Dawn of Pirates

April 1508, 8 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Pain and Kisame have been sailing in the North Sea with Xiaonan for three months.

During these three months, Payne compiled the information about chakra in his dreams.

Ultimately, it was concluded that eating Devil Fruit would generate huge spiritual power in the human body, and this spiritual power combined with the power of high-intensity and careful training can refine chakra.

Take Payne himself.

Basically, one can skillfully use simple ninjutsu such as the Three Body Jutsu through chakra. Although other ninjutsu such as fire release and water release can be used, currently, due to the amount of refined chakra, It is still relatively small, and its power is often too weak to be used as the main means of attack.

However, after learning to use chakra skillfully, Payne's attack method is no longer solely based on the repulsion of Shinra Tenzheng. The iron fist attached to chakra is also fatal.

However, Kisame is very strange. He did not eat Devil Fruit himself, but his weapon Samehad consumed the Superman-type absorption fruit. Maybe it's because Kisame and Sameki have a good connection. Kisame was able to successfully take the energy from Sameki's body and combine it with his own fish-man power to form a force in his body that Payne envied. Incomparable amount of chakra.

At the same time, under Pain's guidance, Kisame was able to use some water-based ninjutsu very quickly. Of course, given that Kisame's learning time is still short, these ninjutsu are also not very lethal.

However, if you are fighting a Devil Fruit user, with Kisame's huge amount of chakra, even just using a large amount of water escape attack is enough to make those Devil Fruit users drink a lake. Also, thanks to the chakra package, Kisame can now use Samehada to slash even in the sea. The improvement of its strength can be said to be rapid.

Because of this, Kisame is now more confident in his hope of revenge. Therefore, he was extremely grateful to Payne. Only Payne followed suit. You must know that if this kind of ninjutsu spreads to the sea, it will be enough to cause the sea to set off a sky-devouring tsunami.

Compared with the tremendous changes in their strength, Xiaonan is not that good.

First of all, Konan did not eat the Devil Fruit, so she had no way to use the energy combined with the Devil Fruit to extract chakra.

Secondly, before meeting Payne, she was just an ordinary girl.

Therefore, in the past three months, Payne has been teaching Xiaonan some methods to strengthen his body, trying his best to improve Xiaonan's physical fitness first.

But it's a pity that Xiaonan's body seems like a spoon with holes.

In the past three months, no matter what kind of precious ingredients and medicinal materials Payne gave Xiaonan, her body was still losing weight day by day.

The destructive power of the disease on Xiaonan's body was so great that her face almost turned pure white, with only a small area of ​​her original skin color with a hint of scorched yellow still visible.

Moreover, even most of her originally beautiful purple hair has now turned gray.

Nowadays, Konan hides herself in the cloak every day, and she doesn't talk to anyone except Pain and Kisame.

Apart from practicing, I just hide in a corner and read a book.

There was nothing Pain and Kisame could do about this.

After three months of getting along, Kisame has completely recognized Konan, a poor and gentle girl. Seeing Konan's body getting worse day by day, Kisame often urged the sailors on the ship to speed up.

By the way, Payne and the others bought a ship, which was originally a pirate ship with about twenty pirates.

Later, after Payne had a friendly exchange with them, they left the ship with Payne and left. As for where, well, maybe God knows.

After you have your own ship, you naturally need to recruit a crew.

So after revealing the amount of the reward for the two of them, the ship successfully recruited some guys who dreamed of finding the One Piece and becoming rich and famous.

Of course, in Payne's view, these people are just guys who have been carried away by themselves. After all, Payne and the others are not real pirates and have no interest in the legendary One Piece treasure.

In the past three months, Payne and the others visited more than a dozen islands with well-known doctors. Even though the doctors refused, under Payne's dual pressure of force and money, the doctors had no choice but to examine and treat Xiaonan.

But in the end, no one had an effective solution to Xiaonan's lead disease. It all implies that there is no way to turn around.

This is also the reason why Xiaonan and Payne have been talking less and less recently.

The bow of the ship named Survivor by Payne.

Payne was staring intently at the sea and didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Kisame slowly came behind Pain, and Samehada was wrapped in a white bandage and carried on his back.

"Penn, how much longer?" Kisame asked. There was a hint of anxiety in his voice. Xiaonan's body was deteriorating. He couldn't bear to see this girl collapse like this.

"The information we purchased before said that Germa 66 should be near this sea area. We have been searching this sea area for seven days. If nothing unexpected happens, we can find Germa in two or three days at most. "Penn's voice was still so calm, but Kisame still heard a hint of worry in it.

Germa 66, the evil army famous in the North Sea.

It is said to have technological strength that far exceeds that of ordinary kingdoms.

After so many doctors' treatments failed, Payne decided to find Germa and let them use the power of technology to treat Xiaonan's disease.

Of course, this is Payne's attempt, and he doesn't know if it will work.

He also wanted to listen to Kisame's suggestion and go to Drum Island, the location of the famous medical kingdom on the Grand Line. However, Xiaonan's body has deteriorated so seriously that she may no longer be able to support them on their journey to the Grand Line.

That's why Payne thought of coming to look for Germa.

Fortunately, through the information sold in some taverns, Payne knew the approximate location of the Kingdom of Germa.

But what he doesn't know is that Germa 66 is a kingdom that can move on the sea. Today it can be in the North Sea. Maybe in a few days, he will appear somewhere else.

"I hope, I don't want to experience the pain of loss again." After hearing Pain's answer, Kisame replied with emotion.

Payne nodded: "Yeah, no."
