Pirates: I was born to be a king

Chapter 1 Wedge (page 12)

This is a world full of dreams and despair!

The entire world is divided into four seas by the red earth continent and the great sea route, namely the East China Sea, the West Sea, the South China Sea, and the North Sea.

The Grand Line is also known as the most magical and dangerous waterway in the world.

At this time, the world is about to undergo a change.

In a certain area of ​​the East China Sea,

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and from time to time, a few silvery lightnings pierced the sky and illuminated the dark sea. While the heavy rain poured down, the waves rose one after another, and the huge waves lifted up and crushed some ships.

This apocalyptic scene is rarely seen in the relatively peaceful climate of the world. Even in the Grand Line, it is a natural disaster-level severe weather.

At this time, a space on the sea suddenly collapsed outward, as if there was a broken mirror hanging on it. The bottomless black gap in the middle of the "mirror" made people feel as if they would sink in if they looked at it again, making them shudder.

A huge sea monster jumped up at the right time and passed through the side of this "mirror". As a result, it was quietly divided into two halves as smoothly and lightly as cutting sweet butter.

Seeing this scene, the nearby sea beasts were so frightened that they scattered away, not even daring to get close to the prey at their mouths, because their keen beast instincts were constantly sending warnings to their brains.

Not long after they left, a boy of about ten years old who fell into coma fell from the crack in space. Miraculously, he did not sink to the bottom of the sea. Instead, he drifted away along the waves as if supported by some force. At the same time, The cracks in this space are also closed like a broken mirror being reunited.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but as soon as the boy left this sea area, the rain started to fall, the wind stopped, and the waves were calm. If it weren't for the corpse of the sea beast still floating on the water, we would have doubted whether what just happened was true.

This force supported the boy and kept floating until he got caught on a wooden board and then disappeared. Fortunately, the boy lay down on the board and continued to drift with the waves.

It's a clear noon with a cloudless sky, which is good news for those who live by the sea. It indicates that it's a good time to go out to sea today. The risk factor is much less than usual, and you can fish farther away from the shore.

A small island in the East China Sea.

The two fishing boats went back and forth and met one kilometer away from the shore.

"Barry, the harvest is good today, we are returning so early!"

"Uh hahaha! That's right, Wright, I caught the rare elephant tuna, and I'm going to catch it this time!"

A burly, naked-chested middle-aged man with a headscarf on his head could not suppress his excitement. He raised a fish over one meter long in his hand and proudly showed off to his friends.

This fish has a long trunk like an elephant and gorgeous lines. When the sunlight shines on its surface, you can tell at a glance that it is something extraordinary.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's true! How could this thing appear in the East China Sea and let you catch it by luck?"

The other figure looks a little thin, but the six-pack abs exposed in the middle of the white shirt tell others that his strength should not be underestimated.

At this moment, he was looking at his friend from the same village with disbelief. After all, this thing is really valuable. Elephant tuna mainly lives in the South China Sea. Not to mention how much it costs to transport it from the South China Sea to the East China Sea. This kind of fish even lives in the South China Sea. It is also rare to see. It is said that the meat on its nose is rare and delicious. The meat from other places is also rare and delicious. In such a situation where prices are high and no market is available, it is normal for many nobles to spend their money in order to taste this delicious food, which is several times more expensive than the normal price.

Wright looked at the fish in Barry's hand and found that it was almost the same as the description of the legendary elephant tuna. He couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart. After all, this old guy has been in business for three years!

It was sour, but Wright still kindly told Barry: "Barry, we should sell this fish to that guy Vic. Although he always lowers our price when buying, after all, we have cooperated for so many years. He used to be a pirate." , I know a lot of people, and the selling price is a little higher..."

Barry also knew the underlying meaning of Wright's words. Vic used to be a ruthless pirate. Although Jinpen has washed his hands now, if the news that this thing was not sold to Vic was known to him, he would probably have a hard time in the future. , because the fish is rare and valuable, and the price is high. On the other hand, it has higher added value for Vic. For example, this fish can be used to curry favor with the nobles, and if you are lucky, you can also establish relationships with them.

After all, those aristocratic lords value face to a perverted level. If they can be lucky enough to show off at a party and satisfy their vanity, then it is really possible to get more.

"Huh? Barry, do you think there's a person there?"

Wright felt relieved when he saw Barry's thoughtful look. When he was about to continue fishing, he saw in the distance a man lying on a wooden board and rising and falling with the waves.

Barry came back to his senses and turned around to look: "It's true, I guess it's a shipwreck. Hurry! Let's go take a look!"

The two men looked at each other and hurriedly rowed towards the goal.

Wright arrived first because he was in front, picked the boy up from the water, and used his hand to detect the breath in front of the boy's nose. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was still breath:

It's okay, okay, otherwise I would have to give this kid artificial respiration, and the first kiss I had saved so hard at my age would be gone.

Wright thought wildly for a while, then he relaxed and observed carefully and found that the boy was brightly dressed, wearing a suit and trousers, and a white shirt underneath. With his blond hair and his handsome face, he looked even a blind man feeling noble. The temperament comes from the front.

"He's a child. Judging from the clothes he's wearing, he must be a noble!"

Wright shouted excitedly and hesitantly towards Barry who was coming.

Barry took a closer look and saw that his clothes were really different from those of ordinary people. Ordinary people often wore rags and linen. Being able to wear old clothes was a symbol of family happiness for many people. There were many patches on the clothes. They are everywhere, so it is easy to distinguish nobles from commoners based on their clothing. At the same time, Barry also understands why Wright has such a contradictory look on his face.

Even though Wright is a fisherman, this old boy has a lot of ideas and is usually very naughty. He understood that there are certainly benefits to this kind of exile of nobles. If you save a kind-hearted noble, then the natural reward will be a huge fortune. However, most nobles look down on the common people, and if they encounter someone with a bad temper, then there are also The most important thing about the possibility of causing trouble is that they don't know why the boy is in trouble. If it is because of a power struggle, then the boy is a hot potato, and no one knows whether he will attract pursuers.

"Wright, if you are afraid, just leave it to me. Are you afraid of being discovered on the sea? At worst, wrap him in a piece of cloth and take him back. God knows that you know this and I know it. I don't think you will betray me. Right, hehe! My father used to be a doctor, so I can take care of him. When he wakes up, ask what's going on. If it's really a grudge between nobles, then at worst, we'll send him away when he recovers, and never talk to him again. Just don’t mention it. I promise that if there is anything in return, I will give you a little bit as hush money, hehehe..."

Barry was much more decisive than Wright, and he was on a small island in the East China Sea and had never seen the world. He didn't know there was such a thing as life paper, otherwise he wouldn't be so sure that no one could find it.
