Chapter 2: food road
"steal?"
Although he just ate a devil fruit, Rosindi felt a burning sensation in his stomach, which was a request from his stomach to continue to 'eat'.
At the same time, the mouth was still secreting saliva, but there was no food left, so he could only swallow dryly.
"not that simple."
Facing Rossindi's proposal, Dover frowned and shook his head.
"To get to the galley where the food is, it is necessary to go through the gondolas where the sailors sleep, and the bosun's quarters: and get the chef's key."
"The chef and the bosun sleep in the same room, it's too dangerous to steal from them!"
Since the identity of the "Dragon Man" was exposed, Dover and Rocinandi have been living in hiding in the XZ. They are no longer children who don't understand anything, but steal, steal, rob, and kill without a teacher. Ruthless.
Otherwise, they would have died long ago under the pursuit of the civilians!
So when he was 'working' on this ship, Dover had quietly kept the ship's structure and personnel relationship in mind. Especially for the two of them: the kitchen where food is stored is a top priority.
If there is no food to eat, you will starve to death!
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to walk to the kitchen."
Rossindi waved his hand,
What he ate was the 'silent fruit', not the 'invisible fruit'.
Going across half of the boat to steal food from the kitchen... This difficulty is too high. With the strength of an ordinary child, it is no different from courting death.
This is an 'armed merchant ship',
When facing pirates, it is a merchant ship, and when facing a merchant ship in distress, don't mind being a "pirate" as a cameo!
Can't loot without the skull flag?
It is now 1494 in the lunar calendar of the sea, although Roger hasn't shouted out the phrase 'my treasure, if you want it, go and get it! ’, but the chaos at sea is worse than the future.
If they were discovered, Rossindi and Dover might not even have a chance to walk on the springboard, and they would just stab them to death and feed the sharks!
"What if you climbed over from the outside of the hull?"
The galley for storing food is located in the aft half of the ship, diagonally below the captain's cabin.
The area where Rosindi and Dover are located is located in the middle of the ship and the bottom: it was originally used to keep poultry and pigs and consume the rotting food on the ship.
Now it is sold to two people by the captain "magnanimously"!
"If you climb out the side gun ports, grab the starboard quarter with the grapples, and swing through—"
Stimulated by hunger, Rossindi's brain started at high speed, and he drew a rough 'sketch' on the floor with his nails, while Dover next to him pushed his sunglasses and began to supplement the details of this bold plan.
"Hook claws can be stolen from the sundries warehouse, there will be no guards there..."
"Although I haven't been close to the kitchen, when I was 'scraping', I saw that the windows behind the ship would often open, and there was oily smoke coming out..."
The so-called 'scraper' is to clean up parasites such as barnacles, oysters, and algae on the underwater hull. It is a kind of dirty and tiring hard work, and naturally the sailors gave it to Dover as a free coolie.
The severe 'hunger' that he had never experienced before was burning Rosindi's rationality, making him unable to think about other issues. No matter what dreams or future he had, he had to eat before talking about it.
Naturally, Dover would not object. In his thinking, there is no 'good' and 'bad' at all.
Some only have the persistence to survive, and the ferocity of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!
"Rosindy, you..."
But the series of performances of his brother made Dover instinctively sigh.
"changed."
"People change, let's get started."
Silently, the figures of two children crawled out from the cabin at the bottom. Instead of trying to cross the hammock-strewn sailor's area, they came to the icy cannon windows.
When the rope was pulled, the wooden gun door that would have creaked was pulled open. The narrow gun ports are not big enough for adults to pass through, but it is just right for two children who are struggling with hunger all year round.
'Give me the hook,'
Communicate with hand gestures, signaling Dover to hand over the hook attached to the rope, and Rosindi, half of his body protruding out of the gun door, took the hook and rotated it a few times—
Embarrassed to find that I don't have any 'throwing' skills.
There was a pat from behind, and Dover, who was wearing sunglasses, took the hook claw with an expression of 'Let me do it'.
Ahem, as expected, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
Get out of the way, and when Dover throws the hook, Rosindi uses the fruit of silence to eliminate the sound: the sound of the hook spinning through the air, and the sound of grabbing on the starboard side.
'Then let me swing over. '
With another rope tied around his waist, Rosinanti waved to a worried Dover, with a knife in his mouth.
Having just eaten the fruit of silence, the 'silent space' created is not very large, so Rosindi must do it himself.
I have to say that the current behavior is actually very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into the water and become a weight, and you may be discovered by the sailors on the ship at any time, and the two of you will be doomed.
It's a pity that the stomach is burning with hunger, and Dover's belt is so tight that it is only as thick as the mouth of a bowl, all of which make Rosindi, who has just crossed, have to take risks.
call-
Grasping the rope tightly with ten fingers, he kicked his feet first, and Rosinindi swung towards the rear of the boat in the sea wind.
state-
Under the effect of the fruit of silence, a long arc was drawn, and Rosinanti slammed into the rear of the ship without making any sound.
Before he felt the pain, half of his body completely lost consciousness, and then the place where he hit the ship wall turned from numbness to heat, and finally the severe pain radiated to all sides!
cluck cluck,,,
Ten fingers tightly clasped the rope in his hands, his feet subconsciously coiled around the rope, and he clenched his teeth firmly. After a few seconds... maybe a few minutes, Rosindi finally recovered.
The rope around his waist trembled slightly, and he turned his head and gave Dover, who was poking through the gun door, a smile of "I'm fine", took out the knife in his mouth and inserted it into the hull, and then moved little by little to the position of the window next to him.
It's not acting, you can successfully swing to the kitchen window in one go.
- A knife is a tool for climbing slowly.
The evening wind in the North Sea was icy cold, and goosebumps were layered under the thin clothes.
Coupled with the solidity of the hull, Rossindi climbed very hard. A few hours ago, he couldn't believe that he dared to play this kind of 'extreme sports' even if he was killed.
But now, in order to survive can only fight!
Fortunately, although this body was covered with scars, it was just a malnourished child, but it was surprisingly resilient, coupled with the will to survive, Rosindi finally managed to move to the kitchen window.
Climbing up to the window sill and prying open the window with a knife, Rosindi fell headfirst into the kitchen, feeling that his body no longer belonged to him. Apart from the heaving of his chest, he couldn't even move a single finger!
After a while, Rossindi got up and untied the rope around his waist, tied it firmly in the kitchen, then stuck his head out and gestured an "OK" to Dover who was guarding the gun door.
Unlike Rossindi, who was struggling to "open the way", Dover hung upside down on the rope and crawled over like an agile monkey.
As soon as he jumped in from the window, his eyes under the sunglasses were fixed on the food on the shelf next to him, and he couldn't move his eyes away.
"Give,"
Passing a piece of bread to Dover, Rossindi took a bite of the dried fish in his hand! Bite the fish bone until it cracks.
"Um-?!"
"What's going on, your ability has failed?"
Facing Dover who lowered his voice in horror, Rosindi shook his finger.
"Don't panic, just listen carefully."
Except for the sound of chewing dried fish, there was no sound of the 'wind and waves' that should be everywhere, which made Dover calm down.
"Your ability..."
"That's right, this trick is called 'Soundproof Wall'."
Although Silent Fruit is very 'useless', it also has an advantage: that is, it is easy to develop.
"Different from pure range mute, the sound insulation shield I deployed can block the sound of this kitchen and the outside world."
"Hahahaha, good job!"
"Rosie, your ability is amazing!"
Dover, who was short due to malnutrition, laughed excitedly, and took a bite of the bread in his hand, not afraid of attracting the attention of other people on board.
Taking a glass of liquid from the barrel next to him, Rosindi poured it down with his head raised, and the warmth spread from his stomach. The feeling of being alive made him feel the long-lost 'happiness'.
"Don't stare at one food,"
"We take a little of each, so that it is not easy to be noticed..."
Just when the two hungry children took a little bit of each food and ate big pieces by the moonlight. Because of their capabilities, they didn't notice that the kitchen door was shaking because someone turned the key from the outside.
null,
The kitchen door opened silently.
? !
For a moment, the two children who were stuffing food into their mouths, and the fat man at the door were all stunned.
——
In the next second, the fat man who opened his mouth and let out a silent 'shout' strode into the kitchen, and at the same time, he quickly pulled out a sharp knife from the shelf next to him, and slashed at Luo Xindi!
? !
The sharp light of the knife reflected in Rossindi's pupils, making him subconsciously burst out his abilities with all his strength. However, the silence ability is not lethal at all, just when the metal weapon is about to hit the top of his head—
The tall and strong fat man suddenly leaned back, and the red and white ones bloomed a flower of life in the air.
Immediately afterwards, the huge body fell silently, causing the whole kitchen to tremble suddenly, and the sharp knife also fell on the floor, jumping silently.
"—"
?
Turning his head and looking behind him, Dover, who was holding a flintlock gun, seemed to be saying, "It's all right."
Taking a bite of the dried fish splattered with blood in his hand, Rosinendi grunted silently when he encountered this series of shocks just after crossing.
This **** world!
