One Piece: God Killer

"Brother," Star leaned on the railing beside the deck, looking at the sparkling sea and the gorgeous sunset in the distance - that is the direction where the sun sets and where Daze Island is. He had seen the sunset countless times on the sea, but this was the first time he stood on such a high deck.

Profik was standing next to Star, and he was also looking into the distance.

"Brother, why did you leave so much treasure on the island?" Star asked with some confusion. Before setting sail, Profic left many of the treasures collected on the ship on Daze Island. shore. The money amounted to 20 million beli, an amount that Star had never seen in his life.

Profik asked with a smile: "Are you distressed?"

"Kind of," Star said sincerely. As a poor man, he had a visceral desire for money.

"There is still a lot of money on this ship, enough for us." Profik explained, "This collection ship was hijacked by us, and the king of Taoyuan Kingdom will definitely send people to collect taxes again. Daze Island is ours Leaving some treasures in the place where they grew up, so that they can have money to pay taxes, can also be regarded as repaying the kindness of giving birth."

Profik turned around and continued: "Besides, in this sea, money is just the least valuable thing. Okay, Star, let's go, Buck and Uncle Fuentes are here They are waiting for us inside the cabin."

Buck and Fuentes were counting items in the cabin at this time. They were responsible for the first few cabins, which mainly contained various daily necessities and some tax-deductible supplies.

"Uncle Fuentes, Star," Profic said hello to the two, and then he saw Gao Shifu, who was helping to count the items, "Gao, you are here too! Thank you for your hard work, go and rest on the deck for a while. Bar!"

Star also said: "The sunset on the deck is really beautiful."

"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk." Profic inexplicably thought of this very popular poem in his previous life, and he couldn't help but read it out.

"What?" Star had already taken the record book and was about to start counting.

Profik shook his head and said, "Nothing, let's get started."

What Profek and Star were responsible for counting was the bulk of the ship - several cabins containing taxes collected from various places.

Most of the ordinary taxes in Taoyuan Kingdom are in the form of physical taxes. However, the Celestial Dragons particularly like rare treasures from various places, so the collection of Celestial Gold is also special. Most of what was handed over as heavenly gold were various items of great value, or simply cash.

There are many various items on the tax collection ship, most of which are gold and silver treasures, jade, gems, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and local specialties. Of course, the largest amount is cash. There are exquisitely carved stone carvings, majestic calligraphy, dazzling gems, works of art made from Neptune skin, wood carvings made from thousand-year-old books, and beautiful embroidery... It can be said that the only thing you can't think of is, Not seen. Even though Profik had lived for two lifetimes, he had never seen so many rare treasures.

Not to mention Star, who was born a fisherman. Star was almost dumbfounded. He said: "Brother, we have given away so many treasures!"

"Star, you have to remember firmly," Profik glanced at Star, pointed at the treasures on the ground and said, "Don't just see the beauty of the rare treasures, but also remember where they come from. Come. These treasures are gold from the sky, and behind them are the blood and tears of countless ordinary people like you and me."

Star frowned, then nodded again. He is a fisherman with no knowledge, culture, and vision, but he is not stupid. He still understands the principle that wool comes from sheep - if Profic hadn't risen up to resist, the wealth of Daze Island would probably have appeared on this ship.

Looking at Star's appearance, Profic continued: "Star, don't be fooled by wealth. Behind excessive wealth is excessive sin."

He didn't expect Star to know much. But he hoped that people like Buck and Star could gradually understand some truth during the journey. They seized the tax collection team's boat. According to the laws of Taoyuan Country, they have now become fugitives. In the future, these people will most likely become pirates.

But even if they have to become pirates, Profik doesn't want them to become scum who harm the people, act violently, and everyone wants to kill them.

"I know," Star replied.

Although there are many things in the cabin, it is not slow to take inventory. This is because each island has a prescribed amount of heavenly gold, so the collection team has roughly classified and recorded what they have collected. Therefore, they don't need to count everything one by one, they just need to summarize existing records and classify things.

Although things like gold, silver and jewelry may be very valuable, Profik doesn't value them too much. There is never a shortage of treasures in the world of One Piece, but what is lacking is the ability to find and keep them. Apart from anything else, for an ordinary person in this world, the more treasures he has, the more dangerous he is, but for a strong man, the meaning of treasures is extremely limited.

Therefore, what Profik wanted to find in the cabin was not an ordinary treasure, but the key to quickly improving the team's strength in a short period of time. The firepower configuration of this tax collection ship is frighteningly low. There are only four cannons in the front, rear, left and right. If we really encounter a naval battle, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight back at all.

When he saw the situation of the ships earlier, Profic was still puzzled: Taoyuan Country is also a big country in the South China Sea, not to mention that Taoyuan Country has many islands, so why is the tax collection ship's armament so empty? Later, after questioning the sailors on the ship, he learned that generally speaking, tax collection ships are escorted by the Taoyuan Navy. However, two days ago, there was a fierce battle between the Taoyuan Kingdom Navy and the Xuanyue Pirates. Although there is no official news, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Taoyuan Navy suffered a big loss. Suddenly, pirates swarmed from all sides, and Taoyuan Kingdom was unable to dispatch warships to escort them.

Hearing this, Profic couldn't help but feel lucky. If there were indeed escort warships, it would be extremely difficult for him, Buck, and Star to defeat them. According to this, they have to "thank" the pirates for being active these days.

"Brother," Star said, holding a long-barreled gun inlaid with gems in his hand, "there is a gun here!"

"If you like it, just take it." Profic took a look and realized that this was a rather old-fashioned gun. Whether it was the rate of fire, accuracy, or loading method, it was far behind that of Profic. Firearms of Fick's era. On the contrary, it seems that the noble masters used it to make decorations, or for recreational hunting.

A total of three more guns like this were found in the cabin, a shotgun and two pistols, plus the ones Star found at the beginning, a total of four guns, but they were all flashy types.

Soon, the cabin was turned over by the two of them. However, Profic never found what he wanted.

No matter what, this type of item itself is very rare in the South China Sea, and it won’t be too late to look for it later when I have the opportunity.

"Brother, I see you're not too happy." In the corridor, Star and Profik walked side by side, and he keenly noticed that Profik seemed a little disappointed.

Profik said: "Our current military force is still too weak. I originally wanted to find some weapons, but they were all flashy things. Spears inlaid with gems, jade knives and the like... It would be worse if we really fought. There’s a broken harpoon for fishing!”

"Brother! Brother Star!" Matifa poked her head out from the room on one side, "Come over and eat fruit together!"

Profik took a look and saw a plate of melon-like fruit in front of Matifa, which had been peeled and placed in front of her.

"Where did you find this fruit?" Profik asked eagerly.

"I found it from a box in the captain's cabin," Matifa couldn't understand Profic's eagerness. "There was also a white one in it, which I gave to Brother Shifu."

Hearing the location where the two fruits were found, Profik had a hunch - this might be what he was looking for.

What Profik is looking for is none other than one of the most precious treasures in the sea - Devil Fruit. As long as you eat the Devil Fruit, even an ordinary person can instantly gain powerful abilities. This is undoubtedly a good way to quickly improve the strength of the team.

It is only natural that such a precious fruit should be placed in the captain's cabin as an important cargo.

"Wait a moment,"

Before Profik could finish his words, Matifa had already picked up a piece of fruit and took a bite.

"Well," Matifa's face turned livid, as if she had eaten some super unpleasant food, and she spit out the pulp directly, "How can there be such unpleasant fruit?"

Seeing Matifa's reaction, Profik was certain that she had eaten a devil fruit. To be honest, Profik felt a little regretful. Matifa is too young, so even if she eats the powerful fruit, she may not be able to exert her full strength.

"Matifa, are you okay?" Star didn't know about the Devil Fruit. He just thought that Matifa had eaten something bad.

One of the characteristics of Devil Fruit is that people who eat Devil Fruit can quickly know and master their abilities. The same was true for Matifa. At this time, she was surprised at the changes that had taken place in herself: "I'm fine, it's just my body..." Just as she said that, Matifa's body spread out like a thread, and her whole body spread out into a ball. Stacks of silk.

Star panicked: "Matifa! Brother, what's going on?"

"Don't panic," Profik could tell at a glance that this was the effect of some kind of superhuman Devil Fruit. "The fruit that Matifa ate just now is a Devil Fruit, which can give people special abilities. Now she just ate it. , I’m just not quite used to my new abilities yet.”

"Brother, I can't change back..." Silk scattered on the ground said in panic.

"Matifa, calm down, this is your ability now, you can control it." Profic guided Matifa, "Think 'change back' in your mind, 'change back', you can definitely change back." !”

Matifa tried hard to control her thoughts, followed her brother's guidance, and silently chanted "change back". Sure enough, her scattered body underwent incredible changes. After a while, Matifa turned into a human form again.

She cheered: "Great, I've changed back!"

It seems that this ability still needs further control... Looking at Matifa's appearance, Profic knew that in a short time, she would not be able to rely on her combat power.

Wait, Profic suddenly felt that he had forgotten something while focusing on Matifa's affairs. what is it then?

At this time, there were waves of exclamations on the deck.

The voices of the sailors came louder and louder:

"Monster!"

"do not come!"

"Shoot quickly!"

……

Gao Shifu!

He almost forgot about this matter, and there was another fruit in Gao Shifu's place. And now, judging from the commotion on the deck, he probably ate a Devil Fruit, which caused new trouble.
