Chapter 221 Apprenticeship

West Sea

Yalong Island

This is a small island near the edge of the windless belt.

It is located in a remote area, and there are no waterways nearby, so few people come.

The island is a relatively rare small island that retains some ancient features, but it is equivalent to a small garden of the great waterway. The preservation here is not thorough enough. There are only three kinds of prehistoric creatures on the island, and the rest are modern and modern creatures.

"breath-breath-breath--"

Hathaway was holding a long spear, lying quietly in the grass in a rainforest, breathing weakly, her eyes were sharp, and she was aiming at a giant raptor who was watching around by the lake not far away.

Compared to three months ago, she is much better now.

The original bald head has grown out now, but because the time is too short, only one short hair has grown, which is shorter than the short hair of normal girls.

However, this light blue short hair, matched with her snow-white skin and blue denim outfit, looked wild and beautiful.

at this time.

The giant raptor by the lake looked around and found no enemies, so he lowered his head and drank water with peace of mind.

"boom!"

A shot rang out, and bullets flew out.

"thump!"

The giant raptor fell to the ground, and the bullet shot into its head from its eyes.

"Screw rustle!"

Seeing this, Hathaway came out of the grass with a gun that smelled of gunpowder, and stepped forward to carefully observe the giant raptor.

Finally, she shook her head in disappointment.

"Clap clap clap!"

At this time, Rilis walked out of the rainforest while applauding, and said with a smile, "Not bad!"

"However, the bullet is still a bit crooked. Although it was shot into the eye, it also hurt the corner of the eye! This level is still much worse than Teacher!" Hathaway said disappointedly.

In order to make Hathaway have a certain ability to protect herself, Inoue Rightsuke specially transferred people from China to teach her in the past three months.

Of course, it wasn't from Rilis originally. After all, Rilis is the Minister of the Navy, and Yousuke Inoue couldn't invite him here!

But it just so happened that Rilis was not only free at the time, but he also wanted to see this small island that maintained its prehistoric style, so he invited Ying to teach Hathaway.

"It's not bad. Although you have practiced martial arts and held a gun before, but after all, you haven't touched it for five years, and picking it up again is just a little faster than someone who is completely inexperienced!"

"It's only been three months, you can pick it up again, and it's good to practice to this level! At least, your talent is the highest I've ever seen!" Rilis said sternly.

"Thank you for your compliment!" Hathaway paused, with a gloomy expression on her face, and said, "But at this level, if you want to defeat that man, it's still a long way off!"

"How old is he and how old are you? You have only been training for three months now, and you will definitely be better than him when you reach his age!"

"Also, as a shooter, as long as you have a good gun, you can quickly close the gap between you!"

Rilis knew who the man Hathaway was talking about. Although he had never fought against him, judging from Inoue Yusuke's information, his strength was no worse than he is now!

You must know that with the passage of time, Rilis, who has experienced many wars, is now stronger than before, and has risen by a small level, reaching the level of a colonel!

And although Hathaway had practiced martial arts before, but in five years, it has been completely abandoned. Even after three months of hard training, it is comparable to the first class of the Navy, reaching the level of corporal ( Corporal) rank.

And between her and that man, there are still a sergeant (sergeant), a chief officer (sergeant), a warrant officer, a second lieutenant, a lieutenant, a captain, a major (major), a lieutenant colonel (a lieutenant colonel), a chief officer (colonel), except for the warrant officer only If the military rank is not considered the strength level, there is a gap of eight levels.

Fortunately, guns are a good thing that can bridge the level gap!

Hathaway, who is gifted with firearms, can beat a soldier at the level of a military officer by leaps and bounds if she has an ordinary gun and is far enough away from the enemy.

"No, I know that with my current strength, no matter how good the gun is, I can't beat him!" Hathaway shook her head, she was still a little self-aware, with her current strength, even if it was matched with A good gun can't beat that man either!

"At least you can get closer, right?" Rilis smiled, took out a white gold 98K with roses engraved on it from behind and handed it over, then said, "This is a gift for you!"

"The gift of apprenticeship!?" Hathaway frowned slightly, a little puzzled, but still took the gun.

"Well, now three months have passed, you should also complete your mission! And I have taught you everything I should teach you. The rest is just more practice and more actual combat!" Lelis said solemnly. .

Hearing this, Hathaway was silent for a while, just when she wanted to say something.

"Screw rustle!"

At this time, a smiling woman walked out of the grass, who looked exactly like Hathaway and dressed exactly the same.

It was her twin sister, Vivian!

Although Inoue Yusuke was going to take her as a hostage, that was after the occupation of Ward Kingdom.

Before that, Inoue Yousuke didn't mind that the two sisters had more contact and increased their feelings, so they placed them together on Yalong Island according to their wishes.

When the time comes, Hathaway sets off and Vivienne will be left behind!

"Sister, sister, look, what I found, a very beautiful and peculiar fruit!" Vivienne showed off a purple fruit like a pineapple with a spiral pattern on it.

Before Hathaway could say anything, Rilis said in surprise, "Devil Fruit?"

"Devil Fruit!?" Hathaway felt a little familiar when she heard the name, as if she had heard it somewhere.

But five years of precarious life, struggling to survive every day, has made her hide all other knowledge except the knowledge of survival, so she didn't think of it for a while.

So she frowned and thought hard.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light!

"Is that the devil fruit known as the secret treasure of the sea?" Hathaway asked quickly.

"Is that the devil fruit with a market value of at least 100 million, known as the incarnation of the devil at sea?" Hathaway said this, and Vivian also remembered.

"Yes, this is it. I didn't expect you to be so lucky to find one in this place!" Rilis praised.

He really didn't expect it.

You must know that this island was specially selected by Inoue Right to train Hathaway. In order to ensure Hathaway's safety, every inch of the island was searched in advance.

It's incredible that Devil Fruits can be found under such circumstances!

"This fruit seems to have appeared suddenly. I just picked it up when I passed a wild orchard. I have passed by that orchard many times before. Although there are many fruits, there is absolutely no such fruit until I passed by just now. I just discovered it suddenly." Vivian frowned slightly.

Devil Fruit Reborn!

Rilis understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Hathaway and the two of them in detail about such a relatively confidential matter.

So, Rilis changed the subject and said, "Hathaway, don't you think your strength is not enough? Well, Devil Fruit is a rare fruit that can quickly increase strength!"

Hearing this, Hathaway looked at the devil fruit in Vivian's hands with some hot eyes, but after hesitating for a while, she still took the fruit from Vivian's hand and handed it to Rilis, sincerely said,

"Teacher has asked you to teach me carefully in the past few months, so that my strength has risen rapidly, so I want to give you this fruit!"

Hearing this, Rilis was stunned for a moment, then his eyes narrowed, and he carefully looked at Hathaway in front of him. After confirming her expression and the sincerity in her eyes, she suddenly reached out and touched Hathaway's head. He smiled and said, "From now on, you will be my disciple of Rilis!"

Originally, Rilis taught Hathaway just a routine, but at this moment, he really regarded Hathaway as his disciple.

"Teacher!" Hathaway understood what was going on when she heard it, so she handed over the fruit.

"No, although I haven't eaten devil fruit yet, I already have a pre-ordered devil fruit!" Rilis waved his hand and refused with a smile.

He really didn't lie. After reaching the colonel level, he found that his strength growth began to slow down, so he came up with the idea of ​​devil fruit.

With his credit and status, he easily applied for a known Devil Fruit from Arthur's side, but because the fruit was on Arthur, Arthur went to the World Congress again, so the fruit was not available for the time being.

"Really?" Hathaway looked at Rilis with some doubts.

"Of course, that Devil Fruit is a superhuman friction fruit, a fruit that can increase or decrease friction!" Seeing Hathaway's disbelief, Rilis explained the Devil Fruit's abilities in detail.

Hathaway nodded in confidence.

"Eat!" Rilis said with a smile.

"Yes, sister, eat quickly!" Vivian also assisted.

Under the persuasion of the two, Hathaway picked up the fruit and took a bite.

"Crack!"

"Woooo!"

A feces-like smell filled Hathaway's mouth, and immediately her pretty face showed a twisted expression, and she felt like she wanted to vomit, but this is a devil fruit, Hathaway dare not spit it out. , So, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands and swallowed it forcibly.

After that, she had an expression of resignation on her face, she gritted her teeth and picked up the fruit and wanted to bite it again.

Seeing this, Rilis hurriedly stopped her and said, "You only need one bite of the devil fruit, it's useless to eat more!"

"call--"

Hathaway breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, sister, try it now, what is your Devil Fruit ability?" Vivian grabbed the corner of Hathaway's clothes and said excitedly.

And Rilis also looked at Hathaway curiously.
