked it up and groped carefully, "Eh, there are branches and leaves, it tastes so fresh, it's fruit!" It's just weird to the touch, and it seems to have a lot of patterns. ”
"It's not poisonous, is it?" Lei's face was full of confusion, and he screamed in his stomach.
"It doesn't look delicious." Ray is still struggling, "cooing".
"Let's wash somewhere!" Ray wanted to keep the last of his reserve, "Coo-goo".
"Uh, heck! It's unpalatable. "After taking a small bite, Ray felt that his face turned green, if I had to describe it, the smell was definitely poisoning." Well! Well! Come on! Ray, you can. "I guess few people have eaten the Devil Fruit whole since it was discovered, because it's so unpalatable.
Being so hungry that Ray didn't notice a momentary change in his body when he ate the fruit. After eating the fruit with great effort, Ray's head was occupied by this terrifying taste.
Ray felt himself regain some strength, and as he looked at the passage where he couldn't see the end, Ray fantasized that he would be able to fly. As soon as this thought appeared, Ray found himself floating, turning into a cloud in the 'field of vision', "Is this a cloud, I see, what a wonderful ability, I can fly!" Whoa! ”
Like a child who has just gotten a new toy, uh, maybe a Devil Fruit is a toy too.
But before Lei was happy, a powerful air current rolled up Lei and flew in one direction.
"Oooh! Can't stop! "Ray directly lost control of his body.
The speed of the air flow is very fast, and even the debris in the esophagus of the big monster has been rolled up, and Lei does not dare to release the state of turning into clouds now, once he recovers his flesh and blood, he is afraid that he will be immediately torn to pieces by the powerful air flow and floating debris. Lei could only 'see' the scene of rapid retreat beside him through his own perception, as if he was in a tunnel with the rapid impact of the water, and the air flow was wrapped in the clouds made by Lei, and he bumped all the way to a round hole of about ten meters.
"Is this going out?" The strange thing is that although the thunder swayed from side to side, it did not feel dizzy at all, and it seemed that after turning into a cloud, the perception of balance disappeared.
Before he could cheer, just as he was about to go out, Ray felt as if he had been stuffed into a pressure cooker and pressed it so hard that even a part of his body, which was originally gas, was compressed into small water droplets, mixed with the original ice crystal droplets of his body.
On the empty and vast sea, a huge figure surfaced, startled the monstrous waves, and at the vent on its back, with a dull sound, a white column of air sprayed out, and a passing news bird was dizzy by the air current, and even a few copies of the newspaper were scraped away.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! The body of the cloud of thunder erupted into the air with the column of air, like a rocket taking off, and the scattered white steam was wrapped in a mess, and it was thrown away like fireworks due to gravity and drag.
Lei looked at the mirror-like sea surface under him and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, "It should be two thousand meters, even if you fall so high, even the sea will turn into a meatloaf." ”
"Wow! What is that big monster! It's the size of an island! ”
The calm sea was smashed by a huge head, and the island-like body leaped out of the sea, bringing up enough splash to submerge a town, and the water vapor shone in the sunlight, and the picturesque scene made Ray forget everything and indulge in it.
......
Marin Vando, Marshal's Office, the most powerful group of people in the Navy in the office at this time sat on the sofa in front of the marshal's desk, and their eyes were on a grieving purple-haired middle-aged man.
"Marshal Kong, I hope your request will be granted." The purple-haired middle-aged man, who is also the current general, took off his baseball cap after speaking, and looked at the old man who was called empty.
The sturdy old man with the Mohican hairstyle avoided Zefa's gaze and looked at the others in the office. "Sengoku, Karp, Tsuru, what do you think?"
The middle-aged man with an explosive head and glasses that looked a little dazed almost immediately replied: "Marshal Kong, now that the new world is in turmoil, and powerful pirates have appeared from time to time in the first half of the Great Passage, we can't afford to lose the combat power of Zefa's strength at this time." ”
"Hahaha! That's okay! Sengoku, Zefa has captured that group of pirates, and what he wants to do most now is to find his son, just let him go! Roger, they have me watching. The vice admiral with an arc-shaped scar in the corner of his eye slapped Sengoku a few times.
"Be quiet! You two idiots! The only woman present covered her forehead helplessly, "This is not a joke, if Zefa resigns from the post of admiral, there will only be one admiral left in the navy, and the situation will be even more chaotic." ”
Marshal Sora, known as "Steel Bone", is a very decisive person, and he only asked this question to see the reaction of a few of his most trusted subordinates, and as he expected, only Karp would not let him worry about this question.
"Okay, Zefa, anyway, I still hope that you stay, stay in the navy with the help of the navy, which is much faster than if you were looking around alone. In the future, you will stay in the main department as an instructor, and the students can also help you find your son after graduation, what do you think? Sora and Zefa looked at each other and said.
"I ......"
