Pirate: Eternal

Chapter 74 Ouroboros Chamber of Commerce

Plato once described that Ouroboros is an ancestral creature of the universe that is in a state of self-eating. It is immortal and has a perfect biological structure.

Ouroboros represents eternal life!

On the route from Alabasta to the Harvest Island, a merchant ship with a strange flag is sailing on the sea.

The pattern on the flag is a black snake holding its tail in its mouth and forming a circle with its entire body. The vertical pupils of the snake's eyes reveal a cold and ferocious look, as if it is watching everyone who looks up to it.

"Captain, is this the Chamber of Commerce logo I've never seen before? Do you follow the old rules?"

In a group of reefs near the Harvest Island, on the pirate ship hidden behind the reef, the lookout took back his monocular and reported to his captain.

The captain, who was standing on the deck waiting for the news, nodded, waved and shouted: "Boys, the idiot who sent the money is here, set sail!"

"Hoohoho!"

The pirates who were already ready to make a move screamed with excitement and quickly performed their duties. They lifted the anchor, turned the rudder, raised the sail, and steered the ship out of the reef group towards the merchant ship.

Pola took out the monocular and looked at the silhouette of the ship that suddenly appeared on the sea level in front of her. After seeing the pirate flag hanging on the ship clearly, her expression became solemn.

The pattern on the pirate flag is a skull with four long legs extending out from the left and right sides. The overall look is like a spider with a skull face.

"It's 'Water Ghost' Joanno, who has a bounty of 9000 million Baileys, a fruit user with the animal type, spider fruit, and silver spider form."

Putting down the monocular, Pola told Vlad and others the information about Joanno in his memory one by one.

"Silver Spider..."

Vlad rubbed his chin in thought.

Of course, spiders are not insects, but arthropods, belonging to the animal family among the three major families of Devil Fruit.

"Now that I think about it, it's actually this kind of creature!"

After pondering for a long time, Vlad finally remembered what the so-called silver spider was.

The Silver Spider, also called the Water Spider, is the only rebel of its kind - living in the world of water.

Water spiders can dive into the water, and the waterproof fluff all over their bodies will attach many bubbles, as if they have entered a sleeve with a closed air layer. This peculiar air shield turns the water spider into a mercury ball, which is dazzling.

The bubble group owned by the water spider is not only an oxygen storage device, but also an oxygen generator, which can continuously absorb oxygen from the surrounding water.

During the breathing process, water spiders gradually reduce the oxygen concentration in the bubbles. Once the oxygen content is lower than 16%, the oxygen dissolved in the water will replenish the bubbles on its own.

The reason why Vlad knew so much about water spiders was because he once saw a water strider floating on the surface of a pond. After mistaking it for a spider, he went to check the information and learned about the real water spider.

"Isn't this guy not afraid of sea water?"

Vlad suddenly realized that according to the characteristics of the water spider, it could swim in the sea!

Ordinary people don't feel much about being able to swim in the sea, but for Devil Fruit users, it's equivalent to missing a very big weakness.

This is much better than the fish fruit!

Users with animal type and fish fruit abilities can breathe in the water, but they also lose strength and cannot move due to the curse of the sea. They can move on land, but how strong can the fish that come ashore be?

It seems that except for Kaido's phantom beast, the blue dragon form, the other fish fruits are basically useless. They cannot move underwater and are not strong on the shore.

Finally, I found a Devil Fruit that is even more useless than Chopper's Everyone Fruit and Common People form, and there are a lot of them!

Just when Vlad's thoughts were distorted, as the distance between the two sides approached and entered the range of the artillery shells, the sound of successive shellings rang out.

boom boom boom-

The pirates seemed to be afraid of blowing up their trophies, or maybe the stroke master was not accurate, so the cannonballs all landed near the merchant ship and exploded into large waves.

Vlad stopped Ozma who put his hand on the handle of the knife and said, "Joann's fruit ability is quite useful. You'd better not take action. You need to stay alive."

This was not the first batch of pirates that Vlad and others encountered on this route. All the pirates they encountered before were chopped down by Ozma with a knife, and their people and ships turned into dust and sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Captain, this merchant ship doesn't even have cannons. It's a bit strange!"

After a long period of shelling, the pirate first mate finally discovered that the merchant ship had never fired back at them. After carefully observing the merchant ship, he found that the merchant ship did not even have a gun window.

His many years of experience in the sea told him that this was not a good thing, and there would be monsters when things went wrong.

He once saw a great swordsman riding a small sailboat and rowing a boat with a knife as an oar. This swordsman did not use guns or cannons and could cut off a mountain with just one slash.

This swordsman now has a well-known name in the sea, 'The World's Greatest Swordsman' Hawkeye Mihawk!

The first mate didn't believe that God was merciful today and sent a rich idiot who didn't know how to arm himself. He could only be a life-threatening monster like the swordsman he saw before!

Joanno nodded, feeling that everything was strange. The merchant ship's route did not change at all after being bombarded, and it did not panic at all!

"Stop the shelling! Keep your distance!"

Under the puzzled looks of all the pirates, Joanno pushed the helmsman away, turned the steering wheel to the right, turned the pirate ship around on the sea, and returned to the rocks.

One of the pirates wanted to ask, but when he met Joanno's serious gaze, he wisely closed his mouth.

On the ship, Joanno's authority is absolutely unquestionable!

"Something!"

On the merchant ship, Vlad raised his eyebrows when he saw the pirate ship suddenly turned around and left.

If you want to get along in this sea, you need strength and brains. Just like Kaido, he pretends to be crazy and acts stupid, but he is actually smart!

Only an idiot like Douglas Barrett, who only thinks about muscles, simply thinks that as long as he has strength, he can dominate the world and become the strongest.

It seems that Barrett has fallen under the halo of the movie and the protagonist, but in fact there is something wrong with his brain. Not to mention the Navy and CP0 beat him, even the pirates and the Revolutionary Army want to beat him. This is a lot of trouble. Dislike!

"We can't keep up."

Suddenly, Paula raised the chart in front of Vlad, pointed at the black spots marked with reef groups and said.

"Is there any terrain advantage..."

Vlad nodded, motioned for the helmsman to turn the helm, and looked at the increasingly smaller pirate ships on the horizon, with admiration in his eyes.

In this era where the materialistic people are hypnotized by Roger the Pirate King, there are not many pirates who can retreat bravely and act cautiously.

'Water Ghost' Joanno, this guy is a character!
