A flock of seagulls flapped their wings and glided across the sky, leaving graceful and beautiful arcs over the azure sea.
Not far away, on a two - masted sailing ship, the black Jolly Roger fluttered in the wind.
On the deck, more than twenty pirates armed with swords and guns were howling.
At the front of the crowd, a bald, burly man standing two and a half meters tall raised his right hand and shouted to his subordinates in front of him:
"Guys! See that commercial tourist sailing ship up ahead?
In a moment, we'll sail up to it and rob them of their money, food, and women!"
"Argh!"
"Argh!"
"Argh!"
The over twenty pirates had fierce looks in their eyes and excited smiles on their faces.
The bald burly man in front of them was their captain, the crazy Chris, with a bounty of 84 million berries.
Their captain was a Devil Fruit user who had eaten the Gummy - Gummy Devil Fruit. He could ignore any damage caused by bullets and swords. Even if someone attacked him with a fist, they would get stuck inside his body and couldn't break free.
Thanks to this Devil Fruit ability, Captain Chris always charged forward. After breaking through the enemy's offensive, they could swarm forward and quickly defeat their opponents!
"Fire the Cannons! Block that ship's way, and then we'll approach while taking advantage of the situation!"
"Yes, Captain!"
After receiving the order, the gunners immediately opened fire on the three - masted sailing ship in the distance.
If the other side refused to change course, the solid cannonballs they fired would damage the hull or even cause the ship to take in water and gradually sink. Once that happened, they could sail over and start a boarding fight!
However...
Just as everyone was in high spirits, a figure soared into the sky from the distant three - masted sailing ship and rushed towards them.
"Captain! T... there's someone flying over from the sky!"
After clearly seeing Sephiroth with wings growing on his back, the lookout on the mast immediately shouted.
"What are you panicking about! That guy must be a Devil Fruit user too. Let me show you how to deal with him!"
As he spoke, Chris' right hand suddenly stretched and transformed into a green long - blade.
"Right! Right! The captain will definitely take that guy down!"
"Our captain is invincible!"
While the group of pirates were still praising Chris, Sephiroth had already flown near the pirate ship.
With his sharp eyes, he naturally saw the green long - blade in the bald man's right hand, so he immediately judged that the other was a Devil Fruit user.
So, with the idea of giving it a try, he reached into the inside of his suit with his left hand, took out a revolver, and wrapped Armament Haki around the bullet.
When Chris saw the silver - haired boy take out the revolver, a look of contempt flashed across his face.
He just stood there, motionless, and used his Gummy - Gummy Devil Fruit ability to turn his body into gummy.
He was going to take this bullet head - on and show off his invincible heroic appearance in front of his subordinates...
Bang!
With a gunshot, Chris's head exploded instantly like a watermelon. The red and white stuff splashed all over the face of the pirate standing in front of him.
Plop!
After the headless corpse fell heavily on the deck, a group of stunned pirates finally reacted to what had just happened...
Their invincible captain was actually dead...!?
Is that all? What a joke! ...Sephiroth couldn't help but silently complain in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, the silver-haired teenager landed firmly on the ship's edge. He slowly retracted the black wings on his back and said in a flippant tone:
"Yo! You dirty pirates... Have you had lunch?"
Among the crowd, several pirates subconsciously shook their heads.
"Oh, well! Then you'll have to hit the road on an empty stomach~!"
As the silver-haired teenager finished speaking, he drew out the Butcher's Knife from his waist. His figure was like a speeding arrow, turning into a blurry afterimage in the crowd and stirring up a gust of wind.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
...
The bloody blade light flashed repeatedly. Before the pirates could react, Sephiroth's figure appeared behind them.
One-Sword Style · Continuous Slash!
The silver-haired teenager's voice was cold, like the whisper of death.
At this moment, he was actually slowly sheathing the Butcher's Knife in his hand...!?
"What's going on?"
"He's suddenly behind us!"
...
A group of pirates were shocked and couldn't understand what had just happened.
Plop!
...
Plop!
Among the pirates, those who tried to turn around and fight suddenly fell to the deck one by one. Their bodies were cut in half, and blood kept gushing out from the wounds.
Only then did they feel a sharp pain in their bodies. They were all horrified to find that they had been slashed!
What shocked them even more was that the skin on their bodies quickly wrinkled and withered, as if their vitality had been sucked away by something...
Sephiroth ignored the wails and screams of the pirates behind him. Instead, he calmly walked into the cabin. He then finished off the lucky survivors in the lower cabins one by one and, at the same time, searched for the room where the treasure was stored on the two-masted sailing ship.
Before long, the silver-haired teenager found the captain's cabin. With a single slash, he split open the door lock, kicked open the door, and walked in.
At first glance, he saw a large wooden box placed blatantly in a small, enclosed room sealed by iron bars inside the captain's cabin.
Sephiroth drew out the Butcher's Knife from his waist, wrapped it with Armament Haki, and casually swung three times, cutting out a triangular entrance in the iron bars.
He stepped inside the iron bars and swung his sword again, cutting off the huge iron lock on the wooden box.
Click!
The silver-haired teenager gently lifted the lid of the wooden box with the back of his sword and found that besides two stacks of ten-thousand-yuan banknotes, there was also a fruit that was completely blue and covered with heart-shaped spiral patterns!
What is this...?
Although this Devil Fruit was not recorded in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, Sephiroth recognized it... the Love - Love Fruit!
He didn't know what effects this Devil Fruit would have if eaten by others.
But...
He knew that if Boa Hancock ate the Love - Love Fruit, it would definitely become a strategic weapon!
Yeah! ... Against those lecherous guys, regardless of gender, it could basically achieve a one - hit kill!
Sephiroth himself was no exception...
After finding a cloth bag and putting the Devil Fruit in it, the silver - haired young man left the captain's cabin. He came to the deck, spread his black wings, and flapped them as he chased after the commercial tourist sailing ship that was almost disappearing on the sea horizon.
When he returned to the three - masted sailing ship, the captain of the commercial tourist sailing ship, a middle - aged man in a purple suit with a mustache, quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to him.
"Thank you, young man. You really helped us solve a big problem!"
"No problem. It's a piece of cake!"
After exchanging a few polite words with the captain, Sephiroth went back to the dining room and leisurely enjoyed his lunch.
Mmm! The steak is really delicious, and the sake is also very good! ... The silver - haired young man silently praised in his heart.
