It had been some time since Han had arrived in the North Sea with the pirate group. The crew gradually recognized Han as the second mate. Although Han was still a child in his teens, the pirates had subconsciously ignored this point.
With the good captain, there was meat to eat, soup to drink, and there was no danger. This could be seen from the pirate group. When they arrived at the North Sea, Captain Mobil led everyone to make a few trips. It was safe and they had a good harvest. There was no need to fight those fat sheep. As long as the ship approached them, they would automatically kneel down and offer a large sum of money with both hands. Just like that, the strength of the Noble Young Master's Pirate Team was slowly recovering, and the rookies could gradually be used.
Han had not been idle these days. Other than chatting with the pirates, learning their rich life experience, and observing the operation of the pirate group, he had been constantly perfecting his skills.
Han had always been thinking about some gorgeous and extremely powerful skills. Han pondered on it every day and practiced it from time to time, but he always felt that there was a layer of membrane that hindered the birth of his skills. Han was very confused. According to Captain Noah, he had already reached the level where he could create his own skills a year ago, but he still hadn't gained anything. Is there a problem with my method? Han was distressed.
On this day, Han was still sitting at the bow of the ship, thinking about his skills. Suddenly, he saw the large-mouthed gull that delivered the letter. Han stood up and waved his hand. The Large-Mouthed Gull flew down and dropped 100 Berris into the box tied to the Large-Mouthed Gull's neck. Han took today's newspaper. This was the third thing Han learned from Captain Mobil after joining the Pirates: Pay attention to gathering information at all times.
He opened the newspaper and scanned the headlines. He didn't find anything noteworthy. Then, he looked at the arrest warrant. Eh, this is…
" Everyone, pay attention." Han jumped onto a bucket on the deck and shouted at the pirates,""Captain's bounty has increased! 50 million Bailey! The vice-captain also had 15 million Bailey!”
"Oh oh!" The pirates cheered.
" Let me see." The first mate pushed through the crowd and rushed over."What? Why hasn't someone as handsome as me been offered a reward? This was simply unfair to all the beauties in the world!”
" Fortunately, there's no bounty on your head," Han rubbed his aching hand behind his back and said darkly,""Otherwise, the beauties will have nightmares at night.”
"Haha, First Mate, I heard that the girl from the town thought you were too ugly and charged you double the price?”A pirate beside him teased.
"Get lost!" When the first mate heard this, he was immediately furious. He picked up the weapon beside him and chased after the pirate. For a moment, the entire ship was filled with the sound of fighting.
Han didn't join in their banter. Instead, he walked straight to the captain's cabin and knocked on the door gently.”After that, he pushed the door open and walked in.
The captain's cabin was very luxurious, very much in line with the title of noble young master. Pure wool carpet, large desk, large bookcase, every decoration and display item was a masterpiece obtained from previous battles, priceless. It was not Han's first time here, so he was already used to these gorgeous decorations. He was not as shocked and helpless as he was when he first entered.
"Captain, this is today's newspaper.”Han respectfully handed the newspaper to the elegant man sitting behind the desk. The sunlight shone through the window and onto him, making him look so noble that all the treasures in the room paled in comparison. In Han's eyes, this scene was like the real aristocrats in the portraits he had seen in his previous life.
"Han, thank you." Still smiling humbly, the captain took the newspaper and added,""Pay attention to your vigilance.”
" Yes, Captain." Han bowed and left the captain's cabin.
After ordering the lookout to be on guard, Han returned to the bow and thought about his moves.
Not long after, the captain walked out of the cabin door, clapped his hands, and shouted at the pirates,"Brothers, we have big business! A large merchant ship loaded with some precious goods was heading towards the Beihai naval base. Fortunately, they only had two medium-sized warships to escort them. This was their chance to destroy them before the other navies could react. After this, we will leave the North Sea. So…"
"Destroy them!" "Treasure!" "Ohhhh!" Before the captain could finish, the pirates cheered as if they had blown the warship to the bottom of the sea and successfully snatched the treasure.
The captain of Mobil was quite satisfied with the high morale. He nodded and turned to the helmsman."Right full helm, 4 o'clock, full speed ahead!”
The battle began the moment the sun set. They pretended to be lost merchant ships to join the fleet to gain trust. When they got close, they suddenly raised the pirate flag. The pirates were very familiar with this move. The gunners of the Pirate Regiment didn't disappoint the captain's hopes. With a round of salvo, they managed to incapacitate the merchant ship during the sneak attack. After all, the opponent this time had two warships. Therefore, they couldn't care less about the small losses caused by injuring the merchant ship. They had to stop it first before they could focus on dealing with the warships.
After the artillery bombardment, it was time to engage the warships. It was foolish to compete with the warships in artillery bombardment. If they approached one of the warships, they would first concentrate their forces to deal with them, then deal with the other.
The plan was very successful. This time, the captain did not supervise the battle from the back. Instead, he took the lead and rushed to the front with the vice-captain. Together with the first mate, Han. The four of them formed the sharpest arrowhead, piercing straight into the weakest point of the navy.
The commander of the navy was a major general, and he had some strength in his hands. However, he encountered Captain Mobil, and after a fierce battle, Mobil caught his weakness and dealt with him with a trump card.
Other than the major general, there were no other strong opponents on the warship. Han also seized the opportunity to make up for some of the shortcomings in his moves. When another warship approached and wanted to provide support, the navy on this warship had already been cleaned up. The situation had fallen into Captain Mobil's plan from the very beginning. Han had also learned the fourth point: a perfect battle plan could sometimes be worth thousands of troops.
Next, it was the pirates 'favorite time to harvest the spoils of war. Captain Mobil was right. There was indeed a lot of valuable goods on this merchant ship. Han stood at the bow of the ship and watched the happy pirates busy packing up their spoils.
" It was a very easy battle." Han yawned out of boredom. Moreover, he did not have any breakthroughs in his moves. He had gained nothing.
" Second mate," a pirate shouted at Han,""The captain wants you to go over. He said that there seems to be something interesting in this battle.”
Something interesting? Han's curiosity was piqued because he knew that anything that caught the captain's eye was definitely not a mediocre product. "Coming!" Han jumped onto the deck and ran towards the captain.
" Han, you're here." After greeting him, the captain pointed at the two items on the table and said,""This thing is quite interesting."
Following the captain's finger, Han's eyes drifted to the table. "Demon Fruit?" Han couldn't help but shout.
"You know about this?" Captain Mobil was also surprised.
" I've heard of it," Han answered absent-mindedly, but his eyes were fixed on the fruit. It was really ugly.
" This is for you," the captain said with a wave of his hand.
" Give it to me." Han hesitated. Han knew the power of the Devil's Fruit. It required a lot of willpower to reject such a thing.
Han was just about to agree when Captain Noah's words suddenly rang in his mind. Your technique is not mature yet. If you rashly borrow external forces, once you become dependent, you will never be able to reach the peak again in this lifetime. Thinking of this, Han retracted his hand from the fruit, took a deep breath, and said,"Forget it, I don't want it.”Although Han was reluctant to part with it, he still forced himself to focus on another item on the table. It was a strange book with strange words written on the cover that Han could not understand.
"You don't want it anymore?" Mobil was not surprised. He casually picked up the fruit and threw it to the first mate, saying,"Go and ask whoever wants this thing. As long as they don't participate in this share, this thing will belong to them.”
The first mate took the fruit with a strange expression. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out of the hatch, muttering something.
"Who would want this lousy thing?"
Captain Mobil turned around, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Han staring at the book, he said,""Take it if you want to see it. Just remember to give it to me after you're done.”
At night, the pirates gathered together, singing and drinking to celebrate their victory. Han didn't participate, but hid in the cabin and carefully flipped open the book, which seemed to be an extremely mysterious demon book in both this life and the previous life's novels.
It was a picture of a fruit with some explanations. It was a very ordinary book. Han did not open the book and an elf appeared. Han was slightly disappointed. He looked at the words carefully. Fortunately, it was in the common language.
[Nature Element: Frost Fruit, Fire Fruit, and then nothing else?] Han shook the book in confusion and flipped through it. It was gone. Impossible, Han thought to himself. There were more fruits of the Nature Element than these. Could it be that there were really a few Demon Illustrations? Was this just one of them?
Forget it, it was enough to see this. Han didn't insist, but continued to read. Giraffee Fruit, Slow Fruit, Leopard Fruit, Bubble Fruit…They were all things he had seen in his previous life. There were also some fruits that Han had never seen before. They were quite funny. Han looked at them while laughing, and slowly fell asleep in comfort.
