Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

Before he could finish speaking, Kobi, who had been lifted up by Huang Hai, sat on his arm with a completely bewildered expression.

"Stop spacing out, where's the medicine in the cabin?"

"In the third medical room inside..."

"Oh? You have a doctor on your ship?"

"No... I just prepared some standard medications..."

"Oh, I see. So where are the food storage and kitchen?"

"Uh...it's at the very back..."

"Okay! You heal your wounds first, I'll go find something to eat, I don't know why I'm suddenly getting hungrier and hungrier..."

"..."

And so, under Koby's speechless gaze, Huang Hai, having placed him in the infirmary, headed straight for the warehouse kitchen...

As time passed, the sky outside gradually darkened.

.......

Chapter Fourteen: Yearning!

……

Day and night alternate.

Day two.

On the vast, boundless sea.

A ship without any flags is drifting with the sea breeze and waves.

on board.

"How about it…"

④.① Looking at Koby, who was bandaged up but struggling to steer the ship, Huang Hai scratched his head and smiled, "Don't rush. If you get tired, just rest. There's plenty of time..."

"Moreover, all the supplies on the island have been collected, so we can hold out for about half a month."

“I understand…” Coby released the rudder, turned his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, “The injuries I suffered before were all superficial, I’m used to them, they don’t affect me much.”

"I'm so sorry to trouble you to give me a ride..."

"It's nothing, it's just on the way."

Huang Hai smiled and leaned against the side of the boat, gazing at the calm, undulating seascape.

"You saved me once, and I saved you once, so we're even, right? But if you really become a Marine, we might become enemies in the future..."

"..."

Hearing this, Koby was silent for a moment, then looked up at Huang Hai and said, "If that time really comes, Hai, you should have become much stronger by now. Even if you're an enemy, the outcome is predictable..."

"It was just a joke, no need to say such discouraging things."

Huang Hai smiled and said, "Don't worry, we've known each other for a while now. We'll see how things go..."

"that…"

As if struck by a thought, Koby asked curiously, "There's a question I've been thinking about all night, but I don't know if I should ask it..."

"Just say what you want to ask."

"Uh... is it because of that strange fruit that you and Abida have such strange abilities?"

"almost…"

Hearing this, Huang Hai thought for a moment and smiled, "Let me put it this way, the strange fruit you mentioned is actually called a 'Devil Fruit,' also known as a treasure of the sea, with a market value of over 1 million Berries..."

"Some say it's the incarnation of a sea demon; in any case, eating it will grant you different superpowers..."

"So this is ah."

Koby suddenly realized, "No wonder you guys fight so differently from ordinary pirates, it turns out it's the superpowers of demons!"

cough!

"You could say that."

Rolling his eyes, Huang Hai chuckled, "Take Alvida for example. The Devil Fruit she ate is the 'Smooth-Smooth Fruit,' a type of Paramecia fruit, which has the effects of increasing and decreasing friction, smoothing, and beautifying..."

"[Paranoia series]?"

Hearing this, Coby asked, somewhat confused, "Are there other different types of Devil Fruits?"

"You could say it's a lot, or you could say it's a little..."

Huang Hai smiled and explained, "Simply put, Devil Fruits can be divided into three categories: Paramecia, Zoan, and Logia..."

"There are many further classifications within these three main categories of Devil Fruit abilities. I only know a few specific details myself. The Navy should have detailed information on them. If you're interested, you can look it up yourself later..."

"Furthermore... the abilities of Devil Fruits are unique; no two Devil Fruits can be the same. There are no two fruits with identical abilities at the same time, only fruits with similar abilities..."

"Furthermore, unless the user dies, the Devil Fruit they ate will not reappear in the sea. For example, Alvida's Smooth-Smooth Fruit will randomly appear anywhere in the world after her death..."

Of course, it may also appear in the matching fruit nearby.

Huang Hai did not explicitly state this point.

After all, the other person's dream is to become a naval officer.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find any fruit with the strange spiral pattern last night, whether on the island, in the warehouse, or on the pirate ship.

This also means that he was unlucky; the Slippery Fruit did not appear in the vicinity.

That's pretty much the situation...

Huang Hai looked at Coby and smiled slightly, "If you want to quickly become a strong person, Devil Fruits are the most direct shortcut, especially Logia-type Devil Fruits. Just eating one will make you one of the strongest in the Navy..."

"[Natural] type, huh..."

Upon hearing this, Koby's eyes revealed a deep longing.

"Hai, now that you mention it, the [Logia type] must be an exceptionally powerful Devil Fruit ability."

"Hmm...you'll understand later."

Seeing this, Huang Hai smiled and said, "Of course, even if you don't eat a Devil Fruit, don't worry. After all, there are many people in this world who become top-tier powerhouses through their own efforts..."

Gudong!

Swallowing hard, Koby looked at Huang Hai with a hint of admiration and said, "Hai, isn't this your first time at sea? How do you know so much..."

Don't you watch the news?

Pointing to the sky, Huang Hai said with a smile, "Wherever there are ships and people, there will be news birds. As long as you give them some Beta, you'll get a copy of the World News Report..."

"Looking at it now, I was confused too. I always enjoyed fishing and never paid attention to these things..."

Scratching the back of his head, Coby sighed, "If only I had known all this sooner, I wouldn't have been stuck on that pirate ship for two years..."

"By the way, Hai! If you want to find the One Piece treasure, you should head to the Grand Line!"

"Hmm... I should say it's the only way, what's wrong?"

"I've heard people say before... that place is called the 'pirate graveyard,' a very terrifying place, and almost no one who goes there ever comes back..."

Koby looked wary and earnestly advised him.

"Besides, you don't know anything about navigation. You can't just hide in a wine barrel when you encounter a shipwreck, can you? You might not be so lucky to survive next time..."

"...I understand, I have experienced this firsthand."

A desperate image flashed through his mind, but Huang Hai remained calm and said, "Don't worry, I swore I would never again leave my life in the hands of fate..."

"Sending you back this time is one thing, but I also want to see if that guy who was locked up is really dead..."

Chapter Fifteen: Development!

"The guy who's locked up..."

After thinking for a moment, Coby exclaimed in surprise, "You mean... Roronoa Zoro, the one being held captive at the naval base?!"

"He...he's known as a terrifying man, like a devil! Do you want to find him...?"

"challenge?"

"They're partners..."

Huang Hai chuckled and shook his head.

“I ‘know’ him. If he were still alive, he would definitely be the first choice for our partner!”

Unless that guy is completely different from the character in the original work, if that's the case, I should have enough strength to kill him at this stage, right?

Of course, the premise is not to go too far.
