Normally speaking, a chamber of commerce ship would not carry outsiders, because it involved certain risks.
But Skyler was all alone, and plus he paid enough money, so the Captain agreed to it.
Inside the cabin, Skyler felt the violent shaking of the hull, and through the window, he could see a large number of crew members dealing experiencedly with the sudden storm…
The climate of the New World was unpredictable; a dozen minutes ago, it had been a clear sky, but suddenly, the waves became turbulent.
The churning black giant waves were as high as tens of meters.
Under such natural disasters, humans undoubtedly appeared extremely weak.
The big ship was like a lonely leaf boat, with the possibility of capsizing at any moment.
But Skyler was not worried at all.
The navigators of the merchant ship were very experienced, and the crew members were also well-trained; otherwise, how would they dare to run cargo shipping in the Grand Line.
The escort team of this ship also had outstanding strength…
Ten days had passed since he left Horseshoe Town, and during this period, Skyler used the Hyperbolic Time Chamber once again, purely to polish his physical fitness.
He spent another three hundred actual combat points.
Which meant three years.
Right now, the strength of his body was approaching saturation, reaching the limit of growth possible for his current age group.
Sometimes he had to admit that everyone’s talent was different…
According to the original trajectory of life, the potential of his predecessor was just like this.
Solely looking at physical flesh and blood, not to mention swordsmanship, he would at best muddle along to a bounty of seven or eight hundred, coupled with the way of the sword—if Skyler had not time-traveled, Demon skyler would have ultimately stopped at the level of a tens of millions bounty pirate.
As for whether he could enter the New World, it would depend on his own luck.
“Speaking solely of physical strength, my current self should not be weaker than that Major Therne…” Skyler withdrew his gaze, clenched his fists, and felt the power contained within his body.
Marine soldiers had a dedicated training environment and fine equipment, something ordinary pirates could not compare with.
Coupled with the fact that Major Therne’s age was more than half older than Skyler’s…
At this age, being able to match the latter physically was already extremely remarkable.
Still not enough!
With this bit of strength, let alone in the Grand Line, one couldn’t walk sideways even in the Four Seas Paradise…
Although the Four Seas were a rookie field, there were also many perverted monsters and factions, such as the group from the Worst Generation; although these guys had not yet entered the Grand Line, their strength still could not be underestimated.
Compared with any team among them, the Tils Pirates were dwarfed by comparison.
System: The host’s current physical attributes have reached a bottleneck.
If you want to go further, you can only use external objects to break the limiter!
Skyler summoned the system and saw a reminder.
System: Recommended strengthening potion currently applicable: Heart-Shaped Herb Potion, which can help the host open Gene Lock Lv1.
Heart-Shaped Herb Potion?
Skyler found this name somewhat familiar.
Thinking carefully, it seemed to be a thing from Marvel, belonging to the superhero Black Panther of the Wakanda Empire.
It possessed a special plant enzyme that could stimulate physical potential.
It possessed senses and speed comparable to those of a leopard, and so on.
It was a legendary herb blessed by the Panther God.
It’s just that the price was a bit high.
Five hundred actual combat points!
Skyler thought about it and ultimately bought it.
Using it without hesitation, after drinking this item, his previously stagnant attribute values began to jump wildly…
At the same time, Skyler sensed that his internal organs were a bit feverish, and the world in his eyes suddenly seemed to become different.
His seven orifices, such as ears, nose, and eyes, felt as if a thin film had been torn open.
His perception of the outside world became even sharper.
He could even hear the movement of two crew members whispering privately outside the cabin, more than a hundred meters away.
“Taijutsu is the foundation.
Spending this money on the basics is not a loss…
It’s just that I need to hurry up and kill people…” Looking at less than three hundred actual combat points remaining, Skyler exhaled a foul breath.
Half a month later, one day, the Captain finally came over and knocked on Skyler’s door.
“Hey…
Long Whale Island is almost here!”
The door was pushed open, and a swordsman whose body was not robust but lean, with streamline muscles all over his body, walked out.
The feeling this person gave him could be summed up in one word: cold!
The chamber of commerce person in charge swallowed a mouthful of saliva and came back to his senses: “Although I don’t know what you are going to Long Whale Island for, let me remind you, that place is the territory of the Executioner Monde!”
“Got it.”
Skyler replied with a grunt.
Immediately after, the caravan placed a small boat on the sea for Skyler to use.
The president also threw a Log Pose to Skyler and pointed him in the direction, “This is already the offshore waters of Long Whale Island.
If you follow this direction, you should arrive in half an hour…”
Having said that, he watched the man and the boat leave without looking back.
“Finally left…”
A moment later, seeing Skyler’s figure disappear into the boundless sea, the president’s hanging heart finally dropped, and he took out a newly delivered newspaper.
It was delivered by the News Coo.
A photo of Skyler was prominently printed on it.
It was a government bounty poster.
Member of the Tils Pirates from the South Blue, Demon skyler, bounty thirty-five million Berries!
He had seen early on that Skyler was somewhat extraordinary, thinking he was just a wandering swordsman on the sea, but he didn’t expect him to actually be a pirate!
Moreover, the bounty was as high as nearly forty million!
Even in the first half of the Grand Line, this number was enough to be called an absolute dangerous person!
“New face…
Tils Pirates?
Never heard of it.
What kind of heinous things did this person do to actually have such a bounty!” The president patted his chest.
This newspaper was the latest publication.
If he had known from the beginning that Skyler was such a ruthless person, he wouldn’t have brought the latter along even if it killed him.
It didn’t take long before Skyler arrived at Long Whale Island.
From far away, he saw that the island’s port was docked with quite a few pirate ships, including private vessels…
The prosperity of this island was clearly above Horseshoe Town, but it wasn’t large either, belonging to a private force.
For passing pirate crews, it was undoubtedly a supply point.
But wanting to go ashore to rest or reorganize required paying money.
Because at the port, armed personnel were guarding…
No money, no going ashore.
Seeing Skyler alone approaching from the sea, a group of people at the port were all stunned.
Relying on such a small boat to sail on the boundless sea was almost equivalent to suicide, not to mention how bizarre the New World’s climate was…
This man actually managed to do it!
“Welcome to Long Whale Island.
This is the territory of the great Executioner, Lord Monde…
The journey at sea will undoubtedly make people tired.
You can practice or resupply on the island.
Of course, there are also various entertainment items on the island.” A small boss stepped forward, blocked Skyler, and extended a finger: “Of course, there is an absolute rule here that cannot be disobeyed.
If you want to leave alive, you must absolutely obey Lord Monde’s arrangements!”
“Given that you are alone, you only need to pay one hundred thousand Berries.”
After speaking, he directly reached out to Skyler to demand it.
“Tils…
Tils Carlo, he is on the island, right?” Skyler turned a deaf ear to his words and simply mentioned a name.
The boss’s eyes flashed, feeling annoyed by Skyler’s disregard, and his gaze was unkind: “Pay up!”
Seeing his reaction, Skyler already knew that the person he was looking for was right here.
Immediately after, they brushed past each other.
“You!”
Seeing this, the latter raised the heavy machete in his hand, about to hack down.
But…
as soon as he moved, the next second, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed.
He was directly disemboweled…
And Skyler’s pace was unhurried, as if the person who struck was not himself.
“Kill him!”
From the port on the shore came angry shouts.
