Pirates: I am an Assassin

On the Night Star, Su Yue and Abis were sitting on the deck playing chess made by Miao Fan, while Miao Fan was watching from the side.

Since both of them are natives of this world, the traditional chess gameplay may be difficult for them to master for a while. Therefore, Miao Fan introduced them to another interesting chess gameplay - flipping chess. .

Both of them have good understanding. After several explanations from Miao Fan, they have already mastered the rules of Fan Fanqi to a great extent. Moreover, the two of them really have nothing to do. They just want to play chess to solve the problem. But you don’t know if you don’t play. As soon as they started playing, the two of them suddenly felt that this flip chess game was quite interesting.

Compared to Su Yue, Abis is now at a disadvantage. Su Yue's reds are obviously in an advantageous position in terms of quantity, and Abis has a solemn look on her face.

"Hey, Captain, a naval fleet appears to our left rear, numbering more than six ships!"

At this moment, Shi Lansen, who was standing on the lookout, suddenly said such a sentence, which made them all stop what they were doing, ran to the side of the ship and took a look, and found that they were on the sea not far away. , at least six huge naval warships appeared, and the navy logo was clearly visible on the huge white main sail.

"Eighth Marine Branch!"

When Abis heard about the naval fleet, her face turned pale. Now that she saw the fleet with her own eyes, she said anxiously.

Her face was full of panic and worry at this time. If the navy found out that she was on this ship, then they would definitely take her back. What's more, even Miao Fan and others would be taken away together. She She didn't want to implicate them. Although the time they got together was short, Abis thought they were all good people.

"What's wrong?" Miao Fan asked curiously.

"The Eighth Branch, this sea area is under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Branch of the Navy, which is the branch to which the Navy warship I escaped belongs." Abis explained, with an uncertain look on her face, obviously a little confused.

"Calm down, why are you panicking? How are you sure they are here to arrest you? Maybe it's just a routine patrol. Besides, you are a little kid like you. What can their mighty navy do for you? So, don't jump to conclusions. Let's see and talk. ." Miao Fan gently patted Abis on the head and said calmly.

"They must be here to catch me!" Abis said very firmly at this time.

"Why?" Miao Fan asked strangely. Unless there is really a huge secret about Abis, this group of navy would be so full that they would go to war and send out a fleet to catch her.

"Because of the dragon..." Abis was a little anxious, and a few words slipped out of her mouth accidentally, but with just these three words, she immediately covered her mouth and shook her head like a rattle. Similar.

"What?"

Because Abis spoke very quickly, Miao Fan did not hear her clearly.

"They were speeding in our direction."

Shi Lansen put away the telescope, climbed down the mast and frowned and said that he could detect the naval warship, which meant that the naval warship could also detect them. The naval warship was much larger than their Night Star, and its mast was also smaller. It was much higher, so their observation deck had a wider field of view, and with the monocular telescopes equipped by the navy, if they really came for Abis, it would not be difficult for them to spot her.

"It seems that the people who came here are evil!" Miao Fan glanced at Abis with an inexplicable smile on his face, and then said to Shi Lansen, "In this case, is there any way to get rid of them?"

Shi Lansen frowned. This was not a simple question. He looked up at the sky as if feeling something. Just when he was about to speak, Abisi said first: "It's going to wind! It's very windy!"

"A strong wind?" Shi Lansen's brows suddenly widened, and then he quickly said to Miao Fan: "Captain, immediately adjust our sails to the southeast direction. I'll go to the helm. A sudden wind is coming on the sea. It's too late. Explanation, act quickly, Su Yue, take Abis into the cabin!"

"Roger that!" Miao Fan and Su Yue didn't ask any more questions. After simply responding, they immediately acted according to Shi Lansen's instructions.

Sure enough, the moment he finished doing these things, a strong wind suddenly blew from the sea, blowing the sails of the Night Star to full bulges. The ship's speed immediately took advantage of the strong wind, and instantly sprang out a large amount of sails. , rushed out towards the distance, leaving the naval warship far behind, and it felt like riding the wind and waves, hanging sails directly across the sea.

"Boom! Boom!"

It seems that the sudden acceleration of the Night Star caught the navy by surprise. They actually started firing all the guns without warning, hoping to force the Night Star to stop or even hit the Night Star.

It's just that the Night Star was not so easy to hit when it was traveling at high speed. The cannonballs that fell into the water made huge splashes, but they didn't even touch half of the wood of the Night Star, and the range of the naval guns was limited. , the Night Star quickly sailed out of the maximum range of the naval gun, and disappeared into the distance beyond the horizon.

After disappearing from the navy's sight, Miao Fan and others did not hesitate at all. They immediately changed their course and drove towards the warship island.

"Komori, how do you know that the instant wind on the sea is coming?"

After their course and speed stabilized, Miao Fan expressed his doubts. You must know that weather is the most elusive thing. Even if there are advanced scientific equipment such as weather satellites on the earth, it is difficult to guarantee the weather. Prediction accuracy.

"It's hard for me to explain this to you. People who have not studied navigation have a hard time understanding the mystery. To put it simply, it is based on the changes in high and low air pressure. That is, due to some special reasons at sea, the two places The air pressure difference instantly widened, causing a violent airflow from high to low." Shi Lansen organized his words and said. Although what he said was simple, he could judge the changes in high and low air pressure without using any tools, which many navigators finally achieved. A skill that will take him a lifetime to master.

"Well, well, keep talking!" Miao Fan was completely confused inside, but he pretended to understand the questions he asked with tears in his eyes, and then continued to listen.

"I just felt a difference in air pressure at that time, but I didn't think about the direction of the instantaneous wind on the sea. It was just Abisi's words that reminded me and made me think about it."

Shi Lansen looked at Abis with piercing eyes, as if a master saw a piece of rough jade worth carving, which made Abis a little uncomfortable.

"Actually, it was the seagull who told me." Abis said with a wink.

"Seagull?"

Miao Fan, Shi Lansen and Su Yue looked at each other. This was the first time they heard such a magical thing, but Miao Fan's mind turned quickly and he thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that you are a Devil Fruit user?" Miao Fan asked in surprise.

"Well, that's right. I ate the Whispering Fruit. I can read the thoughts of animals and convey my voice to them. You can also think that I can have some form of communication with animals."

Now that Miao Fan had seen it, Abis spoke openly about her fruit ability.

Knowing that Abis is a Devil Fruit user, Miao Fan has an unreal feeling. They say that Devil Fruits are hard to find and are very rare. However, he has only been out at sea for a long time, and he has encountered three Devil Fruit powers. Luffy, the one with the rubber fruit ability, Smoker, the one with the smoke fruit ability, and Abis, the one with the whispering fruit ability in front of me, are rushing to catch up.

In fact, it’s not just these three people, there are also Bucky the Clown, who has the ability to split fruit, and Arrita, who has the ability to use the slippery fruit, but Miao Fan doesn’t know that.

"So, you said that the seagull told you? Indeed, many animals at sea can sense weather changes in advance. They are much better than us humans in this regard." Shi Lansen said with emotion.

"Well, I like communicating with them very much. They tell me a lot of things, a lot of interesting stories." Abisi showed a happy smile on her face.
