Pirate: Eternal

Chapter 5 Devil Fruit?

Ozma lay on the beach for a long time. After recovering a little strength, he got up and walked towards the island's woods.

Along the way, he skillfully picked various fruits. The towering trees looked like small saplings in front of him, but he was able to pick the fruits without damaging the branches.

Such a big guy is doing such a delicate job, God has to wonder what this guy has been through!

Behind him, Vlad nodded with satisfaction at his actions. After this period of training, Ozma was able to protect the natural environment.

"I've been eating food that travels on land recently. Let's change the taste today and eat food that swims in the sea."

Vlad subconsciously opened his handbag and was about to take out the fishing rod. Suddenly he remembered that he was no longer alone, and there was a big guy following him.

Although this fishing rod is very expensive on the blue planet, it certainly cannot support fishing for Neptune species.

As a last resort, Vlad took off his clothes, revealing his muscular and well-proportioned body, and walked towards the sea.

At this moment, a palm-sized furry creature emerged from the clothes scattered on the beach, its dark eyes staring at Vlad's retreating back.

In fact, many people have always entered into a misunderstanding, that is, in the world of One Piece, large fish can be seen everywhere.

However, it is not!

There is only one creature standing at the top of the food chain in each sea area. If it is in the sea near an island, then this creature will be called the king of the offshore sea.

In addition to attacking passing ships, the king of offshore waters also sources more food from various creatures in the territorial waters. It is too small to have enough teeth, so it will definitely attack creatures that can feed it.

This is why Ozma wanders around and doesn't settle on some uninhabited island.

Because the food resources are simply not enough for him to eat!

Of course, he can swim thousands of miles across several sea areas to hunt for food, but in this way the physical expenditure is not proportional to the energy intake.

However, Ozma can rely on the crops grown in human towns or casting nets to catch a large number of small fish for food. Large creatures like the King of the Offshore do not have such high intelligence and logistical support.

Even though the King of the Offshore is huge, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to find it in the vast sea, and Vlad has never thought of diving down to look for it.

clatter-

After Vlad swam to the deep water area, he began to slap the water on the surface to make noise. This was using himself as bait to attract the offshore king to prey.

After having fun on the water for a long time, Vlad felt that there was no movement under the water, which made him a little disappointed.

"It seems that someone has been to this island before, and the king of the offshore sea has been eaten as food."

This is the new world. Due to the harsher environment and weather, the Sea Kings here are generally much stronger than those in the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line.

It can be seen from this that the last batch of people who came here should be of good strength, and they just left not long ago, and the new offshore king has not yet settled in.

"Someone is going to be hungry~"

Although there were no big fish to catch, there were still a lot of small fish. A few small fish could keep Vlad full, but even Ozma could fill his teeth.

When Vlad returned to the beach carrying a few fish, Ozma was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, with various strange fruits piled up like a hill in front of her.

Vlad glanced at it and found that although these fruits were colorful and strange in shape, they did not contain anything like mushrooms. They could be eaten casually without being poisoned.

"Sorry Ozma, there are no big fish in this sea, so you have to eat more vegetarian food."

Hearing this, Ozma's mouth twitched, and she grabbed a handful of fruit and stuffed it into her mouth like a sulker.

Vlad blinked, feeling that he was indeed a bit unreasonable. He had worked so hard to swim so far, but in the end he couldn't even eat a bite of meat.

But this is force majeure, no wonder he.

She had no choice but to carry the fish and walk farther away, lest the smell of grilled fish would make Ozma even worse.

Just when Vlad grabbed the white fluffy creature standing on his clothes and turned away, he caught a glimpse of something with a white spiral pattern in the fruit mountain from the corner of his eye, which looked a bit like a devil fruit.

"Hey! Wait..."

Before he could stop her, Ozma had already grabbed a handful and stuffed the fruit that looked like a devil fruit into his mouth.

"Bah, bah, what's wrong?"

Ozma looked at him in confusion. Could it be that this guy had discovered his conscience and decided to become a vegetarian with her?

Vlad looked him over and said, "Do you feel any different now?"

"No." Ozma shook his head, "I just don't feel full."

"Ok."

Vlad nodded. Since he didn't feel anything, he probably saw it wrong.

He has been in this world for more than ten years, and has encountered a few people with abilities, but he has only seen one devil fruit. This thing is very rare.

Carrying the fish to the place where Ozma couldn't hear his voice, Vlad lit the firewood with a lighter and started grilling the fish.

"My cooking skills should be pretty good now, and I should be able to catch the eye of Thatch, the captain of the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates, so that I can start the next plan."

He was not talking to himself, the white furry creature standing on his shoulder was his audience.

This is Vlad’s pet Tuantuan, a hamster of the golden bear variety. Whenever Vlad wants to express his feelings, Tuantuan is his best confidant.

Surviving in this world is stressful, and having someone to talk to is a good way to vent, but Vlad doesn't trust anyone at all, so Tuantuan's existence is very important to him.

"I hope that the art jointly produced by mr.3 and miss.Golden Week can be authentic. This is the top priority of this project."

When Vlad entered the Grand Line from the Western Sea, his first choice was to sail to Whiskey Peak and enter the territory of the Baroque Working Society.

Baroque Co., Ltd. is a force established by King Shichibukai Crocodile. Its main business is to hunt pirates in exchange for bounties. Occasionally, it will pretend to be pirates and rob merchant ships.

A person like Vlad, who is alone and has no bounty on his head, doesn't have to worry about being targeted as long as he keeps a low profile.

And the artwork he found Mr. 3 and Miss. Golden Week to create was a Devil Fruit, the Dark Fruit!

Vlad didn't know why other people liked One Piece, but he liked One Piece because he liked all kinds of strange devil fruits.

When Enel appeared on the stage, he was thinking about how great it would be if he could get the Thunder Fruit.

Until the Dark Fruit appeared, Vlad had only one idea. If he could go to this world, he must get the Dark Fruit.

The abilities of the Dark Fruit are so cool!

It doesn't matter whether you are strong or not, being handsome is a lifelong matter!
