Chapter 4: Giant Ape on the Deserted Island
Zavia looked around at this coastline, his expression appeared very confused, with this appearance he could not confirm at all which anime world he was in.
"Hmm? What's that?"
Suddenly, Zavia seemed to catch a glimpse of a black shadow out of the corner of his eye. That black shadow was floating on the sea, although it looked small from afar, it was estimated to be quite large up close.
Zavia squinted his eyes and carefully observed this black shadow. After becoming a demon, Zavia's physique had been enhanced in all aspects, no matter if it was athletic ability or some other things, such as vision, sense of smell, etc.
"Is that a pirate ship??"
After some difficult focusing, he could vaguely make out the pirate flag fluttering on the ship, but he could only see the skull on it.
(So what should I do? Letting them notice me is one thing, but the main thing is what should I do after they notice me? Should I kill them or temporarily "join" them for now?)
Zavia retracted his gaze, his eyes gradually becoming dead fish-like, as he looked at the pirate ship and thought of countermeasures.
In fact, as soon as he saw the ship, he had already guessed with high probability that this was the One Piece world, and now after seeing that flag, he was 100% certain this was One Piece.
As for the countermeasures? It wasn't that he was very confident in his own strength, to see how strong a pirate group was, the ship itself decided this factor to some extent.
If a pirate group's captain and crew were all extremely powerful, then the size of the ship would absolutely not be small.
Even Straw Hat Luffy, the protagonist of this world, his ship the Sunny could be considered medium to large among ordinary ships, and there was no need to expand further because Luffy didn't need that many crew members.
But the ship he saw now, although the distance was a bit far, with the help of his demon physique and his otaku brain from his previous life, he could determine that this was a ship about the same size as the Merry, that is, a caravel.
Of course, it was not ruled out that there were some like Hawkeye, whose ship looked so big, but in the end there were only two or three people.
"Hmm, so far away, even if I waved and shouted, they wouldn't notice me. Setting a fire... forget it, I can only pray that they haven't been to this stretch of sea before, and will come here."
Zavia shrugged, giving up on his own countermeasures, and walked back towards the depths of the forest. He planned to continue exploring this island to see if there was anything that could identify it.
After all, this might become his startup base, though he didn't know where this place was.
It could be any of the Four Blues, or even Paradise or the New World. After all, who knows?
Zavia left the coast like this and headed deeper until his figure gradually disappeared into the shadows of the trees.
————
At this time, 1,000 meters away from the island where Zavia was located, a pirate ship was sailing here on the sea surface, and behind it was the relentless pursuit of the Navy.
"Damn it! You gotta be kidding me?! Why did I run into this guy here!? Why is he in the East Blue?!"
On the pirate ship flying a skull flag, a slightly thin but well-built man with bangs was standing on the second floor railing of the ship. He slammed his right hand angrily on the railing.
His name was Morgan Mohsen, a bounty of 25 million berry pirate, known as "Executioner" Mohsen, for the reason that when he killed people, it resembled an executioner's actions.
"Captain! More cannonballs incoming!"
At this moment, one of the panicked pirates below yelled out, bringing Mohsen back from his mental state.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two of the three cannonballs exploded on both sides of Mohsen's ship, while the last one was at the stern.
"Hahahaha! Little brats! Keep running! This old man will definitely catch you and throw you into Impel Down, kuhahaha!"
Behind the pirate ship, a Navy battleship was tightly following, this Navy battleship was very large, probably at the Vice Admiral level. There was nothing particularly noticeable about this battleship, if one had to point something out, it would be the dog head in front of the battleship.
On the battleship, a man wearing a dog head mask was standing at the foremost cannon bay, both hands grabbing two cannonballs from the side cannons.
That's right, grabbing, and from his stance, it looked like he was about to throw these two cannonballs out.
And that was exactly what happened the next second, the man's mouth grinned wildly under his mask, with only a muffled grunt, the cannonballs in his hands were thrown directly out, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
"As expected of Vice Admiral Garp."
"Yes, Vice Admiral Garp is really amazing."
Behind the man, two navy soldiers praised the man, with admiring expressions on their faces.
"Hey! You two!"
Suddenly, the man looked back and pointed at the two soldiers who had just praised him with his calloused right hand.
"Yes sir! Do you have any orders Vice Admiral Garp?!"
"The cannonballs are almost out, go get some more."
"What??!! Vice Admiral Garp! You're at it again!"
The two soldiers looked at the navy in front of them called Garp with helpless expressions, while the latter was laughing loudly (sweat).
"Sigh, who knows how many cannonballs Vice Admiral Garp has wasted this month."
"I know right, when will Vice Admiral Garp change this habit, always wasting cannonballs like this isn't good."
The two soldiers complained as they left the deck to get the spare cannonballs from below deck.
"Hahahaha! It's fun to play like this occasionally!"
The navy called Garp just picked his nose, then flicked away the unidentified object stuck on his finger, and laughed out loud. He was one of the most famous figures in the Pirate World, Navy Hero "Iron Fist" Garp!
If one had to talk about Garp's heroic achievements, there were simply too many to count, but if one had to count his most famous deeds, it would surely be the Golden Lion Battle and capturing the Pirate King.
"Hmm? Those brats are planning to escape to that island?" After laughing, Garp's gaze refocused on the pirate group he was chasing, muttering to himself.
"Hmm, whatever, let this old man put an end to your evil deeds! Hey, you guys! The enemy is escaping! Hurry, chase them to that island!"
"Yes sir!"
***
A few hours later, Zavia leapt out from a clump of tall trees, his Yamato sword constantly slashing forward.
Clang! Clang!
Two blue sword lights instantly shot out, the sword lights streaking through the air, trailing blue glows.
Crack—! Puchi!
Wherever the sword lights passed, trees were completely sliced apart, making cracking sounds as they fell, followed by the sound of something being severed.
"Groooaaaaahhhhh!"
"Tsk, I didn't expect there would be such things here."
Zavia landed on the ground from midair, his expression very solemn, with a wound on his left arm.
Rustle Rustle —
His gaze was fixed ahead at the tall grass, soon, a 3-meter tall white gorilla emerged from within.
This gorilla had an overall silver-white color, with red stripes distributed from its neck to the top of its head, the higher up the deeper the color.
Its powerful abdominal muscles showed that its defense was formidable, the muscles on its arms and legs showed that its brute strength and explosive power were not to be underestimated.
But that was its original state, at this moment this giant gorilla's entire left arm had disappeared, seemingly injured by some sharp weapon, blood kept flowing from the wound.
Its face was extremely ferocious, the mouth revealing upper and lower pairs of fangs, as if a demon from hell.
"Groooaaaaahhhhh!!!"
When this giant gorilla saw Zavia, it pounded its chest with its remaining right hand and let out a sky-shaking roar.
"Tsk, although I don't know what species of the One Piece world this is, to be able to injure me with the demon physique, it is quite strong indeed."
Zavia gripped the Yamato sword tightly in his right hand, his blue pupils increasingly icy cold.
"Groooaaaaahhhhh!!"
With a boom, the giant gorilla roared and smashed its fist into the ground. Then it swung its silver-white fist, larger than a sandbag, straight at Zavia.
Zavia's eyes condensed, he rolled out of the way at an extremely fast speed to dodge the incoming fist, then in a flash he turned around, flicking his sword, and the gorilla's half an arm flew up, splashing large amounts of blood.
"Groooooo--!!"
"Hmph, so what if you're strong? In the end you're just a beast, still arrogantly trying to defeat humans? Moreover, I'm not even human, I'm a demon!"
After slicing off half the giant gorilla's arm, Zavia took advantage of the short time it was in pain and screaming. His feet exerted force and then exploded! In just an instant, 0.12 seconds, Zavia appeared in front of the giant gorilla, the silver-white blade flashed across its neck.
Just like cutting tofu, the Yamato easily sliced into the flesh on the gorilla's neck.
The sword went in white and came out red, a very fitting description for the Yamato's current state.
After slicing its neck, due to the gravitational potential energy, Zavia landed on the ground, stirring up clouds of dust. He swung the Yamato in his hand, then sheathed it.
Bang—!
The giant gorilla's body first paused for a second, then a circle of blood appeared around its neck, its knees buckled, falling to the ground, decapitated.
Zavia looked back at the giant gorilla, then lightly exhaled. His blue pupils reverted to their original dead fish state.
He looked at the wound on his left arm, then stopped bothering with it. This small injury could quickly heal thanks to his demon physique.
Regarding why Zavia encountered this gorilla and got injured, the reason was that just now, he had been observing if there was anything on this island that could identify where it was.
After all, this might become his base, so he had to find a place that looked fitting for a king to live.
Then he arrived in front of a cave, and saw territorial markings around it, so he became curious and wanted to see what kind of animal it was. The moment he set foot in that territory, a silver-white fist came attacking him.
Since Zavia was unguarded, he was a bit caught off guard by this punch, and could only raise his left arm to block it, which led to his arm getting injured.
