----------------------------------------------------------------------
As the saying goes, habit becomes nature. In the past three years, Meng Le had forced himself to train in the beginning, but in the end, he had gotten used to it. Sometimes, he would play with the two little fellows, and his life could be considered leisurely.
However, he couldn't be carefree all the time. The Demon Forest had just reported that it had found a demon fruit, and the fruit was moving!
After hearing the news, Meng Le knew that someone was carrying the Devil's Fruit with them. It should be the Sea Order or the Navy.
Meng Le had encountered the so-called " pirates " a few days ago. However, after the battle, he realized that they were not very powerful. Perhaps it was because the strong had all gone to the new world, or perhaps it was because the density was not high enough, so the probability of encountering strong people was low. Every time Meng Le was unable to fully move, the other party would be killed. What made Meng Le the most sad was that the spoils of war were not recognized by the system, or rather, they were not of high enough quality.
Upon hearing that there was a Devil Fruit, Meng Le ordered them to head towards the direction of the Devil Fruit without hesitation.
He made the ship erect two transparent boards and transformed them into a super telescope. Meng Le saw that the flag of the navy was floating on it. It was made up of one large ship and three small ships, forming a fleet.
After sailing for a while, Meng Le realized that the navy was slightly adjusting their course, and they were heading straight for Meng Le. The navy on the deck began to load their ammunition. As the saying went, one had to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain and the water to drink the water. In the Sea Rules, the sea area was much larger than the land area, which caused the number of pirates to remain high. Other than naval warships, there were basically pirate ships on the sea. There were sporadic restaurants on the sea, but these were only individual cases.
They were still a few nautical miles away from the ship, which was the limit of the cannonball's range. Meng Leyue left Kurulu and the big insect on the ship and asked the Demon Forest to keep a distance. Then, she rushed to the fleet in front of her.
The navy was very relieved that there was someone who could fly in the East China Sea, but this action was obviously not a sign of peace.
With a bang, the ship's cannonballs began to fight. Although the navy in the anime was weak, Meng Le was not prepared to take the cannonballs head-on. He changed his direction in the air and passed through the dense net of cannonballs.
Meng Le, who was standing on the observation deck, knocked out the navy officer beside him and took out his detector. He found that the direction was under his feet.
The navy was very cautious when they saw strangers on the deck. Not every pirate could fly, and not every pirate who could fly could dodge shells.
A man who was obviously dressed in better clothes than the soldier beside him came to a few meters away from Meng Le and reprimanded him sternly,""As a pirate, you're actually so bold to think of attacking the navy. I think you're tired of living.”
Meng Le didn't say anything. He just held his sword and looked at the navy executive opposite him with interest.
This time, the navy on the other side was a little angry and clamored to kill Meng Le.
With a wave of his hand, the marine soldiers fired at Meng Le.
Meng Le was dressed in a black samurai kimono. He hugged his sword and twisted his body casually. He used the domineering aura of sight to dodge all the bullets.
The bullets in the guns were all used up. The group of navy soldiers looked at Meng Le, who was unscathed, in surprise.
This executive had some experience. When he saw Meng Le dodge the bullet, he realized that this was probably the legendary domineering aura. Although he wanted to be afraid, he was surrounded by navy soldiers. He pulled out his knife and attacked Meng Le again.
Meng Le didn't unsheathe his sword. When his opponent's sword and scabbard came into contact, he took a step back and used his strength to block his opponent's attack. The next few attacks were easily blocked or dodged by Meng Le. Meng Le had been looking forward to his attacks, but he realized that his strength was average. He didn't have the ability of the fruit, nor did he have the domineering aura. He didn't even know the Six Navy Styles.
Meng Le couldn't be bothered to waste time with him. He knocked him down with his scabbard and looked at the navy soldiers who wanted to charge at him. Meng Le used the Conqueror's Haki. The air seemed to have condensed and was hit hard. The navy soldiers fainted.
Although this navy executive wasn't very strong, his ability to withstand attacks was relatively strong and he didn't faint. She looked up weakly at Meng Le and asked,"Why attack the navy?"”
Meng Le, who was about to enter the cabin, heard the voice behind him and turned to look at him. He said matter-of-factly,"I heard that you have the Demon Fruit on your ship. I'm here to take the Demon Fruit.”After saying that, he did not care about his reaction and went in to look for the Demon Fruit.
After the detector had adjusted its direction multiple times, Meng Le walked to the deck with a box. Meng Le saw that the navy from the three nearby boats had all come to the big ship. However, the navy who came later looked at Meng Le with fear. The navy executive who was knocked down by Meng Le was supported by two navy soldiers to stand in front.
However, he knew his own limits. He did not say any harsh words, nor did he threaten Meng Le. He only stared at him and asked for his name.
"Do you want to arrest me? My name is Meng Le, the captain of the Demon Forest.”Meng Le told him his name indifferently.
In this world, there were people who could beat Meng Le, but it was a different story if they could meet him. In the future, he would definitely have to deal with the navy. Meng Le did not care much about the wanted list that would be issued sooner or later. So what if he was wanted? He wouldn't get pregnant after being wanted.
On the observation deck of the Demon Forest, a large telescope was erected in front of Kurulu and the big insect. The lens was aimed at Meng Le. Kululu was confident in Meng Le's combat ability and treated it like a movie. On the other hand, the big insect was very worried. After all, it had just gained intelligence, and this was the first time it had seen Meng Le fight.
Meng Le, who had returned to the observation deck, looked at the two little things speechlessly. There were two cups of tea in front of Kurulu, who was sitting on the recliner. The big cup was for herself, and the small cup was for Big Insect. Big Insect was lying on the table.
He opened the box outside the Demon Fruit and threw it on the ground. A hole appeared under the fruit, and the hole was filled up after the fruit fell in. He came to the empty space beside Kurulu and lay back. A recliner quickly formed on the ground to catch Meng Le. A wooden stick was pulled out from the ground. On the top of the stick was a cup of hot tea. Meng Le drank the tea and chatted with the two of them. As for this battle, other than the big insect talking excitedly, Meng Le and Meng Hao didn't take it seriously.
It was said that happiness came too quickly, but there were many things that came faster than happiness.
A few days later, Meng Le saw the new issue of the newspaper. It was printed with Meng Le's bounty.
" Meng Le: Captain of the Demon Forest."
[Age: Unknown]
" Ability: Unknown "
[Weapon: Single Blade]
" Region of appearance: Eastern Sea."
" Offence: Robbing a naval vessel in public."
" Bounty: 50,000,000 Bailey."
In the middle of the wanted poster was a black samurai kimono with a sword in his arms. There was no such thing as a sword in One Piece, so the bounty was for a single sword.
Kurulu grabbed the wanted poster and looked at it with Da Chong. Then, she said to Meng Le,""Master, next time, change into a set of nice clothes before you fight.”
The bug didn't agree with Kurulu's point of view.
" I think I should wear armor like mine, shiny and shiny." As she spoke, she even used her soft feet to wipe the outer shell.
"Tsk ~ What's so good about armor? It should be..."
Meng Le was embarrassed. From the arrest warrant to the battle, the battle and the clothing, before the words could land on the floor, they had already drifted to the next door. " It's shiny. Do you want it?" Meng Le complained in her heart.
Before the era of the great pirates, there were not as many pirates as in the future, so the bounty was not too high. This time, Meng Le was offered a bounty of 50,000,000 yuan because of the vile nature of the matter. It was an open challenge to the world's government. It was just like how the punishment for robbery and theft was different.
However, due to the fact that the navy executive had a big problem with his own strength, the world government thought that Meng Le's strength was average.
Meng Le sat on the chair and watched the two kids argue non-stop about meaningless topics. She recalled the story of One Piece in her mind.
This year, 30 years before the plot, Bruno was born.
The year before last, Tina was born 32 years ago.
Two years later, 28 years before the plot, Robin was born.
Eight years later, Roger surrendered and was executed. This year was the 22nd year of the storyline.
The protagonists who would stir up the waves of pirates in the future had just been born. Other than outsiders like Meng Le, who would have thought that they would be able to do so?
The East Sea was not big because Meng Le only wandered in the East Sea. It wasn't small, because it was rare to see ships on the open sea. Later, when he was collecting the fruits, he often encountered navy and pirates. When it came to the navy, Meng Le wouldn't choose to kill. After all, Meng Le didn't want to attract the attention of the world's government so quickly. When they encountered pirates, most of them would kill the leader and rob the treasure. As for the little ones, they did not care. After all, most pirate leaders were not kind people.
In the beginning, the navy saw that Meng Le only knocked them down and did not take the initiative to attack, so they had little hostility towards Meng Le and his group. Later on, he discovered that every time the navy set sail with the Devil's Fruit, the chances of encountering Meng Le's attack were much higher. Therefore, on a certain wanted notice, Meng Le was named as a "collector" by the world government.
In the next three years, all the navy, pirates, and residents of Donghai knew of Meng Le's name. It was a disgrace to the navy, Meng Le. He was robbed every time, but it was not fatal. To the pirates, Meng Le was a demon. Although Meng Le only killed the captain of the pirate ship, sometimes he could not help but kill a few passersby. To the residents of Donghai, Meng Le was a good person. Every time he came to a different city or village, there were no incidents of him hurting people, except for some mountain bandits who didn't know his name. Furthermore, Meng Le's existence had reduced the rate of pirates going out to sea in the East Sea.
Similarly, Meng Le and the others had gained a lot in the past three years. There were 82 fruits in total, 3 of which were of the Natural type, 24 of which were of the Superhuman type, and the remaining 55 were of the Animal type.
Meng Le's swordsmanship, domineering aura, and the Six Forms of Navy had probably reached a bottleneck. Other than feeling that he was getting more and more comfortable using them, there was no major breakthrough. The fruit's ability to remove impurities in the body had finally improved. Now, it could be used by others. The targets of cleaning were the ship elves and phone bugs. There was no unpleasantness of removing their clothes and shells. They only needed direct skin contact to control the blood in their bodies.
The giant insect still didn't have much ability. However, after Meng Le cleaned its impurities every day, its outer shell became brighter and its crawling speed became faster. Even though it could still move while lying on the boat.
The ship elf, Kurulu, was finally able to shrink the ship by a hundred times in three years. According to Kurulu, the bag fruit used the fruit's ability to create a space, wrap objects, and change the size of objects. It wasn't a very powerful spatial fruit like Meng Le had imagined. If the object was a living creature, then the wrapping wouldn't work if the creature resisted. After testing it out, even a bug-like existence like the big bug was not something that Kurulu could handle.
For three years, Meng Le wandered around the East China Sea and took away the Demon Fruit. Meng Le had collected the Devil Fruits that had been hidden in the East China Sea for countless years. Now, it was not as easy to find as before. Meng Le, who was wandering around, wanted to communicate with different people more and more. So one day, Meng Le decided to hold a crew meeting. There was a person, a boat of elves, and a phone bug at the meeting. After an intense and random discussion, Meng Le decided to temporarily settle down in Roguetown.
Thus, under the guidance of the detector, the route was changed and they headed towards the place where One Piece fell.
