Dawn of Pirates

early morning.

After Payne and his party had a breakfast carefully prepared by their mother-in-law, they pushed Xie towards a nearby private house.

There they met their mother-in-law's brother, an energetic old man.

After knowing that Payne and the others decided to take Scorpion out to sea, he understood that Payne and the others were willing to find him.

Without saying much, he just briefly chatted with Payne and then took Payne and the others to the largest shipyard on the island.

Here, the old man seems to have a high prestige.

A group of people were randomly selected from the busy workers.

With their help, Payne and the others discussed with Scorpion to decide on the shape of the ship.

A medium-sized ship about ten meters long, the materials used are the best shipbuilding materials that can be found on the island. It can be said that there are no weapons accidents. The performance of this ship after completion is definitely better than that of naval warships. To a certain extent, this is the old man's confidence in his skills.

The old man only charged Payne and the others 3.5 million beli for the cost of the entire ship, just for Xie's sake.

After Payne and the others paid half of the deposit to the old man, the old man started work with the workers.

During this period, Xie followed the old man step by step. He needed to understand the structure and installation method of every part of the ship to facilitate future maintenance.

Payne and the others took advantage of this time to hunt in the surrounding waters.

More than a month later, the ship was successfully built, and the nearby sea area was almost cleaned by Payne and the others, making the area suddenly extremely safe.

The number of merchant ships coming and going has increased.

My mother-in-law's hotel is also open for business normally. Every day when Payne and his friends go back, they can see groups of travelers in different clothes in the lobby.

Finally the day came for the boat to be launched into the sea.

Under the clear sky, the five people looked at the workers who were busy launching the boats into the water, all with smiles on their faces.

"Penn, do you want to give this boat a name?" Kisame looked at the boat that was about to be launched and asked Payn sideways.

"No, Scorpion participated in the construction of this ship. Let Scorpion do the naming." Payne rejected Kisame's proposal and then said.

"Hmm." Xie looked at the ship and fell into deep thought.

After a while, the boat had successfully launched into the water, and Scorpion raised his head.

"Let's call it exploration." Xie said the name he had thought of.

While speaking, Scorpion raised his right hand and kept shaking his five fingers.

Then, a sharp iron rod flew up quickly in full view of everyone, and the word "exploration" was engraved on the bow of the ship.

Then, under everyone's surprised expressions, Scorpion's fingers moved flexibly. The wheelchair he sat on started to move on its own and headed towards the Discovery.

When we got to the boat, everyone looked at Xie strangely.

Xiao Nan curiously pointed to the wheelchair under the Scorpion seat and the words on the bow and asked: "Scorpion, why does your wheelchair move on its own, and that one?"

"Did you say this?"

I saw Xie casually taking out a puppet from the pocket hanging on the wheelchair.

Then the puppet began to move as Scorpion's fingers shook, faster and faster, and even danced cheerfully.

"Devil Fruit, Scorpion, why are you a Devil Fruit user?" Kisame's loud voice made his voice spread throughout the shipyard.

This caused everyone's eyes to converge here.

However, the old boatman waved him back.

Only Payne and the others looked directly at Xie, waiting for his reply.

Xie lowered his head and played with the puppet, and said at the same time: "Yeah, I never thought before that there is such a magical ability in this world. It wasn't until Payne promised her mother-in-law that she would take me to sea that night that her mother-in-law gave me food. I ate the fruit that was said to be a relic left by my parents. Only then was I able to gain this ability, the superhuman puppet fruit ability. The ability to control the actions of inanimate objects through invisible threads emitted from my fingertips. I It’s so unexpected. This ability feels like it was created for me. From now on, I can control the wheelchair by myself, and I don’t need you to help me.” When talking about the ability of this puppet fruit, Scorpion seemed to open up. It's like a chatterbox, and I almost can't stop once I start talking.

It took him a month to become familiar with this ability, just to surprise Payne and his companions who were willing to take him out to sea on the day the ship was launched. He wanted to prove to them that he was not a person who needed to be taken care of by others. of waste.

"Congratulations, Scorpion, this ability will definitely make your dreams come true."

Payne came to Scorpion's side and reached out to pat his shoulder.

Scorpion raised his head and looked at Payne, smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's talk about other things later. Let's start preparing things. I guess Xie can't wait." Turning around, Payne said to everyone.

"Yeah, I can't wait any longer." Xie looked at the sea level in the distance, wondering what was waiting for him there.

After that, several people prepared for the day.

The old woman filled the ship's refrigerator with food.

The old shipwright and Xie prepared several sets of vulnerable parts on the ship.

Payne bought the nautical charts of the entire four seas from other people who came to build the ship. Unfortunately, no one had the record pointer of the Grand Route. Maybe when he is really ready, he needs to buy it from Doflamingo. one.

Kisame bought some good fish oil, saying he wanted to give Samehada a good treat.

Xiaonan bought a lot of beautiful clothes. Girls always love beauty, although her good figure was covered up by the black windbreaker with red clouds.

But Itachi was simple and casual. When everyone saw him returning to the ship, he was holding two bunches of meatballs from nowhere.

Logically speaking, there is no such food in Beihai.

After everything is ready.

Payne and his party bid farewell to her mother-in-law with a tearful wave.

"Little Scorpion, take good care of your health."

"Well...mother-in-law, wait for me, I will be back."

Xie Xie's throat was a little dry and hoarse. Xie Xie knew that her mother-in-law was old and the pain of losing her son had made her physically and mentally exhausted. She might not be able to survive it for much longer.

The sadness of parting needs companions to make up for it.

"Scorpion, take a good look at this thing. You are also a Devil Fruit user now. It may be of great help to your abilities." Payne walked over, holding what he originally wrote to Orochi. Orochimaru's basic ninjutsu scroll, after Orochimaru memorized it all, returned it to Pain, so that Pain would not have to write another one when encountering such a situation in the future.

After Xie took the scroll and opened it, a whole new world opened in front of him.
