Chapter 5: Isn’t it a good shark?

Speaking of the world of One Piece, the most desirable, and the first one to jump into people’s minds, must be the strange fruit that is called the treasure of the sea, and I don’t know where it comes from, with various mysterious powers, it can make earth-shaking changes in the life of an ordinary person.

Devil Fruit.

This is the name given to this fruit by the people of this world. Even if this name is in the desire for the devil, it is also a fear of its price.

Give you special power, and then deprive you of a skill that you can possess. This is the ability of Devil Fruit. After swallowing it, it is insulated from the ocean and becomes a dry duck that can’t learn to swim anyway, no matter how much you flutter in the water, you can’t float.

In this ocean-dominated world, this punishment, or a curse, can be considered quite serious. But most of the people in this world who go to sea are still eager for it.

The legend of Devil Fruit may be just a false legend for people living in the world.

It’s just like the Earth. Like Klaken, the sea monster, that likes to attack merchant ships and pull ships to the deepest part of the abyss, there are legends about it. There are as many as the gods, but no matter how real the sailors say, and how widespread the legend is, they have never really been seen with their own eyes, and they can only be dubious about this legend.

After all, the North Sea is just the North Sea, not a great route with complex and changeable conditions and strange environments.

From the comparison between the bounty of pirates from all over the world and the bounty of those pirates on the Great Voyage, it is easy to see the gap. With a bounty of more than ten million Baileys, you can dominate the East China Sea, one of the four seas. But in the great route, it is not surprising that the pirates with this bounty are not as many as the stars, but they are also abounded.

The devil tree, which forms devil fruit, seems to be produced in a certain deep sea on the great route.

In the One Piece comics, the Devil Fruit does not seem to be unusual. If you walk to a certain area casually, you can run into a demon capable person who has taken the Devil fruit. But it can only be said that it is the luck of those protagonists.

This is a matter of probability. If you want to meet a demon fruit capable person from time to time like the protagonists, I’m afraid it’s only possible on the great Route.

But obviously, Xiao Bai was lucky. As the one-horned shark Marco, who only dominates the North Sea and is offering a bounty of 40 million Baileys, is an animal demon fruit capable person.

He had already transformed when he slashed at Xiao Bai with a serrated knife. His originally tall and sturdy body had expanded to more than 3 meters high after activating the Devil Fruit ability, and the appearance has completely become a monster.

This is a strange creature that resembles a human form but is different from a human form. There is a kind of bright red, uncomfortable fish scale all over the body. The figure has the vague characteristics of a human form, but the head is of a fish, with huge, protruding eyeballs that never close. On both sides of the neck, there are trembling gills, long hands and feet are webbed, and there are high barbed ridges on the back. The unusually large pupils of the eyes showed a pale golden colour, overflowing with an indescribable anger.

“Haha, is the crow that killed the iron hook Jadley, little monkey? It’s so disappointing. My punch is enough to blow a truck. For a kid like you, I can crush him to death with one finger…Because I am the legendary devil fruit capable person, the goldfish of the fish fruit, Marco.”

With an arrogant roar, Marco slightly bent his strong legs full of red iron scales, his powerful muscles swelled abnormally, and his whole body shot out like an arrow from the string. With just one jump, it exceeded 20 meters, and instantly appeared on Xiao Bai’s head, and a serrated knife slashed with force.

The sound of breaking the wind roared, this knife’s weigh was more than a thousand catties!

However, Xiao Bai didn’t flash or avoid it. He just stood there, as if he hadn’t seen it, and let the goldfish attack Marco’s serrated knife, but just when the knife was less than ten centimetres away from his head, an index finger suddenly appeared, against the big knife.

Marco exhausted his strength, but he couldn’t get in anyway, and his face changed drastically.

“Hey, what about the big shark? Aren’t you Marco, the one-horned shark? Why are you just a little golden fish?” Xiao Bai smiled disappointingly.

“Asshole, I also think it’s a shark fruit. But to deal with you, the goldfish has enough power.” After speaking, the blue veins in Marco’s arm holding the knife leaked out, and a huge force that was even more powerful came from the serrated knife.

“Is this the power you are proud of?” Xiao Bai shook his head, his tone was full of playfulness: “Then let you see what is the real power.”

While speaking, Xiao Bai’s index finger was drawn back, and Marco’s body suddenly swooped forward uncontrollably. At the same time, Xiao Bai turned sideways, drew an arc with his right foot in mid-air, and kicked Marco heavily on the back.

Just listening to the click, Marco’s entire back sank suddenly, and then fell to the ground heavily. Just listening to the sound, he knew that his spine was to be anymore, but the powerful vitality of the animal capable person kept him alive.

“I am very curious, whether the animal devil fruit capable person of the fish-human race can swim.” Xiao Bai squatted down and grabbed Marco’s right leg with his right hand. Marco hadn’t been able to think about the meaning of Xiao Bai’s words, only to feel that his body was suddenly grabbed, his feet and heart left the deck, and he was thrown into the sea by Xiao Bai under a howl of panic mixed with a sense of weightlessness.

“Damn, if I were a shark fruit, you would be like this…” Marco, who was thrown into the sea, hadn’t spoken harshly yet, as if he had lost all his strength, he slowly sank into the sea.

“I wish to be a shark in the next life.” This is the last consciousness of Marco, who is longing for the shark’s goldfish fruit ability.

Seeing Marco, who was unwilling, sinking weakly into the sea, Xiao Bai stood up, looked at the pirate standing at a loss because the captain was killed, and said with a smile: “Is this okay? Although I don’t know if Marco, who is a goldfish, can breathe in the water, he doesn’t seem to be able to beat me.”

“So, according to the rules of pirates, do you want to die or survive?”

……

“Let’s do what the pirates should do next. If you have treasures, you can distribute them as you want.” Xiao Bai said to the crew members who had not recovered: “Just follow in my footsteps and you will have what you want one day.”

“Long live Captain Xiao Bai!!!”

Xiao Bai leaned against the edge of the boat, looking at the slightly turbulent sea.

“The world has begun to fluctuate, no matter who it is, it can’t escape, and the alternation of times is coming, no matter what, be a pirate”. An inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Bai’s mouth: “Isn’t it interesting to constantly eliminate the weak, and then slowly form a situation where several strong people rule one side?”
