"Kate, give me thirty seconds. After thirty seconds, no matter what happens to me, come and rescue me."
Although the swimming pool was empty at this time, someone might come for a night swim. In order to prevent rumors of people with swimming abilities, Oran decided to let Kate fish him out, even if he could overcome this weakness.
After stretching his wrists, Orlan jumped directly into the water in a not-so-graceful posture. He had never practiced diving, so if the competition was about who could make the biggest splash, then he would definitely have won.
Then, in less than thirty seconds, Kate jumped right after her.
The reason is simple. After Oran jumped down, he never floated up again. All that could be seen was a string of bubbles.
"Kate, are you a little too impatient? Didn't I tell you to wait thirty seconds?"
Orlan did not sink to the bottom, he just chose to swim underwater. His strength did not disappear when he entered the water, which showed that Yongen's help was successful.
"Meow, I thought you sank to the bottom."
"It's okay, the result is the same. Do you want to swim a little longer?"
"No need, we'll go back after you finish the test."
A puff of steam came out of Kate's body. She used electric current to dry the moisture on her body surface, and then picked up a comb to tidy up the hair on her body.
"By the way, take this. It will be much more convenient to pack things in the future."
Orlan raised his hand and created a book and handed it to Kate. The items made by the superhuman fruit of the creation system can not only be used by himself, but also by others.
Moreover, unlike the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, the Childlike Fruit becomes ineffective when the user loses consciousness.
The ability to create things will not disappear even if the person with the ability is unconscious.
"Each page is a special independent space where you can put your clothes or small parts, and they won't fall out when you turn the page.
If you want to store living things, just use the bookmarks on each page to secure them. This size should be enough for you."
Orlan adjusted the size of the books to the size of ordinary folders. Although each book has exaggerated space and a large capacity, the size of the objects placed inside is limited to the size of the book.
For example, a bamboo pole can be stuffed in when it is laid flat, but it will get stuck outside when it is stood up or turned sideways.
The size of the book is not unchangeable, but only Orlan himself can do this, and when taking it out, the book must be restored to its original size. Outsiders only have the right to use it and cannot make changes.
Storing things in this way also has an anti-theft function. Even if the book is stolen, Orlan only needs to eliminate the book and then summon it again to bring the item back.
There is a certain distance limit. If the distance is too far, Orlan has no choice but to follow the general direction of perception to find the way.
Even so, this ability is still very unreasonable, but this is the nature of the devil fruit.
The research on MADS can let others know how to use or replicate the ability, but it cannot figure out how this ability works. This matter itself is metaphysics.
The operating rules of many devil fruits do not follow the laws of physics at all. They are things that even Newton's coffin cannot hold down. However, Newton seems to have been cremated, so it should be impossible for him to come back to life in this case.
"This ability is really convenient. Will it also generate a directory and introduction information by itself?"
Kate tried to put the comb into the book. Not only did the page where the comb was located appear in the table of contents, but there was even an introductory text on the page where the comb was stored.
[A wooden comb made of sandalwood. ]
This simple line of words reflects another ability of the Book-Book Fruit. It seems to be able to analyze the information of objects stored in the book.
"A kind of ability. The fruit I've been looking for is not simple. After I develop it for a while, my control over it will be much stronger than before. The potential of this fruit is quite great."
Orlan waved his fingers, and a row of pocket-sized books the size of fingernails lined up like flying birds, forming various shapes according to his thoughts, and finally disappeared into thin air.
There was a slight problem with the ship's route at the end. The changeable weather in the new world affected them, and an inexplicable lightning waterfall forced them to change their route.
It was not until noon that they reached the diving position.
The ship had completed the coating work in advance, so there was no need to waste time waiting and it headed directly towards the deep sea.
People in the underground world often need to travel back and forth to Fishman Island due to business needs and many other reasons, so they have also trained reliable coating craftsmen for this purpose.
This job may seem insignificant, but it concerns the fate of everyone on board.
The environment gives rise to professions. There are a large number of coating craftsmen living in the Chabaotuan Archipelago. The problem is that there is no assessment and evaluation for this profession. The level of coating technicians is uneven, and there are even many scammers.
It's not so bad if you encounter a ship with poor skills. The bubble will burst as soon as the ship dives, so the loss will not be great. At most, some supplies will be lost, and the ship can be salvaged and still used.
The most frightening thing is to encounter a coating technician who is not very good at it. At the beginning, everything is fine, but after diving to a certain depth, the bubble will break because it cannot withstand the water pressure. The result is usually the destruction of the boat and the death of people.
The wreckage of ships that were crushed into pieces by water pressure due to the shattering of bubble membranes can often be seen in the Chabao Archipelago.
It just so happens that these people hide very well, and those who have encountered problems cannot come back to give bad reviews. These people are even like excellent craftsmen, with a 100% positive review rate.
Therefore, looking for wild craftsmen in the Chabao Archipelago is as exciting as opening a blind box. You never know what will come out of the next box.
It is different for the craftsmen trained by themselves. They have only one requirement for the coating craftsmen, that is, all participants must accompany the boat every time they go to sea.
No one will be irresponsible for his or her own life. Under this management method, the safety of the ship is guaranteed to a certain extent.
"Dad, is it like this underwater? It's so dark and not interesting at all."
Leliana had read a picture book about Fishman Island, which described the beauty of Fishman Island in great detail, and even portrayed it as a treasure land covered with corals and pearls.
Picture book culture is a characteristic of this ocean, similar to serialized comics. Oran himself is also reading a story called Seven Monkeys and Pearls, which is considered a way to relax.
After all, he has always disagreed with Vegapunk's idea of devoting all his energy to research. Excessive pressure will only turn interest into torture.
"We haven't arrived yet. This is at most halfway. If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, you have to endure the loneliness along the way. Nothing can be achieved overnight.
And if you look carefully, you will find that this silent deep sea actually hides many secrets."
Hearing this, Leliana narrowed her eyes and looked towards the deep sea. Finally, she really saw a bunch of light spots. They were a group of jellyfish drifting with the ocean current.
The sea area at this depth does not see sunlight all year round. Except for animals such as sea beasts and sea kings that float to the surface of the sea, the vision of most marine creatures living here has degenerated, and some have also developed special luminous organs.
"It really is!"
"This is probably the secret hidden in the world. Only with enough patience can you discover it all."
The appearance of the jellyfish group was just a coincidence, but this creature could make the children happy for a long time. Not long after, another abyss appeared in front of them. The crew members skillfully manipulated the boat to adjust the angle and continued to move deeper along the gap.
As they sailed out of the darkness again, Fishman Island appeared in front of the ship.
"Wow, is this Fishman Island?"
The branches of the sun tree Eve are inserted into the seabed, and countless fish are swimming around. Due to the light, the number of creatures gathered here is almost the largest in the deep sea.
The Fishman Island in the bubble is floating in the ocean.
"Yes, the desserts you ate before were bought from here. This time we bought some more, enough for you to eat for a long time."
With the Shushu Fruit, you no longer have to worry about food preservation and fresh water.
When sailing, these two points are very fatal. If you don't have fruits and green leafy vegetables for a long time, many diseases such as sepsis will occur.
The storage time of refrigerators is limited. When sailing long distances, people generally rely on canned food and vitamin tablets. Most people bring some beans for sprouting. It is quite rare to grow fresh crops on the ship.
There is no need to worry about this problem with the Shushu Fruit. As long as the food is not spoiled when it is put in, the food will still be fresh even after several years.
The same goes for fresh water. Many ships carry some fresh water purifiers to purify sea water. However, due to the uneven development of the technology tree, these purifiers vary greatly.
The equipment on their current ship is pretty good. You can even see water tanks covered with green hair on the pirate ship, which cannot be cleaned halfway through the voyage. These pirates usually mix water with spirits to drink, which can reduce some problems.
Now that Fishman Island is not under the protection of Charlotte Linlin, the dessert factory has not been built yet, but the combined inventory of the dessert shops on the island is enough for Leliana to eat for a while.
Unlike the tea party Katakuri took them to, this time the ship was not just passing through Fishman Island, but also to purchase some things.
When the ship entered the country, Oran also picked up the Den Den Mushi. The last time he came here, he asked for Shak's number.
It had been a month since he hired Shaq, and he wanted to see how Shaq was doing.
"Shaq, it's me. Are you on Fishman Island now?"
"Mr. Orlan? Are you here again? Of course I am. Please wait at immigration. I'll pick you up."
Shaq hung up the phone in a hurry, not even giving Oran a chance to speak.
"Shaq? Is that the fishman?"
Kate thought about it for a moment and remembered the name.
"Well, I asked the fishman who left there with us to help me with some things."
"Meow, I still remember him. He said he wanted to go back to his home first."
When Kate mentioned the word home, her voice paused, as if she remembered something.
"Speaking of which, I wanted to find a way to Zou for you, but I couldn't find it. If you want to go home, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a while."
The home of the Fishmen is Fishman Island, and the Minks naturally have their own hometown, the Furry Duchy on Zou's back, which is the hometown of all Minks.
"No, maybe it's a good thing if I can't find it. My past is gone there, and now I have something new to rely on."
It was her hometown, but that was all. Kate had no relatives in Zou at this time.
Zou's situation is very special. He exists on the back of a giant elephant and his magnetic field cannot be captured by the recording pointer. If he wants to return there, he can only rely on the life card.
Those who hold this kind of life card are all members of the Fur Tribe. It can be said that the leakage of any life card means that a Fur Tribe member who is away from home has encountered an accident.
Without the life card, the way to find Zou is to circle around in the New World, which is still a bit dangerous for them now, so they put it on hold.
"Don't be discouraged, it just takes some time, and you'll find a way."
"Yeah, Meow, I believe you."
Not long after, Shaq's figure came running from a distance, but compared to last time, he had more scars on his body.
