Black Dragon, King of Pirates

The Tenderness of Congonetia, this is the most famous hotel in Lamedio, a port town in the Kingdom of Kurus.There are signature seafood dishes that will make you appetizing, sea-view rooms with beautiful coastal scenery when you wake up early in the morning, and graceful girls who provide various services.

"Wow, this hot spring is so comfortable." Enel sat in a wooden barrel.The barrel was filled with water up to his chest, floating on the hot spring pool.

"This guest, you have been visiting hot springs for half a month." A man with buck teeth and a suit said from the side.

"Ah, is there a problem?" Enel turned around impatiently.

"Other guests have complained about this."

"Didn't I give you money?"

"No, this is just a limited number of our hot springs. You have occupied it for so long." The hotel owner also found it difficult. Although this guest's behavior was very strange and caused a little trouble to other guests, there was no default behavior at all. , fulfilled the greatest obligation as a customer very well.In other words, he had no reason to accuse Enel.But due to other people's complaints, I had no choice but to shamelessly try to see if we could negotiate.

Does Enel seem to be such an easy person to talk to? Normally, yes.But at this time, he was obsessed with researching Devil Fruit abilities. How could he stop because of other people's minor complaints?

"Then stop talking nonsense and get out of here. I'll kill you if you keep talking." Enel glared.The hotel owner was so frightened that he ran away.

"I really don't know."

A series of bubbles popped up in front of him.A big cat head poked out of the water.

Enel has been trying to guide the evolutionary energy in his heart for the past half month, but there has been no movement at all.According to his idea, soaking in water for a long time should cause the body to adapt to the environment.But nothing has changed in half a month.

Could it be that immersion in water caused the Devil Fruit's power to become ineffective? This is not correct.Survival and adaptation are the passive abilities of the Devil Fruit he possesses. This ability has become his biological characteristic the moment he eats the fruit.Just like Luffy was transformed into rubber, it will not fail due to being soaked in sea water.In the original work, Luffy was thrown into the sea by Arlong, but Arlong could still stretch his neck to breathe on land.

Carter used the doggy style swimming style, and the cat's tail flicked, hitting the barrel.

Alas, Enel was stunned for a moment, and then fell into the water with a splash.

It turned around and wondered, where is Weixi?

Enel was completely powerless under the water. Damn it, murder.

Carter swayed for a long time, finally reacted, and picked up Enel, who had choked several times on his mouth.

ha ha ha ha

Enel coughed up some water, then gasped for air, p, and almost died.He turned back to stare at Carter, with a dangerous light in his eyes.

Carter shrank his head, jumped into the hot spring, only half of his head was exposed, and stared at him warily. "Meow, I didn't mean it."

Without arguing with this pig teammate, he felt that the evolution in his heart suddenly became active.

So that's it, Enel suddenly understood why he couldn't adapt to the sea water.Because his survival and evolution are passive abilities after his body has been transformed by the Devil Fruit. Those parts that have changed will not return to their original state by being soaked in water, but the new evolution requires mobilizing the power of the devil. In sea water, The evolutionary energy, that is, the demonic power plundered from the Devil Fruit, has been suppressed, making it impossible for the body to change.

Adapting to the sea water had to be done step by step. This time, he only immersed his head in the water for two days. He felt that the evolutionary energy in his heart began to concentrate on the roof of his mouth. He did not suppress the flow of energy.

Evolutionary energy is used up.Enel found that he seemed to be able to breathe in the water with his mouth, and a gill-like structure appeared on his upper jaw.But because there is not enough evolutionary energy, the evolution is not complete.When you breathe with your head completely submerged in the water, it feels extremely dull. If you stay there for too long, you will probably pass out.

This amount of oxygen supply is completely unable to support fighting, and it is impossible to survive for a long time even if it is motionless.

"Tsk, it seems that it is not that easy to overcome the weakness of sea water." Enel was speechless.

He used the power of evolution provided by a devil fruit, nine CDs.But it had little effect, and he probably had to use two more Devil Fruits to prevent him from dying of lack of oxygen after falling into the water.The other percent was used to increase the hardness of the scales.Since there is no comparison, I don’t know how effective it is.

He actually hoped to evolve a layer of skin that could isolate the sea water, but there was no movement at all, so he had to settle for the next best thing and solve the problem of breathing underwater first.

Although it was not satisfactory, it was still rewarding anyway, and he was in a good mood.Went to the restaurant and ordered a table of food.

Carter suddenly came over and said, "We're almost out of money."

Carter originally didn't care about money, but after hanging out with Enel for a long time, he learned that Bailey, gold and other things can be exchanged for food.Moreover, one portion of Bailey's weight can be exchanged for hundreds or thousands of portions of food of this weight.So it suddenly fell in love with collecting belongings.

Due to the convenience of Carter's ability, both money and food are stored in its backpack space.

"Hey, are you running out of money? This is really a big problem." If it hadn't been for the gangster's treasury that was robbed in Rusty last time, Enel might not even be able to pay for accommodation now.

Carter also felt very sad. Having no money meant that he could not buy canned fish.What kind of happiness can a cat student have without canned fish?

Enel thought about it, took out the phone and dialed Doflamingo's number.

"It's me, Enel."

"Hey, isn't this my dear partner? Do you have anything to do with me?" The phone bug expressed his expression vividly.

"I want to get a mercenary job through your underground channels."

"Oh, what kind of work is it?"

"The war includes head-on confrontation on the battlefield and the assassination of the enemy's senior generals. They can be responsible for the final victory. The settlement is in Devil Fruit, and the amount is determined by the scale of the war."

"Yes, I will recommend you to my customers."

The two of them are mutually beneficial.Enel needs Doflamingo's channel.Doflamingo needs to use Enel's appearance in the war to enhance his influence.He still had too few subordinates, and the only strong ones who could decide the outcome of a war were Pika and himself.

"Click" to hang up the phone bug.

Carter came closer, "Does the war really not matter? It's too dangerous, I'm afraid."

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Anyway, no matter how many soldiers come, they just deliver food."

Enel takes Carter to the coast.The wind suddenly became stronger, causing his broken hair to dance wildly.The water keeps coming and going, coming and going.The clouds in the sky move slowly.

Because they had no money, they had no choice but to go to the wild and make do for one night.

At sunset, a pink cat lies on the beach.In its belly, a boy calmly closed his eyes.

Carter suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Enel, and then turned his fluffy tail to cover him.

The last ray of sunlight dispersed, and darkness enveloped the world.
