In the sky, a blazing sun hung high up in the sky, and the sun seemed to be boiling under the sun. The vast ocean stretched as far as the eye could see. On the blue waves, a young man was wailing loudly in a pitifully small boat.
"Hungry…"
After drifting on the sea for a few days, Li Yu could no longer remember. He only knew that he was starving to death. The little bit of dry food he had brought before he left had already been eaten up a few days ago.
In a small place like Frostmoon Village, there wasn't even a big boat. Other than the space where Li Yu was sitting, the rest of the boat was used to store dry rations. However, how much could a small boat without a granary carry? The rations had been used up a few days ago.
Li Yu looked at the sea in despair. He couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about how a peerless genius of a generation had died in the sea.
He didn't have any training equipment, so he meditated every day to save energy. However, after a few days, he was still so hungry that he rolled his eyes.
His vision blurred, and he seemed to see a small island in front of him.
How long had it been since he last saw an island? Was he hallucinating? He rubbed his eyes and looked again. The island seemed to be even closer!
He sucked in a breath of cold air. He was not mistaken! There was actually someone on this island. He widened his eyes and regulated his breathing. An idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly pulled out the two long knives at his waist. His hands stretched out like a bird's wings, and his two long blades were deep in the sea. He exerted his strength, and the water surface rippled. It was this movement that caused the small boat he was sitting on to row towards the small island.
Although the two long knives in his hands were not as good as the oars, Li Yu's arm strength was amazing. Every time he waved his hand, the boat would use the momentum to move far away. He repeated this a few times and gradually got closer to the island. After rowing for a while, Li Yu was so tired that he was panting heavily. His stomach had been empty for the past few days, so it was already good enough that he could row a boat with his arms. The island was right in front of him, but he was exhausted and powerless. Li Yu gritted his teeth, and fine beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He waved the knife in his hands, and the scene in front of him became more and more blurry. There was only one word in his heart, and that was-persevere!
There were a few small wooden houses built beside the beach on the island. Fishermen were drying their fish by the nets outside the houses. One of them saw a person rowing a boat with a knife on the sea and could not help but rub his eyes in surprise. He said to his companion,"Old Sa, am I dreaming? Is that person over there human?" As he spoke, he pointed in Li Yu's direction.
The fisherman called Old Sa turned around and was surprised to see the boat moving at an extremely fast speed. "Yes, yes, yes." He…he's coming towards us!”
He was getting closer, closer…He kept repeating the mechanical movements with the hilt of his sword in both hands until he felt the boat rise. The two long swords on his left and right were no longer in the water, but in the soft sand. Li Yu then staggered to his feet. At this time, his clothes were soaked in sweat and he staggered to the shore. Li Yu's vision blurred and he fell into the sea.
The two fishermen on the shore were stunned at the same time. They quickly stood up and ran to Li Yu's side. Seeing that he was an unconscious green man, they looked at each other and nodded. The tide was rising. If the two of them ignored him, Li Yu would definitely die. They cooperated with each other. One of them lifted Li Yu's body while the other carried his legs. They carried Li Yu to a small wooden house by the beach.
Seeing Li Yu's face crumble due to hunger, the fisherman called Old Sa was the first to react. He quickly left the house and went outside to find some dried fish. After drinking some water, he came back.
"Old Sa, what are you doing?" asked another person in confusion.”Old Sa dipped the fish in water and fed it to Li Yu as he explained,""He's hungry! After eating, she would wake up in a while!”
Sure enough, Li Yu woke up after eating the fish. He yawned and looked at the cabin in confusion. The two fishermen beside him immediately said happily,""You're awake!"
Li Yu scratched his green head, opened his eyes, and sat up. But when he turned his head to the two fishermen, the two of them screamed at the same time and retreated in fear.
Seeing their reactions, Li Yu frowned even though he had already expected it. He tasted the fishy taste in his mouth and said with a hint of intoxication,""Did you give me fish just now?~ Are there any more? Can you get me some more…I haven't eaten for days!”
However, the two of them ignored his question and kept retreating. Old Sa's voice trembled as he said,"You, you, what kind of monster are you?!”
Li Yu pursed his lips and finally said angrily,""You, you, you, what you? I'm a normal person! So what if his eyes were green? I hate it when people talk about my eyes! Hurry up and get me something to eat, or I'll smash this house!”
The two of them were shocked by his roar and were stunned for a long time. Li Yu was impatient and pushed the two of them. They immediately reacted and saw Li Yu in front of them. They couldn't help but tremble. Old Sa, on the other hand, was calmer. He asked in a trembling voice,""You, you…are you really human? Why…why should we believe you?" His voice was filled with doubt.
Li Yu gritted his teeth and thought, I have to explain to them again.”Therefore, he pointed at his own eyes and shouted,""This is called green eye disease. Have you heard of red eye disease? This was similar to that thing! It was passed down from his ancestors. I'm not a monster! Go and get me food…If I starve to death, you will die with me!”
Although Li Yu had already explained, the two of them were still confused. Seeing Li Yu's fierce appearance, they didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly went out to prepare the dried fish and said,"Wait a minute, I'll be right there."
The two of them took out the fish they had caught yesterday and used them all to entertain Li Yu. In addition, they also prepared prawns, crabs, and other seafood. Li Yu was so excited that his face twitched when he saw the delicious food on the table. "I…I'm not dreaming, am I?!" he muttered. It had been six years…six years since he had eaten so much seafood!”After saying that, he didn't even use his chopsticks. He reached out and grabbed a big fish and placed it in his mouth to eat.
The two fishermen were standing at the side, and his crazy eating completely shocked them. Although Li Yu looked fierce, the two of them could tell from the way he ate that he hadn't eaten for a long time. If they hadn't bumped into them, he would have starved to death at sea. As they thought about it, the confusion in their eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced by a touch of sympathy.
After about an hour, Li Yu patted his stomach in satisfaction as he looked at the table full of messy cups and plates. He sighed and thought, I'm alive again.”He looked up and saw the two fishermen beside him looking at him with sympathy. This made Li Yu feel disgusted and he couldn't help but snort coldly,""Although you have saved me, don't expect me to give you anything in return! I can't even take care of myself. You guys have no chance!”
The two of them understood that he had misunderstood and quickly said,"No, no, no, warrior, you misunderstood. We want to ask you, are you…are you still hungry?”
Li Yu pursed his lips when he heard their polite voices. He was not afraid of rude people, but he was afraid of polite people. Since he had already treated him like this, it was not good for him to be cold to him. Besides, Li Yu was not the kind of person who would bite the hand that fed him. He pondered for a moment and said lightly,"It's best if we have another plate of crystal prawns.”
The two of them nodded, and Old Sa went to the backyard to get prawns.
There was only one fisherman left beside Li Yu. He was standing beside Li Yu and looking at him. Li Yu glanced at him, gritted his teeth, and said,""Hey, you guys saved me. I'll definitely repay you in the future!”
The fisherman saw Li Yu's relaxed expression and quickly waved his hand with a smile.""Hehe, it's fine. It's nothing. We can't just watch you get washed away by the sea!”
Li Yu felt a warmth in his heart. He sighed at how many good people there were in the world. "What are your names?" he asked with a smile. Where is this island?"
"I'm Lille, and that was Sazier. We're all fishermen on the island." As for this island…it was still very small and had no name!”
" Oh," Li Yu replied. Nameless islands were very common in One Piece's world. The island he used to live on did not have a name. "Aren't you tired of standing?!" "Sit down…" As he spoke, he pointed at the stool beside him.
Lille looked at Li Yu and smiled approvingly. Then, he moved a stool and sat beside him…
Just like that, the two of them began to chat across the square table. In the end, the more they chatted, the more they got along. Li Yu couldn't help but ask,""Uncle Lille, I want to take an adventure on the great sea route. Do you know how to get there?!”
Hearing the words 'great seaway', a look of approval flashed across Lille's face, and he smiled: "Young man, you have ambition! But the great sea route was far from here! If you want to go there, you can't do it without a navigator and a big ship!”
Li Yu frowned. He took out the big leather bag and said,"Uncle Lille, I have 5000 Bailey here. How big can it be?"
Lille was stunned. He looked at Li Yu's big leather bag and frowned. Finally, he sighed and said," Little brother, it's not that I want to discourage you, but you're just a measly 5000 Bailey. I'm afraid…" He pointed at Li Yu's boat in the distance. "You can only buy that kind of boat!"
Li Yu's face turned green and purple, then purple and white. In the end, he cursed softly,"That damned old man only gave me so little." Swordsmen in this world were indeed poorer than the last!”
At this moment, Satchir returned after finishing cooking. He happened to overhear the conversation between Li Yu and the man, so he put the crystal prawn on the table and said to Li Yu with a smile,""Don't think that the ship is small. Let me tell you, with your 5000 Bailey assets, you probably won't even be able to buy a permanent pointer on the great sea route!”Li Yu was so shocked that he lay on the table and didn't dare to get up. He squeezed out a sentence from his teeth,"Then what should I do…?"
Li Yu never thought that the world of One Piece would be so difficult to survive in. To build a fleet was not just about having a dream. More importantly, money and companions! He didn't even have a decent sailing ship, and he didn't even know where to find a companion…It was simply a fantasy to be the Pirate King! Li Yu was getting angrier and angrier. He clenched his fist and smashed it on the table. Because he didn't control his strength, the table collapsed instantly and turned into pieces of broken wood.
Lille and Satchir stared at Li Yu in disbelief. They were surprised that he had such divine power. Lille finally understood why he could reach such a speed just by rowing the boat with a knife. It seemed that he really had extraordinary divine power!
Satchir's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but laugh."Little brother, you have this divine power. It's a pity that you don't use it! The town had been holding a Hercules competition for the past few days. If they won, they would get a prize! Aren't you worried about money now? Why don't we try our luck there?"
"Really?" Li Yu was surprised and said happily.”The thought of money made his blood boil. Satchir nodded and stood up.""Of course it's true. Lille, wait here. I'll bring little brother to the town to take a look!”
