The merchant ship sailed for a few days at sea. Although they encountered some other merchant ships or fishing boats, they did not encounter any pirates.
Thinking about it, it made sense. If they encountered pirates every two or three days, they wouldn't be able to do business. Who would risk their lives to give money to others?
Meanwhile, Ye Qi had not been idle for the past few days. She had been cultivating the minute control of the fruit's ability every day.
This way, he could quickly master the other fruits without losing control.
In the past few days, after the captain suddenly discovered that Ye Qi had the Devil Fruit's ability, he persistently hired her.
With such an expert, he could be at ease when transporting goods on the sea. He might even be able to counter-rob them.
However, even if he raised the remuneration to 10 million Bailey a month and increased it in the face of danger, Ye Qi did not have the slightest intention of moving.
In fact, he even said that if he continued to pester him, he would rob this merchant ship.
At this point, Ye Qi's ears were quiet. However, the old captain hid and did not dare to see him, afraid that he would suddenly become a pirate.
.....
"The pirates are here! The pirates are here!"
The sailor on the watchtower shouted in horror, and his body was covered in cold sweat.
"What? Pirates! I don't want to die yet!"
"No way! How could he be so unlucky to encounter pirates on his first trip out to sea?”
In an instant, the bored sailors were all terrified, and the order on the ship immediately became chaotic.
"Men, quickly call the captain out. Those over there, get ready to escape. Those who don't want to die, get moving!!”
An experienced sailor quickly ordered.
Although he was also scared to death, he knew that if the pirates really boarded the merchant ship, he would really die.
" Peng Tong-!!"
As the experienced sailor spoke, three cannonballs exploded near the merchant ship, sending up a water column that was dozens of feet high.
Unlike on land, the undulating sea water made the ship uneven, and the accuracy of the artillery shells was still relatively low.
"Ah! Help!"
"I'm going to fall! Quick, give me a hand!"
The cannonballs also caused the merchant ship to become unstable, and the ship was also swaying, closing the distance between the two ships.
"Where's that brat? Where's that brat who's looking for the pirates?"
The captain also hurriedly ran out of the cabin to look for Ye Qi. Now was not the time to be afraid of her robbing the merchant ship.
Compared to the pirates, he wanted to be robbed by that kid more. At least he wouldn't die.
"Hahaha…! This is our long-awaited prey. Don't run away. Hurry up and get closer. Cannon attack, destroy their masts!!”
A fat man wearing the standard pirate captain uniform laughed excitedly.
"Yes, great Captain Alex!”
The cannoneer lit the line of fire and fired three more cannons.
It was just that the aim was really not good. They did not even touch the side and only shook the merchant ship.
"Hurry up and get closer, my saber is already thirsty!!”
"I haven't seen blood in a long time.”
"Don't keep thinking about killing people. We're pirates. What we want is treasure and money!!”
The fat captain said as he held his broadsword.
"Great Captain Alex, if we kill everyone, won't the money be ours?？”
"Hahahaha! Then let's kill them all…"
"Yes, sir."
The pirate ships were meant for plundering, so their speed was definitely not slow. On the other hand, the merchant ships were already filled with goods, so their speed was not fast. With this, the gap between them quickly narrowed.
It was only a matter of time before he was robbed by pirates.
It was like the fear in the light of hope before death, with hope and despair.
Little brother, the pirates are here. The pirates you're looking for have appeared. Go and kill them!! Go quickly, I beg you!"
"Bang!"
The old captain came to Ye Qi in a panic. When he stopped, his legs went weak and he knelt on the deck to beg.
"Don't shout. It's so loud outside that I can hear you. What pirate group was it? How much is the bounty?"
Ye Qi asked nonchalantly as she crossed her legs. Her attention was completely focused on the colorless smoke between her hands as she kept changing her choices.
The panting old captain took a few steps back in fear, as if he had seen a biochemical gas, afraid that he would be exposed to something.
“... He did not know what pirate group it was. As for the bounty…He didn't know, but they were indeed pirates.”
the old captain suddenly said.
Merchant ships like them, which had no military strength, would be the same no matter what pirate group came to rob them. Therefore, when they saw the pirate flag, they would turn around and run, regardless of what pirate group it was.
"Forget it, I'll go and take a look myself.”
Ye Qi didn't waste any more words with him and directly walked out.
"Little ones! Snatch all the treasures and goods for me. Kill all the men and leave the women behind!!”
"Yes, great Captain Alex!”
The pirates waved their sabers excitedly and quickly boarded the merchant ship.
"Kill!"
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"Who is your captain? How much is the bounty?"
Ye Qi came to the deck and asked the pirate who had killed someone.
"Huh? Little brat?"
The man wearing the metal helmet lowered his head and glared at Ye Qi. He looked at the blood-stained knife in his hand and then at the fresh corpse at his feet.
He wondered in his heart, did he not look scary?？He couldn't even scare a little ghost!
"Hahaha…! Pei Ji, you can't do it! The two little brats aren't afraid."
"This little brat has delicate features. Don't be frightened. Boss likes this kind of little brat very much.”
"This is a merchant ship. There are no women here.”
"You guys go ahead. I'm not into this.”
"Hahaha…! Quentin, when you've been a pirate for a long time, you'll like this too!!”
The pirates surrounded her and sized her up with big laughs, not taking her seriously at all.
"F * ck…Die in pain!"
Spicy…
Hearing the pirate's unbridled words, Ye Qi couldn't take it anymore and blew out a mouthful of colorless spicy air like pepper spray.
Caught off guard, the surrounding pirates were all hit.
"Ah... My eyes…"
The spicy smell directly floated to his eyes. The pirate immediately dropped the knife in his hand and covered his eyes with both hands, trying his best to soften them.
Her eyes also felt a burning sensation, and she couldn't help but shed a large amount of tears.
"I also inhaled the spicy smell in my nose.!”
"There's also some in my mouth. Ah, it's so spicy!”
"Ah, cough cough!"
'Water, give me water. I'm so uncomfortable.'
"Give me ice, cough cough…Hurry up!"
The seven or eight pirates around them all covered their faces and shook their heads in pain to ease the discomfort in their nerves, as if they were trying to get rid of the thing that was torturing them.
Tears, snot, and saliva flowed out uncontrollably.
The eyes, the most vulnerable part of the human body, the nose that connected to the lungs, and the mouth that entered the stomach were all the most sensitive parts.
If these places were to come into contact with the spiciness of the morning pepper, it would not be a matter of death.
Instead, he would live in pain until his entire body was burned and he lost consciousness, or…His spirit collapsed first.
