a scientific pirate

Chapter 157 Unknown Land
As for the deal with the old prisoner, Mo Fei's heart was actually more serious than the curiosity he showed on the outside. Therefore, after leaving the city of advancement and completing the report in G1, his first For a while, I was going to take a look at the coordinates given by the other party.

The approximate location of this coordinate is located in the east of the capital of seven waters, close to the legendary "Sea of ​​​​Dense Fog", because it is also within the great route, and it can be regarded as being close to the red earth continent on this side, so this location cannot be regarded as far away.

If it was too far away, Mo Fei couldn't ask the warship to go there.

It's just that according to the navigator who is familiar with the charts on the ship, there seems to be no islands at that location... There are not even desert islands, so there is no permanent record pointer.

In the absence of a corresponding record pointer, it is a bit troublesome to go there by "angle positioning"...but it is just a little trouble.The capabilities of the world government and the navy are, after all, different from bulk pirates.

As for the possible "overdue" issue of the warship coming to meet Mo Fei, Major Tepesh Neil has already reported to the G23 base according to Mo Fei's instructions.In his report, he claimed that the new brigadier general was going to give priority to familiarizing himself with the surrounding sea area before returning to the base to report... This is a serious and responsible attitude that is actively engaged in work, which shows that although Mo Fei is a very young brigadier general, His work attitude is down-to-earth and down-to-earth, not superficial.

Therefore, the base will agree to this application in a reasonable way.

Well, in theory, it is, but who would have thought that this guy would take a warship on a "tour".

Since Tepesh was sent to meet Mo Fei, there is a high probability that his work arrangement for the next period of time will be to serve as Mo Fei's deputy, and his position actually started with lying and fooling his superiors... Brigadier General Mr. Tai simply ignores the internal discipline of the Navy.

Well, the more capable a sea soldier is, the more he will "do his own thing". Mo Fei's so-called familiarity with the surrounding sea area is not completely wrong.Naval commanders must of course be familiar with hydrology. Can one be considered a qualified commander if one does not understand hydrology?
It's just that the scope of Mo Fei's "familiarity" has deviated a little bit.

…………

Mo Fei didn't use his fruit ability, so it took about a week before the warship arrived at the coordinates he gave.However, looking around, here is just an ordinary, endless sea.

The lookouts on the ship looked around, but they couldn't see anything.

Really nothing?Even if there is an island reef, it is fine... According to the old prisoner, the pirate enemy he entrusted Mo Fei to deal with is at this coordinate.

Before, Mo Fei thought that the coordinates he got were a small island where people could live in seclusion. If there was no one on the island, there should at least be a tombstone.

But the strange thing is that there is nothing around.

After the warship circled around here for quite a while, the voice of the watchman searching for nothing came from the mast, "Commander Alindel, there is nothing around here...well, except for a piece of coral reef."

The added sentence behind the watchman caught Mo Fei's attention.

"Coral reef?" Mo Fei was stunned for a moment, and then he ordered, "Come closer."

Major Tepesh reluctantly conveyed Mo Fei's order. At this time, he felt that he had already guessed what Mo Fei was doing... The purpose of searching for an unknown island in an unknown place is not self-evident ?
The warship slowed down slowly, and finally approached a large area of ​​plants spreading out on the sea... It looked like a coral reef from a distance, but it was not.However, there should be reefs under the plants. The plants growing on the sea are not floating algae, but some kind of woody plants.

"strangeness……"

After the warship broke down here and the ship stopped, Tepesh looked at the plant and couldn't help muttering softly.

"What's so strange?"

Mo Fei asked back, he thought the other party saw something... If it was just plants growing in the sea, it was not a strange thing.

"No, it's nothing, it's just... I just haven't seen this kind of plant." Tepesh said. Although he is not a naturalist, he can be sure that the plants in front of him are not common plants.

"Have you never seen..."

Mo Fei fell silent, and after a while, he spoke again, "The boat is temporarily parked here, please be careful, I'll go down and have a look."

Tsepesh wanted to talk about something, but in the end he endured it... If you don't see the treasure, you will not give up if you don't see it with your own eyes, after all, it has already reached the predetermined position.

So the next thing I saw was Mo Fei plunged into the sea... Well, no, he sank into the sea with a "balloon".

After Mo Fei entered the sea, fog gradually began to form on the surface of the sea, and the surrounding area became shadowy... But this is a normal phenomenon. Not long ago, this place was under the control of Qiwuhai Moonlight Moria.

As he dived, he found that there was a group of reefs below.

After Mo Fei looked around and made a general observation, he found that the flora spread out on a large area on the sea surface, and the rhizomes began to gather after entering the water. It seemed that this was not a piece of plant, but a plant... just like the land of Shampoo. The islands are the same, only here the scope is much smaller.

After confirming that the plants were gathered in one place, Mo Fei didn't think much about it, and immediately swam towards the gathering place.

Because Mo Fei felt that the atmosphere at this time was very weird, so he sneaked in, and he began to think wildly... What is this?Diving in the sand in the angry sea?
Thinking of this, he grinned silently.

The main root of this plant spread out from the side of a volcanic reef. After Mo Fei circled the reef for a few times, he found a secret passage stretching inward on the other side, so he followed Start swimming along this channel.

The passage was winding, and after swimming for a long time, the narrow waterway began to be widened, and then, Mo Fei felt the air outside.

Inside is a cave, and a large amount of air is blocked by seawater. Of course, the air may also be formed by the respiration of plants... The plant can also be seen in the cave.

In other words, Mo Fei found the growth point of that plant.

Wet stone steps, moss, stalactites... This is a hidden "residence".

The plant grew in the middle of the cave. When Mo Fei came to the cave, he first walked around the plant and found a large pile of boxes in the back corner.

He walked over and kicked a box on the outside lightly, and saw that the decayed wooden box was destroyed immediately, and a large pile of golden gold coins rolled down.

Is this...is this really a treasure location?

But Mo Fei didn't pay attention to those gold coins, he circled back to the front of the plants again.

There is a simple stone table in front of it. Someone may have used it before, but now it has been curled up by the roots of this plant...Of course there is no one else in the cave. This matter was confirmed immediately, otherwise he would not have acted so carelessly.

There seemed to be something on the stone table. Mo Fei took out his long sword, chopped off a part of the roots, and then took it out...it seemed like a book.

No, it's a diary.

Is the material parchment?Not necessarily, it should be some kind of special paper, so this diary can be preserved in this environment.

"On May 927, 6, it was sunny.

I finally made up my mind.

The first thing to do for this is to clear out my crew..."

Mo Fei opened the diary casually, and then read the content on this page.He was surprised by the title date of the diary, which was actually five or six hundred years ago?

He flipped through it backwards.

After reading several articles in a row, Mo Fei probably understood what kind of story was recorded in the diary.

The owner of this diary used to be a powerful pirate, but as he grew older, he gradually lost his strength and influence, so he set his goal on "immortality"... The world five or six hundred years ago should have been better than it is now There are many ignorant ones, and there are always legends of immortality in the sea, such as the fountain of youth, and the fruit of surgery.

Therefore, we should not be too strict with the idea of ​​the diary owner. One is that the times are different, and the other is that the older a person is, the more afraid of death-in order to avoid death, a person will naturally make various attempts.

There are naturally various legends about eternal life, most of which are absurd, and the only reliable way is known even by people hundreds of years ago—not seeking the gods, but seeking devil fruits.

The owner of the diary found a devil fruit that had the potential to achieve eternal life, at least to extend his life, and then ate it...

When he got here, Mo Fei still only had the feeling that he was reading a fantasy story, but while reading it, he was startled...

The name of the owner of the diary suddenly appeared on the paper...in a self-proclaimed way...and Mo Fei had seen this name before.

Auriel Pandonia

When advancing into the city, although Mo Fei didn't check the old prisoner's information much, he at least checked the other's name before leaving...

Also "Aurel Pandonia".

For a moment, various thoughts ran wildly in Mo Fei's mind, and finally he turned around abruptly and focused his eyes on the plant.

After careful identification through the messy branches, leaves and roots, Mo Fei found a human silhouette and a human face with closed eyes at the root of the plant.

Mo Fei's breath stopped, and the other party seemed to have achieved "eternal life" in a rather special way... Even without any explanation, Mo Fei guessed the name of the devil fruit the other party ate in a daze.

Not necessarily accurate, but... more or less the same.

Animals, Phantom Beasts, Human Fruit...

Vegetative form.
