Chapter 1 Devil Fruit
South of the windless belt and east of the mountain, this vast area of water is what is called the "South China Sea" in the world.
In an unknown corner of the South China Sea, there is an island called "Tirol". The island belongs to a country called "King of Hildegard", but for the locals, national boundaries and belongings have no practical significance... It is just an isolated island outside the sea.
The property here is poor and life is poor. There is a town with the same name as the island on the island, and about two thousand people live here.
Mo Fei is one of them.
It’s just that he is a little special person, and the “speciality” of his identity is actually very easy to describe - he is an earthling who almost drowned in the pirate world.
When he woke up in a lonely boat and looked at the vast ocean, the mood changes brought about by the earth-shaking dislocation of geographical location and identity were simply so complicated that it was indescribable.
The "ship crash" is a bit incredible, and even more incredible that he encountered a shipwreck in such a world.
Fortunately, with the memory left by the original owner, a little bit of insignificant food and the direction he guided by the starry sky, he returned to the island from the sea with difficulty. It was half a month ago... After inheriting the identity and memory of "Mo Fei", this island became his temporary place to stay.
Mo Fei was a young fisherman. He originally had an older brother, but the latter unfortunately died in a shipwreck that happened not long ago. With a simple family relationship, no one would realize that he had actually changed someone else.
Half a month is enough for Mo Fei to figure out his own situation and sort out his messy mood, and he now needs to determine another thing.
After many days, Mo Fei finally walked out of his simple wooden house.
After Mo Fei left the door, he stopped a little and looked down at the full view of the town. The town was built on the hillside, and from where he stood, he could see the sea in the distance, the small harbor on the coast, the old and barren town, and the paths in the town with poor road conditions.
The air was filled with a faint fishy smell and a rotten smell.
"This unlucky place is not something that people live in." Mo Fei made such a purely subjective judgment in his heart, because everything he saw was all poverty that could be distinguished by the naked eye.
After listening for a while, Mo Fei continued to walk. His destination was the most "luxury" house in the center of the town, where the village chief or the mayor's home.
When he arrived there, a girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old and had a little freckle on her face was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard of the big house.
The girl's name is Emisa, she is the maid of the village chief's family and also him... she should be said to be "Mo Fei"'s playmate when she was a child.
"This place looks like a place where people live, but what lives inside is not necessarily human." Mo Fei thought silently again.
This idea is not purely malicious speculation, because in a place where everyone is very poor, there is an exception that seems quite rich, which makes him feel that this kind of "rich" must be problematic.
"Brother Mo Fei, are you getting better?" Emisa said first, her eyes looking at Mo Fei were filled with sympathy.
This reminded Mo Fei of the scene when she cried bitterly when she returned to the island and brought back the news of her brother's death. Even now, she still looks like she will cry at any time.
Moreover, Mo Fei's staying away these days should be caused by "excessive sadness".
"It's much better." Mo Fei was naturally grateful for the fact that he could survive, and he was naturally grateful for the person who rescued him, but such emotions don't have to be expressed at all times.
"Brother Mo Fei, all the things you asked me to help prepare are here." After a while of pain, Emisa remembered the serious matter. Then she pointed to a large stack of newspapers placed at her feet and said.
"Thank you so much. I'll borrow these things for a while and I'll be back soon." Mo Fei expressed his gratitude to Emisa, and then easily moved the pile of newspapers.
Although Mo Fei has some understanding of this world, these understandings are all obtained from the "God's perspective". He feels that the "story" he read in his previous life is definitely not exactly the same as the "reality" he is in. The so-called "plot advantage" is not enough to believe. In fact, he only knows a rough idea about this real world.
So Mo Fei wanted to learn about some things outside through the newspaper.
On such a small island, it may not be difficult to find a newspaper twice, but if you want to find a complete set of newspapers that have been connected to each other in the past few months, you may only find it at the mayor's house.
Then Mo Fei brought the newspaper back home and sat on a simple chair. He immediately flipped through it from front to back in order - "World Economic News", which should be the most important, most informative and widest newspaper in the world.
Thank God, as a fisherman on a small island, Mo Fei actually recognizes words.
Because he only looked at the key information, he read the newspaper very quickly, so he soon saw the first very important news - the title was "Hero's Resignation", and the general content was the lieutenant general of the army, Monkey D. Cap, who had the title of hero, was about to leave the front-line combat troops due to his age. He would then retain his military rank and be transferred to the "Naval Training Headquarters".
Cap, a familiar character, his photos were published in this newspaper.
It's very important, but not what he should care about now. Mo Fei shook his head and then flipped forward. After a while, the title of another major news came into view again:
"The Marshal of the Navy decided to resign"
From this news forward, the cover news titles in the newspaper almost every day are filled with exclamation marks, which are reports on the causes and consequences of "The War on the Top", the grievances and entanglements between Whitebeard and Blackbeard, and the movements of the Navy Headquarters.
Well, it is December 1520, and the "top war" happened four months ago.
This is a major event that happened once in a decade, but Mo Fei did not borrow these newspapers to pay attention to the most intense conflict ever between the Navy Headquarters and the New World Pirates. After rushing through the reports on "Super War", he continued to flip forward and finally found what he really wanted to see:
"The captain of the Flying Pirates, the admiral of the Golden Lion Pirates Fleet, the Golden Lion, known as the "Flying Pirates", was arrested again!"
Most of the content is irrelevant, but is it the result of the incident. According to the news report, the Golden Lion, a pirate who was preparing to make a big fuss in the East China Sea, was eventually arrested by the ghost spider, the mountain burned, and the three lieutenant generals of the Navy headquarters, Stolobery, and were once again imprisoned in the large prison to "promote the city".
There is a cost factor in this news, because it was not the navy who solved the big pirate, but I just didn't know whether the result of the Golden Lion being locked in the "Propulsion City" again was true or false. If the final result was accurate, then the contradiction would arise - when the "Propulsion City" was captured by the Blackbeards, one of the current "Four Emperors", there was no Golden Lion in prison.
so……
Not "promoting the city" at all?
Or... "secret execution"?
In the same prison, the great pirate admiral who is as famous as "One Piece", plus the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates and other evil pirates, and at the same time, they have to face the Whitebeard Pirates that may attack at any time. As expected, the pressure is beyond the limit.
The Navy naturally has no right to execute criminals at will, but the world government can. The "Promotion City" prison is not a naval military facility, and its management rights belong to the judicial administrative department... In other words, the "Promotion City" is not a subordinate agency of the Navy headquarters, but a subordinate agency of the world government.
Mo Fei felt that the "Golden Lion" was most likely dead.
The reason why he was concerned about this was because Mo Fei wanted to find out if the devil fruit he ate was that fruit... He naturally knew what he ate when he encountered a shipwreck.
Next, Mo Fei suddenly let go of his hands, but strangely, the newspaper that recorded the arrest of the golden lion was still floating in the air. Then, with Mo Fei's fingers swinging across the air, the newspaper automatically turned over another page...
Fruits.
As the name suggests, it is a fruit that can make everything except living things float.
The golden lion is likely to die, and coupled with his ability, Mo Fei has reason to believe that the fruit he ate will be Piaopiao fruit.
After confirming the Golden Lion incident, Mo Fei recorded some important information he saw in the newspaper in a notebook. After making records and sorting it out, he decided to return the borrowed things quickly.
It was already late at this time.
When Mo Fei came to the neighborhood of the mayor's house again, he heard a voice of scolding from afar.
"As a servant, you dare to steal your master's things. Where did you get the courage? Do you understand the rules?"
Then came a crisp sound.
Mo Fei frowned and then walked quickly over there. After turning a corner, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties scolding Emisa in the courtyard outside the big house.
Emisa lowered her head, but the red palm prints on her face could not be covered.
Mo Fei looked at the newspaper in his hand, and after thinking about it for a moment, he understood what was going on.
These newspapers are just useless waste to the owner. The master's waste can be thrown away, but the servant cannot move around. If you move, you will steal it.
Is this small matter necessary to make you angry?
But this is the reality. The smaller the place, the more the "little people" that emerged among ordinary people, the far more arrogant they are than the real "big people", because only this "popular" can express their "greatness and nobility".
Mo Fei pushed the door and walked into the yard. He was the cause of the incident, so he naturally wouldn't just watch the little maid continue to be beaten.
The mayor soon noticed the person who broke into his home. The direct intrusion of a poor man like Mo Fei has obviously aggravated the other party's anger again... What's going on today? Why do the poor ghosts in the town dare to break into his home directly?
The mayor shook his arm and walked towards Mo Fei with great strides. It seemed that he wanted to slap him first without saying a word.
"What are you? You dare..."
However, before the mayor could get to his seat or Mo Fei spoke, their behavior was interrupted together... Suddenly, something heavy passed through the air with a strange and familiar whistle, and then a fire came from somewhere in the town.
Then there was a vibration and a huge sound.
Bombardment?
Riots and noises from people came from the small harbor at the foot of the mountain.
"Pirate!"
"The pirates have landed!"
Pirate? Mo Fei first looked at the port. After thinking about what happened, he quickly turned his face back and admired the panic on the face of the mayor in front of him...
The current expression on the mayor's face formed a strong contrast with the arrogant and arrogant just now. Mo Fei felt that this contrast was much more exciting than the pirate attack... It was such a boring evil taste...
But it has to be admitted that a person's little arrogance seems to be easily broken.
