From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Mata's death did not affect the pirates' mood at all. They continued drinking and dancing.

"Young men, now that you have rested, let's set off."

Seeing that the pirates had almost rested, Amos pointed in a direction and asked everyone to steer the ship and sail in the direction he pointed.

"This is the only way to enter and exit the Great Route from the West Sea. We can't stay here for long."

The damaged merchant ship raised its sails again and headed towards its target.

On Yanhuang Island, Xia Jieren was lying in nutrient solution, his eyes closed, his mind already in the heart network.

"Ha~"

Xia Jieren lay decadently on the soft sofa, watching "Detective xx" bored.

After adjusting his lying position again, Xia Jieren rubbed his eyes and thought to himself, "I'm still not used to watching movies in 3D mode. It looks a bit awkward."

An hour later, Xia Jieren was already feeling a little drowsy.

Waving his hand and shutting down his 3D cinema, Xia Jieren muttered, "It's so boring. It seems that I need to vigorously develop the entertainment industry in the future."

"Without entertainment activities, wouldn't most of the fun in life be gone?"

Returning to his clone, Xia Jieren sat up and looked around.

"Hmm~, no matter how many times I watch it, it always seems a little too fancy."

Xia Jieren thought.

At this moment, he felt no emotion at all. After the novelty wore off, the magnificent decorations and furniture were just like that.

"I should have nothing to do today."

"Ha~~"

After stretching and yawning, he lay down again, "Let's take a nap first."

Then, Xia Jieren began to daydream.

......

The next morning, Xia Jieren still had nothing to do.

Just after eleven o'clock, when he was about to go to the capital to look for food, Kerrigan reported: "Master, a ship has entered our monitoring network."

"What a fuss!"

Xia Jieren grumbled in his heart and asked, "Just enter if you want to. It's not the first time a ship has entered."

"As the fungal network expands, there may be more and more frequent occurrences in the future. Don't report them to me one by one."

"But the destination of that ship seems to be Yanhuang Island."

"Forehead......"

Xia Jieren was speechless and felt very embarrassed, especially when he saw Kerrigan's speechless look.

After a moment of silence, Xia Jieren said, "Over there, go and take a look."

After saying that, he walked back to his bedroom and closed his eyes.

In a blink of an eye, Xia Jieren arrived at Xinwang, and Xinwang quickly switched to movie viewing mode.

This is Xia Jieren’s favorite mode. Watching surveillance videos is very exciting and gives people an immersive feeling.

In the picture, a damaged merchant ship is sailing on the sea.

Seeing the miserable state of the merchant ship, Xia Jieren asked, "Uh, did it encounter a shipwreck?"

Kerrigan did not answer and continued to report: "This merchant ship appeared in our monitoring network around ten o'clock in the morning. According to the direction it came from, it probably came from the Grand Line."

Xia Jieren stretched his head out of curiosity, touched his chin, and asked: "Kerrigan, do you think we can..."

He had only said half of his words when Kerrigan understood what Xia Jieren meant. She waved her hand, and the scene on the deck of the merchant ship appeared.

The picture was very blurry and had serious frame drops, which made Xia Jieren very uncomfortable to watch.

"Kerrigan, can't you think of a solution?"

Xia Jieren asked uncomfortably.

Kerrigan explained helplessly: "In about an hour, you will be able to see a clear picture."

“The number of reconnaissance spores is too small to obtain sufficient information.

It will take some time for them to multiply to a sufficient number.”

"Ok."

Xia Jieren rubbed his eyes and asked Kerrigan to temporarily turn off the light screen in front of him.

"Kerrigan, how long do they expect it to take to reach Yanhuang Island?"

Streams of data flashed through Kerrigan's eyes.

"Based on the ship's speed, nearby currents, and wind speed and direction, it is estimated to take another three hours, twenty-eight minutes and fifty-one seconds."

"Um, is it necessary to be so precise?"

Xia Jieren was speechless. "It's just a small question. Just do the math for your own good."

"Is necessary."

Kerrigan nodded seriously. "I am a conscientious person."

Xia Jieren laughed twice, then said to Kerrigan, "Call me when they arrive."

"Yes, Master."

Xia Jieren's own body was training at the moment, and there was nothing to do with his clone, so he simply stayed in the mind network and thought about what to write in the next story.

As for the damaged ship that was approaching, Xia Jieren was not worried at all.

He is no longer the weakling he used to be. Now he has the ability to protect himself.

The strength gave Xia Jieren enough confidence.

More importantly, on that merchant ship, Kerrigan did not feel the aura of a strong man.

Aura is a very mysterious thing, and the aura of a strong person is difficult to disguise.

Just like Kaido whom Xia Jieren had seen from afar before, although they were thousands of meters apart, his aura, as vast as the abyss and as brutal as a beast, still left a deep impression on Xia Jieren.

Thinking back on it now, he still felt a little uneasy.

In comparison, this group of guys are so different, one is in heaven and the other is underground.

Ants!

This word suddenly popped up in Xia Jieren's mind.

He shook his head, getting rid of the arrogant thoughts, "I am not qualified to say this word yet."

An hour and a half later.

All the information on that merchant ship was sorted out.

[Vehicle: Severely damaged small boat]

【Crew: 27 people】

[Combat Strength: One naval colonel, two naval lieutenants, ten naval lieutenants, eight naval warrant officers, six naval sergeants]

[Treasure: Three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry (estimated 1300 million Baileys), one devil fruit]

[Supplies: 16 barrels of fresh water, 5 barrels of wine, food...]

Xia Jieren glanced around casually and saw that there were only three threatening people. He said to himself, "As expected."

As he continued to look down, his eyes widened, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and the sound of him swallowing saliva was clearly audible.

"Devil...Fruit! I've finally been waiting for it!"

"Haha, God finally favors his devout believers."

Xia Jieren was so happy that he couldn't help wanting to share. "Kerrigan, after you get the devil fruit, you must study it carefully to see if you can copy it."

"Yes, Master."

Kerrigan is also interested in things like devil fruits.

After having the Devil Fruit, the rest of the treasure becomes less important, just 1300 million Beli.

At this time, Xia Jieren thanked and said, "Fortunately, the people on the boat are a group of vicious criminals. Otherwise, I would have missed this devil fruit."
