Codex Pirates

Chapter 71 The Origin of the Fruit

Because William, as a new navigator, was not familiar with the treasure location, the red beard pirates could only rely on Barbarossa's memory to grope for the voyage, which delayed them for several days until they landed on the island. At that time, the treasure above had already been emptied by Sherlock and others.

Facing the empty cave, a group of pirates had cold hands and feet. The treasure inside was not only Barbarossa's own, but also theirs.

These wealth are all obtained by fighting with their lives at sea for many years. Even if they live a much more comfortable life than other pirates because of collusion with the navy and Arcadio, each share of these treasures is still the same. Stained with the blood and sweat of all the crew members of the Redbeard Pirates.

Barbarossa crossed his hips, raised his head slightly, and looked at the top of the cave, wondering what he was thinking. Although the Redbeard Pirates were in panic, none of the crew members dared to disturb him. After all, what happened to the last unlucky crew member who disturbed him? Everyone else has a fresh memory.

After a long time, Frederick seemed to come back to his senses, and said calmly, "Stolt, come here."

After William, who was outside, came to him, Barbarossa said: "We are going to the calm zone!"

William was taken aback, and in order to make sure he heard correctly, he asked again: "You mean we are going to the calm zone?"

The nearby pirates who were close enough to hear Barbarossa's order were also a little commotion, but after Barbarossa's one-eyed glance, they quieted down.

It is normal for William to disagree with other pirates. In order to learn sailing knowledge, William read many books. In these books, whenever the geographical environment of the world is mentioned, the calm zone will be mentioned without exception. And all the descriptions of the windless belt in books can be summed up in four words—extremely dangerous.

This sea area is a real ocean graveyard.

The geography of this world is very strange. The red earth continent and the great sea route flatten the whole world into four sea areas in the east, south, west, and north. It plays the role of dividing the sea area, largely because of the windless belt.

William is not a scholar, neither in his previous life nor in this life, and he is not interested in delving into how the strange geography of this world is formed. He only knows that two windless belts tightly surround the great shipping route, and there is no wind in this sea area all year round. This is fatal to ships that are still in the age of sail, and the most dangerous thing is more than that. Because of its special geographical location, there are countless sea monsters living in this sea area. For the monsters of the "Neptune class", the sailing ship that is extremely large for humans may be just a delicate toy in their eyes.

So anyone who has heard the description of this place can imagine its danger.

It is conceivable that a sailing boat that has lost its power is paddling with difficulty in an endless sea area with no villages in front of it, no stores in the back, no supply points, and is full of despair sailing towards an unknown end. Under the sea, there are unknown how many giant beasts are staring at the ship.

Food, supplies, and the threat of sea kings are all factors that can easily destroy the pirate group.

The Redbeard Pirates are one of the best pirate forces in the East China Sea, but daring to enter the windless zone rashly is tantamount to suicide. William knows this, and Barbarossa should also know it.

"It's going to the windless zone." Barbarossa glanced at William and added, "We want to get the devil fruit, so we only go there."

Devil Fruit!

William's heartbeat accelerated slightly, but he showed a puzzled look on his face: "Devil fruit? Does this thing really exist? Could it be that it grows in the windless belt?"

"I don't know where this thing grows, but in the East China Sea, only the calm zone is the most likely to encounter it." Barbarossa said.

William frowned, still a little puzzled.

Barbarossa was a little annoyed. Although he only wanted to go near the calm zone, it was not much safer than in the calm zone. Even if the sea kings living on the bottom of the sea only occasionally crossed the calm zone, wandering in the surrounding sea area would be a disaster. Because of this reason, there are few people around the windless zone. Except for some savages, there are very few places where civilization gathers. The lack of supply points is not a low test for long-distance voyages.

Frederick Barbarossa knew that if he wanted to go safely to the deserted and windless belt, he needed the best assistance of the navigator, so although he was impatient, after feeling William's hesitation and confusion, he explained: "In the four seas, every time Every now and then, there are pirates fantasizing about entering the great route and becoming famous..."

Barbarossa let out a deep laugh, as if laughing at the overreaching of those pirates: "At the same time, on the great route, every moment, there are pirates who want to escape from this pirate cemetery." come out."

The treasure of One Piece Roger has attracted countless pirates to flood into the great route. Among them, there are ruthless characters who don't hit the south wall and don't look back, but there are also many people who regret soon after being impulsive.

Among other things, the headquarters of the navy is located on the great route, and most of the attention of the world government is concentrated on the great route. The naval power of the great route is stronger than the navies of the four seas combined, and the pirates are not a single-minded group. The pirates entering the great route not only have to face the encirclement and suppression of the navy, but also worry about the annihilation of other pirates.

For the pirates who are frightened by the terrifying environment of the great route, it is not an unimaginable idea to go through the windless belt and return to the "peace and stability" of the four seas, especially for a lucky one who is on the great route. This is especially true for the pirate group who have obtained valuable wealth.

For example... a pirate group who got a devil fruit by chance.

A small fruit is worth 100 million Baileys, and this is the lowest price. Few people are foolish enough to sell the fruit at this price. In the world where devil fruits are even rarer, in the eyes of most people, only The prices of Devil Fruits that have appeared in legends will be exaggerated.

"This season is the time when Sea Kings are least active. If some lucky bastards can escape the great route through the windless belt, then it must be at this time," Barbarossa grinned, "and they will definitely choose the East China Sea!"

William nodded slowly, and added: "Because the East China Sea is the sea area where the pirates are the weakest, everyone knows that there are no weak pirates who can enter the great route, even if they escape from the great route, facing The counterparts in the East China Sea, even the navy, still have overwhelming strength!"

In fact, a few years later, a pirate group composed of murlocs will come to the East China Sea with similar ideas to confirm what William said at this time.
