11. Set sail
The morning breeze was blowing, and Abner stood quietly beside the quiet hut, his eyes slowly looking around.
"Abner, it's time for us to go!"
More than ten meters behind Abner, Wickeb was dressed in a snow-white navy uniform and a gray and white cloak with the word "justice" written on it, and said softly.
Thanks to Abner's cultivation of [Tiger and Leopard Thunder Yin], Vikbu and his party stayed on this island for ten more days, and it has been half a month since they landed on the island.
After repairing the ship, recovering from its wounds, preparing food and fresh water, and recording the location of the island of the Behemoths, it was finally time for Wickeb and his party to board the ship and return home, and it was finally time for Abner to say goodbye to the island where he had lived for nearly three months.
"Hmm!"
Abner responded gently, turned his head to look at Wickeb standing behind him, tilted his head and thought for a while, then stepped directly into the hut and took out a package of animal skins and handed it to Wickb's hand.
"This! It's for you, Vick! ”
Wick was stunned for a moment, and casually opened the animal skin package, and suddenly a banana with a purple-red skin densely covered with spiral strange patterns appeared in front of him.
"Devil Fruit!"
The expression on Vikbu's face froze instantly.
"Daddy Simon said that Devil Fruits are very valuable treasures on the sea, and they can be exchanged for a lot of money."
"But now that I'm going to join the navy, there must be food and shelter there, so this devil fruit won't be needed, so I'll give it to you!"
Abner shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression.
"Where did you get this Devil Fruit from?"
"I found it by accident on the island about three years ago, while hunting. I remember my dad saying that everyone could only eat one Devil Fruit, and I kept it. ”
Looking at the Devil Fruit in his hand, Wickeb struggled inwardly, and his face kept changing.
At this moment, what came to his mind was the bloodthirsty and crazy scarred face of the [Birel Pirates] captain Birel, the familiar corpses of his subordinates under his sword, and his powerless and grief-stricken roar after struggling to shake off the pursuit of the [Birel Pirates]!
If you eat this Devil Fruit......
"Abner, if you take out this Devil Fruit and sell it, it will be worth at least 100 million Baileys, which is a huge amount of money that is enough to make you worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life!"
Gritting his teeth, Wickeb reminded Abner.
"Hey, hey, Wick, you're a good person, this Devil Fruit was given to you!" (After all, after lying to you for so long, this Devil Fruit will be used as compensation!) )
"That'...... Abner! Brother owes you a favor! In the future, as long as it does not violate my righteous ways, then your business is my brother's business! ”
After hesitating for a long time, Wick still gritted his teeth, reached out and picked up the Devil Fruit in the animal skin package, handed it to his mouth, and bit it down fiercely.
"Uh......"
In an instant, the expression on Wickeb's face was distorted to the extreme.
……
"Anchor!"
"The direction is confirmed!"
"Raise the sails!"
"Full rudder to the right!"
"Full speed ahead!"
"Goal! Navy G3 Branch! ”
With the orderly operation of many naval crews, this naval warship, which had stayed on the island of giant beasts for half a month, finally set sail from slow to fast.
Abner stood on the deck, looking at the naval warship at his feet with interest.
Unlike Abner's world, the main body of the ship in the One Piece world is still made of wood, and although it also has a power propulsion system, it is mainly a sail.
In addition, as a naval warship sailing on the great voyage, the bottom of this sea ship led by Wick is specially inlaid with sea tower stones to avoid the attacks of sea kings.
"Abner, are you still used to this ship?"
After the warship set sail smoothly, Wick, who was the captain of the ship, finally pulled out and asked with a smile at Abner, who was standing on the deck and looking around leisurely.
"It's a little awkward compared to being on land, but it's okay."
"It's good to get used to it, but sailing on the sea is no better than being on the island before Abner, and you have to be able to endure loneliness."
"Our destination this time is the G3 branch, and it will take nearly seven or eight days if the weather is good, or we will practice twice."
Leaning against the wall of the ship, Vikb explained, suggesting.
As for Abner's true strength, Vikbu has long been curious.
Superhuman Sun Fruit ability, who has survived on this island of giant beasts with countless dragon beasts, there is no difference between strength and weakness in his eyes, only delicious and undelicious.
In the previous half month, on the one hand, Vikbu was injured because he had not recovered, but more importantly, he felt that his strength could not fight against Abner at all, so the idea of making a test did not arise at all.
But after eating the animal-based devil fruit, Wick felt that his strength, physique, and physical agility had been greatly improved, especially his attack speed and movement speed, which had been increased to an unbelievably terrifying level.
Wickeb thinks that even against the Birrell of the [Birrell Pirates] half a month ago, he can compete with one or two.
Therefore, after getting free time, the curiosity about Abner's strength couldn't help but rise again.
"Good! Come on, Vick! Abner said with his right hand directly on the flying bone in his back.
It is said that since coming to this One Piece world, Abner has been particularly fond of this giant weapon obtained by the lottery.
In the face of a giant beast that is tens of meters or hundreds of meters high at every turn, it is particularly hearty to chop it with this huge flying bone.
Even in order to be able to better use the flying bones, Abner also deliberately covered the surface of the flying bones with a thick layer of refined iron stone, raising the weight of the entire flying bones to four hundred catties, and at the same time, allowing the flying bones to be controlled by their own magnetic control ability.
The news of the exchange between the two spread throughout the ship at an astonishing speed, and in less than a minute, the entire deck was densely packed with many naval soldiers.
"Boss! Come on! I'm optimistic about you! ”
"Brother Abner, don't give us captain face, show us your hands!"
"Show your hands! Show your hands! ”
"Lieutenant Colonel, come on!"
"You guys, stay away from me when you see the excitement!" Vikbu laughed and cursed as he drew his weapon.
Vikb's weapon was ordinary, just an ordinary sabre.
The saber is ordinary, but the moment the blade of the saber turns black, it becomes unusual.
Armed color domineering!
"Abner! This is my armed color domineering! Be careful! ”
