I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

Joel sat lazily on the throne, resting his head on his right hand.

Although he was the instigator, he was not interested in the fight in front of him at all.

Until the end, he still closed his eyes comfortably.

After more than a hundred years of slumber, he had forgotten too many things, and now he had to recall the past a little.

Joel vaguely remembered that he traveled to the pirate world about one hundred and thirty years ago, and ate the Devil Fruit, a species of phantom beast, and became a user with bat fruit and vampire form abilities.

This Devil Fruit, which was originally going to be obtained by the "lonely red" Baloric Redfield, fell into his hands ahead of time.

As a result, he remained young and gained unlimited life.

Even though more than a hundred years have passed, he still hasn't left any traces on his body.

"No matter what era we are in, human beings cannot escape the shackles of desire..."

Finally, Joel slowly opened his eyes and stepped off the throne.

He has witnessed people killing each other for greed many times, but this time it did not end with the entire army being annihilated - some people survived.

The wet-haired pirate shivered and clasped his hands in his white clothes on his chest, half-tilting his head as if he was reciting a prayer to seal away evil spirits.

When he saw Joel walking towards him, he was repeating the prayer and complaining with tears in his eyes:

"Father, I have a seventy-eight-year-old grandmother and a twenty-six-year-old idiot brother. How can you bear to bring such a pious me to you now? Please let me do more evil in this world. !”

"Don't worry, I will keep my promise."

Joel flicked his sleeves and interrupted the other party's grandiose behavior, "Now, that Devil Fruit is yours."

The wet-haired pirate stopped praying and observed Joel with bated breath. Seeing that the latter had no intention of taking action, he made up his mind and quickly rushed towards the Devil Fruit on his hands and knees.

Without hesitation, he bit off a piece of pulp and swallowed it.

As the disgusting smell spread, a strange power gradually filled his body.

"Father, you really didn't abandon me..."

When surprise appeared on his face, Joel's casual voice also came: "Pirate, you can tell yourself your name now."

"The villain, the villain's name is Caribu."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Caribu said his name respectfully.

For this name that seemed familiar but had no impression, Joel just glanced at the other person: "Then, try to use your ability."

"Yes, the villain knows. I understand."

Caribu tried to use the magical power surging from his body, and it was as if his body melted. Puddles of mud dripped from his body, turning the surrounding ground into a swamp like an ocean.

"Is this the power of Devil Fruit? It's incredible..."

Surprised, Caribu's eyes widened with joy.

Joel tilted his head slightly and said:

"That's right, Carib, use the swamp to clean up the room. I don't like the place where I lived to be so messed up."

"Clean up? The villain knows."

Caribu was slightly confused, but quickly reacted and gradually released the power of the swamp.

It was like an endless quagmire connected to another space, collecting all the mess on the ground. When he took back the quagmire, all the corpses and weapons on the ground disappeared.

"Hehehehe! This is so delightful!"

Caribu's little confidence began to expand infinitely, and his slender tongue that could almost reach his forehead couldn't help but stick out from his mouth, trembling with his smile.

He secretly looked at Joel and showed a dark smile.

What, this guy is too stupid, he actually gave me such a powerful power!

Even if this guy is a demon or something, he will never pose any threat to me now!

No, I underestimate myself!

The devil will only surrender at my feet!

But this thought only flashed through his mind, and soon Caribu's face became as ugly as constipation.

The body that had turned into a swamp sprayed out a ring uncontrollably.

"Jo, Lord Joel, what is this?"

In an instant, Caribu returned to his cautious expression and looked at Joel nervously.

Joel picked up the ring that had fallen on his heel, adjusted his cuffs, and then said, "A seastone used to suppress blood activity in my body."

As he spoke, he glanced at Caribu and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Of course, it can also seal the power of other Demon fruit powers."

seal……!

Caribu's heart beat faster after catching the key word. He hurriedly lowered his head and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Master Joel, what about you too..."

"That's right, a Demon fruit power."

Joel put away the seastone ring and spoke casually as if chatting about everyday things.

It’s actually Demon fruit power…

Is he also the creator of the Blood Curse Treasure?

What is going on with this man? !

Caribu was distraught.

But Joel didn't care what Caribu thought. He just looked around the castle and said, "Caribu, use the swamp to remove all the treasures here."

The main reason why he left Marsh Fruit here in the first place was just to facilitate the transportation of these treasures.

In the world of pirates, wealth is indispensable and hard currency that countless people compete for, and this will never change at any time.

"By the way, these treasures..."

After being reminded by Joel, Caribu immediately stopped worrying and looked energetically at the bright and luminous objects placed in the treasure boxes.

Even the amount of wealth represented by just one box of gold and silver treasures in the hall is already several times greater than the grand goal he set before going to sea, not to mention that there are dozens of such treasure boxes in the hall.

"If all these treasures were mine..."

Caribu's eyes were eager, and he resisted the idea of ​​taking these treasures as his own. Following Joel's command, he poured out of the swamp like a wind and the remaining clouds, emptied all the treasures in the castle, and stored them in his own "swamp space." "middle.

When the work was completed, he ran back to Joel with a flattering expression, "Master Joel, look at how well this little guy did."

However, the cunning look in his eyes from time to time revealed his inner calculations and thoughts.

However, Joel doesn't care what Carib thinks. To him, it doesn't matter.

He just gently raised the black cloak behind him, walked towards the castle gate to the outside world, and murmured calmly:

"It's time to return to this world again."

Beams of bright sunshine shine through the castle gate, like paving a white avenue leading to light in the gloomy darkness.

As the last footprints walked out onto the white avenue, this ancient castle once again fell into the eternal tranquility.

It has calmly watched the changes in the world through countless ups and downs,

And now, the intertwined threads of fate have finally begun to weave from here.

And, guide to the future.
