The Supreme Swordsman of Pirates

Chapter 18 Shipwreck Treasure
In the year 1507 of the Haiyuan calendar, the headquarters of the Navy, Marin Vanduo, and the port.

Karp sat on the ground staring at the sea, and said to himself in doubt: "It's strange, the kid is always on time, why didn't he come up so late today."

Suddenly, a huge shadow broke out of the water, rushed into the air, and exploded a large spray.

"Ah! Boy Zhong Hao, it's a bit late today." Karp saw the figure rushing out, stood up and said loudly.

Zhong Hao jumped over and landed firmly in front of Karp, threw the seven or eight meter long sea fish on the ground, and said, "I kept you waiting, teacher, because I just discovered a strange thing."

Garp carried the fish tail, threw it on the cart beside him, and pushed the cart towards the island. When passing by the soldiers on duty, Zhong Hao raised his hand to say hello.

In March, I walked with Garp every day, and the people in the Navy headquarters basically got to know each other. Everyone knew that he was Garp's new disciple. Because of the respect for Garp and the indulgence of the Warring States Period, As a result, most of the unclassified places can be left for him to walk.

For this reason, Akainu protested to Sengoku more than once.

Garp asked curiously, "Oh? What did you find?"

Zhong Hao replied: "Ship sinking, warship sinking."

Garp shook his head, "Is there anything unusual about a warship sinking?"

Zhong Hao shook his head, "The shipwreck looks old, and I have been to the seabed where the shipwreck was found, but I haven't been there before."

Garp pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, maybe the ocean current threw it out of its original position."

Zhong Hao: "Current?"

Karp stopped, pointed sideways in two directions, and said: "Navy Headquarters, Judiciary Island, and Advance City just form a triangle, with a straight-line channel between each other, and in the middle of the triangle is a huge whirlpool that never stops. When the door of justice is opened, the currents of the sea will change, and perhaps it is the changing currents that push the sunken ships that were originally stored in other places to the position you mentioned little by little."

Zhong Hao nodded to express his understanding, and said: "I plan to enter the sunken ship tomorrow to see what I find, maybe there is treasure."

Garp said: "There is no treasure on the warship, let other navies salvage it, why waste so much effort."

Zhong Hao jumped on the cart, sat on the sea fish, and let Garp push him away: "It doesn't matter whether there is any treasure or not, what matters is the process of treasure hunting and the surprise of finding the treasure. Anyway, the teacher is fine, come with me tomorrow let's go."

Garp grinned and said: "It seems very interesting, then the old man will accompany you there, and experience the fun of treasure hunting."

……

Early the next morning, the master and apprentice came to a beach after breakfast.

Garp took off his shirt, revealing his explosive muscles, and buckled a breathing air bubble on his head.

Garp was puzzled by Zhong Hao's ability to move freely in the sea without breathing, and even guessed whether he had murloc blood.But thinking about it again, the murloc only has the ability to breathe in water, not without breathing, which overturns this guess.

"Teacher, I will lead the way." Zhong Hao jumped into the sea first, followed by Karp.

Soon, Zhong Hao and Karp came to the sunken ship one after the other. After Karp made a gesture, they entered the sunken ship through two holes, and each searched for half of it.

Zhong Hao entered the sunken ship through a hole in the deck, and found bones in the ruined cabin, scattered and floating, none of them intact. Judging from the shape, they were human bones, which should be left by dead naval soldiers .There are many rusty long knives and muskets underneath, which are no longer usable.

Searching in the ruins all the way, finally, I found a fairly complete skeleton in a corner. The skeleton was wrapped in a tattered suit, covered with a navy coat, and holding a blue long knife in the bone of the hand.

The knife is 1.1 meters long and weighs about eight catties. The blade is slightly thinner, but only one finger and a half wide. It is covered with black patterns like waves. At first glance, it looks a bit like the Miao knife from the previous life.The strange thing is that this knife has been soaked in seawater for so long, but there is no trace of rust. It seems to be extraordinary.

After taking off the knife, he held it in his hand and stroked it carefully for a while, with a look of love on his face.After that, I searched around again, and found the scabbard under a pile of ruins on the other side.

A sea current surged past, lifting a corner of the overcoat on the skeleton, revealing the tattered suit inside, Zhong Hao cast his gaze away, and could see something inside from the hole in the suit.

Tear open the tattered suit and take out the things hidden against the bones.

It was a picture scroll, opened the picture scroll, and under the faint light from the aquatic plants, a sea chart was revealed in front of the eyes, with a red cross drawn in the middle of the sea chart.Turning over the scroll, there are some small characters written on the back, which cannot be seen clearly underwater.

Then put the picture scroll into the space, and only look at it when I go back.

After searching for a while and finding nothing of value, Zhong Hao walked out of the shipwreck along the way he came, and met Karp who also just came out. Karp looked excited, holding a box the size of a freezer.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and swam to the surface of the sea.

After landing, the two put on dry clothes.

Garp saw the knife in Zhong Hao's hand, and thought, "Did you discover this knife? It seems familiar."

Zhong Hao handed the knife over, Garp held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, after a while he suddenly said: "It turned out to be Bazel, no wonder."

"Teacher know?" Zhong Hao said.

"Well, Bazel, the young major general of the headquarters, a powerful swordsman, this sword belongs to him. About seven or eight years ago, Bazel suddenly disappeared, and he never appeared again. Invading Marlin Vandor, the headquarters once speculated that he encountered the golden lion on the way back to the headquarters and was killed, and now it seems that this is the case." Garp said.

Zhong Hao suggested: "Open the box first, maybe there will be some clues inside."

Garp rubbed his hands excitedly, and laughed loudly: "This is the first time this old man has found a treasure."

The lock on the chest was rotten, and a slight tug would have torn it off.

When I opened the box, I saw that there was a layer of paper paste on the top of the box. It should be Baileys and other banknotes. sparkle.

"There is really treasure." Karp said in surprise.Then he dumped the treasures in the trash and casually dumped them on the ground, covering the floor with gold coins and precious stones, revealing a small box.

Zhong Hao picked up the small box and held it in his hands. There was no lock on it, and he opened it casually. A fruit that looked like a papaya with dark yellow patterns on the surface came into view.

"This is... a devil fruit?" Garp leaned over, took the fruit in his hand, squeezed it and handed it back to Zhong Hao.

Zhong Hao held it in his hand, threw it on the pile of treasures after a couple of tosses, lacking interest.

Karp said with a confused expression: "You don't want to eat it? I heard it's delicious."

"Teacher, don't lie to me. I heard Smoker say that the taste of devil fruit is worse than poop, although I don't understand why he would use poop as a metaphor. And after eating, it will turn into a landlubber. It's not a waste My ability to swim underwater?" Zhong Hao pulled out half of the blue long knife and observed the texture of the knife, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"A bunch of treasures worth over [-] million yuan, a devil fruit, and a knife. Well, it seems that these are the harvests, and the treasure hunt is meaningless. It's over so soon." Garp curled his lips and said.

"That's because the teacher doesn't pay much attention to property. If it's a pirate, I'm afraid I'm going to have a three-day banquet with excitement."

"It seems that Major General Bazel got these treasures and devil fruits after killing the pirates, and encountered a golden lion on the way back." Garp punched his palm, affirming his face.

Zhong Hao asked: "Teacher, since you know Major General Bazel, you should know the name of this knife, right?"

Garp nodded and said: "This knife is one of the fifty good knives of Hague. It is said that this knife contains the energy of the sea. In fact, it is not so magical. It is just that sea stones were added during forging."

"It just happened that the previous knife was damaged. This Hague is just what I want. With it, my strength should be able to improve. Every time I think of the battle with Smoker that day, I feel extremely aggrieved and have been passively beaten. , I have no strength to fight back, now I’m fine, I can’t wait to beat him up.”

"Jihe · Draw the sword and cut"

Hague pulled out the scabbard like lightning, and slashed a silver-white slash towards the distant sea. The slash cut through the sea surface, cutting a 25-meter-long, one-meter-deep ravine. Only then began to fill the gully.

Previously, the furthest distance was 15 meters. After equipped with Hague, it can cut 25 meters, and the cuts are sharper.Seeing this effect, Zhong Hao nodded with satisfaction, and secretly said: "With this knife, the overall strength is definitely not weaker than that of the lieutenant colonel of the Navy headquarters, but we need to fight to know the outcome."

Put Hague back into the scabbard and hold it in his hand.

It has been a year since I came to this world. Due to the abnormal abundance of food, my height has grown from 1.15 meters to 1.3 meters.Therefore, the length of his arm is just enough to pull out Hague with a blade length of 1 meter without getting stuck.

At this time, Zhong Hao seemed to be suffering from ADHD, pulling out the knife from time to time to touch the blade, and the smile on his face couldn't stop, "By the way, does the teacher know what ability this devil fruit is?"

Garp took the devil fruit in his hand and said: "I don't remember, but I seem to have seen it in the devil fruit illustration book, and I will look it up after I go back. However, the old man does not recommend that you eat it. Although the devil fruit can bring powerful The ability, but the weakness is too fatal."

Zhong Hao nodded solemnly, and said, "Don't worry, teacher, I really like the feeling of swimming in the sea, and I don't want to become a landlubber."

But I was thinking in my heart: "There are so many powerful cultivation systems, and a fool will not fall into a fatal weakness for the sake of temporary strength. Besides, swordsmanship, physical skills, and domineering are not weaker than Devil Fruit."

Garp grinned in satisfaction, and said: "I don't want these treasures anymore. If you want them, you can put them away. It doesn't matter if you don't throw them here. However, it's better to put away the devil fruit, maybe it will be useful someday. "

Zhong Hao nodded, put his hand on the pile of gold coins and precious stones, and with a "swipe", the treasure was emptied in an instant, and he put it on the devil fruit again, doing the same thing.

When he was done, he saw Garp's wide eyes and grinned.
