NOVEL NEXT Chapter 001
1503 of the Yuan Calendar, the first half of the Great Passage.
On the blue sea, there is a small island of more than ten square kilometers.
The damp sea breeze, blowing from the surface of the sea, swept into the dense woods, bringing with it the rustling of leaves.
Seagulls land on the beach and flutter their wings, making crisp and pleasant calls.
A silver-haired boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a blue suit, looking a little immature, but very handsome, his eyes were closed, he fell on his back on the beach, and let the tide constantly lap his body.
In the sky, the light emitted by the sun becomes hotter and hotter, causing the sand to gradually heat up.
The silver-haired young man groaned, holding his forehead with one hand and supporting his upper body with the other, making himself slowly stand up.
“Where is this…? Ocean……!?
Shouldn’t I still be rescuing patients in the earthquake-stricken areas inland…!? The
boy opened his sapphire eyes and looked around blankly, and he couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw his slightly thin white hands.
This is definitely not a hand that a twenty-six-year-old man should have….
This is not his original body!
When he tried to recall what had happened to him, a strange memory quickly emerged….
In the storm of lightning and thunder, a pirate ship flying a black skull flag launched an attack on the large tourist sailing ship where the teenager was.
Hundreds of armed and smiling pirates rushed onto the deck of the sailboat, led by a fat man six meters tall with golden braids.
They wantonly vent their twisted desires, kill, plunder … Women’s cries and screams, men’s screams and wails.
On the sailboat full of panic and panic, the father of the silver-haired boy, in order to create an opportunity for his son to escape, he killed a pirate at the cost of several knives in his body and snatched a lifebuoy for the silver-haired boy.
The moment he put a lifebuoy on the silver-haired boy, the boy’s father was stabbed through the chest with a knife from behind by a pirate.
That father, with his last strength, threw the weeping boy into the rough sea….
“Carl S. D. Sephiroth…”
the silver-haired young man murmured, uttering the name of the thin body.
Inexplicably… Tears flowed from his eyes.
With another adult memory, he obviously didn’t feel much sadness in his heart, but he couldn’t stop the tears.
If there is, it is also sympathy for the original body.
This may be an instinctive reaction of the body…?
After a while, the inexplicable emotions from the body gradually disappeared.
“That’s it! Since I have occupied your body, then I will use your identity to live!”
Your revenge, I will definitely help you avenge….
It’s just, the world… Gore S. D. Roger… One Piece…? After
Sephiroth roughly combed through all the memories of this body, a wry smile could not help but appear on the corners of his mouth.
It is now 1503, the fifth year of the official beginning of the Age of Exploration after Roger’s execution.
In the future, the world will become more and more chaotic, and people without strong strength may not even be able to protect themselves, just like the boy and his father….
“The pirate flag that attacked the tourist sailing ship, how can I think it is a little familiar….
On the black flag, there is a figure eight behind the horned skull…”
The strong hunger coming from the abdomen and the weak limbs made Sephiroth stop thinking further.
His immediate priority now is to find something to eat to fill his stomach and restore his strength.
Sephiroth took out the silver pocket watch in his pocket, looked at the time, and learned that it was past ten o’clock in the morning.
Immediately afterward, he stood on the beach and looked around, and finally decided to try his luck in the woods of the island and find something to eat.
Although there are seagulls on the beach, his body is so weak now, he even has the strength to walk, picking up stones to smash seagull meat or something, he is really weak, and he doesn’t want to waste his efforts on this.
As for going fishing in the sea …?
I am ashamed to say that in his previous life, he was a dry duck, and he did not have the confidence to drag this weak and tired body and catch fish in shallow water….
Sephiroth’s slightly emaciated body weaved through the humid dense forest.
Although he wears small leather shoes on his feet, he still pays great attention to the place under his feet when walking.
After all, if a spike or a pothole suddenly appeared, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
He didn’t know how long he had been walking in the woods, but he finally saw a small fruit tree with a few green wild fruits growing on it.
Sephiroth ran excitedly, trying to pick the wild fruits to feed his hunger.
Suddenly!
When he ran under the fruit tree, his gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of the grass next to him, and dropped a purple-red skin with a round fruit with spiral patterns on it.
The secret treasure of the sea – Devil Fruit!
Seeing this scene, Sephiroth’s breathing instantly became rapid.
He walked a few steps quickly and held the purple-red fruit in his hand.
If his memory is correct, the full name of the fruit should be…
Animal line, phantom beast species, bat fruit, vampire form!
As long as they eat this devil fruit, the user can give himself eternal life and youth by sucking blood.
It’s just that…… Why is this fruit here?
Shouldn’t it be hidden in the ancient ruins of Sleeping Ancient Town?
Sephiroth, who was on a desert island and had no power to protect himself, no longer wanted to continue to think deeply about the reason, he directly brought the vampire fruit to his mouth, took a big bite of the peel, and swallowed it into his stomach.
He didn’t dare to chew it slowly, nor did he dare to think about what this fruit tasted like…
Previously, he had heard a not very reliable statement that although the Devil Fruit could gain abilities by eating a bite, eating the entire part could increase the initial degree of fruit development.
Sephiroth didn’t know if this statement was true, but in order to be able to improve his strength as soon as possible, he forced himself to stuff the entire fruit into his stomach except for the handle.
Eventually….
The silver-haired boy really couldn’t help the feeling of explosion on his taste buds, his hands supported on the ground and vomited madly, and his stomach convulsed violently.
“Gag~! The
extremely unpalatable taste of the Devil Fruit made him never want to try it a second time in his life.
He even felt that those dark dishes in his previous life were nothing compared to the taste of the devil fruit.
After retching for a while, but not spitting out anything, Sephiroth’s already extremely weak body could no longer hold on.
Poof!
The silver-haired boy’s slightly thin body suddenly fell on the grass, and he actually passed out again…
I don’t know how long it has been….
Three men appeared in the woods, carrying barrels full of fresh water, and they ran over after seeing the silver-haired boy collapse on the grass.
“Huh!? There’s a boy, but this is obviously an uninhabited island…” ”
Why did he fall to the ground?”
“Looking at his physical symptoms, except for a little weakening, it seems that there is no disease.”
“His appearance is really good-looking, he is a good goods, and if he sells it to those high-class nobles, he will get a good price.”
“Okay, then we’ll take him on board first.”
The three of you said a word, and quickly decided on the identity of the silver-haired young man’s cargo, and did not ask his own opinion at all….
