Chapter 5 - 5 - Finally A Ship!
As he mechanically repeated this behaviour, Will, who was waiting at his usual position, suddenly scrutinized his eyes!
There seems to be an additional black dot on the sea level in the direction he is looking?
He stood up abruptly and stared at it intently!
There must be something there!
For over a year, spending a lot of time every day staring at the horizon, he was sure he couldn't be wrong!
But whether or not it was the vessel he had been longing for is debatable, as it could have been a sea-king who emerged from the deep sea.
Since he once experienced it and almost lost his life!
The sea is still the territory of sea kings and the Fishmen.
After standing in his position for a whole hour, Will finally concluded that the black dot on the surface of the sea in front of him was not a sea king but a real ship!
Because he could see the mast standing straight up with the flag on it, but it was still a little far away, so he couldn't see what was painted on it.
But whether the ship was a navy or pirates, civilians or merchant ships, Will was not going to let go of what might be his only way out here alive!
So he excitedly transformed into his honey badger's form and began jumping straight out of the tree, and started running in that direction! .
After this year's exercise of hunting and being hunted, Will can't say that he is already a qualified warrior, but there is no problem at all to call him an experienced hunter.
Not to mention the amazing defence brought to him by the honey badger devil fruit and the confidence brought to him by the innate potential of the infinity gauntlet!
The only pity was that he had searched almost the entire island, but was unable to find a second Devil Fruit.
Will was very open-minded. He couldn't take advantage of everything, and it was a stroke of great luck that there was a Zoan Devil Fruit on this island.
Without this Devil Fruit, the Infinity Gauntlet's ability wouldn't have been activated, and he wouldn't have been able to live such a prosperous life, and he might have been taken away for dinner by a beast.
After feeling emotional, Will finally arrived at the beach at his fastest speed.
But what if the other party changes course midway?
After a moment of thought, Will immediately shouted at the forest!
The interior of the forest shook, and countless birds perched there were startled that they started flying into the sky.
What Will planned to do was to get the other party's attention, but the birds were not the ones he will use, but the things inside the forest.
Will's roar was like a signal, and all the numbered creatures in the forest-lined up in front of him, including the three great overlords, Big Black, Little White and Little Black.
Will felt that he was already the best in the world at naming names, so why did he need such complicated names? Is it edible?
After taking a good look at the dozens of various creatures in front of him, Will sent the ones that couldn't be used back to the forest and then left the ones with loud voices behind, including the Chimpanzee named Little Black with a head of bread and the White Tiger named Little White who was obviously getting fat.
"Howl! Let your voice be heard and howl!"
"Anyone who contributes we'll all have a full meal tonight! But for those who didn't work will become the meal of those who worked!"
Will roared and threatened, although he didn't know if they understood it he didn't care.
But this time reflects the importance of the Little Black, after making sure that Will will just let them roar at the sea, and not to give them a 'sermon', Little Black hammered his chest, feeling the internal organs of its body shaken.
"Whoa ho ho ho ho… ROAR!"
With Little Black in the lead and a mesmerizing way of communicating, all the animals left behind began to howl as loud as they could!
"This should do it..."
Will felt like his ears were going to be deafened if he stayed here any longer, so he decisively retreated!
He climbed up a tree again after he got farther away, and he didn't know if the howl made a difference or not, but he felt that the ship was getting closer and closer to him.
So close that he could vaguely see what was happening on top of it.
The charred flag, the broken mast, the pitted hull...
It was as if it had just been through a terrible battle!
And it seems that was exactly what happened!
Because Will has discovered that there is a pirate ship with a skeleton flag following closely behind the almost destroyed ship, and from time to time one can see splashes on the water, which should be their cannon, and from this situation, it seems that the ship behind is deliberately not sinking the ship in front.
The situation is now obvious, the pirates will not let their prey run away, but since they also need to maximize their profit, they will not sink in the ship because the losses are too great, and they also do not have the energy and patience to salvage it.
So, in a desperate attempt to escape, the suspected 'fat goat' ship entered the uninhabited sea.
And if they got caught by the pirates, no one on the ship would likely have a good time, either being killed on the spot or sold into slavery, and the women would undoubtedly have been worse off.
But obviously, there are smart people on that 'fat sheep' ship in front...
"Captain, are you sure you want to go that way? Didn't you hear the cry of such a fierce beast?"
The first mate at the helm has fallen into deep despair, with beasts in front and pirates behind, and sea kings living under the water eating people without spitting their bones, how are they going to survive in this desperate situation!
But the middle-aged man called the captain of the ship did not give up hope, he still insisted on his choice.
He is the captain of the ship, and also the president of a chamber of commerce, and to have made it this far from nothing, he relied on his daring to fight and dash!
An island with so many howling beasts could turn a bad situation from lifeless to deadly, so why not take a chance!
After all, no matter how fierce the beast, it is only following their instinctive action, even if some of them will be eaten as food, but at least some of them can survive, and there is a chance of a comeback.
And he thinks that those greedy pirates who do not spare their ship's treasure will not be scared off by a few fierce beasts, so before dying, he planned to drag a few of their enemies into their death!
The ruthless colour in the middle-aged man's eyes flickered away.
Since the other party is so greedy then let's try to see if their teeth are hard enough!
"Target island ahead, full speed ahead!"
