Chapter 7 The best helmsman of this century!
Let the ship elf eat the storm fruit that can control the storm!
This was a sudden idea that flashed in Kyle's mind when he saw Tiga carrying the shells.
As a ship spirit, Tiga has the ability to control the direction of the ship...
If combined with the ability to create a storm, he could create wind out of thin air and propel the ship...
Then his pirate ship will definitely become the fastest and most flexible sailing ship in the world!!!
However, this was just a sudden idea after all. Before implementing it, Kyle still had to confirm some issues.
With a thought in mind, he gave little Tiga a kind smile.
"Little Tiga, do you know anything about devil fruits?"
"Devil Fruit?"
Little Tiga tilted his head, revealing a cute expression.
"I know~"
"Devil Fruit is a secret treasure in the sea. If you eat it, you can gain mysterious power!"
"But at the same time, as a user of special abilities, the sea also hates you!"
"I also know that there is such a devil fruit in the captain's room~"
The ship elf, who had the mind of a child, answered the captain's questions very seriously.
The face beneath the hood showed an innocent smile that was enough to make the carnivorous girl unable to stop.
When Kyle heard Tiga's answer, his face instantly showed joy and he quickly praised him.
"Yes, that's right! As expected of my ship spirit, it's so smart~!"
As expected, creatures like ship elves possess the ability to know everything naturally.
Although I don’t know whether this is the memory inheritance of the ship elves, or the knowledge passed down from the past based on the memories of the crew members...
But with these basic knowledge, Tiga will undoubtedly save Kyle a lot of trouble when he asks questions next.
After giving a few compliments, he immediately asked the question that concerned him most.
"So if Little Tiga ate the devil fruit and the Tiga came into contact with seawater..."
"As a ship spirit, will you become weak and unable to use your power?"
Letting the ship elf eat the devil fruit is undoubtedly a bolder idea than shooting it in one shot.
But if you eat the devil fruit, the pirate ship will become weak as soon as it touches the sea water, and that would be really fun!
Fortunately.
After hesitating for a moment, Little Tiga thought carefully and gave an answer that surprised Kyle.
"Um... no, Captain Kyle."
"Although I am the incarnation of the Tiga, the connection between the ship spirit and the ship is a power similar to soul and spirit, rather than a biological nature."
"So the devil fruit won't affect both the ship spirit and the ship at the same time."
Little Tiga put on a serious face like Conan and answered Kyle's questions.
After getting this answer, Kyle immediately smiled.
"That would be great!"
"Follow me, little Tiga!"
He clenched his fist and pounded his palm, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
After learning that the system can make him stronger and give him special abilities, Kyle will certainly not choose a devil fruit with obvious weaknesses.
Therefore, this valuable storm fruit has only two destinations.
One is to be sold to an auction house in exchange for a large amount of Bailey;
The other option is to stay and wait for a suitable crew member to use him.
And now, the appearance of the ship elf Tiga completely fits the second situation!
If we don't use this Storm Fruit now, when will we use it?!
Seeing that Kyle had already walked into the captain's room, Little Tiga, in his spirit state, suddenly became ethereal and followed him to the railing in front of the captain's room.
Before he could step into the captain's room, Kyle, holding the Storm Fruit, had already returned to him.
"Try and see if you can eat it?"
A green spiral fruit was handed to little Tiga.
“Huh!?”
"Captain Kyle, are you trying to give me the Devil Fruit?"
Little Tiga cried out in surprise, and his tone became noticeably happier.
However, he obviously could not understand the real value of the devil fruit. He simply thought it was a gift from Kyle, which made him happy.
And since the captain's mission is to let him eat the devil fruit, he will of course complete it seriously.
The virtual little Tiga suddenly jumped off the railing.
At this moment, Kyle clearly heard the sound of something landing.
He instantly understood that Little Tiga had entered into a physical state.
Seeing him take the Storm Fruit from his hand and take a bite without hesitation, Kyle felt inexplicably nervous.
After all, there is no precedent in the pirate world of a ship elf eating a devil fruit, and he doesn't know whether his idea can be successfully realized.
After choking a sob, seeing that the boat elf had no expression and was still eating the remaining fruit pulp, Kyle immediately asked curiously:
"what about the taste?"
"Ok?"
Little Tiga raised his head, still chewing, and said incoherently:
"I'm sorry, Captain Kyle, I don't have a normal taste system, so I can't answer your question."
"Oh, that's fine. That's fine, too."
Although I feel that it is a bit pitiful that the ship elf cannot taste delicious food, at least he did not answer "It's like eating shit", which is a blessing.
After a while, little Tiga finally swallowed the green spiral fruit, which was one-fifth of his height.
Before Kyle could ask again, a breeze suddenly surged around little Tiga.
He waved his arms playfully.
All of a sudden!
The storm surged and turned into a horizontal tornado, smashing towards the sea next to the ship!
The next moment, a swirling column of water suddenly rose up, like a giant python poking its head out from the sea, roaring at the distant sea, and finally slowly dissipated in the distant sea.
"Success!!?"
Seeing that Little Tiga actually used the power of the Storm Fruit, Kyle's expression immediately relaxed and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then, he took out a compass and a nautical chart covering the East China Sea area from the package again.
After confirming the direction of the port on Yaxi Island, Kyle immediately pointed to a direction and said with a smile:
"Come on, little Tiga, let's test your newfound power!"
"From now on, use your fruit ability and move towards that direction at full speed!"
"No problem, Captain!!!"
After receiving the order again, little Tiga raised the corner of his mouth.
He did not make any movement, but the ship began to turn silently.
Little Tiga's figure flashed and he went directly from the captain's room to the watchtower and stood steadily on the railing.
next second.
The sea, which was originally calm, suddenly began to surge with layers of waves.
The calm sail also became swollen at this moment.
The wind was surging, but it was magically separated into two parts, upper and lower.
Blowing the sails, it pushes the waves.
But on the deck of the ship, there was not a trace of wind pressure.
Obviously, the storm around the ship was under Tiga's control!
Kyle's dark eyes flickered.
If the ships' previous speed was like that of a bicycle, then their current speed is at least like that of an electric motorcycle!
The speed has been increased by more than three times!
This has obviously exceeded the normal speed of an ordinary sailboat!
And this is because the ship elf has just eaten the fruit.
The ship elf created by the system, just like Kyle himself, has unlimited potential!
When the level of Tiga is upgraded and the number of crew members increases, the strength of the ship elf will definitely increase.
By that time, maybe the Tiga will even be able to become a ship that operates in the sky!
Moreover, since Tiga possesses the passive ability of virtualization, he is not afraid of sea water, seastone or other things that can restrain people with special abilities.
The more Kyle thought about it, the more he felt that his decision was perfect!
"As expected of me, I have so many clever ideas!"
He silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart!
Kyle believes...
There is no better way to use this Storm Fruit!!!
Chapter 8 All Positive Energy
Rogue Town.
This is an island town located near the entrance to the East China Sea Grand Route.
Because the legendary Pirate King Gol D. Roger was born here and died here...
That’s why people call this place “the town of beginning and end”.
This is the dreamland that countless pirates long for!
At this time, in the busy port, ships of various shapes are anchored here, like colorful dumplings waiting to be put into the pot.
Looking down from a high place, it looks like the sailors are coming and going like ants, carrying all kinds of goods.
As the waves surged up and down, an inconspicuous medium-sized sailboat slowly docked at the port.
……
……
"Wuhu~"
"It's finally here!"
Standing at the bow, Kyle stretched his body into a "big" shape and stretched his stiff muscles.
Although the speed of the Tiga has surpassed that of ordinary ships and warships, it still took them three full days to reach their destination, Rogue Town, from the coast near Yaxi Island.
The boring journey really made Kyle feel depressed.
Now that he finally saw the land, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Tiga, the task of guarding the ship is now left to you!"
