A Pirate's Counting Life

"The weather is really nice today. It's a good weather for walking."

Mark slowly opened his eyes and murmured in his mind, "Eh... no! Where is my tent?"

Mark suddenly turned over and heard a "plop" sound, and he fell directly into the sea.

After fluttering for a few times, Mark began to force himself to calm down. Although he couldn't swim, all he could do at this time was stay calm.

In fact, learning to swim is very simple. The most important thing is not to be afraid of drowning. Keep calm and relax your breathing when you are about to sink. You will float up naturally in a few days.

As the sea water poured in, Mark began to struggle hard, but the more he struggled, the faster he sank, and the wooden board he was lying on at first became farther and farther away from him.

"Am I going to die like this? I'm really unwilling!"

The moment before he became unconscious, Mark thought with some reluctance.

"Huh? Where am I?"

Looking at the wooden ceiling, Mark rubbed his dizzy head.

"Little guy, are you awake?"

An old voice came from the side, and Mark followed the sound and saw an old man with gray hair looking at him kindly.

Thinking that a young man in his twenties was called a little guy, Mark felt a little uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to stand up and say thank you, Mark realized something was wrong. His field of vision was obviously not right. Logically speaking, his height of 1.8 meters plus the height of the bed when he sat up

After all, he must be 1.5 meters tall, but even so, he could only look up at the old man.

"Thank you to the old man for saving your life."

Although he was a little confused, Mark still said thank you. Before the old man could answer, Mark froze there.

I didn’t realize it at first, but the language he spoke just now when he thanked me wasn’t Mandarin but sounded a bit like Japanese.

Mark asked with some confusion, "Where is this old man?"

Mark said this sentence very slowly, and he was now completely convinced that something was wrong with his language.

A thought flashed through his mind. When the old man saw Mark in a daze, he thought it was the sequelae of falling into the water, so he casually said

"This is a sea area in the new world. Did you encounter any accident before?"

The old man paused after saying this, "We searched the nearby sea area and found no new survivors. Little guy, can you tell me what happened?"

Mark was still thinking about what the new world was when he suddenly heard the old man’s question and said casually.

"The ship I was traveling on was shipwrecked"

After hearing Mark's explanation, the old man stopped asking.The weather here is indeed unpredictable. One moment it will be clear skies, and the next moment there may be a storm.

"Little guy, our ship is going to Menya Island, but we will stop at Gilia Island for supplies."

"Well...thank you again for your help. I will disembark at Gilia Island."

Mark also understood what the other party meant. Being able to rescue him was already a great favor, but it was a little unreasonable to think about taking advantage of him.

The old man didn't expect Mark to be so easy to talk to. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Mark also discovered the fact that he had become smaller at this time. Although he did not understand why he became smaller during outdoor adventures, such outrageous things as time travel had already happened, so it would not be unacceptable for his body to become smaller.

"Which era is it now? Edo or Meiji era?"

Based on the need and the wooden boat Mark was riding on, he roughly guessed an era. The old man was stunned when he heard this and said with some doubts.

"What Edo Meiji? It's May of 1460 in the Hainan calendar."

The old man reached out and touched Yuan Fan's head and whispered, "There's no fever at all."

Seeing that Mark didn't speak, the old man didn't stop and left a sentence

"Little one, have a good rest"

Then he turned and left the room. Mark stared at the floor and said with some disbelief.

"Year 1460 of the Ocean Calendar? One Piece? This is really a big departure!"

I originally thought that I had traveled through hundreds of years, but I didn't expect that I would cross the dimensional wall directly. When I thought of the scenes in the comics of smashing mountains with fists and slashing the sky with swords, Mark felt chills all over.

Especially now that we are still floating in the waters of the New World, the ship might be destroyed in the next moment.

When he thought about this, Mark felt bad. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Mark quickly shouted

"please come in"

A middle-aged man pushed the door open and smiled slightly when he saw Mark on the wooden bed.

"It's time to eat, lucky little guy"

After saying that, he put the food on the table nearby. Before Mark could answer, the man picked up the wooden plate and left the room, leaving only one sentence

“I’ll clear the dishes later.”

Mark didn't react until the door closed. He got up and got out of bed, picked up the bread from the table, and sipped the milk while eating the bread.

Mark began to think about his future. According to this time period, the familiar big names in the future should still be in their infancy, and some may not even be born yet.

Mark's only recollection of this time period is that Charlotte Ling Ling will be fostered at Elbaf's Goat Home next year.

Then Charlotte Lingling went berserk and destroyed the giant village. After thinking about how he was five or six years old, and then looking at his teenage body, Mark felt like he was a scumbag.

But then I thought about it, and at least there was a chance to become stronger through training in the world of pirates. If I traveled to the Naruto world next door, it would be the end of the world without a good ancestor.

While eating bread, Mark was thinking about the power map of the current world. First of all, the most powerful one is the World Government. The power of a navy alone is very strong.

Not to mention the army mentioned in that sentence, under the World Government are some powerful countries, such as Wano Country, Elbaf and other countries with extraordinary strength.

Finally, there is the pirate force. At this time, the pirate force is not as powerful as it was in the later period. It is still in its infancy. The Age of Rocks has not yet arrived, let alone the Age of Discovery.

Now, except for some powerful pirates who will issue some bounties, most of the pirates are killed by the navy in the nearby sea before they leave the novice village.

Mark first excluded the pirate forces. He now has no ability to protect himself. If he goes to sea to become a pirate, wouldn't he be rushing to deliver achievements to others?

Finding a strong country to be a soldier and slowly climbing up the ladder is not suitable for me at this stage.

After much thought, Yuan Fan decided to try his luck with the Navy to see if they could accept anyone.

He remembered that the world government adopted children and trained them to become CPs. If he was now penniless, he would wander alone on the island.

If you are lucky, you will be captured as a slave. If you are unlucky, you will be given a cool song to yourself.

After thinking about it, I still think that only the World Government is more suitable for me at this stage. Whether I join the navy or CP, I can still make a living.

Although the death rate is a bit high, it is still better than wandering around alone.

After making up his mind, Mark drank the last bit of milk and stacked the plates.

After all, you are wearing someone else's clothes, so you still have to be polite. If Mark hadn't been unfamiliar with the environment, he would have taken the dinner plate directly to the kitchen to wash it.

10 minutes later, the man from before entered the room. He was stunned when he looked at the neatly arranged dinner plates in front of him. Suddenly, he heard Mark thanking him from the side.

“Thank you for your hospitality”

Looking at the very polite Mark, the man also had a smile on his face, rubbed Mark's head and said softly

"We will arrive at Gilia Island in two days. Just stay in your room during these two days. I will deliver the food to you on time."

"Ok"

Mark nodded directly and agreed without asking why. If you ask too many questions at this time, people will think you are troublesome.
