This was Meng Le's first time going out to sea ever since he came to the world of One Piece. He did not know which of the four seas the pirates had come from, but he was sure that it was not a new world. He had asked the system about the location of the land, but the system did not answer.
Meng Le stretched out his hand to feel the wind speed and asked Kurulu,""Is this the maximum speed or the average speed?”
"Master, this is the average speed. The maximum speed will only be reached when the current speed is increased by one-third. However, the maximum speed will not last long.”Kurulu replied.
Its current speed was about 20 knots, which was about 40 km/h. If it increased its speed by one-third, it would be 60 km/h.
Meng Le asked Kurulu to change a recliner for him. He lay under the shade of a tree without any entertainment, tea, or pastries. Meng Le gradually fell asleep.
"Master, Master. Quickly get up and take a look, I found the Devil Fruit."”Meng Le, who was still in a daze, was woken up by Kurulu. When he saw the glittering detector, he immediately put his face on the lid. [Devil Fruit: Ratty Fruit]
Kululu flew up and pressed Meng Le's head down, pointing it at the detector.""Look, Master, I've been looking for a long time. It should be at the bottom of the sea.”Previously, Kululu saw Meng Le sleeping, so she didn't disturb him. She only woke him up at the last moment.
"Alright, little guy, give me the detector. I'll go find the Demon Fruit.”Meng Le touched his head. His hair was too short, and it was a little prickly to touch.
The wooden strips that were originally used to secure the detector were untied, wrapped, and held up in front of Meng Le.
Meng Le took a look, picked up the detector, and said,""I'll be leaving first." He used a razor to dive into the sea.
This sea area wasn't too deep. Meng Le's body was tight now, and he could still withstand the high pressure underwater. At the bottom of the sea, he saw a bunch of bananas-like demon fruits stuck in the cracks of the rocks at the bottom of the sea.
On the observation platform, Meng Le was looking at the first non-system-produced fruit on the table with great interest. Kurulu was looking at it while chattering and suggesting ideas. Sometimes, she said that she would use the loot function to recover it, and sometimes, she said that she would give it to the tables and chairs on the ship.
In the end, Meng Le patted Kurulu's head and said,""You can keep this. If you keep it on the ship, you can know the situation at any time. It wouldn't be good if it was automatically sold by me in the system. Your master has tens of thousands of points.”
Kululu thought for a moment and agreed with Meng Le's approach. With a light stomp of his foot, a few wooden strips sprang out from the ground to form a small box. The box was wrapped with demon fruits. At the top of the box, the tree pattern formed: The animal is the fruit of a mouse. Then, the branch carried the small box into the boat and disappeared.
The detector pointed at the fruit that had disappeared, and the needle began to shift.
"Not detecting the fruits in the ship."
The needle began to calm down, and the detector stopped flashing. Meng Le let out a long sigh of relief. If the detector still pointed to the fruit, Meng Le would have no choice but to recall it or use it. Fortunately, the system produced it and was trustworthy. However, there was no instruction manual ~ Meng Le ridiculed.
"Now, continue sailing. We need to collect the Demon Fruits.”Captain Meng Le gave the highest order. Kurulu answered with a smile.
The Devil Fruit was said to be at the end of the Great Sea Route. There was a Devil Tree that was full of Devil Fruits. When the fruits fell, they would be washed away by the sea. There was also a saying that the Demon Fruit was not a product of this world, and it emitted an attractive force.
However, Meng Le did not have the heart to explore the source of the Demon Fruit. He only wanted to collect more Demon Fruits. Even if he didn't use it as points, he could still make the items on the ship have the power of the Demon Fruit.
The ship drifted on the sea for more than half a month. Every day, Meng Le practiced the domineering aura, the Six Forms of the Navy, the fruit ability, and the sword technique. Occasionally, when he went out to look for the Devil's Fruit, he would let Kululu drive to the nearest distance before Meng Le made his move. In half a month, other than the first fruit, he found three more fruits, but they were all animal-type.
Then, the Demon Forest arrived at a small inhabited island under the guidance of the detector.
The small island was similar to Meng Le's original island, and it was not large. Kurulu was left behind to watch the ship gloomily. After all, the power of her fruit was not strong enough, so she could not carry the Demon Forest with her. If she was too far away from the ship, her power would decrease. After Meng Le promised to buy her clothes with gold, she magnanimously let Meng Le go.
If the ship spirit on the ship had been replaced by a black cat like Kirino, Meng Le would not have cared. Unfortunately, Kululu's favorability did not show. He wore an animal skin apron every day. He didn't need the wind to blow his balls. He could easily move them around.
The village wasn't big. The villagers and children nearby all looked at Meng Le curiously. He was wearing an animal skin apron and holding a beast skin money bag in his hand. If they hadn't seen Meng Le come down from the boat, the villagers would have thought that she had jumped out of a rock.
When the Demon Forest was designed, there was no watchtower or anything like that. According to Meng Le's assumption, since the ship spirit could control the ship, anyone who boarded the ship would be discovered. The characteristic of the demon tree Satan made it impossible for aptitude users to board the ship. Kurulu could control the ship to turn freely, and it was difficult for the distant artillery shells to hit it.
The Demon Forest didn't hang a pirate flag, because there was no flagpole. However, when Meng Le became famous, this special ship would become a unique name.
It was not the era of the great pirates yet, so the number of pirates now was much lower than in the future. Pirates were too lazy to rob small islands like this.
He asked a few brave villagers and found a bank opened by the World Government. A bag of gold coins was exchanged for 700,000 Bailey.
Meng Le, who was wearing an apron, carried a suitcase and went to various shops in the small village. He bought clothes, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and collected various tea leaves from vegetable seeds.
Meng Le, who had been toiling for hours, wore a black samurai kimono, a Peony Sword on his waist, and bags of various sizes hung all over his body. After returning to the ship, Kurulu happily checked the various goods. Meng Le bought her two sets of pink kimonos and a bathrobe, but she didn't buy any underwear. Every time Kurulu finished inspecting an item, a moving platform similar to an elevator would appear on the ground to transport the item away. After checking all the goods, Kululu kissed Meng Le happily and went back to change.
Meng Le touched the place where he was kissed and felt that this shopping time was not wasted. Soon, Kululu appeared in front of Meng Le in a pink outfit.
" Master, do I look good? Do I look good?" Kululu asked as she tugged at the hem of her kimono and spun around in front of Meng Le.
" Of course it's beautiful. My Kululu is the most beautiful ship elf," Meng Le praised her without hiding it. The pink kimono with white cherry blossoms on it made Kululu look even more beautiful and cute on her 130cm body. However, she didn't have a favorable impression of her. Meng Le sighed in her heart.
"Alright, let's go. We have to work hard to collect the Demon Fruits.”
"Yes, Master."
After going to the village to purchase, Meng Le remembered that when Kululu failed to store the boat, it was inevitable that she would be left on the boat. If something happened at this time, the consequences were obvious.
" Exchange for 2 phone bugs."
"Exchange successful."
" Hint: The function of a smartphone is similar to that of a phone bug, and there has never been a case of a smartphone being unusable in this world. Smelting is recommended."
"Smelting: Smelting two items recognized by the system into one item. 1% Advancement (Stats Stacked, Data Increase, Special Effect), 5% Mutation (Stats Stacked, Unknown Attribute Added), 70% Fusion Success (Random increase of 1 equipment's attributes), 24% Fusion Failure (Both equipment disappear). The greater the difference in equipment, the higher the failure record. One-time use item smelting is not supported."
Meng Le hesitated for a moment and chose not to smelt it first. He called Kurulu over and used a phone bug to tell her what had happened just now.
The two of them discussed intensely for more than an hour before Meng Le finally decided to smelt it.
"Exchange for two 50-year Technology Upgrade Cards."
"Exchange successful."
"For smartphone and laptop usage.”
As the silver-white upgrade card gradually dissipated, the phone and laptop emitted a faint light. Meng Le and Kululu looked at these two high-tech products with anticipation.
When the system notification said,"Upgrade successful," the light just happened to go out. Kululu fiddled with her phone and computer curiously. Meng Le couldn't be bothered to see if there were any changes, so he went straight to the system to check his attributes.
"Smart phone (2061 version, upgradeable)"
"Laptops (Version 2061, Upgradeable)"
10,000 points, and he changed two numbers. Meng Le was a little speechless as he asked the system,""Why isn't there any effect after leveling up?"
"Because the version is larger than the primal world, the host needs to choose the direction of the evolution effect.”
"What's the evolution data like? I can't possibly evolve into a game or something, right?”
"The evolution data is limited according to the research strength of the primal world. Currently, it is 46 years ahead of the primal world. After the direction is limited, it will be specialized according to the research strength.”
"Alright, it looks very powerful. As for the mobile phone, I'll focus on multi-functions. As for the computer, I'll use smart solar power and voice-activated light and shadow.”
" Please wait a moment. It's evolving."
"Oh right, phones can change shape. Can I turn my phone into a phone bug?”Many worlds used cell phones. This cell phone cost Meng Le 5000 points, and Meng Le felt a little heartache.
"Cell phones transmit electronic signals while phone bugs transmit biological signals.”
"If I refine it into a telephone bug this time, can it be used in other worlds?”
"It can fuse with the phones in the world and make changes.”
When Meng Le heard that this was not an irreversible change, he was relieved.
"Evolution complete."
"Smart phone (2061 version, upgradeable): It was a shape-changing, voice-activated, multi-functional mobile phone that surpassed the era.”
"Laptops (2061 edition, upgradeable): It could be operated by solar energy, had basic logic intelligence, could be voice-controlled, and had a 3D recording function.”
When Meng Le saw the introduction of the phone and laptop, he remembered a saying: miscellaneous but not sophisticated.
Meng Le looked at the introduction of the smelting process and asked the system curiously,""Why is there no handling fee?"
"Because the equipment will disappear after failure, there is no handling fee.”
Meng Le wanted to pull the system out of his head and bite it when he heard that. Indeed, looks determined fate.
"Exchange for the Ruler Card."
"Exchange successful."
Kululu flew up when she saw the Ruler Card in Meng Le's hand, because she knew that Meng Le was about to start smelting.
