Pirate: My saber is a shining single scabbard

Orleans Island is the hometown of Rear Admiral Doyle Burke of the Naval Branch, and it is also the hometown of many naval soldiers.

Most of the men on the island are proud to be a navy, and even the city guards believe in defending the town to the death.

And with the navy's high casualty rate, there are naturally various bereaved families in cities and towns, including those who have lost their children, those who have lost their husbands, those who have lost their fathers...

For various reasons, most people on the island hate pirates, and some even hate them extremely.

However, a few years ago, unusually, there was a man on the Island of Orleans who left his wife and children behind and went to sea to become a pirate.

After the townspeople on the island saw the information about this man's burning, killing and looting in the newspapers, they criticized him verbally and writtenly.

At the same time, some people also transferred their anger to the abandoned wife and children.

Although some people know that they are innocent and even victims, it cannot stop people's resentment.

As a result, the wife and children live in the eyes of indifference, ridicule and even hatred every day.

In particular, some townspeople who have lost relatives in the navy will do some outrageous things from time to time.

If some sensible and clear-minded people hadn't stopped it, disaster might have happened long ago.

After a while, the wife died of depression, leaving her son alone to struggle to survive.

The time has come when the McGee Pirates attack.

Because people coming back from the dock rushed to tell each other, all the townspeople knew that a pirate ship had appeared in the port.

a certain street.

When Matt heard the news about the pirate attack, he was about to go home and hide, but he was surrounded by a group of people cheering.

"Hey, son of a pirate!"

"Did you bring the pirate ship in the port to you by tipping off someone?"

"Maybe his pirate father brought people to harm us!"

"Hmph, I think this guy will probably go to sea and become a pirate in the future!"

"..."

Matt listened to the pointing fingers around him, clenched his fists and dug his nails into his flesh, his expression extremely gloomy.

Suddenly, a town citizen remembered something, and a look of anger appeared on his face.

Then he couldn't help but lift his foot and kicked Matt hard in the stomach.

boom!

Matt, who was thin and thin, immediately flew out and hit a fruit stand next to the street.

The fruit stall collapsed and all kinds of fruits were scattered on the ground.

"Cough cough...cough!"

Matt lay on the ground, holding his stomach with his hands, curling up and moaning in pain.

The townspeople who were kicking people looked at this scene with frightened expressions.

Perhaps fearing that someone would be killed, or fearing that the pirates outside would come in, the town citizen quickly ran away with the people around him.

Matt, who was lying on the ground, endured the pain, gritted his teeth and murmured:

"Kill you..."

"I must kill you!"

Matt kept repeating this until the pain subsided.

He stood up staggeringly, walked to a basket storing fruits, picked up the basket, and ran away.

It is usually difficult for him to eat fruit. This time when the pirates attacked and everyone ran away, no one would care if he took some.

Moreover, the owner of the stall often spoke harshly to him.

Evening is approaching.

Matt was frightened for a long time until he heard the sound of hunger in his stomach.

Gollum~

Matt thought of the pile of fruits he had brought back during the chaos.

He put the fruit on the table with a huff, and then stuffed it into his mouth with both hands.

suddenly...

Matt frowned, and an unspeakable bad taste hit his taste buds.

He belatedly looked at the fruit with strange patterns in his hand.

"Bahh...bah!"

"What kind of fruit is this? It's so unpalatable!"

Matt threw it away casually and continued eating the fruit on the table.

After eating and drinking, there were sounds of running and shouting outside the door.

Matt listened carefully for a while and learned that the incoming pirates had been eliminated.

I also learned that many fishing boats and small cargo boats parked at the pier were knocked over by pirates and sank to the bottom of the sea.

"I hope my fishing boat is okay..."

Matt decided to go to the dock to take a look at the situation. He was worried about his fishing boat.

After all, fishing at sea is his main source of food and income.

pier.

The pirate's body has been removed, but one can still imagine the tragic situation from the mottled blood on the ground.

Matt looked out to sea in dismay.

There were several boats moored there, but unfortunately his one did not survive.

Suddenly, several young men walked towards Matt.

"Hey, isn't this the son of a pirate?"

"Matt, with your expression, you're not mourning for those pirates, are you?"

"Or is your father among those who died miserably?"

"..."

All kinds of sarcastic words penetrated Matt's eardrums, making him furious, especially those who had kicked him hard before.

Just when Matt was about to endure it as usual, he suddenly felt a surge of power in his body.

"what is this..."

Matt looked at the somewhat deformed hand, a little puzzled by the changes in his body.

And the sarcastic and vicious words around him continued.

The people who made the noise didn't notice at all that danger was sneaking towards them.

Matt's changes suddenly accelerated, his body began to squirm and lengthen, and his hands and feet continued to shrink.

Several young people finally realized that something was wrong, and they all backed away in surprise.

Soon, a huge leech appeared in front of everyone.

"what is this!"

"Strange...monster!"

"do not come!!"

Several young people immediately ran away in panic.

The giant locust also made a move. It curled up and ejected, crushing a young man underneath it.

After it crawled away, the young man on the ground turned into a shriveled corpse.

"Ahhh~"

The screams sounded one after another.

After the sound stopped, several young men who mocked Matt turned into mummies.

So much so~

Matt slowly changed back to his human form, feeling a little panicked and a little excited when he remembered what he had done.

"I turned into a monster?"

"Were they afraid of me just now?"

At this time, the townspeople at the dock also noticed something was wrong, and soon a large group of people gathered around.

After seeing the mummy on the ground, some people screamed, and some asked Matt what happened.

The situation is getting increasingly chaotic.

"Hoo ho..."

"It's really fun."

Not far away, a figure dressed as a dramatic character stood on a high pole.

This person is Lafitte.

He heard about Baker Hughes nearby and came over to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, he encountered such an interesting scene.

"Animal System-Insect Fruit-Leech Form..."

Lafitte saw the young man clashing with the crowd surrounding him.

Soon, several more corpses with their blood sucked out appeared on the ground.

Lafitte saw the young man's state at this time.

He doesn't know how to use his abilities properly.

They will only follow the wild instinct of the locust and do nothing to restrain or control it.

"What will happen if this continues..."

Lafitte remembered something.

If a person with animal abilities wants to awaken, he must constantly release his wild nature and then control it.

But for people with weak will and insufficient strength, their minds will gradually be eroded by wildness.

Eventually turning into a half-human, half-animal monster.

It is said that…

Impel Down City, which is shocking to people, has many animal-type ability users who have lost their minds after awakening.

With a little training and guidance, these ability users who are half-successful and half-failed in awakening will be very good helpers for the jailers.

Right now, this young leech is still far away from being completely controlled by wild nature and losing his mind.

But there is also this tendency.

Although Lafitte knew some information about the awakening of the animal system, it was all hearsay and he had not personally witnessed or confirmed it.

As an animal-type ability user, he is naturally very concerned about this aspect.

Lafitte made a decision.

He wanted to use this young locust boy to conduct experiments to get more information about the awakening of the animal system.

"Hoo hoo..."

Lafitte looked at the increasing number of mummies in the field and suddenly showed a wicked smile.

"If this continues, maybe more interesting things will happen..."
