Age of Pirates

Douglas did not open the box, but waited for Uncle Cole's story.

The old man didn't hesitate, and in a slightly resentful and sad tone, he told the story about him and the box.

That year, it was also winter. As a famous young hunter on the small island of Lotus Leaf Island, Cole was in his prime.

Relying on the hunting skills he had learned through experience, Cole lived a prosperous life on the island. The prosperous life did not bring him a comfortable feeling, but instead made the thoughts in his heart start to stir.

What can make me yearn for the sea outside?

Pirate, this is the best choice. At that time, Roger had not become the Pirate King. There were pirates competing on the sea, and there were countless strong men in the navy.

Cole also hopes that one day, his name will be famous all over the world.

Just as he was planning to go to sea, disaster struck. An unknown man who was being hunted by pirates came to the island, and the pirates who followed him also entered the island.

Fighting and resisting, Cole, as a well-known strongman on the island, chose to fight immediately.

The result of his confused fighting was that he lost one hand and one foot.

The unknown man died. The pirates searched the island for three days and finally left cursing.

Cole didn't know what the pirate was looking for at the time, until he regained his strength and an accident allowed him to find the box.

The mark engraved on this box was too familiar to him, because the unknown man who was being hunted also had the same mark engraved on his face.

Out of curiosity, Cole found a way to open the box, but what was in the box disappointed him.

Although he knew that this box contained good things, Cole couldn't use it.

For so many years, Cole has been consulting information, just to figure out what is in the box. The loss of his hands and feet has brought him to the edge of collapse. The contents of this box are his only hope.

It's a pity that he still couldn't decipher it, because after losing his hands and feet, he gradually became impoverished until he was forced to live in this marginal area.

As time went by, Cole no longer had any hope, and his ambitions were wiped out by age.

The words full of regrets stopped, Uncle Cole pointed to the box, his eyes were full of helplessness, and he smiled bitterly: "He will leave it to you. It must be a good thing, but it is a pity that I have no chance to get it."

After saying that, he grabbed the crutch, shook his head and left the room. As of today, he has no idea of ​​looking into the secrets.

Looking at the box, Dougla touched his chin, thought about it, and opened it directly.

The box opened and the contents came into view. It was a parchment roll and a sealed bottle.

The bottle was filled with a red liquid that looked like blood. Douglas picked up the parchment and had to put it down after looking at it because he did not recognize the words on it.

Putting down the parchment, Douglas tried again to see if he could open the bottle, but unfortunately, it still wouldn't move.

"Don't waste your efforts. There should be a specific way to open it, and the way is on the parchment."

The sound came, and Dougla looked back, only to see Uncle Cole looking at the bottle and curling his lips, and said helplessly: "I have tried everything, but I just can't open it."

After saying that and shrugging, Douglas had to put the things back into the box. Uncle Cole shook his head and said: "If you want to unlock the secrets, you must go to sea, otherwise you will not be able to succeed by staying on this island. .”

After speaking, he looked at Dougla, who nodded. He knew that Uncle Cole could clearly feel his restless heart.

"I will unlock the secret inside." Dougla said, and Uncle Cole smiled and said: "The stuff in this bottle must be good stuff. The unknown man and the man who came after him back then When pirates fight, their strength is very strong."

"You know that the collapse on the east side of the island was caused by their fighting."

Uncle Cole's whole body trembled as he spoke, and he said in a leisurely tone: "It's fortunate that the unknown man wanted to escape and headed towards the sea. Otherwise, this island would have definitely disappeared after the fight back then."

Hearing this, Dougla's pupils shrank. Hearing this, he seemed to be no ordinary strong man.

Even though there are not many people on Lotus Leaf Island, it is quite large. If you really have the ability to destroy this island, you must be a strong person.

After a few warnings, Uncle Cole walked out. Dougla picked up the box, went to the house where he lived, entered the room, and put the box aside.

"It seems we have to go to sea." After murmuring, Dougla glanced at the box and walked out.

He is confident that his physical talent can make him a good strong man, but he needs ways to train.

Routine exercise will help him improve, but in the end there will still be a limit.

Of course, what he was thinking about now was to unlock the secret of the parchment. The bright red blood in the bottle told him that it must be something good.

With some ideas in mind, Dougla began to exercise. Sufficient food allowed him to squeeze his physical potential without worrying about injury.

This winter will be the beginning of his first transformation.

The increasingly cold weather makes people stay in their homes as much as possible. No one on the island knows that a few families on the edge are living well this winter.

The growth in strength allowed Dougla to challenge the overlords in the forest. Fighting and fighting allowed him to slowly adapt. This time, he wanted to become the winner in the battle of the fittest.

In the forest, looking at the fallen prey, and then looking at the strength in his own body, Douglas took a long breath. This was already the fifth overlord in the forest.

Seeing that winter was coming to an end, he had grown stronger and had adapted to the strength of his body.

After returning with the prey, Modo and the others quickly walked over and started sorting it out.

In addition to good food and drink this winter, the remaining wealth is just a pile of fur.

"I said you kid wanted to eat all the prey in the forest," Uncle Modo said with a wry smile. I'm afraid he will remember Dougla's appetite for the rest of his life.

Hearing this, Dougla chuckled. He didn't know why, but his digestive system was very strong.

"Okay, let's sort it out quickly. Once these furs are taken care of, it should be a lot of money."

Uncle Cole said with a smile on his face. These things are gifts that Dougla left for them. With Bailey, they can buy better houses and then buy a fishing boat. They will live as a family in the future. , it won’t be so sad.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, they took care of the prey. After Dougla had a full meal, he went to exercise.

As winter turns to spring, the island becomes a little more popular. Douglas is still hunting. He needs a pele so that he can get out of the island.
