Pirate's Swordsmanship Supreme

In the evening, when the afterglow on the horizon is about to completely dissipate——

Qi Ya and his party finally dug up the treasure hidden here by Captain Tyrannosaurus in the center of the island.

The depth of the cave is more than ten meters, but surprisingly, there is not too much groundwater seeping into it, which saves them a lot of trouble.

They dug around along the excavated gold and silver artifacts and heavy iron boxes. By the time everyone had finished digging the entire treasure trove, it was already early morning on the second day.

After extinguishing the lantern in his hand, what appeared in front of Qi Ya's eyes was a well-sealed cylindrical underground building with a diameter of about ten meters and a depth of more than ten meters, or a large ancient well.

In addition to all kinds of treasures in the well, the most numerous things were dry bones of all sizes.

It looked like the violent bear captain forced these people to build such a treasure place and then directly buried these people here alive.

Because the time was too long, and the captain of the violent bear was already dead, Qi Ya didn't pay too much attention to this, and just asked his men to quickly lift the treasures to the ground through the slings.

After doing this, he handed the lantern in his hand to Babas beside him, leaned the shovel in his other hand against the stone wall, and followed the hanging hemp rope back to the island ground.

Looking from top to bottom at the white bones in the pit, as well as the gold and silver jewelry in stark contrast, "human life is as cheap as weeds", this is Qiya's deepest feeling at the moment.

Along the way, he felt that he was no longer a good person in the traditional sense.

The number of people who died directly or indirectly in his hands has long exceeded ten fingers. Therefore, although he was surprised when he first excavated the dead bones, he did not have the fear that ordinary people should have.

After everyone pulled up the last box of treasure, the crew, who had been busy for fifteen or six hours, collapsed to the ground, groaning.

Gary, who had had a night's rest, came to the venue with a large bag of cooked food. When he saw that everyone except Qiya was sleeping on the ground, and some of them were even snoring, he put the bag in his hand on the ground. He took out a separate lunch box and handed it to Qia Ya.

"Here, I heard it's Candice's latest work, specially prepared for you." Gary's words contained a rare sourness.

He can also be regarded as Candice's first teacher after she lost her memory. Whether the former treats Qi Ya or Yvette, she is much gentler than when she treats him.

This hit him hard as a teacher, and at the same time he began to doubt his own charisma.

Qi Ya didn't care about the meaning of the other party's words. After taking the lunch box, he put it aside temporarily and said:

"Just in time, let's take stock of the harvest first! Aren't you curious about what's in these iron boxes?"

After Gary pondered for a moment, he analyzed:

"There are a total of eleven iron boxes here, only two of them are locked, and most of the general belongings are piled aside haphazardly..."

"I estimate that the nine unlocked boxes should contain neat gold or silver nuggets, and the two locked boxes should logically contain much more valuable items than gold and silver."

"I guess it could be something like a Devil Fruit or a famous sword. Of course, it could also be a personal item that is very precious to the owner of the treasure."

"..." Qiya listened to Gary's analysis and used Garcia to open a nearby unlocked box.

The moment the lid of the box was opened, a shimmering golden light shone inside. It was indeed rows of neatly stacked gold nuggets.

There were a total of eleven boxes, four of which contained gold nuggets, and five contained silver nuggets. As for the remaining two, after Qiya used the iron-cutting swordsmanship to split the rusty iron locks on them, the ones in between The object appeared in front of the two people.

There was also a small wooden box inside one of the boxes. When opened, there was a bright yellow devil fruit that looked like an apple.

Put in another box were stacks of papers wrapped in plastic film. After tearing off the film and taking a rough look, the two were convinced that it was a logbook about the great voyage.

Putting all the papers into his storage space, Qi Ya leaned over and held the apple-shaped Devil Fruit in his hand. After looking at it carefully, he handed it to Gary and said:

"Do you want to bet? Whether it is strong or weak depends on this time. The taste of this thing is not pleasant."

"Let me eat?" Gary was a little incredulous.

"Of course! Apart from me, you contributed the most to this operation. You know, I have already eaten a Devil Fruit, so of course this one belongs to you." In order to reduce Gary's unnecessary psychological burden , Qi Ya answered in a normal tone.

He could actually understand why Captain Tyrannosaurus would rather hide this devil fruit than increase the strength of his subordinates.

Since most of his own strength comes from Devil Fruit, if the power of this fruit completely overwhelms his animal Devil Fruit in the initial stage, his position as captain will probably be over.

Compared with the violent bear captain, Qi Ya felt that the most fortunate thing for him was that most of his strength came from the system, so even if his crew members ate the most outrageous fruit, he was confident that he could suppress it.

Based on this, it becomes logical to use Devil Fruit to enhance trustworthy subordinates.

After all, he had never seen a Yonko or a powerful Shichibukai whose subordinates were all trash.

"..."

Gary pursed his lips, lowered his head, and after thinking for a moment, he took the Devil Fruit from Qia Ya. Looking at the bright yellow and beautiful fruit in his hand, he suddenly felt the urge to die for Qi Ya.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

Only those who have experienced the most difficult period of time will be sincerely grateful to those who have given them a helping hand and separated themselves from the suffering.

It can be said that more than a year ago, if it were not for Qiya's "uninvited guest", their family's life trajectory might be no different from other people running the charter business in Champaign Town.

In the end, he either died on a certain voyage, or was killed in the town by pirates like Crick who dared to openly loot the town.

Gary, who had read various miscellaneous books, also knew something about the particularly disgusting taste of Devil Fruit, so he first took off the wine bag from his waist, bit off the seal with his teeth, and then ate the entire Devil Fruit in his hand in three mouthfuls. Down.

He hurriedly chewed a few mouthfuls, and just as he was about to swallow it, a strong feeling of nausea suddenly invaded his brain.

The wine bag in his hand fell to the ground, and Gary stretched out his hands to cover his mouth while trying his best to swallow.

Qi Ya on the side looked at Gary's reaction at this moment, and it was difficult to imagine what kind of terrible smell made this young man who usually showed a calm and calm appearance look so embarrassed.

The sudden strong curiosity made him have the childish idea of ​​taking out another Devil Fruit in the storage space to taste it.

Fortunately, he immediately suppressed this irrational thought and just watched his deputy swallow the pulp in his mouth with difficulty.

"How about it?"

Qi Ya picked up the wine bag on the ground and saw that there was still about half a bag of wine in it. He handed it to the other party and asked about the situation.

After Gary drank all the wine in the wine bag in one breath, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It tastes like a mixture of bedbugs, swill, swamp, carrion, and feces. When I put him in my mouth, I seemed to feel it die."

"...Where's the ability?" Qi Ya imagined the smell for a moment, and then changed the subject without leaving a trace.

"Here," Gary said, holding out his hand.

A palm that was originally ordinary suddenly emitted a bright yellow light, giving people the impression of being powered on by a 100-watt incandescent lamp.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is quite similar to the natural shiny fruit.

"Can it be elementalized?"

While Qi Ya asked curiously, he stretched out his hand and felt around the other party's glowing palm for a while, but did not feel too high a temperature.

Gary shook his head and said, "I should only be able to emit light...that's not right."

"..." Just when Qi Ya was about to ask "what's wrong", he felt that the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, as if he had suddenly turned from day to night, and as time went by, the surrounding light became darker and darker, until Become blind.

"I seem to be able to control light within a certain range."

Gary's voice sounded not far away from him. As he finished speaking, a ball of light the size of a human brain appeared in his palm, illuminating the entire hemispherical space.
