I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

Returning from the original route to the shelter on the coast, Caribu walked on the now empty pirate ship with a familiar path.

After having a clear understanding of his situation, he learned from the pain and decided to temporarily rest on his laurels, and began to actively carry out the hard work of hauling in anchors and raising sails.

When the pirate ship gradually set sail and left, Joel looked at the island and then slowly said: "Caribu, do you know why the plants on this land are so lush?"

"I guess it's because... sir, what have you done? After all, that is your residence."

Caribu answered cautiously.

Joel's eyes were deep: "No, it was because countless rotting corpses turned into sufficient nutrients, which allowed extremely lush plants to breed. Once upon a time, this was an extremely prosperous country."

So...the fertilizer on the land is full of corpses!

Caribu couldn't help but feel a little numb when he thought that he had just set foot on such a terrifying island, but at this moment, facing Joel's words, he had to respond:

"Was it your power, my lord... that destroyed this country?"

"If I did it, there would be no need to mention it,"

Joel's gaze became deeper and deeper, and he seemed to be murmuring vaguely in memories, "But that was indeed the beginning of a huge war..."

"A huge war..."

Caribu swallowed and pricked up his ears to listen, but after waiting for a long time, Joel continued to speak, so he had to stand aside and wait curiously and helplessly.

"Sure enough, those things were lost in the long river of history..."

Joel glanced sideways at Caribu's expression, but was not surprised.

The hegemony on this sea is not always stable.

Eight hundred years ago, four hundred years ago, a hundred years ago, or several decades ago...

Every era will always breed unstable factors, but only the winner can leave his name in the history books, while the loser can only leave sadly without leaving a trace.

Records related to the past war have probably been erased.

"Let's go, get out of here."

Joel came back to his senses, and his eyes became unfocused again.

"Lord Joel, where are we going next?"

Carib asked.

"Go toward the middle."

"middle?"

"Yes, in the middle."

"Okay, I understand..."

…

Who would understand where the "middle" is in Grand Line? !

Caribu complained in his mind that he was not a navigator, not even a competent sailor.

However, this gentleman is not an easy guy to get along with at first glance. If he asks more questions, he may make the other party unhappy...

So, under the helm of Caribu, the pirate ship named "Gulu" began to sail on the sea for several days.

Although no island was found, fortunately there was plenty of food and water on board, so there was no need to worry.

But Caribu is not worried about the other major threat that pirates always talk about, the sea monsters and Sea Kings.

Because that adult will take action.

Wow——

A few seconds after the sea beast leapt from the sea, causing huge waves like a rain curtain, its body was brought to the deck.

A tall figure strolled out of the mist caused by the sun's rays on the sea water.

The sea beast with a rabbit head and a fish body was lightly thrown, and the deck began to sway uncontrollably from side to side.

"Eat rabbit head tonight."

Joel shook off the water stains on his cloak, sat on the seat under the sun umbrella, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

It's so powerful...

No matter how many times he watched it, Caribu could not help but sigh secretly.

If only he, Caribou, had this power...

It’s already taken off!

But speaking of it, what kind of Devil Fruit ability does this adult have...

While he was thinking, he dragged the sea beast's body on the deck with both hands and walked towards the storage room.

At this time, a news bird landed on the eaves of the cabin, lowered its head and looked at him calmly, as if asking if he wanted a newspaper.

"Have some."

Karibu took out fifty beli from his arms with great pain.

The news bird shook its head dully and raised its wings to "1".

"When did the price increase again?"

Caribu complained dissatisfiedly that although he did carry a huge amount of wealth, it did not mean that this wealth had anything to do with him.

Without Joel's consent, he didn't dare to touch the money, even one penny.

As for the savings he has actually accumulated, there is not much at all, it can even be said that there is none.

Seeing the news bird's wings holding the "1" motionless in the sea breeze, Caribu gritted his teeth and took out another fifty-beli change.

After all, newspapers, as the only information carrier on the sea, are a necessity that all sailors cannot ignore.

Newsbird took the two coins handed over by Caribu with a look of human disdain on his face, dropped a newspaper, and walked away.

"What kind of attitude do you have? You actually dare to look down on your uncle Caribu, who is just a news bird. Damn it!"

"When I get rich, I will buy all the World Economic News and put all you stinky birds on the grill."

Caribu clutched the newspaper and cursed angrily at the black spots in the sky.

When I think that I clearly have a treasure in the sky, but I can't use it, I can't help but feel a little depressed.

After he managed to adjust his mentality, he opened the newspaper, put aside the bounty lists inside, and browsed the contents.

"This is……"

Caribu's eyes widened with surprise in his pupils.

This is big news that shocked the world!

Moreover, this news seems to take place in this sea area.

After hesitating for a moment, Caribu quickly walked to Joel, handed over the newspaper, swallowed and said: "Master Joel, there is big news!"

"Um……?"

Joel took the newspaper and looked at the bold bold title.

[The original Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile's conspiracy to destroy Alabasta was announced, and Marine Colonel Smoker was arrested for meritorious service]

Next to the vertical title is the detailed content that takes up a whole page.

First, relevant insiders described Crocodile’s layout over the years from a first-person perspective.

Next is the current situation of Crokelda's arrest, and finally Marine's description of the hero Smoker's commendation.

It is well illustrated and detailed.

"It seems that I had a really long sleep this time."

Joel murmured thoughtfully.

Without the interference of other factors, Crocodile's defeat by the Straw Hat Crew has long been a given in the original work and is not worth mentioning.

However, what makes Joel think about is his absolute control over Devil Fruit's abilities.

Most of the demon beast species will basically gain multiple special powers while their physical strength is strengthened.

Take the strongest creature Kaido as an example. He can control clouds, wind, fire and thunder.

As a phantom beast in the form of a bat, Joel has the power to control blood and darkness.

However, unlike Kaido, who cultivates and uses his ability evenly, Joel has always been studying the ability to control blood.

Just as Devil Fruit is the possibility of "human evolution" that humans pursue,

And eternal youth and immortality are mankind’s wishes for Devil Fruit.

This kind of prayer for the future from people in the past, as well as Joel's meticulous control of "blood", enabled him to surpass his predecessors, cross the long river of time, and reach the current era.

However, even if he has accomplished something that no one before him could do, Joel clearly understands that the current time deviates greatly from expectations...

His control over Devil Fruit's abilities is far from reaching its limits.

"It seemed like I could only do this in the past..."

Joel shook his head slightly, but quickly accepted the status quo, and continued to absentmindedly flip through several freshly released bounty lists for the Straw Hat Pirates in the newspaper.

Caribu, who was standing aside, carefully observed Joel, and saw that the latter's expression did not change much at all, and he became increasingly depressed:

"Those are the Seven Warlords of the Sea, big pirates recognized even by the World Government!

Why...why wasn't he surprised by the downfall of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? "

Caribe never gave up on the idea of ​​getting rid of Joel and taking a fortune with him.

Therefore, he must find out the details of the other party.

Using such explosive news to test the opponent's attitude is a combat method.

However, it seems to have failed.

"Yes, I understand!"

An idea flashed in Caribu's mind, and he suddenly understood the problem.

Joel was not surprised...

Just because he was a person from a hundred years ago, and the establishment of "Seven Warlords of the Sea" was only a dozen years at most, so...

He doesn't understand the value of "Seven Warlords of the Sea" at all! !

Thinking of this, Caribu felt much better. He still had a great chance!

At that time, he will establish his own business, establish a large fleet, and serve as the pirate governor, becoming an immortal legend passed down by pirates...

Maybe it can all happen!

However, the first thing to do is to make Joel relax on himself, and then find a way to get rid of him completely!

so now……

Caribu's eyes gradually filled with light again, and he continued to work hard at his life of hard labor.
