a scientific pirate

Chapter 3 Pirates Attack
The South China Sea is the hometown of the Admiral of the Navy, but this does not prevent it from being also a paradise for pirates.

Looking down from the undefended town, you can see a pirate ship parked outside the port. The ship itself is only a medium-sized two-masted ship, but it is blocked outside the small port, and it looks like a giant in comparison. .

Dirty gray sails hung from the tall masts, and at the very top was tied a skull flag... It was this flag that indicated the nature of the ship.

The pirate ship slowly turned sideways, and a row of black muzzles on the side deck just pointed towards the town.Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of fire flashing over there, and with the sharp whistling sound, several shells rushed towards the defenseless town again.

The shell hit somewhere in the town, and the flames burst into flames.

The residents of the small town, who realized what had happened, completely rioted in an instant.

Although this is the first time Mo Fei has experienced such a thing, he also knows that this is not a suitable time to observe pirates, nor does he need to care about the mayor.

"Run up the hill, Emisha."

Mo Fei directly grabbed the little maid Emisha, and then started to run.He didn't want to get involved in the turmoil caused by the pirates in such a direct way. At this time, the correct choice should be to avoid...Although he now has a devil fruit that can be described as "powerful", but as to how Applying it directly to human combat, he obviously has little experience.

"Brother Mo Fei?" Amisha, who was dragged away by Mo Fei, was a little confused.

"The purpose of the pirates coming ashore is to rob. Which place in this town seems to be the most valuable for robbing? This is a clear thing." Mo Fei said.

His voice was very calm from beginning to end.

As long as the pirates who go ashore have a little brain, they will go straight to the most luxurious house in the town, so the two of them cannot stay here.

The shelling of the pirates caused fires in several places in the town. Most of the buildings here are wooden houses, which are easy to catch fire.Among the narrow streets, dancing flames, and panicked crowds, Mo Fei pulled Emissa through.

"Hide, hide quickly!"

"What are you hiding, run! Run to the back hill!"

"My house, my money..."

"Money is more important than life, idiot!"

"Of course it's money, idiot!"

Noisy and messy voices reached Mo Fei's ears. For some reason, he felt that some people seemed nervous and scared, but some people seemed a little cheerful when facing the attack of pirates?
But he didn't have time to feel the various emotions in the small town, because in the next moment, the exclamation from the crowd woke him up completely.

"Bombardment!"

Mo Fei turned his head in the direction of the port subconsciously, and then he saw a black iron ball smashing towards this side after crossing a parabola - the shell was facing him, like It's like deliberately aiming well.

A cannonball flying at subsonic speed looks slow, because its flight trajectory will be exposed to people's field of vision for a relatively "long time", so no one will think that this speed is incredible, and it will even give people An illusion of reaching out and catching it.

But there is no doubt that human beings can't run as fast as cannonballs, so when the solid cannonball kept magnifying in Mo Fei's eyes, it was too late to run.

Unless... no, can't do that.

At this time of crisis, Mo Fei's mind turned, and he felt that the levels of various hormones in his body soared in an instant... His blood pressure, the surrounding sounds, and even his heartbeat and breathing soared at this moment. All of a sudden they disappeared.

He felt that his body was a rusty machine that had been placed for many years and lacked parts, and then suddenly the machine was replaced with new gears, lubricated, and the rust was cleaned, so he Naturally and even subconsciously began to work in a more efficient way than ever before.

So just before the cannonball smashed his skull, he reached out his hand towards the cannonball, and then... the moment his hand touched the iron ball, the ability of the devil fruit was activated immediately.

First it was the tip of the index finger, then the other fingers and the palm. Mo Fei could clearly feel the contact process. Then he flipped his wrist and scooped up the palm, and actually caught the cannonball in his hand.

I can only say... this thing is really hot.

"..."

The surrounding turmoil disappeared at this moment, and there must be more than one person who saw this unimaginable scene. Fortunately, because the sky has darkened, everyone may not be able to see Mo Fei's face.

"Um... I was taken aback." Mo Fei threw the cannonball to the ground and said after taking a deep breath.

"..."

So who is scaring whom?
Mo Fei was also aware of the reactions of the people around him, but in theory, this kind of surprise was better than his direct "take off from the spot", right?If he explained to everyone at this time that "people's physiques are different, I can catch a [-]-pounder shell with one hand when I am extremely angry", will they believe it?

"Don't worry, everyone, it's a dud...

Run, you won't have such luck next time. "

Mo Fei just yelled like this, then pinched Emisha under his arm, and left here at a strangely high speed like flying.

"Oh, so it's a dud..."

Some people with limited brain capacity suddenly realized that they had lived most of their lives, and it was the first time they heard that the solid shells that were originally fired also had the term "dud".

Emisha was even more confused. When she was almost killed by a shell just now, she closed her eyes subconsciously, but when she opened her eyes, she found that instead of being killed, she was about to reach the top of the back mountain .

Mo Fei hid the little maid high on the top of the mountain, and then said, "This is considered a safe area, Emisha, let's stay here."

The pirates who went ashore would definitely not be able to climb mountains, and the location Mo Fei chose would be difficult for ordinary people to climb up.

"Hmm..." Emisha nodded ignorantly. In short, she is quite safe now.

Now Mo Fei has understood that in a world where pirates are rampant, it doesn't seem strange to meet pirates going ashore to rob.

After staying on the mountain for a while, Mo Fei suddenly said, "Amisha, I'll go down and check the situation, and I'll be back soon."

He seemed to have made some kind of decision in his heart, so without waiting for the other party's reaction, his figure rushed directly into the forest below.

After leaving the top of the mountain, Mo Fei did not rush back to the town directly, but stopped at a slightly higher position, watching the robbery, arson and even killings below.

"People often say that a heroic death is better than a meager life. The first half of the sentence is open to question, but the second half should be fine...Normal people don't want to live an ordinary and humble life."

The chaos in the town intensified. After looking at it for a while, Mo Fei suddenly remembered a very simple and reasonable sentence... Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyred.

"Whether it's a bandit or a pirate, it's definitely wrong to be a thief, so...be a great thief."

In the darkness, Mo Fei muttered to himself like this.

Pirates look scary, but they can't scare the confident.

Mo Fei left where he was standing and went straight to the pirate ship in the port.

…… Mo Fei’s Devil Fruit Research Notes………

"Although it takes a process of continuous development and hard work to develop the full ability of a devil fruit, after eating this indescribable "fruit", I immediately knew its most basic "effect".

Like a baby's innate reflex, humans know how to suck from birth.

Or, when I took a bite of something like shit, I also understood another thing:

I can fly.

And you need to resist the urge to fly all the time. "
