Chapter 52: We Longing for the Sea
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Somewhere along the coast, there was a rhythmic sound of gunfire, but it wasn't a daring pirate attacking the Don Quixote family's lair, in fact, for some rather fearsome reason, even the navy wouldn't attack it...... Even if they learn that this is a pirate lair.
Because Doflamingo is a Draconian.
Even if he was just a former Celestial Dragon.
So there won't be a shootout here, it's just that Qiubai is supervising Baby-5 and Buffalo to adapt to their "new body", and overall it's not too good or too bad, barely going well.
Although the taste of the Devil Fruit will make people regret it for a lifetime, compared to the changes in the body after eating the Devil Fruit, the "taste nuke" is nothing at all.
The Weapon Fruit and the Turning Fruit respectively caused Baby-5 and Bafaro to have quite "non-human" changes in their bodies, which was extremely frightening to the person concerned...... Only the word horror can describe the mood they have been in since they ate the fruit.
Most of the time, the changes produced by superhuman devil fruits are more bizarre than those of nature, and it is easy to scare people to cry.
In the case of Baby-5, her face turned white with horror when she watched her little hand turn into a thick, long, ugly tube that could even shoot out of it...... It's getting weird.
This is just a pistol, the weapon fruit can be changed by all kinds of hot and cold weapons, and its ability to change probably depends on the user's imagination and cognition, and in the future, it will probably not be a problem to change into an Armstrong spiral acceleration Armstrong cannon.
In terms of power and practicality, the baby-5 should have earned it, and the value of the weapon fruit is above the cost of not being able to swim, which is a fairly convenient ability.
Although Qiu Bai can't say that he is not strange about the strange Devil Fruit, he does not know much about it, so compared to the changes in Baby-5's body after eating the fruit, Qiu Bai is actually more interested in the bullets she shoots.
In terms of effect, it seems to be no different from real ammunition, but this is a bit contrary to the law of conservation of energy.
What does a bullet change? Is it pure energy? Or some bodily fluids? It's worth a bit of research.
"Brother Qiu, how is it?" Baby-5's slightly apprehensive voice interrupted Qiubai's deep thinking about ergonomics.
Baby-5 had to overcome her fear of physical changes by trying not to care about her right hand, which had been firearmed, and concentrating on aiming and shooting at distant targets, while also getting used to the burden of the recoil of firing...... I have to say that this is quite difficult training for an eight-year-old girl.
"Very good...... Qiubai first glanced at the target in front of him, and then praised.
Perhaps this kid is more talented in shooting than he is, not to mention accuracy, in this short period of time, she has been able to ensure that she can hit the target at a distance of 50 meters, and she has not undergone any special training before.
As a shooter, she is just around the corner to surpass Qiubai.
Baby-5, who has been affirmed and praised, is naturally in a better mood, it seems that the black pipe in her hand is not so terrifying, and even the expression on her face is much more vivid.
Then she turned around and continued her shooting practice. Compared to her, Buffalo's practice is actually more difficult.
"Brother Qiu, the limit is up, pull me down!"
A faint shout was heard in the air directly above.
Whether it's because of the altitude of the flight, or because of the constant humming sound similar to that of a helicopter, the sound of the Buffalo needs to be carefully discerned to be understood.
Qiubai shook his head involuntarily, it is indeed a relatively difficult thing to let a human who can't fly gain the ability to fly.
Learning to fly is much harder than learning to wave, really.
Qiu Bai stretched out his hand and shook it to the side, and then a thick cable was held in his hand, one end of which was fixed to the ground, and the other end was tied to the waist of a flying object in the air.
Obviously, the cargo was flying in a rather difficult manner, and judging from the trajectory, he had to fly an impressionist painting...... Bafaro can't control himself at all, and he can't fly this thing and he has to understand fluid dynamics.
However, the problem he is facing now is the same as that of ordinary people learning to bicycle, he can start but will not stop, and it is common for the landing difficulty of the aircraft to be greater than that of the lift-off, so Qiubai simply tied a rope to him, obviously it was such a high-end thing as flying into the sky, but it turned out to be the same as a kite.
Now that Buffalo can't get down, Qiubai can only start to close the line. In fact, the pull from the rope is quite large, thanks to Qiubai being a berserker, otherwise he may not be able to pull the other party down.
As Qiubai continued to retract, Buffalo's flight altitude decreased a little bit, which seemed to be very smooth, but with a "whoosh", Buffalo still crashed in the end.
Turbulence? Is it because of the air turbulence on the coast? Or is Qiubai's strength too fierce and pulls people down all of a sudden?
Fortunately, the height of Buffalo has been lowered gradually, and although this thing is young, it has rough skin and thick flesh, and it is not a big deal to fall a few times.
In fact, Bafaro was relatively old in that group of children, he was only a little more than a year younger than Qiubai, but his height was two heads taller than Qiubai, and if you count the volume and weight, it may be more than four times that of Qiubai.
Crashes seem to happen quite often, so Qiubai didn't even look at it to know that there was nothing going on with Buffalo:
"You two, that's the end of today, you can rest early, don't forget that there is a serious mission tomorrow."
"Got it!"
The two said in unison, but the girl's voice was very loud, and the boy's voice was weak...... It's still half-buried in the garbage.
Qiubai left them alone, and then turned to leave...... He didn't know why the job of a nanny suddenly fell on his head, but in the end, he just supervised a little, so that he couldn't really be as comprehensive as a nursing child.
Today's training time is a little shorter than the previous few days, and this is precisely because of the "serious mission" that Qiu Bai said.
…………
Early the next morning.
All the cadres of the Don Quixote family gathered, and then boarded the main ship of the pirates, and then the Karma pirates were finally going to be active.
There is no doubt that pirates also need to work, and their job can be summed up in almost two words...... Rob.
The rest are all derivatives of robbery.
Next, the Don Quixote family will have to cruise the sea for half a month to a month, waiting for the opportunity to swallow the appropriate "sacrifice", and at the same time, it will inevitably start a war with other pirates and evade the pursuit of the navy......
To put it simply, this is a big job, whether it is for the pirates themselves, or for the third-party pirates or the navy - once the pirates like the Don Quixote family become active, they will probably disturb the entire North Sea.
"Is everyone here?"
On the front deck of the pirate ship, Doflamingo swept the faces of the cadres one by one, but he was asking a nonsense, who would strike at such a time?
"The newcomers seem to be a little nervous, but as a pirate, they really need to go to sea, ......
The "newcomers" in Dover's mouth definitely do not include Qiubai, will he be nervous when he goes to sea? Hehe, pirates don't go to sea to rob, what's the difference between them and salted fish?
The nervous ones are probably Baby-5 and Buffalo, who have become members of the "family", and of course they need to participate in this kind of all-hands action.
"Very well, we're on our way." The performance of his subordinates made Doflamingo very satisfied.
"Raise the sails!"
As Dover's order fell, the younger brother on the lookout shouted the order, and then the sails were opened, and the deck began to be busy.
However, this has nothing to do with the cadres, with the manpower of the Don Quixote family, these chores will not be handled by the cadres, there are ordinary crew members on this ship, and they are specially responsible for those miscellaneous things.
Watching the ship gradually sail away from the shore, Qiubai became full of anticipation.
But...... Hey, Lieutenant General Crane is wandering around the North Sea, didn't he tell Dover, or didn't he tell Dover?
…………
Forget it, I can't remember.
