Eric only lay down for half a day. After all, it was just too much physical exertion. It was because the average person in the world of One Piece had the best physical strength, or the food he ate was rich in nutrients, which could be used to maintain the huge body energy consumption. Eric didn't even know about this, as long as his body had recovered.
While resting in bed, Eric also discovered that his attributes had increased.
[Physique: three and a half stars]
[Physical skills: one and a half stars]
[Swordsmanship: Three and a half stars]
[Gunmanship: One Star]
[Armed color domineering: one and a half stars]
[See and hear domineering: half star]
'Not only the physique and swordsmanship have been enhanced, but also the domineering power. Is it because the physical strength and domineering power were consumed too much and I almost died? I'm not a race with a tail on the back! Maybe every time you experience a near-death situation, your attributes will increase: or you will consume too much physical strength and domineering energy, and increase the total upper limit of physical strength and domineering power. This should be studied carefully in the future. '
'And the sword energy increased by one ☆, is it because [Hegemony] is also equivalent to a flying slash? Successfully using the Flying Slash means breaking the barrier to becoming a swordsman, so the system considers that I can use the Flying Slash? I'll try to see if I can use it later. '
…
Snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and the temperature began to drop. "We have arrived at the Winter Island. Remember to keep warm, Red Eyes and Chiron."
"Already dressed."
"So fast!" Eric complained, turning around and going into the house to get dressed.
Although the climate of the Grand Line is unpredictable, the weather near the islands is not that changeable, so if the weather on the sea becomes calm, it means there is an island nearby.
"We should be arriving at Drum Island soon." Looking at Captain Jack's compass, the direction was correct.
'Smooth sailing, no extra problems, no encounter with some idiot who eats everything. Well, he hasn't eaten the Tunton Fruit yet, and Blackbeard hasn't gotten the Darkness Fruit yet, so he hasn't become independent yet if he stays with Whitebeard. So Wapol should still be a citizen of his country. Eric looked carefully at the Devil Fruit column in the mall. The Tunton Fruit and Thunder Fruit were still there.
"There is an island ahead!" Chitong, who was looking far away from the watchtower, jumped down to report.
"Well, let's go around the island first and see if there is a suitable stopping place." Eric looked at the compass again.
Because I didn’t know whether Tuntun Guo was behind this route, I circled about one-eighth of the island and found that the compass changed its direction quite a bit as the route changed. I traced it on the chart and found the compass intersection. It's on this island.
"Reef the sails, anchored!" Eric commanded.
Cocowit Village
"Have you heard? The newly ascended king has issued a new law."
"Ah, I heard that only twenty doctors with good medical skills were left, and all the others were driven away! What will the patients do?"
"unacceptable."
In the tavern, the people around were talking about the king's new decree, and no one noticed the new unfamiliar face.
"Ah, that bastard has ascended the throne." After hearing these conversations, Eric knew that the bastard Wapol had ascended the throne.
"What's going on?" Chitong, who was enjoying the food, was also curious. After all, the chatter among the crowd was getting louder and louder.
"A scumbag became king. When he came to the throne, he announced a decree that only twenty doctors with the best medical skills were allowed to exist to form his medical team. All other doctors were driven away, so that sick people could only seek treatment from him. Disease, people who are afraid of getting sick in the future will not dare to disobey his orders.”
"There is such a despicable person, I'm going to bury him." Chitong couldn't help it and wanted to kill this guy immediately.
"He is indeed a bastard, but ah, the people here will still tolerate him for several years!" Eric couldn't help but comforted, and he didn't know whether this was comfort or the truth.
"Only by relying on your strength, you can kill Wapol and make the people here happy, but Chitong, what will the people here do if they encounter such a bastard king again in the future? Can you always protect them? Do you have any idea? Have you ever had this problem?"
"Indeed, just killing a bastard will not fundamentally solve this problem." Chiron, who has knowledge unmatched by most people, agreed.
"So they have to endure it themselves and resist the tyranny that overthrew Wapol. Only they can save themselves, and others cannot replace them."
"If they really want to overthrow the king in the future but lack the strength, you can ask them to contact us and I will help." Eric suggested to the silent Chitong.
"Hmm!" Chitong didn't have a good impression of the corrupt and dark king of the kingdom.
"So, are you full?"
"full."
"Sincere benefit is 980,000 Baileys."
"..."
“Thank you for your patronage!”
Prices in the countries along the Grand Line were indeed much higher than those in the East China Sea, with one meal costing nearly a million berriles.
"By the way, boss, is there a place to collect treasures here?"
"There is a place to change money, just on the street next door."
"Thanks, uncle!"
"Big...I'm only thirty years old!"
"This place can only exchange half of the treasure because there is not enough money." Although I have never forgotten the 50 to 60 million treasures obtained from Creek, after entering the Grand Line, the first thing I arrived at was the small garden - - On an uninhabited island, I had no choice but to come to Cigu Island to exchange money. As a result, the money exchange in this town did not have enough cash, and in order to take care of people who might need it in the future, they only exchanged 30 million beli.
"Should you take the treasure to the next town to exchange for money first? Or go find the fruit? Captain."
"Well... let's go in the direction pointed by the compass first. Maybe there is a small town in that direction. Give that to me, just for some exercise on the way." Although the weight of the remaining treasure is not enough for Eric to exercise, but There is nothing wrong with wanting to become stronger anytime, anywhere.
On the way to the next town, I encountered a strange creature - Labang. It has the shape of a rabbit, but is larger than a brown bear. It is a gregarious creature with a ferocious personality and will attack other creatures. Dalton, who ate the cow fruit, commented that it was "just a rabbit".
Do you think this creature deserves a beating? It's true that he deserves a beating. Not only does he take the initiative to attack, he also triggers an avalanche and buries the town together. But this guy seems to repay his kindness and is much stronger than some humanoid white-eyed wolves.
"Well, it's better to beat them up." Eric made up his mind: "Don't take action, this is my test."
Eric put down his treasure and rushed towards the nearest Labang. The rabbit in front of him also jumped over Eric and waved his right forelimb, showing several sharp claws that should not appear on the rabbit's forelimbs.
"Shenglong Fist!" He lowered his body to avoid Labang's blow, and then flew away with an uppercut.
At this time, suddenly the Laban crowd seemed to hear the order and rushed over together. Eric pulled out his saber and said, "Hasa!" A small sword energy was sent out from the swung knife and hit the snow in front of Laban. , the snow rose to the sky due to the sword energy, blocking the view between the two sides.
"Shaving" Eric did not hesitate to use his only transfer skill. (He did not let his feet get stuck in the snow.) The back of the knife, which was hardened by domineering force, slashed on each Laban's back. The impact caused made Laban One by one they fell to the ground unconscious.
"Although they are rough-skinned and thick-bodied, huh...but they are blessed with domineering energy, huh...they won't be able to wake up for the time being." The battle didn't last long, but the physical strength and domineering energy were severely consumed in the cold temperature, and there were a lot of Labangs. , The consumption was very large, and Eric couldn't help but feel a little breathless.
"The swordsmanship has improved, but..." Chitong stepped forward to comment on Eric's swordsmanship, then stopped talking.
"What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it." Eric looked at Chitong's hesitant expression and couldn't help but ask back.
"...It's nothing." Chitong stopped talking again, half-sentence, feeling uncomfortable.
Chiron also saw the problem, but did not intend to say it explicitly: "It's better to discover this kind of thing yourself, Captain."
"That's half the story...Forget it, let's move forward." Although Eric was curious about what they wanted to say, he didn't intend to press them.
