Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

It took an hour for the two of them to finish their meal.

Gerard was still cleaning up and sweeping the floor, while Hancock was resting in a rocking chair under the crooked tree in the yard.

"Gerald, will I get too fat if I eat so much?" Hancock frowned and touched her belly. She had eaten a lot of barbecue tonight and was worried that her figure would be out of shape.

"No, it's better to eat more. Eating more proves that the body has great potential! Besides, we consume a lot of energy in practice every day, so there is no chance for us to gain weight." Gerard stopped waving the broom and turned around and said.

"That's right. I'm always hungry after training! By the way, Jellal, you just said you had something to say after eating. What is it?" Hancock turned her head to look at Jellal.

"I'm thinking that the way we practice isn't a good idea. With our current rate of strength growth, practicing on Nine Snake Island is too restrictive and we simply can't carry out our practice. So why don't we find an uninhabited island in the Calm Belt? That way we don't have to worry about damage." Gerald said as he cleaned the place.

Both of his devil fruits are of the large-scale attack type. As they are developed more and more deeply, Nine Snake Island will definitely not be able to withstand Jellal's attack.

Now is the best opportunity to improve his strength, and Gerard doesn't want to waste it.

"Maybe not. I have to learn how to handle government affairs with Grandma New every day. In the future, I will be the queen of Amazon Lily." Hancock said with some distress.

She was unhappy at the thought of not being able to go out with Jellal, but as the heir to the empress, she had to take care of the kingdom's affairs.

"Uh... That's right. Then I can only go out and practice by myself. Now if I use my Cold Fruit at its full strength, it can cause great damage to the Nine Snake Island."

Jellal almost forgot that Granny New wanted to train Hancock to become the empress of the kingdom!

She is not as free as herself.

"How long will you be gone? If you stay too long, I will be worried about you."

Hancock pursed her lips slightly, seeming unhappy that Jellal went out to practice alone, but she had no reason to object.

"It should take quite some time. We are now at an age where our strength can improve the fastest. We can't waste it. But I will come back to see you often!"

After cleaning, Jellal poured two more glasses of juice and came to Hancock.

"Here, have a glass of juice to cool down."

Hancock's mouth was puffed up, and she took the juice but didn't drink it.

Jellal smiled and said nothing. He finished the juice in a few gulps before saying, "Hancock, this world is far more evil than we imagined. We are pirates, not the navy who are our enemies, the same goes for pirates!

So we must have enough strength!

I don’t mean to defeat everyone, but I have to be able to protect myself!

The future of Nine Snake Island can only be depended on by the two of us, so we have to work many times harder than others!"

Hancock stood up and looked at Gerard, then drank the juice in one gulp and said, "Of course I know. Don't worry, I've worked just as hard as anyone else! I'm going back now and will come to see you off tomorrow."

Jellal watched Hancock leave silently, then turned back to the house to rest.

Now that Jellal's physical strength has improved, he must intensify his training.

His swordsmanship and domineering aura require diligent practice, and he also needs to develop the Thunder Fruit and the Cold Fruit.

Especially the Thunder Fruit, it must be developed to awakening!

The development of the Thunder Fruit has caused too much noise, so he needs a place where no one will disturb him to practice!

The next day, Gerard woke up early and packed his luggage, putting his backpack on the back rack of a bicycle.

This time he plans to ride his bike to other islands in the Calm Belt!

Everything was ready. Gerard walked out of the yard and rode all the way to the coast, where he saw Hancock already waiting for him.

Next to Hancock was an extra-large package.

"Jellard, these are all spare clothes for you. And this is a nautical chart near the Nine Snake Islands. Many islands are marked on it. Remember not to leave this sea area too far. Granny New said that there will be extra-large sea kings in this sea area, and no one dares to set foot there easily. Do you understand?" Hancock frowned and glared at Jellal.

"I understand, thank you Hancock, I won't go to those places!" Gerald quickly assured.

Hancock's expression was very serious, more serious than he had ever seen her before, with deep brows and eyes, revealing a bit of coldness.

Extra-large sea kings, that kind of monster has already developed intelligence, and Jellal really has no way to deal with it now.

"I'm leaving, Hancock!" Carrying the package prepared by Hancock, Gerard got on his bicycle and headed towards the beach.

"Well! Be careful! And you said you would come back to see me often!"

Watching Jellal leave, Hancock clenched her hands in worry, praying that Jellal was safe.

"I will! Hancock, you should also work hard!" Gerald rode his bicycle without looking back, raised his left hand and waved to the back.

The moment the bicycle was about to touch the sea water, the sea surface under the wheels began to freeze instantly, and the waves that came towards it turned into ice flowers as they approached the bicycle!

Hancock on the coast looked at Jellal worriedly until he could no longer be seen.

Following the direction indicated on the nautical chart, Gerard rode on the sea for a whole day before he found a suitable island.

The island is dotted with towering mountains and lush trees. There are also many animals, and various large beasts are very active!

Jellal looked at the island in front of him with a slight smile on his face. There would be no shortage of food now!

After building a wooden house on the coast and putting his luggage away, Gerard dived into the dense forest.

As soon as we stepped into the edge of the forest, animals began to get agitated, with all kinds of calls coming one after another, and even the roars of large beasts coming from deep in the forest!

When Gerard heard the roars of these beasts, he suddenly felt his blood boiling!

He used his Observation Haki to lock onto a large beast, drew out his Snow Drinking Sword and quickly rushed in!

"Roar!!!"

The beast seemed to have sensed Gerard's approach and felt that its dominance in the forest was challenged, so it began to roar like thunder!

At this moment, almost all animals responded, and various animals roared continuously!

The other animals began to slowly gather towards Gerald!

After discovering this situation, Jellal did not hesitate and directly released his domineering aura!

He doesn't have time to waste with this food!

At this time, almost all animals stopped approaching Gerard, and panic spread in the dense forest!

They didn't dare run towards Gerard anymore!

Gerard smiled contemptuously.

A beast is a beast!
