Chapter 348 Parting and Gifts
Outside the tidal island, to the southwest, a pirate ship is heading towards the tidal island.
On the hanging pirate flag, the skull opened a big mouth that reached up to its cheeks, revealing its white teeth, which was particularly ferocious. The man standing on the bow of the ship had an almost identical mouth.
He is a pirate who entered the Grand Line from the Western Sea. He has a bounty of 45 million Baileys. He has the ability to bite fruits. His name is Garfield the Big Mouth.
Looking at the outline of the island in the distance, he opened and closed his mouth and said: "Little ones, the tidal island is coming! Are you all ready?!"
“Oh!” Many people responded.
Only one person was worried: "Boss, I have heard about Tidal Island. The guards on that island are famous far and wide. It is said that all the pirates who dared to cause trouble on the island were caught. Are we..."
"Guards? What is that?" Big Mouth Garfield casually picked up a pan, chewed off a piece, spit it out, and said: "We are not even afraid of the navy! We just don't have enough iron tools that can be used to grind our teeth. , the guards all have swords, right?!"
“Hahahahaha…”
Half an hour later.
Residan looked at the shallow tooth marks on the saber with distress, and kicked the big-mouthed Garfield hard, who was tied to the ground like a dead dog.
"Asshole! This is the gift that the boss brought us when he returned from a long trip! Asshole! Asshole!"
“Hey, the eldest sister is angry...”
"very scary…"
The guards who were tying up other pirates who had been chopped to the ground were whispering to each other around them. Rexidan glanced at him: "What are you talking about? Move quickly! Have you notified the navy? Really, this kind of landing on the island begins. The plundering pirates are the biggest headache!”
“Notified! Notified!”
“Hmm—” Residan still had a frosty look on his face, and kicked Garfield a few more times, causing him to grunt miserably, and then walked aside with the knife in his hand.
At this time, a guard suddenly came from a distance, gasped and reported to Rexidan. Rexidan's face suddenly melted like ice and snow, showing a happy smile, and said: "You are responsible for keeping an eye on this, I have something to leave." One trip.”
Looking at her cheerful back, a new guard asked curiously: "What happened?"
The old guard shook his head and said: "What else can it be? The eldest sister's boss, our commander-in-chief, Lord Holo, has returned to the island."
“Lord Holo...” The recruit looked yearning.
On the other side, Rexidan ran all the way through the villages and towns and came to Ji Xing's home in Xiaochao Village.
Knocking on the door and entering, she said unexpectedly: "Fedorenko? Abe? Nata is also there..."
The seven people who initially learned swordsmanship from Ji Xing have been assigned to various parts of the tidal island as Ji Xing was promoted to chief constable. It was rare for them all to gather together, but now all seven of them are here.
Not only that, she found that the six people who arrived first were not in a high mood. Abe was sniffling, and Nata, who was almost 17 and had grown a lot, came over and gently hugged her arm when she saw her, which made her feel a little sad. bad feeling.
She raised her head and looked forward. Ji Xing, who was holding the phone bug, nodded to her and said to the phone bug: "Strange eagle? What kind of strange eagle? I haven't seen it before. Don't worry about it. It's probably some kind of bird or beast."
I happen to have something to tell you, Major General Lanez. I don’t know if you got the news or not, but Hawkeye has left Kra Island to travel and practice. I can’t be left behind by him. I also plan to go around and practice my sword.
Where to go... It’s not certain, and the time is also to be determined. It doesn’t matter where I go. I’ll come back when I feel homesick. There is no problem here on Tidal Island. I asked Residan and Fedorenko to take my place temporarily. Residan just killed a pirate with a bounty of 45 million. Have you received the news? "
The boss is going out? Time still to be determined?
Residan immediately understood why the other six people were in such a mood. He gently touched Nata's head and waited for Ji Xing to hang up the phone.
Ji Xing put down the phone and said with a smile, "Why do they all have such expressions?"
"Yes." Rexidan said, trying to clear away the discomfort in his heart: "The boss didn't say he wouldn't come back. Didn't he also leave for three months a year ago?"
“Sister Rexidan, you are late. I don’t know what the Sheriff brother said before.”
“Before?” Rexidan panicked.
Abe sniffed hard and said with a cry: "The boss said... The boss said he doesn't know what he will encounter when he goes out this time, and he won't necessarily attack anyone. Maybe he will kill a few people that the world government refuses to kill. The person was dismissed from his position as Chief Sheriff and became a wanted criminal..."
"What?!"
Ji Xing shook his head: "Don't hide half of me, Abe. Even if I am wanted, don't you recognize me as the boss? If I can't be the chief constable, I will come back.
Besides, that’s still not certain, let’s see what exactly I encounter during this trip. "
"Okay, okay, I didn't call you here just to see your awkward faces." Ji Xing came into the room and presented a baggage, unfolding it: "There are some things here for you. Be careful, everyone. Nothing on the sea can take them away from me. Lives, but don't wait for me to come back, you are missing several.
Four-handled knives, similar in quality to your current sabers, use them when necessary.
Ji Xing looked at the seven people in front of him.
It can be regarded as a year and a half of scattered training from him and Hawkeye, as well as sparring with baboons. In addition, I have some foundation in the past, and my strength is pretty good. Among them, Rexidan and Fedorenko have initially mastered domineering, and can easily deal with pirates with a normal bounty of less than 50 million. The subjugated princess Nata has a tendency to catch up with them as she grows older, and is now ranked third.
At the end of the crane is Abe.
There is no reason to talk about talent. Sometimes hard work cannot make up for it, and Abe didn't work harder than the other six people. Naturally, he gradually changed from the senior brother to the last one, and the worse he got, the worse he got.
Although this boy has an optimistic personality, he still occasionally gets frustrated when faced with this situation. After all, he is the younger brother who initially followed him...
"Abe, you can eat it." Ji Xing said, "Don't say that I, the boss, am being treated unfairly. If anyone still wants to become a capable person, tell me now. When I get extra fruit, I will give him one. "
“Boss!” Abe cried bitterly: “You are so good to me, woo woo woo…”
Ji Xing has a Devil Fruit in his hand. Everyone knows it. After all, they often come to Ji Xing's house to help clean it. They have seen it before, but no one is curious to touch it.
The six people outside Abe looked at each other and shook their heads.
“I don’t need it, boss.”
“Yeah, let’s just practice swordsmanship.”
“It’s okay for Abe, he’s too weak!”
"Obviously he is the weakest, but he always rushes to the front every time the pirates come. I am always worried that he will be hacked to death. Becoming an esper can make everyone feel at ease..."
“How many of you?!” Abe was moved and angry: “Nata, you are laughing too!”
“I didn’t, Brother Abe…Kuku…”
“You…uhhhhh…”
Ji Xing popped the Devil Fruit into his mouth, let him take a bite, and then tapped his chin to make him swallow: "Let's see what the effect is?"
“Ugh...bah, bah, bah! It tastes bad!”
Abe choked back his snot and tears. When he saw everyone staring at him, he pondered for a few seconds, blinked, and suddenly there was a layer of light yellow oil on his pointed chin face: "Well... this..."
“This, what is this...”
“It looks so disgusting…”
A little bit of oil dripped from Abe's face. He dipped some of it with his hand and licked it, which made Ji Xing even twist his eyebrows.
"It seems to be an oily fruit..." Abe hesitated: "Essential oil, used for...cooking? What is this? Boss!"
“Cooking?!”
“vomit…”
“Absolutely, absolutely no one will cook with the kind of oil you made!”
Abe cried again immediately, but found that his tears had turned into light yellow oil. He looked at Ji Xing with a sad face: "Boss, I don't seem to have the destiny to become a strong man..."
Ji Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There are no weak fruits, only weak people. Exercise and develop well. Think about it when you spread a layer of oil on the ground in an instant. Will it make the enemy unable to stand?" ?and…"
Ji Xing drew his sword out of its sheath—the flaming sword!
A tongue of fire waved on the blade, and it suddenly became more intense when it touched the oil droplets dripping on the ground.
“As expected, it can be burned, and it may have miraculous effects when combined with fire attacks.” Ji Xing was a little surprised. This...may be called a strategic fruit.
“It seems I have to leave a few days late to study the properties of the oil you created.”
Everyone was overjoyed, and Abe was surprised. I can still be used in such a way?
…
One week later.
Ji Xing was reluctant to say goodbye to the drained Abe and the other six people, and took off in an aircraft equipped with new spare fuel.
The celestial phenomena in the new world are weird and not suitable for the first voyage test. A crash will be very distressing, so before heading to the new world...
“Let’s go to Donghai, Novice Village first.”
Yang has returned, but not completely. I have something to go out in the evening, and the second update is expected to be a little underworld, so try to do it before ten o'clock.
Also, a million words of flowers! In the past, a million words was enough for me to prepare for the ending, but this one... is still early.
