The South China Sea is the home of the Navy Marshal, but this does not prevent it from being a paradise for the pirates.

Looking down from the unguarded town, you can see a pirate ship parked outside the port. The ship itself is just a medium-sized ship, but it is blocked outside the small port, which looks like a giant in comparison.

There are dirty gray sails hanging on the high mast, and a skeleton flag is tied to the top... It is this flag that shows the nature of the ship.

The pirate ship slowly swung over, and a row of black holes on the side deck pointed to the town. Immediately afterwards, a flash of flames flashed over there. With the sharp whistling sound, several shells rushed to the town without resistance again.

The shells hit somewhere in the town, and the flames then started to burn.

The residents of the town who realized what was going on came to a complete riot in an instant.

Although this was Mo Fei's first time having experienced such a thing, he also knew that it was neither suitable to observe pirates nor to care about the mayor at this time.

"Run to the back mountain, Emissa."

Mo Fei directly grabbed the little maid Amisha and started running. He didn't want to get involved in the riot caused by the pirates in such a direct way. The right choice at this time should be to avoid it... Although he now has a devil fruit that can be described as "power", he obviously has no experience in how to apply it directly to combat people.

"Brother Mo Fei?" Emisa was a little confused when she was pulled away by Mo Fei.

"The purpose of the pirates going ashore is to rob. Which place in this town is the most valuable thing to rob? This is a clear thing." Mo Fei said.

His voice was very calm from beginning to end.

The pirates who came ashore would go straight to the town and look at the most luxurious houses, so the two of them could not stay here.

The pirates' shelling caused fires to ignite several places in the town. Most of the buildings here are wooden houses, which are easy to burn. In the narrow streets, beating flames and panicked crowds, Mo Fei pulled Emisa through.

"Hide it, hide it!"

"Hide what, run quickly! Run to the back mountain!"

"My house, my money..."

"Money is important or life is important, idiot!"

"Of course it's money, idiot!"

Noisy and messy sounds came into Mo Fei's ears. For some reason, he felt that some people seemed nervous and scared, but some people seemed a little happy when facing the pirates.

But he didn't have time to experience the various emotions spreading in the town, because the next moment, the exclamations from the crowd completely alerted him.

"Arson!"

Mo Fei subconsciously turned his head towards the port, and then he saw a pitch-black iron ball smashing towards him after passing a parabola - the shell was facing him, as if he had deliberately aimed it.

The shells flying at subsonic speeds look slowly and slowly because their flight trajectory will be exposed to people's vision for a relatively "long-term" period, so no one will think that the speed is incredible. It even gives people the illusion that they can catch it with just stretching out their hand.

But there is no doubt that humans are definitely not as fast as shells, so when the solid shells continue to magnify in Mo Fei's eyes, it is too late to run.

Unless... no, you can't do that.

During this crisis, Mo Fei's thoughts were ignited. He felt that the various hormone levels on his body soared up in an instant... Also soaring together were his blood pressure, the sounds around him, and even his heartbeat and breathing suddenly disappeared at this moment.

He felt that his body had rusted a machine that had been left for many years and lacked parts. Then suddenly, new gears were replaced with lubricating oil, and the rust was cleaned up. So he naturally and even subconsciously began to operate in an unprecedentedly efficient way.

So just before the shell smashed his head, he reached out to the shell, and then... the moment his hand touched the iron ball, the devil fruit's ability was activated.

First, the tip of the index finger, then the other fingers and palms. Mo Fei could clearly feel the contact process. Then he flipped his wrist and sucked his palm, and actually grabbed the shell in his hand.

All I can say is... this thing is really a bit hot.

“…”

The riots around disappeared at this moment, and more than one person must have seen such an unimaginable scene. Fortunately, because the sky was getting dark, everyone might not be able to see Mo Fei's face.

"Uh... I was scared." Mo Fei threw the shell on the ground, then breathed a sigh of relief and said.

“…”

So who scared whom?

Mo Fei also realized the reactions of the people around him, but this kind of surprise is theoretically better than the one he "takes off on the spot"? If he explained to everyone at this time, "the physiques of people are different. When I was extremely angry, I could catch a 36-pound shell with one hand", would they believe it?

"No need to care, it's a dud...

Run, you won’t have this kind of luck in the next round.”

Mo Fei just shouted like this, then pinched Emisa under her arm, leaving here at a strange high speed like flying.

"Oh, it turned out to be a dud..."

Some people with limited brain capacity said suddenly that they had lived for most of their lives and for the first time they heard that solid shells that were released from the bore were also called "duds".

Emissha was even more confused. When she was almost killed by a shell, she subconsciously closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she found that not only was she not beaten to death, but was about to reach the top of the back mountain.

Mo Fei hid the little maid high on the top of the mountain and said, "This place is considered a safe area, Emisa, we are here."

Pirates who go ashore will definitely not be able to climb the mountain, and it is difficult for ordinary people to climb the location Mo Fei chose.

"Well..." Emisa nodded in confusion. In short, she is quite safe now.

Mo Fei has already understood that it seems not strange to encounter pirates robbing ashore in the world where pirates are raging.

After staying on the mountain for a while, Mo Fei suddenly spoke, "Amisha, I'll go down to see the situation and I'll be back soon."

He seemed to have made some decision in his heart, so without waiting for the other party to react, his figure rushed directly into the forest below.

After leaving the top of the mountain, Mo Fei did not rush back to the town directly, but stopped at a slightly higher position, watching the robbery, setting fire and even killing actions happening below.

"People often say that a heroic death is better than a miserable life. The first half of the sentence is up to date, but the second half should be fine... Normal people don't want to live an ordinary and humble life."

The chaos in the town became more and more intense. After watching here for a while, Mo Fei suddenly remembered a very simple and reasonable sentence... Those who steal the hook were killed, and those who steal the country were killed.

"Whether it is a bandit or a pirate, it is definitely wrong to be a thief, so... you must be a big thief."

In the darkness, Mo Fei murmured to himself like this.

Pirates look quite scary, but they can't scare people with fear.

Mo Fei left the place where he was standing and headed straight for the pirate ship in the port.

………Mo Fei’s Demon Fruit Research Notes…………

"Although it takes a process of continuous development and hard work to create with all the capabilities of a demon fruit, after eating this "fruit" with indescribable taste, I instantly knew its most basic "effect".

Just like the innate reflex of a baby, humans know how to suck at the moment of birth.

Or, when I took a bite of shit, I also understood another thing:

I can fly.
