003: Here's How to Use the Flutter Fruit
"When we get used to this ability, we can immediately take down the pirates!"
The previous state of the two was not completed, so they let the remaining pirates go.
As for Kazan's plan, Shiki was clearly skeptical: "Do you really want to rob pirates?"
However, there was a spark of excitement in his eyes.
"Alright! There they are!"
Kazan picked up the sword that a pirate had dropped, selected two good ones, and tossed them to Shiki.
"We didn't have the chance to fight back before, so we could only survive like rats, but now the situation is different. Haven't you always wanted to learn swordsmanship? We can use their money to find you a dojo where you can learn swordsmanship after robbing the pirates, but these funds are still not enough..."
After counting the stolen gold and silver, Kazan estimated that it amounted to only tens of thousands of berries.
This small amount was insufficient to ensure the brothers' long-term survival.
And the reason Kazan wanted Shiki to go to a dojo to learn swordsmanship, instead of teaching him himself, was that his own swordsmanship was systematic and might not necessarily suit Shiki.
In the future, a master swordsman, who will awe the storm, should emerge from a kenjutsu style that belongs only to him.
A two-handed sword, just thinking about it was somewhat inspiring...
Shiki tried it, and indeed, he easily lifted the sword.
Perhaps this ability also gave him confidence, and he gritted his teeth: "Brother! I'm ready!"
"We'll act tonight. For now, we need to eat well"
The brothers soon gathered some dry provisions from the ground and ate them with pleasure.
They hadn't eaten such clean food in a long time.
Money for survival.
A stable environment.
These were now the brothers' main needs.
...
After half a day, both had relatively adapted to the ability of the Float Fruit.
When Kazan embraced the idea of becoming a fluttering person, he mastered the rule that he could easily manipulate broken wood weighing several tons in the air, but he couldn't uproot a tangled living tree.
Gradually, Kazan understood.
The floating abilities require that, in order to lift a tree or even an island, one must first possess colossal strength to uproot them.
Only by making the target rootless can one freely manipulate it.
To flutter with what has no roots.
That is the initial capability of the float Fruit.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Kazan's mind.
...
Night soon fell.
The two small figures finally took action.
Without much effort, they flew from the forest in the center of the island to the place where the pirate ship was docked at the port.
As they approached, Kazan did not expect to find a naval ship actually moored next to this pirate ship.
It was unimaginable that the naval ships of two opponents were separated by just a few civilian vessels!
The scene was very ironic.
As they descended, Kazan's eyes sharpened, and he reached out to feel the direction of the sea breeze.
— Shiki, go find the anchor under the pirate ship and cut the rope directly!
— Hmm.
Shiki dove down and started circling around the pirate ship, searching for the anchor spot.
Kazan silently landed on the deck.
Click!
It was late at night.
Several pirates, drunk, lay sprawled on the deck, talking about their dreams without the slightest sense of vigilance.
The rest of the pirates were inside the cabin, with flickering firelight reflecting on the boards, and every so often, wild laughter and the sound of breaking bottles could be heard.
After Kazan left a floating mark on the deck, he immediately hoisted the sails.
Adjusting the orientation, Kazan used his ability to float and slowly lifted the entire pirate ship.
A hull without roots, requiring no physical strength.
Simply put, moving such a massive object required the power of the wind.
Creak!
With a gentle creak, the entire pirate ship slowly rose from the sea.
In the blink of an eye, it climbed to a height of 100 meters.
Moreover, with the sails raised, the whole ship in no time left the water and drifted towards the landing site.
If anyone looked up, they would see the pirate ship at this moment, like a dark phantom traveling through the night.
Then.
A pirate, wrapped in a turban and holding a bottle of wine, staggered out of the cabin.
Shhhh.
Shhh.
The pirate squinted slightly, started whistling, walked to the railing of the deck, and lowered his pants, dropping them overboard.
Perhaps men have a subconscious sense guiding their actions.
The pirate also used the moonlight to track where he aimed.
"Ah, the pleasure! The proudest moment in life is peeing into the sea!"
Shhh.
But when he noticed that the sea below was no longer its surface but merely shadows of black and gray trees, the pirate's mind instantly cleared.
"Bloody hell! What the hell? Why is our ship on the ground?"
"This!" Realizing something was wrong, the pirate turned and shouted towards the cabin, "Everyone come out and look! What the hell is happening here at night!!"
And soon he was blocked by a phantom silhouette.
Kazan descended, head down and feet up.
Making a farewell gesture to the pirate in the bandana, he said, "You, get out!"
Boom!
With just one gesture, the entire ship instantly lost its lift.
Extremely quickly, it began plummeting downward.
— Ah!!!
With the sharp descent of the ship, the pirates fell to the deck in fear.
In just a few seconds.
A dull thud was heard as it hit the ground, and a huge cloud of dust rose into the night.
Bang!
The pirate group's ship was completely shattered to pieces.
Shiki flew over and, upon seeing Kazan's actions, was both amazed and somewhat lost.
Is it really so easy to kill people?
A member of the pirate group was wiped out in an instant!
This is how the Flutter Fruit is used!
...
The previous night, the light was too dim, and the incident took place in a dense forest, inaccessible to people.
Therefore, the brothers found a random tree and fell asleep.
The next day.
At sea level, it just barely touched the belly of the fish.
The brothers divided the work and labored together.
Hey!
With the sound effect of the Flutter Fruit, pieces of wooden planks, the keel, and debris from the hull began to float next to them.
— Brother! Look! It's a big piece of gold!
— And what about it?!
— Brother, we are rich now! What a treasure!
Shiki swore he had never seen so much money.
It took the brothers half an hour to finally count the loot.
On this occasion.
They acquired at least 4 million Beli in treasure!
If they don't waste it, it will be enough for the two of them to survive for several years.
Kazan found a good suitcase and packed the treasure in it.
With the power of the Flutter Fruit, lifting heavy things became as easy as lifting air.
...
A few days later.
The brothers boarded a merchant ship and headed to their next destination.
At this time.
Kazan learned about a small town called Tors, which has a stable fencing dojo, and the sword master there is the best in the surrounding seas, making it most suitable for Shiki, who lacks a foundation.
There, he plans to spend a few years teaching Shiki the basics of fencing.
Nyuksis is their birthplace.
In fact, if you count, there is a naval base in the town.
But since he can't pay the heavenly tribute, as soon as they stop killing under its nose, the naval forces indulge pirates who burn and loot on the island.
The scene they witnessed yesterday is proof of that.
The navy and pirates are succeeding together, making Nyuksis the most dangerous island in the area.
Kazan has already planned it.
When the brothers grow up, they'll return and make the 123rd Marine Corps of Nyuksis pay!
