Chapter 18: Go, Fish-Man Island!
The atmosphere of the banquet was not as cheerful as expected, after all, Heaton and they were not pirates, and they did not have that kind of atmosphere after all.
】
Simply eating and drinking, but also satisfied.
As time went on, it got darker and darker.
Because of the lack of atmosphere at the banquet and the deliberate control of preparations for the return flight, I didn't drink too much wine.
No one wants to be in the middle of nowhere... Oh no, after the battle between Reilly and Estes, the island is not as beautiful as it was when it came.
Almost half of the island's forests were destroyed, the ground was full of potholes, and even a huge gap was opened on the north shore of the island, and the sea poured into it.
It is estimated that more than half of the animals on the island have died, and the ecosystem has been completely destroyed.
The once thriving island has become a barren island.
Nahaxiu extinguished the bonfire with imperial tools, and the group prepared to board the ship and return home.
Reilly gasped in his heart, a little surprised by the emperor's ability, but Xia Qi grabbed the cloak and didn't ask.
"Mr. Reilly, do you want to be together?"
Heaton politely extended the invitation again and called out to the teacher.
Estes has gained a lot today, it seems that Reilly's teaching level is not as bad as he imagined!
"Smack!"
Lubbock on the side took out a flashlight out of nowhere, and the dazzling white light illuminated the road ahead.
Nahashumayne and others also followed suit.
"Huh? Is this also an imperial tool? ”
Reilly didn't hold back and asked curious questions.
"Of course not, this is a reel-folding flashlight, which has the same function as a torch!"
Heaton explained that the spirit actually has a secondary night vision function, but the effect is not very good, and it is more convenient to find enemies hidden in the shadows in battle and night.
Under normal circumstances, it is more convenient and simple to have a flashlight.
There are pros and cons to both, but the Imperial soldiers are equipped with field conveniences like flashlights.
At the same time, with alchemy technology, it can be more convenient to carry.
For example, this folding flashlight can be hard or soft, or you can make up your own shape, or you can even carry it in your pocket at will.
A special dangerous material that can emit low light is used, and then through a unique alchemy inscription, the light is concentrated a little, creating the effect of a flashlight.
It consumes mental energy and consumes very little.
Nowadays, this kind of alchemy items combined with spirit have entered thousands of households in the empire, such as some agricultural tools, daily necessities, and clothing, which can reduce the loss by consuming the user's spiritual power and make it easy to use.
For example, if a tear is accidentally cut in a piece of clothing, the tear can be re-stitched and repaired through a small mental force, and at the same time, different clothes have different selling points, such as using mental power to resist the cold or become cool.
However, once the damage is too great, such as half of the clothes are burned or lost, the user's mental energy will not be able to urge the clothes to recover again.
The main reason is that the gains outweigh the losses, with the spiritual power of ordinary people, even if they can be restored, it will cause great mental loss and even leave sequelae.
Therefore, the research institute deliberately added a means of restraint, and when the attrition degree reaches a certain level, it will automatically destroy the internal alchemy runes and no longer receive spiritual power.
"Oh~"
Reilly nodded as if he didn't understand, although he felt amazing but not shocked, he was a member of the Roger Pirates who traveled around the world, and he was not uninformed.
There are so many amazing things in this world, whether it is technology, biology, climate, or natural scenes.
He's just curious about things from another world.
"Why don't I give this to you, as a small gift?"
Heaton took Nahasiu's flashlight and handed it to Reilly.
"Ae? Are you sure! ”
Reilly said with some excitement, but his hand was honest, and he had already taken the flashlight and played with it.
"Hmm... You can try to use your mental power to communicate with the flashlight, otherwise when the stored mental power is exhausted, you won't be able to illuminate! ”
"Mental power?"
Reilly felt the object in his hand as Heaton had said, and suddenly screamed in surprise.
"Oh~ It's amazing!"
I saw that the flashlight in Reilly's hand stopped lighting and began to deform according to the strength of Reilly's fingers.
The flashlight is pinched into a round ball.
As soon as his mind moved, the entire sphere began to emit a faint light, like a night pearl.
Xia Qi on the side also felt magical.
"How's that!"
Reilly was triumphant, like a child who got a new toy, showing off to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi gave him a blank look, and pulled him forward, lest he continue to be embarrassed here.
"Let's go!"
Heaton smiled, not caring that they hadn't answered the question of whether they had returned together.
Naturally, he took Estes's wrist and headed in the direction of the Don Quixote family's ship.
Sailing at sea at night is no different, as long as you judge the course, how you came and how you go back.
At the helm of the Don Quixote family, the four Rakshasas are on guard outside.
"Your Majesty! There's a boat outside! ”
Not long after sailing, the voice of Metz was heard outside.
Boat?
The Nine Snake Pirates.
The pirates Heaton who can be encountered in the windless belt can only think of the Nine Snake Pirates.
"It's a boat pulled by two giant snakes!"
Metz added, and the group followed Heaton out of the deck.
On the side of the big boat, the boat rowed by Reilly and Xia Qi also stopped and looked at the opposite side.
This is a quaint big ship, the red as the main color of the whole looks very domineering, very pirate characteristics of the two hairy giant snakes pulling the big ship, the huge size adds a bit of intimidation.
Under the moonlight, torches lit up the entire hull, and the deck was full of people and women.
"Hancock!"
Rayleigh frowned, as if he didn't expect that it was almost midnight, why he could still see the people of the Nine Snake Pirates.
The same is true for Xia Qi, and the two of them are very clear about Hancock's character.
"The ship in front of you has stopped, you have entered the territory of the Nine Snake Pirates, and obediently hand over all your property!"
A loud horn sounded, and the Nine Snake Pirate Ship slowly approached the Don Quixote family's ship.
The difference in size between the two ships was immediately evident, with the Nine Snake Pirate Ship almost twice the size of the Don Quixote family's ship.
Heaton stood at the bow of the ship, and Nahaxiu and the others beside him used their lights to shine in the direction of the Nine Snake Pirate Ship, and vaguely, Heaton saw a red figure in the crowd on the opposite deck.
Nowadays the two ships are sailing in opposite directions, and they are getting closer and closer.
"Your Majesty, do you want to deal with them?"
Estes spoke, since coming to this world, she has seen enough pirates who don't have long eyes.
"Nahasiu, distance the two ships!"
Rumble!
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying power emanated from Heaton's body.
Winter! Winter! Winter!
I saw that the shouting on the opposite ship stopped abruptly, and countless crew members fell directly on the deck, and the torches in their hands also fell one after another.
"Oh no, it's on fire!"
The few people were not stunned by Heaton's overlord color and began to scream.
"Hurry up, find something to put out the fire!"
Sandasonia and Marigorud were in a hurry, because there were too many torches, and the fire spread so quickly that there was no time to deal with it.
"No, Heloty, Lops keep going, catch up with that boat!"
The sudden appearance of the overlord color made Boya Hancock's face change, but then more anger followed, and he immediately ordered the two giant snakes in the sea to move forward.
"Sister, Heloty, they also fainted!"
Sandasonia shouted as she put out the fire on the ship with her sheer size.
"Damn, Sandasonia and Marygorud, stop your actions and attack that ship!"
"But, sister, our ship will burn out, and all of us will fall into the sea!"
"This is my order, even if the ship sinks to the bottom of the sea, it doesn't matter, everyone will forgive the concubine, because the concubine is so beautiful! Aha! ”
Hancock, who was sitting in the pink striped serpent Salome, stood up, his red and white-edged tight top tightly strangled half of the round, slender thighs, and his curvy figure was revealed.
But at this moment, Hancock had just finished speaking, but suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, raising his head to an incredible level of looking at the sky, almost showing people with his chest.
"Yes, sister!"
The helpless two could only agree, and when they were about to use their abilities to forcibly jump onto the opposite ship, suddenly, the sea surged into a monstrous wave!
"What is this, Sea Kings? No! ”
Sandasonia's eyes widened, and he saw the huge waves spinning in the air, instantly turning into a water dragon and rushing directly towards the Nine Snake Pirate Ship.
Snake Snake Fruit - Snake Snake Form, Snake Snake Fruit - Cobra Form.
The two sisters' already huge size increased again, turning into two strangely shaped monsters with human heads and snake bodies.
"Yaki Orochi"
"The Serpent God of Fire"
The hair of the giant snake, one green and one yellow, began to fly around, especially Mary Gorud, whose hair became a fiery snake, showing off its might.
Bang!
The sea water crashed directly into the two of them, and the huge waves instantly submerged the two of them.
The moment I touched the seawater, a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose.
No! It's seawater!
Winter!
The two of them instantly turned into humans and fell on the deck of the Nine Snake Pirates, but the huge waves did not stop, and they poured head-on on Boyahman Cook.
"Sister!"
The Sandasonia sisters screamed, while Boya Hancook sat on top of Salome again, soaking wet and looking embarrassed.
"Sandasonia! Mary Gorud! What are you doing! ”
Boyahmankuk's face was gloomy, and his heart was burning with anger.
"Peng!"
The huge waves crashed against the Nine Snake Pirates' ship, pushing it back into the distance.
"Damn!"
Boyahan Cook angrily tried to stand up, but the weakness of the sea water to restrain the Devil Fruit came back to him, and his leg went limp, and he fell again.
"Sister!"
The two sisters next to them even stepped forward to support them.
"Liar, this is a windless zone, why is the sea like this, how can it have such a devil fruit ability, control the ocean, this..."
Sandasonia looked incredulously as the ship under her feet grew farther and farther away from her target.
The terrifying overlord color, the strange ability, what is the other side of the sacred.
However, fortunately, the fire on the ship was extinguished.
Boyahan Cook braced himself up, counteracting the weakness of the ocean, and looked at the ship in the distance and the boat next to it.
There are two familiar figures on the boat.
"Senior Reilly, are you satisfied with this treatment?"
Heaton leaned on the railing of the boat and asked Reilly below.
"Hmm... Yes? Satisfied, satisfied! ”
Hearing Heaton's greeting, Reilly came back to his senses, and the scene just now reminded him of a big battle.
A big battle between the Roger Pirates and the Golden Lion's Flying Sky Pirates.
The power of the sea... Is it?
Reilly thought silently.
Needless to say, the relationship between Nine Snake Island and Ray Xia Qi is naturally well known.
And Boya Hancook's bad character, Heaton understands it even more.
Therefore, it can be expected that as long as he and the others meet with the people of the Nine Snake Pirates, there will inevitably be a violent conflict.
At that time, Reilly and Xia Qi will naturally be involved.
Although, Boyahan Cook may be "persuaded", Heaton doesn't like trouble.
Adhering to the idea that more is better than less, let Nahaxiu make a move, and don't even give Boyahan Cook a chance to speak.
It's mainly for the sake of Reilly's face, otherwise, Heaton is afraid that even if he can endure Boya Hancook's character, Estes can't help but beat her to death first.
Nahasui's Emperor Water Dragon [Black Horse Forest] is not as bad as Liva in the comics, and like the Devil Fruit, different people have different development potentials.
[Black Marin] can manipulate liquids, but cannot create liquids out of thin air, and the manga shows that it can manipulate the blood of the ocean itself.
Because the empire did not have the concept of water vapor at that time, and the control of water vapor was more detailed and difficult, it was also difficult to achieve, and generally speaking, it was not achieved by successive generations of users.
But Nahasiu can.
He is a genius selected by the empire from all over the country, and his talent is one of the best in the empire excluding Estes.
And Heaton's change in the training methods of the assassination force, coupled with intentional guidance, allows Nahasiu's potential to be tapped even deeper.
It is already possible to use the emperor to feel the onlooker liquid, not only can you make your own blood boil, achieve the ability to improve your physical fitness with violent blood, but you can even control the enemy's blood, or control the water vapor into the enemy's body.
Although Nahasiu, as Heaton's personal secretary, rarely makes a move, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the second strongest person in the team after Estes.
"Well, good job!"
Metz lifted her toes to reach Nahasiu's shoulder, and gave him a gentle tat twice in praise.
Nahasiu nodded, his face still serious.
"Hey~ Nahasiu, how can you find a girlfriend like this, you look at Gai Yin, and Cornelia are so happy."
Metz sighed, his tone full of helplessness for Nahasiu's sullen character.
Nahasiu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned to follow Heaton back to the cabin.
As the emperor's secretary or brocade guard, it can be said that Nahaxiu and no one in the team have more than two sentences on the topic.
In addition to Metz, as the daughter of the old boss, and going to train together since childhood, you can be as big as him.
The factions in the empire are very distinct, brocade guards, civil officials, and military generals.
At the same time, different departments within the civil service have different factions, and the same is true within the military generals.
As the supervisor of everyone, Jinyiwei is even more distinct.
Now, for example, Lubbo and Maine are standing together, talking to each other, not knowing what they are discussing.
Lubbo was half of Estes.
In terms of Jinyiwei, except for Zhu Tianjingji, who is always silent, Suzuka, Matz, and Chelsea get along better.
If there are no special circumstances, the two sides will hardly talk to each other.
As for Heaton, he was accompanied by Estes, Nahasiu was on the sidelines, and Su Zuo did some chores.
Such as making a cup of coffee for everyone, cooking, tidying up, etc.
The next voyage will not have such an unexpected situation as the Nine Snake Pirates, after all, ordinary ships cannot sail in a windless zone.
Before dawn, the people returned to Chambord.
However, Heaton and the others did not plan to stay for long, and let Reilly prepare to dive after coating the ship.
"Then we're off, Reilly-senpai!"
Boarding the boat, Heaton waves goodbye to Reilly, who responds in the same way.
"People from another world, what will the sea be like in the future? Roger, what kind of times do you look forward to? ”
Ray muttered to himself, using a voice that only he could hear.
Ever since he saw Heaton and his party, his mood had become very complicated, especially after Xia Qi pulled him to say those words and his own analysis, he only felt that the sea in front of him had become more and more confusing.
"Hey, I really want to have a drink!"
Looking at Heaton and the others, who had already begun to dive, Reilly shook his head, sighed, and turned to leave.
"Oh! It's amazing! ”
The sky was faintly bright, the red sun had just risen over the sea in the distance, and the Don Quixote was wrapped in a huge bubble, sinking little by little to the surface of the sea.
When the sun hits the bubbles, the brilliant brilliance moves like a streamer.
The deep blue water squeezes the bubbles and makes a gurgling sound.
La Burck Mainmez was already stunned, the scene in front of him was too beautiful and dreamy, the vast sea, the dazzling huge bubbles, no one would not be fascinated by such a view.
Even Heaton, even if he has seen the fantasy of the rational world, still finds it difficult to imagine that such a scene would appear in the real world.
This is completely different from the experience of watching anime and manga, and it is only when you experience it yourself that you will clearly and deeply understand the beauty of natural creations.
As you descended, you got farther and farther away from the sea, and the light blue water gradually deepened, and then you saw thick white roots one after another.
This is the root of the Archian mangrove tree in Chambord, and the root is thicker and more impressive than the trunk above.
Each huge tree root is intertwined, and between the roots, huge schools of different species of marine fish shuttle and feed.
Every tree root, every sea fish, is far beyond the size of Don Quixote.
"The fish here won't eat us!"
Lubbo looked at the big fish in the distance, almost the shape of a carp as thick as the roots of a tree, with silver shining scales, each about the size of Don Quixote.
"Smack!"
Ma Yin slashed at Lubbock's head with a knife and gave him a blank look.
"Crow's beak!"
"I said, now it's only in the shallow waters, and the fish here are very docile and don't attack the diving boats, but as you dive deeper, bigger sea kings will gradually appear in the sea, and at that time, you should be careful."
Suddenly, an untimely voice sounded, with a strange accent and a catchphrase.
"Hey~ Uncle with a runny nose."
Everyone followed the sound and looked at the inconspicuous corner on the side of the ship, where was a lewd figure wearing a sky blue cotton cloak with a hoop pattern.
Metz shouted in surprise.
"Hmm!"
Torrebol's expression froze, he covered his mouth with both hands at the same time, and the plum blossom cane in his hand fell to the ground.
"Aha... Hah..."
Doflamingo immediately stepped forward and laughed awkwardly.
"He's such a person, I hope you don't mind, Torrebol, and apologize quickly!"
Doflamingo looked at Torrebol with a slightly embarrassed expression.
If I knew I didn't bring him here, I knew that his bad habits would cause trouble!
From before meeting Heaton, Doflamingo secretly instructed his subordinates to keep a low profile and not attract attention.
But Torrebol has a bad habit of being verbose, liking to grab other people's topics and repeat them.
He even always keeps his nose and sticks it on others.
This habit was disliked even by Doflamingo himself, but Torrebol was Don Quixote's man and his own family.
Therefore, Doflamingo will always let it go like this, because it is Torrepol's habit and does not deserve to be ridiculed.
"I... I..."
As soon as he was excited, Torrebol became even more flustered and stammered.
He has been restrained all the way, trying his best not to stick on others, especially the other party.
He's the one who's experienced Estes' domineering and watched her and Reilly almost sink an island.
But the view of the seabed in front of me was so beautiful that people couldn't help but immerse themselves and relax themselves, and they couldn't help but interject into the other party's conversation.
"It doesn't matter."
Heaton spoke.
"I do not restrict you in any way, and whatever you do, as long as it is not a betrayal and obeys my orders, you are no different from them."
"Doflamingo, Estes didn't find you to put a collar on you and take you into slavery, on the contrary, he took a fancy to your ability, and there is no need to be submissive in front of me, this should not be what you can do with the color of an overlord!"
"I..."
Doflamingo wanted to speak, but he didn't say anything out of fear.
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!"
Finally, Doflamingo thanked him and fell silent again.
"Metz! I've given you a task. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Metz, who was happy on the side, immediately straightened up.
"Go and tell the people of Monsieur Doflamingo and Don Quixote about our origins."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
It's a good start, and Heaton is commendable for Doflamingo's courage to stand up and take responsibility for his men.
As a king, how can he not tolerate people?
It doesn't matter what Don Quixote's people do before, at least not for Heaton, it's how they behave afterwards that matters.
If Doflamingo's heart is defeated by Estes, it means that his potential is completely lost.
Then it doesn't matter to him whether there is Don Quixote or not.
People who don't have the ability will not be reused wherever they go, and Heaton needs Doflamingo to show his abilities again.
Otherwise, the Don Quixote family will only usher in destruction.
