Pirate King: Unparalleled<

Moreover, there are people with devil fruit abilities in this world. Their fruit abilities are ever-changing, and all of them possess considerable power.

The fruit's abilities are divided into animal type, superhuman type, and natural type. Each series will have its variants. Among the three series of devil fruits, the natural type is the most respected. The natural type of devil fruit can be elementalized, no matter what kind of fruit it is. Attacks and hits are ineffective against those with natural demon abilities, let alone guns and cannons.

Of course, although users with natural devil fruit abilities are very strong, they are not invincible. Ordinary people can obtain a power called "Armed Haki" through hard training. They can wrap their bodies with Haki to improve their defense and Attack power, and can wrap "Armed Haki" around weapons or even bullets. At this time, the weapon can touch the entity of the "Natural System" fruit ability user.

Fortunately, there are not that many people who know how to practice physical skills and possess devil fruit abilities. Most ordinary people are mortal, and bullets can still cause powerful damage to them.

Although the "matchlock gun", a super long-range lethal weapon, has appeared in this era, the military of various countries directly caused various problems with the matchlock gun due to the production process, such as extremely slow loading of ammunition, The range was less than 100 meters, most of the bullets used were lead bullets, and they had insufficient killing power. A series of problems such as this caused them to abandon large quantities of equipment in the army.

"People in this world are more interested in the collision between knives and close combat with blood flying everywhere."

"Smoothbore flintlock" is an upgraded version of "matchlock". Smoothbore flintlock and matchlock are both made by skilled craftsmen with hammer after hammer.

From the universal barrel and compact trigger, it takes about two to three months to complete. The barrel accounts for one-half of the time to make all the parts of the entire gun. It has to be made by skilled craftsmen with hammers. Knock the pieces of iron into a round tube, make a living with the iron, drill and carve the bore, and finally assemble it into a weapon that can kill people.

Although it sounds very complicated, Frey already has a complete plan in mind. He can use his thoughts to produce "smoothbore flintlock guns" in large quantities, but this requires a large amount of his resources. time.

At this time, Tris, who returned to his office, had already drafted a recruitment document. He sent people on fast horses to the cities around the kingdom early to recruit soldiers. He sent four or five riders, all riding the best. The war horse galloped towards its destination without looking back.

In a place called "Caven City" more than fifty miles away from the royal capital, riders have already arrived and handed the recruitment documents to the local nobles. The local nobles then sent officials to the notice board. Recruitment paperwork was affixed.

At this time, there was already a sea of ​​people near the notice board in the city center. People were pushing and pushing to squeeze in to see what was written on the notice.

Everyone was talking and secretly guessing what kind of order His Majesty the King had issued. All kinds of speculations and rumors began to fly all over the sky.

At this time, someone with sharp eyes had already clearly seen the content on the notice, and he exclaimed loudly:

"Conscription Order"

This was actually a conscription order. The residents of the city were in an uproar. The illiterate people quickly grabbed the literate people and asked him to translate it for them. Standing on tiptoes and watching carefully, most people don't believe everything they see with their eyes or hear with their ears.

At this time, a well-respected and literate old man in the city slowly walked over. Seeing the old man coming, the residents of the city quickly gave way to a path, and the old man slowly came to the bottom of the notice.

The old man carefully read the document on the notice board and said, "Yes, that's right, this is indeed a military recruitment order."

It says that His Majesty the King has specially prepared to form a new army in order to resist the "White Rhino Pirates" who are ravaging the coastal cities of the Kingdom.

"There are above requirements."

"Requirements: Male, young male, no criminal record, over 18 years old and under 40 years old, in good health without any disease, hunters and veterans are given priority."

"As long as you join the army and become a soldier, you will not only have a rich meal every day, free uniforms issued by the kingdom, but also everyone can get a salary of up to 10,000 beli every month."

"Those who perform well will have a better chance of becoming an officer."

"If you die on the battlefield while defending the country, you can still receive a pension of 100,000 berries, and the country will raise your son or daughter until he grows up and can support himself."

"And there is more".

When the surrounding town residents heard that as long as they joined the army, they would not only get rich meals and free clothes, but also get a monthly salary of more than 10,000 berries, people were in an uproar. They discussed happily, No one continued to listen to what the old man said next.

What's more, some of them have already patted their chests and expressed their desire to join the army, but they were ridiculed by the surrounding residents, who laughed at him for overestimating his abilities.

Dadima Darson was also looking at this notice. Unlike most people, he was literate. He had squeezed in with his strong body long before the old man came, and then looked carefully. Read the content on the notice board.

What was written on the document, free food and abundant clothes, did not move Dadi. Even the latter item, which said that as long as he served as a soldier, he could get a salary of up to 10,000 berries per month, it only made him slightly interested. He looked sideways. What really moved his heart was the last one. If you die in battle, not only will you get a pension of up to 100,000 beli, but the country can also raise your child until he can support himself. .

Yes, Dadima Darson is a father. He was originally a captain in the navy. He has been fighting pirates at sea all year round, constantly upholding the concept of "justice" in his heart. .

Until one day, when his wife was about to give birth, he got the news that a pirate group was raging. In order to protect the civilians from the threat from the pirates, and for the absolute "justice" in his heart, Dadi made up his mind and left. His wife was about to give birth, and after ordering the midwife and two personal guards to protect her, he resolutely led the sailors on a warship to attack the group of pirates.

When he successfully eliminated this group of pirates and hurried back home, he received shocking news.

His wife gave birth to a daughter safely, weighing four pounds and three ounces. Mother and daughter were safe. At this time, she lost a lot of blood and needed blood urgently. However, she did not expect that at this time, there were two remnants of pirates who had been killed by Dadi. Arriving at Dadi's home, the two ferocious pirates wanted to seize Dadi's wife to blackmail him. They attempted to force Dadi to release their imprisoned captain by catching Dadi's wife.

Dadi's two personal guards fought bravely with the two pirates and finally killed them with swords. However, Dadi's wife missed the best time for blood transfusion due to excessive blood loss and passed away quietly, leaving only Dadi. He left behind a lovely daughter.

After hearing the news, Dadi was so jealous that he almost went crazy. After giving his beloved wife a grand burial, he ordered all the pirates imprisoned in the Navy Branch Prison to be hanged, and then hanged in the port for public display. What he did made his superiors very dissatisfied, which led to his demotion and thorough investigation and rectification. For the first time, Dadi was shaken by the absolute "justice" in his heart.

In order to protect his daughter and prevent her from being persecuted by pirates again, he resolutely chose to quit the navy when his daughter was about five years old and was able to travel far away, and wandered around on the sea.

Relying on his superb personal martial arts, Dadi chose the life path of "bounty hunter", but he only hunted those little pirates whose reward amount was not high, and the gold reward was only enough for the life of the father and daughter. He never Will hunt down dangerous entities with high bounties.

As he grew older, and with the countless scars left in battles with pirates over the years, Dadi increasingly felt that he was a little powerless. He began to be a little afraid, afraid that one day he would be hunting pirates. A thief dies in a fight, what should his daughter do?

His last relative in this world is this lovely daughter. In any case, he does not want his daughter to be harmed even a little bit. This is a manly promise he made while crying and kneeling in front of his wife's grave.

Thinking of this, Dadi decided to join the army. He wanted to create a future for his daughter, so he turned around and walked straight towards a house in the west of the city.

Dadi came to the door and gently knocked on the door a few times, three long and two short. This was the secret code agreed between him and his daughter.

After a while, the door was opened, revealing a cute and well-behaved girl. The girl was wearing a blue folded dress. Her hair was parted from the middle and tied into two ponytails. Her golden hair flowed like waves in the breeze. He looked up, his blue eyes shining brightly under the light.

Kyler opened the door and saw his father standing outside the door. He showed a bright smile like an angel, opened his hands and rushed forward, shouting, "Dad, you are back. I miss you so much." you".

Dadi quickly stretched out his hands and hugged his daughter in his arms. He gently stroked the hair of his daughter in his arms, trembling a little in his heart, and his idea of ​​joining the army became more determined.

It took a long time for Kailuol to come out of Dadi's arms. Dadi looked at his daughter's delicate face and said with a smile: "Lolo, we have to go."

Kailuoer heard his father's words and smiled and said: "Okay, Dad, I will go wherever you tell me to go."

When Dadi heard what his daughter said, his eyes turned red and tears almost flowed out of his eyes. He quickly raised his head to prevent the tears from flowing out. Dadi's eyes turned red as he thought that he owed his daughter so much. Not only did she lose her precious mother's love, but Qi followed Liuli on the sea with her when she was little. He was simply not worthy of being a father.

Kailuoer raised her head to her father who had been silent for a long time. She asked doubtfully: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Did Luoluo do something wrong?"

When Dadi heard his daughter's words, he quickly wiped his tears with the clothes on his shoulders and said with a smile: "My daughter is the cutest, most beautiful, and most obedient in the world. How could you make dad angry?"

"Now go inside and pack your clothes. Don't forget to bring your doll with you. We are going to the capital. Dad will buy a property there and give you a stable home. We will never I won’t go to sea anymore.”

Hearing his father's words, Kyler happily turned around and packed up his things.

Dadi looked at his daughter's background and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let his daughter wander around the sea with him again.
