It was impossible to go out to sea, so Chris could only enter the forest.
The most important thing now was to find food and water.
Chris walked in without any weapons in his hands. With the power of the Mercury Fruit, it was more than enough to protect himself.
............
"Boom…"
A huge tiger broke through a few trees and rushed in front of Chris.
This tiger was seven to eight meters tall. Compared to it, the tigers on Earth were like kittens.
"Roar…"
The tiger opened its mouth and roared. Its saliva flowed all over the ground. It seemed that it wanted to have a taste of humans tonight.
Chris wanted to fulfill its wish, but if it ate Chris, it would only taste mercury. Therefore, Chris could only be helpless.
By the way, what did mercury smell like? Has anyone eaten it before?
If it was Chris in the past, he would have immediately turned around and ran away when he saw a tiger. However, now that his body had become a cockroach, he felt very strong.
Hence, Chris chose to face the tiger head-on!
Chris jumped eight meters high and punched the tiger in the head.
"Boom!"
The tiger was sent flying by Chris's punch. Its body crashed into a few trees and fell to the ground.
The tiger's fangs were broken, and its mouth was full of blood. It was actually killed in one hit.
Chris thought he was very strong, but he didn't know how strong he was because he hadn't fought since he obtained his ability and physique.
But now, he had actually killed such a huge tiger with a single punch.
According to his speculations, this giant tiger's strength was definitely not weaker than those pirates with a bounty of 5 million.
"It seems that my strength has indeed become much stronger.”Chris was secretly pleased with himself.
Chris had grown up fighting since he was young, so he knew how to fight. Now, without the fruit ability, he had the strength of millions of pirates just based on his physique.
If he used the fruit's ability, there would be hundreds of millions of supernova pirates.
"There's meat to eat tonight."
Chris looked at the tiger's corpse. At least there was no lack of food. Now, he just needed to find a water source.
Chris carried the tiger's corpse and continued deeper into the forest. Finally, he found a small river.
Making fire by drilling wood was child's play for Chris. Chris directly skinned the giant tiger and roasted it.
A meaty fragrance wafted around, and there was oil on the meat. Chris's stomach growled when he saw this, and he could not stop drooling.
After gorging himself, Chris climbed up a tree to rest, leaving only the skeleton of a giant tiger on the ground.
After the change in his physique, Chris's appetite had also undergone a drastic change. He had actually finished such a huge tiger by himself.
Chris also felt that his digestion speed was very fast. The food was converted into energy to quickly replenish Chris's stamina.
This was the physique of humans in One Piece's world. Being able to eat meant that one's physique was strong.
Karp, Luffy, and Ace were classic examples. Luffy and Ace had been gluttonous since they were young, and Luffy was a super foodie. He could eat up the food reserves of a warship alone.
It was no wonder that someone could develop such a heaven-defying skill like " Life Return."
He relied on eating to replenish his stamina and quickly recover his stamina and vitality. Even his wounds could heal quickly.
Luffy was like this. Every time he was seriously injured, he would eat a big meal and sleep. When he woke up, his injuries were already 70% to 80% healed, and he would instantly be full of health.
" I have two choices now. One is to build my own ship and leave, or to wait for a passing ship." Chris was thinking about how to leave the deserted island.
"I don't know how to build ships!"
If Chris 'boat leaked and sank into the sea, wouldn't he be in trouble? He was an aptitude user, so he couldn't swim!
Even if the ship was fine, Chris did not know how to sail. Therefore, he could only choose the second option.
The fact that I was able to float here meant that there was a sea route nearby. I'll wait a few days first. If I really can't wait, I'll consider building a ship.
Chris's main goal now was to leave this deserted island. Only by leaving the deserted island could he accept the mission and then fight monsters to level up and become stronger.
It was now the year 1516 of the Haiyuan Calendar, and there were still four years before Luffy set sail.
"The time period has been determined. Now, think about your future life plans.”
Chris had just eaten his fill. Now that he was lying down to digest his food, he naturally had to think about his future plans.
"The navy?"
"Not good. Being in the navy is not free.”
"Become a pirate?"
"Although I won't burn, kill, and rob as a pirate, it's not good to be chased by the navy every day.”
"I'll just be a bounty hunter. I'll be compatible with the system.”
"We should keep a low profile in the early stages and slowly accumulate strength. We'll talk about it when we have the strength to protect ourselves.”
If he offended some big shot and had no choice but to become a pirate, it did not matter. At that time, his strength would definitely be very strong.
So what if they were pirates? They were not afraid of being chased.
"System, what is my current mission?”Chris asked.
"Yes, host. The current mission is to eliminate a criminal with a bounty of more than 10 million Bailey. The reward for the mission is the cultivation of Sword Slayer.”The system's voice was still cold.
"Ten million? This mission is very simple for me. Furthermore, he got what he wanted. The reward was actually a sword technique.”
However, the mission was very simple. The most difficult part was to leave the island.
Next, he would cultivate first to familiarize himself with his body and then develop the fruit's ability.
............
A few days later, on a deserted island.
A figure shuttled through the forest at high speed. He jumped back and forth between the branches without any obstruction. Even Monkey was not as agile as him.
This person was Chris. After a few days of training, Chris had completely gained control of this body. He had also completely adapted to the power brought about by the change in his physique.
Chris landed in front of a big tree that could fit five people.
Chris stretched out his palm, and the flowing mercury quickly condensed into a long sword.
With a flash of sword light, Chris had already cut down the giant tree.
The mercury sword itself was very sharp. Coupled with Chris's immense strength, it was simply too easy for him to do this.
" I don't know any swordsmanship at the moment. I only know how to slash with a sword. I can do this all thanks to the fruit's ability and my own strength." Chris was a little dissatisfied.
"Let's try other tricks."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chris stretched out his index finger. A cold light shot out from his index finger. The cold light was extremely fast and instantly penetrated the rock in front of him, leaving only a tiny needle hole.
Chris tapped his fingers repeatedly. Whoosh whoosh. The dense cold light shot the rocks into a hornet's nest and then shattered on the ground.
This was Chris's " Water Silver Needle ".
Chris shot out a thin needle made of mercury from his finger. The sharp needle and its speed could instantly pierce through rocks, and it was very lethal.
If it was shot into the human body, the silver needles would instantly liquify without Chris's control because mercury was liquid at room temperature.
This way, the mercury would remain in the enemy's body. If he wanted to take it out, he would have to cut his flesh. Moreover, mercury was highly toxic, and the injured enemy would also be poisoned. One could imagine how terrifying this move was.
"Try the Mercury Shield again!"
Chris created a large ball of mercury that floated in front of him. Then, the mercury solidified into a shield, and the shield turned into a ball that wrapped around Chris. This was an absolute 360-degree defense with no blind spots.
In the future, if Chris learned the armed color of Haki and covered his shield with it, his defense would be even more terrifying. As long as he could not break the shield, he would not be able to hurt Chris.
"Hah! Mercury Shuriken!"
Chris waved his hand and shot out a large number of mercury shurikens.
"Bang bang"
The big tree that was hit directly shattered, and the trunk was turned into a sieve.
Then, large amounts of mercury flowed out from under Chris 'feet, covering an area of more than 30 meters around him. The grass withered, and the trees began to turn yellow and dry.
Then, the mercury instantly hardened into a sharp knife and laid on the ground. At a glance, the ground was filled with sharp spikes.
This was the fusion of liquid mercury and solid mercury. There was only one move now, and it was a large-scale AOE move.
If the enemy was wrapped in mercury, then his body would be instantly pierced, and the attack would be impossible to defend against.
"Yes, this move is called Milky Way Assassination!”
Chris practiced his moves in the forest until he ran out of energy. He looked around at the ruins.
The moves Chris was developing now consumed very little stamina.
He had also practiced big moves before, such as learning the Red Hound's Great Fire Breath. He would shoot a large amount of mercury into the air and then explode in the air. The falling mercury sword could cause AOE damage in a large area.
He named this move Blade Storm. However, Chris could only think but could not do it. He did not have enough physical strength.
He had not developed enough of the Mercury Fruit, and his control was far from enough. Once the Mercury was more than 30 meters away from him, he would not be able to maintain its solid state.
This could only be done by practicing day and night, or by the system rewarding him with fruit proficiency points or something like that. However, Chris believed that he could do it in the future.
