Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

The vast sea appears golden under the glow of the rising sun.

In an area of ​​sea where there is no village in front and no shop behind, a figure is sitting cross-legged on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.

This person was Jerry. He was looking straight ahead, muttering something in his mouth and whispering something.

"There really wasn't a single fish in that river last night? Could it be because they had cleaned it out the last time I came here to fish?"

"How stingy! Fortunately, I caught a mermaid."

"Well... now I have the bead, but the hole hasn't flashed yet. What should I do?" Jerry glanced at the system prompt record from last night. As he spoke, he looked at the system interface with his consciousness, staring at the only empty groove left in the lotus pod.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the second fishing mission in Marijoa.]

[Reward: Wall-breaking Bead. ]

After thinking for a while, he still had no clue, so he turned his eyes to the four filled holes next to him, corresponding to the four skills respectively.

"Before, I was blind, now I am blind..." Jerry complained, muttering, "Are there any other skills that can be upgraded?"

He flipped through the panels randomly, and finally stopped at the interface inside the lotus pod. In his mind, he unconsciously played with the bead that he had obtained last night for completing the task by catching a mermaid.

"Make a three-pointer and break the season record!" After racking his brains to no avail, Jerry started talking to himself and entertaining himself again.

Just as he once again threw the Wall-Breaking Bead like a basketball, drawing a beautiful arc and falling right into the center of the still dim groove, Jerry had already imagined himself clenching his hands, waiting to catch the bead that was about to bounce back.

However, what shocked him was that the bead did not fly back like it did when it first touched the groove after the lotus pod opened. Instead, it was stuck directly into the hole, as if it had belonged there originally and was embedded firmly.

"What the hell!? Isn't this just like that crappy arcade machine that eats up your coins?"

Jerry excitedly used his consciousness to try to pick out the bead, but found helplessly that it was in vain. The bead was like a steely straight man facing the temptation of soap and was not moved at all.

This scene made him break out in a cold sweat: "Give me some reaction! Could it be that the crappy system has crashed? Where is the universal restart button?"

Jerry noticed that the moment the bead got stuck in the hole, the crappy system gave him the feeling that something had gone wrong and it suddenly froze, and even if he wanted to switch to look at other interfaces, he was unable to do so.

"Hmm... I can't find the restart and switch. According to the rules for repairing old machines, I should either use a broom and mop, or just do it myself?" Jerry murmured, raising his hand and slapping it directly on his head.

"Oh!"

【The end of the play...】

【…】

【…】

"Ah? What the hell?" Jerry was confused again when he saw a string of text that suddenly popped up in the system after all his trouble.

I saw this string of words flashing quickly, and then suddenly turned into garbled code that kept jumping.

After a brief confusion, he finally managed to come up with a decent sentence.

【Ding! 】

[It is detected that you have completed all tasks in the task chain, and the free breakthrough limit is enabled. ]

At this moment, the wall-breaking beads embedded in five positions in the lotus pod all emitted dazzling light.

These rays of light connected together and slowly converged into a line, at which point a five-pointed star pattern clearly appeared.

"Hmm... restored?" Jerry stared at the system prompt and flipped through other interfaces to confirm that everything was functioning normally.

Then, he looked at the pentagram inside the lotus pod, but found no clues.

In order to find the hidden clues, Jerry fumbled for a long time, and then changed from tapping here and there to swiping here and there.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, his body trembled, as if he had some kind of resonance with the surrounding sea.

The vast sea area that was originally relatively calm began to surge violently. In an instant, huge waves surged up and reached heights of hundreds or thousands of meters.

Jerry's eyes flashed, and the restless sea water quickly calmed down.

He turned his head and looked up at the red earth continent that reached the sky not far away, chuckled, and then continued to look at the lotus interface.

Just now, it was because Jerry had moved the azure bead corresponding to the "Sea King" skill along the line of the pentagram to the newly added colorful bead that he couldn't help but explode from the inside out, causing such a big commotion in the outside world.

"In other words, can I now choose any ability to achieve a breakthrough?"

Soon, after repeated trials, Jerry came to a conclusion.

"What if I drag it over from here?" Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and his eyes went straight to a column that had been lying in the corner but was of great use.

"Hehe, it really works." After swiping twice, Jerry clenched his fist, feeling the power coming to a higher level. The corner of his mouth tilted up to the sky, and he disappeared into the sea in a flash.

……

Fishman Island, the temporary base of the Kuroko Pirates.

Seeing Jerry swaggering out of the hall, Scar pointed at the latest newspaper that he got from some unknown source and shouted, "Boss Jerry! Did you do this?"

"Aha, I know nothing. I stayed in Fishman Island and had fun until dawn. I have an alibi." Jerry yawned, glanced at the headline of the newspaper, and waved his hand.

I saw several big headlines on the most eye-catching page of the newspaper.

"Shock! Marijoa is invaded by unknown creatures!"

"The Celestial Dragons died tragically in Marijoa!"

"From the liberation of the mermaid slaves, guess the purpose of the invaders!"

Scar turned his head and looked at the other Jerry who appeared at the entrance of the hall like a ghost, and pointed two fingers at his eyes: "Don't give me that, your split action may be hidden from outsiders but not from me!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm going to go back and have a good rest, waiting for the show to begin." As he said that, the "Jerry" in the hall quietly disappeared. Jerry, who came in from the door, blinked, took a step and rushed into the room like a flying step.

Scar was speechless, then turned his head to look at the empty corridor, then looked back at Brooke in the hall: "Brooke, they are all out, aren't you going?"

"I..." Brooke was about to respond, but saw a fat figure rushing towards him like a gust of wind.

"Where's Jerry!?"

The sound came before the person arrived. A fat blue man appeared in the hall with a menacing look. His expression was angry and a little weird. He turned his head and looked around, roaring loudly.

"Jinbei? What's wrong?" Scar and Brook asked in unison.

Jinbei looked at them, took a few deep breaths, and after seemingly calming down, he threw a recent newspaper on the table and spoke slowly: "There is no doubt that he did it."

"Uh...what's wrong? Didn't you help rescue a mermaid?" Scar and Brook looked at each other, then turned their heads to look at Jinbei curiously.

"I'm very grateful for that." Jinbei nodded solemnly.

Then, he looked strange, and after changing several expressions, he couldn't help but roared: "But this is not a reason for him to talk nonsense!"

Hearing this, Scar immediately moved a stool over and sat down, looking like he was just eating melons: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Tell me, and I'll help you scold him!"

"Ahem... Anyway, I don't know what he said, but that mermaid girl is sticking to me now..." Jinbei clenched his fists, then unconsciously loosened them, and it was obvious that he was in a very complicated mood.
