Chapter 299: The Stranded
"Near Water 7, it seems correct."
Su Xiao was very unhappy at this moment. The blueprint he bought had instructions that the entry location was Water 7, six days before the plot started.
The teleportation location was not on the island of Water 7, but in the nearby sea area.
Compared to other time points in the One Piece world, the time point of Water 7 was very suitable for Su Xiao now. There were no natural Devil Fruit ability users here, nor were there enemies whose strength was impossible to resist.
Although Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying might be able to hurt natural ability users, that kind of enemy was not something he could deal with now.
For example, the likes of Enel; Su Xiao had no chance of winning against that level of enemy.
Su Xiao was swimming in the sea, and he received the approximate location of Water 7.
Although the initial location was a bit speechless, Su Xiao thought of his subsequent actions, and his mood gradually improved.
His trial world was One Piece. At that time, he was too weak and could only use schemes and tricks to complete the mission.
If it were the current Su Xiao, he would kill directly. This was not unwise. Since he already had the strength, why be so troublesome?
Becoming strong is to make it easier to achieve goals. If you still have your hands tied after having strength, then becoming strong is meaningless.
Swimming in the clear seawater, a fire ignited in Su Xiao's heart, and he roared silently in his heart: "One Piece world, I, Su Hansan, am back!"
Swimming for a long time, the surroundings were still a vast expanse of ocean, which was so helpless. The "near sea" prompted by the Reincarnation Paradise was too near.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xiao continued to swim toward Water 7. He remained vigilant in the sea. The sea in the One Piece world was not safe, and various giant creatures were common.
The sun was bright, a few white seagulls flew over the sea surface, and a three-masted ship was sailing on the sea.
The three-masted ship was a wooden structure, about twenty meters long, with a slender hull and a ram on the bow. This was a fast ship, and the only people who used this kind of ship were pirates!
The carrying capacity of this kind of fast ship was very poor, but the speed was extremely fast, very suitable for chasing cargo ships.
The sea breeze blew the black sails, and the black sails were full of holes. These holes were the thickness of fingers, densely distributed on the sails, which should have been left by lead bullets.
This pirate ship was sailing on the sea at a very slow speed. The hull was full of scars, and the whole ship creaked, as if it would fall apart at any time.
This pirate group had been exchanging fire with the enemy for a few days. Some positions had been roughly repaired, and a secondary mast was broken, which was why the ship was so slow.
On the deck at the bow, which was the highest point of the deck, a one-eyed pirate pulled open the telescope in his hand and looked into the distance with that narrow and cruel one-eyed eye.
"Captain... how long until we reach Water 7? The Wolf is not going to hold on."
A pirate on the deck below asked timidly. There were dozens of pirates standing near him, all full of expectation. These pirates were dressed differently, but all had one characteristic: sallow and thin, all with injuries, and missing arms and legs were not uncommon. Some pirates' wounds began to fester, and they were cutting meat with sailor knives.
"Shut up."
The one-eyed captain's voice was low and astringent. His throat must have been injured, and it was a throat-slitting injury.
The one-eyed captain spoke, and those pirates retreated in fear, their heads hanging down immediately.
To become a captain, one needs strong strength, or be extremely cruel, or have personal charm.
This one-eyed captain clearly belonged to the former. He ruled the ship with a cruel style. If the black eye patch were matched with an iron hook on one hand, he would look more like a pirate.
Eight days ago, the "Hungry Wolf Pirate Group" encountered another group of pirates on the sea. The two sides didn't negotiate or communicate, and directly greeted each other with cannonballs. This was the "etiquette" of pirates meeting.
After the "friendly" artillery fire, the Hungry Wolf Pirate Group didn't have a chance to board at all. The opponent's artillery fire was too fierce, so they fled.
Relying on dog shit luck, the "Hungry Wolf Pirate Group" successfully escaped and began to drift on the sea.
Food and drinking water had long been exhausted, and what was more terrifying was that the captain's room was blown up, where the durable fruits were stored.
What is most important on the sea? The answer is fresh water and fruit.
Fresh water ranks first, fruit second. If you don't ingest vitamin C for a long time, you will suffer from scurvy, and then you will be dead.
Vegetables and fruits contain vitamin C, but vegetables are not easy to store, and the price is high, so pirates choose to carry fruits. Apples and green tangerines are good choices.
At this moment, the Hungry Wolf Pirate Group fell into this situation: wound infection, lack of fresh water, no fruit, insufficient bandages and medicine.
Fortunately, they were not far from Water 7, which kept the ship from rioting, otherwise even the one-eyed captain couldn't suppress these pirates.
Sailing life is very boring, let alone this situation. The whole ship is like a powder keg, as long as there is a "spark," it will explode.
A few pirates walked out of the cabin, with blood on the corners of their mouths, seemingly chewing something, their eyes numb.
"Captain, found a stranded person."
A loud shout attracted the attention of all the pirates on the ship.
"Stranded person? Man or woman?"
The one-eyed captain spoke. Whether it was a man or a woman, it was very useful for the current Hungry Wolf Pirate Group. Men were eaten as emergency food, and the role of women was even greater.
"It's a man, about twenty years old, no weapons."
"A man..."
The one-eyed captain's tone was a bit disappointed. After a month at sea, the only magnetic thing he saw was a news bird delivering newspapers.
"Fish him up and lock him in the cabin. There isn't much emergency food left. I don't know how far it is to reach Water 7. Now there is only direction, and it's unclear how far it is."
Men were caught as emergency food, and women were played with before becoming emergency food.
These pirates were starving crazy and would eat people. To be precise, they were already eating, eating those companions who were more seriously injured.
In the sea, Su Xiao was still swimming forward with all his strength. Suddenly, a behemoth appeared in his perception. Turning his head to look, it was a ship sailing toward him.
After seeing the pirate flag, Su Xiao's face changed. Black flag, pirates.
The strength of the opponent was unknown for the time being, but Su Xiao could confirm one thing: these pirates definitely didn't come with good intentions. The whole ship sailed straight toward him, clearly wanting to hit him.
Su Xiao took a deep breath and sank his body into the seawater.
The scene before his eyes changed. The surroundings were vast blue, the seawater was very clear, and occasionally fish swam by.
The bottom of the sailing ship came into view. After hesitating for a few seconds, Su Xiao didn't choose to destroy the ship. This was a good means of transportation, although it was a bit tattered.
On the pirate ship, a few pirates stood by the ship's side and looked down, seemingly looking for something. They held long iron hooks in their hands, and the iron hooks had barbs. These people were prepared to use this thing to hook Su Xiao onto the ship. Ordinary people being hooked by this kind of weapon would be dead or disabled.
"Did we hit him? Won't he be crushed directly?"
"No, the ship speed is not fast, at most he will be hit unconscious. Keep him alive, the meat won't be fresh if he dies."
These pirates could no longer be called humans. They weren't good things to begin with, and they escaped to the sea after doing evil, in order to avoid the pursuit of the World Government and the Navy.
Just as these pirates were holding iron hooks looking for Su Xiao, a grappling hook suddenly broke through the sea and nailed firmly to the ship's side.
In the sea, Su Xiao tightened the Boundary Line, and his whole body was pulled upward. Zhan Long Shan appeared in his hand, and Blue Qing Qing Gang Ying was activated instantly.
The enemy's strength was unknown, so he still had to be cautious. This was the One Piece world after all.
With a splash, Su Xiao rushed out of the sea and went straight to the ship's side. He grabbed the outside of the ship's side with one hand and jumped onto the ship.
"Quick, this guy is not simple, kill him!"
A pirate roared, and dozens of pirates around swarmed up with sailor knives.
