The Black Prince of Pirates

The extra-large fireball that brings light and warmth to the world hangs in the eastern sky. The deep blue sea waves are covered with a layer of sparkling golden light. The cold sea breeze is blowing on the sea, with golden coffee embroidered on it. The tree's dark blue flag fluttered gently in the wind.

The bald sea monster Mianjin saw most of his body submerged under the water. Only his big round pancake-like face emerged from the sea. He was observing this world that was completely different from the bottom of the sea with panic and uneasy eyes. He left the deep sea and there was no need for him to continue. Tug the boat, but he followed closely beside the fleet.

Every four or five seconds, his wandering eyes would glance at Iska, who was standing on the flagship deck practicing her sword skills, like a child who was afraid that her mother would suddenly disappear.

Contrary to his huge physique, Aamatsumi's intelligence level is indeed that of a child, and unlike a well-educated child like Princess Shirahoshi, Ayatsumi has never received any instruction, and Vander Deken is just Use him as a tool and teach him no knowledge.

In addition, the living environment has been limited to the outer edges of Fish-Man Island and the underwater ruins further away. Except for Vander Deken, there are no other mermaids and fish-men around with whom to communicate, and even common sense only remains there. Not at the same level as when he was kicked out of Fishman Street for being too big.

He knows the meaning of good and bad, but does not know what is good and what is bad; he trusts others easily, and his naive character led him to be deceived and used by Vander Deken, a villain who disguised himself as a good guy; he is very afraid of being alone. , for fear of being abandoned, when he learned that Vander Deken would abandon him, he began to cry, but Geo lied to him and told him that he had heard wrong, so he was not sad; however, his nature was still kind and knew You need to apologize after making a mistake.

In short, it is a complete child's thinking!

After he learned that Captain Vander Deken was imprisoned on Fish-Man Island for committing a crime, he learned that he had also made a mistake, so he honestly apologized to Princess White Star, and was later told that he had become Prince Elus. A subordinate of

He became what he is now.

Except when he went to hunt sea beasts to replenish food, he always stayed by the flagship, for fear of being abandoned again.

Flagship, on deck,

"Miss Iska, how is the scenery of the new world?" Fran walked out of the cabin, looked at Iska who was maintaining her sword, and walked over to say hello.

"It doesn't look any different than Paradise."

Iska concentrated on maintaining her sword.

This sword can be regarded as a famous sword. Although it is not a historical relic such as a big sword or a good sword, it is still a fine piece forged by a famous master trained by the world government. If she were not a second lieutenant of the Navy Headquarters, There is really no guarantee that I can get this famous sword.

"Haha! If only this sea was as calm as the paradise." Fran looked at the sparkling sea and smiled. She didn't know how long such a good scenery could last.

The climate in the New World is far worse than that in the Paradise. Except for some areas near the islands where the climate is relatively stable, if you really go deep into the sea you will experience how moody the climate here is. The pirates who rush into the New World from the Paradise every year are at least One-third were defeated by the harsh climate of the New World.

If you want to survive in the new world, you must not only be strong enough, but also have a capable navigator.

"What did your Highness do?"

Iska had nothing to talk about such a boring topic as the weather. Seeing that there was no third person around, she immediately lowered her voice and asked about Elus's whereabouts, "Don't say His Highness is in the room. I have seen and heard before. I noticed His Highness left.”

"There is an island nearby. Your Highness has something to do on the island."

Fran replied calmly.

She knew that Elus's whereabouts would definitely not be able to deceive Iska's attention, but there was no need to hide it in front of Iska. After all, Iska and the battleships that were borrowed from the navy still needed to be returned. Unlike the Marines, Iska is a member of her own family and a member of the Exmundo Kingdom.

"That island is the research base of the World Government. An accident occurred on the island. The navy and researchers have evacuated. However, it seems that there was no time to clean up the island. His Highness went to see if he could take advantage." Take advantage. The words were spoken smoothly, without any embarrassment at all.

"Research base...no wonder!"

Iska blinked.

Although she is young, she has been practicing in the paradise for a long enough time, and she is able to earn a cruel nickname like "Nail Hand". She also has some knowledge and knows that the world government and the countries that join the world government are not in harmony. There are countless overt and covert struggles.

As an armed force directly under the World Government, the navy is also looked down upon by various kingdoms.

Iska once encountered a similar thing. When she was in the paradise, a world government affiliated country raised a group of pirates to do some shameful things, but Iska caught them. She originally wanted to catch them all, but ended up chasing them. In the process, they broke into the territorial waters of that kingdom and were blocked by the kingdom's navy. In the end, they could only watch the group of pirates escape.

This incident caused a huge blow to Iska, and she was not in a good mood for a long time.

She was not surprised at all that Eleus was taking advantage of the World Government. She understood why Eleus's whereabouts were so secretive. This was because he did not want to expose himself to the World Government and the Navy.

Fran watched the changes in Iska's expression calmly and did not find any resistance or disgust from Iska. She was relieved in her heart. She was also a little worried that Iska would not understand what His Highness did. After all, he was Coming from a navy background, it would be very troublesome if I still miss him.

Of course, this is just her little thought.

When she told His Highness her concerns, she was laughed at twice and said she was too suspicious... maybe!But even so, Fran was still prepared to continue observing Iska for a while.

"Since His Highness will not be able to return for a while, why don't you stop here? Otherwise, it will be difficult to find him if he goes far away." Iska suddenly asked again.

"Don't worry about this. Your Highness has my life card. As long as you don't lose your way, you can get here."

Fran explained with a smile.

Iska nodded and said nothing more.

----

Punk Hassad.

This is a spring island. The warm spring-like climate all year round gives this island a high vegetation coverage. The lush appearance is very pleasing to the eye. However, this is already a thing of the past. It was just a night's work and the permeating poisonous gas. Not only did it kill the humans in the institute, it also caused huge harm to the animals and plants in the forest.

Dark purple poisonous gas filled the island uncontrollably. Looking from the air, you could see the bodies of fallen humans and animals in places not covered by trees.

Elus's luck is not bad.

The place where the fleet rushed out of the sea was not far from Punk Hassad. Although the location of the island could not be seen from the ship, Elus's 'detection nerve' spread to the limit and discovered the gathered breath of life, which was related to the ocean. The creatures are completely different and only belong to the human soul fluctuations.

After asking Fran to cover his tracks, he spread his wings and flew out of the open window. He fluttered his wings and left the battleship at an extremely fast speed, so fast that the lookouts on each ship did not notice him. 's departure.

After flying all the way to the location sensed by the detection nerve, we found Punk Hassad successfully.

There is a punk hazard sign hanging on the main door of the island's research facility. The huge sign can be seen at a glance, but compared to this sign, the poisonous gas permeating the island is more conspicuous. Elus did not dare to set foot on the island easily.

He didn't know how powerful the poisonous gas was.

Even though he was protected by Bengyu, Eleus was not prepared to test the law with his own body.

He flew in the air, increasing the distance as much as possible to avoid direct contact with the poisonous gas. He just hovered over the island, and his open 'detection nerves' locked on the breath of life still living on the island. Before, it was only a vague sense when the distance was too far. After arriving at a group of people, and now that he was getting closer, he realized that there were quite a lot of living people on the island.

A rough calculation showed that hundreds of people were still alive and had not been killed by the poison gas.

However, [-]% of the life breaths were gathered in one place. Looking down from the air and taking a closer look, Elus recognized that it was probably a prison. He thought about it in his mind and guessed that it might be to prevent prisoners. Prison breakout, so the prison was built more securely. This poison gas leak actually saved the lives of these prisoners.

As for why there is a building like a prison in the research base, it is not surprising at all. It is just human experimentation. They are all criminals anyway, and no one will talk about the equality of human rights when using waste. In this world ruled by kingdoms and nobles, the so-called There is no room for human rights to appear at all.

The prisoner in the prison, Elus, paid no attention to it. All his attention was focused on the breath of life moving in the poisonous research institute.

"Looks like I'm really lucky!"

A slight smile appeared on Eleus's face.

He raised his right hand and folded his four fingers. Only his index finger aimed at a building in the research institute below, with a dark green light gathering on his fingertips.

- Flicker!

The high-density spiritual pressure rushed towards the building below, easily demolishing the building with a devastating momentum. The billowing smoke and dust mixed with poisonous gas rushed into the sky. However, before he could get close to Elus, he was struck by him. He waved his hand to disperse all the smoke and dust.

After destroying a building, Eleus did not continue to attack, but waited patiently in the air with his leisure time.

As the saying goes, it is enough to scare the snake away.

He had already hit the grass, waiting for the hidden snake to appear.

He was not allowed to wait long. From the building next to the ruins, M. Caesar Courant, wearing a smoke-like coat, floated out of the building. The mad scientist stayed on the ruins for a few seconds, and then slowly Slowly floated into the sky.

"Nice to meet you here, Dr. Caesar."

Eleus was the first to say hello.

The pale Caesar looked at Eleus tremblingly. He did not dare to get too close and kept a safe distance in his mind. Even so, his body was still trembling with fear. He kept complaining in his heart, why is it black? The prince will appear in Punk Hassad, which is really scary!

"His Royal Highness Prince Elvus, I wonder why you came to Punk Hassad?"

Caesar asked cautiously.

He was always paying attention to the changes in Elus's expression, fearing that he would accidentally offend the fifth overlord of the new world and kill him in a rage.

As a senior researcher in the Naval Scientific Force, his status is certainly not as respected as that of Dr. Vegapunk, but apart from Dr. Vegapunk, there are not many researchers in the scientific force who can compare with him. Don’t look at it. He was said to be nothing short of good by Vegapunk.

But that's Dr. Vegapunk!

Apart from himself, there is probably no one in the world who can compare with his wisdom.

I say these words to emphasize that Caesar, a timid, bully, and extremely conceited guy, actually has a very high status. He can understand a lot of information about the world government and the navy, and he is also well aware of the changes on the sea. Like the information collected by the navy, Regarding the information on Elus, Caesar had also taken a closer look at the files on Elus because he was studying Devil Fruits.

Just because I saw Elus’ file,

He clearly knew that this black prince was a real strong man, a monster who stood at the top of the world like the four emperors and the three generals. He was someone he could never mess with.

"I'm here for you, Dr. Caesar."

Eleus said with a smile, like an unreasonable swordsman. He even abandoned the rules of saluting each other and directly raised his sword to strike.

Caesar's eyes almost popped out, well, they already popped out and turned into two balls of gas.

"Mingren don't tell secret words, Dr. Caesar, the poisonous gas on the island is a crime you committed. If you don't have the means to escape from the island, I'm afraid you will be caught by the navy and sent to the seabed in a short time." Spending the rest of your life in prison, I think it would be a waste of your talents, so I came here to invite you, Doctor, to be my subordinate."

"By the way, Doctor, I don't like people rejecting my kindness."

Finally, Eleus added.

After he finished speaking, he stared directly at Caesar, waiting for an answer.

Caesar's gaseous eyes were stuffed back into his sockets. He looked at Elus with some confusion. It was actually an invitation... His panic calmed down a little. He didn't think that Elus would be with him. Just kidding, because there is no need at all. He doesn't think he has what it takes to stop Elus from doing something in Punk Hassad.

And think about it,

What the Black Prince said was not a threat. He was now a trapped beast on the island. He could not escape from Punk Hassad and was destined to be arrested by the navy. Instead of being trapped in the underwater prison for the rest of his life, it was better to join the Black Prince. With such a solid backing, even the navy would find it difficult to cause trouble for itself.

He quickly calculated in his mind and found that seeking refuge with the Black Prince was indeed his only way to survive.

What's more, Eleus obviously left no room for him to refuse.

and so--

"His Royal Highness Prince Elus, I wonder what I can do for you? Do you need a large-scale killing weapon? The h2s poison gas below is my work. If you need it, I can help you make a large amount of it. weapon."

A flattering smile appeared on Caesar's face. He plucked up the courage to float to Aleus, and immediately tried his best to please Aleus, the new boss.

Looking at his sycophantic appearance, it is really hard to imagine that this is actually a senior researcher of the Naval Science Corps.
