And on the other side, on the calm sea.

In the front of a warship, Admiral Akainu was sitting in the control room with a gloomy face, his feet on the console full of buttons.

Fortunately, the console is large enough, leaving a large blank area for him to put his feet on.

...

"I see." Holding the microphone in his left hand, Akainu responded in a low tone.

"Well, don't delay too long, go straight to Mary Joya when you're done." A phone bug with a cigar in the corner of its mouth is conveying the orders of the person on the other end of the phone to the Akainu in a very calm tone.

"Well, there's nothing else, I'll hang up." Akainu frowned, as if he didn't want to say more to this person.

"Well, hang it." After speaking, the person on the other end of the phone hung up the phone directly, leaving only the sound of "doodoo" to the red dog, and the phone bug that was spitting smoke rings also closed his eyes abruptly and fell into a deep sleep.

"This bastard—" Akainu cursed in a low voice, and then pressed the microphone hard against the volute back of the phone bug.

Smoker, who was standing quietly behind Akainu, glanced at the phone bug that was almost smashed, and said nonchalantly: "Your Excellency, this is our G-5 branch, the only phone bug that can connect to the headquarters, and it has been broken..."

"It's going to be a problem!" Smoker frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"Humph!" Akainu snorted heavily, not intending to respond too much.

It's just a lieutenant general.

Smoker watched Akainu's back and waited quietly.

After a while, Smoker realized that Akainu did not intend to convey the intention of the headquarters order to him, so he walked out with a blank face, and couldn't help but scold:

Hmph, it will be a young pirate under the age of 20, who has broken an arm, and his face is still full of arrogance, is this the general of the current headquarters...

But that's it.

At this time, Smoker lowered his head slightly, making it impossible to see the expression on his face. It wasn't until he stepped out of the control room and into the sunlight that one could see his slightly cold smile.

Especially the terrifying scar from his cheek to his forehead, which made his cold face even more cold.

"Mr. Smoker—" Dusty walked over from the side, pursed his lips, and said with some hesitation.

"Huh?"

Smoker turned his head to look at Dusty, who was a little restrained, then frowned slightly, and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Dusty, this is the warship of the G-5 unit, don't be so cowardly in your own warship." ”

"Yes, Lieutenant General Smoker!" Dusty straightened his chest and said in a firm tone.

Seeing this, Smoker let out a faint 'um', his tone was slightly calmer, and he said suspiciously: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Dusty lifted the frame of the mirror and said, "Our current route is... Going to Mary Joy? ”

"Well, I guess so."

After a pause, he continued, "Whitebeard suddenly announced that he was going to form an alliance with the Straw Hat Boy, and there must be something planned in it. And this world conference, those who call themselves the revolutionary army, will also come to intervene. Smoker's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became a little heavier.

"Are you saying that this time we are going to face the Four Emperors of the Sea and the Revolutionary Army!?" Dusty's pupils contracted suddenly, and he subconsciously took a half step back, and then asked with a face full of doubts:

"The man who claims to be the strongest in the world, he... Why did he attack Mary Joa, didn't his son, Fire Fist Ace, not be executed successfully? ”

Smoker didn't look up, and said in a low tone:

"He's coming."

After a pause, he said: "Recently, there have been rumors that the captain of the Sixth Team who died seems to be the hand of the Blackbeard Pirates, plus the captain of the Fourth Team he killed earlier, a total of two blood debts, Whitebeard will definitely not give up." ”

"And, if you want to find Tiki hiding in the endless sea, then there is only one place..."

"You're saying that man, he's going to kill Mary Joy because of Blackbeard Teach?" Dusty covered her mouth lightly, her face full of shock.

Feeling the shock in Dusty's eyes, Smoker shook his head lightly and said, "I'm not sure either, but... There's a good chance he'll go. ”

Hearing this, Dusty hurriedly spoke, "What if the headquarters doesn't summon the Seven Martial Seas, or Blackbeard Tiki to Mary Joa?" ”

Hearing this, Smoker's face froze, and then his brows slowly furrowed, falling into deep thought.

Just when the atmosphere was gradually heavy, a cold snort came into the ears of the two.

When the two of them heard the sound, they saw the red dog in the navy coat walking out of the door, and said with a gloomy face:

"Do you want to convey to the world that our navy is afraid of these dark forces!!"

Smoker only frowned at this, but did not open his mouth to refute it.

Dusty, on the other hand, looked at Smoker with a blank look on his face, and said in his heart...... No wonder Mr. Smoker did not say a word, it turned out that he had expected this result a long time ago.

Seeing that the two were silent, Akainu glanced at Smoker and said lightly: "Our destination this time is not Mary Joa, but Dr. Vegapunk's laboratory. ”

"Why?" Smoker suddenly raised his head, looked at Akainu's eyes full of distrust, and asked coldly: "Why did Your Excellency change the course without permission, this seems to have involved disobeying military orders." ”

However, this time, Akainu did not ignore him, and directly responded to his questioning, and said slowly:

"Because... This is the order given by the headquarters. ”

After speaking, the corners of his mouth grinned, with an intriguing smile, walked between the two and went straight to the bow of the boat.

...

On the other side, on the slow-moving Sonny.

Everyone gathered at the bow of the ship and looked at the flaming island not far away, their eyes full of horror.

Looking at this terrible island, with a huge volcanic eruption on one side and a whirlwind of flames on the other, everyone even slowed down their breathing rate a few times for a while.

Jinping, who was extremely resistant to the heat, frowned and said, "Do we have to cross this island?" ”

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look at Nami, whose face was full of shock.

Nami didn't expect that she had chosen the route with the lowest pointer jitter frequency, why... Why did you still come to such a terrifying island?

New world... Is it all so scary.

Chopper, who also hated the heat, stuck out his tongue and said weakly: "Can we go around, I... I can't exert my strength at all, it's hot..."

Everyone present frowned.

Except for Luffy, whose eyes are full of glitter...

Just when the atmosphere gradually became dull, Chen Mu spoke.

"Do you have to cross this island for the pointer to point in the next direction?"

Nami's eyes flashed with guilt, and she lowered her head and let out a soft 'um'.

Seeing this, Chen Mu smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed Nami's hair, and said softly, "Let me go." ”

Everyone's expressions froze, and they all turned their heads to look at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu didn't care about everyone's reaction, gently took the pointer from Nami's hand, and said, "I'll summon Ah Whale to scream, and when I cross this island, I will inform Ah Whale, and when the time comes, you can find me if you follow it." ”

"Whales?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the big black whale.

Yes, it's been a few days since I saw that silly sea king.

Seeing everyone's suddenly realized expressions, Chen Mu could see at a glance what they were thinking in their hearts.

It's not that he doesn't let Ah Whale come out, but his innate ability that is only level 1 has a skill cooldown.

Each time you summon a Sea King, the duration of existence is 24 hours, but the cooldown time is as long as 48 hours!

In this regard, Chen Mu was also very helpless.

But I'm also very glad that I didn't call out the 'whale' a few days ago, otherwise it would be very troublesome if it is in the cooling now.

Moreover, this rough system is really true, and there is not much introduction to how to upgrade at all, so he is still confused and can only wait for fate to come.

...

After everyone instructed one after another, Chen Mu stood on the lion's head and smiled at everyone. Then the figure flashed, turning into a yellow beam of light, which shot straight at the terrible island surrounded by half lava and half flame whirlwind.

Although Nami knew that with Chen Mu's ability, she would definitely be able to return safely, but... Still uncontrollable worries.

Just then, Robin walked over, put his hand lightly on Nami's shoulder, and smiled softly at her.

Nami's eyes flashed with emotion, and she reluctantly squeezed out a smile in response.

The atmosphere on the ship gradually eased, and everyone came over to comfort Nami one after another, and then each returned to his post.

Nami was the only one left, still standing at the bow of the ship, looking forward to it.

The party to this incident, Mr. Chen Mu.

It is a 'wind and fire' that goes straight to the center of the island.

With the constant prompting of the system, Chen Mu finally found the right path after countless wrong directions, and came to this lava lake in the center of the island.

[Ding, discover the advanced fishing spot, currently available bait: (advanced) rainbow bait.] 】

Chen Mu looked left and right, selected a boulder near the lake, jumped lightly, and jumped up.

Then, in a flash of brilliance, the special fishing rod that had been hung with the bait appeared straight in the upper right.

With a slight whistling sound, a brilliant rainbow streaked across the crimson water and landed precisely into the center of the lava lake.

[Ding, fishing starts, countdown: 9 minutes and 59 seconds...]

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows in surprise and exclaimed...... There's a fishing countdown this time?

After complaining casually, he closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Time passed minute by minute, and Chen Mu, who was sitting on the boulder, seemed to be an old monk in a fixed position, not moving at all.

...

[Ding, the fishing is successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining the mirror fruit.] 】

The prompt sound of the system woke Chen Mu up, only to see him slowly open his sleepy eyes, and a tear of anger slid down his cheek.

While tapping the yawning mouth with his left hand, he stuck the rod behind him with his right hand.

The style of cupping is extremely rich.

I don't know if I thought he was going to pull out a pan from behind his back...

Chen Mu, who gradually came to his senses, smashed his mouth, scratched the back of his head, and said to himself: "This is... Devil Fruits? ”

Taking a fancy to the mirror-like fruit in his hand, Chen Mu was a little stupid.

The mirror fruit is shaped like a durian with a pointed shell, but the strange thing is that it is a fruit without any color.

And its colorless state is different from the transparent lake water.

When Chen Mu lifted this huge fruit, what was reflected on the surface was actually his own face.

But the weird thing is that there is more than one picture.

I feel that every spike is an independent mirror, and countless Chen Mu's faces appear on this fruit at the same time.

In this regard, Chen Mu had to exclaim...

This 'Pippi' system is different, not only does it have no color, but it doesn't even have the unique threads of the Devil Fruit, it's really... Naughty.

After Chen Mu complained for a short time, he fixed his eyes on this special fruit.

I saw that many human faces on its mirror image slowly disappeared, and then the picture in the mirror was suddenly shrouded in a fog, and a huge tree could be vaguely seen, and the huge crown of the tree was full of fruits of different shapes.

This... Could it be the origin of the Devil Fruit? ...... Chen Mu was stunned, a little unable to believe the picture in the mirror.

Then he shook his head vigorously and looked into the mirror again.

I saw that on the blurred mist, lines of fine black fonts slowly appeared.

【Mirror Fruit:】

[Effect 1: Replicate any fruit ability.] (The ability of the copied fruit is permanent, and the user can replace the effect at any time.) ）】

[Effect 2: Up to two fruit abilities can exist at the same time.] 】

[How to use: If the user needs to have direct contact with other abilities, the effect and duration of the reproduction fruit (development) will be determined according to the strength of both parties.] 】

[Note: This fruit can be used on any living thing or object.] 】

This concludes the introduction...

it, this fruit... What a cow is coaxing!

With this thing, doesn't that mean you have all the fruits in the world?

And it's also a double fruit, seamless switching.

This is much more than Blackbeard's dark fruit, a bull fork!

Just when Chen Mu couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, a thunderous explosion sounded in his mind, making the laughter that was about to blurt out his throat suffocated.

No, no, this thing... It's a Devil Fruit!

it!

I already suffer from seasickness, and I get seawater after eating the Devil Fruit.

In this world where the plot is either sea water or islands, how do you let me play?

Just when Chen Mu was about to turn into a rampage brother, at the bottom of the mirror fruit, a line of small black characters slowly appeared, which read:

[Note: After taking this fruit, the user will be afraid of seawater.] 】

I'm him... You still have to say that!?

Do you think I don't know!!

Chen Mu stopped the expletives that were about to blurt out in time.

No way..... If you say it, it will be automatically silenced.

Just when someone was angrily jumping at the 'mirror', the small words on the screen began to slowly dissipate.

Gradually, only a small line remained.

[Note: This fruit can be used on any living thing or object.] 】

In the whole huge picture, there is such a sentence.

Looking at this very connotative introduction, Chen Mu calmed down slightly, suggesting that he should calm down first.

At the same time, the mouth repeatedly...... Can be used on any life or object...

On the object?

A thunderclap exploded again in Chen Mu's mind.

When he woke up in an instant, his eyes flashed with dazzling brilliance.

Object? I have the object! 1

"Hahahaha, it's time to evolve!"

"Come out, my Mirror Flower Moon Beast!!"

I saw that on Chen Mu's right hand, a misty light flashed, and a green-handled long-bladed slashing knife appeared in his hand.

Chen Mu, who held a knife in one hand and a melon in the other, raised his hands above his head.

Then slap it hard!

[Ding, the mirror fruit has been used successfully.] 】

[Ding, the attributes of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Slashing Knife have been changed.] 】

Hearing the pleasant system prompt sound, Chen Mu couldn't wait to put the mirror in front of him and look at it carefully.

Less misty, more clear, good, good, hahahahaha...... Chen Mu stood on the huge boulder, looking at the blade that reflected the surrounding scenery, and couldn't stop laughing.

In this hot and dry place, Chen Muxiao's throat and eyes were about to smoke, so he could stop laughing.

calmed down his excitement a little, and with Chen Mu, who was full of joy, he embarked on this 'journey' again.

...

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it had been half a day since Chen Mu left.

The sky outside had already entered the night, but the island of flames that was full of fire still reflected the surrounding sky and the sea in red.

Everyone gathered in the restaurant and ate dinner with their hearts and minds.

Nami, in particular, was crouched on the table with guilt in her heart, and the food in front of her was unmoved.

"Nami, don't worry, he's a person to rely on." Robin comforted Nami softly as she drank black tea.

"Hmm," Nami replied weakly.

Just as Luffy was about to sneak out and walk the food in front of Nami, a whale cry suddenly came into everyone's ears.

Nami looked up suddenly, her eyes flashing with a dazzling light.

"It's a whale! Uncle, he's on the other side!! ”

Everyone hurriedly ran out, looking at the huge black shadow that suddenly appeared next to the boat, and a trace of excitement flashed in their eyes.

"Hey~~ Whale!" Usopp waved his hand and greeted him with pleasure.

"Ah Whale~~" Chopper smiled and bent his eyes, and shouted in a similar way.

Sanji on the side, with a face full of relief, lit a cigarette, and then spit out a thick smoke ring at the starry night sky, and said softly:

"What an uneasy guy."

Everyone present was jumping in ecstasy.

I don't know if it's because I got the news that Chen Mu has completed the task, or because I saw my 'partner' who was reunited.

At this moment, Sauron, who had already jumped onto the watchtower, suddenly let out a startled sigh and pointed to a dilapidated warship not far from Ah Whale and said:

"There's a drowning man over there."

The cries of the ship instantly fell, and they all looked at Sauron at the top of the tower.

"Can you see who it is?" Nami looked up and asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Sauron's right eye narrowed slightly, and then on the island of flames next to him, he saw a few people lying on the plank, and muttered, "It's not the navy. ”

"Then prepare to save people." Sanji flicked the cigarette in his hand and took Chopper straight to the dock on the basement floor.

Before leaving, he also specially told Frankie to hurry up and open the dock gate.

In this way, several rescue boats bypassed the huge whale and headed for the shipwrecked in the distance......
