Chapter 14 New Features

Back to the ship.

After washing up, Gel returned to his room immediately, closed the door, took out two boxes and placed them on the table.

When I opened the box, I saw two fruits with special patterns lying quietly. The one on the left looked like a brown eggplant, and the one on the right was rounder in shape, with a cylindrical protrusion in the middle, like a pig's nose.

【Ding! 】

[Unknown devil fruit detected, automatically analyzing...]

(Analysis successful: Animal type. Bug Bug Fruit. Cockroach form)

(Analysis successful: Animal type. Pig-Pig Fruit. Wild boar form)

Anyway, the extraction and decomposition of devil fruits need to be tested.

Gel did not hesitate and prepared to experiment with the decomposition fruit first. He directly picked up the devil fruit that looked like an eggplant and thought: Decompose!

[Ding! Decomposition successful! Gained abilities (immunity to moderate poison) (tenacious life) (beast form)]

[(Moderate Toxin Immunity): Strong immunity, immune to most bacteria, fungi and viruses, reducing all toxin damage by 50%. Usage: Oral. ]

[(Tenacious Life): When health is below 50%, defense is increased and damage taken is reduced by 50%]

[(Beast Form): Transformed into a cockroach, physical fitness and various abilities improved. ]

"Damn! What the hell!"

Gel frowned and carefully picked out the pill that could transform into a beast. This was not a joke, eating the wrong one could ruin your life.

Gel looked at the devil fruit in his hand which turned into a ball of light and then gradually dissipated.

"As expected, if you choose to decompose, the devil fruit will disappear directly."

Geer suddenly had a shocking idea:

What would happen if I decomposed the Nika Fruit?

No, no! I can't work for Im and the Five Elders for free. I'll leave this problem to them.

Without thinking any further, Gel picked up another devil fruit and chose to extract the Pig-Pig Fruit. Wild Boar Form.

Gel clasped his hands together and silently prayed to the gods for blessings. It would be fine if he could only take away the ability to turn into a cockroach, but he must not give him the ability to turn into a pig's head as well.

[Ding! Extraction successful! Gained ability (Big Eater)]

"Whatever you fear will come true! Looking at this name, it seems like it would be worse than turning into a pig!"

Geer's mentality is a little broken.

[(Big Eater): Easy to get hungry, amazing appetite, super strong digestion, fast and good absorption of nutrients, and enhanced recovery to a certain extent. Usage: Oral. ]

Be content with what you have. After reading the detailed explanation, Gel felt that this ability was marginally useful, so he stopped worrying about it.

"Sure enough, if you extract it, the devil fruit is still there, but you can only extract it once, and the power you gain is less than if you decompose and extract it."

Looking out the window, he saw that it was still dark. There was one last experiment that needed to be verified, so he would have to leave it until tomorrow. Gel climbed into bed contentedly and went to sleep, giggling in his sleep.

...

Dunbu Village

"Village chief, is this pirate coming or not? It's already late at night and we've been standing here all night."

"Yes, yes, Village Chief, will they want to wait until tomorrow morning to go ashore? How about we take a rest?"

Seeing that everyone had gradually relaxed, the village chief shouted anxiously:

"Shut up! Stay alert! The enemy is stalling for time, waiting for us to get tired and let down our guard before attacking us. We have to hold on. Stay alert! Don't let your guard down!"

Seeing that the surrounding villagers were still listless, the village chief turned around and ordered:

"Ergou, go to the back and ask the women in the village to boil some hot water and steam some cakes for everyone to fill their stomachs. We still have to confront the pirates to the end tonight!"

The village chief pretended to be calm on the surface, but he was also anxious on the inside.

This is a difficult situation. I didn't expect that this group of pirates is not only cunning and cruel, but also has some knowledge of military tactics!

The villagers could hold out no longer until the second half of the night. Their eyelids, which weighed a thousand pounds, could not be lifted no matter how hard they tried, and they all fell asleep.

Fortunately, that night, Dunbu Village was peaceful and nothing happened. However, a major incident occurred at the naval base on the other side:

Captain Miledy was killed in the house where he lived, along with two bodies that looked like pirates, and Baileys and treasures scattered all over the room.

The murderer was the mad dog Jimmy, whose bounty was 2500 million Baileys. After killing Miledy, he was injured and escaped, but was shot dead by Private Kuler.

Kuler brought the pirate Jimmy's body and a large bag of treasure back to the naval base.

Later, evidence of Jimmy's collusion with Miledy was found in his clothes, and a large amount of money of unknown origin and letters with pirates were found in Miledy's residence.

The senior naval officer immediately ordered the news to be blocked and publicly announced that Captain Miledy was ambushed by several pirates, fought to the death and was finally killed heroically.

However, many rumors have spread privately: Captain Miledy colluded with pirates to plunder the villages under his jurisdiction, and was killed by the pirates due to uneven distribution of the spoils.

Some people who heard the news were confused while others applauded. However, this high-ranking figure had nothing to do with ordinary people like them, so they had to continue living their lives as usual.

Private First Class Kule made great contribution by killing the pirate and his reputation in the naval base soared. He then handed over the seized treasures and huge property of Miledy of unknown origin to his superior naval officers for handling. Finally, Kule was promoted to naval warrant officer and temporarily served as the base commander of the temporary naval base on Buling Island. Of course, this is all a story for later.

...

In order to comply with the plan previously made by Gel, the ship chose to dock one day later.

Uncle Fitt did not tell the girls the details of the situation. He just explained to them that due to special circumstances they needed to stay on the boat for one more night. The girls were also very sensible and did not ask any further questions. After dinner they quietly returned to the cabin to rest. However, they missed their hometown and relatives in their hearts, and they all suffered from insomnia all night.

After tossing and turning, they finally waited until dawn. Several girls came to the deck early in the morning to wait for the departure. They couldn't wait to go home and meet their families, but no one dared to wake Captain Geller up, so they could only gather together and worry.

The two sea beasts were also dispersed by Gel and were allowed to move freely to look for food. However, even if A Da and A Er were here, they would not listen to other people's orders to pull the boat.

They may play or joke around, but they dare not joke with their own lives.

Currently, the only ones who can command them are Gur and Weibull.

While eating the breakfast that Uncle Fate had carefully prepared early in the morning, they unanimously elected Bia, who was currently the most popular person on the ship, to go and see if Captain Gir had gotten up.

The clever girl did not wake up Geer directly after taking charge of the whole thing. She ran to the kitchen to get a breakfast, brought it to the door of the captain's room, knocked gently and asked:

"Captain, Captain, it's time for breakfast. Should we bring it in or leave it at the door?"

Ger opened the door and took the breakfast. Looking at the cute little girl, he couldn't help but rub her soft blue hair to thank her.

In fact, in terms of physical age, Geer may still call Bi Ya sister, but he has a soul in his twenties inside his body, so Geer has always treated Bi Ya as a younger sister.

When he came to the deck with breakfast and saw several girls looking at him with expectant eyes, Gel suddenly understood what was going on.

"Beep!"

A long and pleasant whistle passed over the misty sea, and soon two dog barks were heard back.

"Wang! Wang!"

After having enough food, drink and fun, A Da and A Er quickly got ready and the boat was pulled back towards Dunbu Village.

Gel ignored the cheers and excitement of the girls next to him. He sat aside with a fishing rod and started fishing. He got up early in the morning because he had an important experiment to test.

Weeble was also awakened by the smell of breakfast. He took a huge wooden barrel filled with food, carried it to Ger's side, sat down on the deck, and began to eat.

"Brother, if you want to eat fish, I can go down and help you catch it. I see you haven't caught a single fish after fishing for a long time."

Weibull said these infuriating words seriously, and Geer muttered in his heart: Don't I have any dignity? I learned the skill of fishing in my previous life!

Finally, he felt the wonderful vibration of a fish being hooked on the fishing rod. Gel quickly pulled it up and was surprised to catch a sea fish the size of a palm.

"Haha, see, little brother, I'm really good at fishing!"

Ger's face was filled with pride.

Several girls came to watch Captain Gill fishing, and they all clapped their hands to show their respect. Only Weibull, an honest man, asked:

"Brother, such a small fish is not enough to fill the gap between our teeth. How about letting it go? I can catch it back when it grows bigger?"

Gel didn't care about Weeble's sincere words which sounded like sarcasm, and couldn't wait to ask Weeble to fetch a bucket of sea water from the big wooden barrel he used after eating.

Gel then took out the ball that could transform into the cockroach beast and forced it into the fish's mouth. He then threw it into the barrel and squatted aside to observe carefully.

"Haha, great."

Seeing the fish swimming leisurely in the sea, Gel smiled happily.

The onlookers were all confused and didn't know why the wise and brave Captain Gill kept grinning at a sea fish.

After observing the fish, Gel released it, thinking that it was a real sea cockroach.

Looking at the four balls in his hand: (Bulldog's Will) (Medium Poison Immunity) (Tenacious Life) (Big Eater) Gel was wondering whether he should eat one to become poison immune. This skill is still very good, but when he thought of his silly brother, Weevil, if the enemy added poison to the delicious food, Gel estimated that Weevil would be 100% caught.

We can do without tanks and cannons, but we must first develop nuclear weapons to deter the villains and have a chance to buy time for slow development.

Gel decided to make Weevil the strongest in the world first.

"Weeble, open your mouth and give you candy!"

Weibull opened his mouth obediently, and Gel threw all four balls in, asking expectantly:

"How's it going? Do you feel anything?"

Weibull thought about it carefully and said naively:

"I'm sorry, brother. I ate too fast just now and didn't taste it. How about you give me a few more and I'll eat slower this time."

"You thought this was just ordinary candy? Why don't you give me a few more? And I'm not asking you how it tastes, I'm asking if you feel any changes in your body?"

Ger was helpless.

Weibull squinted his eyes and felt it carefully for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said:

"I feel it! Brother, I feel a little hungry again. No! I have to go to the kitchen to find uncle to get me something to eat."

Gel had given up struggling and waved his hand to signal him to go away, otherwise he would lose control and hit him.
