Above the Pirate King

Chapter 221
Xihai
Yalong Island

This is a small island near the edge of the windless belt.

It is remote and there are no waterways nearby, so few people come here.

The island is a relatively rare small island that retains some ancient features, but it is equivalent to a small garden in the great waterway. The preservation here is not thorough enough. There are only three prehistoric creatures on the island, and the others are modern and modern creatures.

“呼——吸-——呼-——”

Hathaway was holding a long gun, lying quietly in the grass of a rainforest, her breathing was weak, her eyes were sharp, and she was aiming at a giant raptor not far away by the lake that was watching around.

Compared with three months ago, she is in a much better state now.

The original bald head has now grown out, but because the time is too short, only short hair has grown out, which is shorter than normal girls' short hair.

However, this light blue short hair, paired with her snow-white skin and blue denim outfit, looks wild and beautiful.

at this time.

After looking around, the giant raptor by the lake did not find any enemies, so it lowered its head to drink water in peace.

"boom!"

There was a gunshot, and the bullets flew out.

"thump!"

The giant raptor fell to the ground, bullets shot through its eyes and into its head.

"Screw rustle!"

Seeing this, Hathaway walked out of the grass with a gun that still smelled of gunpowder, and stepped forward to observe the Giant Raptor carefully.

Finally, she shook her head in disappointment.

"Clap clap clap!"

At this time, Leilis came out of the rainforest while applauding, and said with a smile, "Not bad!"

"However, the bullet is still a bit crooked. Although it shot into the eye, it also hurt the corner of the eye! This level is still much worse than the teacher!" Hathaway said disappointedly.

In order for Hathaway to have a certain ability to protect herself, in the past three months, Inoue Yousuke specially transferred someone from China to teach her.

Of course, it wasn't originally Leilis's. After all, Leilis was the Minister of the Navy, and Yousuke Inoue couldn't invite him over no matter what!

But it just so happened that not only was Leiris free at the time, but he also wanted to see this small island that maintained its prehistoric appearance, so he invited himself to teach Hathaway.

"It's not bad. Although you have practiced martial arts and held a gun before, after all, you haven't touched it for five years. Picking it up again is just a little faster than someone who has no experience at all!"

"In just three months, you can pick it up again and practice to this level is already very good! At least, your talent is the highest I have ever seen!" Leilis said seriously.

"Thank you for your compliment!" Hathaway paused, with a gloomy expression on her face, and said, "But at this level, it's still far from enough to defeat that man!"

"How old is he, how old are you? Now you have only been training for three months, and when you reach his age, you will definitely be better than him!"

"Also, as a shooter, as long as you have a good gun, you can quickly close the gap between you!"

Leiris knew who the man Hathaway was talking about, although he had never fought against him, but judging from Inoue Yousuke's information, his strength was no worse than he is now!
You know, with the passage of time, Leilis, who has experienced many wars, is now stronger than before, and has risen a small level, reaching the rank of colonel!

Although Hathaway has practiced martial arts before, five years have been completely wasted. Even after three months of hard training, she is still comparable to a first-class soldier in the navy and has reached the level of a corporal ( Corporal) rank.

And between her and that man were Sergeant Cao (Sergeant), Chief Cao (Sergeant), Warrant Officer, Second Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major (Major), Lieutenant Colonel (Lieutenant Colonel), Colonel (Colonel), except for Warrant Officer. If the military rank is not counted as the level of strength, there is a gap of eight levels.

Fortunately, guns are a good thing that can make up for the level gap!

Hathaway, who was gifted with firearms, could leapfrog and defeat a sergeant-level person if she had an ordinary gun and had a sufficient distance from the enemy.

"No, I know. With my current strength, no matter how good the gun is, I can't defeat him!" Hathaway shook her head. Even a good gun can't beat that man!
"At least it can shorten the distance, can't it?" Leilis smiled, took out a handful of platinum 98K with roses carved on it from behind, and handed it over, then said, "This is a gift for you!"

"A teacher gift!?" Hathaway frowned slightly, a little puzzled, but still took the gun.

"Well, now that the three months are over, you should also complete your mission! And I have taught you everything I should teach you, the rest is just more practice and more actual combat!" Leilis said solemnly .

Hearing this, Hathaway was silent for a while, just as she was about to say something.

"Screw rustle!"

At this time, a smiling woman walked out of the bushes, who looked exactly like Hathaway and wore exactly the same clothes.

It was her twin sister, Vivian!
Although Yousuke Inoue was going to take her as a hostage, that was after the occupation of Ward Kingdom.

Before that, Inoue Yousuke didn't mind the two sisters having more contact and increasing their relationship, so he put them on Yalong Island together according to their wishes.

When the time comes, Hathaway will leave, and Vivian will be left behind!
"Sister, sister, look, what did I find, a beautiful and strange fruit!" Vivienne walked over showing off a purple pineapple-like fruit with spiral patterns on it.

Before Hathaway could say anything, Leiris said in shock, "Devil Fruit?"

"Devil Fruit!?" Hathaway felt a little familiar when she heard the name, as if she had heard it somewhere.

But five years of life without security, struggling to survive every day, has made her hide all the knowledge except survival knowledge, so she didn't think about it for a while.

So she frowned and thought hard.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration!
"Is that the devil fruit known as the secret treasure of the sea?" Hathaway asked quickly.

"It's the devil fruit known as the incarnation of the sea devil, with a market value of at least [-] million?" Hathaway said this, and Vivienne also remembered it.

"Yes, that's it. I didn't expect you to be so lucky to find one in this place!" Leilis praised.

He really didn't expect it.

You must know that this island was specially selected by Yousuke Inoue to train Hathaway. In order to ensure Hathaway's safety, every inch of the island was searched and searched in advance.

It is unbelievable that devil fruits can be found under such circumstances!

"This fruit seems to have appeared suddenly. I just picked it up when I passed a wild orchard. I have passed that orchard many times before. Although there are many fruits, there is absolutely no such fruit. Until I passed by just now I just discovered it suddenly." Vivienne frowned slightly.

Devil fruit reincarnation!

Lelis understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Hathaway in detail about such a relatively confidential matter.

So, Leiris changed the subject and said, "Hathaway, don't you feel that your strength is not enough? It just so happens that a devil fruit is a rare fruit that quickly increases strength!"

Hearing this, Hathaway looked at the devil fruit in Vivienne's hand with some eagerness, but after hesitating for a while, she still took the fruit from Vivienne's hand, and then handed it to Leiris, sincerely said,
"Teacher, I have entrusted you to teach me carefully these few months, and my strength has risen rapidly, so I want to give you this fruit!"

Hearing this, Leiris was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes narrowed, and he carefully looked at Hathaway in front of him. After confirming the sincerity in her expression and eyes, he suddenly reached out and touched Hathaway's head. He said with a smile, "From now on, you will be my disciple of Leilis!"

Originally, it was just a routine for Leilis to teach Hathaway, but at this moment, he sincerely regarded Hathaway as his disciple.

"Teacher!" Hathaway understood what was going on when she heard it, so she passed the fruit further.

"No, although I haven't eaten a devil fruit yet, I already have a pre-ordered devil fruit!" Leiris waved his hand and refused with a smile.

He really didn't lie. After reaching the colonel rank, he found that his strength growth began to slow down, so he came up with the idea of ​​a devil fruit.

With his credit and status, he easily applied for a known devil fruit from Arthur, but because the fruit was in Arthur's body, Arthur went to the World Council, so he didn't get the fruit for the time being.

"Really?" Hathaway looked at Leiris with some doubts.

"Of course, that devil fruit is a superhuman friction fruit, a fruit that can increase or decrease friction!" Seeing that Hathaway didn't believe it, Lelis explained the ability of the devil fruit in detail.

Hathaway nodded in confidence.

"Eat it!" Riley said with a smile.

"That's right, sister, eat quickly!" Vivian also assisted.

Under the persuasion of the two, Hathaway picked up the fruit and bit it down.

"Crack!"

"Woooo!"

A feces-like smell permeated Hathaway's mouth, and immediately a distorted expression appeared on her pretty face, with a feeling of wanting to vomit, but this is a devil fruit, and Hathaway dare not spit it out , So she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and swallowed it forcefully.

After that, she had an expression of resignation to death, and she gritted her teeth and picked up the fruit, wanting to bite it down again.

Seeing this, Leilis quickly stopped her and said, "You only need to eat one bite of the devil fruit, and it's useless to eat more!"

"call--"

Hathaway breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, sister, try it quickly, what is your devil fruit ability?" Vivienne grabbed Hathaway's clothes and said excitedly.

And Leiris also looked at Hathaway curiously.
